Chapter 181 Money for schooling

If Jiang Weimin knew what Jiang Weiguo was thinking, he would definitely cry out for injustice. If he hadn't threatened him, how could he have thought of stealing anything.

It wasn’t that he was getting bolder, it was the threat of losing his hand that kept turning over and over in his mind.

At last he gritted his teeth and stamped his feet, and went to steal. Needless to say, he felt palpitations and sweating while stealing.

 After stealing something, all that is left is excitement.

Jiang Weimin naturally did not tell anyone about these psychological experiences. He only savored them slowly. Of course, no one knows what he learned after tasting them.

 …

At this moment, Xiao Shitou listened to Jiang Weiguo's evaluation of his younger brother, and smiled softly with his delicate lips, looking gentle and shy.

"I overheard Uncle Weimin saying that he bought it himself."

Jiang Weimin didn't even believe what he said.

 The two families were so close to each other, and their family was always in a hurry. Although Xiao Shitou usually didn't talk much, he knew very well what kind of person Jiang Weimin was.

She cheats and cheats, is lazy by nature, and calls her mother whenever she has nothing to do.

He relies on Old Mrs. Jiang, and Old Mrs. Jiang can live such a prosperous life only because of her capable eldest son.

"bought?"

Jiang Weiguo curled his lips, the meaning of his smile was unclear.

 It would be better if you bought it.

 “Okay, Xiao Shitou, I understand, please give me a try!”

 “It’s not hard work!”

Little Stone curled his lips and replied.

He didn't know how willing he was to run errands for Jiang Weiguo. With just a few words, he could earn a week's worth of food.

 Jiang Xiaowen sent Xiao Shitou out. Before leaving, he took out a dollar given to him by Jiang Weiguo from his pocket and handed it to Xiao Shitou.

Xiao Shitou's eyes lit up when he saw such a large denomination of money, but he didn't dare to accept it directly this time. Baba looked at Jiang Xiaowen and asked, "Is it too much?"

 In the past, the most I gave was ten cents, but this time I gave one yuan. It was too much money, and Xiao Shitou was a little scared.

 “Dad said he would give you money for school.”

  “Go to school?”    Elementary school costs about two yuan per semester. You can pay one yuan first and the rest after the semester.

When Xiao Shitou reached school age, he also thought about going to school, but gave up the idea after asking about the money he needed to pay.

 If you don’t have money, where can you go to school? The family would not give him money to go to school.

 Just at this moment…

“Although this money is not enough to pay for one semester’s tuition, there is still so much time, enough for you to find a way to raise the remaining money!”

Little Shitou pursed his lips and asked, "Why?"

He knew clearly that Jiang Weiguo contacted him because he wanted him to keep an eye on their home, and it was not out of pure kindness.

 And he didn’t believe that anyone would be so kind.

 The transactions between the two of them could be said to have always been straightforward. Now that he was suddenly given so much money, Xiao Shitou felt uneasy.

The two children are obviously still very young, but they talk and talk like little adults.

 Children of poor people have become parents early, and each of these children is more thoughtful than the last.

"No reason, my brother and I are going to school soon and want to find a companion! As for the money, you can pay it back when you have more money!"

Dad said it would be interesting to find some people to go to school with. Otherwise, if there are only two of them, they won’t even have anyone to study with, so where will the progress come from?

 Jiang Xiaowen believed what his father said.

Little Shitou still looked a little hesitant.

 Jiang Xiaowen took his hand and gave him a dollar.

"Take it, Dad said that the outside world is very exciting. We need to go out and see it by ourselves. If we don't go to school or study, we may be trapped in the mountains for the rest of our lives. Do you really want to stay in the village and work hard for a few cents? lifetime?"

Little Shitou didn't know what to think of, and slowly held up his hand until he held the dollar tightly.

 When he raised his eyes again, he answered with a longing for the future in his eyes.

"good!"

 He is willing to take a gamble.
