"I'm not worried about the sixth child's grades, I'm only worried about his tuition. Your mother and I are both old, and we can't do much work in the fields anymore. We need help from your brothers, sisters-in-law, and my wife, you are the elder. Sister-in-law, please make a statement first."

The old man of the Chu family looked at the Chu family's sister-in-law with a majestic expression. The old man's family had the best conditions and the highest income. The family even spent money to help him build a house. In both circumstances, his family should contribute a lot.

"Dad, this year is not going well. The fish pond harvest is 2300% less than last year. Now the village elementary school has to be cancelled. In order for Yaozu to study, we are going to buy a house in the county. Now the house price has risen sharply. One square meter costs more than 7 The down payment alone is more than 6 yuan. Jiye and I don’t have enough money on hand, and we still want to find some help from our family.”

When the sister-in-law heard that her family had to pay for it, she quickly found an excuse to hide. Nowadays, the tuition and living expenses for a college student cost at least 1 yuan a year. She didn't want to be taken advantage of.

What's more, Mr. Chu's salary is 3200 yuan a month. It is definitely no problem to save 1000 yuan a month, so why bother looking for help from his children.

"Boss, is this what you mean?" Mr. Chu looked at his eldest son, and got exactly the same answer.

"Dad, it's not that we don't want to help, it's just that Yaozu is the eldest grandson of the Chu family and the hope of the whole family. We have to send him to a good school. He is so smart. We can't let school matters delay his future."

The eldest son of the Chu family spoke plausibly. The sixth child was Mr. Chu's son, and Yaozu was also his son. The future was equally important. All he could do now was to take care of his children's schooling by himself without asking for money from his family.

"Hmph, every time I come to you for something, it's just that the results are not good. You've been running the fish pond for so many years, how could it be that you don't have any savings at all? Pat your conscience, will anyone believe what you say?"

Mr. Chu's tone was full of disappointment. How could he not understand his children's family situation? What's more, if the fish pond was really losing money, the Chu family's sister-in-law would have already made the trouble known to everyone. It is absolutely impossible to wait until this time. speak out.

"Dad, all the money I have earned in the past few years has been spent on expanding the fish ponds. As a result, a number of fry died this year and I lost all my money. I didn't tell you because I was afraid that you would be worried."

The eldest son of the Chu family was crying and talking about how poor he was. Zhong Meihui took one look at the clothes of his children and knew that he was lying. The clothes of the two children were bought from the market, and the prices were not low, and the Chu family The gold bracelet on the sister-in-law's hand is worth ten or twenty thousand, so she doesn't look like she has any money.

"Second son, how much can your family pay? Don't tell me that you have no money." Mr. Chu's tone became more severe. He glared at his second son-in-law and asked him to pay for bloodletting.

When his family had trouble before, Mr. Chu used all his savings to help him tide over the difficulties. Now it is unreasonable for him not to contribute money.

"Dad, I really didn't make any money this year. I will try to get 5000 yuan back next year and let the sixth child pay the first year's tuition first."

The second brother-in-law of the Chu family knew that he couldn't escape. As a son-in-law who used his father-in-law's money, he was always a dwarf. If he didn't help at this time, he would probably be scolded by the entire Chu family, and his reputation outside would be ruined. Not nice.

So he wrote a remote check to save his face first, and he would decide whether to pay later.

The third son-in-law sat aside and said nothing, and Mr. Chu didn't ask him. Everyone knew that the third son-in-law's family was the most difficult. He and the third sister of the Chu family were busy in the fields all day long. It would be good if the harvest could support themselves. They didn't expect it. superior.

So he looked directly at the newly married Chu Shoucheng to see how much money he could offer.

"Dad, I'm just a wage earner. I've never been able to make ends meet. The cost of this wedding, including the bride price, was all borrowed by Meihui. Our new house is still rented, and the furniture in the room belongs to the landlord. I'm just an empty shell. , the money you earn in the future must be repaid first.”

Chu Shoucheng really had no money. He relied on Zhong Meihui's assets to get married, buy a house and raise children. Now that his younger brother is in school, he can't reach out to his wife anymore.

The originally lively atmosphere immediately turned gloomy. The old man of the Chu family felt embarrassed. After asking so many children, he only got an uncertain 5000 yuan.

The sixth child of the Chu family lowered his head, tears kept rolling in his eyes. He had never wanted to become a burden to his family. He always saved what he could on living expenses, and even helped his classmates with tutoring and lectures to earn some food. As a result, The family is still worried about his tuition fees.

Zhong Meihui felt that everyone had complained almost enough, so she immediately took over what Chu Shoucheng had just said and gave everyone a reassurance.

"Dad, it's a big deal for the sixth brother to study. Don't worry, the tuition fee for the sixth brother will be different due to the time difference. We, as brothers and sisters, will do whatever we can to help him. We will never let him fail to study because of the tuition fee."

Zhong Meihui made a promise in front of everyone. Her words made the Chu family's sister-in-law stunned. She quickly followed her and asked her to make it clear who this brother and sister-in-law included.

"Fourth daughter-in-law, we don't care about your favors, but don't bring our family with you. We can't take care of our own children."

The Chu family's sister-in-law was afraid that Zhong Meihui would count her share, so she quickly distanced herself from the relationship, lest Zhong Meihui's beautiful words would still drag them into trouble.

"What I say can naturally only represent the two of us. But sister-in-law, it seems that you have the best conditions in this house. If nothing else, just the new building in your house. None of us have it. Since the child has to live in the county, If I go to school, this house is of no use. If I sell it, I will have everything. Not only can I buy a house in the county, but I can also raise a tuition fee for my sixth brother."

Zhong Meihui knew that her eldest sister-in-law was unwilling to pay, but she was not willing to give her such a cheap deal. She directly pointed out that her eldest brother's family had fixed assets and there was no problem of children going to school. It was just to see if he was willing to do it.

"That house was built on the foundation of my family's homestead. It was the wedding house promised to me by the Chu family when I got married! You can't sell it just by saying it!"

Zhong Meihui's words hit her sister-in-law's pain point. She jumped anxiously and directly collided with Zhong Meihui. This house was already in his family's pocket, how could he take it out.

"Oh, it turns out that your parents built that house for you. After all, doesn't it still belong to the Chu family?"

Zhong Meihui was not in a hurry. She said something slowly and asked her sister-in-law to shut up immediately.

The eldest sister-in-law of the Chu family realized that she had made a mistake and almost fell into Zhong Meihui's trap. She quickly found a reason and dragged the eldest brother of the Chu family away. She was afraid that the old man of the Chu family would use the new house as an excuse to ask their family to pay for the sixth son's education. .
