Mrs. Qin did not object to the children going to school, because she knew that education was the only way out. She used to be a young lady from a landlord's family, so she knew what education meant to the poor. Therefore, even though her younger son's family was struggling, she never asked them to have the children quit school.
Originally, she thought Xiao Yu and Qin Xue would continue to study, so Lele might quit school. But she never expected that the brother and sister would give the opportunity to their younger sister, and even the stubborn Xue did so. Thus, Mrs. Qin felt relieved, as if she hadn't raised the two children in vain. Now that her son and daughter-in-law had started their own business, the good days seemed to be coming, and she felt more at ease. So when the day came that she passed away, there would be no need to worry about whether they would be able to get by.
