The village head was so angry that he gritted his teeth, but there was nothing he could do about Yun Que'er. After all, it was unbearable for anyone to see her sitting in front of him crying. So he waved his hand and told them to get out quickly.
Yun Que'er knew when to stop. After saying everything she wanted to say, she pulled Yun Fujin to find the accountant.
She got the urgent matter done first. After returning home, Yun Que'er asked Yun Fujin to give her the tuition fee that Yun Yi should pay.
"Third Sister, you don't have to worry about this anymore," Yun Que'er said, sitting on a high chair and happily swinging her legs. "School will start soon. You can just take the money and pay the tuition. Let's see what others can say this time."
Although Yun Que'er hadn't lived with them before, she still had the memories of the original owner.
She knew that Yun Yi had been worried about paying the tuition fee during this vacation. She had also lost her temper at home several times, saying that she always paid the tuition fee the latest. The teacher always gave her a bad look, and even invited the dean.
Although the dean didn't say anything offensive, he was a smiling tiger, using a gentle knife. He always smiled, but the words he said actually stabbed Yun Yi right in the heart.
People always say that it doesn't matter if you're poor, what matters is having ambition. Although this is true, it's not entirely correct.
After all, one can live by this principle, but others may not think so.
People live in a big environment and can't completely ignore what others think.
Even if one doesn't care, the power of rumors is terrifying. How strong - willed a person must be to fully accept others' discussions about themselves without changing their mind at all?
Yun Yi was just an ordinary person, a child. She hadn't reached such a high level.
So Yun Que'er actually felt a bit sorry for her. This time, when she gave the money to Yun Yi and finally saw her beaming, Yun Que'er felt much more relieved.
She had finally made the biggest contribution to this family so far.
As Yun Yi was smiling, her eyes turned red.
"Xiao Que'er..." She grabbed Yun Que'er's hand. "I've never been this happy in my life. Thank you, really thank you."
Yun Fujin's eyes also burned. He didn't expect to go back to school in his life. He just hoped that Yun Yi would do well.
In a family, not everyone should be doomed to work in the fields.
At least Yun Motan was a teacher. There should always be a child in their family who could study and have a bright future.
But thinking of himself, Yun Fujin still felt a bit regretful. After comforting Yun Yi a few words, he walked away.
Yun Que'er looked up at Yun Fujin's back and always felt that he looked a bit lonely.
At this age, one should be full of ambition, but because of life, he had to bear the burden of the family and give up his studies. How painful it must be for Yun Fujin!
Even though Yun Que'er was just a child living in an orphanage without anyone to take care of her at that time, she was still studying at this age and even preparing for the college entrance examination.
She really felt sorry for this family.
Seeing that Yun Yi was getting more and more excited and seemed about to cry, Yun Que'er quickly comforted her.
"Don't cry, Third Sister. This is just a small goal our family has achieved for now. There will be more and better days in the future. Just go to school with peace of mind. Don't worry about the money anymore."
"I'm not just worried about this." Yun Yi gave a bitter smile and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. "We can earn money if it's gone. At worst, we can delay the tuition fee for a few days. It's not a big deal. But I just wonder why other families can live a good life while ours can't?"
Now their family was a bit closer to other families. They weren't extremely rich, but at least they had caught up a lot. So Yun Yi was both excited and sad.
"Xiao Que'er, you should also go to school in the future," Yun Yi said earnestly. "Only by going to school and getting out of this small place can you have a bright future. Third Sister just wants to be admitted to a university in the future and take the whole family away. We'll never come back."
She had suffered too many cold looks since childhood. Even if she didn't care, there was still a knot in her heart.
Yun Que'er nodded seriously. "I will definitely go to school."
"You're such a good girl," Yun Yi said with a smile, stroking Yun Que'er's head. She had truly accepted Yun Que'er now.
Yun Que'er had finally won over everyone in this family. She let out a sigh of relief. There would be more ways to gain their favor in the future, which was a great thing for her.
"By the way, I have something for you," Yun Yi said, running to her desk and rummaging through her schoolbag to take out two pieces of candy.
"Big Brother gave these to me when he went to a wedding in the neighboring village. I've always been reluctant to eat them. I'll give them all to you today."
Yun Que'er was really flattered. She took the two pieces of candy with both hands.
They were just ordinary pieces of candy, wrapped in red paper.
The red paper had already lost some of its color. She didn't know how long Yun Yi had carefully kept them.
Although Yun Que'er really wanted to eat them, thinking that they were Yun Yi's treasures, she returned one piece to her.
"Just give me one piece, Third Sister. You keep the other one."
"No," Yun Yi said, stuffing the candy back. "I've eaten some before. And you're the great hero of our family. You deserve to eat more. I'll ask Big Brother to buy some for you another day. Anyway, we have money now."
Yun Que'er quickly waved her hand. "No, no, no. We still need to save this money. We'll need it for food and emergencies in the future. And..."
Yun Que'er suddenly lowered her voice. She glanced at Yun Fujin's back as he was working outside, then leaned over and whispered to Yun Yi.
"Actually, I want to save some tuition fees for Big Brother so that he can go back to school too."
"Really?" Yun Yi was a bit surprised. "But Big Brother hasn't been to school for two years. High - school tuition is expensive, and he'll have to take the exams again if he goes back. Our family may not be able to afford that much money."
"Let's take it slowly," Yun Que'er said with a smile, narrowing her eyes.
The reason their life was hard was that they were limited by the conditions, which was the same for everyone.
So even if they got more work points, they could only barely make ends meet. But if Yun Que'er remembered correctly, next year the land would be distributed to each household.
As long as their family contracted the land and found a way to make good use of it, they would surely be able to make money in the future.
Anyway, Yun Que'er had made up her mind. She would never let Yun Fujin miss his dream.
Yun Que'er declined several times, but Yun Yi still gave her both pieces of candy. So Yun Que'er had to take them with a smile. She put one piece in her mouth and was going to take a stroll in the yard.
