“No wonder Miss Lici is so notable, her arithmetic skills are outstanding. They say that she was personally tutored by the Clan Leader himself.”

Wang Shouzhe’s face started to heat up; such a student would be hard to handle.

“Not only is Miss Lici exceptional at arithmetic, but she’s also greatly favored by the Clan Leader, who appointed her to oversee the affairs of the Prosperous Farm. This shows exactly how high her standing is within the family, doesn’t it?”

Oversee affairs? Wang Shouzhe stared blankly, when did he appoint her to oversee things? Could it be, he was getting senile?

Right, I sent you here to experience hardship, yet you’re here living the life of luxury.

“The Clan Leader is truly a master at utilizing talents, our Wang family is sure to prosper.”

The children of the tenant farmers, or the non-direct descendants of the Wang family, began heaping flattering compliments onto Wang Licui, going overboard with their praises.

This flattery made Wang Licui feel like she was floating on the cloud, leading her to just chill out on the Taishi Chair. There she layed relaxedly, gnawing on a large chicken leg, and declaimed, “I’m not worthy, I’m not worthy! It’s all thanks to Fourth Uncle regularly teaching me well.”

This…

Wang Shouzhe could not tolerate listening to this anymore, was this really how he instructed her usually? The phrase “I’m not worthy” was more fitting for me, her Fourth Uncle!

“Right, before leaving, Fourth Uncle repeatedly admonished me, ‘Lici, you must study hard and do your homework diligently.’” Wang Licui turned serious immediately, “I, Wang Licui, greatly value the expectations and kindness of Fourth Uncle. I absolutely cannot be negligent with my daily homework.”

“Miss Lici is indeed diligent, her future prospects are immeasurable.”

“Miss, which passage are we reading today?” A girl from a side branch of the Wang family asked cautiously.

?

Wang Shouzhe’s steps halted again, and a warm current welled up from within his heart. Our big girl of the house, although loves to eat, lazy, and shameless, she still listens to me. At least she knows that she must diligently study every day.

“We will read the classic piece ‘The Clan Leader says’. It is a famous piece by a great past Clan Leader. It is said that understanding it can benefit family management greatly. In the future, I will be responsible for the major tasks of our family.”

Wang Shouzhe silently nodded. This is a good choice. It contains many wise sayings, and it is a model for managing the family and its traditions. It seems that the big girl still has the will to improve herself after all.

Then, that girl from another branch of the Wang family started to read aloud: “The Clan Leader says: managing a large clan is like cooking small fish… The Clan Leader says: when taking a wife, one should marry a wise one, as a husband is the wife’s guide, and the wife is the child’s guide…”

Excellent, excellent!

Wang Shouzhe had just nodded a couple of times when he suddenly noticed something odd – why didn’t the voice sound right?

He peered around to see that girl from the side branch of the Wang family reading whilst swinging her head from left to right. Meanwhile, big girl Wang Licui was half-listening while chomping on a chicken leg, occasionally shaking her head in a ridiculously exaggerated manner. Soon after, she fell asleep with a chicken leg in her mouth…

Not only did she fall asleep, but she was also taking occasional bites of the chicken leg, with a satisfied smile on her face. It seemed as if these days she was completely carefree.

Wang Shouzhe stood there, even though it was midsummer, he felt like he had been doused with a bucket of cold water, chilling him from head to toe. Studying hard!

So this is Wang Licui’s idea of studying hard!

This child, can she be any more difficult?

He just couldn’t deal with her anymore. Maybe he should send her to a mine?

Wang Shouzhe thought if he allowed Wang Licui to continue flaunting herself in front of him, it was bound to take years off his life.

He really couldn’t stand her anymore.

Wang Shouzhe stepped out from beside the straw hut, strolling towards the pavilion with his hands behind his back.

The side branch girl who had been reading was quick-eyed and seemed to have seen Wang Shouzhe before. Her face changed instantly and she hurriedly went forward to pay her respects, “Wang Juan, paying my respects to the Clan Leader.”

Upon hearing that the Clan Leader had arrived, the other young people from the side branches and tenant farmers were all shell-shocked, and hurriedly came forward to pay their respects, “Paying our respects to the Clan Leader.” “Everyone, please rise.” Wang Shouzhe replied warmly, “I just came to visit Lici. Oh my, how has this child ended up asleep so early in the morning?”

All the attendants turned pale, not daring to say a word.

Wang Juan turned pale as well, whispering stutteringly, “Mi..Miss Licui stayed up late reading last night. She had to wake up early to catch Spirit Rats for the tenant farmers from the Spirit Field. She might just be tired.”

“You’re called Wang Juan, do you know me?” Wang Shouzhe asked noncommittally.

“Replying to the Clan Leader,” Wang Juan answered honestly, “I saw you before at the Clan School.”

Clan School.

Yes, that’s the internal school of the Wang family. Besides the direct descendants, children of the head of household and so on, the more outstanding children from the side branches can also study at the Clan School. Or to put it another way, most of the students at the Clan School currently belong to the side branches. There aren’t many direct descendants in total anyways.

After the children from the side branches have learned something, most of them will get involved in various industries of the Wang family and become key players. Those with exceptional abilities will gradually become Principals, Chief Principals and so on, as they get older and accumulate experience.

“Hmm, you have good command over your readings, you must have put in a lot of effort. Keep up the good work. The family needs talents in every field for it to develop,” Wang Shouzhe nodded in praise. If a family wants to develop, it cannot do without talent.

Wishing to become integral members, having culture is essential. It’s not possible that someone illiterate takes on the role of Principal or Chief Principal, right?

Being praised and remembered by the Clan Leader made Wang Juan’s face flush with excitement. She hurriedly thanked him, “Wang Juan will definitely work hard.”

Next, Wang Shouzhe strolled up to Wang Licui.

“Roar~~” Little Hatchet Flower, who had never seen Wang Shouzhe before, sensed from her fierce beast instincts that this human was very dangerous. She stepped front, guarding Wang Licui.
