Chapter 67 Tuition Fees
If Lipp relies on scholarships, he would be exempted from tuition, but Frank was planning the worst.
Frank did not forget, Professor Hurst said that there are an average of 300 students who can get full marks in the country with more than one million candidates nationwide.
Lip is indeed a genius, but compared with the country, it is only one-three percent.
In the ragged public high school, Lip is a super genius. If it were placed in a world-renowned school, Lip would probably not be so genius in an environment where it was all the "genius" in the eyes of others.
Frank had to find a way to collect Lip's college tuition, one and a half years before Lip graduated from high school.
But when Frank thought of the tuition fee of tens of thousands, he couldn't help but have a headache.
In order to raise the money to repay the credit card, Frank cooperated with the gang and risked losing his head and jailing, smuggling, fraudulent insurance, drug transportation, etc., and only earned a few thousand yuan, enough to repay the credit card.
After paying back the credit card money and canceling it, Frank "washed his hands" and wanted to "get out of the world again"?
But the tuition fee of tens of thousands is not like a few thousand yuan. When will Frank have to work to save enough tuition? Moreover, if you often walk by the river, there is no one who doesn’t have to wet your shoes.
"In the words of Eddie's legacy..." This thought suddenly popped up in Frank's mind.
Eddie's legacy has hundreds of thousands, and if Frankie encroached on it, it would be enough for Lip's tuition.
"What am I thinking!" Frank immediately shook his head and threw the idea out of his head.
Eddie's legacy belongs to the Sheila family, which is the guarantee of the Sheila family's future life, and it is the money left to Karen to go to college in the future.
After returning to the South District, Frank and Karen went shopping, and Frank went home alone and worriedly.
"What are you doing?" When Frank returned home, he saw Fiona turning the house upside down, lifting the sofa cushions, picking up coins in the cracks inside.
"I didn't pay my salary for working last week. They paid the attendance card. I will not get the money from last week next Friday..." Fiona said while flipping through the money everywhere.
There are many necessities in the family. If you don’t have a salary, you won’t be able to last next week. So Fiona searches everywhere for the lost money to get money, not letting go of one cent or two cents.
"Stop looking for it. Dad has money here, let's go to the supermarket to purchase." Frank grabbed Fiona and went to the supermarket.
Frank still has no shortage of dozens of dollars in daily expenses.
Unlike the past, "Frank" who spent all day in bars and took drugs everywhere, relying on disability funds and false pensions from Jin Ji, there was a lot of money every month.
In particular, after Frank paid back his credit card money, he still had some money left. In addition to the money earned from the translation order, Frank still had some savings.
Of course, that little savings, compared with Lip's tuition fee of more than 100,000 yuan, is not even a drop in the bucket.
For Frank, Lip's tuition fees are as desperate as housing prices in first-tier cities in China.
"Dad, you have changed a lot recently..." The two of them came home with plastic bags, and Fiona suddenly sighed.
Everyone sees Frank’s recent changes. If the former ‘Frank’ didn’t care whether the family was short of money or not, they would only worry about not having money to drink.
"You will only spend it next Friday, so you can take this money first." Frank took out a few hundred dollars from his pocket and handed it to Fiona.
"No, these things are enough to survive this week. Moreover, I can go to the ice hockey bar to be a waiter on the weekend. I can make some money and have a lot of tips..." Fiona looked at the money in Frank's hand, hesitated for a moment, and did not pick it up.
Fiona is a very proud person and will not take money from others casually. Steve took the initiative to give her money, but she never took it.
The situation at Frank's family is quite complicated and is very different from that of ordinary families.
In the past, "Frank" didn't care about the family at all, so there was no parent who had absolutely authoritative authority like his parents. Only Fiona, this elder sister, was both a father and a mother.
But Fiona is just an elder sister after all, not a real parent, so every child is a very independent ‘individual’ and supports this family together in a cooperative model.
Among them, it includes the "property control" of each child, and every child is absolutely free of wealth.
It will not be like other families, such as when visiting and receiving red envelopes from relatives, and after returning home, the red envelopes will be taken away by their parents, and they are called "the best place to keep them on their behalf."
At Frank's house, if the children receive red envelopes, they are their own. No one will ask more about how to spend the money in the red envelopes, as they decide it themselves.
Each of the children has their own independent vault, and there is also a public vault at home. For example, the monthly electricity bills, etc., are all paid together.
Not only this kind of financial freedom, but also includes other aspects, such as thinking, choice, etc., children's ideology is very independent.
The same goes for Frank. Frank gave Fiona money. If it were other families, it would be like the pocket money given to his daughter by the father. He would not have too many ideas. The daughter would take it away directly, and might even complain that she was too stingy and would give such a little money.
But this is different in Frank's family. Frank's behavior of giving Fiona money is not the father giving to his daughter, but the same thing is the one person giving to another.
So, Fiona's first reaction was to refuse.
"Hold it, I know the ice hockey bar, the bar of the savage bar, the waiter's clothes are no different from wearing underwear, and inserting a steel pipe can make **** dance the pole dance. I don't want my baby daughter, those stinky bastards." Frank stuffed the money into Fiona's hands.
"Don't forget, I'm your dad. Sometimes, you don't have to force everything and can ask for help from others. Even if it's not me, Lip and Ian will help you..." Frank continued.
Although everyone in the family is independent, but not the previous "Frank", Fiona is the only adult in the family and the only adult with work ability. Others, including Lip, are still in school and not adult children.
So, Fiona always takes big money for the family, such as daily necessities at home, as well as fire, electricity bills and taxes, etc. Fiona takes seventy percent of the money, and the remaining money is Lipp and Ian, and then Debbie and Carl take some fractions.
