"I...I can't have enough to eat when I go to school?"

The smile on Xiaohu's face froze when he heard this, and when he saw Chen Yinghua's reddish eyes, he even lost his appetite for ice cream, and felt sour and distressed in his heart.

"Yes, our family is poorer than you think. When I came to Beijing this time, not only did I borrow a car from your cousin, but I also borrowed clothes from their family."

"Although our own clothes are not patched, they are all washed white and frizzy, which is unseemly. Your dad and I didn't want to embarrass you in front of others, so we borrowed two pairs of good clothes."

Chen Yinghua nodded, his voice choked with sobs, as if he was embarrassed to say this in front of his son.

"Well, if Uncle Gu offers to support me again in the afternoon, I won't refuse...but I will write down all the money he supports and pay it back slowly when I grow up and work!"

Xiaohu was silent for a long time after hearing Chen Yinghua's words, and finally made a decision with a blushing face and gritted teeth.

To be honest, prosthetic limbs are already very expensive. Even if he can go out to work right now, it will take him several years to save up enough money to pay them back.

However, Uncle Gu and Aunt He said that the prosthetic limb was a reward for taking care of Yuanyuan in the dark room. If he was not willing to accept it with peace of mind, he would not be friends with Yuanyuan, so the money for the prosthetic limb was not mentioned for the time being.

But if he has to support his family for schooling and living, that's another matter. He will write down every sum of money, remember it clearly, and pay it all back later when he is able!

"How can you repay the money when you are so young? Don't think about this first. Think about your two younger brothers. They are one and two years younger than you. They are about to go to school. If Uncle Gu offers to sponsor You, why not let him help you sponsor your two younger brothers!"

Chen Yinghua angrily scoffed at the second half of Xiaohu's request to pay back the money. Seeing that he was willing to accept funding, Chen Yinghua offered to let the Gu family provide more funding for his brother's education.

"Your mother is right. The Gu family is the richest family in China. That little money is nothing to him. You also have a sister who is four years older than you. She is already eleven this year and will be there in a few years. Marriage age..."

"Dad, you are still very young at 11 years old and still in elementary school. How come you got married within a few years?!"

Chen Wenbo echoed his wife, but was interrupted by Xiaohu before he finished speaking. The latter really couldn't listen and retorted to him with a shocked look on his face.

He knew that he had an older sister and two younger brothers. He could barely understand that his parents wanted him to ask Uncle Gu to help his brothers go to school. But his elder sister was still young, so why did she bring up the matter of getting married? !
"Eleven is not too young. Your sister is already old enough to go to school. We don't plan to let her go to school anymore. Why don't we start looking for boys in the town and see which ones have good boys of the right age. Make a decision in advance and wait. She will get married when she is fifteen!" Chen Wenbo said.

"That's right, finding a good husband will be responsible for her for the rest of her life. There are many boys in our town who have good family conditions and have gone to school. There are also some who went out to work early and saved a lot of money. But your sister doesn't have a dowry. You Talk to Uncle Gu and see if it would be okay to sponsor a dowry."

Chen Yinghua also agreed with her husband's words and gave Xiaohu examples of some "young talents" in the town. Without exception, they were all more than five years older than his sister.

"Mom and Dad, I don't agree with this, and Uncle Gu will definitely not agree with it. Even if my sister can't afford to go to school, she can't get married so early. She is still a minor at 15 years old. It is illegal for you to force her to get married. !" Xiaohu was so angry that he doubted his parents' character for the first time. He was so angry that he crushed the ice cream cone in his hand, and the melted cream dripped down and stuck to his hand.

"Is this illegal or not? All the female dolls in our entire Qingshan Town are like this. Are we going to arrest everyone in the town?!"

Chen Wenbo was also very angry when he heard this. He parked the car on the side of the road with some excitement and turned around to argue with his son.

"Okay, Old Chen, what Sibo said makes sense. He is someone who has lived in a big city, so he must know more than people from small places like us!"

Chen Yinghua's face didn't look good either, but she still stopped her husband and turned to her son.

"Sibo, how about this? We don't ask Mr. Gu to fund your sister's dowry. Instead, we can use it as money for schooling. Let her go to school with you. From the first grade onwards, she can learn some culture. What do you think? ?”

Xiaohu's expression softened a little after hearing Chen Yinghua's words, and he nodded and agreed: "Uncle Gu and I said that the tuition fees and additional subsidies for my sister and two younger brothers will be accounted for. When we grow up, we brothers and sisters will pay it back together!"

It is a good thing to go to school. His parents may have those feudal ideas because they have never gone to school and are uneducated. Although it is a bit difficult to ask Uncle Gu to support his sister and two younger brothers, he will not let him give the money in vain. Take your sister and brother to study hard, get some results, and repay them later.

"Sibo, as long as you have this intention, don't mention repaying the money in front of Mr. Gu, otherwise he will take your words seriously and let people record the account, and we will be in trouble if we can't pay it back in the future!"

"Yes, Sibo, the Niuniu you mentioned just now, her mother probably didn't want to pay it back, right? If you don't mention it, the richest man wouldn't be embarrassed to keep accounts. The Gu family has hundreds of billions of assets and won't care to give out such a small amount. !”

Chen Wenbo and Chen Yinghua were very happy when their son agreed to ask for money. The dowry money and tuition fees were both money, and it was their business to use it.

Gu Guoxing is the richest man, so he shouldn't give too little, but there is no reason to pay back the money he got. He needs to tell his son in advance about this and not let him make a fool of himself!
"No, no matter how much money Uncle Gu has, there is no reason to give it away casually. He has already spent a lot of money on installing the best prosthetics for me. If we ask him to help support our family again, we must keep accounts."

Xiaohu was very insistent on this matter. Hearing this, his face was serious and he refused to back down.

He had lived in a small dark room for so many years, and he often saw abducted children being sold, and a group of traffickers gathered around to drink and count money in celebration.

Although the nature of other people's funding and these ill-gotten gains are different, they are both obtained for nothing and are not advisable.

Xiaohu doesn't want to get something for nothing. He has read a lot of books and TV shows at the rescue station during this period, and has also taken classes with teachers. He knows that money obtained for nothing is not lasting. If you want it, you will want more, and you will squander it without restraint, so He wants to make money on his own!
"Sibo, don't be angry. Your parents were just joking with you. Your hands were stained by the ice cream. Mom went down and bought you a pack of tissues to wipe them with!"

After Xiaohu finished speaking, the car fell into silence, but soon Chen Yinghua took the lead to break the stiff atmosphere and returned to his previous gentle demeanor. He opened the car door and got off the car at the canteen next to it.
