Farmer’s Stepmother’s Skillful Farming

Chapter 299 Useless

Hand cakes, rolled with eggs and tenderloin slices, served with a tender vegetable leaf, and cooked with fragrant red date rice porridge.

After the children had eaten and drank enough, Su Mulan sent Bai Shuiliu and three others to the clan school.

After all, it was the first day of school, and the carrot heads were a little embarrassed, so Su Mulan thought it would be better to give them a gift.

When they arrived at the clan school, other children had already arrived. Bai Xuewen saw the three of Bai Shuiliu and greeted them and arranged a place to sit.

They were all girls, so they lined up in a separate row. The three of them sat down separately from low to high. They also took out the extra sand table that had been prepared in the room for them to practice calligraphy.

Baishui Liu, Bai Lixia and Bai Zhuye were exposed to these things for the first time. They were quite novel and followed them one by one.

Seeing that nothing happened, Su Mulan asked about the time after school, and told the three carrot heads to go home after school, then took Bai Mi Dou to a shop in the town to buy pens, ink, paper, inkstones and other things.

After Su Mulan left, the children in the clan school began to whisper, pointing at Bai Shuiliu and the three sisters.

 “Tsk, the girl’s family also wants to come to study.”

“My mother said that girls don’t need to study, and it would be a waste of money to study. I don’t know what they are doing here.”

"That's not right. My father said that there is also a girls' school in the county, and girls' families can study."

“That’s right, my mother is literate, so how can we say that girls can’t study?”

“But in our village, there are no girls who come to study. Isn’t this a shame…”

The thoughts of the dozen or so children are roughly divided into two groups. One group thinks that it is possible to read, and the other group thinks that it is not possible to study. They originally said it secretly while Bai Xuewen was behind writing, but the more they spoke, the louder they became, almost There's going to be a quarrel.

"Why are you making such a noise?" Bai Xuewen lost his temper immediately when he saw the noise, "It's so noisy in class."

"Sir." Bai Tiezhu stood up, "They are arguing about whether the girl's family should come to study."

“Then do you think it should be done or not?” Bai Xuewen asked in return.

"This..." Bai Tiezhu scratched his head, "I don't know either. I think what they both said is quite reasonable..."

Bai Xuewen frowned, "Then sit down."

After a moment, he glanced around and said, "If you think you can read, stand up." Swish, swish, swish.

 Four or five children stood up.

“You guys sit down,” Bai Xuewen said. “If you think girls shouldn’t study, stand up.”

The remaining ones, except for the white iron pillars, all stood up, numbering seven or eight.

 In other words, there are more people who think that girls’ families should not study.

Bai Xuewen frowned, "Then tell me why girls shouldn't study?"

 “It’s useless to study at a girl’s house,” one of them said.

"Then what's the use of studying?" Bai Xuewen asked.

 “Men can take the exam for meritorious service.”

 “It’s the same as if you passed the exam.”

“At the worst, you can work as a bookkeeper, write letters for others, copy books and so on.”

“Anyone from a girl’s family can do this, and it doesn’t have to be a man.”

 “The girl’s family is going to get married after all…”

 “It’s just a marriage, but it’s not a dead person. It’s just a marriage, but it’s not a dead person.”

　　　…”

The child who was retorted by Bai Xuewen suddenly turned red and couldn't say a word, so he could only sit down silently.
