"So that's the case, sir; thank you," Luo's Mom said. "Just let me know how much the tuition is, and from now on, I'll leave the child in your care." Upon hearing English, she reacted immediately, and although the Luo siblings were usually left to roam free like pigs in the woods, it didn't mean she, as their keeper, wasn't aware of what her children struggled with or what they enjoyed.
"Exactly, Grandpa," Luo Qianqian chimed in, looking at her brother Luo Shufan with a somewhat gloomy expression but still stuck out her tongue to add insult to injury. "You must help my brother surpass all those older kids and continue being number one, okay?"
"Sure thing." To the surprise of everyone outside, including Luo Qianqian, Elder Zhang readily agreed, "Let those two kids study too. Teaching one or three, it's all the same, isn't it? The more the merrier. Competition fosters progress."
"I don't…"
"That's really nice of you."
"You are putting us in your debt with this."
"Sounds great!"
