Chapter 37 Drop out of school?

Meng Shulan had no idea that Ye Ran had secretly been plotting against her.

She is busy studying every day now, so she has no time to care about these things.

During the evening study session, the math teacher came to sit in the classroom, and Meng Shulan took all the questions she had accumulated to ask the teacher.

Over the past week, in addition to memorizing English, Meng Shulan has been recalling and studying mathematics.

She has read the textbooks for the two academic years and solved all the problems she could find in the books by herself. The questions she is currently asking are about extended topics or questions that require application and thinking.

There were some things she didn't know, and there were some knowledge points that the teacher had taught during her studies, and she had taken notes, but it had been so long that she had almost forgotten some of the problem-solving ideas.

Meng Shulan went up to ask questions, and seeing this, the others also gathered around with pens and notebooks.

Meng Shulan is the study committee member of the class and is among the top ten students in the grade. If she can't solve a problem, then everyone needs to study hard.

But after everyone stood and listened for a while, they realized that the question was not about anything special, but something the teacher had talked about before.

It seemed like this was just talked about not long ago. Maybe she forgot it or she didn't understand it at all at that time.

The crowd of onlookers gradually dispersed.

Zheng Min even laughed at Meng Shulan quietly, "She even asked questions that were already taught. I don't know how she got those rankings in the past."

Meng Shulan pestered the math teacher to explain the questions to her for nearly an hour, and finally figured out a few things that she didn't understand.

However, just figuring it out does not mean you have mastered it. You still need to do more and observe more in practice to be able to fully understand it.

When she came down from the podium, Meng Shulan also noticed several inquiring looks.

She didn't take it seriously. Her level now was indeed not as good as it was in the past, so there was nothing to say.

At night, I read by lamplight as usual.

There was still no oil in Hu Bifang's lamp, so Meng Shulan called her over to study together as she had done before.

Hu Bifang was very grateful, but she was not in a good mood for studying and seemed to have something on her mind.

Meng Shulan also wanted to ask about her situation, but she was too busy. She was in the classroom during the day and everyone was there at night, so she didn't find any chance.

The matter was delayed until Wednesday at noon, when Meng Shulan went to the cafeteria to get her rice bowl and ran into Hu Bifang by chance.

At that time, she was carrying a lunch box and walking towards the dormitory. Her eyes were red, obviously she had been crying.

Meng Shulan caught up, "Hu Bifang."

Hu Bifang turned around and saw that it was Meng Shulan. She quickly wiped her eyes with her sleeve and forced a smile, "Shulan, aren't you going to the classroom?"

Meng Shulan was afraid that she would be embarrassed, so she said, "I left the hot sauce in the dormitory and forgot to take it."

She had not finished eating the dried pickled vegetables that she had left in the classroom, and the chili sauce was indeed still in the dormitory.

The two returned to the dormitory together. Since the exam was only a few days away, the dormitory was quiet and empty.

Meng Shulan took out the hot sauce from her bookcase and scooped a spoonful for Hu Bifang first.

The spicy bean paste fried with vegetable oil smells so delicious.

Seeing that Meng Shulan was about to give her a spoon, Hu Bifang quickly stopped her, "Shulan, no need, you can eat this delicious food yourself, I'll just eat mine."

Hu Bifang also brought hot sauce, but it was not fried with oil. It was scooped directly from the pickle jar.

Meng Shulan said: "This hot sauce is too spicy, I don't like it."

How could it be possible not to like such a delicious thing? Hu Bifang knew that Meng Shulan said this on purpose so as not to add any burden to her mind.

But there is really no need. She is about to leave school and go home to get married. Wouldn't it be a waste to eat such good food? Hu Bifang: "Shulan, don't..." Give it to me.

But she had only said half of her words when she couldn't control her tears and kept falling. She was unable to speak any more.

Meng Shulan saw her crying but did not disturb her, just stayed by her side silently.

After a while, Hu Bifang calmed down. She urged Meng Shulan to eat quickly and told her about her family affairs.

"My dad meant that if I couldn't make the top ten in this exam, I would have no hope of getting into university, and there would be no point in continuing my studies. It would be better for me to go back home and get married early to avoid being criticized by others.

The man's side also has the same idea. My girlfriend's mother has long wanted me to avoid having sex with her. She's afraid that I'll become too greedy and cancel the engagement and not marry into their family."

Hu Bifang is a recent graduate and is not even 18 years old.

But in rural areas, getting married at the age of 17 or 18 is very common, not to mention just finding a partner.

Hu Bifang's marriage was arranged by her family when she was a child. At that time, the Hu family was very poor and could hardly support their two children. They borrowed food from a family named Zhou in the neighboring village to overcome the difficulties.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Later, when he could not pay back the borrowed money, he promised the eight-year-old Hu Bifang to the eleven-year-old son of the Zhou family.

The marriage was thus settled.

Originally, Hu Bifang should have prepared for her wedding after graduating from junior high school, but she was admitted to high school and ranked well, so she must have wanted to try again.

The college entrance examination has been relaxed in the past two years, and being able to get into university is a matter of honor for the family. Hu Bifang wanted to continue her studies, and with the guarantee of the Hu family, the Zhou family temporarily agreed. However, there was a condition: if Hu Bifang could not get her grades into the top ten in the grade by the end of her first year of high school, she would have to drop out of school and go back to get married.

In the first half of the year's exams, Hu Bifang ranked only in the twenties.

"According to the agreement, I shouldn't have come this semester. My boyfriend insisted that I come. He also paid for my tuition and living expenses. But his mother found out last week and gave me an ultimatum: If I don't rank in the top ten in this exam, I must go back and get married."

Hu Bifang is clear about her own abilities. She can get into the top 20 with some effort, but it is impossible for her to get into the top 10.

Hu Bifang worked very hard in her studies, but her family was too poor. She usually ate sweet potato chunks, pure corn bran, or sorghum flour at school. With this kind of food, she was starving before the class was over every day, which definitely affected her studies.

Moreover, the kerosene she brought with her was often not refilled, and she did not have as much time to study as others, so she naturally fell behind.

Meng Shulan: "What's your partner's name and what does he do?"

Hu Bifang: "His name is Zhou Yan, and he is currently learning how to prepare banquets from an old chef."

The banquet here refers to the village chefs in the countryside who go there specially to help host banquets for weddings or funerals.

The cook, whose surname is Zhou, is Hu Bifang’s husband in her previous life.

In her previous life, Hu Bifang dropped out of school in her second year of high school, but Meng Shulan could not remember the exact time. She thought it was at this time that her husband's parents forced her to do so, and she could not think of a solution, so she went home to get married.

Meng Shulan: "How is your relationship with your partner?"

Hu Bifang: "Very good. He has always supported me in my studies, and I am very grateful to him."

Just being grateful is not enough.

Meng Shulan: "If you get into college and graduate, would you still be willing to marry him?"

Hu Bifang said without a second thought: "I am willing. I am not the kind of ungrateful person. I have thought about it a long time ago. If I want to take the exam, I will take the exam for a university in the city. After graduation, I will try to come back here. Then we can get married and live together."

There has been no recommendation recently, and I have been running naked for a while, which makes me a little depressed. I hope that readers will vote for me. I love you~ 　　 　 (End of this chapter)
