Defending Him

There were still two hours before she left school. In the middle of the night, Gu Meng's stomach felt a little uncomfortable and she got up to go to the washroom.

After she was done, she passed by her parents' room. Seeing that the lights were on inside, she looked in through the crack of the door.

Her expression changed.

Mrs Gu sat by the bed while Mr Gu knelt on the floor. Mrs Gu was tugging on his ear. "Why is she still studying after graduating from junior high? Even if she's the top student in the village, the school hasn't given her a scholarship to waive her tuition fees. Our family has to pay for it, and Cheche and Jiaojiao have to study as well. She's just a girl, it's enough for her to finish junior high. If you continue to defend her, we won't be able to survive."

"That child has good grades and likes to study. Let her go to high school!"
