Chen Xuan felt that it was not a good thing for her to eat alone last time.
This time, she said she couldn't do anything. However, since this was Wei Nian's thing, Chen Xuan had to discuss the distribution with Wei Nian. In fact, according to the current rules, if there is anything good, of course it should be given to the old lady. Chen Xuan herself also likes to eat chocolate candies, and she is not reluctant to give it up, but once it is in the hands of the old lady, most of it will definitely go into the mouths of Wei Jin and her son, and it is hard to say whether others can get it. Chen Xuan has a better relationship with Li and Wei Yin, and she is biased towards Wei Jie and Wei Mingyun in her heart.
Chen Xuan thought that while Wei Jin was not at her parents' home, she would give some to the children. Of course, the sister-in-law and the old lady would also have some, but the share that should belong to Wei Jie and Wei Mingyun was absolutely indispensable.
Chen Xuan spent a whole day thinking about this perfect distribution plan, but Wei Nian rejected her plan with just one sentence. Wei Nian said, "I bought this for you to eat. I won't give it to anyone else. You can eat it all by yourself. If you give it to others and I find out, I will be angry." What a stupid girl, if he wanted to give it to the old lady and nephews, he would have taken it to the old lady's room long ago.
Chen Xuan was afraid that Wei Nian would get angry, so she had to not mention it. Chen Xuan said, "I think it's not good to eat alone like this."
"It's not bad. I bought it specially for you so that you can eat it alone." Wei Nian peeled a candy and handed it to Chen Xuan's lips. Chen Xuan quickly reached out to take it and emphasized again, "Brother Nian, I can peel the candy wrapper myself."
Wei Nian smiled, didn't respond to Chen Xuan's words, clapped his hands, stood up and left.
Wei Niantong also told his family about Wei Yin's painting studies. It was only one dollar a month, and for the Wei family, this little money was not much. What Mrs. Wei was not happy about was, "Your sister hasn't married yet, so it's not good for her to show up in public. I heard that the men and women in the university are not decent people. They stay in a small room every day listening to the teacher's nagging. Nowadays, the world is getting more and more unreasonable. They even ask boys and girls to go to school in the same room. How can this be!" She didn't want her daughter to go there, thinking that it was not a decent place.
Wei Nian simply did not tell the old lady. Wei Nian discussed it with the old grandfather. Wei Nian thought that what Chen Xuan said to him privately when she found out about Lu San's background was very reasonable, so he simply modified what he said to his father, "Nowadays, girls don't have to be seventeen or eighteen to get married. Many girls get married after the age of twenty. Besides, Dad, many families will ask about the girl's education when choosing a daughter-in-law. Ah Yin is not bad looking and smart. It's just that she didn't study in school for a few days, which makes her look inferior. Now let Ah Yin learn some painting. When we find a husband for Ah Yin in the future, it will be a source of pride."
"I'm worried about Ah Yin going to those places where I don't know their roots." Old Master Wei knocked his pipe on the edge of the kang, knocking out a few wisps of tobacco ash.
"Let my wife go with her." Wei Nian took out the tobacco from his pipe and put it into the old man's pipe. He lit it with a match. Old Master Wei took two deep puffs and exhaled a cloud of pungent smoke. Then he heard his youngest son say, "My wife is very honest. She feels uncomfortable when I give her a little help outside. When she is with Ah Yin, why are you worried, Dad?"
"That's a good idea." Old Master Wei thought that, firstly, Chen Xuan was his sister-in-law, and secondly, Chen Xuan was honest and reliable, so Old Master Wei would feel at ease leaving the matter to Chen Xuan.
When Wei Nian saw that his father no longer objected, he knew that his father had agreed to this matter.
After Wei Yin knew that her family agreed to let her learn painting, she was very happy for several days. She even asked Chen Xuan and Li to make a new dress for her, which caused the old lady Wei to complain again. In fact, the old man Wei was not as stubborn as his children imagined. This old man who had made his fortune from scratch not only agreed to let Wei Yin learn painting, but also asked his eldest son Wei Shi to find a primary school for his granddaughter Yun Jie'er to study in.
For this reason, Old Mrs. Wei was very unhappy and thought it was inappropriate for her daughter to learn painting in public. There was no need for Yun Jie'er to go to elementary school. Even if she wanted to learn to read, Wei Yin at home was literate and could teach Yun Jie'er a few words, which would save her dozens of dollars in tuition fees a year.
However, family affairs have always been decided by Old Master Wei. Since Old Master Wei has made the decision, even if Old Madam Wei is not happy, that is what it is.
Chen Xuan was also a little surprised that Yun Jieer could go to school. Wei Nian glanced at Chen Xuan's frank face and said directly, "What era is it now? Although Dad is a little old-fashioned, he is not unreasonable. Many girls in families go to school now, and our family can afford the tuition. It would be a pity if Yun Jieer didn't go to school."
"That's true." Chen Xuan thought about it and smiled. She had been studying at night for a year. Even if she had been studying secretly, her family would not have known about it. But except for Mrs. Wei and Wei Jin who occasionally muttered a few words, Grandpa Wei hadn't said anything.
Chen Xuan was the one who encouraged people to study the most. When she knew about this, she told Li, "I will take care of the schoolbag job. Don't compete with me."
Wei Yin was also happy for Yun Jie Er, "I'll make a new dress for Yun Jie Er."
Li smiled, "You have clothes and schoolbags, but I have nothing to do."
"This is Sister Yun's first time going to school. She has so many things to prepare. How can Sister-in-law have time to spare?"
After all, it was a happy event, so the three sisters-in-law and aunts-in-law had a good time. Only Old Lady Wei was very reluctant to let Yun Jieer go, and even Old Master Wei was complained by her. As for the content of the complaint, it was nothing more than the old saying that girls didn't have to go to school. As for the reason for the complaint, Chen Xuan privately guessed that the old lady might feel that if Yun Jieer went to school, there would be no one at home to accompany her to the theater to watch a play.
Before Yun Jieer started going to school, Old Lady Wei had already arranged to bring Wei Jin and her two grandchildren to her parents' home. This year, the Zhao family had a lot of things going on, and Old Lady Zhao was beaten up. The family was unhappy all the time, so Wei Jin was unable to return to her parents' home to live for a long time. Now that things are better, Wei Jin saw Wei Nian coming to pick her up, and Old Lady Zhao did not object, and immediately packed her bags and brought her sons over.
When Wei Jin returned to her parents' home, she could not help but complain about her mother-in-law. "My mother-in-law is so secretive. I didn't even know that Lu San had someone else outside! If I knew, I would have slapped that little beast to death. He has such a big face! My mother-in-law said she didn't know. She didn't know why my father-in-law was so angry? He got beaten himself, but he still wanted to provoke others. I still have my parents' home where I can hide away for a few days, but my poor sister-in-law has to look at her face and suffer from her anger all day long!"
However, when Wei Jin knew that Yun Jie'er was going to school, he said directly, "When Ah Shi is looking for a school, help Ah Feng and Ah Yu find one as well. They are old enough and it's time for them to go to school."
Wei Shi was also very concerned about his nephews' schooling. Since Yun Jie'er was a girl, Wei Shi looked for a girls' school for her, and naturally a boys' school for his nephew. Even when it came time to register and pay the tuition, Wei Jin had no reaction at all. You know, going to school is not a small amount of money. For example, the church elementary school that Yun Jie'er was going to attend cost 30 yuan a year in tuition. For Wei Jin's two sons, it would cost 60 yuan.
Usually, Wei Jin likes to ask for money when she goes back to her parents' home. Everyone turns a blind eye to this, but she can't ask her parents to pay for the children's schooling. Wei Shi can't make the decision on this matter. After all, the children's schooling is paid by the public. Wei Shi mentioned it to his father. Old Master Wei said directly, "Let your eldest sister pay for it herself."
For this matter, Wei Jin ran to the old lady's room and cried to his mother. His eyes were swollen like rotten peaches, but he was still wiping tears. "If I had money, I would have sent the children to school long ago! Mom, you don't know my in-laws. My mother-in-law is reluctant to spend a penny on the three of us! My parents arranged such a stingy family for me, but now they can't ignore me! Yunjie, a little girl, can go to school. Our Fengge'er and Yuge'er are also grandchildren of the old Wei family, so why can't they? At my in-laws' family, they don't treat us three as human beings. At my mother's family, my mother's family says I am an outsider. If they don't care about me, I won't live~" He cried again, and cried until his mother, old lady Wei's heart turned into dough. The heartache fermented and turned into sadness. Old lady Wei also slapped her thighs and cried and sang, "My poor daughter."
Wei Shi and Wei Nian were speechless when they saw their mother and sister like this.
Old Master Wei made a move and said to Wei Jin, "When you go back to your husband's house, you can ask for the tuition for Feng'er and Yu'er. You can keep the tuition for yourself and I will pay for their tuition. If you don't pay, don't even mention it."
Wei Jin's eyes lit up, and she stopped complaining immediately. She tried to open her swollen eyes wide, but they were not wide enough. However, Wei Jin's mind was unusually clear, and she immediately said in a hoarse voice, "Okay! Dad, I remember what you said, I will go home tomorrow!"
As for whether the eldest daughter would use her private money to fool Old Master Wei, based on Old Master Wei's understanding of the eldest daughter, if she wants to take advantage of such a big opportunity, the eldest daughter must get the 60 yuan tuition fee from her husband's family no matter what means!
When Chen Xuan learned about this, she was extremely impressed by Old Master Wei.
