Since you want to do business, how can you do it if you are illiterate?
Sister Yuan said that the coming year would be bad, so she could stock up on food first and then take the opportunity to learn how to read.
When times improve and she becomes more literate, she can start her own business.
In the meantime, after her aunt and uncle came over, she would think about what to do better.
For now, let’s temporarily sell pancakes with Grandma Wang!
Mrs. Wang can send her son to school and her grandson to school, so she naturally has more knowledge than the ordinary old country woman.
When she heard Yan Jiao's words, she said with relief: "It's better to be more literate! Jiaojiao, don't look at me as I'm old, but I'm still literate. If you don't mind, I'll teach you first and then choose someone." , I will search for you again."
Yan Jiao really didn't know that Mrs. Wang could read. When she heard this, she couldn't help but be a little surprised: "Grandma Wang, are you literate?"
"Yes, I learned from my children and grandchildren. Not only can I write the names of the whole family, but I can also memorize some of the Three-Character Classic and Hundreds of Family Surnames."
Mrs. Wang said this with pride. When the second child was still alive, she successively gave Duo Zi, Rui Ziyuan Niang and others a few small enlightenments.
She has listened to it at home for so many years, so she naturally knows a lot about it.
And the reason why I can read is also because of my several children and grandchildren.
It's just that she didn't write with a pen seriously, she just made secret gestures with her fingers dipped in water.
However, she thought, as long as she recognized those things, it should be enough to teach Jiaojiao!
If it’s not enough, I’ll find someone to teach me when the time comes.
Yan Jiao was a little envious when she heard that even Mrs. Wang, who was in her sixties, could recognize so many characters and write so many people's names.
After hearing this, she immediately replied: "I don't mind, how could I mind. Grandma Wang, thank you, thank you for being willing to teach me."
When Mrs. Wang heard her promise, she was a little excited at the thought of being a wife.
However, her mind was still calm, so she immediately made a request: "Jiaojiao, please don't spread the word about me teaching you how to read, especially Yuan Niang and the others. After your house is packed up and moved there in a few days, I take the time to go over and teach you every day.”
Yan Jiao thought about it for a moment and understood why Mrs. Wang didn't let her talk to Li Yuan and the others, so she smiled and replied: "Okay, I won't tell! But Grandma Wang, since you taught me, then this Shu Xiu, you see How should I give it?”
Mrs. Wang was just about to say what she wanted to do when she heard Yan Jiao say, "You can't say no, or I'll find someone else."
Seeing that she was planning to be so formal, Mrs. Wang suddenly felt a little nervous.
But when I thought about not telling anyone about it, it was Yan Jiao who was teaching, and there was no scientific examination or anything, I felt relieved again.
"What do you think, our Shu Xiu will be settled in grain? Every month, just give me five kilograms of rice."
Yan Jiao: "..."
Five pounds of rice? Where can I get such cheap repairs?
"Grandma Wang, I guess you won't take the money I give you. In this way, I will give you ten kilograms of rice every month, and then buy you a set of clothes during the holidays. If others find it strange, I will say thank you for your support. In the most difficult time, you took me in and taught me, and I will respect and love you as my own grandma."
Mrs. Wang feels that it is a bit much to wear a full set of clothes during the New Year and festivals.
Not to mention the small festivals this year, there are three big ones, namely the Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival and Spring Festival.
It's equivalent to Yan Jiao needing at least three clothes. She is so old, how can she need so many?
Thinking of this, she decisively refused: "No clothes, just ten kilograms of rice a month!"
Ten kilograms of rice, replaced with broken rice, and some other things added to it, would be enough for her to eat for a month.
Yan Jiao knew that the other party was doing it for her own good. Because of this, she didn't want to take advantage, so she said: "Then I will give you twelve kilograms of rice a month, and then two sets of clothes a year. That's it, Grandma Wang, do you agree?" , then I will find someone else to teach me.”
To be honest, Mrs. Wang felt very happy after hearing Yan Jiao's sincere words.
It's not her business if she refuses, but it's Yan Jiao's business whether or how much she should give.
In short, in her opinion, this girl Yan Jiao is really good, that is to say, that boy from the Chen family is not lucky, there will be times when he will regret it in the future!

The trial of the Zhang family, Wu Yu'er and Gao Ningyao's son exchange and murder case started before the arrival of the third lady of the Zhenguo Hou Mansion.
The first trial was the child exchange case. Since there were two parties involved, Chen Wu and Chen Qingqing, everyone with eyes could see that Chen Qingqing looked like Mr. Zhang and Chen Wu looked like Mr. Chen, so the case was quickly closed.
This involved the murder of human lives. Perhaps Wu Yu'er thought that she was going to die and didn't want Mrs. Chen to stay out of the matter, so she bit her out too.
Because Mrs. Chen was sent away by Chen Miaomiao before, and now she had to be brought back, the case was not over on the first day of court, but had to wait until Mrs. Chen was brought before the trial could continue.
As for the Da Zhang family, she only participated in the exchange of sons and treated Chen Wu harshly, but she wanted to raise him up, so she could avoid the death penalty but not the living penalty.
The best sentence for her would be fifty canes and five years in prison.
When Chen Miaomiao heard that Da Zhang had only been sentenced to five years, she was so angry that she almost vomited blood.
She felt that her father was out of his mind, that's why he said something in public in court, saying that no matter what happened, Da Zhang would eventually raise Xiao Wu.
She knew that because of the previous quarrel, the old man was now confronting her.
If Xiao Wu hadn't been able to help him up, if her husband's family hadn't been far away in the capital, and it hadn't been long enough for her to be out, she really wanted to make her father lie in bed for the rest of his life, otherwise he would be angry to death sooner or later.
Thinking like this, she turned her eyes in a circle and quickly came to her mind.
After leaving the Yamen, she went back home, and then went straight to Li Yuan's house.
When she arrived, she brought the house deed with her, and happened to meet Yan Jiao at the door who had returned from selling cakes.
"Jiaojiao!"
Yan Jiao wanted to call her eldest sister, but when she thought of her current status, she pursed her lips and nodded to her.
Chen Miaomiao didn't care about her attitude, but looked her up and down. Seeing that her complexion was okay and she wasn't immersed in sadness, her eyes showed a bit of satisfaction.
She didn't bother to look for Li Yuan, but pulled Yan Jiao aside and whispered: "Jiaojiao, this is the house deed I will give you as compensation. In addition, I have something to discuss with you. Whether I agree or not depends mainly on you." , I will never force you."
Yan Jiao had a good impression of Chen Miaomiao, and the other party had given her the deed to the house before speaking, so she nodded: "Well, you tell me!"
Chen Miaomiao looked livid and said: "Today when the child exchange case was heard, my stupid father actually said that Da Zhang would raise Xiao Wu no matter what. I think he is old and should take good care of himself. And Xiao Wu, he can't help him up. If my father lies down, this family will probably be doomed."
When she said this, she pursed her lips and looked at Yan Jiao with particularly serious eyes.
"I wonder if you are willing to have a child with Xiao Wu, whether it is a boy or a girl! From now on, Xiao Wu will not have any more children, and the Chen family will not have any other children. This Chen family It will be inherited by your heirs in the future. Of course, I will let him grow up by your side and will not take him away from you."
