Chiang Baoguo urged her to go back home every day and even said that when he called home, their parents had been incessantly asking and even lost their temper, telling her to hurry up and bring Chiang Caijiao back, but she had made up her mind not to go back, no matter what anyone said.
"Shut your mouth, what are you blabbering about?" Chiang Baoguo felt his face grow hot and couldn’t help but snap at her.
He was sure that Chiang Songhai had no idea about his affair with Ding Meifen, and if it were discovered, how would he save face? He cared deeply about his reputation.
"If you don’t go back, what about Caijiao? Is she supposed to just stop going to school?" Chiang Songhai was taken aback.
He was aware of Ding Meifen’s situation, after all, Chiang Xiao had briefly mentioned it when she returned, and Liu Pei had discovered their affair long ago back in Peace Town.
But Song Xiyun staying here was no solution either.
In Chiang Songhai’s opinion, it would be better for Chiang Baoguo to return, especially now that Ding Meifen was living in the county city anyway. If Chiang Baoguo went back, he could cut ties with her. If they all stayed here, who knew what troubles might arise upon meeting again.
"It doesn’t matter whether the girl goes to school or not," Song Xiyun waved her hand indifferently.
After all, Chiang Caijiao had been frequently absent from school.
Previously, when Chiang Baohe made a fuss at home every day, Ho Laidi would let Chiang Caijiao take leave every other day to help out at home.
"How can that be okay? She still needs to go to school, getting an education is the way to a better life," Chiang Songhai was genuinely worried for Chiang Caijiao.
"Second Uncle is right, how long has Caijiao been taking leave? I think you better take her and go back, you can come back during the holidays, can’t you?" Chiang Baoguo quickly chimed in, "And Dongdong, how can you be such a mother, leaving Dongdong at home with our parents, running off here by yourself, doing nothing at all?"
"I’ve told you already, when you go back you should bring Dongdong here too!" Song Xiyun said, "Also, why not just let them attend school in the county city? Then our family of four can be together, wouldn’t that work?"
"Nonsense! Do you think anyone can just decide to attend school in the county city?"
"How come Chiang Xiao managed it?" Song Xiyun immediately looked to Chiang Songhai, saying, "Second Uncle, you really must help us out this time. Chiang Xiao is quite capable, isn’t she? I see that some of her well-off classmates come from influential families in the county city, right? Convince Chiang Xiao to help her brother and sister out, get them transferred to the county city to attend school, they could keep each other company too!"
That was one of the reasons Song Xiyun had come to seek Chiang Songhai’s help.
Seeing Ding Meifen and her daughter this time truly rattled Song Xiyun, no matter what, the sight of Chiang Baoguo with those two was embedded in her mind and she couldn’t forget it.
She felt that if she left, Chiang Baoguo would surely be lured away by that temptress again.
Chiang Baoguo was stunned for a moment, then became irritated.
He really didn’t know that Song Xiyun had such a plan in mind, no wonder she, who usually watched him like a hawk and wouldn’t let him go anywhere, was so excited today about visiting Chiang Songhai’s home.
Chiang Xiao? He now truly believed that Chiang Xiao had such capability.
Chiang Songhai was also stunned for a moment, "How can that work? Little Little got into high school after taking her exams to come to the county city, didn’t she? The students from our town’s middle school also come to the county city for high school after their exams, right? Caijiao and Dongdong are in elementary school, it’s not the same as her situation."
"How is it different?" Song Xiyun scoffed, unconvinced, "There are elementary schools in the county city! Just need to find someone to help, pay some money, why can’t they come here for elementary school?"
