Transmigrated & Triumphant: Defying Destiny's Chosen One-Chapter 510 - 48: Remarry Another One_3

Teacher Xiao Zhou listened, and his heart was ablaze.

...

The Zhou Family’s plan, Chu River was not aware of.

She just sat in the corridor, earnestly inquiring about the situation from a few sisters-in-law:

"Does Teacher Xiao Zhou earn a lot? Are they still getting an 18-yuan salary? Have they considered finding a high-paying job?"

The way she said it, it seemed like finding a job was as easy as stepping out the door. Everywhere is the same, each position has its candidate, and genuinely good jobs don’t come to ordinary people.

Sister-in-law Li heard the tone wasn’t too resistant and praised her openness in her heart. She then thoughtfully planned for the child:

"Don’t worry, Teacher Xiao Zhou will definitely be regularized, then they’ll earn 28 yuan a month, almost as much as your brother! And marrying a wife to stay at home means you won’t have to work so hard in the future, there’ll always be someone to give you a hand."

Chu River nodded——

Shi Suifeng’s salary wasn’t that high either, barely enough to support himself, let alone marry a wife... Otherwise, she makes more money and would love someone to lend a hand; can she be the one to marry?

Don’t say women can’t; men and women are equal, she should take this brave first step!

The words hadn’t even left her mouth when Da Dan suddenly rushed out from the room where he had been eavesdropping:

"Auntie, where’s the pencil?"

Chu River instinctively said: "Isn’t it in the drawer?"

"Oh."

Da Dan nodded, looked at the sisters-in-law’s cups, and quickly grabbed the kettle to fill them enthusiastically.

Sister-in-law Li, worried that no one was lightening the mood, couldn’t help but praise:

"Oh my, Teacher Xiao Chu you’re really good at educating children, look how sensible Da Dan is, unlike my rascal son who disappears once he steps out."

Just as Chu River was about to proudly accept the compliment with hands on hips, Da Dan beat her to it:

"Yes, Auntie, my aunt treats me very well, not only me but everyone——By the way, which grade will your Aiguo be in the next semester? I don’t know if it’s hard, my aunt said we should all go to school next semester!"

Oh dear!

The sisters-in-law were stunned.

——5 children, all going to school?

Not to mention that there’d be no one at home to lend a hand, with everything falling on Chu River alone, even the team donkey wouldn’t be burdened like this.

Besides, going to school nowadays costs 3.5 yuan per semester, but you can’t just count the tuition; kids need to buy a pencil and notebooks, that’s also a few dimes and pennies.

children would cost at least 20 yuan a semester.

What can 20 yuan do?

Seeing Teacher Xiao Zhou as a valuable cultural worker, now getting only 18 as a temp, you can understand its value.

Sister-in-law Li sincerely sighed: "Ah, Da Dan, your uncle is really good to you! When you grow up, never forget to be filial to him."

children...

She wanted to suggest maybe sending the two older ones to school first, keeping the younger ones at home for now.

But with the kids here, saying this would be asking for trouble.

But twenty yuan...

As soon as the sisters-in-law thought about it, their breathing grew heavy.

Now Shi Suifeng... it’s hard to say if he’s generous or lacks foresight!

Why be so extravagant?

There was one more understanding the sisters-in-law shared.

When setting up a family, which woman doesn’t want her own child?

The Zhou Family didn’t hide it; their implication was clear: these children can help out, then Teacher Xiao Zhou could have a child, and the older siblings would help raise them.

Otherwise, how could such a good young man not have descendants?

But if all the children go to school...

Sister-in-law Li found it hard to sit still.

In the scorching heat, the sisters-in-law held the cool water as if it were scalding. Half their bottoms were on the small bench, feeling a bit restless.

After a while, they hesitated and said: "Well, Xiao Chu, today we’re just some sisters-in-law coming to chat. This matter isn’t settled yet, don’t mention it to your brother until we’re sure and come to tell you ourselves."

Chu River was puzzled: "It’s okay, if my brother can’t, I can..." marry her!

Yet, the more non-resistant she seemed, the more this household seemed full of pitfalls.

The sisters-in-law genuinely wanted to matchmake well, not introduce an unhappy couple, so they hurriedly placed their cups aside and left in a rush.

Standing outside in the courtyard, the scorching sun shining on their faces, the drying line next to them still had the hurriedly washed cotton bedsheets by Daya hanging——with the coarse cloth, she could remake the sheets tonight, so she quickly washed the old cotton ones, planning to start making a jacket tomorrow.
