When she was reborn in her previous life, global prices had risen. Back then, the cost of living in H country for a year was considered good for an average family, equivalent to 20,000 to 30,000 RMB. International students would have additional expenses such as accommodation and tuition, which would add up to 70,000 to 80,000 RMB, which would be enough. Many international students would work part-time during their spare time. Labor was very valuable abroad, and even a part-time job as a waiter or waitress would earn them enough to support themselves.
Even if someone doesn't want to work, but still wants to live a comfortable life, 100,000 yuan a year is more than enough for a student to live a very comfortable life.
Two years for 400,000 yuan, does her good second uncle want his daughter to go out and be a rich young lady for two years, or does he think her father is a sucker?
Tang Yuanzhou didn't know exactly how much money a normal international student needed, but he definitely couldn't afford to spend 400,000.
"That's too much. How much do I earn in a year? You two work and raise a daughter and you haven't saved any money. Your sister-in-law doesn't work. My salary has to support the whole family. Do you think I can save 400,000?"
Of course they have money. The couple has always lived frugally and never spends a penny recklessly. But the money they've saved up over their entire lives was meant for their two daughters. How could they possibly use it to help Tang Yuanxu? Even if he says it's a loan, do you think he can expect it back?
Tang Yuanzhou isn't really stupid.
He used to treat his younger brother with all his heart, because he felt that it was what he should do as an older brother.
He would give Tang Yuanxu anything when he was willing, but now he's not. He understands the pros and cons better than anyone else.
Tang Yuanxu was also a little unhappy upon hearing this. Actually, he had only intended to borrow 100,000 yuan when he returned, fearing that his older brother would kick him out if he borrowed more. However, after returning, he discovered that his older brother's family's circumstances were different from before. After roughly estimating the value of the villa, he figured that no matter what kind of fortune his older brother's family had made, several hundred thousand yuan should be nothing to them. So, he immediately multiplied his original 100,000 yuan several times over.
Having finally come back, I have to make sure I get my money's worth.
But now his older brother is telling him he has no money, and he's even bringing up his meager salary.
Is a salary enough to build such a large business?
Tang Yuanxu stood up, pointed at the interior decoration of the villa with his neck stiff and said, "Brother, this house must have cost several million. You say you don't have money, don't you feel guilty? You can spend several million to build a big villa, but you can't spend a few hundred thousand to send your niece to school?"
"This house was built by Xiaoxiao herself; I didn't contribute a single penny!" Tang Yuanzhou slammed his fist on the table and shouted angrily.
Tang Yuanxu pursed his lips, clearly not believing it.
"How long has Xiaoxiao been out of school? She's just a little girl. Do you think she can come up with several million on her own? She only went to an ordinary second-tier university. Our Qianqian is a sophomore now. I have a general idea of what schools teach. How can a recent graduate like Xiaoxiao make so much money? Brother, is it fun to tease your younger brother like this?"
Tang Yuanzhou was so angry at his shameless behavior that his chest heaved violently. Tang Xiaoxiao quickly went over to help him catch his breath. While patting her father's back, she said to Tang Yuanzhou, "Second Uncle, I really did build this house myself. I didn't use a single penny of my parents' money... Oh, you're right, my dad did contribute a portion."
Upon hearing this, Tang Yuanxu immediately revealed a smug smile. Tang Yuanzhou looked at her in confusion, only to hear her continue, "This piece of land was originally under my parents' names. I used it to build a house, and I didn't pay them when the property was transferred."
