"Hey, you don't know about his family yet, let me tell you, this is the child of his ex-wife..."
Shengxia gathered her strength for a while and was about to continue crying when the door suddenly opened!
Liu Meili looked very unhappy, but she managed a forced smile: "Oh, it's Xiaoxia, come in quickly, I was in the kitchen just now and didn't hear you, you can just walk in directly, look at you, kid, you even knock on the door..."
Shengxia felt like vomiting when she saw her face. She snorted in her heart, showed nothing on her face, and went in.
As soon as she entered, she saw that the family was not in the kitchen at all. It was clearly a family of three happily having lunch. Shengxia looked at a plate of vegetables and shredded potatoes on the table, but she noticed that there was a greasy duck leg in her brother's bowl that he had forgotten to hide.
Shengxia silently said to herself, "Be patient, even for the sake of money! They loved playing this game in their previous life, but I didn't expect that they would still be so stinky in this life."
Since Shengxia could remember, he had spent two years in this house, and those two years were the most frustrating years for him.
Liu Meili awkwardly asked Sheng Wang to put away the bowl. Sheng Xia walked up to Sheng Jianguo and said, "Dad, I got into college. The tuition is 800 yuan. The county will pay 200 yuan, so I need to borrow 600 yuan from you."
Sheng Jianguo was surprised when he heard this: "You? You can get into college? What college? You must be kidding me."
So few people can go to university! Many children from government agencies in their building have been working so hard to get in, but none of them have made it. Only the better students can get into a junior college. How could she possibly get into university? Isn't that a fantasy?
Shengxia took a deep breath and said, "Anyway, I passed the exam. Dad, consider it a loan from me and I'll pay you back within a year."
Liu Meili was the first to react. She said in surprise, "Xiao Xia, did you really get into college? You're not lying to us, are you? If you need money, just tell your dad directly."
Shengxia was getting a little impatient with their frequent confirmations: "If I passed the exam, I passed. Do you want to borrow the money or not? I will definitely pay you back within a year. You can also charge interest if you want."
"What's your attitude!"
Liu Meili winked at her and asked, "Xiao Xia, which university did you apply to? Is it a regular one? We won't go to any university that isn't a state-run one."
Shengxia interrupted her: "Local, Jinghai University."
As soon as she mentioned the words Jinghai University, Sheng Jianguo and Liu Meili were stunned for a moment.
Sheng Jianguo's eyes widened in shock. "Where did you say? Jinghai? Did I hear correctly? You got admitted to Jinghai University?"
Shengxia hummed, and took out her wrinkled admission letter from her bag and said, "I've been accepted into the English Department of Jinghai University. Besides the tuition paid by the county, I still need 600 yuan for one semester.
Sheng Jianguo unfolded the admission letter and looked at it carefully, his eyes almost popping out of his head, before he confirmed that it was indeed Sheng Xia's name on it, and the stamp was also from the school. Sheng Jianguo was overjoyed for a moment: "Oh my God, there is actually a college student in our family! Just wait, I'll get the money for you!"
As soon as Sheng Jianguo got up from the stool, Liu Meili glared back at him fiercely.
Sheng Jianguo immediately sat back down: "Then let's hear what your aunt has to say first."
Liu Meili came over, took the admission letter and looked at it back and forth: "Oh, Xiaoxia, you are really amazing. You got admitted to Jinghai University in one go! This is a famous university. How did you study? You can teach your brother later. After all, we are siblings and your father's children..."
Shengxia felt a chill in her heart when she heard Liu Meili's smile. She wondered what bad ideas this old witch had. She said, "Dad, get me some money. I'll leave after I get the money."
Seeing Shengxia ignoring her, Liu Meili's face froze.
But she is a smart woman, otherwise she would not have been able to hook up with Sheng Jianguo under the nose of Shengxia's mother when she was working as a waitress in a restaurant, and then gave birth to a son for Sheng Jianguo less than a year after her mother's death. From a country girl, she can now work in the office of a state-owned enterprise.
Liu Meili thought, since their leaders all said it was a good place, how could it be bad?
Liu Meili had a pair of shrewd, upward-slanting eyes. She folded up the notice and said with some embarrassment, "Look, Xiaoxia, I'm just a salary-earner. It can't compare to a formal job. I can't even take care of the family. Your father's restaurant business hasn't been very good recently. How can I come up with so much money all at once? Besides, your one-year tuition is almost two thousand, and four years is almost ten thousand. Your father also has to take care of the restaurant's expenses. Even if your father and I pay for your first year, we can't pay for your second year's tuition. Your brother will also have to take the college entrance examination in two years."
Shengxia understood her implication: "You guys don't want to go out?"
"How can that be? Getting into university is a happy occasion!" Liu Meili glanced at Sheng Jianguo and said with a smile, "How about this, Xiaoxia, your dad and I know you're smart and you'll have a bright future even without going to university. Instead of six hundred yuan, your dad and I will give you two thousand yuan. Can you give this university spot to your brother?"
