Chapter 576 - 574: They’ve Set Their Sights on Us Right After the Separation
Wang Yongzhu had not expected Wang Yonggui to have such insight, actually considering sending the children to study.
If they weren’t going to divide the family, she had also planned, once the New Year had passed, to send Jinpan and Jinguan to study, and then they would come back to teach Jinhua.
The Wang brothers, including Wang Yongzhu as well as Jindou and Jinhoo, because of Wang Yongan, all had a cursory recognition of a few characters; Jinhoo was even smarter and could write and calculate as well.
If the Wang Family had been in better circumstances back then, Jinhoo might have followed and spent a few years in school, but regrettably, at the time, the Wang Family’s circumstances only allowed for Wang Yongan alone to be supported.
Even so, Jinhoo had secretly put in the effort to learn to read and write, or else all the writing for everyday things around the house now would not be in his handwriting.
Wang Yongzhu had been pampered at home before, and in order to please Old Granny Zhang, Wang Yongan had indeed given her some rudimentary education, at the very least teaching her a few hundred characters and a little writing—although it wasn’t very good looking, for a peasant family, this was already quite extraordinary.
Because of laziness, the former Wang Yongzhu did not want to do any work, which suited her just fine, as she could learn how to recognize characters while relaxing and maintaining her dignity, indeed memorizing a few hundred characters.
However, starting from Jinguan, Wang Yongan was no longer at home, having become a Scholar, so there was no one to teach them.
Jinhoo was indeed willing to teach his little brother, but Jinguan felt that learning this could hardly compare to running around the hills with his playmates, and was adamantly against it.
There was also Lady Lin, a doting and shortsighted mother, so it amounted to nothing.
In the third branch of the family, it was because Wang Yonggui was not at home that Jinpan and Jinhua learned to recognize their own names following Jinhoo.
