Seeing Uncle's family all speaking up for her, Er Ya suddenly gained courage. She looked at the old lady with eyes that mixed hope, desire, and anxious pleading, and said, "Granny, I truly love studying, I will definitely study hard and strive for a scholarship! When I'm successful and can earn money in the future, I will definitely support the family and take good care of you and Grandpa! Please, let me go to school. When I come back from school, I will do the household chores, and during the summer and winter breaks, I will work in the fields with you. I won't neglect the work."
Zhang Guihua's anger somewhat subsided after being persuaded by several people one after another, but her thoughts didn't waver at all.
After all, if Er Ya were to go to school, she would have to shell out eight yuan for just one semester, not to mention other expenses.
Zhiwen was also about to start junior high, where there would be even more expenses.
