Ah Yun, I haven't seen you for a few months. I feel that you've changed a lot. Miao Chun Hua frowned. Two hundred dollars was not a small sum. It was equivalent to two months living expenses for an ordinary family.

"It won't be a loss. I'm confident that I can make money." Because Xu Yun was emitting a confident light, her face was a little flushed.

Miao Qiuhua's personality was rather straightforward. She wanted to give it to Xu Yun, but whether it was a loss or a profit, she did not care. She would just treat it as giving her little cousin a large sum of money, but the problem was …

"Yun, I did give it to you, but I don't have any money now. I've only saved up five hundred yuan in four months. I've already given it to your aunt."

Miao Chun Hua was also in a difficult position. She lowered her head and calculated the living expenses in her heart.

Xu Yun was a little disappointed. Just now, everyone gave money to her mother, but she saw that earning money was not easy. She asked for 200. For her cousin who had just gotten married and had just started a relationship, it was indeed a headache.

"It doesn't matter, I'll think of something. No matter what, I won't go to the secondary school to study medicine. I must take the high school exam, go to Peking University, and then go abroad."

When Miao Chun Hua heard Xu Yun say that she was going to study hard again, she felt touched. Gritting her teeth, she took out a pile of change from her pocket. It was a pile of ten, five, one, and fifty cents worth of change.

"Alright, it's good as long as you want to study. I'm nervous too, but I'll give you the money. There's no need to return it. I'll be your elder cousin to support you."

Xu Yun estimated with her eyes that this pile of change should be around fifty years old. It was probably used by her eldest cousin to buy vegetables. She was immediately touched.

"Big Cousin, I will return it. I will return it to you when the Lantern Festival is over."

Seeing that elder sister had even given Xu Yun the money to buy vegetables, Miao Qiuhua suddenly recalled that Xu Yun, in order to study, had even gone to set up a stall to earn her own tuition. How could she not support her?

"Uh, hi, wait for me for a moment. I'll borrow a hundred for you when I get out." With that, Miao Qiuhua turned and left.

Xu Yun was truly touched. Sometimes, things like affection were unconditional support. Moreover, while they were supporting, there was no thought of repayment.

She was only fourteen at the moment. If she was in a more shrewd person's house, if she asked for 200 yuan, she would ask endlessly, and it might not even be certain if she would pay in the end. However, Eldest Cousin and Second Cousin did not ask much and just lent her the money.

Xu Yun sniffed and ordered all the change in front of Miao Chun Hua.

"There's a total of fifty-six dollars and eighty cents. Big Cousin Sister, if I succeed in the Lantern Festival, I'll give you eighty dollars to make up for the lucky numbers."

"Okay, if you really want to earn money, you have to pay me back. If you really don't want to go to secondary school, I'll help you think of a plan. If worst comes to worst, I'll just call you second cousin, third cousin, and fourth cousin and gather up the tuition fees for you together, but the premise is that your grades must be good."

Xu Yun's eyes were a little red. Emotions were really measured by money. The person who truly loved you would be willing to spend money on you. The person who did not love you, no matter how nice your words sounded, would only be useless.

"Thank you elder cousin, I will work hard."

Miao Chun Hua patted Xu Yun's shoulder and laughed. At this time, her little sister had awoken and was crying like a kitten. Miao Chun Hua quickly went to coax her child and did not have the time to talk to Xu Yun for a while.

It was almost 12 o'clock when Miao Qiuhua, covered in cold air, came back with sweetness in her mouth.

"Yun, you've waited too long. I'll give you one hundred yuan, second cousin will support you." This money was borrowed from her boyfriend. When she thought about how clean and crisp her boyfriend was when he borrowed the money, Miao Qiuhua's heart immediately turned as sweet as honey.

Seeing her expression, Xu Yun knew that her second cousin had borrowed it from her boyfriend. Her brows scrunched up, wanting to say something, but she swallowed it back in the end.

Right now, she was being frivolous. There were some words that, if they were spoken, would definitely garner the disdain of others.

Eldest Cousin would get a divorce in 2005. Firstly, it was because Little Cheng was born retarded, and secondly, it was Lei Zhijun. He was indeed a scum.

The reason for this was that, after her second cousin married her boyfriend, she was born prematurely and lost blood, resulting in her entire body being paralyzed. Afterwards, she recovered completely, but her marriage was ruined.

As far as she knew, the boyfriend of her second cousin was not that bad of a character, but he had made the mistake that all men in the world often committed. That was, he couldn't stand the loneliness anymore.

How could she say such a thing?

Therefore, she couldn't say anything. She could only wait patiently until she earned more money. Then, she would think of a way to pull Big Cousin and Second Cousin out.

Seeing that it was already late at night, Miao Qiuhua took Xu Yun to wash up and go to bed. That night, Xu Yun stayed as an audience for an hour, listening to her second cousin talking about the sweetness between her and her boyfriend.

It made Xu Yun think that if her second cousin talked about love in front of her like this, wouldn't she be afraid that she would fall in love too early?

Cough cough, if she hadn't been reborn, she would have fallen in love for a long time. Due to her early love, she abandoned her studies and when she finally stepped into society, she suffered a loss due to her lack of diploma and knowledge.

The next morning, Lan Yu's elder cousin went home with the child in her arms. She watched her eldest daughter's back, her face full of worry but also helplessness.

As for his second and third cousin, they also packed up and rushed to work. In the blink of an eye, the house was empty.

"Sister-in-law, Xu Yu and I will be returning first. Thank you so much for this time. I remember the money. I'll return it to you after I save it next year." Mom's eyes were a little swollen, probably because she cried last night.

Dad was not in a good mood, so when he left, he shook Miao Aiguo's hand.

The feelings between men weren't as outgoing as that between women. The feelings between men were reserved. Clenching his hands tightly, that was his utmost gratitude.

Miao Aiguo pursed his lips and said, "You guys think of a way to get close again. If you really can't get enough, then just say good words to him. Worst case scenario, just write a promissory note. Since Xu Tang is still young, if you can help him out, then just help him out. I believe that after this time, he won't dare to mess around again."

Xu Yu nodded strongly, full of gratitude as she rode the car back to X County.

Along the way, Xu Yun gnashed her teeth in anger. She definitely had to earn both tuition and principal out of the one hundred and fifty-six yuan she had on her.

Just as they were about to enter X County, Xu Yun saw green trucks driving past her.

All the tough brothers were wearing camouflage clothes and were standing in groups in the car. They were probably under the same control, so no one spoke up. Their serious expressions made people involuntarily look at them with respect.
