Chapter 549 Before Enrollment



After dinner, no one went back to their rooms so quickly.

Tomorrow is a new day, and it is also the beginning of changes for the Ling family.

After all, starting from tomorrow, Ling Hancheng and Chu Yuefang will go to school to teach. At the same time, Ling Lin, Ling Sen, Ling Li, and of course Zhou Danfei and Zhou Anyuan will also go to school separately.

Ling Lin and Zhou Danfei are in the same middle school as Ling Mu. However, their school has not yet allocated dormitories for the new students, so the school has temporarily arranged for the new students to start school a week later.

Otherwise, Ling Lin and Zhou Danfei could have followed Ling Mu to school together today.

So they can stay at home tomorrow, Ling Sen will go to Donghu Junior High School, and Ling Li and Zhou Anyuan will follow Ling Hancheng and others to the Central Primary School.

"Ling Mu went to school, and his family gave him five dollars a week for living expenses, including food and the return ticket. Ling Lin will receive the same treatment when he moves there later," said Mrs. Ling. "Dan Fei, you..."

Although Mrs. Ling is not a stingy person, studying in the county town is indeed not cheap now.

Ling Mu and Ling Lin are studying in the county town, and each of them needs twenty yuan per month, which adds up to at least forty yuan.

Compared to the tuition fee of only a dozen dollars for the two of them, this living expense is much higher.

After all, the Ling family has many children. Although they can still afford to support them now, they don’t have the spare money to support other children.

Old Mrs. Ling now has to tell Zhou Danfei that she is living here now, and there is no problem for her and Zhou Anyuan to have meals, but they can't pay for their studies.

When Zhou Danfei heard what Mrs. Ling said, she knew what she wanted to say and quickly took out ten yuan from her pocket.

"Grandma, my mother has already given me my living expenses, you don't have to worry." Zhou Danfei said hurriedly.

The Zhou family is not short of money yet. Since Zhou Meixiang wants to get closer to the Ling family, it is certainly impossible for her to take advantage of Ling Hancheng and the others.

Mrs. Ling nodded when she heard this.

This is not so bad, otherwise Mrs. Ling would not let her second son and daughter-in-law suffer.

The other one is Ling Sen——

"Even though you only come back once a week to attend junior high school in town, I really can't give you the same living expenses as your elder and second brothers," said Mrs. Ling. "Can you understand this?"

After all, Ling Sen's school is relatively much worse, and the meals at Donghu Middle School are cheaper than at Anhe Middle School, so it is impossible to give Ling Sen so much money.

Old Mrs. Ling set a standard of giving Ling Sen four dollars every week.

Ling Sen scratched his nose and nodded embarrassedly.

His school is not as good as that of his elder and second brothers, so of course he has no objection to such treatment.

Mrs. Ling also said to Ling Li, "From now on, we'll see which school you can attend and give you living expenses based on the standards of that school. Got it?"

Ling Li nodded to show that he understood.

However, since Ling Li and Zhou Anyuan are currently in elementary school, they will be back at noon, so there is no need to say anything.

Xiao Linglong didn't know anything else, she only knew that starting tomorrow, she and her brother Xiaowu would be the only ones at home most of the time.

Woohoo... I feel so lonely.

Xiao Linglong thought with her mouth pursed.

As the family was talking, they heard someone knocking on the door.

When I went out, I saw Gu Jinzhi.

Now she came alone.

There was no way. After Gu Mingze was "punished" by the Ling brothers, it really left a big shadow.

Although he wanted to see Xiao Linglong very much, his fear of the Ling brothers eventually prevailed.

Gu Jinzhi had to come alone.

In fact, Gu Mingze didn't know that she was here, let alone what she was here for.

"Look, he's going to school tomorrow, and I was hoping your child could take Mingze with him. He's not familiar with the roads around here, and if he doesn't go with anyone, I'm afraid he might end up somewhere."

“You might not even be able to find the school at all.”

When Mrs. Ling heard this, she looked at Ling Li.

Ling Li laughed when he heard this and said, "Of course there's no problem with that."

Although Ling Li also disliked Gu Mingze who always wanted to pester his sister, it was a good thing that he was going to school with her now. At least he would have no chance to get close to their precious sister.

At first, Mrs. Ling was afraid that Ling Li would not agree, but she didn't expect that he would agree so readily.

"That's okay now. You don't have to worry. Just let them go together." said Mrs. Ling.

"Thank you so much, auntie!" Gu Jinzhi thanked softly.

Gu Jinzhi looked so polite and refined that even Mrs. Ling seemed afraid to speak loudly in front of her.

After saying this, Gu Jinzhi didn't stay for too long. She thanked him and left.

This made Mrs. Ling feel very straightforward and relaxed.

"Gu Jinzhi does seem quite impressive, but I'm not sure what she did in the past," Ling Hancheng said. "I think she looks like someone with a very cultured background. Her past must have been quite extraordinary."

After hearing this, Mrs. Ling and Chu Yuefang had the same opinion.

Gu Jinzhi was not a native of the village, but no one knew what her past was like.

Although they were curious, it was indeed not a good thing to pry into other people's privacy, so they could only sigh behind Gu Jinzhi's back about her uniqueness.

Mrs. Ling said, "No matter what she does, we should just go along with her. After all, she's a neighbor. If there are any other problems, we don't need to be afraid of her."

Chu Yuefang nodded: "Mom is right."

By the time this happened, Gu Jinzhi had returned home and saw Gu Mingze already packing his things for school the next day.

Gu Jinzhi recounted how she had just asked Ling Li and the others to take care of Gu Mingze.

Gu Mingze didn't say anything when he heard this, but he looked a little depressed as he put the pencils into the pencil case.

Gu Jinzhi helplessly reached out and gently patted her son's shoulder.

"I know you're still upset about what happened last time, but there's really no need to be," Gu Jinzhi said helplessly. "They might have forgotten about it a long time ago. You can't just stop going to school because of it."

Gu Mingze opened his mouth and wanted to say that he could go to school, but he swallowed the words as soon as they came to his lips.

He really seemed to...really not know where the school was.

Gu Mingze's face looked a little blue.

Gu Jinzhi rubbed his shoulders helplessly.
