Wang An glanced around and said, "If all else fails, we'll have to transfer ownership of the shop and our newly renovated house."
The room is fully furnished with tables, chairs, and benches; it should be easy to sell.
"What? Transfer? Does that mean all the money we spent before is lost?" Xiao Ruxue put down the rag in her hand and sat down, feeling sullen.
Wang An slammed his fist on the table: "You still have the nerve to talk back? It's because you did something underhanded that everyone is unhappy."
No one is coming in to eat dumplings. We can't sell what we've prepared. If this continues, we'll starve.
It's better to put the shop up for sale, recoup some of the losses, and then find another place to open a shop.
“Brother-in-law, we can’t transfer this shop! We’ve put so much effort into it, not to mention the money we’ve invested. If we lose half of it all at once, we’ll be in deep trouble!” Xiao Deshun did the math in his mind. If this shop can’t survive, then the next one will be hard to open either.
"How else can you keep going? You'd be better off using your time to get the money you owe me back. With that money, you can keep going for a few more days." Wang An didn't even bother to look at his brother-in-law; he'd cleaned up too many messes for him over the years.
Xiao Deshun stood up abruptly: "Fine, I'll go get the money back. You can't sublet the shop."
"Alright!" Wang An looked up at his brother-in-law: "Watch your step, don't cause any deaths. If you go in, your sister and I won't use money to get you out."
Xiao Deshun knew he had done many wrong things, but he didn't care about his brother-in-law's dislike. He picked up the clothes hanging on the wall and went out.
Xiao Ruxue wanted to call her younger brother back, but then she remembered the family's financial difficulties and swallowed her words.
...
Three more ordinary days passed, and it was time for elementary school enrollment in town. Su Chenhao went to the town mayor and asked him to speak to the principal, and his younger brother was successfully enrolled in the school.
I also talked to the teacher, and they said that if I perform well, I can skip a grade.
Looking at the new environment and the new school, Su Chenqiu felt all her previous feelings of inferiority disappear.
With his hard work during this period, he is confident that he can skip a grade in the next exam.
The two brothers left the school and walked back home.
"Brother, are you leaving soon?" Su Chenqiu kicked at the pebbles on the road.
"Well, your sister-in-law is going to school alone, and I'm worried about her, so I have to go with her. You can stay in this house from now on and do what you can."
"Call me if anything happens, get along well with them, and don't throw tantrums." Su Chenhao began to instruct his younger brother. He knew his brother was precocious and that he couldn't say things too harshly.
"Brother, don't worry, I'll stay here and wait for you to come back. They're all very good to me; look how much weight I've gained!" Su Chenqiu was reluctant to let his brother leave, but he hoped his brother would find happiness and not cause him any more trouble.
Su Chenhao took out ten yuan from his pocket and put it in his younger brother's hand: "This is all the money I have on me right now. Keep this for yourself to use for self-defense."
I know you're shy and wouldn't easily ask them for money.
"Brother, take this money back, I don't want it." Su Chenqiu took out some change from another pocket: "This money was given to me by everyone, and I've saved it all, I haven't touched a single penny."
I was saving it for tuition! But today you paid the whole year's tuition in full.
