Chapter 103: Settling Scores
Song Dajiang wasn’t well educated. How could he understand these twists and turns? He simply believed that the county school was definitely better than the school in town. After some thought, he said, "Why don’t you go to the county school next year?"
"How much money does a county school cost?" Song Dalin couldn’t help but interrupt. "All these years, our family has suffered so much for Third Brother. Father, Mother, it’s easy for you to ask him to take the exam again, but you have to consider our circumstances."
Song Jiayue, who had always been close to Song Maolin, agreed with him in her heart. She wondered when her dowry would be ready.
"Shut up." Song Dajiang threw down his chopsticks. He had always been the one to have the last word. How could he tolerate anyone disobeying him? "I’m not dead yet. You don’t have the right to make decisions in this family."
"Father, don’t be angry. Brother is right. I’ve been a burden to everyone for the past few years. Let’s forget about it. Look at how glorious Eldest Grandpa was in the capital back then. And yet, he still ended up..." Song Maolin didn’t finish his sentence, but everyone understood.
"What do you mean by that? If I say you’ll go to the county school, then you’ll go to the county school. You just have to focus on studying." Song Dajiang was originally a little hesitant, but after being provoked by Song Maolin, he immediately made his decision.
He still remembered the time when he was chased back from the capital with Song Dahai. He hated that family because of Song Dahai, but this issue had always been a sore spot for him.
"I- I understand." Song Maolin pretended to be helpless and looked apologetically at his two brothers.
"Are you still eating? Did I come at the wrong time?" As they spoke, the courtyard door was kicked open.
"What are you doing here?" Madam Liu jumped up from her stool and looked at the two people who had entered in horror.
