Chapter 812: 207: Be a worldling and drink alcohol and eat meat_3

After crying for a while, Grandma Wu took two Egg Ccakes out of her pocket. "Here, take these, have a good nourishment, but don’t give them to anyone else."

Grandma Wu had gotten a total of four Egg Ccakes, with two earmarked for Wu Dalong and Wu Erlong.

"Mom, where did you get these?" Yanyun asked. Egg Ccakes sold for more than one yuan per pound on the street, which their family couldn’t afford.

"They were from Wu Lan," Grandma Wu replied, adding, "Wu Lan is a kind-hearted good person."

Wu Jinshu also had a favorable impression of this landlord.

When they initially rented the house, Wu Lan had even given them a two yuan discount.

Wu Jinshu said, "You eat them, Grandma. I’m still young, I don’t need them."

Grandma Wu sternly said, "If I tell you to take them, just take them. I’ve already eaten."

Upon finishing her sentence, Grandma Wu continued, "Jinshu, having so many kids at home isn’t a solution. Yanyun is not that young anymore. Maybe we should consider finding a good family for her to marry into. Our circumstances aren’t great; finding her a good family could allow her to lead a comfortable life."

"No way!" Wu Jinshu immediately objected. "Yanyun is only seventeen years old this year! How can we talk about marriage! I want her to continue studying!"

"A girl, sooner or later, will have to get married. What’s the use of studying so much?" Grandma Wu persisted. "In the past, girls her age already had several children!"

Grandma Wu’s thinking had been deeply ingrained from the old society—how could it be changed easily?

Wu Jinshu said, "The past is the past, and now is now, Mom. Men and women are equal now. Besides, Teacher Zhao said Yanyun is a promising student and she’s bound to get into a good university! I would go to any length to ensure Yanyun gets an education!"

Yanyun had always been in school until the Wu Family could no longer afford the tuition, which is why she had dropped out to take care of children at home.

The teacher had made countless home visits to get Yanyun back to school.

The births of these three children one after another made the couple very happy, and their fondness for Yanyun grew as well.

They believed it was Yanyun who had brought these new opportunities to the Wu Family.

"Do you think I want to bring this up? I mentioned it because it seems you’ve even forgotten your own sons!" Grandma Wu grabbed Wu Jinshu’s hand. "Jinshu, I’m 67 this year and who knows when my time will come. If I don’t see Dalong and Erlong going to school and your family living in a small western-style house before I go, I won’t be at peace!"

"As long as the family is healthy and happy, it doesn’t matter where we live, Mom. You really don’t need to worry about this," Wu Jinshu said.

Upon hearing this, Grandma Wu felt her nose twitch and started crying again. "You keep saying you want to honor me, is this how you honor me? Everyone else’s parents are living in small western-style houses, and here am I, staying in this dark, haunted place. People aspire to move up, water flows downhill. Do you think I don’t want to live in a small western-style house?"

"Your father died early, and it was I who brought you up single-handedly, carrying you through the great famine. I chewed on tree barks and ate clay. Think about it, when did I ever let you and your sister eat such things?"

"A child doesn’t know the parent’s heart, a child doesn’t know..."

Grandma Wu’s spouse had died early, leaving her to raise two children alone.
