Ruanruan was a little girl who didn't cry much. Aside from when her diaper was wet or when she was hungry, she barely ever cried, which saved Xue Yue a lot of trouble.
"Third Aunt, I don't want to go to school anymore, but my dad won't agree."
He Ziqing said softly, a worried look on her face.
Xue Yue looked at her. "What's wrong? Don't you like school?"
He Ziqing shook her head, her gaze lowered. "It's not that. It's just... I want to stay home to take care of my little brother and help with the chores."
Xue Yue understood where He Ziqing was coming from. Her parents had suddenly divorced, and Tuanzi was still so little. It was natural for her to want to stay home and help.
"Your grandma will help look after Tuanzi, and your dad is still at home!"
He Ziqing mumbled, "School costs money, and it's not very useful these days anyway. I see a lot of people who graduate high school but don't get assigned a job. Even if I finish high school, I'll still just end up back at home."
