Chapter 60 -60: Why should he learn to read if he can hunt?
“Old partner, you and the people from Lao San’s family, as well as He’er should take some time to plow the field. The weather is good this year, it’s not too cold, we need to sow the seeds early, so that the bad weather won’t ruin all our crops.”

“Okay, okay,” Ms. Lu of Lin Family replied.
“Grandpa, there’s another thing I want to discuss with you and Grandma.” Having said all that she had to say, Lin Caisang glanced at her eldest brother before turning her serious gaze to Lin Laogeng.
“It so happens that Third Uncle and Third Aunt are also here, and we can hear their opinions later.”
“What is it?” Lin Laogeng asked.
Intuition told him that what Sangsang was about to say had something to do with the whole family, not just her.
“I want to…”
“Grandpa, I want to save the silver I earn from hunting on the mountain by myself.”
Before Lin Caisang could speak, she heard Lin Changhong take the initiative to speak up, taking all matters into his own hands.
Lin Caisang: “!!!”
What a hasty big brother, is he afraid that Grandpa would slap her when he heard her words? Besides, can’t you phrase it more tactfully?
“What, you really want to embezzle the family’s money?”
Lin Caihe, who had always been treated as invisible, burst into outrage as soon as she heard Lin Changhong’s words, and screamed out loud.
“Grandpa, Grandma, Mom and Dad, look at them, they just don’t want the family to have a good time!”
As she had guessed, Lin Changhong and Lin Caisang wanted to hide private money, which is why she had to eat porridge every day these past few days, almost making herself sick!
“What, embezzle the family’s money?!”
Ms. Lu of Lin Family looked at Lin Caihe unhappily.
“If you can’t speak politely, then shut your mouth. The money in the family is earned by who, then who can spend it. Changhong, what exactly do you mean? Discuss it with me and your Grandpa.”
She knew that this idea could not be only Lin Changhong’s.
“Grandma, it’s my idea.” Lin Caisang spoke up.
“And it’s not like what big brother said, holding all our own earned silver. We also just want to leave some silver at hand for emergencies.
Of course, I want to save some money so that big brother can go to school to learn some characters. Although big brother is already thirteen years old and it might be a little late to start school, being able to read and write is better than being illiterate.”
She looked at Lin Changhong, and then at Lin Laogeng.
“Of course, this is necessary. Changhong should learn to read and write.” Lin Laogeng agreed immediately.
Lin Changhong not being able to attend school was always a matter of concern for him, but with no money in the family to support two grandchildren, he had no choice. Now that Caisang proposed it, he naturally agreed.
“Grandpa, isn’t it enough to have my big brother in the family study? Why does Brother Changhong need to learn to read? Doesn’t he know how to hunt?” Lin Caihe immediately disagreed and spoke up.
The reason she thought she could compete with Lin Caisang was because her big brother was a scholar, a notch above the rest.
But if Lin Changhong also learned to read, and turned out to be even better than her big brother, wouldn’t she be inferior to Lin Caisang again? That’s not acceptable, absolutely not! She firmly disagreed!
However, no one paid any attention to her words.
“Changhong, if you plan to go to school, I will teach you to recognize some characters in these few days, so you can keep up when you go to school.” Lin Changfeng looked at Lin Changhong and said gently.
“Big brother…”
Lin Caihe was anxious. Did her big brother really want to let Lin Changhong go to school to learn to read?
