158 Happy

After listening to Sister Song’s long story, Qu Zhi began to plan for them in her heart.

The money needed to go abroad was at least tens of thousands. Money should be a problem for Sister Song. Didn’t their family like to invest? It would probably be a little tight to take out so much cash.

In addition, the expenses of attending an elite school were not small in the past few years before he went abroad.

In addition, even if money was not a problem, the safety of the children was still a problem. Song Mei was still young and didn’t know how dangerous the outside world was. When she grew up, she might not like the decision she made now.

Qu Zhi also frowned.

Sister Song sighed. “If the child wants to go, then let her go. She’s always so hardworking. As her parents, we don’t want to see her suffer.” She was willing to do anything as long as her child was happy.

Song Mei, who was eavesdropping on the other side, heard everything clearly. She suddenly felt a lump in her throat and tears the size of beans kept falling down. Her eyes were swollen like peaches.

Song Mei hesitated again but couldn’t think of a better way. She did not want to continue attending primary school classes in the country and did not dare to do so.

Of course, Chuchu didn’t know what Song Mei was crying about. The word ‘overseas’ was still foreign to her.

She wiped Song Mei’s tears with a handkerchief and tried to comfort her as her grandmother did. “Sister Song Mei, it’s okay. Don’t be afraid. You still have me!”

Song Mei looked at Chuchu in a daze. But there was no light in his eyes. “Chuchu, you’re the best.”

Seeing her like this made Chuchu feel bad. She also hoped she could help Sister Song Mei, but she was too young and didn’t know how to help. Jiang City was big enough for her. She would only know the outside world after she grew up.

During lunch, the people at the table didn’t say anything. The adults were all very serious, and Song Mei’s face was still streaked with tears. The atmosphere was eerily quiet.

Chuchu couldn’t take it anymore.

She blew air at Sisi’s little face, tickling her and making Sisi giggle. Looking at the drooling and giggling little pistachios, the mood of the people at the table finally calmed down a little.

Only then did Qu Zhi feel a little better, and she finally had a way to deal with this matter.

In fact, it was not a particularly difficult thing to deal with. It was just that Sister Song had not decided on it herself and did not weigh the benefits properly. Thus, she made a mountain out of a molehill, increasing her worries.

“Sister Song, don’t worry. You still have me.” Qu Zhi smiled as she placed some food into Sister Song’s bowl. “This is indeed a good thing for Song Mei. Who doesn’t want their children to suffer less? If you really want to do it, then do it. Leave the things you regret to the future.”

Sister Song seemed to have thought it through, but she was still a little worried. “I don’t know anyone regarding studying abroad. It’s a big project.”

In this era, there were not many overseas study agents, but it was a big deal once they encountered scammers. Children and money were precious, and they could not lose either.

“Take it slow.” Qu Zhi picked up another piece of red braised meat for Song Mei. “Song Mei, don’t worry. With Auntie here, you’ll definitely be able to get into an International School.”

It was indeed a little busy looking for people, but she was genuinely happy that she could help Sister Song. She now had the ability to help her friend, which was a small achievement.

The knot in Sister Song’s brows was finally untied. Qu Zhi was capable now. Sister Song knew that there was hope when she looked into her eyes. She was reliable.

After Sister Song and the others left, Chuchu had to do two sets of test papers and practice piano for an hour as usual.

However, Qu Zhi stopped her today and looked into her eyes, “You only need to do our summer homework today. You don’t need to do extra homework in the future.”

Chuchu was still so young, and she suddenly felt she had pushed her too far. Song Mei’s case just now gives her a reminder.

Chuchu’s eyes instantly lit up!

I don’t have to do two sets of practice papers. That would be great. She counted with her little fingers. It would only take her two hours to finish her summer homework in the afternoon. After four o’clock, she would be “free”!

“Then what should I do?” Chuchu looked at Qu Zhi with anticipation.

Can I watch TV? Can I play with Chen En? Can I have ice cream?

“You can rest and read by yourself. You can only watch TV for half an hour.” Qu Zhi smiled.

“Then, the pocket money…” Chuchu had a beautiful dream.

However, when she saw Qu Zhi’s expression darken, she realized she had asked too much. She hurriedly ran back to her room. “I’m going to do my homework, Mom!”
