Zhang Huai was stunned as he listened to his parents decide in a few moments that he would be going to school. Just a minute ago, he was still feeling sorry for Juhua! Still, he was naturally happy that he'd be able to attend school with Qingmu.
'But would the family be able to manage all the work? And what about the tuition? Even though it's very little, it's still a monthly expense. If I stop earning money and start spending it instead, can the family afford it? Besides, my little brother, Zhang Yang, is only ten. He has to go to school too.'
He told his parents about his worries.
Zhang Dashuan shot him a look and said, "You're older, so of course you'll study and help with the farm work at the same time. The school is very close to home, anyway. For now, we don't have to worry about finding you a wife, so our family can still afford this little bit of tuition."
