Li Xingguo: "This year has been quite busy. I'll go back to see my parents in a few days. Your niece's school is pressing her for tuition, so could you transfer the tuition fee to me first? We can't let the child be without a school to attend."

This self-righteous tone immediately enraged the third son. "Am I your daughter's guardian? Or the person in charge of your household? Am I your considerate servant? Or your hardworking maid? My three children don't even know which way the gate of the international school is open, and you expect me to pay your daughter's tuition? Did you kick my head? Or have you gone mad?"

The third brother looked at himself in the mirror. After having a child, his personality had become much more restrained, giving Li Xingguo the illusion that he was an easy person to talk to.

“I’m borrowing money from you, not asking you for it back. I’m not refusing to pay you back. We’re all family, it’s only natural for brothers to lend a hand to each other. You don’t need to be so sarcastic.” Li Xingguo also got a little angry and showed a hint of irritation.

"It's true what they say, only a jerk can say such vile things. What are you going to give me in return? Tell me, you're big and burly like a pig, and you speak in such a gruff voice. Me, mean? What feelings do I have for you? Don't you have any self-awareness? Who are you trying to act like a big brother to?"

The third brother had no kind words, so Li Xingguo hung up the phone and scratched his head in frustration. He thought that the relationship between the brothers had improved over the years, and that the second and third brothers taking this little bit of money was nothing. It seemed that only he thought so.

He returned to his office, pondering. Asking his parents probably wouldn't work; his grandparents, however, offered a glimmer of hope, but they lived with his parents…

Xiaoyuer took a taxi home, while Dong Yun was watching TV at home.

"Girl, why are you back? It's not Friday yet, are you on holiday?" Dong Yun asked in surprise.

Xiaoyuer angrily turned off the TV. "How dare you ask? You didn't pay my tuition, so I was kicked out of school!"

After saying that, she angrily ran back to her room, slammed the door shut, and lay down on the bed, crying loudly.

"Huh? Didn't your dad pay? Let me ask him. Honey, don't cry." Dong Yun frantically called Li Xingguo.

The phone call interrupted Li Xingguo's train of thought. Seeing that it was a call from home, he did not answer.

Li Xingguo didn't answer, and his daughter cried hysterically, so Dong Yun kept calling until Li Xingguo's phone was switched off.

Dong Yun angrily slammed down the phone. What on earth happened? Why didn't they tell her?

"Baby, baby, don't cry. Open the door and tell Mommy what happened," Dong Yun gently knocked on the door, trying to comfort her daughter.

Little Fish just cried and wouldn't say a word no matter how you asked.

Dong Yun was anxious, angry, and heartbroken. She wanted to go find Li Xingguo, but she was also worried about leaving her child at home alone.

"Honey, you're breaking my heart! What happened?!"

Dong Yun knocked on the door for an hour before Xiao Yu'er finally opened it.

"Your eyes are all swollen from crying. What happened? Your dad said he'd figure out how to pay the tuition, but you haven't paid it yet?" Dong Yun said, wiping away her daughter's tears with heartache.

"He didn't pay at all, and today he even told me he wouldn't let me go to international school anymore, Mom~" Little Fish yelled with a wide grin.

Dong Yun quickly hugged his daughter, "Don't cry, don't cry, don't listen to your father, we definitely have to continue this education."

Little Fish sobbed, "How do I read it? My dad said we have no money, no money, how do I read it? Ahh~"

"You have to study even if you don't have money. Don't worry about it, Mom will figure something out for you." Dong Yun was trembling with anger. Not to mention that Xiaoyuer wanted to study, she would never allow her child not to study. Neighbors, relatives and friends, and even former colleagues all knew that she was doing well now and that her child was studying at an international school.

Xiaoyuer hugged Dong Yun and said, "Mom, I knew you were the best, but what will happen to Dad if he doesn't have any money?"
