Qiao Yanhui’s expression changed. Since these two brothers were so considerate of their sister, he would help them!
Qu Feng and Xu Jiangxi were deeply touched by this scene. Their family was so different from how it was like in the past. They should support their children and not drag them down!
Xu Xiang wasn’t to be outdone. “I will also help you. I want to learn medicine.”
Xu Qing knew that recently, Xu Xiang had been carrying around a medical book that she could not understand. If she didn’t understand, she would ask. It was already very rare for a five-year-old child to have such willpower.
“Alright, I’ll send you to school too.” Xu Qing pinched Xu Xiang’s soft face.
However, they had to go to town for school. It was also because of the school that there were so many extraordinary forces in such a small town. In any world, these future pillars were the most important. However, there was one thing that Xu Qing found troublesome, because the school in this place didn’t accept girls! Generally, girls married early, and the only few female schools were founded by the royal family.
Those noble families would send their daughters over and teach them all sorts of etiquette, chess, calligraphy, and painting, all for the sake of a better marriage prospect.
Xu Qing wasn’t satisfied with this. Why should women become accessories to please men?
Xu Qing didn’t want her sister to become a woman who only knew how to play tricks and rely on men! That would be too sad.
“Actually, she can be homeschooled.” Qiao Yanhui looked at Xu Qing’s expression and understood her scruples.
“That’s a good idea!” Xu Qing’s eyes lit up. This way, Xu Xiang wouldn’t be affected.
Qiao Yanhui smiled. She knew that Xu Qing had always been very creative!
It was rare for Xu Sizhi to come back early tonight. Xu Qing’s heart ached when she saw his increasingly haggard expression. He was still a 14-year-old boy.
“Sizhi, go study with Xu Huai and the others tomorrow,” Xu Qing said.
Moreover, Xie Pengyang was about to come out. She would leave the restaurant to Xie Pengyang to handle. As for the rest, the Dark Night Army could help her handle them.
“Thank you, Sister, but I don’t need it. I… I can read.” Xu Sizhi was very grateful.
Xu Qing looked at Xu Sizhi in confusion.
Xu Sizhi smiled and said, “Before I was chased out of the house, I learned how to read. Perhaps it was because I was too smart that that woman felt threatened…”
Xu Qing knew that Xu Sizhi had an unresolved grudge, so she didn’t persuade him to let it go. She sighed as she said, “Since you have your own plans, I won’t interfere. However, remember that you still have us.”
Xu Sizhi’s eyes were filled with tears. He had a family now. He would protect himself well so his family wouldn’t be sad!
“Since my brothers are going to study, I’ll assign a pageboy to accompany them and protect them.” Xu Sizhi thought that now, in the eyes of outsiders, Xu Qing’s relationship with Mr. Bei Shu seemed to have become increasingly close. Those people lurking in the dark definitely wouldn’t let it go.
“You’re right.” Xu Qing nodded. She had neglected this matter.
“Yes, before I acquired the Night Army, I found some homeless orphans. They’re quite capable now, so they can follow my brothers to protect them.” When Xu Qing said that she wanted to build a faction, Xu Sizhi’s first thought was those orphans who had helped him. He also wanted to help them and give them a livelihood.
It was a dangerous way to make a living, but it was better than starving. Of course, they would be doing so willingly, and he wasn’t going to force them.
Xu Qing wasn’t surprised since she had already guessed it. She nodded as she looked at the youth who had contributed so much to this family and she felt very grateful, even though they were helping each other.
The next day, Xu Qing brought her two younger brothers to take the entrance examination. Because Xu Qing didn’t want to waste their talents, she went to the best school in town, Honglu School. She hoped that they would learn a lot, although they would definitely be under a lot of pressure. After all, there were many talents here. She didn’t want them to become cocky over small achievements.
However, Xu Qing missed out on something. How could one enter the best academy just because one wanted to?
After Xu Qing sent her brothers in, she observed the situation around the academy.
The environment here was quite good. There was a small bookstore around and a few tea houses…
“Why are you here?” Suddenly, a resentful male voice sounded in Xu Qing’s ear.
This voice made Xu Qing frown slightly. She turned around and saw a few rich children standing at the school gate with a few lackeys. The person who spoke was one of the lackeys, and he looked familiar.
Xu Qing raised her eyebrows, indicating that she didn’t know him.
