At that moment, Xiao Baoshan regained his usual composure, “As the eldest brother, I should be responsible for Baofeng’s private school tuition, but now it is little Ye who… I feel very ashamed when little Ye brought it up. I can’t just let you to pay for Baofeng’s tuition fee. I should also make a contribution. ”

“Then, it’s a deal. Let’s arrange Baofeng to go to private school next month,” said Li Hongmei excitedly.

She then turned to Xiao Baofeng, “Baofeng, you have seen it all tonight that you have such a brilliant brother and a brilliant sister-in-law. When you go to private school, you have to work really, really hard. When you make a living on yourself in the future, you have to repay your brother and your sister-in-law.”

Xiao Baofeng was a kid after all and he couldn’t hold back his happiness when he knew that he could go to private school. He then looked at Ye Xiaoxian and Xiao Baoshan with gratification. “Thank you, brother. Thank you, sister-in-law. I…I’ll wash all the dishes today. No one is allowed to fight with me over them!”

Everyone laughed heartily seeing Baofeng’s dramatic behaviour.

Only Xiao Baozhu’s laugh was kind of forced.

Ye Xiaoxian and Li Hongmei continued to sell cold jelly in the town.

The business went even smoother than before. On the first day the cold jelly were sold out by the evening, and the next day they were sold out just by afternoon. On the third day, someone bought half a bucket directly. The man said that he was the housekeeper of an eminent family, and he needed the cold jelly to entertain the guests.

Ye Xiaoxian and Li Hongmei were more and more excited. Seeing the copper coins in their purse was piling up, Baofeng’s tuition should be settled. But on the fourth day, the place where they put their cold jelly stand was occupied by others!

The one who occupied their place was also a cold jelly seller and a board was hung up in the front of his stand, written with “Bridgehead Cold Jelly” on it.
