Aunt Niu was about to go out with a basket of eggs when she met Xia Yingying who came to visit her at the door.

"Yingying, why are you here? I was just about to bring you some eggs." Aunt Niu said in surprise.

During this period, Xia Yingying made pastries every day, and almost all the eggs in the village were used up by Xia Yingying, and there were no extra eggs in the village.

Aunt Niu was just worrying about where to find eggs. Coincidentally, the eldest daughter-in-law's family came today and brought a basket of eggs. She was just about to give it to Xia Yingying.

Xia Yingying took the basket of eggs and said, "Thank you, Aunt Niu."

Aunt Niu asked Xia Yingying why she came to see her, and Xia Yingying explained her purpose.

Aunt Niu nodded and said, "I don't know anything about giving gifts to teachers. Damao's parents sent him to school. You have to ask Damao's parents about this. I'll take you to find them."

After saying that, Aunt Niu took Xia Yingying's wrist and walked towards Niu Dalang's room.

"Da Lang, tell Yingying what gift you gave Mr. Tang when you sent Damao to school?"

"Sister Yingying, are you going to send your eldest son to school?" Niu Dalang asked in surprise.

Everyone in the village knows that Xia Yingying has squandered all the family's money since the news of Lu Ziren's death. She only changed her mind a little after the news of selling the child broke out last time. He heard from his mother that Xia Yingying is making money by selling cakes again. Her business is good and she can sell a lot, but can she really afford Lu Haoran's tuition with the money she makes from selling cakes?

The cost of a child’s schooling for one year is equivalent to two or three years’ income of an average family.

He worked as an escort for the escort agency and was basically out all year round. This autumn he stayed at home to help with the autumn harvest, and then he would go out to escort again after the harvest. The money from escorting plus the money from his wife's work in the restaurant were enough to support Damao's schooling.

Xia Yingying only had the money from selling cakes, and she had only been selling them for a short time, so how could she afford to support Lu Haoran's school expenses for a year?

Although he was still confused, Niu Dalang explained, "When the private school was recruiting students, my family prepared celery, longan, red dates, red beans, lotus seeds and dried lean meat strips. These things don't cost much. When the time comes, you can go to the dry goods store and tell the boss, and he will pack them for you. It's not that troublesome."

Xia Yingying nodded and thanked him.

Niu Dalang: "Sister Yingying, I remember your eldest brother was a disciple at the academy before and has already given a tuition gift. This time he is going back to school, so there is no need to give another one. Master Tang will not accept it."

"Thank you, Brother Niu. I already know about it. I am also going to send my second child to school this time, so I still need to prepare one."

Do you still have to send the second child to school?

Aunt Niu, Niu Dalang and his wife in the room were all stunned.

If I remember correctly, the second child is a girl.

In rural families, sending a child to school means the whole family has put in a lot of effort.

Xia Yingying only made a little money by selling cakes. Sending the eldest child to school was already a huge effort in their eyes, but she even wanted to send the second child, a girl, to school as well.

Not to mention the high tuition fees for the two children, Xia Yingying’s pastry stall may not be able to afford it.

The second child is a girl and will get married in the future.

Even if she had good grades, she couldn't take the exam to become an official, so why bother to support her studies? Did Xia Yingying become stupid because of making too much money? Was she just bored?

"Yingying, your family has to send two children to school at once. Can the money from selling cakes support you?" Aunt Niu couldn't help asking, and at the same time reminded Xia Yingying to know her own weight and not to have unrealistic dreams.

Xia Yingying nodded. She knew what Aunt Niu was thinking, so she said, "Aunt Niu, Brother Niu and Sister-in-law, don't worry. I still have some money that Lu Ziren left for me. I can send all the children to school smoothly. This is what he told me before he left home."

Xia Yingying didn't dare to say that the money for her two children's schooling was earned from selling cakes, otherwise she would be hated to death.

Aunt Niu nodded in sudden realization, and then asked in confusion: "Since you have money to send the children to school, why did you call Haoran back when he was studying well in the academy?"

Xia Yingying's thoughts raced as she thought of a foolproof answer: "After Lu Ziren got into trouble, I was panicked and in a bad mental state, so I did something stupid."

Xia Yingying attributed the wrong things done by the original owner to her deep love for Lu Ziren, and was exhausted when she learned of the sad news of his death. This not only established a sentimental personality for herself, but also to a certain extent redeemed the vicious image of the original owner.

Aunt Niu nodded in sudden realization: "You can make cakes and sell them quite well. You will get along better and better with the children in the future."

No one else had any doubts.

When Lu Ziren just returned to the village, he paid for renovating the house, sent Lu Haoran to school, bought a lot of things for the family, and ate meat and fish every day, so it was not surprising that he had some savings.

Xia Yingying realized what she wanted, so she took the eggs and left: "Aunt Niu, I'll ask Haoran to bring the money later."

"Don't worry, I'll deliver it whenever it's convenient for you."

Xia Yingying had been out for a long time, and Lu Yuwei was standing at the door waiting for her.

When Xia Yingying came back, she saw Lu Yuwei pacing back and forth in front of the door, looking very anxious.

"Xiao Wei, who are you waiting for?"

"I...I'm waiting for my stepmother."

Xia Yingying was silent for a few breaths after hearing this: "What's wrong?"

"Stepmother, the scar on my face..."

Lu Yuwei was afraid that Xia Yingying would hear from Qin Qingfeng that she had lied to her. She was anxious all night and finally mustered up the courage to tell her the truth, but she was afraid that Xia Yingying would hate her after knowing the truth, so she was extremely uneasy.

"You're finally back. How about it? When will my bed be ready?" Qin Qingfeng interrupted her at the right time.

"Don't worry, Doctor Qin. The bed I promised you will arrive tomorrow. You will have to make do with it today."

"That was great. It's getting late, I'm going to take a shower and go to bed, you guys can do as you please." Qin Qingfeng put his hands behind his back and walked away.

"What did you want to say just now?" Xia Yingying asked Lu Yuwei.

"No, nothing..." Lu Yuwei didn't dare to say anything now, and her fingers repeatedly pinched the porcelain bottle in her arms.

"Are you afraid that you will be the only girl in school?" Xia Yingying looked at Lu Yuwei's timid look and couldn't help but comfort her.

Lu Yuwei lowered her head and said nothing.

Xia Yingying assumed that she was scared and continued.

“Even if you are the only female student in the private school, you don’t have to be afraid. Is it a law or some saint who said that women cannot go to school and are inferior to men?

Generally speaking, the person who says this must have something wrong with his brain.

Shangguan Wan'er, who was known as the female prime minister, was a woman; Xie Daoyuan, who was talented in writing poems about catkins, was also a woman; Bao Gu, who had outstanding medical skills, was also a woman; and Hua Mulan, who joined the army for her father, was also a woman.

Women can also go on the battlefield to kill enemies, save the dying and the wounded, support the country, and enjoy fame in the literary world.

This shows that men and women are the same. Those men who say that women cannot step out of their boudoirs and must get married are all idiots. They are afraid that women will be more powerful than them.

The day after tomorrow your elder brother will go to a private school and I will take you there. Don't worry, if Master Tang doesn't accept you, then you can study medicine with Doctor Qin first. When I save enough money, I will take you to the county town. There will definitely be a master who accepts girls there."
