Chapter 1010

Nanluoguxiang

Ran Qiuye braved the cold wind and came to the Jia family again.

As soon as Jia Zhangshi saw Ran Qiuye, she immediately hid away.

When it came to spending money, she had always stayed as far away as possible.

Ever since Jia Dongxu passed away unexpectedly, Jia Zhangshi had viewed money as extremely important.

As for the good daughter-in-law Qin Huairu, whom everyone praised, she had never trusted her.

Not just Qin Huairu, she didn't even trust her eldest grandson, Banggeng.

She was now counting on the money in her pocket, counting on that money to provide for her old age.

Therefore, everything in the family that required spending money was dumped onto her good daughter-in-law, Qin Huairu.

Who let her good daughter-in-law, Qin Huairu, be so capable!

Qin Huairu had nowhere to hide, so she had to bite the bullet and greet Ran Qiuye:

"Teacher Ran is here! Quickly! Please come in! Please come in!"

Ran Qiuye said: "Hello, mother of Jia Geng."

Following Qin Huairu into the room, what came into view were Xiaodang and Huaihua.

Ran Qiuye smiled: "Jia Dang."

Xiaodang said politely: "Hello, Teacher Ran!"

Ran Qiuye looked at Huaihua: "Hello, little Huaihua!"

Huaihua said timidly: "Hello, Teacher Ran."

Qin Huairu greeted: "Teacher Ran, please sit. Banggeng, go pour some tea for Teacher Ran."

Banggeng limped on his crutches, and Ran Qiuye hurriedly said: "No need, no need. Mother of Jia Geng, I'll just say a few words to you and then leave. The situation is this: today all the teachers in our school are doing home visits, and then the school also held a meeting, notifying all students entering junior high school that they must pay their tuition fees before the New Year."

Qin Huairu said with a bitter face: "That, Teacher Ran, I'm sorry. I will definitely pay the tuition, but can I pay it after school starts? Do you think that's okay?"

Ran Qiuye said with a difficult expression: "This, actually, I have also been trying to find a way to let Jia Geng be exempt from tuition, but there are really too many families in difficulty in the school, and there are regulations that only those whose average monthly living expenses per person do not exceed five yuan can be exempt from tuition, but your family is just over that, and I really have no way."

Qin Huairu nodded with a bitter smile: "Yes! I'm really sorry! But you have also seen the situation in my family! I am really in some difficulty now! Banggeng broke his leg, and there is no money for medical expenses, and there are many people in the family, and in the dead of winter, we can't even afford coal…"

Banggeng shouted while leaning on his crutches: "Mom! Our family doesn't need to pay! You go find Cao Weiguo! My leg was broken because of Cao Weiguo, so he should be the one to pay the medical expenses!"

Ran Qiuye asked: "What is going on here?"

Qin Huairu naturally couldn't say that Banggeng broke his leg while going to steal things from Cao Weiguo, so she hurriedly told a lie: "This child was naughty and accidentally broke his leg while playing at our neighbor's house. Actually, it has nothing to do with them."

After finishing, she glared fiercely at Banggeng: "You are not allowed to talk nonsense. If this spreads, it will cause people to misunderstand."

Banggeng muttered unconvinced: "It's true, he should pay the medical expenses."

Qin Huairu glared at Banggeng again, and only then did Banggeng turn his head and stop talking.

Ran Qiuye said: "Mother of Jia Geng, I know your family is not having an easy time, but this tuition fee is a school regulation, and I have no way either."

Qin Huairu gritted her teeth, and as she turned her head, she happened to see Cao Weiguo returning:

"Teacher Ran, please sit here and drink some tea while you wait for me for a moment. I'll go out and borrow some money from a neighbor for an emergency."

After speaking, Qin Huairu hurriedly rushed out and ran to Cao Weiguo:

"Weiguo, I don't have money to pay Banggeng's tuition, you must help me!"

Cao Weiguo smiled: "Do you really not have money or are you pretending not to? Why do I find that so hard to believe?"

Qin Huairu gave him a charming look: "If I had money, would I come to borrow from you? It's not like you can't see the situation in my family. The whole family depends on me alone, the factory has also fined me a lot of wages, and Banggeng has been to the hospital several times. I really can't come up with the money. Lend me some for an emergency, at worst I'll pay you back with interest."

Cao Weiguo turned his head to look around, took five yuan out of his pocket and handed it over: "I don't need the interest. Same place, be there or be square."

"Be there or be square."

Qin Huairu happily took the money and ran back into the room with a blushing face.
