Chapter 262: Ye Lulu Wants to Do Business Too

“Then wouldn’t it cost a lot of money since we have so many children?”

“Food and drinks, clothes and shoes. The only girl in our family is even more precious. What about jewelry and fabric? The children eat a lot as well. Furthermore, if our family has the ability, should we let the children study?”

“Study… study?” Mother Rong was shocked and her entire body trembled.

She had never thought of this term that no one in the rural mountains would dare to think of.

Ye Lulu lowered her voice. “Yes, why not? Mother didn’t expect this only because there are no children from other families studying in this village. There have always been few scholars in our Yuan City as well. However, this is because most farmers don’t have any spare money. Our family earns enough money from doing business, so why can’t we let the children study? Damao, Ermao, and the rest are already at the age of learning.”

Mother Rong was shocked.

“It’s always good to study. Mother, as long as it’s possible, we can do it. There’s no need to be afraid because the people nearby aren’t doing this. Our family does business, and there’s no one in our surroundings who does it. Didn’t we do it still and earn money?”

“Mother, don’t be afraid to think about it. As long as it’s possible, we can let the children at home study. If they can study well, even if they manage to pass the examinations only at a county level, that would be glorious. Even if they can’t study well, the children will be able to read and count. In the future, it will be easier for them to find work and they won’t be cheated when they go out. There are benefits to everything.”

Mother Rong’s heart pounded crazily and she became much slower. She looked at Ye Lulu and said, “Should we… really let them study?”

“Why not? Buy paper, pens, poems, and books so that the children can copy and write them first before finding a teacher. That’s right. Our family has to go up and down the mountain every day since we have to set up a stall. Won’t it be fine if we bring the children along?”

Mother Rong could not take it anymore. The word ‘study’ was sacred and noble. Just the thought of it made her feel like she was about to faint.

When Ye Lulu saw that she had hit the nail on the head, she continued to persuade her, “Mother, that’s how it is. This business at home can be done well if you and sisters-in-law work together. If I have the strength, why don’t I go out and do another business? The docks are so big, so isn’t it good for our two businesses to earn money from both sides?”

The thing that really moved Mother Rong was the studies. Moreover, Ye Lulu was right. Although the stall at home was earning a lot of money now, the Guan family had too many children.

Although they earned a lot, money was like flowing water. It was very difficult to save money.

Thinking afar, it was really not enough.

“Moreover, Chibei also wants to study.” Ye Lulu suddenly added.

“Ah? Chibei wants to study as well?!” Mother Rong did not know at all and asked in shock.

“Yes, he has already bought books. He has been reading at home during winter for many days.” Ye Lulu mentioned Guan Chibei calmly.

“I was the one who asked him to buy the books. Although Chibei is already a father, he’s not very old. If he has the brains to study, let him do it. If he can’t study, he can at least be literate. Chibei can teach our three babies when they grow up in the future.”

“It’s ultimately a good thing.”

Mother Rong did not know about this at all, let alone that Chibei had already started reading! She had suffered a huge blow and could not tell if she was more happy or surprised.

“Then… our family doesn’t have enough hands… If you want to do another business, how can you do it…” Mother Rong said hesitantly and worriedly, but she had already let go.
