Transmigration: From Dragon Princess To Pampered Granddaughter
Chapter 401 - 402 Going to School 6

Chapter 401: Chapter 402 Going to School 6

Chen Jianye thought about it and found the rationale convincing. At six, he was still – and very happily at that - playing in the mud, and he would have rebelled if made to go to school.

Thinking about the yearning and pleading look in his daughter’s eyes the previous evening, his resolve softened: "Fine, let Sanni go to school then."

"Fantastic! I don’t have to go to school!" Chen Xiaobao cheered gleefully.

Chen Erbao looked at him with envy, quickly raised his hand and shouted: "I’m also still small, I want to stay home and take care of Liuni!"

This way he wouldn’t have to go to school!

Suddenly, Zhou Zhaodi’s hand snatched his ear, turning angrily to twist it: "You little imp! You never take care of Liuni when needed, and now you suddenly remember your little sister?! You better go to school and study hard or I’ll break your legs!"

"Owwww!"

Chen Erbao winced, pleading in pain: "I got it, Mum! I got it!"

Helian Qiao watched with wide, gleaming eyes, completely engrossed. Her second brother was the most entertaining.

Although everyone has two eyes, a nose and a mouth, his facial expressions were always particularly expressive and colourful.

Only then did Zhou Zhaodi release her son: "I’m not sending you to school to loiter, if you don’t study well, I’ll make ’bamboo plank stir-fried meat’ for you every day!"

Just hearing this, Chen Erbao already felt his butt ache, and he nodded obediently in agreement.

He was afraid of his tyrant of a mother; in the future, he would have to marry a wife who would listen to everything he said!

Chen Dabao also did not want to eat ’bamboo plank stir-fried meat’, so he silently accepted his schooling fate.

Zhou Zhaodi then turned to Ma Xiulian: "Mum, Liuni is nearly two now, she doesn’t need people to look after her. Sini can help out a little."

At that time, children were not mollycoddled. A two-year-old didn’t need to be held or carried, they could crawl and play on their own.

Ma Xiulian thought the same way and said to Chen Jianye and his wife: "Currently, Sini only has to look after Liuni. It’s more than enough to look after another child."

"But what about the housework..." Chen Jianye’s face showed a hesitant look.

Ma Xiulian cut him off sternly: "Didn’t we manage when we didn’t have many daughters in the house before?! Once we divide our home, you’ll only have to work in our own small home; how much time and energy will that actually consume?!"

Dani, seeing her grandmother getting angry, quickly spoke up: "Granny, I won’t go to school, I’ll just do the housework."

She was happy that her grandmother was allowing her to attend school, but she didn’t want to cause any inconvenience to her parents, or let them struggle.

Fortunately, Zhao Mei was touched by her eldest daughter’s words. She beseeched her husband: "My dear, I’ll do the housework. Let Dani and Erni continue their education."

There really was not much housework for their small family; she could handle it after work.

Hearing this, Dani was deeply moved.

Then she clenched her fists, and courageously declared, "Dad, I promise studying won’t interfere with my chores!"

She wanted to be like her aunt, earn money and dutifully care for her parents, allowing them to enjoy a better life!

Looking at their eldest daughter, who was always so understanding and diligent, Chen Jianye couldn’t help but feel touched. In the end, he gave in: "Okay, both of you go study."

Everyone was overjoyed, except for Chen Erbao, who wore a face of despair – he couldn’t sit still in a classroom at all!

When Gu Tingyun arrived, Chen Erbao began to air his grievances, casually slinging an arm over his shoulder, and wearing a mournful expression: "Brother, I have to go to school soon, it’s so tragic, such suffering!"

Gu Tingyun retreated a step without changing his expression, matter-of-factly adding: "I also have to go to school."
