Chapter 261: You Pay First

"A sewing machine?" Li Hongjun frowned and asked.

"Yeah, brother, I just want a sewing machine. When big sis got married, our dad even made several trunks for her dowry. But Mom said all the family money went to Hongqi's education, and now there's nothing left for me." As Li Xianghe spoke, tears began to drop.

"Why are you crying? Just tell me what you want, and your second brother will take care of it. How could you be left out?" Qiu Shuping got upset when she saw her daughter pining over this. "Besides, your brother going to college is the priority. Once Hongqi makes something of himself, he can lift you up in no time, and that's better than anything." Her words were also meant for Li Hongjun, implying that even if her younger son was a bit muddled and made some mistakes, eventually he would be a college graduate, a significant person no soldier could hope to match.
