I wanted to fiercely blame him, but as I opened my mouth, tears uncontrollably spilled out.
"Baby, I know I've been a bit off, and you've been wronged. It's because... sigh, Sister Emma shouldn't have to suffer like this."
"When I got into college, my dad passed away. My family went into debt to pay for his treatment, and finding money for my tuition was already difficult."
"I considered giving up on college, thinking it might be better to start working early to earn some money."
"But in the end, it was Emma and her husband who covered my tuition and encouraged me to continue my studies."
"I later learned that Sister Ping married that abusive man for a dowry of thirty thousand dollars, which came from my tuition."
"She sacrificed her entire life for the good life we have now."
"That's why I want to do something for her; maybe teaching her child could help repay my debt to her."
Jeremy slowly recounted the past, his eyes reddening.
I sighed.
"Honey, Emma indeed has it tough, and I don't oppose your gratitude; perhaps we can offer her some financial assistance."
"But right now, my life with Nina is being significantly affected."
"Don't worry, I've thought of a solution."
"It's more suitable to send James to kindergarten. If he could attend the same kindergarten as Nina, that would be perfect; Emma could then pick up both kids together."
Nina's kindergarten was a provincial model, with top-notch facilities and teachers, and parents across the city competed to get in.
But without a house in the district, there was no way to squeeze in.
He spoke as if it were easy.
"Babe... the unit in your name next door is still vacant; how about letting James use it? This way, we can solve our family's problem, and everything can return to normal."
I sat up straight, staring intensely at Jeremy.
"What do you mean? You want me to transfer the house to her and her son?"
