Chapter 116 Asking for Money
Sprint class! Give it a try!
Isn’t this just coming back to ask for money?
When Ding Guixiang heard this, her head became even bigger.
But there was no other way. When she sent her daughter to study in the county, she was determined that she must go to college. As long as her daughter asked for help in her studies, she would find ways to support her.
Can……
"How much will you want this time?"
Seeing Ding Guixiang's reluctance, Meng Danhong complained, "What do you mean by 'again'? I haven't participated in any sprint classes before. You don't know that most of my classmates are taking such classes outside. Some of them are better off and have teachers teach them privately. For someone like me who just randomly signs up for a class, it's already the minimum standard."
Parents in cities value learning and are willing to spend money on it. Also, because they have jobs and a stable source of income, the educational resources they can provide for their children are definitely better than those in rural areas.
Meng Danhong spent much more money every month studying there than in town, but she really didn't spend it recklessly.
Their school has a special cafeteria, with meat and vegetables for three meals a day. The monthly expenses for food alone are not small. In addition, some extracurricular study books are specifically required by the teachers, and sometimes they are used in lectures, so they have to buy them.
Meng Danhong also tried to soak only two taels of rice in soup, but she was at the age of growing up and the pressure of studying was too great, so she couldn't stand it at all. She was so hungry that she felt dizzy every day.
Coming to a strange environment, with no relatives or friends, average grades, and not enough money to spend, Meng Danhong was unable to adapt in many ways. She began to dislike studying and regretted her decision to go to school in the county.
But now that I'm here, what can I do? I'll just leave it at that. There's still about half a year left, so I'll just hold it in and finish it.
Meng Danhong no longer has any hope of getting into university. She feels that she won't even be able to pass the preliminary exam.
Meng Danhong had no choice but to sign up for a cram class this time, as the final exam was approaching. If she didn't make a sprint, she was afraid that the teacher would ask her to invite her parents, and her true results would be exposed.
Meng Danhong was attending high school in the city, so Ding Guixiang naturally kept a close eye on her daughter.
The concern is not about her daughter's studies. After all, Ding Guixiang herself has little education and cannot even recognize all the characters, so she cannot supervise her daughter's studies at all.
What she cares about most is her daughter's report card and her test scores.
When she first arrived there, Meng Danhong reported the results truthfully. When Ding Guihua heard that her daughter did not do well in the exam, she got angry and slapped her daughter on the head and twisted her ears.
Later, Meng Danhong couldn't stand it anymore, so she started lying about her scores and tampering with her transcripts.
Ding Guixiang was a little happier when she saw her daughter's grades gradually improving, and she was more willing to take her living expenses.
But fake is fake, and as long as the school communicates with her family, she will be exposed.
This time I asked for money, it was indeed for studying.
Meng Danhong said this with confidence.
Ding Guixiang said, "Didn't I use my money to buy you books in the past two months? Why do you still need to take this sprint class? If you take this sprint class, how will you attend school?"
Meng Danhong: "I only have two classes at night, and I still go to school during the day. Mom, I told you anyway, if you want me to go, then go. If you don't want to, forget it. If my grades get bad, just don't hit me."
Ding Guixiang: "How much do you want?"
"Half a month, fifteen dollars."
This cost fifteen dollars, and my heart ached, but when I thought about my daughter's college entrance examination, I gritted my teeth and gave it.
The next weekend was the day when the Meng family moved their workshop.
Early in the morning, Meng Changli drove the rented donkey cart back and started putting things on it.
At first it was cloth, and after two carts, it was sewing machines and racks, as well as daily necessities for her and her three daughters, wooden boxes, quilts and the like.
Starting today, Meng Changli will move to the town with her two children. When she came back from outside yesterday, she had already bought a bed, a second-hand wooden bed that some people in the village had left over. It was cheap and usable.
The bed was a large item, so we found an ox cart and asked two strong laborers from the village who had a good relationship with us to help.
The whole family went with the move this time. The two little kids were quite excited when they heard that they would live in town from now on.
The two kids just love to have fun. There are food and fun things to do in the town, so they must be happy.
Gu Yue felt unhappy when he saw the two little sisters of the Meng family sitting on the donkey cart and about to leave.
From now on, I won't be able to eat candy anymore! After moving all the things, Meng Shulan locked the gate and pushed her bicycle to go to town. When she turned around, she saw Gu Yue sitting on the stone dam steps below, propping up his chin and sighing.
Meng Shulan found it funny that the little guy had such a sad look on his face like an adult, so she went over to ask Gu Yue, "Are you unhappy?"
Gu Yue glanced at Meng Shulan and said, "I guess so."
What does it mean to count?
Meng Shulan felt that Gu Yue and Gu Hansong were quite similar, and their tone of voice was exactly the same.
Meng Shulan smiled, "Are you unhappy because Hui Na and Si Jia left and there is no one to play with? It's okay, they will come back when they are free. You can go and play with them when you go to town in the future."
Meng Shulan said this and took out another chocolate and gave it to her.
There was only one left from what her brother brought back last time, and she had never been willing to eat it.
When Gu Yue saw the candy, he smiled and immediately peeled it and put it in his mouth.
"Sister Shulan, this is candy. Last time I saw my uncle staring at this candy in a daze. I asked him for it, but he refused to give it to me. He even lied to me and said it was a pill. After all the trouble, he just didn't want to give it to me and ate it secretly."
Gu Yue pouted her lips again, feeling that her uncle had become a child as well, secretly hiding candies to eat.
Pills? Staring at the candy in a daze! Meng Shulan was stunned when she heard it, and her face turned red after she realized it.
The last time I gave Gu Hansong chocolate, I was thinking that he would try it and then take one to Gu Yue. Who would have thought that he didn't give any to him and kept them for himself.
Meng Shulan held her forehead with her hand, her face was burning badly, and she didn't know what to say for a moment.
Fortunately, Gu Yue didn’t understand these things and couldn’t feel her embarrassment.
Just at this time, Meng Danhong came over, carrying a basket on her back and holding a sickle in her hand, standing at the intersection below and watching them.
Meng Shulan pushed the cart downstairs.
"Looking for me?"
Meng Danhong looked a little tangled, "I don't have any left. I need to go get some pig food. Are you going to town?"
Meng Danhong stared at Meng Shulan's bicycle with some envy.
Meng Shulan: “Yes.”
"Then let's go together."
Go? What? Go. Meng Shulan wanted to ride a bike, but seeing Meng Danhong's expression, she must have something to say to herself.
In her previous life, Meng Shulan had little contact with this little cousin and didn't pay attention to these things. After her rebirth, she found that this person's personality was a bit twisted. She wanted to get close to her, but also felt a little awkward.
After they walked a few steps, Meng Danhong asked, "How much is this car? Is it new?"
Meng Shulan: "Oh, this car is borrowed."
"Borrowed?"
Meng Danhong was very surprised, "Who lent it to you?"
Meng Shulan: "It belongs to Gu Hansong. He has been out recently. This car is not lent to me, but to my sister."
