At that time, William Astir was in poor health and needed regular medication, but he had no money to pay for Isla Astir's tuition, so he had to borrow from relatives.
Who would have known?
William's several brothers immediately said that a girl would inevitably marry off someday, and that attending high school was meaningless.
Especially since Isla was so beautiful, they argued that even if not for her family, she would eventually elope with someone.
Almost nobody agreed to the idea of Isla attending high school.
Still, it was Windy Armstrong who loaned the money for Isla to attend high school.
Though she now had the tuition, she still needed living expenses and miscellaneous fees. Fortunately, Isla was determined; she took part-time jobs every winter and summer vacation. By her senior year, her comic drawing skills had started to improve significantly, and she earned her first sizable payment.
6000.
