Quick Transmigration: The Mad Host's Smile Reveals Unpredictable Fate

Chapter 157 The Old Lady with Misunderstandings Argues with Heaven, Earth, and Even the Air (2)

Wan Youcai had no way to solve the problem.

If I speak too softly, my mother won't hear me.

If I speak too loudly, my mother will complain that it's too loud for her ears.

Su Dingding glanced at Wan Youcai with annoyance, sat down on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed), and pulled Wan Yan to sit down next to her.

"Yan'er started school at nine years old and hasn't even finished fourth grade yet, and you're already making her work? Does the family need her as a source of labor?"

Su Dingding spoke slowly but very seriously.

Wan Youcai felt inexplicably panicked. His mother usually didn't ask about anything at home, so what was wrong with her today?

"mother……"

"If there's a shortage of labor, I'll fill in," Su Dingding suddenly jumped up, picked up the hoe placed by the door, and said, "I'll go cut the grass right now!"

The frail old woman, with her back hunched, startled everyone with her jump.

Wang Yuping hurriedly came over to support Su Dingding, "Mom, don't hurt your back. We just feel that it's really not useful for girls to go to school. Besides, Wanbin will need a lot of money for school and marriage in the future. Yan'er is the older sister, so she has to think more about her younger brother..."

“That’s right,” Su Dingding put down the hoe, grasped Wang Yuping’s hand, and rubbed it repeatedly. “My daughter-in-law is right. Both are my flesh and blood. My daughter was also carried for ten months and gave birth to me. Our Wan family’s children not only have to go to primary school, middle school, and high school, but also have to go to university…”

Wang Yuping looked at the old lady in front of her with a puzzled expression. They were not talking about the same thing!

"Mother!" Wan Youcai panicked and had to use his eldest sister to pressure her, "This was my eldest sister's idea, to save the money for your grandson's wedding!"

Su Dingding was a little displeased. She had already said so much, yet she was still so stubborn.

Go back to your older sister's idea!

Even Wan Lijuan has to call her "Mother," is she trying to rebel?

"You child, you insist on this democratic stuff. Fine, then let's vote!" Su Dingding asked, tapping his pipe. "Raise your hand if you agree that Yan'er should continue her schooling!"

Only she and Wan Yan raised their hands.

"The majority must submit to the minority, that's how it is." Su Dingding said confidently.

"mother!"

Wan Youcai was clearly angry. He snatched the schoolbag from Wan Yan's hand and threw it on the ground.

Caught off guard, Wan Yan was nearly pulled to the ground and started crying in distress.

Su Dingding raised his pipe and hit Wan Youcai, saying, "I'm still breathing, do you think I'm dead?!"

"Mother, don't get involved in this!" Wan Youcai was determined and wouldn't compromise even if he was beaten.

rigid!

You really can't think straight!

Su Dingding was furious and shouted, "If you don't let the child go to school now, the child won't visit your grave when you die!"

“I have a son…” Wan Youcai could still laugh.

“I won’t visit your grave either!” Wan Bin, who had been standing to the side, suddenly said.

He is eight years old and in first grade.

The little boy was raised by his older sister from a young age, and the two siblings have a very close relationship.

Despite his young age, he has always been very protective of his older sister.

However, after the older sister dropped out of school in her previous life, the relationship between the siblings gradually became distant.

Upon hearing his words, Wan Youcai's defenses crumbled.

"You brat, say that again?"

He raised his shoe to hit Wan Bin, but Wan Yan hurriedly stepped forward to protect her brother, and Wan Bin also ran away in fright.

"Hey, you've really made something of yourself, learning to hit your child now, huh?" Su Dingding jumped three feet high again, raising his pipe and puffing at Wan Youcai.

"I didn't hit the child, Mom, the child made me angry!" Wan Youcai was at his wit's end.

I've lived all these years and I've never hit them, but today they're acting like completely different people!

Gangzi, inside his mind, covered his mouth and chuckled.

This is a classic case of "the magistrate is allowed to set fires, but the common people are forbidden to light lamps."

The host can hit his son so hard his arm almost flies off, but he can't even hit his son!

"In this family, whoever is the oldest makes the decisions. As long as I'm alive, you all have to listen to me!" Su Dingding shouted sternly.

Wan Youcai and Wang Yuping dared not speak.

The old lady hasn't been feeling well these past couple of days, but today her voice was booming, like a final burst of energy before death, which was a bit frightening.

"Yan'er, come on, sleep with Grandma tonight!" Su Dingding pulled Wan Yan out of the house.

Wan Bin dared not stay there alone, fearing he would be beaten, so he picked up his sister's textbooks and pencil case and chased after her.

The next morning, Wan Yan, carrying her schoolbag and with two eggs in her pocket, went to school with Wan Bin.

"Yan'er, study hard and get a perfect score so Grandma can see!" Su Dingding shouted loudly as she saw them off at the gate.

Wan Youcai dared not utter a sound. Even though his mother beat him until he was in pain all over, he still had to go to work in the fields.

My family planted more than ten acres of beans and corn. In those days, mechanization was not yet widespread.

Spraying pesticides is done manually by carrying the sprayer on one's back, and weeding is done with hoes.

The couple worked in the field while discussing Wanyan's schooling.

They originally planned to let Wan Yan finish primary school, but then they felt that what her older sister said made sense. It wouldn't matter if she finished school, so they thought it would be better for her to go home and help out.

Finally, the two decided to report it to the police.

This matter requires my eldest sister to step in. As long as she stands there, my mother will behave herself.

Wan Lijuan was surprised when she received the call.

"Are you sure I understand what's going on?"

After receiving an affirmative reply, she let her mother answer the phone.

Su Dingding slowly walked to the telephone.

"Hey……"

"Mom, you're in good health?" Wan Lijuan planned to start by chatting about everyday things.

"Good morning. I get up quite early every day. I'm getting old and can't sleep well," Su Dingding replied.

"Mom," Wan Lijuan raised her voice and asked again, "What did you eat for dinner?"

"There's nothing on the window..." Su Dingding's answer was irrelevant.

Wan Lijuan sighed, "Mother, Yan'er isn't doing well in school. Right now, it's a busy time at home, so it's only right that she help out."

"Oh my god, you know your second aunt's calf died from overwork?" Su Dingding smacked her lips with heartache. "That calf was so small, and they made it to work in the fields. Now look what happened, it's exhausted. Your second aunt is sitting on the ground slapping her thigh and crying, but what's the use? If crying could bring it back, I'd go and cry for her too. Girl, didn't you see? That calf was so strong and energetic..."

Once Su Dingding started talking, she just wouldn't stop.

Wan Youcai and Wang Yuping stood to one side and began to feel sorry for the phone bill.

"Mom, my eldest sister is talking to you about Juan'er going to school!"

"Yes, Mother, let's get down to business!"

Su Dingding nodded repeatedly, "Well, Youcai told me not to tell you."

After saying that, Su Dingding quickly hung up the phone.

“Your eldest sister is such a kind person. She even feels sorry for your second aunt’s calf. Unlike you two, you don’t even want to send your own child to school!” Su Dingding pointed at their noses and went back into the house, muttering to herself.

Wan Yan stood outside nervously, clutching her pants, staring longingly at Su Dingding.

"What are you looking at? Go do your homework." Su Dingding smiled at her.

"Grandma, can I still go to school?" Wan Yan asked softly.

"As long as Grandma is alive, you can go to school," Su Dingding promised.

Wan Yan then smiled, "Grandma, you're so kind!"
