Chapter 611: Chapter 611: A Chaotic Mess

As a result of their long-standing family idiosyncrasies and being always stuck between high and low ranks, they naturally remained idle at home, living off their inheritance and selling ancestral property to make ends meet.

Seeing the family’s wealth dwindling, the clan leader was naturally anxious. When someone mentioned the matter of the academy, it piqued the interest of the elder clan leader.

If their Liu Family could serve as teachers in the academy, then at least they would not have to worry about their clan members continuing to eat away at their resources. Wouldn’t this ensure the prosperity of the Liu Family?

As soon as the clan leader brought up the topic, Liu Sisi knew what was on his mind.

“Lord Clan Leader is indeed well-informed. This matter is indeed being handled by me. However, since giving birth, I have left this matter to my husband. I honestly have no idea how this matter is progressing.”

“It doesn’t matter, it doesn’t matter! Isn’t it said that the academy has not yet been completed, and it is still early? The niece can ask when she goes back.”

The clan leader waved his hand nonchalantly, “There are many students and Cultivated Talents in our Liu Family who are idle at home. Isn’t your father also a Cultivated Talent? If he were to go to the academy, he would be able to help you too.”

What a shrewd calculation by the clan leader! A flash appeared in Liu Sisi’s eyes.

Once the academy was established and the teachers came from the Liu Family, the latter generations attending the academy would naturally be exempt from tuition fees.

“Lord Clan Leader, I am just a woman from a humble background, and I don’t know or care about my husband’s affairs. So… I honestly don’t know about this matter.”

Liu Sisi said with an apologetic smile.

The Clan Leader was still all smiles, unable to resist praising Liu Sisi: “It’s fine, it’s fine! As the niece who is helping Lord Captain manage the backyard, you are already working very hard. However, Sisi! People always say that when a woman marries, she cannot ignore the support of her family, right?”

“Since ancient times, it’s been said that those who can support a boat can also capsize it, and with rising water, the boat rises as well. If our Liu Family prospers, then even if your grandson-in-law achieves great success, there will be many social interactions between men. As a niece, you must be unyielding in the backyard, and the help of your family cannot be underestimated, right? Moreover, are the positions for teachers in the academy already filled?”

The Clan Leader was hinting that in the future, with people entering Di Yelei’s backyard, what she could rely on was the power of her family. Liu Sisi’s mouth curled up with a mocking expression, full of ridicule!

Even if she wanted to rely on her family’s support, they would need to provide support for her! Furthermore, if there were really more people entering Di Yelei’s backyard, what she needed to do wouldn’t be as simple as depending on her family.

If that day ever came, she would directly castrate him and see how he dared to mess around outside!

Just as she was about to speak, the room door opened.

The main entrance was quietly pushed open, Little Treasure carefully squeezed through the door gap, and before anyone could notice, he climbed onto the table and quickly grabbed the pastries on the plate. When the plate was empty and no more pastries could fit in his pocket, he still tried to cram them in without giving up.

A look of pity flashed in Liu Sisi’s eyes. This child had learned from his mother, but after all these years had not developed any depth. Considering his temperament, he was a lost cause.

The clan leader’s face changed as well! At this critical moment in the conversation, what did this child’s intrusion mean? He couldn’t help but scold Liu Quan in a low voice.

“You… how do you discipline your child? Hurry up and take him away!” This was really outrageous!

Liu Quan, who had been sitting quietly to the side, also looked very unhappy. How did Little Treasure get in during this important discussion?
