I don't know who let the cat out of the bag, but suddenly the whole village knew that Qin Yao was planning to support Liu Ji in returning to the academy.
The men in the village felt both envious and jealous of Liu Ji, wondering how he could get such a good thing.
The women couldn't understand why Qin Yao was being so good to Liu Ji, who was nothing but a fool.
Of course, there were also those who mocked the couple for their unrealistic dream, thinking that studying would lead to fame and fortune. Many people study till they're old and can't even pass the child student exam. They saw it as a joke.
The Liu Family's old house was abuzz with discussion. Old Liu and his three sons discussed the matter for a long time, while He and the pregnant Mrs. Qiu took the opportunity while picking vegetables to visit Qin Yao at the water mill.
