Outsider: The Fifth Young Master of the Kang Family

Chapter 197 Noble School
After the second brother and his wife came back, they scolded Kou Shuiwei severely and drove him out of the Kang family without even letting him have dinner there, so that Kou Shuiwei left while being scolded.

"Second brother, Kou Shuiwei means well. Mother-in-law is old and confused, so what does it have to do with Kou Shuiwei? If you don't even let her eat, who will dare to help you in the future?" Kang Qirui felt that Second Brother's behavior was not fair. No matter what, Kou Shuiwei had done what he was supposed to do.

"That's right, A Zong, how can a person be like this? He steps forward when he needs people, and steps backward when he doesn't need them." The old man also thought that the second brother should at least be polite on the surface and leave some food for the meal.

The second brother didn't listen at all. He finished his meal in a few bites and walked out of the living room to read the newspaper. He was worried about Tianxiu's transfer to another school and had no mood to listen to Kang Qirui and his father's lectures.

"Huh? This is a good idea." The second brother muttered to himself in surprise while reading the newspaper. He walked quickly to the dining room with the newspaper, "Wife, I found a good idea. Hahahahahaha"

"What good idea is there?" the second sister-in-law asked in confusion. How could she come up with an idea just by reading a newspaper?
The second brother sat down in his seat, spread out the newspaper and showed it to his second sister-in-law, "This is a good idea called going to college under a false name, hahahaha"

The second brother was indeed very happy, but the second sister-in-law was speechless, "So you are crazy, the kid is only in elementary school now, when will he go to college? What a good idea you have."

The second brother rolled his eyes, thinking that his second sister-in-law was stupid for three years after pregnancy. He said, "Hey, I'm not asking you to go to college now, listen to me. I'm just making an analogy. Look at this news. It says that a student A has taken a fancy to a key middle school and wants to get in. But A doesn't belong to this area, and another student B who belongs to this area has average grades and is not qualified to enter the key middle school."

"So Mr. A and Mr. B switched names, and finally Mr. A got into the key middle school as he wished. But unfortunately, Mr. A had to study under Mr. B's name for the rest of his life."

The second sister-in-law understood now, but she didn't quite agree, "You don't mean to let my son transfer schools this way, do you?"

As soon as the second brother nodded, the old man started to scold him: "I'm telling you, if you want to change your name, just change your own name to Kang Qizong, don't even think about changing my grandson's name. What school can't you go to? Do you have to abandon your ancestors to go to university?"

"That's right, A Zong. You've changed your name. Even if you get admitted to university, how can you bring honor to the family?" Da Lao Guang also strongly opposed it. The others also looked serious and supported the opinions of Lao Dou and Da Lao Guang.

"I say that you all are conservative. Bringing honor to your family is just a name. As long as you are a descendant of Yan and Huang and have the blood of the Kang family flowing in your body, and you are admitted to a key middle school, what does a name matter? You can still bring honor to your family." The second brother was disdainful, thinking that names and the like were false and only bloodline was real.

It must be said that what he said did make sense. The second sister-in-law was the first to be convinced. She nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, it happens in the drama. Those descendants of Yan and Huang crossed the ocean and even changed their names to English names like X or cat shit. But they can still come back to bring honor to their family."

"That's right, wife, you are right to think so." The second brother agreed.

"Second brother, are you telling the truth or not? This is against the law." Kang Qirui thought he had to stop the second brother and his wife from having this crazy idea. They had already registered their household registration, but now they were thinking of pretending to go to school. He seriously advised, "Do you think you can keep this a secret forever? Even if Tianxiu pretended to be someone else and went to a key middle school, was admitted to a key university, and became a great honor to his family after graduation, would he dare to go home? Ah? Wouldn't he be reported immediately if he went back to the Kang family?"

"Even if no one reports him, can you guarantee that the person you impersonated won't regret it? Aren't you handing Tianxiu's life over to that person? He can keep forcing you to give him benefits, or he can just report you. I'll ask you one thing. What will you do if he says that all this is his fault?"

The second brother was speechless immediately. He really hadn't thought about these questions. He looked at his second sister-in-law and found that she was also confused. He shook his head and sorted out his thoughts. He also thought that this method was indeed as Kang Qirui said. It was equivalent to directly handing his fate over to the other party. If the other party regretted it, he really had no way to refute it. He could only look at Kang Qirui for help, "What should I do?"

Normally, Er Lao was a very thoughtful person, but he was completely confused by his concern. Kang Qirui gave him two suggestions: "There are many ways, it depends on whether you can wait. If you can wait, then find an agent to help you wait for a school district house, and buy it as soon as someone puts it on the market. If you can't wait, then let Tianxiu transfer to a private aristocratic school, their teachers are also very good."

"Is that so? Are aristocratic schools expensive?" asked the second brother.

"More than 2006 yuan per semester." Kang Qirui said a sky-high price. You should know that although elementary school is not completely free, the tuition and miscellaneous fees per semester are only a few hundred yuan. (Note: The complete exemption of tuition and miscellaneous fees for nine-year compulsory education began on September 9, 1.)
The second brother and the second sister-in-law looked at each other, and it was difficult for them to make this decision for a while, so they waved their hands and said they would think about it. Kang Qirui didn't care about him, anyway, as long as they didn't plan to impersonate each other.

Zhu Wanling couldn't help but say, "I think more than 10,000 per semester is too expensive, right? In fact, I don't think there is much difference between primary schools now, right? They are all just laying the foundation. Although school district housing is not easy to buy, there will still be some in the future, and it's not very expensive, so it's more cost-effective."

If the house she owned was not in a school district, she would have planned to transfer it directly to her second brother and his wife. Anyway, she was determined to think that spending more than 10,000 yuan on a primary school student was too much of a loss, as it was half a year's salary for an ordinary person.

The second brother and his wife didn't say anything and said they would think about it again.

But just one night later, the second brother and his wife had made up their minds. Or rather, the second brother persuaded his wife, and he handled the transfer procedures for Tianxiu to a private aristocratic school. The transfer fee plus the tuition and miscellaneous fees cost him 30,000 yuan. In this era, an ordinary person's annual salary could only be exchanged for a student ID card.

"Son, say goodbye to grandpa and grandma, and say goodbye to uncle and aunt." On the day when the second brother and his wife sent Tianxiu to school, only the old lady Dou, Kang Qirui and Zhu Wanling were at home. The others went to work or went out for a walk.

"Son, you are attending an aristocratic school now, you must study hard. You will only come back once a week in the future. Mommy has to take care of your sister, so I won't send you to school today. You must learn to take care of yourself in school." The second sister-in-law looked reluctant and kept muttering earnestly: "After school in the evening, make a pack of Xiasangju to drink. I put everything in your schoolbag. I have already put it away."

"Also, when you go to the toilet at night, you have to use a flashlight to see carefully so as not to fall into the pit of shit, okay?"

The second brother became impatient after listening for a while, "Are you done yet? You're just going to study at the dormitory, not to a life and death challenge. You only come back once a week."

"He is ten years old and has never left me." It would have been better if the second brother didn't say anything. As soon as he said it, the second sister-in-law became aggrieved and hugged Tianxiu and cried.

In addition to the second sister-in-law, the old lady Dou and her husband agreed that they were very reluctant to let Tianxiu go. After several people lingered at the door for a long time, the second brother was finally able to take Tianxiu into the car and go to school.
