He called her again at night and finally the call went through.

Father Su had gone to work during the day, and was mentally and physically exhausted.

It was Chinese New Year, and the business in the store was better. Many cars came to do maintenance every day or repair some scratches. They wanted to brighten the car before the New Year and have a face when going out.

He was leaning on the sofa with his phone in his ear. When Mother Su saw that, she said, “What do you need her for? Just let her stay outside. She is willing to endure hardships. What are you stopping her for? I tell you, only when she eats bitterness will she naturally know that our family is better. Let her eat less!”

Grandma Su said while picking vegetables, “You are still looking for her? In my opinion, when she got on holiday, she should have been sent to our shop to wash cars. We could save 3,000 yuan. If you don’t give her tuition fee for the next semester, see if she dare to run from home.”

Father Su was a little weak. The phone was connected, Su Xingchen’s ears were sharp. She didn’t hear anything, but Mother Su’s last words were clear. She frowned and asked, “You won’t pay my tuition fee for the next semester?”

The tuition fee for a semester in an International high school was forty-five thousand yuan, which didn’t include a series of fees such as accommodation, books, and meals. Adding these, the estimated cost for a semester was nearly 60,000.

Father Su said, “Don’t listen to your grandma. She is talking nonsense. She is just talking about other people’s affairs.”

Father Su stood up helplessly and walked to the balcony. A tatami was now placed on the balcony, and there was no place to stand. He had to stand by the glass door, because the balcony was covered with futons, fearing that the futons would get wet by dew, the balcony windows were closed. Now, when he opened the glass door, it smelled, so he closed the glass door again and walked to the south balcony to sit, “Chen Chen, where are you now? Why didn’t you come back after the New Year? Why do you have such a big temper, and how can you be angry with your mother and your grandmother? Do you still not understand them? Such people are careless.”

Su Xingchen didn’t listen. All she thought about was the tuition fee of the next semester.

She didn’t know if what the old lady said was true or not. If she wasn’t prepared, once they cut off her tuition, she had no solution.

Then she said, “I am earning my living expenses.”

“How do you earn your living expenses? Didn’t I give you money? Although I didn’t give you more than your sister and Yangyang, it’s also because I’m afraid that you will spend money on unnecessary things. Your sister and Yangyang had been sensible since childhood. Even if they got money, they know …” Father Su frowned thinking of the strange costumes and cosmetics his daughter had worn before,” How much do you want? You tell me. How much can you earn working in other people’s homes? Earn two thousand? Wash cars in my shop during the winter vacation, and get three thousand in a month. If you really want to work for yourself and earn living expenses, why don’t you come to my store?”

Su Xingchen hung up the call.

Although she told herself that she didn’t care about them anymore, she didn’t know why, she panicked when she heard this.

But soon, she adjusted her emotions.

The old lady Su didn’t know that Su Xingchen had hung up the phone and said to Father Su, “You play lute to the cow, whip the horse, it’s all useless. I think you are too lean to her. What’s wrong? Why can’t she go to help you wash cars? Pay her salary? Give her salary to let her go outside and mix with her scum friends?”

Father Su had taken the phone off his ear and didn’t want to listen to the old lady talking.

Su Xingyang heard the old lady’s words and couldn’t help but refute, “Grandma, the second sister didn’t go out to mix with anyone. She got a rank in the first two hundred grades this semester!”

The old woman Su didn’t speak.

Father Su said to himself, “She is 16 years old, what can she do outside?”

Mrs. Su had just been stunned by her grandson, and immediately sprayed her anger on her son, “What can she do? Wash the dishes and serve as a waiter! Besides this, what do you think she can do?”

Su Xingchen, who was thought to be washing dishes and bowls, was considering tuition fees for the next semester.

She at first had an casual attitude towards this variety show, but at this moment she couldn’t help being serious. Anyway, she had to earn money and become independent before she could do anything else.

Cheng Kangyao hung up his phone and stared at it.

Earlier, Cheng Kangyao reported to Mr. Zhao’s cram school. After Su Xingchen left, he was too lazy to go. Every day, the tutor came and he studied at home for a few days. He went home during the winter vacation, and Curly called him out to play games. He went back once and found it boring. He held his phone to play unlimited games. The phone slid to the end of his fingertips, turned over, and slid.

Curly was quickly killed by someone in the game. Seeing Cheng Kangyao holding his phone, he asked, “Are you waiting for a call?”

“Who is waiting for a call? Can’t I just look at it?”

“Yes, why not? You have a broken phone and watch it once every three seconds. Is there a flower on your cell phone?” Curly grew up with him, so he knew him very well. He took his phone, “I will call her.”

Frightened, Cheng Kangyao jumped and quickly grabbed his

phone. He pressed the hang up button, “I will call her by myself!”

Then he pressed Su Xingchen’s number, and no one answered.

Cheng Kangyao was very depressed, just like a slouchy big dog, his chin rested on the back of the chair, his ears sagged.

After sitting for a while, he felt bored. He got up and said, “I’m going.”

“Where are you going?” Curly quickly turned around and asked him.

He didn’t look back, “Go home to solve question papers.”
