Han Ze really didn't think too much about it, nor was he being overly sentimental. Ge Cuiju really wanted to be Han Ze's concubine. After the man she remarried died, she had thought about marrying again, but she had never met the right one.
She thought that her cousin had not been able to give Han Ze a healthy son in the past few years, and Han Ze must be anxious. Although this man was irresponsible, the family had land and no worries about food and drink. If she gave him another son, he would not have to worry about the rest of his life. What she was worried about was how to get Han Ze to agree to be beaten and take her as a concubine.
Ge Cuiju's eyes were too burning, and Ge's father, mother, and Ge Hongbu's eyes were too anxious. Han Ze sat on the chair and said something irrelevant: "Dad, Mom, our little six is fine. When he can speak fluently next year, I plan to send him to the town's school."
Ge Hongbu's worries disappeared. Yes, Xiao Liuzi was not stupid and could speak now. She knew what a man expected of his son, and she knew the clan rules of the Han family. It was not allowed for him to take a concubine, so she did not need to worry.
Ge's father and mother thought the same thing. They were worried in vain. Xiao Liuzi was normal. According to the rules of the Han family, the son-in-law no longer had to think about taking a concubine. Cui Ju's thoughts were about to fail. Thinking of this, they were relieved. Ge's mother smiled and said, "I'll go kill a chicken. The old man will help me catch the chicken."
When Ge Cuiju heard Han Ze's words, her body froze. Xiao Liuzi was already well, but Han Ze wanted him to go to school? When did this happen
Hearing what Mother Ge said, she looked up and said, "Aunt, can I have lunch at your house at noon?"
Mother Ge was a little reluctant. If it was just a normal meal, she would not be reluctant to leave. But her son-in-law came today and Cui Ju had that kind of thought. She didn't want Ge Cui Ju to stay here. But Cui Ju had already opened her mouth, and it would obviously be bad for her to disagree. She could only say, "Okay, it's just you, so you don't have to go back to prepare meals."
Ge Hongbu stood up and said, "Mom, I'll help you."
Mother Ge said without thinking: "No, you stay here with Han Ze."
Silly girl, Cui Ju is here, why don't you take care of Han Ze? Why are you causing trouble? Even if it is the rule of the Han family that concubines are not allowed, what if Cui Ju is determined to be Han Ze's concubine and has evil thoughts? If something goes wrong, what Han Ze thinks is not up to him.
Ge Hongbu smiled bitterly and followed Ge's mother into the kitchen. She knew what her mother was thinking, but if Han Ze had other thoughts, it would be useless for her to watch over him every day.
Mother Ge shook her head and sighed, "You, you!"
Ge Hongbu lowered his head, picked up the vegetables and started cutting them without saying a word.
Ge's father, Ge's mother and Ge Hongbu all left. Han Ze ignored Ge Cuiju and just talked to Ge's brother-in-law. During the conversation, Ge Cuiju wanted to talk to Han Ze, but was interrupted by him.
Ge Cuiju secretly hated him and said jokingly, "My elder brother-in-law is so good to me. He gave birth to so many girls, but Xiao Liuzi is still a fool, and my elder brother-in-law didn't even think of divorcing his wife and taking a concubine..."
The two brothers-in-law of the Ge family frowned. What was Cui Ju saying
Han Ze paused and said, "Taking a concubine is to continue the family line. Xiao Liuzi is well now, why do we need to take a concubine? Besides, although I look strong, I can't withstand two hundred beatings. I don't want to cripple myself just to take a concubine."
Uncle Ge had a smile on his face and looked at Han Ze with satisfaction.
Ge Cuiju's face was a little gloomy. She knew Han Ze was a coward, otherwise she should have entered the Han family. She laughed twice: "It's not that serious, right? Besides, for the sake of my son, it's worth it to get two hundred strokes of the cane."
Seeing that she was still unwilling to give up, Han Ze smiled and said, "You can't live just for your son. Besides, I already have a son. I don't want to spend the rest of my life giving birth to another son. One son is enough to carry on the family line. If I have more, I have to support them and find wives for them in the future. I may even have to support my grandchildren. It's a waste of effort and money. I think it's a huge loss to waste my best life giving birth to and raising sons."
The eldest brother-in-law of the Ge family couldn't help but twitch his mouth. Should he be glad that his sister only gave birth to a son
Ge Cuiju's face became even uglier. Han Ze just didn't want to take a concubine. She couldn't help but asked sarcastically with a dark face, "Do you really want Ge Hongbu so much?"
Han Ze's eyelids twitched, and he said unhappily, "You shouldn't ask this."
The eldest brother-in-law of the Ge family was also a little impatient. If he still didn't know Cui Ju's thoughts at this point, he would have lived in vain for more than 30 years. He was very angry. He had never seen a sister thinking about her brother-in-law so blatantly. Who gave her the courage
He shouted, "Ge Cuiju, you must be crazy!"
Ge Cuiju sat there expressionless, and everyone knew that she was dissatisfied.
Han Ze glanced at his brother-in-law and said, "Brother, I'm going to go out and see Xiao Liuzi."
The elder brother-in-law of the Ge family responded, and Ge Cuiju looked at Han Ze's back, stood up and ran out. The elder brother-in-law of the Ge family was startled, thinking that she had gone to find Han Ze, and hurriedly chased after her. When he saw her running to Han Ze and running away without stopping, he breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, fortunately this girl was not too crazy.
After returning from the Ge family, Han Ze forgot about Ge Cuiju and focused on teaching the children at home to read and write.
During the autumn harvest, Han Ze hired people to help and paid them. It took them half a month to finish harvesting the fields. After the autumn harvest, Han Ze took back the land that he had rented to Han Xingwang's family. Liu Juhua's fuss was useless.
After the autumn harvest, the wheat was planted in the fields and Han Ze began to teach the children to read.
Wang Lanhua's two sons have married and have children. Han Maode built a house for them next to Han's house. They have all seen Han Ze's actions in recent days. The children at home are of reading and writing age, and Han Ze teaches the children to read. They have some ideas in their minds and want Han Ze to teach their children, but they don't know how to bring it up.
Wang Lanhua’s ex-husband’s surname was Chen. His eldest son, Chen Dachui, married Zheng, and his second son, Chen Xiaochui, married Yang.
Although men are reluctant to bring up matters, women have no scruples about it. Zheng and Yang found Ge Hongbu and told him about this matter.
Ge Hongbu felt embarrassed by the words of the two sisters-in-law. Xiao Liuzi had recovered recently and talked more. She heard from the eldest girl that Xiao Liuzi was very smart and talented in studying. Maybe he would pass the imperial examination in the future. Han Ze was in a good mood because of this and never got angry again. Even so, she didn't dare to agree to this casually. Who knew if Han Ze would get angry again
He just said, "I have to ask Han Ze about this."
Zheng and Yang also understood her and did not embarrass her. Little did they know that they had already made it difficult for her by making such a request. However, since she had promised her two sisters-in-law, she still took the time to ask Han Ze. Han Ze frowned and said, "We have six children plus two sisters, eight students. If the nephews also want to come to study, there will be no room in the study."
Besides, he was not a teacher. If he really wanted his children to study, why didn't he send them to a village school? It wouldn't cost much money.
Ge Hongbu thought so and said: "I'll tell my two sisters-in-law."
Han Ze said, "I'll tell my mother about this, don't worry about it, or you'll get blamed."
Ge Hongbu stared blankly at Han Ze's back. Is this man caring about her
Han Ze went to the yard. Wang Lanhua was sewing shoe soles, and Han Maode was smoking a cigarette beside her. He sat down and said, "Mother, my two sisters-in-law came to Ge Hongbu and hoped that I could teach my nephews to read. The study is small, and it is not suitable for the children to squeeze together. Besides, in the spring, I plan to send Xiao Liuzi to a private school in town. My nephews should go to the village school or town. They can be taught better there."
Wang Lanhua was stunned and put down her shoe sole: "Did Zheng and Yang say that?"
Han Ze responded, and Wang Lanhua nodded: "I understand, I will tell your brother and the others."
After Wang Lanhua finished speaking, she couldn't help but frowning. It wouldn't cost much money for a child to study in the village school, but her two sons were used to being frugal and they were reluctant to even pay for their children's education. This was not being frugal, this was being stingy.
Wang Lanhua called her two sons over and scolded them, "Your father raised you, built a house for you, and helped you find wives. Your own father is no better than this. Normally, we don't let you show respect to him. Now you are unwilling to pay money for your own children to study, and you want to take advantage of everything. Is this what I taught you?"
Chen Dachui and Chen Erchui were filled with shame. Seeing that they knew they were wrong, Wang Lanhua said, "No matter how much money your father has, it has nothing to do with you. Don't think about it or dwell on it. You should use the money you earn with your own ability to make it worthwhile. Go to the town to find work during the slack season. You can earn dozens of coins a day, and you can earn a lot of money in a winter. Just look at Han Chengming and you will understand the consequences of taking shortcuts. I heard that his two children are doing well in the village school. Now Han Chengming has run all over the village to raise money for them, but he couldn't borrow any money... I don't want my son to end up like this."
Chen Dachui and Chen Erchui felt even more ashamed. It was not that they had no money, but they were reluctant to spend so much money to support their children's education. But their mother was right. They could not expect others to help them with everything. It was a favor for Han Ze to help them. It was his duty not to help them. Chen Dachui said, "In the spring, I will send the two children to the village school. If they do well, they can go to school in the town in the future."
Wang Lanhua said with relief: "That's right. No matter how poor we are, we can't save money on our children's education. If Xiaochun and Xiaodong had been allowed to study, their marriage wouldn't be so difficult."
Chen Dachui and Chen Erchui always listened to their mother. The next day, they went to the town to find work and earn money.
Xiao Liuzi was indeed quite intelligent. In Han Ze's opinion, this kid was even more gifted in studying than the son-in-law who was the top scholar in his previous life. He could remember a lot of knowledge after being taught twice. At the end of the year, Han Ze deliberately slowed down the teaching progress, but the child still finished several enlightenment books. However, Da Niu and her sisters had just finished learning the Three Character Classic because they were going to learn needlework.
Thinking that Xiao Liuzi would go to a private school after the New Year, Han Ze thought about giving the children names. It was not appropriate to call them Big Girl, Two Girls, Three Girls, Four Girls, Five Girls, and Little Liuzi.
When the older girls heard their father say that he was going to give them names, they were eager to try. They knew how to read and also wanted to come up with nice names.
Han Ze smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll give you all nice names."
After hearing Dad's reply, the girls felt relieved.
