Chapter 255: Chapter 253: Shameless Old Man Li, Mighty Miao Cuihua

Meanwhile, Ying’er and Xuan’er had already taken the opportunity to run off to play with their new gloves.

“Hey! Although you can’t make clothes, you can read and write, and even be a role model for others. You can be a female tutor for Miss Gan. Miss Gan is a genuine noble miss, not one of those random people.” Guihua said with a face full of pride.

Guihua’s words immediately resonated with everyone.

“Isn’t that so! Being a female tutor for Miss Gan is no ordinary task. Third Son Di’s wife, you’ve finally made it.”

“That’s right. Last time, I said I wanted my Niuniu to learn from you, but I’ve seen no progress. When will you start your private school?”

“Count my family’s Lotus too! She can at least recognize a few characters, so she doesn’t become an uneducated woman in the future.”

“Yes, yes, yes, when will you start, Third Son Di’s wife?”

With everyone talking at the same time, Liu Sisi couldn’t get a word in edgewise. Finally finding a brief moment of respite, she managed to divulge her plans.

“Actually, all of you have misunderstood. Sisi only knows a few more characters than you. Winter is coming, and if you all think highly of me, Liu Sisi, I will begin enrolling students, limited to girls only, aged between ten and fifteen years old. As for the education gift, you can follow the private school standard and give whatever you feel is appropriate.”

After saying this, her eyes swept over the faces of the crowd.

The local private schools typically charge ten strips of bacon a year, four seasons of clothing for the teacher, and one tael of silver per month.

Although Liu Sisi said “whatever you feel is appropriate,” her meaning was clear—it couldn’t be much less than the standard.

As soon as she finished speaking, the faces of the people around her soured.

It’s just one girl, and if they could send their daughters to learn a few characters at the cost of only three or five pounds of rice or noodles, they would happily use this opportunity during their free time in the farming season.

But private school tuition is expensive. Many people can’t even afford to send their sons to school, let alone their daughters.

“Hahaha! Listen, everyone, someone wants silver so badly that they’re here scamming us for food and drink. Don’t believe her!”

Suddenly, a piercing voice from the side attracted everyone’s attention.

Even if others had the same idea, they would keep their thoughts to themselves and only confide in others in private. Who would be so bold as to say it out loud?

But the newcomer didn’t seem to think that way, and seemed to want everyone to hear it. He shouted loudly, attracting the attention of everyone around.

Liu Sisi turned her head to see who it was and immediately burst into laughter!

“Old Man Li! You’ve been trying to discredit me every two or three days but considering that you’re alone and an old man taking care of a young man, I’ve been letting it go. But today you’re coming over of your own accord, do you not even want to save face?”

If it were someone else, it might be more justifiable. But Old Man Li…he’s simply not a good person!

Liu Sisi’s words made the surrounding people laugh as well!

“Hey! Old Man Li! Last time, it was rumored that you found a pretty daughter-in-law to have a child for you, but there’s still no news about it now. Is it because your ‘thing’ doesn’t work anymore?”

The one shouting was none other than the plump Miao Cuihua.

Miao Cuihua was fat and tall, standing even slightly taller than the big Di Yelei. But she happened to have married a skinny and short husband.

Miao Cuihua could easily lift him with one hand.

Her shouting immediately caused everyone around to burst into laughter, and they all started teasing.

“Old Man Li, could it be that your thing really doesn’t work anymore?”
