Reborn Ugly Girl Farming to Support the Family

Chapter 37: A school is opening in the village

There were several old uninhabited houses in the village, and the village chief had them cleaned up and used as a school.

As for the tuition fee, since the scholar was the only one in his family, he did not ask for a high one.

Students who want to come here to study only need to pay 40 cents per month, plus some rice, flour and vegetables.

But the prerequisite is that there must be no less than 10 students from the village coming to study, otherwise the tuition fee will have to be adjusted upward.

If you want to go to school, go to the village chief’s house tomorrow to register.

Compared with schools in the city, this price is really a fair price.

I just don't know how knowledgeable this scholar is. I hope he is not just here to eat and drink for free.

After the brother and sister returned home, they told their family about the plan to open a school in the village.

Zhou Chunfeng sat on the kang and rubbed the corn. "When school starts, you and Lixia will go to study on Qingming Festival."

Zheng Qingming sat on the ground, lowered his head and looked at his fingers.

After a long while, he said sullenly, "Mom, I won't go to school. Let Lixia go."

Zhou Chunfeng raised her head and looked at her eldest son, "Why don't you want to go?"

Zheng Qingming still didn't look up. "I'm already this old, what's the point of going to school? And if I go to school, how will I do the housework?"

"I can take care of the housework. You are not needed."

"I won't go. The school is full of little kids. It would be embarrassing for a grown-up like me to study with them."

Zheng Qingming usually seems to have a gentle personality, but when faced with problems he can be really stubborn.

Zhou Chunfeng put down the corn in her hand and said, "There's nothing to be ashamed of. We are here to study, not to gossip. If you study hard, I don't think anyone will laugh at you."

Zheng Dashan also said, "Qingming, Dad's leg is much better now. Now he can make money by weaving things. You can just go back to school with peace of mind."

He knew that his son didn't want to go to school, mostly because of his leg, and half because the family was too poor.

He sighed and realized that he was a burden to his son.

No matter what they said, Zheng Qingming just kept his head down and said nothing.

Zheng Xiaoman looked at his brother. He had made up his mind not to go to school anymore. No matter what his mother and father said, it was of no use.

He originally wanted to wait until next year when his family's conditions improved so that he would be willing to go, but who would have thought that a school would suddenly open in the village.

She thought for a moment and said, "Brother, you are the backbone of the family now. Only when you are well can our family become better.

But now even if you are at home, at most you can help with farming. Apart from farming, what else can you do to help your family?

Or do you think that you are so important that without you to work at home, the family will be in trouble?"

Zheng Qingming raised his head in panic, "No, I didn't mean that, I just... I just..."

Zheng Xiaoman interrupted him, "What do you think you are? Do you think we are all a burden and that we all have to rely on you for support?"

Zheng Qingming's eyes turned red with anxiety, "Xiao Man, how can you say that? Why do I feel that you are a burden?"

Zheng Xiaoman still had no expression on his face, "You don't think so, but you do it.

Brother, we are not a burden to you. On the contrary, we have contributed no less to this family than you have.

I am the one who feeds the pigs and chickens at home every day, and I also discovered the sweet potatoes and acorns in the mountains.

Even the two little ones never shirk their housework, and they take better care of the rabbits than anyone else.

So brother, this family is not supported by you alone.

Don't put all the pressure on yourself, you have to learn to believe that we can do it.

Brother, once you have studied and gained abilities, you will be able to become our better support in the future.

We are all still young, and we have plenty of time to wait for you to grow strong enough.

Brother, we are your family, we don’t need you to sacrifice for us, we just hope you can get better.”

Zheng Qingming raised his hands to cover his eyes, too sad to utter a word.

Zhou Chunfeng wiped the tears from her face with the back of her hand, feeling very sad.

Zheng Dashan looked up at the ceiling, his hands clenched into fists.

Zheng Xiaoman squatted in front of her brother, reached out and hugged him gently.

"Brother, I'm still waiting for you to pass the imperial examination and become a scholar. Then I will be the scholar's biological sister, and no one will dare to call me ugly in front of me anymore."

"Okay, I'll go to school and I'll definitely help you pass the exam and become a scholar."

Zheng Qingming wiped his eyes vigorously with his sleeve. He would study hard and become a support for his younger brothers and sisters in the future.

"Sister, I will study hard too. When I pass the imperial examination and become the top scholar, no one will dare to bully you anymore."

Lixia also rushed over and hugged Zheng Xiaoman, and made a promise to her sister.

"Hahaha, great. By then my elder brother will be a scholar and my younger brother will be the top scholar. Then I can walk around the village with my head held high."

Chun Ya looked at her sister in confusion, "Sister, why are you walking sideways?"

"Because I'm arrogant."

Chun Ya blinked her big eyes. Although she didn't understand what arrogance meant, she felt that it was quite great.

Zheng Qingming was amused by his younger brothers and sisters, and the decision to study was made.

After breakfast the next day, Zheng Qingming took Lixia to the village chief's house to talk about school.

When he walked to the door of Yang's house, he happened to meet the two brothers of Yang family coming out of the yard.

"Shuhuai, are you going out?" Zheng Qingming was the first to greet them.

Yang Shuhuai nodded, "I'm going to the village, what about you guys?"

"We also want to go to the village, let's go together."

"it is good."

So the two-person group became a four-person group, with Zheng Qingming and Yang Shuhuai walking in front and the two younger ones walking behind them.

Yang Shuhuai's younger brother is Yang Shuxing, who is one year older than Lixia.

"Lixia, what are you going to the village for?" Yang Shuxing looked at Lixia and asked curiously.

"My brother and I are going to the village chief's house." Lixia looked at Yang Shuxing. Why is this boy's face so pale?

"You guys are going to the village chief's house too? My brother and I are going to the village chief's house too. Are you guys going to talk about going to the academy too?"

"Yes, are you and your brother going to school too?"

Yang Shuxing nodded, "Yes, my brother and I are going to the academy too."

"Oh, that's a coincidence, then we can go to school together in the future."

Lixia was very surprised. She didn't expect to find a study partner so quickly.

Yang Shuxing was also very happy. He seldom left the yard due to his poor health, so he didn't have many friends.

After hearing what the two little ones said, Yang Shuhuai looked at Zheng Qingming in surprise, "Qingming, why do you want to study?"

Zheng Qingming never went to school in his previous life, and even Lixia in his family didn't go to school either.

Zheng Qingming smiled a little embarrassedly, "My sister wants me to go to school. She said that I can learn a lot from reading."

Yang Shuhuai smiled. It turned out to be that little girl again.

The little girl did not die early like in her previous life, but she changed the fate of the entire Zheng family.

In the life in which Zheng Xiaoman did not reincarnate, Zheng Dashan hanged himself at home a few days after her death.

Zhou Chunfeng was so devastated that she fell ill and followed him the following year.

Zheng Qingming was the only one left at home living with his two younger siblings, but the fate of the three of them was not good either, some died and some were disabled.

But looking at their lives now, it is completely different from their previous life.

He liked Zheng Laoer's family very much, and was happy for them to see that they had changed their destiny.
