Alana said, "I disagree," and instantly, the group fell silent.
Some people were secretly annoyed, while others were secretly delighted.
Pablo's mom took a look and it was Susie's parent again.
I really hate it! I can't stand these parents who are so stingy even over a few tens of dollars.
She restrained herself and politely asked in the group:
Susie's Grandma, do you find anything unreasonable? Everyone agreed to buy the electric car, and Eleanor really worked very hard...
Blair's Mom: "Does Grandma think 50 dollars is expensive? Actually, it's not expensive, just the cost of one day's groceries."
Joseph's mother: "You weren't even willing to give 50 dollars?"
Alana sneered and mocked with a burst of laughter.
Why do we have to buy an electric car? Why do we have to give such a cheap electric car? It greatly affects the teacher's commute in the sun and rain. I suggest just giving a sedan directly.
Pablo's Mom across the phone: "..."
Susie's Grandma: "I suggest we just buy a car, it's not expensive, only a little over a hundred thousand, and if each family chips in three thousand, it would be enough."
There was a moment of silence in the group...
Susie's Grandma: "Why is everyone so quiet? Do you think this suggestion is not good? Well, I guess it's true. It's too ostentatious to just give a car and drive around every day."
Pablo's parents quickly typed: Yes, yes, too showy... (deleted) Haha, Grandma really knows how to joke... (deleted) Uh, Grandma is really humorous...
Unfortunately, she didn't type as fast as Alana, and she deleted her messages several times due to concerns about her tone of speech. During this interval, Alana sent a message in the group.
Susie's Grandma: "Buying a car is too flashy. I suggest buying a house near the school directly. In our neighborhood, it's only a five-minute walk to the school! It's not expensive either. A regular house of around 100 square meters is only about 400,000 dollars... Each family can contribute 10,000 dollars, which should definitely be enough. I will cover the remaining amount if it's not enough!"
Susie's Grandma: What do you all think?
Susie's Grandma: "Why aren't you saying anything?"
Susie's Grandma: "Why, isn't it all for the children? Did I say something wrong?"
Susie's Grandma: "It's just ten thousand dollars. Nowadays, which family can't earn tens of thousands of dollars in a year? It's all for the children! Don't be stingy, everyone!"
Susie's Grandma: "Those who agree to buy a house for Eleanor, please deduct 1."
Susie's Grandma: "1"
Pablo's Mom: ...
Joseph's mother: ...
Connor's Dad: ...
Wilma's mother: ...
The group was as silent as death.
Only Alana's six messages were left, and she even deleted one herself.
It was simply ironic and embarrassing...
Pablo and Blair's parents suddenly felt slapped in the face one by one.
It's really disrespectful. Even if you disagree, there's no need to be sarcastic like this, right?
Slapping someone in the face on the spot, what grudge or resentment? Such a person doesn't know how to behave.
Everyone was a parent in the same class, and after the atmosphere became so tense, should we still continue to get along?
I didn't expect Alana to keep going on and on.
Susie's Grandma: "Oh, how about an arranged marriage? I see that Eleanor, the teacher, is still unmarried. Dating is such a waste of time for such an important matter as marriage! What if she encounters a bad guy and it affects her studies?"
Susie's Grandma: "How about I introduce my son to her? I have eight sons. The eldest son is too old and already married, so he's not an option. The second son is divorced and has two kids, so he's also not suitable. Apart from these two, you can choose any of the others."
Susie's Grandma: "My third son was a pilot, earning a million dollars a year. He was 188 cm tall, weighed 130 kg, and was incredibly handsome."
Susie's Grandma: "My fourth son used to be an actor, a national film emperor. He was 189 cm tall, weighed 120 kg, and earned millions of dollars a year. He had a wicked charm and was both rebellious and handsome."
Susie's Grandma: "My fifth son is the chief engineer at a construction site, earning a million dollars a year. Although he has gotten a bit tanned from the wind and sun, he has a unique charm. He is 188 cm tall, weighs 140 kg, and has a sturdy build, giving a sense of security!"
Susie's Grandma: "My sixth son was a national high-tech expert, the youngest professor in the research institute, and he was the perfect match with his colleagues! He was a bit short, only 185 cm tall, and weighed 120 kg. Although he looked thin, he earned billions of dollars a year and was cheerful and enthusiastic."
Susie's Grandma: "Let's not mention the seventh son, his job is quite unique, he only comes back a few times a year, can't blame him, right?"
Susie's Grandma: "My eighth son is amazing. He is a doctor and the youngest chief expert in the country. He works in a public hospital, and although his salary is not high, the advantage lies in the stability of his job. It's a secure job! Don't worry, if you two really get married, I will dig into my pocket and subsidize two billion."
Susie's Grandma: "Oh, by the way, after getting married, I suggested that we all chip in and hire a nanny for Eleanor, and also pay for her meals and laundry. After all, teachers are so busy, and cooking and doing laundry take up so much time. By saving time, she can focus on correcting our children's homework. What do you all think? It's all for the sake of our children!"
The group continued to remain silent, as if dead...
On the other end of the phone, Pablo's Mom was infuriated, the irony was so obvious, will it ever end?
He had eight sons, and he claimed to be a pilot, an actor, and a chief engineer. This old man really knew how to brag!
The phone vibrated again.
Susie's Grandma: "Agreed to buy a car for the teacher (knock 1), agreed to buy a house for the teacher (knock 2), agreed to arrange a marriage for the teacher (knock 3)."
Susie's Grandma: "123"
Parents: "..."
