Chapter 30: Mandy who takes the initiative
"Uh......" Frank thinks his plan is seamless, and Lip criticizes him for being incomplete.
"Besides, the head of the house is Fiona now, so I think she should know the truth!" Lip said.
"OK!OK!Fine!You're the boss, you're in charge!" Frank dared to walk into the house with his head down, daring to let Mr. Perrin, who had been so hard to get his way over.
"What the hell is going on with Aunt Gingy?" asked Fiona as soon as she saw him.
"She's dead!" Frank said.
"What? when did this happen?" Fiona was shocked.
"Probably...... Probably...... Twelve years ago?" Frank sneered.
"Frank, you've been cheating her on social security payments all these years, you know how heavy the charge is! You've been saying that the house is yours, did you get her will?" Fiona said.
"Uh...... You can also understand it from another angle, if Aunt Gingy is not dead in the legal sense, then I will not be a cheat if I receive her insurance money, we live here, and we don't need her will!" Frank said.
"Okay, but you have to find a way to get this thing done first!" Fiona was about to go crazy with Frank!
If this matter is not satisfactorily resolved, Frank's arrest for social security fraud is still a trivial matter, and the Gallagher siblings will be forcibly evicted from Gallagher's home and become homeless!
The young Debbie, Carl, and Liam will also be taken over by the child welfare agency and sent to foster care.
"Wow! I've thought of a way, but you've just vetoed it!" Frank looked like a scoundrel.
His interests are now tied up with the Gallagher siblings, and even if he doesn't help, Fiona and the others will have to figure out a solution to this crisis, so he is not in a hurry.
Seeing Fiona's helpless appearance, Lip interjected, "We can temporarily lend a suitable person from the welfare nursing home where Veronica works to pretend to be Aunt Jinji!"
"Yes, yes, yes, this is a good solution!" Fiona clapped her hands, "I'll contact Vi now!"
After contacting Veronica on the phone, Fiona and Frank go to the nursing home to choose the right candidate, and Debbie arguing to go with her, so Fiona takes him.
Liam left to Lipp to look after.
Carl now goes out every day to find a way to get an iPhone 4 charger, ten yuan a piece, at least twenty a month, that is, two hundred dollars, with this extra pocket money, Carl is not too comfortable now.
Liam, who is almost two years old, no longer needs to be taken care of, he only needs to be given a toy, and he can play by himself for half a day without crying or making trouble.
Lip put him at his feet and continued to look at the college textbooks he had bought.
I was dizzy when I heard the footsteps of people.
Lip put down his book, stood up, and moved his body as he walked out to see if Fiona and the others had returned, only to see Ian and Mandy talking and laughing upstairs.
Lip said, "You two reconciled?"
Ian laughed and replied, "Yes! you don't have to worry about being beaten up by Mickey anymore!"
Mandy took Ian's arm, rested her head on his shoulder, and said with a smile, "Ian is my boyfriend now, and secretly we are good sisters!"
"Haha!" said Lip with a smile, "if you're happy!"
Ian probed into Lip's room, greeted Liam, and said, "Where have the others gone?"
"Fiona and Debbie, and Frank, are going to pick up Aunt Gingey together, and Carl is out on his own, and I'm here to look after Liam, and read a book by the way. Lip replied.
"You're so loving and hardworking!" Mandy exclaimed.
"That's what I am!" Lip shrugged his shoulders.
Lip went downstairs to the kitchen, opened the fridge and took out a bottle of beer, opened the cap and took a sip, carried the bottle upstairs, and went back to the room to continue reading.
Despite inheriting Lip's brilliant mind, it is still a very difficult thing for Lip to gnaw on university textbooks without guidance.
Lip is now completely stubborn, not trying to understand much, just trying to get a general impression, not to be too far behind by his future classmates at the University of Chicago.
As he was grimacing his thoughts on the jargon of technical terms, the door creaked open, and Lip turned his head to see that it was Mandy.
Mandy met his eyes, smiled, sat down on the bed next to him, struck a seductive pose, bit her lip and asked, "What are you reading?"
Lip closed the book in his hand and hung the cover to her.
"Economics?Samuelson??, who is that?" Mandy looked confused.
"Samuelson, an alumnus of the University of Chicago, a Nobel laureate in economics, and one of the greatest economists of the twentieth century, is his classic book and one of the required courses for economics majors at the university!" Lip replied.
"Wow! You're reading college textbooks right now? Are you going to college?" Mandy looked amazed, and her posture subconsciously retracted.
"Yes," Lip said, "but you also know the situation of our family, and the situation of the school, and college is not something I can go to if I want to!"
"You must be fine!" Mandy has more confidence in Lip than himself, "You are so good, you have never got a B in the exam, all A, A+, if even you can't go to college, then no one can go to college in our broken school!"
"Thank you!" Lip said with a smile.
"No thanks......! There's still a little over a year to graduate from high school, and now are you applying to college?" Mandy asked.
"Yes, but my credits have almost taken a break, and I can apply for early graduation, as for the university, I haven't started applying yet, but I can also prepare in advance, in case I don't apply to a satisfactory university this year, I can try again next year." Lip said.
"Need help, I can help you fill out the application!" Mandy volunteered.
"Really, you're so nice!" said Lip.
"No, I just...... I don't have the opportunity to go to college anyway, I don't even have the qualifications to apply for college, and I can help you do some application work, which can be regarded as closer to the university! I can only help you do such a small thing, and I can't help you more. Mandy said to herself.
"No, Mandy, you're a good girl! If you want to go to college, I can tutor you, you're only in 10th grade now, and you still have time!" Lip said.
