Chapter 442 Borrowing Money to Study
Han Shan glanced at Jiang Xinbai and Jiang Xinlan, coughed twice and asked, "Xiaolan, Xiaobai, your elder sister and I are undecided about something. I want to ask for your opinions?"
"Hmm? What's the matter? Just tell me, brother-in-law." Jiang Xinbai replied with a smile.
"Hey, it's Yaoyao. Isn't this kid good at studying? She's a sophomore this year. Their school has a few places for exchange students, and Yaoyao was chosen, but the fee is quite high!"
Jiang Xinbai heard this and immediately said, "It's okay, brother-in-law. It's a good thing that Yaoyao is studying hard. I'll pay for the expenses."
"Oh, no, no, that's not what I meant." Han Shan waved his hands quickly.
"Right, Xiaobai, your brother-in-law and I are not borrowing money from you. We have the money, but we haven't had much to spend over the years, so we saved it." Jiang Xinhong explained hurriedly, fearing that her two sisters would misunderstand that she was going to borrow money from them.
Jiang Xinlan nodded thoughtfully and asked, "Sister, brother-in-law, you are worried that the other two families will feel unbalanced after paying Yaoyao, is that what you mean?"
"Yes, that's what I mean." Jiang Xinhong slapped her thigh suddenly. There's nothing wrong with buying more things for each of her three sons' families, but the cost of going abroad is not low. She felt uneasy when she thought of her other two daughters-in-law.
Jiang Xinlan glanced at Jiang Xinbai and said, "This should cost a lot. My elder sister and brother-in-law are right to worry."
"But if we don't let Yaoyao go abroad, it will delay the child's study." Jiang Xinbai knew that Yaoyao had always been a good student. This time, she had a chance to go abroad as an exchange student, but she gave it up because of the money issue, which was a pity.
"Hey, what do Shixin and his wife say? Yaoyao is their biological daughter after all." Jiang Xinlan suddenly asked.
Speaking of her eldest son and daughter-in-law, Jiang Xinhong was helpless. "What can they say? Shujun just got married and is pregnant now, so he needs money. The remaining money from Shixin was used by Yaoyao to buy a house. Now even if we want to support Yaoyao, there is nothing we can do."
Jiang Xinbai was helpless when he heard this, "Hey, you see, Shih Hsin has done a good job, Yaoyao can't blame her parents."
"Yes, that's what I told her."
"It's not necessary to go abroad, right? Of course, I'm not stingy with the money, but given your situation, if things go wrong, they might become enemies. By the way, sister, how much will it cost?" Jiang Xinlan's family didn't have any children studying abroad, so naturally she didn't understand the costs abroad.
Jiang Xinhong explained softly, "Because it's a place given by the school, the tuition is half paid by the school and half by myself, which costs about 100,000 for two years. There are also living expenses, which I need to pay for myself, and it's estimated to be another 100,000. Add up to no less than 200,000, and it may not be enough."
"Oh, that's quite a lot. What did Yaoyao say?"
Han Shan sighed and said, "Yaoyao is thinking that her family has no money, so she won't go. I think it's a pity."
Jiang Xinbai thought about it and said, "Actually, we can do this. Sister, you guys lend the money to Yaoyao and let her pay it back after she gets a job..."
"That won't work either. If Shih Hsin knew that my eldest sister and brother-in-law have so much money, wouldn't they be keeping an eye on them?" Jiang Xinlan said, shaking her head.
"No, second sister, please listen to me first. What I want to do is to lend it to Yaoyao in my name, so that they won't be thinking about eldest sister's money." Jiang Xinbai thought about it and decided that this was the best idea.
"This? Will it work?" Jiang Xinhong hesitated.
"Why not? It's all right as long as you trust me, sister." After all, he didn't pay any money and he just had to bear the responsibility of giving his name.
"I definitely believe you, so what should we do?" Jiang Xinhong looked at her husband and asked.
Han Shan had no other choice, so he nodded and said, "Let's do this. You can withdraw the money and give it to Xiaobai, and ask her to remit it to Yaoyao. Oh, don't give it all at once. I think you can just give one year's tuition and living expenses first."
"Yes, my brother-in-law is very thoughtful."
…
In Haishi, Liu Dan looked at his daughter who had just hung up the phone and asked in a low voice: "Yaoyao, what did your grandparents say? Do they have money to give you?"
Han Shuyao glanced at her mother and said helplessly, "Mom, my grandparents are supported by my aunt and grandmother, so how can they afford to send me abroad to study? Aren't you asking nonsense?"
"Why are you asking such a stupid question? Didn't your grandparents sell their house in their hometown and get some money? They haven't had much to spend in recent years, so they should still have the money."
Liu Dan knew that his parents-in-law had sold their house in their hometown and divided half of it among the three families, but the old couple still had half of the money, which was enough for Yaoyao to study abroad.
"Mom, don't always think about my grandparents' money. I'm not the only granddaughter they have. This is not good." Han Shuyao's face looked a little ugly. Her mother was like that. She always thought about taking my grandparents' money.
"Why is it bad? Your grandparents have so many grandchildren, and you are the most promising one. Isn't it just right to spend the money on you? You are just too shy. If it really doesn't work out, Mom will go to Shenzhen. Can your grandparents really ignore you?"
Liu Dan is very proud that his daughter can study abroad. Originally, they wanted to sell the house to support their daughter, but his daughter refused, saying it was not cost-effective. This child just thinks too much. Why not buy a house after she has made progress in her studies?
"Okay, mom and dad don't have any money. The red envelopes they gave to the children over the years, social interactions, food and drinks, don't they all cost money? Besides, when we get old, if we don't have some money on us, who can we rely on in the future? You or me?" Han Shixin rolled his eyes at his wife.
"Hey, you're still talking about me. Anyway, my aunt and her family are rich and help my parents. What do they need you to do? Just give them a phone call and say hello."
Liu Dan actually felt that his parents-in-law were quite lucky. They had very good brothers and sisters who not only gave them a house to live in, but also gave them money to spend. Even if he lived with them, he would not have received such treatment.
Han Shixin rolled his eyes and said, "I'm too lazy to talk to you," then looked at his daughter and said, "Yaoyao, if it doesn't work out, we can sell the house you bought first, and then we can get the money together."
Han Shuyao shook her head. "No, Dad, the house must not be sold. Grandma just said on the phone that my aunt can lend me money for my studies, and I can pay her back when I get a job."
"Ah, you still need to borrow money?" Liu Dan was a little disappointed. She had thought that her mother-in-law and her brothers and sisters from her natal family could pool their money together to pay for Yaoyao's tuition and living expenses, but she actually needed to borrow money.
