The third sister-in-law is named Liu Ting. In 1946, she was 19 years old, five years younger than the Third Brother (who was 24), and two years older than her. Entering the year 46, she was already 16 years old.
However, in the autumn, rather than entering the second year of high school, she skipped to the third year.
The Third Brother had already skipped to the fifth grade. Because the third sister-in-law found a teacher for him to tutor, he made rapid progress. After finishing this year, he would be able to graduate from junior school.
The second sister and the ninth and tenth younger brothers had also entered the fourth grade, which was considered jumping a grade as well.
The third sister-in-law had a monthly salary of 300 yuan in the primary school, equivalent to thirty silver coins. Compared to the betrothal gift, the Liu Family was quite genuine.
