Xiaoxiao just slept from broad daylight all the way to the next morning. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw her bargain of a husband.
"What do you want to do?"
"..." Was he a wild beast? Such strong wariness. "I don’t want to do anything, let’s get up and eat!"
Xiaoxiao saw the porridge that was placed there, still steaming hot. It seemed to have just been brought in. She definitely drank too much yesterday, got really drunk. She didn’t blabber any nonsense, did she?
"That... I was really drunk yesterday, I didn’t talk nonsense, did I?" Xiaoxiao glanced at her bargain husband somewhat guiltily and asked. Even when sober she might talk in her sleep, not to mention the possibility of talking nonsense when drunk.
Good, good, Xiaoxiao immediately patted her chest in relief, but then her bargain husband gave her a bombshell, "Just that you said you wanted to kick me out and find a bunch of men to take care of you!"
"..." Xiaoxiao’s entire being felt awful, she really dared to say anything, didn’t she? Although what she said was the brutal truth, she shouldn’t have said it to his face.
"Hehe, you can’t take the words of a drunk person seriously, hehe, can’t take them seriously." Xiaoxiao kept shaking her little hand, insisting she didn’t mean it, blaming the alcohol for ruining everything.
"Don’t drink in the future!"
"Yes, yes!" Xiaoxiao immediately kept nodding her head. She dared not anymore! If she accidentally got drunk and did something to her bargain husband, that wouldn’t be good.
Yesterday was an emergency situation, and she revealed her drinking trait – once she started, she couldn’t stop. The buzz hit, and she even dragged her bargain husband for another round, totally embarrassing herself.
However, this bargain husband really overturned her understanding of him. He looked like a refined person, but he joined her in the drinking games! And he even outdrank her.
"Yang Ming, when are you going to the Academy?"
"..." Was this her trying to rush him off?
"In a little more than a month!"
"Yang Ming, after this incident, I’ve had an idea. I think everyone in our family needs to learn how to read!"
Having been here for more than two months, busy with earning money, she had forgotten such a crucial matter. Yang Wei’s incident reminded her that everyone must learn to read so as not to be cheated.
"Lack of education is truly terrifying, Yang Wei’s incident really sounded an alarm for us!"
"Acquiring knowledge can change a person’s destiny and broaden one’s horizons. Learning is endless! Each person can also discover their own strengths in the process of learning."
The wife always spoke very philosophical words, making him feel inferior; it seemed that all the years spent in studying had been in vain. "Hmm, I can teach them at home recently."
"After the New Year, I want to send the three kids and the fourth brother to study."
"Okay, we’ll do as you say."
Just eight days until New Year’s, the work of renting out the small courtyard was also nearing its end, and the pickles had all been prepared.
"Everyone, stop your work and come here." Xiaoxiao gathered everyone to announce the matter of taking a holiday.
After hearing her call, everyone gathered together.
"We’ll finish the work for the landlord today, and from tomorrow we’ll start the holiday. Everyone can go home and have a good New Year’s."
"In a while, I’ll distribute the wages. We will pay a whole month’s salary of six hundred wen as a New Year’s bonus. Everyone has worked hard these days."
Some of the female workers began asking, "Landlord, will we have work to do after the New Year?"
"Once the pickle work is done, there won’t be other tasks. But rest assured, if I get other jobs, I’ll find you!"
After listening, everyone felt at ease: "Then thank you,
