Chapter 427 She can't, survival is the priority
"Go to work and don't bother me."

When Fu's mother thought about how she had been so ruthless in teaching her two little ones to recognize characters and recite poems, her scalp tingled with rage.

So, her mischief with the child wasn't enough.

Now they're messing with her own mother again?

"Mom, I'm serious, why don't you learn it? I'll give you money—"

Fu's mother glared at her, "Your money? If I don't study, you won't give it to me?"

“It’s different. That’s money I give you for household expenses. This is money you earned yourself through your own abilities.” Although she could also earn ninety percent of it with tears in her eyes.

If her mother learns hundreds of words in a month.

Then wouldn't she have several ninety-year-olds?
Thinking about it, making money this way without lifting a finger is still pretty wonderful.

"What makes you think you can do that? Your money is your money, why should I earn it from you? Why should I steal it from your pocket and put it in mine? You really have a way of thinking about that." Mrs. Fu didn't want to pay attention to her confused mind.

Then she started to worry a little—had she not used much force?

Won't this damage her brain?

Fu Mingxue: ? ...

How can I explain to her that she made a fortune?
If you learn 100 characters every day, you'll earn 100 yuan every day.

These days, which company pays such high salaries?

"Mom, to be honest, this is a literacy campaign task at my workplace—"

"Alright, stop making things up."

Whoever helps their child learn 100 characters gets 10 yuan for it as part of a literacy campaign?
Fu Mingxue was quite clever; her eyes lit up and she immediately came up with a good idea.

He immediately said righteously, "Mom, the literacy task is real—the ten yuan is fake, it's a bonus I added for you, but the bonus is real. I can get more bonuses later. If you can complete the task of recognizing one to one thousand characters each month, I can get some bonuses, or I can get some oil and rice as encouragement."

Upon hearing this, Madam Fu looked at her with suspicion.

"Are you serious? No, what organization gives rewards for its literacy campaigns?"

How come she's never heard of such a good thing before?
"Of course it's true. This is a task assigned to our group by our leader, to be carried out on a small scale first."

Fu Mingxue is lying through her teeth.

Mother Fu: ...?
"Let me try?"

Anyway, she had nothing better to do. Fu Mingxue's eyes lit up when she saw that she was relenting.

"Try it, Mom, you must try it. Besides, wouldn't it be better if you knew more words yourself? When the two kids are older and go to school, you can help them with their homework."

Mother Fu: ...?
She kept going off on tangents, and her words became increasingly absurd and outrageous.

I don't want to hear it anymore.

"Alright, you should go to work now."

"So what do you think about literacy? Mom, you know we only have one illiterate person in our family—"

These words really offended Fu's mother.

She glared at him, "How am I illiterate? I know a lot of words."

Over the years, while working at that textile factory, she learned quite a few characters.

Fu Mingxue sighed, "Fine, I admit I was wrong. You should think it over carefully. I'm leaving now."

If you can make this money, then make it; if you can't—there's nothing you can do about it.

After all, she can supervise her two children, but she can't force her mother to study.

Mrs. Fu looked disgusted and said, "Get out of here, it hurts my eyes to see you."

Fu Mingxue: ...?
After she pushed her bicycle out and left, Fu's mother really pondered the feasibility of this matter.

If learning to read can help my daughter complete her literacy task, that would be great.

She wouldn't lie to herself, would she?

However, when she picked up the book her daughter had given to the two little ones, she saw the words and felt dizzy.

Forget it, she's not good enough.

Her life is at stake!

Just then, there was a knock on the door, followed by someone calling her, "Is Auntie home?"

When Fu's mother went to open the door, she found that it was actually Director Wang.

It's been so long since I've seen her. Why are you at her house now?
