Xia Zhenyuan and Qiu Zhi did not know why Xia Cha was asking them to collect such things on the mountain, but they had gotten used to listening to Xia Cha's arrangements recently.
In the following days, Xia Zhenyuan took care of the fruit trees on the mountain and went to collect mountain goods when he had time.
Qiu Zhi fed the poultry at home and made many pickles.
It was time for the three sisters to start school. Once they paid the tuition fees, there was not much money left at home.
Xia Cha had originally agreed with the Sixth Master on the JP stage that she would not sing after school started.
However, her family needed money urgently now, so Xia Cha discussed with the Sixth Master and decided on singing three songs on the weekend.
When Xia Zhenyuan and Qiu Zhi learned of Xia Cha's decision, they did not agree to her going to sing again. Afraid that it would affect her studies, Xia Zhenyuan proposed to work at the coal mine again.
