"Starting tomorrow, you'll be responsible for teaching the three little ones and Yang Dong how to read," Xiaoxiao said to Li Fugui. Since they had decided to stay in this family, they had to contribute. Otherwise, who would support him for nothing?
Yang Dong, feeling aggrieved upon hearing this arrangement, asked, "Third sister-in-law, I have to learn from him?" He could tolerate living under the same roof, but if the man became a teacher, wouldn't he have to defer to him at every turn? He felt like his status would be lowered. After all, being a teacher was a distinguished role.
"What? A free teacher, if you don't use it, you waste it. Do you really want to go to town and give your silver to someone else?"
"Then I'll learn from him," Yang Dong quickly agreed at the mention of silver. If they all went to town to study, that would cost so much silver. Third sister-in-law was right; free things should not be wasted, especially when he was eating their food.
