Chapter 400: Chapter 401 Going to School 5

Dani listened silently on the side, feeling happy for Sanni. She hoped that her younger sisters could have a good life in the future.

At the same time, she couldn’t help feeling a bit disappointed. If only she could go to school too!

In the next room, the boys were moaning and groaning.

"I don’t want to go to school!" Chen Erbao was hopping mad, like an animated monkey.

He had been to a literacy class and found it terribly boring.

Sitting there all day, his butt felt like it wasn’t his own anymore.

"I don’t want to go either!"

Chen Xiaobao muttered in agreement, he just wanted to run around and play every day!

Chen Dabao also didn’t want to go to school. It wasn’t because he loved to play, but everytime he tried to listen to the lessons, he got a headache and couldn’t remember anything.

He’d rather work in the fields than go to school!

Unfortunately, their parents said they had to go, or else they wouldn’t get food to eat.

After putting Guibao to sleep, Ma Xiulian thought for a moment and said to Chen Dazhu, "Old man, why don’t we send all the children older than Xiaobao to school? We can pay for their stationery. As long as they can keep studying, we’ll keep paying."

After all, they were their own grandchildren. Even though she had a soft spot for Guibao, she hoped that all of her grandchildren could have a better life in the future.

Just like with Honghong back then. Regardless of whether they were grandsons or granddaughters, as long as they performed well academically and could get into middle school or even high school, she was willing to support them financially.

"Agreed." Chen Dazhu had no objections. It wasn’t a large amount of money anyways.

And having seen the example set by their eldest daughter, he understood that girls could bring honor to the Chen Family just as much as boys could.

Just having a daughter who worked in the city was enough to make people from miles around envied them.

However, since the girl would eventually marry and leave, he would of course be even happier if their boys could get an education and succeed. After all, only the boys could carry on the Chen family lineage.

Early the next morning, Ma Xiulian announced her decision from the previous night,"All the children older than Xiaobao will go to school, and we, the old couple, will pay for their schooling."

Dani’s eyes lit up, and she looked at her parents with renewed hope.

The previous night, she had talked with Sanni, who was planning to work while going to school and had also encouraged her to strive for a place in school.

Dani felt she could do this too!

There was a moment of silence among the family members. It was Chen Jianguo, the eldest, who broke the silence, "We can’t ask mom and dad for money. We can afford the school fees. But Dani won’t go to school, we need her at home to do the chores. Besides, Zhao Mei is going to give birth soon, and the baby will need someone to look after."

How could all the children in the family go to school!

Upon hearing this, the light of hope that had just ignited in Dani’s eyes immediately dimmed.

Her father was right. She should stay at home and help. Her parents had already worked hard enough to provide for her and her sisters. She shouldn’t be so thoughtless.

"Sanni won’t go either, she needs to stay home and look after Jinbao. She can go to school in a couple of years," Chen Jianye chimed in.

Sanni didn’t even spare him a glance, she was already disappointed in him. As long as grandma agreed, she could go!

Ma Xiulian took a brief look at him and said, "Xiaobao is still too young to go to school, he wouldn’t understand anything. Let him stay at home and look after Jinbao. He can go in a couple of years."

Chen Xiaobao immediately nodded his head repeatedly, "I’ll stay at home, let Sanni go to school!"

Staying at home meant he could go out and play, which was a lot more relaxing than going to school.

His older brother had even warned him that if he didn’t study well, teachers would smack his palms. He wanted no part of that!
