Basically discussing how the Hasegawa family are able to afford going to St. Chronica's.
My opinion: Living standards itself seems pretty "cheap" given the relatively rural location (as in avoiding the big cities and suburbs). Most likely St. Chronica's gave the Hasegawa family lower-than-normal tuition fees because of the mission of the school itself. If we suppose that the father isn't poor (as in there are assets which gives enough for a stable living), then I don't see too much a problem with living expenses.
