Xu Yun smiled and looked up at her father and grandmother.

With a serious expression, he said, "It's just a stall. I know my parents are very worried about money right now, or else they wouldn't have let me transfer to a secondary school right now. But I really want to go to university, so I'll figure out a way to earn money."

At this moment, he thought, "Looking around City X County, there are people he doesn't know, some are students, some are colleagues, and even more are neighbors. In total, this is the only place with people looking up and seeing each other. Who doesn't know his daughter, Xu Yun?"

If Xu Yun had been asked to set up a stall, everyone would have thought: How could Mr Xu make his fourteen-year-old daughter come out to earn money?

He and Miao Shufeng were both teachers. As teachers, they couldn't even afford to pay for their daughter's tuition. If that happened, he wouldn't be able to keep his dignity anymore.

"No, Daddy won't let you set up the stall." Xu Yu confidently refused.

The thoughts in Xu Yu's heart were basically all written down. Xu Yun understood that Xu Ya cared for face, and looked down on this sort of thing. She felt that doing something like this would not only cause her to appear in public, but also lead her to act subserviently.

"Dad, I always have to enter society in the future to earn money and support myself. Setting up a stall is not a disgrace, I rely on my own hands to eat. It's no big deal, just treat me like I'm training myself, okay?"

Grandmother was from the older generation, and had also experienced many hardships in the past. She had done all sorts of things, but she had never thought that being humble or subservient. Her little granddaughter had actually thought that she could earn tuition.

Ever since the country was changed, everyone had a good life. Who would let a teenage child go out and earn money for school fees?!

"Oh, milk knows you're sensible, but you're still young. If you can set up a stall, then you can go, and that would be grandma."

"Mom, don't make a fuss. Xu Yun, Daddy doesn't agree with you setting up the stall." Recently, he'd already lost all of his face due to borrowing money. If he let Xu Yun earn money, how would he be able to meet people in City X County in the future?

Xu Yun knew what her father was worried about, but she really didn't think that setting up a stall would be shameful.

"Dad, I know you have a lot of face, I feel like I'm giving you a lot of face by setting up a stall, but I really don't feel embarrassed about that, on the contrary, I feel like it's a very good exercise. Didn't you tell me earlier that I had to transfer to a medical college to earn money to support myself? "Actually, it's all the same to me."

Xu Yun lowered her voice and tried to persuade Xu Ya. After all, this person had a different mindset and stand than others. She didn't expect Xu Ao to help her set up a stall, she only wished that Xu Ya would not stop her.

The Xicheng County was very small, and many people were indeed inconspicuous. With Xu Tang in trouble, this year's Lantern Festival, her parents who loved face, would definitely not take her out for a stroll, just to enjoy the annual Spring Festival.

If she didn't tell Xu Ya in advance and someone else told her all of a sudden that she set up a stall by the street, her parents would definitely be furious at her.

So, he had to say it anyway. To his own family, he had to be honest with them and be strict with them!

Furthermore, if she wanted to stock up, she needed a place to store the goods. She also needed a bamboo bed and a tricycle. It was absolutely impossible for her to hide things from them.

Xu Ling's face turned serious, and his voice became louder and louder: "How can it be the same? When you graduated and entered the hospital, setting up a stall was a disgrace to your father. Have you ever thought about how old Xicheng County is? People you know are everywhere. If they see you setting up a stall, they would say, "Your mom and I must be crazy to let an immature kid like you go out and earn money."

Seeing that her father's attitude was getting more and more unyielding and stubborn, Xu Yun pouted her lips and put the bowl of food in her hands to the side, once again looking at her father seriously.

"Dad, believe me, no one will say that, I want to train myself, this is a good thing, the old man said, whether it is the black cat or the white cat, anyone who can catch a mouse, they are all good cats, I did not steal nor rob, using my own labor force to earn money, why is it embarrassing? After the new year, I will be eating at the age of fifteen. In another year, even if I am an adult, I will prepare my basics in advance. There is nothing bad about it.

He hadn't thought that he would hear from his fourteen-year-old daughter that life was full of ups and downs, and that he would need to crawl and roll around and beat her up. He immediately thought that in order to pull Xu Tang along, he would have to lower himself to the point of borrowing money, and even have to make it so that his daughter would have to give up high school and transfer to a medical school …

At this moment, Xu Ya's old face was a little hot!

He suddenly thought of how his father failed to make a fourteen-year-old think about earning tuition.

Seeing him join the work, watching him get married and start a family, how could his own son not understand? As the old saying went, when Xu Ya opened her mouth, she knew what she was thinking.

Looking at her son, this awkward and guilty due to Xu Yun's understanding, Grandma immediately stood up and patted Xu Ya.

"Ah, Liu'er, Yun isn't wrong. This stall is not shameful. If we don't steal anything, we won't steal anything. Why would we throw things away? I'll accompany Yun'er to set up a stall."

"Mom, a child doesn't know better. No matter what, you are just messing around. No matter what, I don't agree." He failed as a father to teach Xu Tang well, and he also failed to take care of Xu Tang well, which was why today came about. Meanwhile, Xu Yun was a girl, big and small, and was considered to be from the city.

Xu Yun knew that her father had been stubborn for his entire life, and it was good for him, a good life. She was afraid that it would be impossible to convince him.

Xu Yun quietly said as she stared at the charcoal brazier.

Dad, it doesn't matter if you agree or not, in short, I don't want to transfer schools, next year I will definitely be able to get into a high school, I want to go to university, and I can earn my own tuition. Grandma, don't worry, I've already thought about it, I'll go to the stalls with my classmates and treat this as the first exercise of my life, so I don't need Grandma to accompany me there.

Having said so, Xu Yun kept her utensils and went to the kitchen at the back.

A person couldn't just suffocate themselves to death just for face. She had to make her own decisions in her life, even if her father objected. She had decided to set up this stall.

Seeing that Xu Yun wasn't joking around, nor did it seem like it was a new moment, but rather that it was a firm decision. For a moment, he didn't know whether it was better to forcefully stop her or to go on a rampage.

Xu Yun, who was washing dishes in the kitchen on the first floor, could faintly hear people arguing on the second floor.
