Chapter 37 -37 Conditions for Brothers to Attend School_1
Xia Ningxing couldn’t help but frown as her mother’s preference for daughters over sons was too strong, which was unacceptable, “Mom, I know you don’t like the brothers and thus don’t want them to go to school, but ‘within books, there are houses of gold.’ If the brothers could get an education with their intelligence, they’d surely find good jobs and make lots of money!”
“Then they could provide for you in old age and for me too!”
In order to get her brothers to school, Xia Ningxing tried to appeal to their emotions and reason, her rosy little mouth non-stop in movement.
Mrs. Xia’s expression began to soften a bit, “That seems to make some sense.”
However, she was not swayed because her sons could provide for her in her old age but because she felt she couldn’t take care of Bao’er all her life, yet her brothers, who were about her age, could stay with her for life and take care of her for life.
Seeing this, Xia Ningxing immediately threw a look at her brothers, signaling them to plead as well.
The brothers were quick to catch on, now with snot and tears, each word sincere.
“Mom, please let us go to school. We will work hard to repay you and our sister in the future.”
“Please, Mom.”
“Let us go to school, Mom. We’ll be forever grateful to you and our sister.”
All five brothers had eyes full of desire for schooling; for people like them, only education was the way to change their fate.

No one wanted to stay in this insignificant mountain village forever, nor did they want to toil in the fields, facing the loess and turning their backs to the sky for the rest of their lives.
“Mom, just agree!” Seeing her still hesitating, Xia Ningxing simply turned on the charm, her clear apricot eyes twinkling, filled with hope.
“Ah! You child!” Mrs. Xia couldn’t help but sigh, unable to withstand their nagging, she finally gave in, “Alright, if you want me to agree, it’s not impossible, but you have to write a pledge to me first!”
With that, Mrs. Xia lifted her eyes and glared at the several “stinky boys” before her.
“What kind of pledge?” Xia Ningxing couldn’t help but frown.
Mrs. Xia replied, “It’s that your five brothers must sign and promise that they will give nine-tenths of their future earnings to you!”
Hearing this, Xia Ningxing almost fainted, such an unequal treaty was just too much!
If Mrs. Xia weren’t her own mother, she probably would have started cursing by now.
Growing up in such an unequal family can cause great psychological shadows on a child, and it is very likely to lead to psychological problems later on. She didn’t want her brothers to be burdened with such issues.
“No way, Mom, that’s absolutely not okay, too excessive!!!” Xia Ningxing would never let her own brothers sign such a thing.
It was downright oppressive and humiliating!
But before she could finish, the five brothers interrupted her.
“Mom, we agree!”
“Even if you didn’t say it, Mom, when we earn money in the future, we will never forget our sister’s great kindness!”
“Right!”
“We will never forget our sister!”
The five brothers said in unison, clearly having made up their minds.
“Brothers!” Xia Ningxing stood aside, her little face almost creased into a chrysanthemum, sighing continuously, idiots, a bunch of big idiots!
Why are there such dumb brothers in the world!
“Then it’s settled,” Mrs. Xia said with a huff, glancing at them dismissively before suddenly softening her tone and tenderly saying to Xia Ningxing with lowered brows, “Bao’er, since you can read, help Mom write five pledges.”
After finishing, as if something came to mind, Mrs. Xia added, “And don’t you think about fooling me because I can’t read. I can have someone who can read check it.”
Xia Ningxing couldn’t help but hold her forehead, knowing that if Mrs. Xia said she could do something, she definitely would, so she had to abandon any idea of tampering with the pledges.
“I understand, Mom.”
Oh well, what does it matter if they sign such an oppressive and humiliating agreement? In the end, she just wouldn’t take her brothers’ money.
