Farmer’s Little Girl

  Chapter 17 Uncommon Knowledge

Feng and Man Bao said: "This man can work as a bookkeeper or a teacher. If he learns well, he might even go to the examiner. But what is the use of a woman studying? Going to the land means doing housework at home. What does it matter if you study?"

  Man Bao was speechless, but she always felt that Ersao was wrong.

  Thinking about it, she finally found a refuting opinion, "Mr. said, reading is reasonable."

Feng Family: "Well, just talk about it and you will understand it, sister-in-law, don't worry, I will tell Erya, look at us, don’t you know how to read? Who doesn’t understand the truth? Girls learn the truth from their mothers. ."

  Man Bao said that she couldn't help but slammed down his shoulders and said, "Does that mean that Erya can make money by recognizing characters, so you agree to Erya?"

  Feng: "She can't be a bookkeeper, nor can she be a teacher, let alone an examiner. How can she make money by literacy?"

   "I don't care. Second sister-in-law, you must agree to me first. If she can make money by recognizing characters, you must promise her to study and read characters with me."

   "Go, go," Feng said perfunctorily: "I promise you, okay, I'm going to start a fire, there is a lot of smoke in the kitchen, you go out quickly."

  Man Bao didn't care if she was sincere, only when she agreed, so Man Bao ran to find Erya.

   Ertou looked for the manuscript and found that my sister-in-law was missing. He immediately left the manuscript and went to see my sister-in-law. He was responsible for taking care of my sister-in-law. How could he lose her?

  Man Bao ran to the river to find Erya.

A group of people were gathering by the river to wash clothes. As soon as Man Bao ran over, everyone greeted her, and a woman said in a loud voice: "Oh, Man Bao is here to do the laundry. You have so many girls in the Zhou family, how can you pay for it? Sister-in-law?"

   Erya also saw Man Bao, and quickly stopped her not to get too close to the river, "Sister, why did you come here? I won’t give you milk to the river."

  Man Bao said: "I'm here to find you."

   "I still need to wash my clothes. Sister, please go back first."

   Still the woman said: "Man Bao, you also help your niece, you are not too young, your family is now struggling again, but you can no longer enjoy the same blessings as before."

  Man Bao felt that what she said was reasonable, and nodded again and again: "My nephew and daughter-in-law are right, I will help Erya."

  Just in time, she also wants to try washing clothes. She hasn't washed her clothes when she grows up. Man Bao looked at the river, her eyes lit up, and she had forgotten her purpose of coming here.

  How can Erya dare to let Manbao wash the clothes, she couldn't help but stared at the woman, "Sansister, there are so many children in my family, who washes the clothes and who doesn’t wash the clothes is what matters to you?"

   "Yeah, Erya, this Nizi is also hardened. I learned from your uncle? Don’t borrow money from my family if I’m so hard on."

  Man Bao was taken aback and suddenly realized that he hurriedly went to comfort her, "Sanzhu daughter-in-law, is it because your family is short of money to spend, 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 make money tomorrow, she patted her chest confidently and said, "Tomorrow I will go to the county town to make money, and I will return it to your home when I come back."

A few-year-old child who is still milky and milky, but learns to speak from adults, the first sentence makes people laugh, but when it comes to the last sentence, everyone can’t laugh. Some people can’t help but ask Erya, “Erya, your family Wouldn't you really want to sell your sister-in-law?"

   Er Ya pointedly said: "What are you talking nonsense, how can our family sell sister-in-law?"

  Man Bao also solemnly said: "Our family does not sell children."

  "Well, how do you make money at this moment?" The wife of Sanzhu couldn't help but said, "The busy farming is gone, and there is no work in the fields. Why can't the work in the county be out of your turn?"

  Man Bao proudly said: "We are going to sell flowers, you can wait, we will definitely be able to make money."

  Samju's wife asked, "What flower?"

  Man Bao opened his mouth, and finally said: "Various flowers."

   Er Ya held Man Bao and said, "Sister, you go home, I will take you to play after I wash the clothes?"

  Man Bao shook his head and looked at the clear river with piercing eyes, "No, Er Ya, I am an adult, let me wash your clothes."

   "How can that work?"

   "Why not?" Man Bao said solemnly: "I am your aunt, you have to listen to me."

  Seeing everyone, they helped Erya stop Manbao. Who didn’t know that she was Zhou’s baby? Moreover, they have been in poor health since they were young.

  Sanzhu's wife didn’t think so. No one came here when she was a child. When she was like this, she could even cook her food and just wash her clothes. What’s so strange?

  She rolled her eyes and gave a step, let Man Bao squat next to her, took her own clothes, and said, "Come Man Bao, I will teach you to wash it."

Man Bao is not stupid, her own clothes can still be distinguished from others' clothes, so she asked Samju's daughter-in-law especially happily, "Niece-in-law, do I get paid for washing your clothes? You don't have to pay me. Just pay the debt directly."

  Wife-in-law of Sanzhu heard the words and immediately took the clothes back, and said sharply: "I have seen it, you can really make money. I have never heard that you need money to wash a piece of clothing."

"If you are my aunt or my elder, I certainly don't want it. I honor you, but aren't you my nephew and daughter-in-law? Then my elders will work for you, of course, you have to ask for money," Man Bao grew up. Following her father, she understands the truth very well. She still wants to wash the clothes for Sanzhu's wife, saying: "Sanzhu's wife, don't worry, I don't want you too much, I just need a penny, just what I mean."

  The people who could not understand Sanzhu's wife also smiled and said, "Yes, yes, Sanzhu's wife, Manbao, but your aunt, let your aunt wash your clothes, so you have to give you some money for filial piety."

   Some older people also said: "Although Man Bao is young, she has a high seniority, Sanzhu's wife, don't bully your elders."

  The wife of Sanzhu was so angry that she simply overwhelmed her clothes, twisted them and left.

  Man Bao was still waving from behind, "Nephew, if you don’t want to wash your clothes next time, tell me, I’ll do it for you. It’s really cheap."

   Er Ya couldn't help but be happy, and also shouted at the end, "Sister-in-law, I can also help you wash it, it's cheaper!"

   "Okay, okay, don't tease her, Erya, your family still owes the village chief's money." Someone advised.

   Erya feels a little lost thinking about this.

Man Bao does not feel pressured. In her opinion, going to the county town tomorrow will definitely be able to make a lot of money. Naturally, she can pay off her debts. Moreover, "The village chief is different from his daughter-in-law. He is generous, nephew and daughter-in-law. There is still something to learn."

  When everyone heard Man Bao’s words, they couldn’t help but laugh, “This kid speaks like an adult. Do you know what atmosphere is?”

  Man Bao said with a puffed face: "I'm not stupid, my nephew and daughter-in-law don't like me, but it doesn't matter, I am an elder, and I don't know her in general."

  The child is the most sensitive. Who likes her and who doesn't like her, she feels very clear.

  But it doesn’t matter, who made Sanzhu her nephew and Sanzhu’s daughter-in-law to be her nephew. As an elder, she would not have the same knowledge as them.
