Ye Shuying had not considered sending her son to a private school, primarily to save money, as the calculations were quite clear. After all, her family paid for everything. Why not take advantage of a good deal?
She felt that since her son wanted to play, let him play for now—after all, he was only a little over three years old. He could go to her family's home to study when he turned five or six.
Ye Shuying also felt that she and her sisters were not well educated and knew only a few characters. Except for her being a farmer, her husband could still pick up business and earn money, and they could live reasonably well.
Although she couldn't compare to her two younger sisters, she thought, as a woman and a farmer girl, her situation was already good. She felt that her eldest brother hiring a teacher to teach the girls in the family to recognize characters was unnecessary. After all, they were just girls, and knowing more characters was just that—they were still girls.
