Feng Shi and Man Bao said: "This man can be an accountant by studying, and he can also be a teacher. If he studies well, he may even be an examiner, but what is the use of a woman's study? When she is old, she has to marry, not to Going to the fields means doing housework at home, so what does it matter if you don’t read or not?”
Man Bao was speechless, but she always felt that what the second sister-in-law said was wrong.
After thinking about it, she finally found a counterargument, "Sir, reading is sensible."
Feng Shi: "It's the truth, you can understand it after talking about it. Don't worry, little girl, I will tell Erya. Look at us, don't you also know how to read? Who doesn't understand the truth? Girls learn the truth from their mothers." .”
Man Bao couldn't say no to her, so he slumped his shoulders and said, "Does that mean Erya can make money by learning to read, so you agree to Erya's ability to read?"
Feng: "She can't be an accountant, a teacher, or an examiner. How can she make money by learning characters?"
"I don't care, second sister-in-law, you promise me first, if she can make money by reading, you have to promise her to read and read with me."
"All right, all right," Feng said perfunctorily, "I promise you, well, I'm going to start a fire, there's a lot of smoke in the kitchen, you should go out quickly."
Man Bao didn't care if she was sincere or not, he only thought she agreed, so Man Bao ran to find Er Ya.
Ertou found the manuscript and found that my sister was missing, so I immediately dropped the manuscript to find my sister. He was responsible for taking care of my sister, how could I lose my sister
Man Bao ran to the river to look for Er Ya.
A group of people were washing clothes by the river. When Man Bao ran over, everyone greeted her, and a woman said loudly: "Oh, Man Bao is here to wash clothes. You have so many daughters in the Zhou family, why are you still there?" Do you use it for my aunt?"
Er Ya also saw Man Bao, and hurriedly stopped her from getting too close to the river, "Sister, why did you come here, I won't let you come to the river."
Man Bao said, "I've come to find you."
"I still have to wash clothes, sister-in-law, go back first."
The same woman said: "Man Bao, you also help your niece, you are not too young, your family is now in trouble again, you can no longer enjoy the happiness as before."
Man Bao felt that what she said made sense, nodded repeatedly and said: "My niece and daughter-in-law are right, I will help Er Ya."
Coincidentally, she also wanted to try washing clothes. She has never washed clothes in her old age. Man Bao looked at the river, her eyes lit up, and she had long forgotten the purpose of her coming here.
How dare Erya let Man Bao do the laundry? She couldn't help but glared at the woman, "Sister-in-law three, my family has many children, so what does it matter to you who does the laundry and who doesn't?"
"Hehe, Erya, this girl is getting tough too. Did you learn from your fourth uncle? Don't borrow money from my family when you're so tough."
Man Bao was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, and hurried to comfort her, "Sanzhu daughter-in-law, is it because your family is short of money and spent it? Don't worry, when my family earns money, it will be returned to your family first."
Thinking that she would go to the county town to earn money tomorrow, she patted her chest confidently and said, "Tomorrow I will go to the county town to earn money, and I will return it to your family when I come back."
A child of a few years old, still sounding like a baby, just imitates the words of adults. The first sentence makes people laugh out loud, and everyone can't laugh when they say the last sentence. Someone couldn't help asking Erya, "Erya, your family Are you really going to sell your sister-in-law?"
Erya said sharply: "What nonsense are you talking about? How could our family sell my sister-in-law?"
Man Bao also said seriously: "Our family does not sell children."
"Then how do you make money in this short period of time?" Sanzhu's daughter-in-law couldn't help but said: "The busy farming is over, there is no work in the field, why can't the work in the county be your family's turn?"
Man Bao proudly said: "We are going to sell flowers, just wait, we will definitely make money."
Sanzhu's daughter-in-law asked, "What flower?"
Man Bao opened his mouth, and finally said: "All kinds of flowers."
Er Ya grabbed Man Bao and said, "Sister-in-law, go home quickly, I'll take you to play after I finish washing the clothes?"
Man Bao shook his head, looking at the clear river with piercing eyes, "No, Erya, I'm an adult, let me help you wash your clothes."
"Then how?"
"Why not?" Man Bao said seriously, "I am your aunt, you have to listen to me."
When everyone saw it, they all helped Erya stop Manbao. Who didn't know that she was the baby of the Zhou family? Moreover, they have been in poor health since they were young. If they really touched cold water for good or bad, the Zhou family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law would have to tear them apart.
Sanzhu's daughter-in-law didn't take it seriously. Who didn't come here when she was a child? When she was so old, she would even burn the rice and wash clothes. What's so strange
She rolled her eyes, and stepped back, let Man Bao squat beside her, and gave her her own clothes, "Come to Man Bao, I'll teach you how to wash."
Man Bao is not stupid, her own clothes can still be separated from other people's clothes, so she asked Sanzhu's daughter-in-law very happily, "My niece and daughter-in-law, do I get paid to do your laundry for you? You don't have to give it to me, Just pay off the debt directly."
Sanzhu's daughter-in-law heard the words, immediately took the clothes back, and said sharply: "I have seen it, you really know how to make money, I have never heard that you need money to wash clothes."
"If you are my aunt, my elder, of course I don't want it. I respect you, but aren't you my nephew and daughter-in-law? Then of course I have to ask for money as an elder to work for you," Man Bao said. Being by her father's side, she understood the truth very well, she still wanted to wash the clothes for Sanzhu's daughter-in-law, and said: "Sanzhu's daughter-in-law, don't worry, I don't want more from you, I just want a penny, whatever you want."
The person on the side who couldn't understand Sanzhu's daughter-in-law also smiled and said: "Yes, yes, Sanzhu's wife, Man Bao is your aunt. If you ask your aunt to wash your clothes, you have to give some filial money."
Some older ones also said: "Although Man Bao is young, she has a high seniority, San Zhu's daughter-in-law, don't bully the elders."
Sanzhu's daughter-in-law was so angry that she simply put the clothes in the water, twisted them and left.
Man Bao was still waving from behind, "Nephew and daughter-in-law, next time if you don't want to do laundry, let me know, and I'll do it for you. It's really cheap."
Erya couldn't help being happy, and also called after her, "Sister-in-law, I can wash it for you too, it's cheaper!"
"Okay, okay, stop teasing her, Erya, your family still owes the village chief's money." Someone advised.
Er Ya felt a little lost when she thought of this.
But Man Bao didn't feel the pressure. In her opinion, if she went to the county seat tomorrow, she would definitely earn a lot of money, and she would naturally be able to pay off her debts. Moreover, "The village elder brother is different from his daughter-in-law. He is grand, and his nephew and daughter-in-law Still have to learn."
Everyone couldn't help being happy when they heard Man Bao's words, "This child speaks like an adult, do you know what is air?"
Man Bao puffed his face and said: "I'm not stupid, my nephew and daughter-in-law don't like me, but it doesn't matter, I'm an elder, I don't have the same knowledge as her."
The child is the most sensitive, who likes her and who doesn't like her, she feels very clearly.
But it doesn't matter, who told Sanzhu to be her nephew and Sanzhu's wife to be her nephew? As an elder, she would not know them as well.
