"Yingzi, how much did you earn?"

"Let me calculate. This week, our family has earned about three hundred and seventy dollars. How about you?"

"My brother, my two cousins ​​and I caught it together and sold it for more than 300 yuan."

"Chen Lingli, what about you?"

"My sister and I are the only two of us, so we didn't make as much as you did. We probably sold it for more than 270 yuan."

Although she said "I don't make much", the corners of Chen Lingli's mouth were almost raised to the sky.

In the past, during the summer vacation, she and her sister went to the county to do odd jobs to earn tuition fees, such as washing dishes and moving bricks in a brick factory. They worked very hard for a month, and it was considered good if they could earn 100 yuan.

Who would have thought that the method Jiang Tian taught them was just to take a fishing rod, find a small ditch to catch crayfish, and they could earn more than 200 yuan in a week!

The two sisters calculated that if they could do this job until the end of summer vacation, the money they earned in the two months of summer vacation alone would be enough to cover all their expenses for the next semester.

Moreover, starting from next semester, she and her elder sister will receive an additional scholarship...

"Sister, I've decided. From now on, I will work with Tiantian and her family!"

"I go crayfish fishing during the summer vacation, and deliver lunch boxes to fast food restaurants during the winter vacation. This way, I can save at least a few hundred dollars a year."

"I heard that studying in a medical college is very hard and you have to memorize a lot of books. Sister, when school starts, just study hard and I will support you!"

Chen Conghui hugged her sister, and the two sisters hugged each other and cried bitterly.

After crying, the two sisters wiped their tears and continued to cut bamboo to make fishing rods.

This time, the two of them spent some "startup fund" and went to the town to buy two scoop nets. This triangular scoop net was originally used by fishermen to catch shrimps in shallow waters like in small rivers.

Chen Conghui discovered that there were many crayfish in these small rivers, but because there were a lot of aquatic plants, when fishing, the fishing line was often stuck by the aquatic plants, and the crayfish easily ran away.

The two sisters bought two large scoop nets. When they encountered a small ditch with shallow water, one of them used the scoop net to block one end, while the other used the scoop net to push it from the other side.

It’s true that catching crayfish this way is much faster than using a fishing hook.

Moreover, not only crayfish, they also accidentally caught a lot of river shrimps, loaches, eels and so on.

The two sisters discussed it and decided that when they went to sell the crayfish, they also took a small bucket and took the loaches, eels, and a basin of river shrimps with them.

"Tiantian, these loaches, eels, and small river shrimps were all caught by my sister and me. They are not good things, but we will eat them fresh and give them to you and Aunt Hu to taste."

Chen Lingli poured all these things into a large basin in the Hu family's yard.

When she came back in the evening, Hu Qiongfang ate braised loach, fried eel shreds, and a dish of river shrimp and egg custard that was so delicious that it made her tongue slip.

"Were these also caught by your classmates?" Hu Qiongfang pointed at the dishes on the table.

Jiang Tian chuckled, "That's right. We are also benefiting from Boss Hu tonight. These loaches, eels, and small river shrimps were sent by Chen Lingli and her sister. They said they were thanking Boss Hu for sponsoring their schooling. These are specially brought for you, Boss Hu."

Hu Qiongfang is now very busy every day. She thought for a long time before she remembered who Chen Lingli was. Thinking of the current situation of the two sisters, her beautiful eyebrows frowned.

"I just don't understand. Conghui and Lingli are both smart and capable sisters. Why is Liu Mei so blinded by greed that she has to drive her own daughters away?"

Jiang Cheng, who had been eating in silence, suddenly spoke up: "She is worried that her two daughters will do too well in school and will have to go to school. The family will run out of money and she will not be able to support her beloved youngest son to go to school."

One word can wake a dreamer up!

Hu Qiongfang and Jiang Tian looked at each other and immediately understood why Liu Mei kicked her two daughters out of the house.

Rural families are indeed not rich. Isn't it said that to support a college student, at least two generations have to tighten their belts.

What's more, among the three siblings of the Chen family, the eldest and second sisters are both good at studying and have strong personalities. They are determined to change their destiny by going to school.

But the problem is, with the current financial situation of the Chen family, and the fact that Liu Mei's husband has passed away, she can only support one child to go to college on her own.

Two daughters and one son, who should I choose?

Liu Mei did listen to Aunt Pang's advice and decided to focus all her energy on raising her children.

However, what is laughable is that Liu Mei's decision was to give up her two daughters and devote herself to raising her son.

Hu Qiongfang could understand Liu Mei's thoughts. The social environment was like this. In a family with both sons and daughters, parents could treat them equally in daily food, clothing and other expenses, but in major matters, they would eventually favor their sons.

After all, my daughter will get married sooner or later, and once she gets married, she will belong to someone else's family. When I think about it this way, I always feel that I am wasting money on my future in-laws by sending my daughter to college.

But if his son gets into university, it will bring honor to the family and change the family's status, which is equivalent to changing the fate of the entire family.

Moreover, the current custom is that sons take care of their parents in their old age. If they bring up their sons, won’t it be the parents’ blessing in the future?

Thinking about this clearly, Jiang Tian couldn't help but curl her lips: "She really has a good plan!"

Hu Qiongfang looked at the dishes on the table, sighed, and reminded Jiang Tian: "Remember to remind Chen Lingli later and tell her sister to hide the admission letter and not give it to anyone! Also, when the medical college starts, tell her that the school requires you to transfer your household registration to the school."

Jiang Tian was stunned for a moment, then suddenly widened her eyes: "Mom, what are you saying?"

Hu Qiongfang sneered: "We are all mothers, how can I not know what Liu Mei is thinking?"

"As long as Chen Lingli and her sister's household registration is still registered at home, even if she kicks the two sisters out, when the two sisters reach the age of marriage, do you believe it or not, Liu Mei can still shamelessly find a matchmaker and sell the two sisters for a good price?"

"To put it another way, even if Chen Lingli and her sister become powerful and difficult to manipulate, as long as their household registration is still at home, if they want to get married, they will have to beg their mother. At that time, she can still ask for a lot of money to help her son go to school and get married."

Jiang Tian nodded frantically and picked up a roast duck leg for Ms. Hu: "Mom, you are still the best. You treat Chengcheng and me equally and never show partiality."

Jiang Cheng buried his head in drinking the soup and didn't even glance at his sister.

This is not partiality? Ms. Hu's heart is almost biased, okay?

Normally he is always sweet and coaxing his sister, but he was the last one to know about such a big event as his family buying half a street!
