Chapter 10 - Make a Concession


Chapter 10: Make a Concession

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

For some reason, Yun Xi felt that she was suffocating under Zhou Lin’s burning gaze.

She recalled that she was almost 30 years old in her previous life. In this life, Zhou Lin was only 26 years old. Nevertheless, he seemed like a junior to her.

Yun Xi’s forehead and back began to ooze with tiny beads of sweat. The most important thing to do now was to escape. If she stayed any longer, she would be seen through.

After she left, the natural body fragrance of a sweaty young girl still lingered in the guest room.

Perhaps Yun Xi did not know that according to scientific research, one would only give off a unique body fragrance in front of the person they liked. In this life, she might have already fallen for Zhou Lin, but the two of them were still unaware of it!

Some time later, her eldest uncle and eldest aunt returned home. The three sisters-in-law gathered around the stove to prepare dinner for the uncle and nephew of the Zhou family.

As Old Master Yun was in the hall just now, he was angry at the incident that took place in the morning. Everyone at the dining table did not dare to make a scene again. They peacefully finished their dinner.

After dinner, the sky had completely darkened. Everyone returned to their rooms to sleep.

“Knock, knock…”

At this moment, there was a series of urgent knocks on the door of the youngest son’s room.

In the 1980s, the eldest son’s family would usually sleep in the same room. The parents and children would usually sleep on the same bed. When Yun Xi heard the knocks on the door, she was sure that the person was Yun Lian.

“Come in.”

Yun Shan tidied up the bedding and let her in.

“Dad, Mom.

“Sister.”

Yun Lian first greeted Yun Shan and his wife before reluctantly greeting Yun Xi.

Yun Lian was a double-dealing hypocrite.

When her eldest uncle and eldest aunt were by her side, Yun Lian would call Yun Shan and his wife ‘Uncle’ and ‘Aunt’. When they were not by her side, she would call them ‘Dad’ and ‘Mom’.

Now that Yun Xi thought about it, Yun Lian’s double-dealing behavior was really disgusting!

Yun Lian walked toward Yun Shan, took out a 100-yuan banknote, and handed it to him.

“Dad, here’s a little tuition fee that I’ve saved up myself. I’ll leave it with you for now. I’m afraid that if my adoptive mother finds out, I might not lose it.”

Sure enough, while Yun Lian discussed serious matters, she did not forget to hold Yun Shan in high regard.

“I also want to go to school like my sister, but I might not be as lucky as her as I don’t have the chance. I want to use this 100 yuan to go to school. Dad, is that okay?”

She claimed that she saved up the money herself, but how much pocket money could her aunt give her? This was what she received from coaxing Zhou Mo. She was such a good liar.

In the 1980s, the tuition fee for half a year was 120 yuan.

Since Yun Lian brought this 100 yuan note to Yun Shan today, she must have made up her mind to ask her own family to help her make up for this deficit. After all, if she told her eldest aunt about this, not only would she not have the chance to go to school, but she might also lose the 100 yuan.

“Sister, I remember that the tuition fee is 120 yuan, right? The money you gave Dad is obviously not enough.”

Yun Lian lowered her head and interweaved her index fingers.

“Dad, I really want to go to school like Sister.”

“Why don’t we make up the 20 yuan for Lian Lian?”

In fact, Yun Shan took pity on Yun Lian. 20 yuan was neither too much nor too little. Having said that, this sum of money was enough for his family to spend for a period of time, so he was still in a dilemma.

What Yun Shan’s wife said hit him.

“Alright, wait until autumn. I’ll let you and Sister go to school together.”

Yun Xi was not in a position to say anything else. After all, Yun Lian was an adopted child. Yun Shan and his wife had always felt that they had wronged this child. This could be considered as another form of atonement.

However, Yun Xi secretly swore in her heart that this was the last time that Yun Lian would benefit from her family and take advantage of their guilt.
