Chapter 658: Trip to C Province_1
He Dongxue being accepted into university was indeed a great thing, but immediately following this joy came the worry about money.
Last year, He Zhilan’s tuition was borrowed from the Liang Family. This year, with the addition of another student, He Dongxue, even the Liang Family wouldn’t be able to lend so much money. More so, they also had Liang Jing, who was at an age where they needed to spend a lot on her needs.
When He Dongxue’s acceptance letter came in, He Zhongguo started hustling for his daughters’ tuition fees. He sold the remaining chickens in town to get some cash. However, that was merely a drop in the bucket when it came to paying tuition fees.
Last year, He Zhongguo had already borrowed from all his relatives and friends. This year, naturally, there was no one left to borrow from. Looking at the pig in the pen that wasn’t big enough yet, He Zhongguo thought that if things got really difficult, he might have to slaughter the pig early, sell it for whatever he could, and somehow put together the university fees for one of his girls.
He Zhilan held a sum of money in her hand, enough to cover one person’s tuition fees. However, she didn’t know how to explain to her father where it came from.
Apart from what she earned from making hair accessories, the rest of the money, which also made up the major part, was the compensation she received from the Gu Family when Gu En accidentally caused a burn to her hand.
Telling the truth was out of the question. If her father knew that someone like Gu En had harmed her, he would surely worry about her life in the capital.
Creating a lie wouldn’t work either, considering it was quite a large amount of money.
