“ Mrs. Morais went to get me some medicine , Joana replied , then looked back . _ _ “
Did you come alone ? ”
“ Yes . Vitória is tidying up the house . Bianca and her father went to buy some everyday things for whe
n she goes to school . _ _ _ _ _ _ _ ”
“ Did they go shopping for everyday essentials for school ? _ _ ” Joana looked surprised .
“ Carlos wants to send Bianca to boarding school . ”
“ A boarding school ? ” Joana sat up abruptly . _
I
was surprised . This did not concern Joana , so why did she have such a strong reaction ? _ Seeing m
e looking at him , Joanal smiled , trying to hide his reaction to her . _ “ I just feel like Bianca is still so yo
ung .How willing is he to send her out ? _ _ ”
Although I felt that her reaction was a bit over the top , I had other things on my
mind . I didn’t think about it too
much and explained gently : “ Carlos says that many parents are sending their children to boarding sch
ools to make it . independentand avoid spoiling them . _ I thought what he said made sense . ”
“ He ‘s not wrong , but I still think Bianca is too young . If it were me , she would definitely be
reluctant . ” When Joana finished speaking , Mrs. _ _ _ Morais pushed
open the door and came in with Joana ‘s medicine . Her face was strangewhen she saw me . The fact t
hat she stole Joan ‘s necklace was not a glorious thing , so it was no wonder that she felt ashamed . _
_ I nonchalantly gave her a smile . _ “ Mom , you came back with the medicine ” .
Mrs. _ _ Morais nodded . _ _ _ “ What were you talking about ? _ ”
“ We
were talking about Bianca . Linda says that Carlos wants to send her to boarding school ” , Joana imme
diately told Mrs. _ _ Morais this news .
“ Send Bianca to boarding school ? _ Why ? _ ” Mrs. _ _ Morais asked with a surprised look .
“ Carlos says this will train Bianca to be independent , ” I repeated what I told Joana to Dona Morais . _
_
“ Training your independence ? Bianca is still so young . ” Mrs. _ _ Morais was unhappy about this . Sh
e might not like me , but she always treated Bianca well . “ I
will call Carlos immediately and ask him to change his mind “ .
“Mãe, o Carlos já pagou a mensalidade da escola. São centenas de milhares. Se você quiser que a Bi
anca desista agora, eles podem não nos devolver o dinheiro“, eu disse, de propósito.
“ Hundreds of thousands ? This is a steal ! ” Mrs. _ _ Morais was shocked to learn the amount .
“ The school teaches foreign languages , in
addition to cultivating various hobbies and interests . Parents of children studying there don’t have to w
orry about their children not getting into a good university , so clearly it would be expensive . ”
“Qual é o sentido de gastar tanto dinheiro com uma garota?” murmurou a Sra. Morais.
“Carlos estudou no interior desde menino e também conseguiu entrar em uma boa universidade. Essa
é outra ideia sua?”
“ That was something that Carlos himself decided . _ What does this have to do with me ? ”
“ Stop denying it . Carlos grew up in the countryside and
has always been thrifty . How could he be willing to spend so much money ? I do n’t want to
complain , Linda , but it’s not easy for Carlos and us to create our lives . you ca n’t be soobstinate . ”
“ Mom , what are you trying to say ? What do you mean I ‘m being obstinate ? _ Carlos was the one
who decided to send Bianca to boarding school . He was also the one
who found the school . As for what you said about being difficult forCarlos earn money , I
agree . But is he making money for me ? ” I scoffed and asked .
“ If not for you , then who else ? _ With the amount this family has to spend , could it last without Carlos
? _ _ ” Mrs. _ _ Morais asked me with a straight and shameless face . _ Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
