"They all left?"

Old Man Ye sat on a chair in the inner room, drinking wine by himself. His figure was rather lonely as he saw Qi Mu walk in, his tone slightly intoxicated, as he asked with a smile.

"Yes, they've all left." Qi Mu raised a big smile, walked to Ye Zichen's side and sat down, "Thank you grandpa."

"Thank me for what?" I am your grandfather, what is there to thank?! "

This granddaughter of his was smart and smart, thorough in her work. Everything was good, just that she was being too courteous to him, so why should she be courteous to him?

"If it wasn't for grandpa coming out to help me, and writing those words for me, I would have lost a lot of face. Even if grandpa is my grandpa, my granddaughter still has to thank him for this."

Qi Mu giggled and waved the black paper in her hand. A hint of bitterness flashed through the depths of her eyes. After studying for so many years, she suddenly became illiterate. This feeling made her feel uneasy and terrified.

With her current semi-illiterate state, even if she was given the chance to leave this remote village, how far could she go?

Ye Chonglou snorted lightly and said:

"Although your grandfather is currently a farmer, when I was young, my parents, who are also your grandfathers' milk, were able to work diligently, and their family situation is much better than now. I've also been to the academy, so writing a few words is not difficult for me."

"On the other hand, how could you think of writing papers? You've never learned them, so how could you know the twists and turns of businessmen?"

Qi Mu smiled at Ye Chonglou and said with an air of explanation:

"I've never read a book, but I know that if there is a certificate written in black and white, then the government must recognize it. That is definitely better than not having it written in black and white." I've never read a book, but I know that if there is a certificate written in black and white, then the government must recognize it.

"How are you afraid that the big guy will forget you, Slick! It's obviously because they're afraid that your Big Aunt and the others will not acknowledge their debt! "

Lordmaster Ye extended a callused finger and lightly tapped on Qi Mu's forehead, breaking the silence with a smile.

"Grandpa …"

Qi Mu embarrassedly tilted her head. She wasn't used to this sudden intimacy, but her eyes were clear and magnanimous. She left everything with a hand, clean and clear. What she did was good for everyone. There was nothing wrong with it.

It's a pity, you were born in our family, at this time. If you had been born in the stomach of the wives of those rich families, you would have done a great job right now. If you were born in some elementary school or other, who could compare to you?" "Marrying someone can also help me find a good home …

"What a pity, what a pity …" "I was born in a rundown family like ours. All I did was farm work all day long, and I didn't even know how to read or write. It was all because of grandpa. If it wasn't for me …"

The Ye family's old patriarch gazed at the still young appearance of the Seven Mushrooms, and continued to talk. His tone became more and more sorrowful, and his aged eyes started to moisten.

"Grandfather, grandfather, what does this have to do with grandfather? What's wrong with me?" Even after growing up, we still haven't been living well. We have our fill of food and drink, and it's the same as those who have been reading since they were young. "

He was afraid that the old man wouldn't feel good about this matter. Today had already happened enough, but she would have to take care of it for no reason. She was a lucky grandfather of hers, so she should be able to take care of him.

"Come on, don't lie to me. I've lived for more than half my life and I haven't made much money, but I'm well aware of the people's intentions. Tell me honestly, do you want to know a few words?"

The Ye family's old patriarch didn't care about Qi Mu. He stopped drinking and looked at Qi Mu with a serious expression as he put down his wine bowl.

The original owner probably hadn't thought about it. She had just transmigrated here and was busy filling her stomach, so she hadn't thought about it either. However, now that she thought about it, she really wanted it.

She could deal with the land for her entire life, but she could not tolerate a lifetime of dealing only with the land. The former was a free choice for her, and the latter was a restraint and oppression.

For the first time, he felt how humane and wonderful nine years of compulsory education was for everyone.

"Grandfather, even if I wanted to get to know a few words, our family still wouldn't have that condition. Moreover, in the entire village, only one person, Brother Yao, and a few men from the Li family can go to the academy. Even if they do, it's not my turn …"

In truth, she didn't want to answer like this, nor did she want to appear like this in front of the Ye family's old patriarch. However, for some reason, these words had somehow come out of her mouth.

Perhaps, the image that appeared in her mind when she was young in the modern era, those unbearable scenes... She felt very uncomfortable in her heart, and it was slightly painful. She, who had always had a good self-control, was actually somewhat unable to control her emotions this time.

"Mm, I understand."

Old Man Ye let out a long sigh, his gaze dimmed. He waved his hand at Qi Mu, signaling her that she could leave, and said:

"You're tired after causing such a ruckus for so long. Go back and rest."

"Also, you should tell your parents that you are a smart kid and understand what I mean about this noon incident."

The corner of Qi Mu's mouth curled into a habitual smile, but the smile remained on her face. As usual, she stood up and bowed towards the Ye family's old patriarch, then replied:

"I understand. Then I will leave first. Grandfather will rest early as well."

"Right."

"..."

He walked out of the main house of the Ye family step by step, and when he arrived at the corner, his footsteps finally paused. As if she had been possessed, Qi Mu leaned against the wall, raised her right hand, and slowly placed it on top of her chest.

Qi Mu turned her head to look in the direction of the Ye family's main house. Within her limpid eyes, there seemed to be a flash of tears that were intertwined with the deep sorrow of the bone marrow. After a few breaths, when her heart calmed down a lot, Qi Mu slowly walked back to her house with the same faint smile.

They shouldn't have, shouldn't have, had expectations.

If you want it, go get it.

Even though she could not write today, it did not mean that she would never write again.

Comprehension, no matter where you go, is a necessity, a necessity for the ruling class!

How could she have always been subservient to others?
