Chapter 409: The Difficulty of Dealing with Da Bao
After scolding was finished, the old lady noticed Liang Shi lingering around and refused to leave.
She found it quite distasteful, but considering that Liang Shi had been diligently assisting them in returning to the village for the past two days without caring about earning money, she temporarily didn't chase her away.
She pulled Shu Yu over, beaming with joy, and said, "When your Fourth Aunt and the others come to the county, our family will become even livelier."
Liang Shi nodded beside them and said, "That's right. But it seems like Big Sister-in-law isn't too happy."
The old lady glared at her and said, "If you feel uneasy in your heart, then give her the sewing job of making doll clothes."
"No!!" Liang Shi immediately refused. "I'm not feeling uneasy. Our family is in much more difficult circumstances now compared to theirs. Even though our family's Sanzhu has found work, the wages aren't high. We have a whole family to feed and need a place to live. The expenses are enormous. Especially for our two children, as you've said, we shouldn't let them suffer. Our Da Bao and Bao Ya are still young. If they go hungry, they won't grow well."
The old lady snorted a couple of times and mentioned Da Bao. It seemed like she had thought of something and asked Liang Shi, "Now that both you and your husband have jobs and some spare money, how about sending Da Bao to school?"
Liang Shi was shocked. "What? Send him to school?"
Shu Yu also looked surprised.
"Yes," the old lady nodded. "I was thinking that it would be good for a person to know how to read and write. They don't necessarily have to take the imperial exams, but having an education is different. Think about it, like Shanchuan, he gained the favor of the higher-ups. If he knew how to read, he might even become a scribe in the county government. That job is good, no need to suffer the wind and sun, and it has a high status. It's because he didn't study that he could only do manual labor."
The old lady actually quite liked manual labor deep down, but she deliberately deceived Liang Shi.
Mainly because Da Bao was too difficult to handle. They hadn't realized it before because there were always people to lend a hand. Even at the worst, they still had Da Hu to play with Da Bao.
But now that Da Hu had gone to school, Bao Ya was content as long as she had her dolls. She would hold onto them and follow San Ya around, playing with them all day.
There was only Da Bao left, at the age where people despised him. And to make matters worse, he couldn't sit still. If they didn't pay attention, he would run off.
Not to mention anything else, he had even run to Liufang Lane last night. When they found him, the brat didn't want to come back. The old lady had grabbed a big stick, ready to give him a beating, and only then did he cry and run back home.
It was truly exhausting.
The old lady had to admire her daughter-in-law, Liang Shi. Da Bao had been under their care for a long time, and they hadn't sent him back.
That's why the old lady thought of sending Da Bao to school, hoping it would help him improve his temperament.
With this suggestion, Liang Shi actually started thinking seriously.
In fact, her thoughts were exactly the same as the old lady's.
She also felt that this troublesome son needed to change. When they were in Shishi Village, it was fine to let him run wild. There wouldn't be any major issues within the same village, especially when San Ya was there to look after him.
But now, it was different. She couldn't control him.
Moreover, she had a beautiful idea in mind. Unlike what the old lady said, she wasn't expecting Da Bao to make a future for himself after completing his studies. After all, they had Yuan Shanchuan and Shu Yu, right? If they helped a little and had the educated Da Bao work in the county government, it wouldn't be impossible.
So Liang Shi nodded, firmly saying, "Mother, I think what you said makes sense. It's time to send him to school and teach him to read and write."
