Chapter 111: Refund
After Yun Yang left, Liu Fang had an unhappy expression on her face.
Yun Lian had just stepped into her own home when she saw Yun Lang and Liu Fang staring at her angrily.
“Mom, what happened to my little brother?” Yun Lian asked in confusion.
“You ingrate! Do you still know how to come back? I thought you didn’t have your little brother, me, or this family in your heart.”
Liu Fang immediately revealed her malicious expression.
“Mom, what are you saying there? How can I not have you in my heart?” Although Yun Lian did not know what was happening, she still had to maintain her composure.
“You actually dared to secretly pay the tuition fees behind our backs. Do you know what those tuition fees mean? That’s enough to cover the food expenses of our family for two months!” Liu Fang said angrily.
Yun Lian was stunned at first, then her expression began to become nervous.
“You probably didn’t even take out the money that the Zhou family gave you back then. You still have a portion of it left in your hands, right? What a cunning creature you are!” Liu Fang did not expect Yun Lian to be scheming behind her back.
“I...” Yun Lian was at a loss for words. She could tell that her life was going to be miserable.
“You’d better take out all the money you have left on you. Don’t wait for me to dig it out myself. When that time comes, it will definitely be ugly.” Liu Fang threatened.
“There’s no more money. I only have some money left to pay for my tuition. I’m just envious that my sister can go to school, but I can’t. All I wanted was to be like them and go to school. I really don’t have any other private money.”
Yun Lian could only defend herself. After all, money was too important to her. She definitely could not give all the remaining money to Liu Fang.
“Wench,do you think I will listen to your words again? You wouldn’t pay the tuition fees if you don’t have any money left in your hands. Are you expecting me to pay for your other tuition fees, books, and materials?”
Liu Fang’s words implied that all Yun Lian had to do was work for their family and that Yun Lian herself would never be wrong.
“We’ll talk about whether you have hidden money or not later. Follow me to the village chief’s house now to get the tuition fees back.” Liu Fang thought that this money could be used on Yun Lang.She felt uncomfortable that the money was used for Yun Lian’s tuition fees.
If she could be a little more capable and get a place to study from Yun Shan’s family, why would she have to waste her own family’s money? Now that Yun Lian couldn’t continue her studies, it was entirely her own fault for being so useless. It had nothing to do with Liu Fang.

“Mother, I...”
Yun Lian originally wanted to plead for her mother to let her off just once. However, Liu Fang was not her biological mother after all. Yun Lian still could not bring herself to say these words. Moreover, she was afraid that Liu Fang would immediately be raging and give her a good beating once again.
“Go quickly.”
Liu Fang glared at Yun Lian.
“You can still walk to the village chief’s house with me safe and sound now. Don’t wait for me to get angry later. I might have to carry you there.”
Yun Lian no longer argued. She could only turn around and walk out of the courtyard. She had a resigned expression on her face, but she was still calculating in her heart. Could there still be a chance to turn things around?
They were not too far from the village chief’s house. It was in fact only a few minutes walk. At this moment, the village chief was cleaning up the fallen leaves left by the rain last night. When he looked up, he saw the mother and daughter of the Yun Gang’s family walking toward him.
“Mrs. Yun, to what do I owe the pleasure of you coming here today?” The village chief immediately called out to Liu Fang. This was because he knew that even though Yun Gang had fallen off his horse, a lean camel would still be bigger than a horse.
“Our child paid the tuition fees at your place a few days ago, right? Right now, our family is in need of the money urgently. I want a refund. Can you do me this favor?”
Liu Fang was worried about the money, so she did not bother to waste any words with the village chief. Instead, she went straight to business.
“The tuition fee? About that.” The village chief rubbed his head, looking troubled.
“Since your child has already paid the school fees, then it can’t be refunded. The educational resources in the county are limited, to begin with. I have already submitted the list. The teachers in the county have already prepared books and chairs for your child. This definitely can’t be refunded. Otherwise, I have no way to explain it to the higher-ups.”
Moreover, the village chief himself had his personal reasons for not giving the children a refund. Every time a child went to school, he would be able to withdraw a considerable amount of commission from the tuition fees.
