(1208) Courting allowance

Here in a back water town, I see many interesting dramas. I'll relate one.

Two families live within hailing distance. One on the left side and the other on the right side separated by about six houses. Family has a seventeen year old boy. Family B produced three pretty daughters. The middle girl who is fourteen years old chose our teenage boy hero as her boy friend. Please note that both families fully sanction the relationship.

In fact the girl's mum made plans that the boy's parents fully concur with. When the girl finishes her school certificate, at age 16(she must have skipped a year), both boy and girl friend will go to Taiwan to further their studies. The boy will go to university and the girl will go for make-up and skin care course.

Meanwhile, the boy is spending most of his allowance on her. He even saves up any extra to indulge her on her whims: maybe a facial in a new place that costs $120. If you look at his family background, you may see why it is so. The boy's uncle fell in love with a girl of a different race against the family's wishes. It happened that she was pregnant and they were forced to get married. He had no choice but to change his religion to follow her according to the law of the land. Sad to say the marriage did not last. She divorced him leaving behind two children for the father and grandma to care for. It is hard to believe but the eligible single father remained single.

Whether this relationship works out or not in the end, it does not matter. It is an acceptable girl. She is from the right race, right religion and correct background. AS the guy's dad and grandma are well to do, they don't mind indulging him with a hefty monthly courting allowance.
