Chapter 5 — The Kindergarten Class Asked Me to Pay 200,000 Yuan in Tuition Fees, But I Couldn't Have a Son

The manager frowned.

“Miss Co, this matter may require the legal department…”

“Okay.”

“Then I will also bring a lawyer.”

Now she finally understood. I didn't come to argue. I came to get the papers. Before five o'clock in the afternoon. Khai Minh Tinh gave me the first explanation. There are only three pages. But that's enough. Applicant: Ton Ngoc Phan. Online endorser: Zhou Yuchuan. Signatory for the activity: Tham Man. Reviewing staff: Khai Minh Tinh Center receptionist. Linked kindergarten upload time: May 26. May 26. Is Niem Niem's birthday. That day, Chu Du Xuyen said he had to work overtime unexpectedly. I didn't get home until eleven o'clock at night. The candles on the birthday cake were half burned. Niem Niem put her head down and fell asleep on the dining table. When I carried the baby back to the room. In her hand, she still clutched the first piece of cake reserved for her father. But that night. He was busy downloading admission documents for another child. I put the explanation in my file bag. Then go to Niem Niem's kindergarten. The teacher is arranging performances for International Children's Day. Niem Niem wears an unfinished performance dress. Spin each round in the gym. Small blood stain on the hem of the dress. This morning I washed it. Now there's only a very pale pink streak left. See me. The teacher's face looked a bit awkward.

“Nien Niem's mother came at the right time.”

“Maybe we need to discuss the matter of leading dancers.”

I stopped walking. The teacher pulled me aside.

“The parents' association believes that Niem Niem's mood has been unstable recently.”

"Mrs. Ton also said something happened at home these past few days."

“Afraid of going on stage and making mistakes.”

I looked towards the practice room. Niem Niem is still practicing. Every move is precise. Every step is steady. Chu Du Xuyen stole her school spot. The mother-in-law wanted to take the lead dancing position.

“Change to whom?”

The teacher did not answer. I said for her:

“Chu Tinh Than?”

The teacher's expression immediately changed.

“You... you already know?”

I smiled softly. It turned out it was the boy. One kid doesn't even go to this school. I want to replace my daughter as the leader in the International Children's performance. Mother-in-law's hands. Reached much further than I thought. The class's parent group exploded. When I opened it, my mother-in-law was sending a voice message.

"Lately, Niem Niem's mother's mood has been unstable, and it certainly affects her. The International Children's performance is a big event for the whole school, and mistakes cannot be made because of her alone."

Another parent immediately responded:

"So it's okay to exchange it for baby Tinh Tinh? I watched the video Ms. Ton posted, the baby dances quite well."

Someone asked:

“Isn't little Tinh Tinh studying in an early education class outside?”

Mother-in-law replied:

“We're about to move here, we're all children in the same family.”

They are all children in the same family. She said it very smoothly. So convenient that I even wanted to ask. Which house? The homeroom teacher texted me privately.

"Nien Niem's parents, please don't get excited. The school hasn't decided yet, this is just a proposal from the parents' committee."

I replied:

“Let's meet then.”

The teacher asked:

“What meeting?”

“The parents, the school, the performance manager and all the parents involved substitution.”

It wasn't long before she texted back.

“Is tonight at seven o'clock?”

I looked at the clock. Five forty. I called Lam Nhien, my lawyer friend. After listening to the story, she cursed once.

“Your husband and your mother-in-law really know how to save money. One identity that can be used in two places.”

“Are you free tonight?”

“I need you to help me look at the documents. No need to speak for me.”

“Understood.”

She was silent for a while.

“Nam Kieu, can you stand it?”

I looked into the dance studio. Niem Niem is still spinning to the music. On the third round, she raised her head to see me. Then he smiled brightly. I also smiled.

“If you can't stand it, you have to endure it.”

Seven o'clock in the evening. The kindergarten meeting room was full of people. Principal. Homeroom teacher. Three parents on the representative board. Chu Du Xuyen. And Chu Tinh Than. Only Niem Niem was not present.
