But, in order to pull Wu Ya out of the quagmire, I have to say it.
The director of the Women's Federation said: "Old lady, think about why Daya and Erya can't find a good one. How are they inferior to the other girls in our compound?"
Shi's mother was not convinced: "Our girls are all very good!"
Tell lies with open eyes.
The director of the Women's Federation rolled her eyes and said, "She is not good-looking, not educated, and only graduated from primary school! If Wu Ya was a high school student, just imagine how much dowry she could get..."
Woo.
She is guilty!
The girl is exchanging gifts for a bride price! How dare she say such a thing!
Retire early, retire early! Why bother with this kind of shit?
Shi Mu's eyes lit up, "Yes, Director! You are right!"
Seeing this, the director breathed a sigh of relief.
Even though I said those words against my conscience, at least my goal was achieved.
"So someone is supporting Wu Ya to finish her studies without you having to spend a penny, so you can just be happy."
Shi's mother was still dissatisfied and retorted: "If we let her go to school, there will be one less person to do the work at home..."
Quartz, who was pretending to be invisible, finally spoke: "That's enough! Mom!"
Mother Shi looked at her son and swallowed her words.
The director of the Women's Federation was too lazy to look any further. Since she had made up her mind, she stood up and said, "Okay, this matter has come to an end. I'm going back now."
Shi Ying then stood up and said, "Director, I'll take you there."
The director and Shi Yingcai walked to the door side by side and reminded him: "Talk to the child..."
After seeing the Shi family's children, the director sighed and said, "No need to send them off."
"Okay, Director, please be careful on your way."
Only after the director of the Women's Federation had completely left did Shi Ying turn around and look at Wu Ya.
Who could have thought that his beating would bring good fortune to this girl?
"Dad?" After being discharged from the hospital, Wu Ya was a little afraid of this man.
Yes.
In Wu Ya's eyes, he was not her father, but a man who was even more cruel than any stranger.
She had no sisters either. After all, she helped them, but they just stood by and watched while she got beaten.
She has no relatives.
If there is a chance, if there is...
Wu Ya lowered her eyes, clenched her trouser seams tightly with her ten fingers, and then quickly let go.
Shi Sanya has worn this pair of trousers for several years. They have been patched up at home. If they were torn, wind would get into the trousers in winter, and she would get cold legs when she gets older.
I feel so uncomfortable.
"Wu Ya, you are the most blessed among your sisters."
Shi Wuya slowly raised her head, a puzzled look on her face.
Then, she heard Shi Yingcai say, "The director is willing to pay for your education. As long as you have the ability, it will not be a problem for you to graduate from high school."
All is silent.
Amid the envious gazes of the crowd, her heart seemed to be setting off a brilliant firework display.
Her chance had come.
She thought.
…
Zhou family.
Qiao Yu took out his abacus, shook it in front of Dawei, looked at him deeply, and then began to fiddle with it.
Dawei said: I was extremely scared at that time.
Last time I put the broken pieces of a bowl against my neck, I was punished by facing the wall for several days.
This time, mother took out the abacus that she had not used for a long time. What does it mean?
Zhou Wu patted his shoulder, saying, "May the best be to you."
Xiaoyong looked at his brother and whispered, "Brother, do you want me to use my pocket money from these years to help you?"
Dawei: “…That’s not necessary.”
The last time Qiao Yu pulled out the abacus was when Zhou's mother came back from her hometown with Little Goldfish. Qiao Yu and Zhou Ze'an had a trip to Hong Kong City and woke up with a high fever after being interrogated.
After Qiao Yu and his wife recovered from their shock, Zhou's mother wanted to give Qiao Yu her and the second wife's share of the family property.
Qiao Yu took out an abacus and wanted to have a clear account with Zhou's mother. He fiddled with the beads on the abacus and said in a sinister tone, "Mom, you are the elder. If you want to have a clear account with me and Old Zhou, then I will start from the beginning, including the food you have eaten over the years and the salary you have earned from taking care of Little Goldfish..."
Zhou's mother was so frightened that she quickly took back her hand and the money.
From then on, everyone in the family knew that when Qiao Yu wanted to deal with someone, there was only a difference between ordinary and powerful methods...
Oh no, there might be even more powerful methods.
Civilized people will not utter a single dirty word when dealing with others.
They were used to seeing Qiao Yu throwing tantrums, swearing and vomiting, so this weird temper at home made them feel uneasy.
Because it means Qiao Yu is serious.
At the end of the recollection, Dawei heard Qiao Yu say: "You flirted with her and threatened to die rather than take the responsibility. It would be fine if she was a bad person, but I have seen Wu Ya's character over the years.
Hey, you are right. If I were you, I would make the same choice as you.
But as a man, since you are unwilling to take responsibility, you have to take responsibility and let some insiders see your courage so that you won't be caught.
Even if it is exposed, there will be no accusations.
So you have to pay for Wu Ya's schooling. Oh, and the money for her one egg a day..."
Click, click.
Every time Qiao Yu fiddled with the abacus, Dawei's heart ached.
The amount I said at the end... I almost fainted.
"Junior high school is 2 yuan per semester, 12 yuan in three years. Senior high school is 6 yuan per semester, 36 yuan in three years. And one year of elementary school... count it as one yuan. These are all preferential policies of military schools, including tuition and miscellaneous fees. The tuition alone is 49 yuan.
Wu Ya is now 11 years old. She will graduate at 18, so she still has seven years to go. The nutrition of an egg a day, 365 days a year, is 6 cents for you, no egg ticket required. That is 153.30 yuan.
The total is 202.3 yuan.
Qiao Yu finally held out his hands, "Okay, pay now."
Zhou Wu pulled up his coat and wiped the sweat from his forehead. "Oh my god, you spent all your pocket money on this fight, right?"
As he spoke, Zhou Wu bumped into Dawei and teased him, "Look at your backbone. Not having a wife is almost the same as having half a wife."
Xiaoyong patted his chest with a lingering fear. Fortunately, he was still young.
The little goldfish looked at his mother, then at his fourth brother whose face turned blue, and said, "Mom! I have a share in this fight! I shouldn't have fought back. I was the one who was pushed. If you were to take charge, you could have slaughtered the Shi family! So, I'm willing to pay this money!"
Qiao Yu paused in fiddling with his abacus.
It just so happened that she estimated that the pocket money Dawei had saved over the years would not be enough to fill the gap.
Since the brother and sister are willing to share the good and the bad...
She accepted it with a smile.
Xiaoyong: "Mom! I'm willing to contribute some of my own pocket money!"
Finally, all the children's eyes fell on Zhou Wu.
Zhou Wu: ...Ah! It's too early to be happy!
How could this be the price for my fourth brother to marry half a wife? It was clearly the price that my mother wanted them to pay for starting a fight without permission!
Zhou Wu was reluctant: "Okay, count me in."
Qiao Yu was very moved.
She put down the abacus beads and said, "Okay, you let me see brothers and sisters being friendly and respectful, sharing happiness and hardships, and seeing the scene of unity and friendship..."
The little goldfish blinked, "So? Mom, is there a reward?"
Qiao Yu laughed and said, "Yes, take a slap from me!"
"No! Grandma, help me!" The little goldfish had to avoid the attack of its mother and seek protection from its grandma.
For a moment, the tense atmosphere disappeared.
The laughter and cheers filled the entire second floor.
