“Yun Shan, I heard that you want Yun Yang to go to primary school in the county. I think he is still young, so there is no rush for him to study,” Liu Fang asked tentatively.
Yun Shan nodded. He knew that Yun Yang was still young, but his current wish was for him to obediently study and learn medical skills from Doctor Lu. That way, his life would be better in the future.
Liu Fang’s words were sour.
“Our family’s Yun Lang hasn’t gone to school yet. How could a younger brother study earlier than his older brother?”
The corners of Yun Xi’s mouth curled into a cold smile.
“Back when Yun Lian and I fought for a place to study, aunt didn’t think that the younger sister should give way to her older sister. Now that I think about it, isn’t it a little ironic?”
Yun Xi seemed to be stating the truth, but in fact, she was mocking Liu Fang.
Liu Fang was choked to the point that she could not speak. She glanced at Yun Shan and Chen Li who were sitting at the side.
“Yun Shan, Chen Li, this is your family after all. I am your sister-in-law. How can you allow a child to speak to an elder like me like this?”
Liu Fang had also learned her lesson. She knew that she would not be able to gain anything from Yun Xi, so she could only throw the problem back to her family.
“What are you saying, sister-in-law? I’m just hoping that the children and grandchildren of our Yun family can be more promising.” Yunshan quickly tried to smooth things over.
“Sister-in-law, our family’s Yun Yang has been accepted as an apprentice by the famous Doctor Lu in the county. Although this apprenticeship is about studying medicine, he still needs to recognize a few words. That’s why we are in a hurry to send the child to school. We are afraid that we will disappoint Doctor Lu’s kind intentions.”
Chen Li’s words seemed to imply that she wanted to send her child to school out of helplessness. However, she had secretly spread the news that Doctor Lu had accepted Yun Yang as his disciple and compared him to Yun Lang.
Yun Lang had even quarreled with him over a piece of meat. He had not been taught well at all. Meanwhile, Yun Yang had already become Doctor Lu’s disciple. He would definitely be one of the top figures in the future.
As soon as these words were said, the difference in status was obvious.
“Yun Yang is really lucky.” Liu Fang snorted coldly, “However, our Yun Lang doesn’t want to study medicine. After all, he won’t be serving others. To put it bluntly, being a doctor is a service job. In the future, our Yun Lang will inherit his father’s business and become an official. Naturally, he won’t be interested in this kind of apprentice job.”
Liu Fang’s words were very harsh, but she was also trying to save her own dignity.
A hint of anger appeared in Yun Yang’s eyes.
“Since the younger brother is already in school, then this older brother should also be studying. Why don’t we let our Yun Lang and Yun Yang study together in the county’s primary school? These two brothers can be considered playmates when they are together.” Liu Fang went around the bush and she finally revealed her true purpose for this trip.
As soon as Liu Fang finished speaking, Yun Shan’s face flashed with a hint of embarrassment. No matter how stupid he was, he understood the other meaning behind Liu Fang’s words.
“This is a good thing. It’s also a good thing to let Yun Lang study and receive an education earlier.” Yun Xi finished her sentence. The meaning in her words was, in fact, completely accusing Yun Lang of having no upbringing at all.
Liu Fang was just about to break into a rage, but when she thought about how she still had to beg this family to get what she wanted, she put on a smile again.
“Yun Xi is right. Children need to study in order to understand more.” Liu Fang looked at Yun Shan and added, “We also want to give our child the best educational conditions, but our current situation doesn’t allow it. We can not abandon the mess at home and come to the county to rent a house. So I can only entrust the child to you two. We are a family. I hope that you two can help take care of Yun Lang.”
Hearing Liu Fang’s words, Yun Shan was a little reluctant to back down.
If he did not agree, it would be dismissing Liu Fang’s intentions. However, if he agreed, then he would have to bear the burden of a person’s rations. Even though he was just a child and he probably could not eat much, Yun Lang was delicate. If there were any good food in the house in the future, it would definitely be in the hands of this child.
If they did not give this child good food, the accusation that they had mistreated their nephew would be spread to the village very quickly. At that time, it would be even more difficult to explain.
