The sun has set, and twilight is all around.

Xia Yu held Xia Qianqian's hand tightly, jumping around with joy. As soon as he entered the house, Xia Yu rushed towards Qin: "Mother!"

Qin Shi woke up from his sleep, and when he saw his son, he thought he was dreaming. She stroked Xia Yu's face tremblingly: "Yu'er, why are you here? Mother, is this dreaming?"

"Mother, eldest sister brought me back. I can stay at home for two days. Grandpa and second uncle agreed." Xia Yu said.

"Really?" Qin Shi looked at Xia Qianqian.

Xia Qianqian nodded with a smile: "Really."

"That's great." Qin shi hugged his son happily, but didn't want to let go for a long time.

"I'm going to cook and eat meat tonight. Yunyun, help eldest sister add firewood." Xia Qianqian said.

"Okay." Xia Yunyun stood up and walked on short legs.

Xia Yu hurriedly said, "Eldest sister, I'm here to add firewood."

"No, I will." Xia Yunyun said in a milky voice, "Brother, mother misses you very much, you can talk with mother."

Xia Yu's eyes were red and he blamed himself. The younger sister is so young, she already knows how to humble him. He couldn't do anything as a big brother, but instead made the family feel heartbroken.

Qin shi said softly, "Yu'er, how could your grandfather agree to your coming?"

"Second uncle stole the meat from the house and was discovered by the eldest sister. They justified the loss and wanted to make big things small and small things, so they agreed." Xia Yu said.

"So it is." Qin Shi was filled with emotion. When Xia Qianqian came back from buying meat, she was reluctant. Eating meat and refined grains every day is too extravagant for them. Unexpectedly, it has become a weapon to check and balance the old Xia family.

She felt more and more that whatever Xia Qianqian did was justified.

"Mother, I want my eldest sister to be literate." Xia Yu said, "I want to take the exam."

This is the only way he can think of to strengthen himself!

A big beautiful house came to Qin's mind, and a group of noble-dressed sons in the big house were reading poems and books with the master. Her expression became dazed.

Xia Yu's eyes darkened. In this poor mountain village, reading and literacy is the most extravagant dream. The second uncle wouldn't let him study, and his mother didn't have the ability.

"Yu'er, big sister will teach you after dinner." Xia Qianqian said while cooking, "I will find a way to convince Grandpa, so that you can come and learn to read every day in the future."

Xia Yu suddenly saw hope again: "Big sister, is it really possible?"

"It's necessary." Xia Qianqian waved her hand proudly, "In the future, the eldest sister will help you find a good school and send you to school. In the future, if you want to take the exam, the eldest sister will support you!"

"Okay!" Xia Yu burst into tears with excitement. He secretly clenched his small fists and swore in his heart: He must study hard, he will be admitted to fame in the future, and let his mother and sisters live a good life!

In the Jiang family, Jiang Ming was tired and aggrieved. When he entered the house, he cried a lot. After drinking, he drank a bowl of porridge and fell asleep. Jiang's father and Jiang's mother looked at each other sadly, and there were some broken silver coins on the table.

This is all they can come up with, and it's less than two taels of silver together. And they have to pay Xia Qianqian twenty taels of silver!

"Sell the house!" Father Jiang lowered his head.

Mother Jiang looked at her earth-based house: "Where will we live after we sell the house?"

"Go to your mother's house, doesn't your brother's house have a spare room?" Father Jiang said.

"But I can't live in my parents' house for the rest of my life. Yangliu Village is the root of the Jiang family."
