Sisters in the Deep Forest Valley: Many Fun Things

Chapter 233 2 versus 1

Ah Hua's calm expression made Ah Shu feel as if he were being pricked by a needle.

If Dad and Mom were still alive, would they have made my sister give up her talent and the things she wanted to do...?

His eyes were red-rimmed, and his voice trembled slightly.

“Ahua, if your parents knew how good you are at studying, they would have let you go to school even if they had to work day and night to earn money. So your brother hopes the same way!”

The last words seemed to be spoken to Ahua, but also to himself.

Ahua was momentarily stunned, realizing she hadn't heard anyone mention her parents in a long time. If her parents knew, would they also want her to go to school?

Even if it costs so much money, even if outsiders say that sending a girl to school is just being a busybody?

Ahua's heart was slightly shaken.

“Ahua, let’s not think about anything right now. Just tell me, do you want to go to school? Do you want to continue studying those books?” Ashu knew his sister’s personality well.

She's such a young child, yet she's incredibly intelligent and has experienced so much. Therefore, she always thinks more, worries more, and is much more mature than children her age.

Ahua was left feeling dizzy from her brother's two thought-provoking questions.

"But, but I..."

"Ahua, do you like studying?"

Ahua had too many "buts" she wanted to say, but her brother's question about whether she liked studying seemed to shut down all her reasons.

She could lie to everyone and say that she didn't want to go to school.

But she couldn't deceive herself that when she picked up the book and pointed to the words that smelled of ink, the words seemed to dance a joyful melody on her fingertips.

That joy, delight, and happiness that emanated from within...

It's as if all the beautiful words in the world can't fully express what's on those yellowed pages!

Do you like reading?

She was stunned for a moment before murmuring, "I like it."

Ah Shu grinned, showing his teeth, "As long as she likes it, as long as my sister likes it."

He looked at the two sisters and said firmly again, "Sister Chunyi, Sister Lanshan, we've discussed it and decided that Ahua will go to school next July! I will work hard to earn money and will definitely pay you back as soon as possible."

"No, no, no, Sister Chunyi, Sister Lanshan, could you give my chance to my brother so he can go to school?" Ahua asked with some difficulty.

For a moment, she wanted to speak and agree.

But a moment later, she regained her senses and realized that even if she had a good memory and learned quickly, there were too many things in this world that she couldn't touch, and some things had been restricted from her since birth.

Therefore, it is more meaningful for the older brother to go to school than for her to go!

Lin Chunyi was stunned. Ashu's talent and interest in learning seemed... Could he meet the standards for being admitted to Changsong Private School?

She was speechless for a moment, "This, this."

Ashu quickly shook his head and waved his hands, saying that wouldn't work.

"Ahua, you have no idea how much trouble your brother was when he was learning to read. His head was always throbbing! His eyes would light up whenever he saw a word! No way, I don't want to memorize those things!"

Like most children, Ashu probably envies others who can go to school and study properly.

But he was only envious; in fact, he wasn't very interested in studying and genuinely didn't like learning.

If he goes to school, that would be a waste of money!

Ahua looked at her brother with a troubled expression, feeling as if her heart was being torn in two.

Half of the time, tell her what a great opportunity it is, how she has been dreaming of wearing a school uniform and studying with books in her arms, and tell her to quickly agree!

Half of the time, he told her that it should be her brother who was in charge of the schoolwork, and how could she pretend to be stupid and accept this burden that her brother shouldn't have to bear?

Lin Chunyi saw Ahua gritting her teeth and clenching her fists under her sleeves, and knew that she was having a very difficult time making a decision.

He then said, "You two shouldn't even think about it. You still have more than half a year to consider and work hard to earn money. Why are you in such a hurry to make a decision? It's not like I'm asking you to give me an answer tomorrow."

He clapped his hands again to change the subject, saying, "Alright, the kitchen is almost cleaned up. Let's go to the backyard and see how your kung fu practice is going, and whether you've regressed!"

Her tone was icy, as if she would punish the brother and sister if she wasn't satisfied today.

Sure enough, Ashu quickly stood up straight. "Sister Chunyi, I've been practicing diligently every day!"

Lin Chunyi raised an eyebrow and smiled: "Talk is cheap. Come on, let's spar a bit, and I'll know."

A-Shu stared wide-eyed, pointed to his own nose, and suddenly raised his voice: "Me? Me, spar? Me, Sister Chunyi, spar a couple of times?"

Is there something wrong with his ears? This is like sending someone who has just learned how to fight to the battlefield and take the enemy's head...

Lin Chunyi, the "head," ignored the incredulous and shocked expression on his face.

Then, glancing at Ahua who was still standing there in a daze, he joked, "Come on, what are you still standing there for, Ahua? Have you been slacking off lately?"

Ahua snapped out of her daze and quickly shook her head, replying, "No, no, Sister Chunyi, do I want to spar with you too?"

Well, even if he were alone, or even with his brother in a two-on-one fight, he'd probably be beaten to the ground.

She chuckled and said, "Of course not, it's the two of you, fight me together!" Then she turned and walked towards the backyard.

Lin Lanshan gave them a thumbs-up and then they left together.

Ashu and Ahua followed at the very back. Although the expressions on their faces looked just like those of silly geese, completely dumbfounded.

But inside, my heart was screaming: Yang Yu, please come back! Just the two of us alone, I'm afraid we won't last much longer...

In the open space in the backyard, after stretching their bodies, Ashu and Ahua had already gotten into position.

Lin Chunyi stood between them, hands on her hips, and said loudly, "This is just an ordinary martial arts competition. There are no rules or time limits."

Just one rule: as long as your fists and feet can touch me, it's over, and you win!

So Ashu casually asked, "Sister Chunyi, if we win, will there be any reward?"

Win? It seems Ashu is quite a courageous kid after all!

She smiled and said, "Yes, what reward do you want? Just tell me, and I'll do whatever I can."

"Really a reward? A reward, a reward, let me think..." Ashu had only asked casually, but he didn't expect there really was one.

He didn't know what to bring up, so he turned to his younger sister and asked, "Ahua, Sister Chunyi said there's a reward! Is there anything you want?"

At this moment, Ashu was so excited that he completely forgot what he was supposed to do next.

They didn't realize that rewards come with penalties, and were still happily thinking that they would be rewarded if they won.
