Chapter 112 Let's Split Up
Pei family.
After Pei Huaiyuan came back, he sent the four children away.
"Mom, I want to ask, Ankang is already eight years old, he should have gone to school two years ago. Haonan is already seven years old, he should have gone to school last year. Why haven't they gone to school yet?"
Although he had no news in the past few years, when he brought them back, he gave most of the subsidy he had received from his military service to his mother, a total of two hundred yuan.
Worried that he was not at home, he secretly gave his eldest and second sisters-in-law fifty yuan each, hoping that they could help take care of Pei Ankang and the other three.
The house that Pei Ankang and his family lived in was dirty and messy, but he didn't care.
There were delicious food at home, but his four children couldn't eat it, so he didn't want to make a fuss about it for the time being.
But he couldn't help but care about not being able to go to school!
"Over the years, the harvest was not good, there were many children, and the economy was tight, so Ankang and Haonan's schooling was postponed a little."
Mother Pei said, "I'm always working outside, so I've left the housework to your sister-in-law for the past two years."
Pei Huaiyuan turned his head and looked at Pei's sister-in-law coldly, "Sister-in-law!"
The eldest sister-in-law of the Pei family laughed dryly and said, "It can't be helped. The family needs to eat, and everything costs money. I have to split every penny I spend, but there is no other way. The school tuition is expensive, so I can only go to school one after another."
"Sister-in-law, what does it mean to come to school in turn?"
Pei Huaiyuan looked at her calmly.
"They go to school according to age. Your eldest nephew is sixteen years old and is in high school this year; your eldest niece is fourteen years old and is in junior high school this year; the third child of the second child is eleven years old and is in the fifth grade; the fourth child of the second child is nine years old and is in the third grade. There are so many schoolbags in the family now. Our fourth child insisted on going to high school and taking the college entrance examination. If he had gone to a normal school or technical secondary school, he could have graduated and started working now!"
Pei's eldest sister-in-law and Pei Huaiyuan explained, their words were full of apologies, especially when they talked about their son going to high school, they looked helpless.
But the second sister-in-law of the Pei family knew that rather than her eldest sister-in-law looking helpless, she was actually showing off.
There were only a few people in the entire commune who could go to high school, and her eldest nephew was one of them.
Moreover, when he was in high school, he was admitted to the best high school in the city with the highest score in the school.
When the admission letter came out, her sister-in-law was in great glory.
My eldest nephew's teacher was also very excited and said that for this child to go to this high school is equivalent to getting into college. Because the admission rate of students in this city high school is 90%, even the most poor students can be admitted to a junior college.
As long as you go to a junior college, you will be able to eat government subsidies and find a secure job in the future.
Also because the eldest brother's son went to high school, the mother-in-law felt that the eldest sister-in-law was a good parent, so she simply gave the power of managing the household to the eldest sister-in-law.
"Sister-in-law is right. But I remember that Xiaobin is exactly seven years old this year, younger than Ankang and Haonan. Why can Xiaobin go to the first grade, but Ankang and Haonan can't?"
Pei Huaiyuan's low voice sounded slowly.
The deep eyes suddenly turned cold.
Ankang and his friends' father entrusted them to him. Not only did they not have a good life with him, but they also missed two years of schooling.
It’s all false to say that I’m not annoyed, angry or self-blaming!
Pei Xiaobin is the third son of the eldest brother. When he first got together with his mother, he asked his mother and confirmed that Pei Xiaobin was going to school.
“…” Pei’s eldest sister-in-law was speechless and looked unhappy.
"Since you are the head of the family, you must be fair and just. Why can all your children go to school, but none of my children can go to school?"
Pei Huaiyuan's gaze made the eldest sister-in-law of the Pei family's scalp numb, and she burst into tears, "There are so many people at home, so many things to do! How can I take care of them all the time?"
"When you're not at home, they have no mother! I have to worry about their food, clothing, and daily necessities. Just because our family is financially tight and I didn't let your children go to school, you're blaming me like this?"
Pei Huaiyuan's eyes were heavy, and the corners of his mouth suddenly lifted. He said, "Sister-in-law, I really appreciate your concern. My children are so worried that they dare not eat vegetables at the table! They dare not put detergent in the laundry! Their clothes are all patched, and there are holes on the buttocks of their pants."
Pei's eldest sister-in-law cried even harder.
She never expected that her brother-in-law would have such a sharp attitude as soon as he came back.
He didn't give her any face at all and kept blaming her in his words.
"Huaiyuan, since you have such a big problem with me, then you should be the head of this family!"
The eldest sister-in-law of the Pei family simply gave up the task, "I make a lot of mistakes and no one will thank me no matter how much I do. It's a thankless job!"
"My sister-in-law is so anxious to take charge of the household because she is so angry."
Pei Huaiyuan said with cold eyes.
Mrs. Pei was choked by his words and couldn't say a word of rebuttal, "..."
"Huaiyuan, I have neglected the children's schooling. How about letting Ankang and Haonan go to the first grade next semester? What do you think?"
Pei's mother discussed with Pei Huaiyuan.
"Yucheng will be six years old soon, and he will be arranged to go to first grade next semester."
When the eldest sister-in-law of the Pei family heard this, her eyes were immediately shocked. "More than one person and three students? The tuition fee will be dozens of yuan."
A few days ago, Lin Yunchu's ex-fiancé sent them twenty yuan in consolation money.
If Pei Ankang, Pei Haonan and Pei Yucheng really go to school, she will pay for them.
"From what my sister-in-law said, I still can't afford to go to school, right?"
Pei Huaiyuan asked back.
"Go, go! All the children must go to school!" Pei's mother made the final decision.
"Thank you, mother."
Pei Huaiyuan stood up and left.
*
at night.
There were cries coming from the Pei family's eldest wife's house.
"Master, what does your third brother mean by this? He is so upset that we have another child going to school?"
"He has been away from home for these years. We have been working like slaves at home, taking care of his children and raising them. As soon as he comes back, he puts on a sour face!"
"If he thinks we are partial, then we can split up the family. He can take care of those children however he wants!"
"He's targeting me everywhere. I can't stay in this house any longer. Woohoo, say something to me!"
