Spoiled By the Young Master After Reborn In the 80s-Chapter 903: Nine hundred and one, learning to recognize characters

Chapter 903: Nine hundred and one, learning to recognize characters

"Sister-in-law Lu!" Three Guard’s Wives quickly caught up with Luo Shu.

"Is there anything else?" Luo Shu stopped, looking at the three women.

"Didn’t you say that you were going to prepare Pills to prevent smallpox? We can help you."

"Yes, if you have any heavy tasks, just leave them to us. We’re very strong."

"Once you’ve prepared the Pills, we can help you distribute them." The three Guard’s Wives looked at Luo Shu with eager eyes.

Luo Shu smiled and shook her head, "Thank you for your kindness, but I can manage on my own." It’s just some ordinary Pills, she could finish them in twenty to thirty minutes.

"Sister-in-law Lu, we can help you take care of the children."

"Yes, it must be very hard for you to take care of two children by yourself. We also have experience in childcare."

"Anyway, we don’t have much to do at home, we could take turns helping you with the children."

"My dear sisters, I appreciate your kindness, but I can manage the children on my own, really. There’s no need to trouble you." Luo Shu smiled and declined. Her children usually practice in the space or play with Xiao Bai, Xiao Hei, and others. Even she thought she spent too little time with them, let alone needing others’ help.

"Sister-in-law Lu, to be honest, we actually want to learn from you, to see if we can pick up some of your good qualities."

"You are so excellent, we want to be like you, even if we can only learn a little bit."

"Yes! Please teach us." Hearing Luo Shu’s refusal, the three Guard’s Wives could only reveal their true purpose.

Luo Shu shook her head and smiled, saying, "If that’s the case, I think it’s even less necessary. Everyone has their own strengths, and your husbands love you just as you are, don’t they?"

The three Guard’s Wives exchanged glances. It seemed Luo Shu made some sense.

"If you really want to learn something, I suggest you take up something you’re interested in, like cooking, sewing, or learning to read. All of these are possible and will also be helpful for your future life," Luo Shu suggested.

"I want to learn to read; I don’t recognize a single character right now, I don’t even know what my son’s homework is about."

"Yes! I also want to learn to read. My man says that knowledge can change our fate."

"I don’t even know how to write my own name."

"Even if we want to learn, there’s no one to teach us! What should we do?" Ultimately, the three Guard’s Wives still threw the problem back to Luo Shu.

After thinking for a while, Luo Shu said, "That’s easy to handle. Nowadays, aren’t there many college graduates looking for jobs? Let’s jointly submit a request to hire a college graduate as a teacher for us in the Guard’s Members Courtyard to teach us to read. As for the teacher’s salary, each interested Guard’s Wife can share the cost. What do you think?"

"That’s a great idea!"

"Sister-in-law Lu, you’re really clever!"

"I’m going to ask for the opinions of the other Guard’s Wives right now." After saying that, the three Guard’s Wives couldn’t wait and immediately went to consult the others.

Watching their departing figures, Luo Shu smiled and started walking towards her own home. As long as they weren’t following her, everything was fine.

Sister-in-law He saw two Guard’s Wives ahead and hastened to catch up with them, "Sister-in-law Li, Sister-in-law Wang, wait! I have something to ask for your opinion about." To broaden the range, she and the other two Guard’s Wives split up and each went to find other Guard’s Wives to consult.

"What’s the matter, Sister-in-law He?" The two Guard’s Wives stopped and curiously looked at Sister-in-law He.

"It’s like this, I met Sister-in-law Lu today, the one from Captain Lu’s household. I told her about the child from Centurion Fang’s Household who had smallpox. She went to the hospital, and it was cured just like that. You don’t know how miraculous she is, when we entered, the child was barely breathing, but after her treatment, the child’s smallpox was cured," Sister-in-law He said excitedly, forgetting the reason she had approached the two Guard’s Wives.

"What? She could cure smallpox?"

"He recovered even from his last breath?" The two Guard’s Wives asked in disbelief. They naturally knew about the child from Centurion Fang’s Household contracting smallpox, and these days because of the smallpox, they were very anxious and hardly dared to step outside their homes.

"Exactly! When I first knew the child was cured, I thought I heard it wrong. Later, seeing the child lively and bouncing around, I believed it."

"Sister-in-law Lu’s medical skills are that good?"

"Smallpox is something even doctors can’t cure, can Sister-in-law Lu truly cure it?" The two Guard’s Wives still couldn’t believe it.

"Why would I lie to you? If you don’t believe it, you can go to the Guard District Hospital and see. Ah! Talking about this, I almost forgot the important thing." Sister-in-law He slapped her head and continued: "It’s like this, after seeing Sister-in-law Lu’s medical skills, Sister-in-law Zhang, Juanzi, and I thought about getting closer to her to learn some of her strengths. Then Sister-in-law Lu said if we really want to learn, we should learn something we’re interested in. We then expressed our desire to learn to read."

Pausing for a moment, Sister-in-law He continued: "Sister-in-law Lu suggested that we, the Guard’s Wives, together apply to the authorities to arrange a teacher to teach us how to read. The teacher’s salary would be shared by those of us who want to learn to read. I’m asking you whether you would like to learn to read."

"This is a good suggestion, but I’m not sure how much the tuition will be, or how much time we need to spend everyday on learning to read, it can’t take too much time," Sister-in-law Li said. The most crucial aspect was whether the tuition was expensive or not.

"Last time I looked for a job, they required being able to read. If we can really get a teacher to teach us to read, I want to sign up," Sister-in-law Wang said. Ever since Lin Helian started working at the sales point, their family life had been getting better, and she often saw them eating meat. Thinking about those juicy pieces of braised pork made her swallow her saliva.

Sister-in-law He nodded smilingly, "I heard that Xiao Lin next door to you was able to join the sales point because he could read."

"Then I’ll sign up too," Sister-in-law Li spoke. She lived next to Xiao Lin’s family and had seen the changes in their household. It was said that Xiao Lin earned more than fifty yuan this time, including bonuses and salary. If she could read, maybe she could find a job too.

"Alright! I’ll keep a note for you guys. I’ll go ask some other Guard’s Wives as well," Sister-in-law He said smilingly. The more Guard’s Wives that sign up, the less tuition each would have to pay.

"I don’t have much else to do anyway, I’ll help you ask around as well," Sister-in-law Wang said. Her thoughts were similar to Sister-in-law He’s.

"Count me in too," Sister-in-law Li said with a laugh. She needed to recruit a few more Guard’s Wives!

"Let’s split up then."

"Alright!" The three of them quickly went their separate ways.
