After returning home, Li Xi didn't mention Mrs. Liu again, and neither did Hu Zi. He just felt depressed for several days.
Li Xi no longer paid attention to Lady Liu's affairs. She had originally planned to purchase medicinal materials for reselling, but now that she had Gu Yin as a partner, she was no longer in a hurry to start a medicinal business.
After all, this matter is not easy to do, and she is not short of money now. Five hundred taels of silver is enough for her and Huzi to use for a long time. After Gu Yin returns and their cooperation expands, she will continue to receive large sums of money.
Now that he had money and leisure, Li Xi planned to send Huzi to school. Li Xi didn't know much about going to school, so he specially picked up things and took Huzi to Li Changqing's house.
As soon as Li Xi knocked on the door of Li Changqing's house, the door was opened from the inside.
A seven or eight-year-old kid with boyish hair opened the door, "Who are you?"
Dong Fengxia heard the voice and came over, "Isn't this Da Ya? Come in quickly."
She welcomed Li Xi in and said, "This is our family's Shuwen, Shuwen, these are elder sister Daya and younger brother Huzi."
Li Shuwen cupped his hands and said, "Sister Daya, brother Huzi."
"Auntie, Shuwen's gentle appearance is different from the children in the village. He is indeed the only one in our village who has attended a private school." Li Xi said with a smile.
Li Shuwen was Dong Fengxia's youngest son, and he was always his favorite. Hearing Li Xi say this, I couldn't be happier.
It's a coincidence that Li Shuwen's private school is in Jiangning City. He doesn't have enough time to travel back and forth, so he lives in the private school every day. Today, he is at home just in time for the monthly holiday of the private school.
Dong Fengxia pulled Li Xi into the house and told Li Shuwen as she walked, "Shuwen, go and warm up your book. I'll talk to your eldest sister."
Huzi was led into the house by Li Xi. As he walked in, he couldn't help but look back at Li Shuwen. He only looked back when he saw him entering the house.
In the room, Li Changqing was sitting with Ma Zha repairing the table. When he saw them coming in, he put away his things and asked, "Here comes Da Ya."
Li Xi put the oil paper bag he was holding on the table, "This is brown sugar. It tastes best when soaked in water."
Dong Fengxia frowned, picked up the oil paper bag and stuffed it into Li Xi's hand, "What are you doing? You and Huzi are still young, take it back and drink it yourself."
Li Changqing also meant the same thing, "The relationship between me and your father is here. If you have anything to do, just say it and there will be no need for anything."
Li Xi put the things on the table again, "Huzi and I brought these specially for Uncle Changqing and Auntie Changqing, and they are not expensive things.
If you don't accept it, I won't know what to say. "
"What on earth is going on?" Li Changqing frowned when he heard what she said. Could it be that Ma Laoer's family was causing trouble again?
"I want to send Huzi to school, so I wanted to ask my uncle what the regulations are."
"Go to school?!"
Li Changqing and Dong Fengxia looked at Huzi next to Li Xi in surprise. Huzi, who was already five years old due to malnutrition, looked like he was only three or four years old.
"Going to school requires a lot of money. Does your mother know about this?" Dong Fengxia asked.
There is a reason for her to say this. To go to a private school, you have to pay for the training. It is given once every quarter on the 15th day of the second lunar month. Think about it, it is one tael of silver a year. This does not include the money to buy pens, inks, paper, inkstones and books. You still need to prepare them yourself. Student uniform.
Their family has a lot of land, and their eldest son is a carpenter. The income after a year is actually pretty good, and he is considered to be the first family in the village. However, because there is a student in the family who is studying in a private school, life is miserable. , I have to grit my teeth even to eat meat.
Li Xi: "Auntie, you also know her temperament. I am the one who makes the final decision on our family's affairs now. Hu Zi is still young and can't help much at home. It's better to send him to school."
My father has been teaching me and Huzi how to read while he was alive. I think this is what he hoped. "
Dong Fengxia patted Li Xi's shoulder distressedly, saying that it was really hard for this girl to have a mother who couldn't stand the trouble. She had to shoulder the responsibility of a family at such a young age.
Li Changqing sighed and said, "In that case, let Huzi go. It was your father who told me to send Shuwen to the private school. He must have wanted his son to go too."
"Shu Wen and the others have just started school. It's good to send Hu Zi now. There won't be many classes left." Dong Fengxia touched Hu Zi's head, "Hu Zi will go to school soon, aren't you happy? "
Huzi put a sticker on Li Xi, "Happy," he looked up at Li Xi and said, "Sister, I will study hard."
Go to school well and support your sister in her old age. He remembered it all.
Li Xi found out clearly what he needed to prepare to register for the private school, and then took Hu Zi home.
Some people say that money cannot solve all problems, but most of the time money can solve 90% of the problems.
Li Xi was not worried about fixing the repairs and buying student uniforms. This was the best thing to solve, as long as she had money, which happened to be what she had.
But the problem is that the private school is in Jiangning City. It is obviously unrealistic to run back and forth every day, but what if Huzi is allowed to live on campus?
Li Xi glanced at the little Hu Zi. He was still so young, so he felt uneasy.
How about going to study with me by yourself? There is nothing to do now.
The more Li Xi thought about it, the more he felt that this idea was good. After he sent Huzi to school, people in the village would already guess that he had money, and he would be like a child holding money to get through the busy market.
Regardless of the fact that he scared many people with his knife at that time, by that time, all the monsters and monsters would definitely come out.
It's not that Li Xi has no way to deal with them, but if she has Plan B, why would she bother.
If they move to the city, no one will know their details, and it will be more convenient no matter what they do.
On the way back, Li Xi met many people. Everyone looked at her strangely. Li Xi frowned, what's going on?
"Da Ya, that bitch of your mother has remarried?!" Mrs. Li rushed over with a face full of anger. At this moment, she had forgotten the fear that Li Xi had brought her before.
Li Xi was not surprised when she heard this. Instead, she felt like the dust had settled. She felt Huzi holding her hand tightly.
"Does it have anything to do with you?" Li Xi looked at Granny Li indifferently.
Mrs. Li was so angry with her attitude that she was angry not that Mrs. Liu had remarried, but that the gift for Mrs. Liu's remarriage had not been received by her.
"Did that old bitch of your grandma instigate you? It must be her. What the hell, she's so embarrassed to pimp her own daughter!
No, we can't just let it go like this. Your mother is the daughter-in-law of our Li family. You can't just follow someone else without knowing it! " Mrs. Liu's eyes were gleaming. No matter what, she had to get back the gift money.
