Chapter 371: 371 Singing Branch



“You certainly have!” She emphasized.

“I honestly don’t have any.” He said helplessly, “I don’t make much money to begin with, and our household expenses are high. There’s not enough money to go around, let alone have private savings. Why not ask Second Brother if he has

Before Xiao Yishan could speak, Su Qingyue answered for him, “Second Brother is such an honest and stable person, there’s no need to ask, he definitely doesn’t have any.”

“Do you trust him that much?” He felt a bit uncomfortable.

Su Qingyue said, “Our family was in such dire straits not long ago, and we owed so many debts. If anyone had money, they would have already taken it out. Speaking of debts…” She paused, then continued, “Oh, I forgot to mention, I ran into Wang Cuihua on the road in the afternoon and repaid one and a half taels we owed her family, plus an extra hundred cents.”

“My wife, did your brain get flooded?” Xiao Yuchuan reminded her, “Didn’t you say before that you’ve already paid a hundred cents? Now you’re giving another hundred cents, isn’t that an extra two hundred cents?” Two hundred cents was not a small sum, and it hurt.

“It’s your brain that got flooded.” Su Qingyue counted, “We owed a total of one and a half taels, I paid a hundred cents last time, and one and a half taels this time. Isn’t the total just an extra hundred cents? I also earned some money. You’re close to Zhou Fuquan, so giving another hundred cents to buy some food for Fuwa is only fitting.”

Xiao Yuchuan felt wronged, “My wife, I misunderstood just now. I thought you paid a hundred cents last time, and this time you gave one and a half taels plus

a nunared cents, totaling an extra two nunared cents.” His bright eyes stared at her, “Despite your claim that you look ugly, you seem clever. But how come your words always sound so confusing?

“…” She was speechless, “Your own comprehension ability is low, and you actually blame me for not being clear with my words…”

“My wife, how can you bully me for being illiterate and use such formal language? I didn’t even know the phrase ‘hard to understand speech can be described as not clear’ could be used to express this…”

“It serves you right for being illiterate.” She had no sympathy for him.

He pursed his lips, “I simply couldn’t afford going to school…”

Xiao Yishan and Xiao Qinghe also felt a bit uneasy, as they couldn’t read either. The two occasionally stole glances at Su Qingyue, afraid that she would look down on them.

As expected, Su Qingyue showed an outright disdainful expression, “Being uncultured is just being uncultured. It’s hard not to look down on you.”

The two who were peeking at her suddenly felt unease in their hearts. They then thought, perhaps she was only despising her husband and not including other people.

“My wife…” He was close to tears, “In this whole village, there are only a few literate people. Second Brother and Fourth Brother can’t read either, do you despise them too?”

“They’re different from you.” “How are they different?”

“You’re asking for a beating, they’re not.”

“Anyway, almost the entire village is illiterate; you’re not allowed to despise me for this reason.”

“That’s the difference.” Su Qingyue sighed.

Xiao Yuchuan was confused, “My wife, what difference are you talking about?”

“The difference of the times. In legends, there are people called modern people, and in their world, everyone can read. Illiterate people are the odd ones out, almost extinct. That’s a high-tech place, people who have studied for less than twelve years are considered semi-illiterate, and those who studied for sixteen years are everywhere.” Su Qingyue said proudly, looking honored. Who wouldn’t, since she was a modern person? Even taking a primary school student and placing them in ancient times, they would have a high level of education.

“Nonsense, where do you find people who study for so long? Even if there are, they must be old scholars. Studying for so many years costs a lot of silver..”

Xiao Yuchuan thought about the money needed for attending private school,
