Chapter 398: Chapter 399 Going to School 3

"No! You must go!" Chen Jianye’s face darkened as he said this.

Only by attending school can one eventually become a well-paid worker and be successful!

Though Sanni was already aware of this outcome, she still gritted her teeth and wanted to negotiate one more time: "Dad, I want to go to school."

She didn’t want to spend her life toiling in the fields, not even having enough to eat.

Chen Jianye was taken aback when his eldest daughter made such a request. He furrowed his brows and said, "But if you go to school, there will be nobody to look after Jinbao."

Sanni stood there, looking at him. Her voice was almost pleading as she repeated, "Dad! I want to go to school. When I come back from school, I promise I’ll do all the chores. I won’t be lazy!"

Chen Jianye avoided her pleading gaze and said firmly, "Wait for Jinbao to get a bit older. You can go then."

Though school fees and textbook fees weren’t a concern, going to school still required money and it would leave no time for work during the day. For now, his eldest daughter would have to bear with it.

With tears reddening her eyes, Sanni said nothing more, silently turned, and walked out of the room.

After a moment of silence in the old house, Chen Jianguo finally spoke, "We can only afford to send one of Dani and Erni to school."

Sini was too young to be considered for the time being.

"I want to go! I want to become a city-dweller like auntie and work hard to earn money to provide for mom and dad!" Erni immediately shouted. Unconsciously clenching her fists, she felt somewhat excited.

Initially, the auntie was the one who was allowed to go to school, then she moved to the town after getting married. Every time she returned, she would bring lots of gifts. Life in the city was much better than life in the countryside!

Dani also wanted to go to school, but seeing her sister’s hopeful face and her pregnant mother, she hesitated for a moment and said, "Let Erni go, I’ll do the chores at home."

"If that’s the case, let’s let Erni go." Chen Jianguo agreed.

Erni was immediately overjoyed. She was going to school to become a city-dweller!

Zhao Mei knew that the eldest daughter also wanted to go to school, but the family’s situation really didn’t permit it. She couldn’t help feeling sorry for her eldest daughter.

So she told Erni, "Once school is over, you must hurry back to help with the chores, okay?"

"I know, I know! Don’t worry, mom! As soon as school is over, I’ll come back and help big sister with the chores." Erni promised eagerly, ready to do anything that was asked of her now.

Chen Jianmin, who had just become a father, was holding the twins with a fascinated look while discussing the matter with Liu Lanzhi, "The commune’s primary school will soon be built, the children at home need to go to school, we will take care of the children ourselves, how does that sound?"

"Sounds good!" Liu Lanzhi agreed without giving it a second thought.

She wanted to raise the children herself too!

Guibao, who was very attached to her grandparents, was raised by them since she was a baby.

When Ma Xiulian saw her little granddaughter rubbing her eyes, she knew she was tired and asked, "Guibao, do you need to go potty?"

Children would sleep more soundly if they went to the toilet before bed.

"Yes."

Helian Qiao nodded her head, and seeing her grandmother reaching out to pick her up, she turned over and climbed down from the bed, "I’ll go by myself."

Ma Xiulian didn’t stop her but just watched her with a smiling face as she toddled off.

As soon as Helian Qiao stepped out the door, she saw a small figure hunched in the corner of the courtyard, shoulders shaking as they sobbed quietly.

Helian Qiao tilted her head, walked up to the figure, and tapped them on the shoulder, "Sister Sanni, why are you crying?"

She knew that Sanni was not the kind to be a crybaby, and she also sensed her current sadness.

Upon hearing the question, Sanni quickly wiped her tears and turned around, "Nothing."

"Oh." Helian Qiao responded, then turned around to go to the bathroom.
