Chapter 158 Preparing to send Li Zhengde to school

Li Mingxia was too lazy to say these meaningless words. "Yes, Mr. Xiao is right. Next time I will wait until I get home to see it. If there is nothing else, I will leave first. My family is still waiting for me at home."

"Wait a minute, I've prepared two food boxes for you. They'll be delivered soon. Take them back--"

"I'll take it back for my parents, brothers and sisters to try. Thank you, Mr. Xiao." Although Li Mingxia didn't want to talk nonsense with Xiao Tianyue, she accepted the food box Xiao Tianyue gave her. "Thank you, Mr. Xiao."

The two food boxes were heavy. Li Mingxia held one. Xiao Tianyue wanted to help her get the other one, but Li Mingxia directly stuffed the other one into Li Zhengde's hands.

"There are some sugar-coated red gauze fruits that you like in here, so you have to carry one. If you can't carry it, you can tell me."

Then Xiao Tianyue saw Li Zhengde, whose face had just turned red, and said, "I can do it!"

Xiao Tianyue found this scene very interesting and smiled. He was only planning to escort her out of the box, but somehow he ended up escorting her to the door of the restaurant.

"Mr. Xiao, I won't come tomorrow. Please don't forget to get it." Li Mingxia was sitting on the ox cart. When she spoke, a breeze suddenly blew over. A strand of hair floated in front of her eyes, causing her to squint slightly.

Xiao Tianyue was stunned. Before he could say anything, Li Mingxia drove away in the ox cart.

"Young Master? Young Master? Everyone has left, let's go back." The servant looked at Xiao Tianyue standing there motionless for a long time and couldn't help but remind him.

Xiao Tianyue came back to his senses and coughed a few times awkwardly, "Let's go back to the house."

Originally, he came to the restaurant for a stroll because he was bored, but he didn't expect to meet Li Mingxia here. Thinking about it this way, it was not a wasted trip.

"Sister, are we going home now?" Li Zhengde panted softly on the ox cart.

Li Mingxia pretended not to see it and just smiled and said, "Well, go home."

The children had no objection to the fact that they did not buy anything on their trip to the town; they just wanted to take a ride in their family's ox cart. After all, they had bought everything they needed during the past few days and there were not many things they desired anymore.

"You have to accompany your elder sister to town tomorrow."

"What's the matter?" Li Zhengde asked curiously.

"Don't worry, you'll know when you come with me tomorrow."

Li Mingxia recalled the house he had just seen and the people coming in and out. He felt a little expectant, but also a little nervous and uneasy.

When he returned home, he still gave the food box to Zhang. At the same time, Li Mingxia took out ten taels of silver and gave it to Zhang.

"Mom, you and my dad keep this money." This time, Li Mingxia did not hide it from Li Sanlang when giving the money.

Zhang glanced at Li Sanlang, who just looked at Zhang, not knowing how to respond, and had no intention of taking the silver himself.

"What you gave me last time—"

"Mom, last time is last time, and it was a long time ago. Logically, it should have been used up. Keep this ten taels of silver. Buy whatever you want. You can discuss it with my dad, and you don't need to tell me." Li Mingxia interrupted Zhang and put the silver in her hand.

Zhang had no choice but to accept it. "You pay for everything at home and outside. How can I use the money? Leave these ten taels of silver with me and I will use it to pay them for their work."

Li Mingxia knew that Zhang was saying this to Li Sanlang. Like herself, she was afraid that Li Sanlang would be cheated by the people in the old house again one day. Money was a small matter. What she feared most was that something went wrong in their family because of these troubles.

"Okay, Mom, just do whatever you decide." Anyway, Li Mingxia paid the wages every day, and the money would eventually remain in Zhang's hands. After all, it was the business between the two of them.

"Mom, I have something else I want to discuss with you and my dad." Li Sanlang was obviously relieved after watching Zhang put away the ten taels of silver. "What is it, my daughter?"

"I want to take Zhengde to the academy in town tomorrow. If possible, I want to let Zhengde go to the academy before the New Year, and he can enroll directly next spring." Li Mingxia had not thought about this matter before, but had this idea after seeing the academy in the town today.

Zhang and Li Sanlang didn't understand this at all, but they knew that studying was a good thing. "It's good, but if we study now, won't we have a holiday soon?"

Li Mingxia nodded. "It should be two more months, but it will be enough for Zhengde to get familiar with the process of the academy and listen to the classes in advance. There are only benefits, no disadvantages."

It is likely that Li Zhengde will not learn much in these two months. Li Mingxia also knows this, but she just wants Li Zhengde to use these two months to fully adapt to the academy so that he can study without distraction in the spring.

"That sounds good, but I don't know how much money it will cost in a month," said Li Sanlang.

In fact, he really agreed with this idea in his heart, but the desire to save money made him feel that the money he spent in the past two months was a bit "wasted", and he felt a little distressed.

Zhang also meant this. "My girl, have you asked around? How much does this academy cost per month? Do I need to pay a gift to the teacher?"

Li Mingxia only asked a few questions about these matters and did not know the details clearly. However, in order to let Zhang and Li Sanlang feel at ease to let Li Zhengde go to school, Li Mingxia could only say that he already knew everything.

"It doesn't cost much a month, and there's no need for additional gifts. Our family can afford it now, but my eldest brother is really too old. Otherwise, I would like to let him go to school with me. Even if it's just to listen to some knowledge and learn more words, it will be beneficial."

After Li Mingxia said this, the two naturally had no objections. The next day, she instructed Li Mingyu on a bunch of things. After making sure that everything was foolproof, she took Li Zhengde to the town in a hurry.

"Sister, I'm a little scared." Li Zhengde already knew Li Mingxia's plan. He forced himself not to say anything when he went out, but as he saw the town and the academy getting closer, Li Zhengde couldn't help but say something.

"Don't be afraid. I brought you here because I knew you were fine. Otherwise, I wouldn't have wasted this time. Wouldn't it be fine if we waited until the spring of next year?"

Li Mingxia's words did comfort Li Zhengde, and he had calmed down by the time he arrived in the town.

"Sister, do I still need to give you a gift? Isn't it not necessary?"
