After Liu Fang left with her child, Ma Yan brought Yun Zhu to Yun Shan’s new house in the afternoon.
“Third brother and sister, the location of your house is really good! I didn’t even need much effort to find it.”
Similar to Liu Fang’s words, Ma Yan greeted him the moment she opened the door.
“Yes, yes, this house is indeed pretty good. I really envy brother for being able to live in this big house like them,” Yun Zhu echoed.
Yun Zhu’s tone was sour, and even Yun Qiao felt a little uncomfortable listening to it.
“Our child has troubled your family for so long, but as a mother, I have never come over to take a look. This is because a lot of lands has been planted recently and the work in the fields is relatively busy. That’s why I took an afternoon off to come over to take a look.”
Ma Yan’s words sounded nice, but in reality, she did not have anything in her hands. She meant that they had not eaten yet because they were in a hurry, so they must stay to eat.
Yun Xi could only shake her head and sighed. She did not expect to have so many strange relatives at home.
“Mom, I’m fine. Third uncle and aunt are very nice to me. You don’t have to worry.” Yun Qiao began to reply to Ma Yan.
“Okay, that’s good. That’s good,” Ma Yan said quickly.
“Mom, aren’t we here for other things? Don’t keep paying attention to how brother is doing. You can tell from his complexion that he must be doing very well here.” Yun Zhu asked, the anticipation in his eyes was unconcealed.
“Third brother and sister-in-law, you guys are really doing well. I heard that you guys are sending Yun Yang to the county’s primary school to study? I even heard the good news in the village.” Ma Yan and Liu Fang had different strategies of looking down on others. Unlike Liu Fang, Ma Yan liked to flatter people more.
“It’s nothing. I just feel that it’s convenient for our family now, so I want to send our child to study first.” Yun Shan repeated his words from the morning.
“Sigh, this is a good thing. Third brother and sister, your family is really blessed. Your son goes to primary school while your daughter goes to high school. I’m really envious.” Ma Yan started to boast again.
After saying this, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became much colder.
Yun Xi’s family did not know what to reply to him. They had obviously already taken Yun Qiao in.
“Mom, I want to go to primary school too. I want to study too,” Yun Zhu urged impatiently.
“Third brother and sister-in-law. We are all family. I also want my child to receive a better education. Since you can take Yun Qiao in, you definitely won’t refuse another child, right? Why don’t I put Yun Zhu in your house and let him go to primary school with Yun Yang? The two of them can keep each other company, right?”
Ma Yan’s words were a gentle strategy. It was different from Liu Fang’s rampage. However, they both had the same goal. They wanted Yun Shan and Chen Li to help them take care of their son.
“This…”
Yun Shan and Chen Li both looked troubled.
“Don’t worry. Our child is easy to take care of. He’s not capricious, and he’s also sensible. The key is that Yun Qiao is here. Yun Zhu can be handed over to Yun Qiao for everything. You just have to give him a pair of chopsticks when you eat. He’s still a child, and he can’t eat much. We’re a family, so there’s no need to be so calculative, right?”
Ma Yan’s words were full of guilt-tripping. Yun Zhu was also looking excitedly at the new house of the third house.
“Second aunt, didn’t your family just rent so much land? Studying in these primary schools in the county is very expensive. It’s almost five times more expensive than the village primary school. Are you sure you want to let Yun Zhu go to school here too?”
To hit the nail on the head and reject a person’s proposal, one must first strike at her weak spot. Yun Xi had already deeply understood the logic behind this.
“What?” Ma Yan really did not expect the tuition fee to be so expensive.
“Mom!” Yun Zhu saw that Ma Yan seemed to be a little shaken, so he hurriedly shook her arm.
“We can’t delay our child’s education. Everyone says that studying is the only way to change one’s fate. Although our family’s conditions are a little poor, we still hope that our children can have a good future. I think my third brother and sister-in-law have been well-off recently. Can you lend me some money to support the children’s education?” Ma Yan did not want to take out such a huge sum of money herself, thus, she opened her mouth to borrow money. As for when to return the money, that was another matter altogether.
