Ms. Jia looked at Ms. Lu pitifully as she was speaking. "My dear sister-in-law, talk to him for us. Don't let Second Brother be angry with us."
Ms. Lu glanced at Xie Niushan and said while smiling, "You guys are overthinking. Niushan is bad-tempered. The money is indeed less this time, it's our fault.

We're running out of money all of a sudden. We can't give more. We'll make it up to you next time when life's better."
The old lady stood up immediately. "5,000 taels!? All just for discipleship? Why would a girl need to go to school!?"
Xie Qiao raised her brows.
