Even if there's no university to go to, I still want to go to high school.
She had given up hope and resigned herself to her fate, but her sister-in-law gave her hope.
Thinking of this, Li Aimei excitedly took off Yunjia's quilt cover and washed it for her, saying that she felt uneasy if she didn't let her do some work, and always felt that she had no use for her strength.
What could Yun Jin say? Let her go.
As long as she's happy!
Yun Jin wasn't just talking; after dinner that day, she and Li Aimei strolled to her house. Li Aiguo also came out with them. Now it was just Li Aimei's mother with her two younger brothers and sisters. The youngest brother was ten years younger than her and she was pregnant on the day her father had the accident.
She died, but the child was still born.
This is why Li Aimei and her family were able to move into the family compound.
Li Aiguo was the eldest son in his family. After becoming a battalion commander, his family members were allowed to accompany him to the army. Since he was not married, he was granted special permission to bring his mother and younger siblings to the house. The house was not big, but they could squeeze in.
His allowance is enough for his family to live on.
However, when it comes to studying or something similar, the financial resources are not so generous.
Li's mother considered that there were still two younger children whose school fees would also be needed. With three children in school, the money was simply not enough to cover the expenses, so she decided to let Li Aimei stop attending school after junior high.
Yun Jin explained her purpose: "Aimei and I get along very well. I treat her like a younger sister. I think she's still young, so it would be good for her to study more. I can lend her the tuition fees. She can pay me back when she has a job and earns her own money."
Li's mother glared at Li Aimei: "How can this be? You also need to make a living and raise children. Tuition fees cost a lot every year, not to mention other miscellaneous fees. It adds up to a considerable sum over two years."
"Besides, even if she finishes her studies, she won't be able to go to university without a recommendation from a workers', peasants', and soldiers' university. It's better to save the tuition fees and use the money to prepare a dowry for her so she can get married in style." This was Li's mother's plan.
Li Aimei was unwilling: "I want to study. Even if I can't go to university, I want to get a high school diploma. Mom, please, let me study. I'll borrow money and pay it back myself."
Li's mother remained silent.
Encouraged by Yun Jin, Li Aimei said, "When my older brother comes back, I'll talk to him. If he agrees, Mom, you can't stop him."
Li's mother sneered, "Your eldest brother can't make the decisions in this family."
Li Aimei was so angry that she cried and ran away.
