C18 All Three Brothers Had to Go to High School
"Little Aunt, you said that Uncle and the others would go fishing in the river every two days. They caught crabs and added vegetables to the house. Doesn't that count? My mother has already done all the work at home, yet she still can't make up for a little bit of food?
If one day my father doesn't go down and help Eldest Uncle do half of the work, then how about Eldest Uncle give half of the work to my father? Also, every year, my father either moves rocks or fish ponds to clear the mud. Every two to three months, he gets 15 RMB a month. There are at least 30 RMB here.
There was no shortage of wages in the land. In winter, from November to March, the eels they looted every week could be sold for three to four RMB in the supply and distribution center, and there were at least 12 RMB per month. That was 60 eels to be looted. 30 eels to work for. 90 eels a year.
If you really think that our second house is taking advantage of a big family, then let the old clan head do it. And the village chief will judge. Look at how much my parents have done. Could it be that they really can't raise the six of us? Is there a need to take advantage of the other houses? "
Mu Guangyao raised his head and stared at Mu Yuehua with a cold gaze.
It was like a poisonous snake had its eyes on its prey and was ready to bite her to death at any moment.
Mu Yuehua's heart stopped beating twice and her lips pursed into a straight line. She did not dare to speak anymore.
One year was ninety. With the addition of extra work and full salary, not to mention supporting the second house and the family, even the money earned every year could be saved quite a bit.
"So we want to move out. Is there a problem?"
After settling the accounts, Mu Anze naturally went back to talking about the branch family.
Old Man Mu smoked two mouthfuls of dry smoke and was silent for a while before saying, "Then send Zhizhi to school. At least save some money and live a life."
No matter how much they delayed it, it was impossible for them not to send Zhizhi to school.
After all, the grandsons and granddaughters of the third room had to go to school in less than two years. No matter how they jumped, they could not jump.
It was better to be more straightforward, in case they really split the house.
"Zhizhi is not going. Big Brother's grades are good. Let Big Brother go! Mu Tongtong's brother is a high school student. She said that we are useless. I also want to have a high school brother." Mu Zhizhi shook her little head hard and reached out to hug Mu Anze.
She had to coax her brother properly. She must not waste this rare opportunity to send a little kid like her to school.
Fury surged in Mu Anze's heart but he did not speak immediately. Instead, he carried Mu Zhizhi into his arms first.
The three brothers in the second room all looked at Mu Tongtong, their gazes sharp as they cut her again and again.
Old Lady Cui did not expect that this was her precious granddaughter stirring up trouble again. She flipped her hand and threw it fiercely onto Mu Tongtong's face.
After hitting her to the ground and listening to Mu Tongtong's crying, she also plopped onto the ground and started to cry loudly.
"Sins! Why do I have two granddaughters who have so many things to do! You won't stop until your family is broken up, right?"
"How about..." Mu Guosheng looked at his mother crying like this and looked at his sons with some difficulty.
Mu Zhizhi bit her hand and shook her head heavily, "No! Big brother is going to high school and can go to the city to eat commercial food."
"It is commercial food." Mu Anze gently scratched her little nose, feeling a great heartache.
He did not expect Mu Tongtong to say so much unpleasant things to his sister when they did not know.
If he had known this earlier, he would have brought his two younger brothers and caused a ruckus.
When Mu Guosheng heard the words commercial food, the struggle in his eyes dimmed again. His head was hanging on his chest and he did not speak anymore.
Although he could not bear to see his mother cry like this, his eldest son's grades were so good.
When he said that he would not continue to study in high school, even the teachers in the school were crying. He even specially came to the house to inquire about the situation.
If it wasn't for the fact that he really couldn't afford it, how could he bear to not let his son study in high school for thirty yuan a year?
It was easy for him to find a job in the city in high school. In the future, he could even help his two younger brothers and younger sisters.
His family's life in the village was much better.
"Zhizhi doesn't want to study?" Although Mu Anze also wanted to study in high school, his sister was already six years old. The children in the village went to school when they were five.
After she finished her primary school, she would be ten years old and eleven years old. She would be able to help with the work at home.
"I'm not going! Brother, go to high school and teach me. I can jump levels like you." Mu Zhizhi raised her small hands and spoke with great ambition.
Her big brother's grades were very good. He skipped one level in primary school and one level in junior high school just to save more money for his family.
Of course, she did not do it to save money. She simply did not want to waste time in school.
If she really wanted to jump, she could directly participate in the college entrance exam three years later.
Mu Guangyao heard Mu Zhizhi's words and his eyes flashed. Then he looked at Mu Anze firmly. "Big brother, you go to high school."
He did not say much, but when Mu Anze looked at him, his gaze fell on Mu Zhizhi. He did not understand.
Mu Anze knew that his little brother had a lot of thoughts. He thought about it carefully and understood what he meant.
They had probably earned some money today. Even if the second house had to pay for their own tuition fees, they would still be able to earn it. That was why they said that.
However, he was in high school, so he could teach his two brothers and his sister.
When the time came, he would work hard to learn. He might even be able to skip a grade. This way, he would be able to save some money and think of a way to earn more. Who knows, maybe they would all be able to get their education.
"Okay, I'll go to high school." Mu Anze nodded his head heavily.
Old Lady Cui stopped crying when she heard this. Then, she started to cry with snot and tears.
"What a sin! She had to die! It wasn't easy for him to pull up a kid and earn money from the ground. He actually wanted to go to school and waste his time and money. He's deliberately wanting to starve us to death."
Mu Churong was howling until his head hurt. He covered Mu Zhizhi's ears and continued to anger Old Lady Cui without fear of death.
"He doesn't want to go down! I have to study! Not only my big brother is going to high school, but Radiant Light and I are also going to high school. Since we're not allowed to study, we'll just mess around until our family tells us to study."
" What's the use of making a fuss? Does your family have the money to study for you? " Old Man Mu was so angry that he trembled.
Mu Churong raised his neck, unconvinced. "Why not? Didn't little uncle have a monthly allowance of thirty? Nine months is enough for us three brothers to finish high school! When we graduate from high school and find a job... Then return the money to little uncle.
Didn't Grandpa and Yin say that this family doesn't separate from each other because they want to support each other? We gave all the money we earned to Grandma. In the end, the other families didn't even want to lend us money, not to mention support us?"
" Dream on! If you don't work, don't even think about eating! " When Old Lady Cui heard that they were actually thinking of getting a subsidy from her youngest son, she did not even cry and fiercely spat.
"That's good. Since you don't want to eat, then my father and mother won't work either." Mu Churong was completely like a dead pig that wasn't afraid of boiling water.
Old Man Mu was so angry that he felt dizzy. He pressed his head and wondered if he should pretend to be unconscious.
