Chapter 6 — The Kindergarten Class Asked Me to Pay 200,000 Yuan in Tuition Fees, But I Couldn't Have a Son

I let her sit in the classroom next door and draw pictures. She doesn't need to hear how adults fight for her position. The meeting begins. The head of the parent committee spoke first.

"Nim Niem's mother, everyone is for the benefit of her children. Of course Niem Niem is excellent, but the recent family situation is quite complicated, we are worried that it will affect the quality of the performance."

“Who said she was affected?”

The other looked towards her mother-in-law. The mother-in-law immediately continued:

"I'm his grandmother, can I still harm my grandchild?"

"His mother has been at home lately breaking things, recording, checking accounts."

“She was so scared that she cried every night.”

I turned to look at the homeroom teacher.

“How is Niem Niem's situation at school recently?”

The teacher replied in a low voice:

"Very good. Training is also stable."

“So why change her?”

The head of the parent committee coughed lightly.

“Although little Tinh Tinh hasn't officially transferred schools yet, she is very talented in performing.”

“Furthermore, the theme of this program is 'A Complete Family'.”

"Little Tinh Tinh's situation is quite special. Giving her a chance also shows the school's humane spirit."

A complete family. I looked towards Chu Du Xuyen. He bowed his head. Don't dare look at me. Tham Man's eyes turned red again.

“Sister Nam Kieu, I really don't want to steal Niem Niem's opportunity.”

“Tinh Tinh just wants to stand on stage and call her parents once.”

She squatted down in front of Chu Tinh Than. Gently wipe the boy's tears.

“Tinh Tinh, don't be afraid.”

Her voice is not loud. But just enough for half the meeting room to hear.

“Dad will give you a home.”

Tham Man paused.

“Tinh Tinh stood on the stage calling her parents.”

“So who will we call?”

The entire meeting room immediately fell silent. The mother-in-law quickly spoke up:

"Children are still young. Whoever treats them well will call that person."

I nodded.

“What about Niem Niem?”

No one answered. I put the file bag on the table.

“If everyone says it's because of the children.”

“So let's look at this document first.”

The projector lights up. A photo of Khai Minh Tinh Center's family sports festival appeared on the screen. On Tham Man's chest, it was clearly written: MOTHER - CO NAM KIEU. On Chu Du Xuyen's chest, it was written: FATHER - CHU DU XUYEN. A few deep breaths were immediately heard in the meeting room. I opened the second photo. Family development agreement. Mother: Late Nam Kieu. Father: Chu Du Xuyen. Child: Chu Tinh Than. Third plate. Admission score assessment form. Intended address for household registration: Apartment 1201, building 8, Van Giang Nhat Hao area. Fourth plate. Written explanation from Khai Minh Tinh Center. Applicant. Online validator. Substitute signer during the activity. All are clearly recorded. I pushed the mouse aside. The words on the screen stopped there. No one opened their mouth first. The smile on the head of the parent committee's face completely disappeared. The principal turned to look at Chu Du Xuyen.

“Mr. Chu, what is this?”

He finally raised his head.

“This is my family's private matter.”

"Not."

I calmly interrupted. Then put the power of attorney, which they call "power of attorney," on the projector.

“The date of this authorization is May 26.”

“That night, Chu Du Xuyen didn't come home until eleven o'clock at night.”

I opened the photo album in the phone phone. A photo of Niem Niem's birthday cake appeared on the screen. The candle is half burned. There's still an empty seat next to it.

“That night, from five o'clock in the afternoon until eleven o'clock at night, Niem Niem and I were always at home waiting for him."

“Indoor cameras can prove it.”

“I have never met Tham Man.”

“I have never signed this paper.”

I enlarged the power of attorney.

“There's one more thing.”

“When signing 'Kieu', my last stroke is always pressed down.”

“But the signature on this sheet is not.”

Lam Nhien opened a contract to buy an old house. Give it to the principal. On it is my handwritten signature from ten years ago. The two words "Kieu" appear in parallel on the screen. A very heavy word. A word so light that it doesn't dare touch the paper. I opened the recording. The mother-in-law's voice rang out from the speaker.

"Nien Niem is a girl, what's the point of studying well? Tinh Tinh is a boy, she can't lose right from the starting line!"

The entire meeting room was completely silent. A parent whose daughter was in the class immediately changed expression. The mother-in-law rushed forward to turn off the projector.
