She Only Cares About Cultivation

Of course, getting into university would be even more extraordinary. Wouldn’t she be able to find a stable job in Dingyuan County?

If luck is on her side, she might even settle her lifelong matters.

Qiuxia is 27 this year, so even with six years of middle and high school, finishing university before 40 isn’t impossible. Caihua wouldn’t be over 35; considering they might live to 60, it’s worth it, right?

However, this idea is not very realistic for them. Perhaps after finishing middle school, they would choose to attend a vocational school instead. University? Not everyone can pass the entrance exams. At their age, the prime time for learning has passed. Honestly, just graduating from middle school is pretty good. If they can’t get into high school, attending a vocational school will still qualify them for factory jobs, which is better than working as a farmer in the countryside.

Back then, vocational school graduates were guaranteed a secure job.

No sooner said than done. With chalk and a blackboard at home, teaching is quite convenient. In her space, she also has paper and pens.

"Before spring starts, don’t do anything else. Just study here. Four classes in the morning and two in the afternoon. After class, you do homework while I supervise. In the evening, you can do whatever you want. Since we’re here to learn, let’s take it seriously and approach it with the same determination as making tofu."

Knowledge can change fate, so let’s start acting on it now!

Qiuxia and Caihua have already seen the changes that knowledge brings. Even the villagers will look at you differently, let alone people from elsewhere.

Their biggest hope in life is not to be judged by others’ bewildered stares. They want to change themselves, to escape from here and start a new life.

The dream Sister An Yi drew for them is too enticing. To help An Ran, they must get into school and settle in the city. Only by obtaining city residency can they secure opportunities for An Ran.

For the sake of their family of four, they’ll fight with everything they’ve got!

Four classes in the morning, An Yi isn’t teaching continuously. Most of the time, she teaches half a class and uses the other half for practice. Only by fully understanding the material can they be efficient.

As the days pass, the villagers notice that An Yi’s home remains closed-off every day, even after the New Year has passed.

When the village chief comes calling, she pretends to be sick, saying, "Her asthma is acting up, and she can’t teach. The two sisters need to help her by looking after the child and taking care of her."

She doesn’t want to attend the literacy class anymore. Instead of mingling with ungrateful people, she’d rather strive for the two sisters.

She wants to make these people regret ever insulting them.

And so, the small classes began quietly.

Little Anran is growing day by day. With sufficient nutrition, she is adorably chubby and rosy.

Whenever she’s present, not only does she not cry or fuss, but she smiles at her, so even when holding her during class, she stays quiet and cooperative.

Even when placed in the sitting basket, she occasionally stands up, showing a smile that can heal anything to her three mothers.

Whenever the three of them see her, it seems all their worries vanish.

Having her around further motivates the three sisters to focus on their studies.

Without textbooks, An Yi uses the knowledge she has accumulated over many lifetimes, presenting it on the blackboard.

From short essays to reading comprehension, from story analysis to classical Chinese text, she can effortlessly recite and transcribe them, leaving Qiuxia and Caihua in awe.

Even though they’ve never attended school, they can sense that Teacher An standing before them is far more than just a teacher...
