Chapter 68

The money Fiona earned from working was not used on herself at all, but was used at home.

Fiona is also a relatively stubborn person. She doesn't like asking for help, and she doesn't want to show off her fragility at home.

Fiona's salary this week was not taken out, and she would only get a salary next week. The family had no money to buy essential supplies. Fiona had no money, but Lip and the others had money. Fiona didn't want to ask the children for help, but instead searched for change coins everywhere at home.

To be honest, Frank felt very distressed when he saw Fiona like this.

Fiona is only twenty-one years old this year. Other girls of this age are probably worried about exams, handsome guys, star chasing, famous brands, traveling, etc., but Fiona is worried about food, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea like an old mother.

"Thank you, dad." Fiona looked at the money in her hand, and did not refuse, thanked Frank.

"Thank you, you are my baby daughter." Frank took out a cigarette and handed it to Fiona.

"Have you ever thought about the future?" Frank asked lit the cigarette.

"From the future?" Fiona's eyes were a little confused. She had tried her best to survive and to support this family every day, and she had never thought about anything in the future.

"You are also a child, just like Lip, Ian, Debbie, Carl, and Liam, you should have your own life, and you should think about yourself."

"Are you planning to raise all your children and think about your life? Liam is only two years old and it will take sixteen years to become an adult. By then, you will be almost forty..." Frank said.

"..." Fiona took a deep breath of cigarettes and spit out white mist.

"You have done enough for this family. You should think about your own life and your future. I couldn't help anything before, but I will still be in this family in the future." Frank said with heartache.

"Gisella told me that she would teach me what software to use free of charge every Saturday. If she learned it, she could go to the office and her starting salary was twenty yuan per hour." Fiona was silent for a while and said.

"Then go and study, don't worry about your family, don't worry about money, and I'm also my dad." Frank immediately encouraged.

Fiona has been working all the time, working daily or hourly jobs, but she dropped out of high school, had no diploma or skill, had done all kinds of work, went through sewers, worked as a waiter, handed out flyers, etc., but she was all physical work, earning at most a dozen yuan per hour, and earning twenty yuan an hourly rate, which can be said to be absolutely high-tech.

Moreover, learning to use computer software is also a technology.

Although, for many people, those computer software are like basic common sense that they operate before, after, left and right, and do not need to learn it at all, and you will be able to do it for a few tricks.

But for people like Fiona who drop out of high school and come to work, it is really a technology. There are many people in this world who type in one finger Zen, and they can’t even copy and modify the format and other operations.

"Have you ever thought about going back to school?" Frank asked.

"Go to school, go back to high school?" Fiona was stunned.

If you drop out of high school in the United States, you can continue to study. If you make up for the lack of credits, you can also get a high school diploma. However, Fiona had already dropped out of school and went to work and never thought about going back to study.

Moreover, Fiona has been working for so many years and has long returned the knowledge she has learned to her teacher, and even forgot what the subjects in her high school time are.

But Frank really wanted Fiona to go back to school. Not to mention let Fiona return to school, he said that for Fiona's future, Fiona also wanted to go back to school.

Although it is just a graduation diploma from a ragged public high school, there is still a big difference between having a high school diploma and not having a high school diploma.

Without a high school diploma, in the eyes of many people, it is similar to the "illiterate" who cannot read big words, and is completely a "waste person" in society.

But if you have a high school diploma, even a public high school diploma can prove that you have been to school and are not a "waste person". If you are lucky, you may find a formal job with five insurances and one fund.

It can be said that high school diplomas are the lowest threshold. Those who say diplomas are not important are just silly...

"I can't go back to school, I still need work..." Fiona shook her head and refused without thinking.

"You can do work anytime, you can study in your spare time. Let's do it, tomorrow, I will accompany you to school..." Frank decided not to refute it.

He has cancer, and the god of death will not know when it will come. He must leave no regrets as much as possible before he dies and do something for the children.

"Stop talking about me, how are you and Lipu today?" Fiona said.

"Fortunately, the professor is very fond of Lip. Lip's exam is fine. If he doesn't know how to do this business in the future, he will not be able to do it." Frank said.

Frank did not say anything about Professor Hurst's suggestion that Lipp would go directly to the University of Chicago to attend school next semester.

The children come home from school and end the conversation between father and daughter.

"Hey! Gallaghers, come and meet my daughter! Ethel!" Kevin and Veronica took a girl into the house while the children in the family were in a mess, and Kevin said excitedly.

"What? Your daughter?" Everyone was attracted by Kevin's attention.

Frank looked at the girl behind Kevin with a confused look on his face. He was a very cute daughter, wearing a simple long dress, her hair was folded up, and she looked a little cramped when she stood there, but she looked at least thirteen or four years old, older than Debbie.

However, it seems that Kevin and Veronica have just gotten married, and, as if they were just fake marriages, why did such a big daughter suddenly appear?

"It's an adopted daughter!" Veronina, who was holding a pot, rolled her eyes and said, and walked into the kitchen. The pot contained sauce.

Everyone quickly figured out what was going on. Ethel was adopted by Kevin and Veronica, but he would only temporarily stay in their house for one week.

They temporarily provide shelter for Ethel, and when the Family and Children's Services find a family suitable for adoption of Ethel, they will pick Ethel away.

It was not because of love that Kevin and Veronica let Essel live in their home, but for money, the government will give subsidies according to the number of days.

"Ethel is very pitiful. She and seventy other children were rescued from a cult. Moreover, she can't even play table games, Monopoly, Ba chess games, etc., and she doesn't go to the park. The first thing she does when she gets home is to do housework, and she also says that the Bible says that housework keeps the soul pure."
