Regardless of whether Liu Dadong is really willing or not, it has been confirmed that Mingyue will go to Province N to study.
During the entire summer vacation that followed, Mingyue, in addition to taking care of household chores, spent most of her time at the village chief's house, tutoring her younger brother Junhao.
In response to this, the village head and his wife became even nicer to Mingyue. They would prepare a portion for Mingyue for whatever they prepared for their son, and it was like they were treating their own daughter.
When Liu Dadong found out that his daughter always went to the village chief's house, he was so angry that his face was twisted.
As if he was afraid that his daughter would forget who her real father was, he would make some sarcastic remarks in front of Mingyue from time to time, saying things like "girls are extroverted, they are mean, and they can't tell the difference between inside and outside". These words almost became his catchphrases, and he turned himself into a resentful father.
Of course, people like him never reflect on themselves, and naturally don’t know that only by giving your heart can you receive your heart. It is always one-sided giving, and even if they are father and daughter by blood, it will be tiring.
But Mingyue didn't care, anyway, she never thought of living with Liu Dadong forever. He was full of negative energy, which would only crush himself.
The summer vacation passed in a flash, and it was almost time for school to start. It was time for Mingyue to leave Liujia Village and go to Province N.
Mingyue had packed her luggage a few days ago. She didn't have much stuff, just a few sets of clothes, quilts, washcloths and other daily necessities.
But after packing up the things, there is still the issue of money to be resolved.
In fact, it is reasonable that if it is in other places, the school will give corresponding bonuses to the top scorers in the college entrance examination. Some local entrepreneurs even give bonuses to the top scorers in the local college entrance examination in order to promote their own companies. The top scorers in the college entrance examination should not be short of money.
But Liujia Village is too remote and too poor, so all Liu Mingyue received were spiritual rewards, words of praise from teachers and villagers, and envious looks from classmates.
So now Mingyue felt his pocket and searched all the places where Liu Mingyue had hidden her money, but found only seventy-three yuan and sixty-two cents in total.
This amount of money is not enough to buy a train ticket to Province N, let alone the living expenses at school next month.
So Mingyue found Liu Dadong and asked for money confidently: "Dad, I will be leaving in two days, you should give me the car fare and the first month's living expenses first."
Due to Liu Mingyue's excellence, the Agricultural University of Province N explicitly stated that it would not charge her tuition and miscellaneous fees, and the school would also give her a scholarship. However, this did not stop Mingyue from asking for money. After all, money is never a problem, so it is better to be prepared.
Mingyue also had another idea in her mind. If Liu Dadong was unwilling to give money, she could just make a name for him in the village. If he did something against her in the future, this could help suppress him.
It's not that Mingyue is judging others by her own mean standards, but Liu Dadong really doesn't seem like a good person when it comes to doing human things. After all, what he is best at is using the name of his father to carry out moral blackmail.
Mingyue was right in her guess. Liu Dadong was really unwilling to give her money. As soon as he heard her mention money, he jumped up high.
Liu Dadong sneered and said, "Money, money, what do you want from me? Aren't you going to live in your other old man's house? Then go ask him for it. You are about to take his surname, why do you think of me when you want money?"
Mingyue was not surprised at what he said.
Mingyue said calmly: "You are my biological father, so I will definitely ask you for money. And I only want it this time, I will definitely repay you more than this in the future."
Liu Dadong's voice rose slightly: "Repay me? I think you want to repay Liu Yongchao, right? I don't need you to repay me, and you don't need to ask me for money. Aren't you going to study in another place? Then go, I see you don't have money, how can you go?"
"You really won't give it to me?" "I won't give it to you."
Mingyue nodded, "Okay, I understand."
Mingyue didn't argue with him, turned around and walked out.
Liu Dadong was stunned. When he saw her walking towards the village chief's house, his face suddenly darkened again. He couldn't help but yelled, "If you have the ability, don't come back. I want to see how much you can ask them for?"
It was almost time for lunch and everyone in the village was cooking at home. When the people nearby heard Liu Dadong's roar, they all poked their heads out curiously.
There were also some old men sitting and chatting at the door. When they saw Mingyue coming out of the house with tears in her eyes, they were all surprised and hesitant.
"Yue Wa, what's going on? Why are you so angry?"
"It's almost lunch time, where are you going?"
"What's going on? Yuewa, why are you crying? Who bullied you?"
"Have you eaten yet? How about going to Great Grandpa's house for lunch?"
"… "
Most of the villagers were simple and honest people, and they were all related to each other. So when they saw Mingyue's appearance, they all came over to comfort and ask questions.
Mingyue shook her head and shed several tears, but pursed her lips and said nothing.
The oldest old man among them, who was also the brother of Liu Mingyue's grandfather, and was called great-grandfather by her according to their seniority, stood up from the stone at the door with the help of a cane.
The grandfather's face was ruddy and his expression was very serious: "What's going on? Yuewa, tell me, is your husband doing something wrong again? Don't be afraid, if he is really wrong, I will support you and help you teach him a lesson."
As if she had found a backer and a place to vent her grievances, Mingyue could no longer hold back the tears on her face. She wiped her tears with the back of her hand and finally spoke: "I will go to school in a few days, and I asked my dad for living expenses, but he didn't give me any, not a penny, and told me to ask my godfather for it."
At this point, she sniffed and paused before saying, "He also said that I couldn't go to school without money. He didn't seem to want me to go out."
When the grandfather heard such nonsense, he was so angry that he could hardly stand and almost fell down. Fortunately, Mingyue had been paying attention to him and helped him up in time.
"This unlucky man can't even tolerate his own daughter. He is just a fool with a bump on his head. He won't even enjoy the blessing." The grandfather cursed Liu Dadong in dialect, and then patted Mingyue's arm, "It's okay, Haoyuewa, you still need a lot of money, just tell the grandfather, I'll ask your fifth father and the youngest father to help you."
Although they are all relatives, they are two generations apart. What's more, everyone in Liujia Village is poor, and asking them to pay is equivalent to causing conflict. Mingyue naturally would not let the elders collect money.
She was just using the power of money to make Liu Dadong's actions known to the public.
