Qiao Xiaoni suddenly recalled a news story she had seen before. Many families kept having children, and if even one child became successful, the whole family would sacrifice everything and be tied together... So that successful child only had two outcomes: either they would give everything for their family, or they would become an ingrate in the eyes of others... Actually, this is unfair to everyone.
Qiao Sunshi heard from others that as long as you get into university, you'll have endless money, just like you did in ancient times when you passed the imperial examination.
Qiao Xiaoni wasn't her favorite granddaughter, but who could blame her when she was the most promising? If she did well in the future, she could help mentor all the other children in the family—that would truly be a success!
Turning to Qiao Haisheng, she said, "I won't interfere with your business dealings anymore. Don't let it interfere with the child's studies. School will start soon, have you prepared the money? We can't let Xiaoni suffer, especially when it comes to money."
"Your two sons must be having a hard time making ends meet. I've decided to go back today and discuss it with your father, and we'll set aside some money to support Xiaoni's university education."
Qiao Haisheng rubbed his eyes. Was this really his mother? Why did he feel so uneasy? Why was she suddenly being so nice to them... giving them money and offering to help them? Was there something going on?
Li Meihua nudged her husband, urging him to reply quickly.
Qiao Haisheng then spoke up, "There's still some money at home, enough for Xiaoni's college tuition."
Qiao Sunshi said, "Your family's little money isn't enough. Let me inform the eldest and third sons and ask them to prepare some money."
Qiao Haisheng quickly shook his head, "Mom, how could I take their money? Don't make things worse."
“This is not causing trouble at all! If Xiao Ni becomes successful in the future, they can also benefit from it.” Qiao Sunshi’s eyes shone. “I will also tell the villagers this news so that they can be envious that our family has produced a college student.”
Qiao Haisheng frowned. "Mom, Xiao Ni is just going to an ordinary university. Who knows what will happen to her in the future? I don't want my eldest brother and third brother's money. If they ask us for help in the future and we can't help them, we'll just get blamed."
You have to listen to me on this matter; everything else is negotiable.
Qiao Sunshi's heart skipped a beat; this wasn't what she had imagined. The second son was proving difficult to deal with. Her eyes darted around.
"Okay, then we won't take their money, but I need to tell them that Xiao Ni got into university."
So, I have to go back today. Could you have Xiaoshan pack the car and take me home later?
Hearing that the old lady was leaving, Li Meihua smiled happily and quickly said to her second son, who was still in a daze, "Didn't you hear what your grandma said? Hurry up and go out and tidy up the car, and put more straw inside."
Qiao Xiaoshan, remembering that he still had to go to Sujia Village later, asked, "Mom, have you forgotten that I still have to go to Sujia Village?"
"You don't need to worry about that. Just take your grandma back," Li Meihua quickly replied.
Once the old lady leaves, the house will be peaceful. She'd rather have fewer things. Thinking this, she got off the kang (heated brick bed).
"Mom, I'll take some eggs home for you to eat."
Qiao Sunshi did not speak to indicate her consent; having just given away ten yuan, she felt she had to get something back in return.
Qiao Xiaoshan had no choice but to go out and pack the car, thinking that if he went quickly, he could come back in time.
Qiao Sunshi glanced at Su Chenhao, and realizing that an outsider was actually living in her house, she felt it necessary to say something and coughed.
"Haisheng, there are some things you need to be careful about. How can outsiders stay in our house?"
