The fact that Chen Meng’er was able to enter primary school with Chen Haoxuan made the Chen family very happy. It also made Chen Ping and Liu Juan very worried. They were worried about money.
Their family was not rich to begin with. Their family’s money and food were enough to cover the expenses of their family. Now, there were two more children who had to go to school. This tuition fee was not a small sum of money.
Chen Ping and Liu Juan had not wronged their children for the sake of money. Especially when they knew that Chen Meng’er might be a genius and an amazing student, they would not stop the development of this child because of money.
Therefore, when Chen Ping and Liu Juan were discussing how to collect the tuition fees for these two children, no, it should be said that it was for the three children. they did not say a single word to tell Chen Meng’er not to go to school.
This made Chen Meng’er, who had been quietly paying attention to her parents’ conversation in the dark, have her eyes turn red. There were a few times when tears almost flowed down her cheeks. At that time, Chen Meng’er told herself in her heart that she must cherish her blessings and remember the love that her parents had given her. She must remember to repay them well in the future and let them live a happy and prosperous life.
“Little Ping, how about this? Tomorrow, I’ll bring the children back to my parents’ place. I’ll go ask them if they have any money on hand. If they do, I’ll borrow some from them first,” Liu Juan thought, her eldest brother’s family situation was quite good. At least, his family definitely had the money that she wanted to borrow. But when she thought of her sister-in-law and her husband, who was afraid of his wife, her thoughts stopped.
Chen Ping really didn’t want his wife to go back to his mother-in-law’s house to borrow money. Previously, when they had just gotten married and had the most difficult time, he had clenched his teeth and never spoken to his parents-in-law about money.
But now, for the sake of the children at home, he took a step back. He nodded and said, “Alright, that’s all we can do. However, just ask. If mom and Dad don’t have money, then forget it. We’ll think of another way.” Obviously, Chen Ping also thought of Liu Juan’s brother and sister-in-law.
“Alright, I got it.”

Early the next morning, Chen Meng’er was pulled out of bed by her mother, Liu Juan. “Meng’er, wake up. We’re going to Grandpa and Grandma’s House.” Chen Meng’er opened her eyes, which felt as if they were glued together, and yawned. Then, with the help of her mother, Liu Juan, she put on her clothes.
It was summer now, so it was very simple to just put on a short-sleeved shirt and a pair of shorts. At this time, the clothes and pants were made of coarse cloth. In the beginning, Chen Meng’er, who was used to wearing luxurious clothes, was not used to it, but now, she was used to it very well. And Chen Meng’er was much luckier than the other girls in their village. She was the only girl in their family, and she had two older brothers. In addition, Chen Ping and Liu Juan really loved their daughter, Chen Meng’er, her clothes were made for her by Liu Juan from the new materials in the village. She was not like the other children in the village, who wore the old clothes worn by their older brothers and sisters.
Chen Meng’er did not have any feelings about going to her grandparents’ house. Although her grandparents treated her well, Chen Meng’er felt uncomfortable and polite every time she went, she didn’t feel like she was their granddaughter at all. Chen Meng’er didn’t like it very much.
On the other hand, when Chen Haoxuan heard that he was going to his grandparents’ house today, he got up early. He didn’t even need his mother, Liu Juan, to call him that.. At this moment, the two brothers, who had been tidied up, walked over to watch Chen Meng’er, who hadn’t opened her eyes yet.
