Chapter 183: Borrowing Money for School Fees

“Mom, this… this…” Yun Qiao was also a little hesitant. After all, he still relied on his uncle’s family for his food and shelter. If he were to borrow money from them again, it would be very embarrassing.

“What? Do you guys have no money? Or do you think that our family doesn’t have the ability? Do you think that we can’t repay the money?” Ma Yan saw Yun Shan’s hesitant expression and immediately guessed his thoughts.

“Sister-in-law, look at our family. First, we paid for Yun Xi’s high school tuition. Then, we had to send Yun Yang to school too. We really aren’t that well-off.” Chen Li quickly said.

“Even if you aren’t well-off, you should at least be better off than our family, right? Didn’t Yun Shan just find a new job as an accountant at Jing’s Family Pharmacy? I heard that the owner of the pharmacy is very young and very nice. Let Yun Shan first overdraw a month’s salary from the owner of the pharmacy and help our Yun Zhu pay for school.”

Ma Yan acted as if it was only right for others to borrow money for her.

“Mom, that’s not good.” Yun Qiao also tried to stop her.

Ma Yan realized that her words were a little rude and quickly corrected herself.

“We are all family. I think you will not refuse, right? After all, this is for the good of the child and the future of the entire Yun Family.”

Ma Yan was really shameless.

“Mom, you are going too far. Anyone who hears this will laugh at you. How can you do this?” Yun Qiao could not help but say.

Yun Qiao was really confused by Ma Yan. He did not know what was wrong with her. How could she say such words now?

“Shut up. You’re enjoying your life here. Don’t you want to see your brother living a good life with you? Why are you always helping others? It’s as if I’m trying to kill you.”

Ma Yan scolded Yun Qiao angrily. Yun Qiao was a sensible and filial child. This was probably inherited from the Yun family’s genes. Facing Ma Yan’s angry rebuke, he did not dare to continue speaking.

“Third brother, third sister-in-law, what do you think of this matter?” Ma Yan urged Yun Shan to immediately give her an answer.

Yun Shan was also in a dilemma. He was a very committed person, especially towards his own brothers and sisters. However, he did not want to go against the wishes of his wife and children, so he could only look at Yun Xi.

Yun Shan had already treated his eldest daughter as a pillar of support, and now he hoped that this daughter would stand up for him.

“I’ve thought it over. The answer is no.” Yun Xi said after receiving Yun Shan’s hint.

“How can you be like this, child? Yun Qiao is your cousin, but isn’t Yun Zhu also your cousin? How can you treat the two of them with favoritism?”

Yun Xi did not speak for a long while. Ma Yan thought that she had tacitly agreed. Little did she know that Yun Xi was actually just waiting for the right moment.

Ma Yan was not a fool. She knew that she should curry up with Yun Xi first. Hence, she continued, “Yun Xi, you have helped your cousin. This matter has spread throughout the village. Everyone says that you are a good-hearted child and that your grades are good too. You will definitely have a bright future.”

Ma Yan had been paying attention to Yun Xi’s expression. Seeing that she did not frown, she continued, “This time, you’ll also help your cousin. When I return to the village, I will definitely speak well of you in the entire village.”

“I don’t need praise from others, especially those who aren’t important to me at all.” Yun Xi said indifferently. Her tone was very calm, but there was a trace of coldness. This was her personality.

“You don’t have to say all the nice things and put in the effort on me. I said I won’t lend you this money, so I can’t. Moreover, this place won’t take in your younger son as well. You’d better give up this idea as soon as possible.”

“That’s right. Didn’t Yun Lang also return to the village to study? You can ask Yun Zhu and Yun Lang to study together in the village. That way, someone can still look after your son. Why does Yun Zhu have to stay in the county to study together with me? I don’t have to be accompanied by someone.”

Yun Yang continued to add insult to injury. He protested the fact that they were acting as though it was for his sake.
