Qiu Wanyan listened to her mother's scolding and lowered her head without saying a word.

It seemed like her mother didn't notice the marks on her face from being beaten. She didn't seem to care about her at all. Instead, she scolded her. She was lying when she said she felt bad.

Upon seeing this, Lan Xuegui pulled Qiu Wanyan to her side, half-embraced her, and gently patted the hand on her arm.

Qiu Wanyan felt Lan Xuegui's comfort, and the grievance in her heart suddenly surged up.

Mother Lan was watching from the side, and her words helped ease the depressing atmosphere.

"Sister-in-law, Wanyan just came back, let her sit down and have a drink of water first."

Lan Xuegui's aunt listened to Lan's mother's words, and thought she was giving her sister-in-law a face, so she didn't scold her, but her expression still looked a little bad.

Lan Xuegui's uncle's house was also big. There was a sofa in the living room, and so many people could sit there.

Lan Xuegui stood up and walked to the chair beside her for her mother to sit on, while she stood beside her.

Lan Xue returned to her grandparents to see that her mother Lan had returned with no expression on her face.

Mother Lan called out to the two of them when she first entered the house, but they didn't respond.

The air was suddenly filled with a quiet atmosphere.

Lan Xuegui was wondering how to approach her cousin about letting her continue her studies.

At this time, Lan Xuegui's uncle suddenly asked, "Why are you back?"

Mother Lan glanced at Qiu Wanyan, thinking about what she had said to her at home.

But I didn't bring up this topic at the beginning, but just talked about some daily things.

After hearing their perfunctory answers, Lan Xuegui wanted to get up and leave, but when she thought about her cousin, who usually pleased her, not being able to go to school, she suppressed her anger and did not leave.

After a while, she heard her mother say, "I heard Xing'an is going to get married?"

"Oh, yes, Xing'an is 23 years old now, and it's time for him to get married. He just happened to meet a girl at school, and I thought she was a good match, so I asked him to marry her as soon as possible."

Mother Lan asked cautiously, "Has Xing'an found a job?"

When Lan Xuegui's aunt heard Lan's mother ask this, the expression on her face suddenly became alert. She looked at Lan Xuegui's uncle with traces and signaled with her eyes.

Lan Xuegui secretly took it all in and pursed her lips.

Then I heard her uncle ask, "Why are you asking this? Xing'an must be looking for the best job."

Mother Lan pulled the corner of her mouth, but didn't say what she was thinking. She said that the university her nephew attended was not as good as her daughter's, and with his arrogant attitude, it would be difficult for him to find a satisfactory job.

She whispered, "Have you prepared the betrothal money?"

Lan Xuegui's aunt finally stopped talking and asked before Lan Xuegui's uncle could finish his words, "Sister-in-law, why are you asking this?"

Mother Lan saw the defensiveness in her eyes. Even though she knew so much about her cold attitude, she still felt a little chilled.

She pulled a smile on her lips, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I'm here to borrow money."

When Lan Xuegui's aunt heard this, she breathed a sigh of relief and immediately pretended to be concerned and said, "That's what I meant."

Her husband works as a purchasing manager in an electronics factory. Although his salary is only around ten thousand yuan, the job is lucrative, so the monthly salary he takes is also high.

But she wanted her husband to lend money to her sister-in-law.

Mother Lan tilted her head to look at Qiu Wanyan, who had been keeping her head down. "I heard that Wanyan didn't go to school anymore?"

Lan Xuegui's aunt looked unhappy. She glared at Qiu Wanyan, thinking that she told everything to others.

Then she turned to Mother Lan and said, "This child has read so many books, which is enough. Besides, girls don't need to read so many books. Look at me, I didn't even graduate from elementary school, but I'm doing fine."

Mother Lan didn't look at her, but looked at her brother, "Brother, do you think so too?"

Lan Xuegui's uncle frowned, "Her mother is right, and we have raised them for so many years, it's time for them to make some contribution to the family."

When Qiu Wanyan heard these words, she held back the pain in her heart and a tear fell silently on her back.

Mother Lan looked at her parents, who had been serving as a background, and then at her brother. She took a deep breath and said slowly, "Wanyan's grades are so good. It's great that she is studying so hard. Besides, our child Nunnu will also be able to get a scholarship, which will save a lot of money for the family..."

"Sister-in-law, you are sitting and talking because your waist hurts. My Xing'an is going to get married soon, and the betrothal money must be given. And it's just to let her go to school, but you are going to kill her. What should I do?"

Lan Xuegui and Lan's mother knew that if they said these things, they would definitely be criticized by them, but when they thought that if they could help Qiu Wanyan get the opportunity to go to school, they would feel better.

When Lan Xuegui heard that her mother was arrested, she immediately said, "Aunt, Wanyan only has two days left to finish high school. You should let her finish high school."

Lan Xuegui's aunt snorted coldly, "That's easy for you to say, but if my daughter-in-law marries me because the betrothal money is not enough, will you be responsible?"

"But, Wanyan spent a lot of money on her studies. She has a scholarship. Uncle, can you bear to let Wanyan drop out of school like this?"

Lan Xuegui knew that she had communicated with her aunt, so she looked at her uncle who had been talking silently.

Uncle Lan Xuegui frowned and said nothing for a long time.

Seeing this, she knew that her uncle was determined to let his daughter continue to go to school, and her heart sank.

"Don't look at your uncle. I have the final say in family affairs. I said, 놊Let her read, 늀놊Read. 늀What's the point of a little girl reading so many books?"

Lan Xuegui frowned, anger rising in her heart. Just as she was about to retort, she heard Qiu Wanyan stand up and yell, "You only have your brother in your eyes, and I am everything! Study hard, but don't expect me to go out and earn money for you in the future!"

With that, she walked to her room and slammed the door shut.

The air was quiet for a while, and then Lan Xue returned to listen to her aunt's angry scolding, "It's really outrageous, she said to do the work, and she did it. It's not up to her!"

She looked at the two lobbyists and her face suddenly turned cold. "Sister-in-law, this is my family's affair. I don't want to bother you to give us your opinions on our decision."

"Our house is small, so we will entertain you."

Lan Xuegui and her mother knew that what they did was very abrupt, but they still did it in order to allow her cousin to continue her studies.

Finally, Lan Xuegui and her mother left with their heads down and in despair.

From beginning to end, her grandparents never spoke, as if they didn't exist.

And they didn't even ask questions even though my mother had a cast on her body.

Mother Lan sighed, "What can we do? Your cousin is still so young. I don't know if her brothers will force her to drop out of school and work."

Lan Xuegui looked at her uncle's house and whispered, "Yes."

She has another solution.
