In the afternoon, Qin Zhenzhen and Su Bin arrived back at Qian Village.
Following dinner, Su Bin convened a gathering with his siblings.
“Zhenzhen and I are planning to head to the prefecture in a few days.”
“As I mentioned earlier, we’ve acquired a spacious house in the prefecture. It’s large enough to accommodate the entire family.”
“Furthermore, Zhenzhen intends to lease a space within the prefectural city to establish a workshop for crafting seasonings and soy sauce. She also envisions setting up a wellness center.”
“Sixth Sister and Fourth Brother have expressed their desire to learn from Zhenzhen. They’re determined to accompany us to the prefecture, unless they have a change of heart.”
Su Qing and Su Ning declared, “Our minds are set. We’re committed to going to the prefecture.”
Qin Zhenzhen nodded affirmatively. “As long as you’re willing to learn, I’ll certainly provide my guidance.”
Turning to Su Cheng, Su Bin addressed him, “I’m contemplating enrolling you in studies.”
In the past, financial constraints prevented him from funding his siblings’ education. However, he was now in a position to afford it and couldn’t allow his Fifth Brother to remain uneducated.
Su Qing, on the other hand, was an exception, having already pursued two years of studies.
Su Cheng felt a pang of distress. “Third Brother, could I possibly forgo education?”
Su Bin responded with seriousness, “No!”
“Even if your aspirations don’t involve reaching higher educational tiers, you must undergo two years of study initially.”
“Acquiring the ability to read and write broadens your horizons significantly. Regardless of your future path, you won’t be susceptible to avoidable errors due to illiteracy.”
“Remember, our father chose to depart from the Marquis Mansion due to his principles, but every individual needs skills to bolster those principles.”
“It’s only by empowering ourselves that we can provide solace to our father in the afterlife.’
Su Bin’s intentions were crystal clear to everyone.
Su Cheng cast his gaze downward in a mixture of understanding and embarrassment. “I understand. I will follow your guidance, Third Brother.”
Simultaneously, a sigh of relief escaped him. Thankfully, his Third Brother hadn’t stipulated advancing to the next educational level.
His dread primarily revolved around the task of memorizing words. He’d rather trek into the mountains to gather two liang of firewood than commit to memorizing a single page of text and writing it out.
However, he did concede that his Third Brother was correct.
Their circumstances had shifted, rendering their former low-key approach obsolete. Their conviction rested in securing sustenance, a feat they considered paramount.
Having declined the proposition to return to the Marquis Mansion, they aspired to demonstrate their ability to lead a splendid life without relying on ancestral resources.
In the end, Su Bin posed a question to them. “Sister and Second Brother, you’re willing to accompany us to the prefecture, right? It would be ideal if we could stay together as a family.”
Su Bin wasn’t entirely certain about his brother’s inclinations.
Being family, he shouldn’t intrude excessively into his brother’s affairs.
If his Second Brother still held affections for him, Su Bin could merely offer advice rather than impose directives concerning his circle of friends.
His Second Brother had a fiery temperament and a stubborn disposition, which sometimes proved exasperating among their siblings.
Should his Second Brother decide against joining them, Su Bin felt at a loss regarding his next steps.
In contrast, when it came to their sister, Su Bin perceived her as relatively easier to arrange.
She displayed diligence, proficiently managing household chores and tending to the children. In due course, if a suitable suitor emerged, she could potentially seek matrimony and establish a new household.
He could even facilitate his sister’s learning under Qin Zhenzhen’s guidance.
In the event that arranging a favorable marriage for his sister proved challenging, they could actively seek a suitable husband for her. In due course, he envisioned gifting her a home and a shop, ensuring she never endured mistreatment again..
