“ 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 when 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 me looking at him , Joanal smiled , trying to hide his reaction to her . _ “ I just feel like Bianca is still so young .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 schools 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 that 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 immediately 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 . She might not like me , but she always treated Bianca well . “ I will call Carlos immediately and ask him to change his mind “ .
“ 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 worry about their children not getting into a good university , so clearly it would be expensive . ”
“ That was something that Carlos himself decided . _ What does this have to do with me ? ”
