Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“However, Qingxiang is very good at all kinds of things.” Ye Muyu expressed his attitude and changed the topic to Chu Qingxiang.
Madam Zhang was a smart person and naturally could tell that she did not care about this female art competition.
Why did she not care? It was because she had a good background, right?
Madam Zhang was envious again, but at the mention of her daughter, she instantly smiled. She knew that although Qingxiang was outstanding in everything, she could also win glory if she was in the top ten. At that time, Song Lu would definitely be more satisfied with Qingxiang.
Once Qingxiang married into the Song family, she would be like Madam Ye, a scholar’s wife.
Thinking of this, Madam Zhang was no longer envious. Instead, she exerted all her strength, planning to let Chu Qingxiang obtain a good ranking.
She had to marry into the Song family.
Madam Liu was not surprised at all when she heard Ye Muyu’s words. She knew Ye Muyu’s personality quite well. Just her confidence from the beginning to the end made Madam Liu think highly of her.
Everyone else was fighting for a small profit, but Madam Ye earned more than the reward.
Seeing that Madam Cao did not take the initiative to speak, Madam Liu naturally did not speak either.
As for Madam Wang, she was interested in the wasteland, but she was not confident that her daughter could get a good ranking. Therefore, she habitually thought about when it would end. She would go back to make pickled cabbages. When she sold them for money, it would be enough to prepare a dowry for her daughter.
Very soon, there were results of the discussion.
“It’s better to open a school. Whoever has good culinary skills can be a teacher.”
“If any girl wants to go to school, she needs to pay some tuition. How about that?” Madam Qian took the initiative to speak.
This was also what her family thought.
As for her sister-in-law, Madam Cao’s thoughts, it was not that she did not know. However, as long as it was beneficial to her, it was fine. Moreover, others might not think the same.
Since everyone had the same idea, someone had to say it.
She still had to go back and help cook. Ah Xing was very busy repairing the house.
When Madam Cao heard this, she pretended to smile, “What about the rest of you? Do you have the same thoughts as Fifth Sister-in-law?”
“That’s right, we all have the same idea. First Sister-in-law, you can arrange it. It’s too hard to build a school.” The second branch’s Madam Sun directly pushed the problem of choosing people as teachers to Madam Cao.
Madam Cao was the wife of the clan leader. Naturally, she should be the one to open a women’s school.
If someone else took over the job, it was inevitable that Madam Cao would be unhappy. Since that was the case, there was no one more suitable than Madam Cao.
Madam Cao was originally very happy, but Madam Sun’s words instantly made her eyes flash with anger. She did not want to solve this matter the most.
However, the others clearly had the same intention.
Madam Cao took a deep breath. She knew that she could not escape. She subconsciously looked at Madam Liu and Ye Muyu.
Madam Zheng saw her gaze and quickly smiled. “Mother, since this girls’ school has to have teachers, I wonder if there are any sisters-in-law or aunties who want to recommend themselves.”
“I’m afraid this teacher can only come from our own family. After all, other families will definitely only help their own family.”
“Eldest Ssister-in-law’s words are true. The others definitely don’t want to teach outsiders.” Speaking of which, if one wanted to learn these skills, they would need to pay a lot of money. There was no difference if they went to school.
After all, in this dynasty, those who did not have any skills could only depend on farming to live.. Who would not be envious of those who had skills?
