36 Guilt

Chu Ziluo did not have a good marriage in Chu Heng's previous life. Although he had helped her vent her anger in her husband's family, it had affected their relationship. He could not help but feel guilty toward this child.

"If you want to study, Father will teach you." Chu Heng reached out and patted Chu Ziluo's head.

He became gentle, which was rare.

Chu Ziluo looked at him timidly. "Father, I want to ask mother first."

"Your mother wants to learn too." Chu Heng did not know how he had suddenly said this, but he did not regret it after he finished speaking. He even thought about it for a while.

He thought about it. If Madam Ye could read in her previous life, would those stupid things not have happened?

For example, Madam Ye was deceived by a servant and got a loan, but she did not even know what was written on the document. She just put her fingerprint as she was told.

This kind of disaster was really brought about by not being able to read.

Although he had already decided to separate.

However, if Madam Ye could learn how to read, it would make her life easier in the future. At least, she would not be unable to even protect her wealth.

"Really?" Chu Ziluo asked excitedly.

Looking at the smile on his daughter's face, Chu Heng gently nodded his head. "Okay, just learn without worry."

"Thank you, Father!" Chu Ziluo was very happy. She felt that her parents were doing well today. She hoped that her parents would be the same in the future. She would be the happiest child in the village.

Since Chu Heng had decided to teach Chu Ziluo how to read, he would not give up halfway.

Seeing that there's still a while to go before dinner, he first brought out the 'Hundred Family Surnames' and taught Chu Ziluo the words that were closest to life.

"So my surname is Chu, and it's written like this." Chu Ziluo looked at it very seriously. After a while, she could write her surname in a crooked manner. Of course, it was ugly and it was almost a mess.

"Not bad, keep working hard." Chu Heng nodded and praised.

Chu Ziluo was elated to receive such praise.

Chu Jin was extremely envious at the side. Thinking about it carefully, it seemed like his father had never praised him before. Every time he came back, he would scold him.

Chu Jin was a little disappointed. Children loved to compare between themselves. After being discouraged for a while, he regained his spirit and wrote a few words on the paper.

He said it loudly to attract Chu Heng and Chu Ziluo's attention.

"Sis, I even know how to write your name."

"Look, look."

Chu Jin was afraid that the two of them could not see it, so he quickly placed the paper in the middle.

He thought that his father and sister should be able to see it now.

Chu Ziluo only knew Chu Zi now. She pointed at the other two words and read them in order, "Chu, Zi, Luo, little brother, the two words at the back, are the two words Zi and Luo?"

"Yes, look, this word is very simple. It's just two strokes."

"But this Luo is more complicated, similar to Chu. However, I've already written it out," Chu Jin said proudly.

"Wow, you're so good." Chu Ziluo praised.

Chu Jin straightened his chest in satisfaction and said proudly, "Of course."

"But I still don't know how to write or read, so I have to continue learning." It was rare for Chu Jin to be humble.

"Brother, you're already very good," Chu Ziluo said. "I only know two words now. I haven't memorized the word 'Luo' yet."

"Little brother, study hard. In the future, if I don't understand anything, I'll ask you, okay?"

Chu Jin originally felt that reading and writing were not fun at all. It was much better to buy snacks and toys.

However, when he saw the look of admiration in Chu Ziluo's eyes, he suddenly remembered that every time the elders in the village mentioned his father, they would have the same expression.
