Liu Qi's small home is always full of laughter. The husband is considerate, the son is lively and cute, and life is like a brisk song. But lately, there seems to be some dissonant notes mixed in with the song. The second sister came to visit the door from time to time, and every time she wanted to take advantage of the "school district room".
"Qiqi, you see that your son is still young, and the quota in the school district is empty, so it is better to let your second sister's daughter also have a name, anyway, you will not suffer. The second aunt smiled flatteringly.
Liu Qi was entangled in her heart, she was not stingy, but the number of places in this school district was really limited, and her son would also go to school in the future, what if something went wrong? She thought about it, and decided to talk to her second aunt about it.
"Second aunt, it's not that I don't help, it's really that this place is limited, and I have to think about my son. Liu Qi said as tactfully as possible.
But the second aunt was not happy when she heard it, and her face changed all of a sudden......
"Oh, Kiki, you're out of sight! We're all a family, shouldn't we help each other?" the second aunt frowned, a little displeased and turned away.
Liu Qi sighed, she knew that this matter was not so easy to solve. "Second aunt, it's really not that I don't help, this school district house is the dowry given to me by my parents, and I have to think about my son. What should I do if there is a policy change in the future, or if the school has new requirements for the school district?"
"What changes can there be?" Aren't all good schools now looking at household registration and real estate certificates? You're making a big fuss!" the second aunt waved her hand disapplausively.
Liu Qi felt the bitterness in her heart, she felt like she was caught in the middle, and neither side was human. She looked at her son who was playing on the side, and her heart was even more entangled.
"Second sister, do you know how difficult it is to raise a child now? From milk powder money to tuition fees, which is not an expense? This school district house is like a back road for my son, and I really can't give it up easily. Liu Qi tried to make the second aunt understand her difficulties.
But the second aunt obviously didn't listen, she snorted coldly, "Hmph, you are a small citizen mentality, only thinking about your own little interests." If my big treasure can enter that good school, he will have a bright future in the future, why can't you, who is an aunt, be generous?"
Liu Qi was speechless, and she felt that she couldn't make sense with her second aunt. She took a deep breath and decided to communicate with her second aunt in a different way.
"Second Aunt, if not, I'll help you inquire about the situation of other schools, or see if there are other ways to get Dabao into a good school?" Liu Qi asked tentatively.
"Other schools, how can you compare with this school? Your school district is a prime location!" The second aunt's eyes widened and she looked at Liu Qi in disbelief.
Looking at the appearance of the second aunt, Liu Qi was also angry in her heart, but she still patiently explained: "Second aunt, it's not that I don't want to help, it's that I really can't take this risk." If something goes wrong, how can I explain it to my son? Why can't you understand me?"
When the second aunt heard this, her face softened a little, but she still said unwillingly: "Okay, okay, I'll think of a way." However, if you have any trouble here, you have to tell me as soon as possible!"
Liu Qi smiled helplessly and nodded in agreement. She knew it wasn't over yet, but at least for the time being, she avoided a family uproar. She looked at the back of her second aunt leaving, and her heart was mixed. The alluring fruit of the school district house seems to have become an unavoidable topic in their family......
After the second aunt left, Liu Qi thought that she could breathe a sigh of relief temporarily. Unexpectedly, a few days later, the second aunt came to the door with a sad face. This time, her attitude has obviously softened a lot, but there is still a sense of unwillingness in her tone.
"Kiki, I know you're embarrassed, but I really can't help it. Dabao yells every day to go to that good school, and I'm so anxious about my mother. The second aunt said, her eyes were a little red.
Liu Qi looked at her second aunt like this, and she didn't feel good in her heart. She sighed and was about to open her mouth to comfort, but she was choked by the second aunt's next words.
"Kiki, I know you have a way, can you... Can you lend us your hukou, just go down, and when Dabao enters the school, we will move out immediately, and we will not cause you trouble. The second aunt said this sentence almost pleadingly.
Liu Qi was stunned, she didn't expect her second aunt to make such a request. Lending out your account is not a trivial matter! If something goes wrong, won't you get into big trouble?
Liu Qi's husband also heard the words of the second aunt, he frowned, and just wanted to open his mouth to refuse, but was stopped by Liu Qi with his eyes. Liu Qi took a deep breath and tried to make her tone sound calmer.
"Second aunt, I understand your difficulties, but the matter of household registration is really not a trivial matter. If something goes wrong, our whole family will be affected. Can you think of another way?"
When the second aunt heard Liu Qi say this, the expression on her face instantly became ugly. She didn't seem to expect Liu Qi to refuse so simply.
"You...... What do you mean by this? If you don't want to help, just say it, why make so many excuses!" The second sister's tone became sharp.
Liu Qi's husband couldn't stand it anymore, he stood up and stood in front of Liu Qi: "Second sister, don't go too far." This school district house is Kiki's dowry, and we are not obligated to help you. And we're already trying our best to help you think of other options, and you don't have to do anything. ”
The second sister was so angry that Liu Qi's husband's words trembled, she stood up suddenly, pointed at Liu Qi's nose and scolded: "You couple with no conscience! I was really blind at the beginning, so I thought you were good people! I tell you, don't think it's great to have a school district house, I ...... it."
Without waiting for the second aunt to finish speaking, Liu Qi's husband pushed her away: "Enough!
The second aunt stumbled and almost fell to the ground. She glared at Liu Qi and his wife viciously, then turned around and slammed the door.
After this family turmoil, Liu Qi and her husband fell silent. They knew that this incident had completely damaged their relationship with their second sister, but they did not regret their decision. Because it is more important for them to protect the future of their families and children than anything else.
A few days after the turmoil, Liu Qi met her second aunt at the door of her house. The two looked at each other for a while, and the atmosphere was a little awkward. In the end, Liu Qi opened her mouth first: "Second aunt, are you okay?"
The second aunt was stunned for a moment, and then snorted coldly: "Am I okay, shouldn't you know it very well?"
Liu Qi sighed: "Second sister, I really don't want to be your enemy, it's just that I also have my difficulties." ”
"Forget it, it's already like this, it's useless to say more. The second aunt's tone softened a little, "I won't trouble you again in the future." ”
When Liu Qi heard this, her heart was also a lot easier: "Second sister, I hope you can understand me." ”
The two said a few more homely words, although the atmosphere was still a little awkward, but at least it was no longer tense. Liu Qi knew that this turmoil had finally passed.
