Yue Keqi thought about it and agreed.

She immediately became gloating.

"The eldest daughter of the prestigious Bai family, pregnant out of wedlock, is already shameful enough if word gets out! But to make matters worse, she marries a divorced man. How wonderful!"

"Given Chen Yuyan's character, it's fine if he remains mediocre his whole life. He'll still be somewhat polite to Bai Xiuxiu out of respect for the Bai family. But once he gains power, he'll inevitably torment Bai Xiuxiu."

"Bai Xiuxiu is doomed now that Chen Yuyan has gotten her into this mess. She'll never be able to escape him for the rest of her life. This is her retribution!"

Thinking about Bai Xiuxiu's future fate, Yue Keqi's anger subsided considerably.

She's already in such a miserable state, why should I bother arguing with her?

"Alright, let's go back to the classroom and start class."

Jiang Jingxue pulled Yue Keqi back to the classroom.

School's out.

Jiang Jingxue and Yue Keqi were preparing to leave.

The principal came over and called her back.

"Jiang Jingxue, wait a moment."

"Hello, Principal, is there anything I can help you with?"

The principal beamed: "I just received the report card from above today. Jiang Jingxue, you got the highest score in this medical competition and won first place! Well done! You certainly didn't disappoint me!"

The principal praised Jiang Jingxue highly.

Yue Keqi was even more excited than Jiang Jingxue upon hearing the news.

"Jingxue, you're amazing! You actually won first place in the medical competition! If I had that result, my dad would be so happy!"

The principal smiled and handed Jiang Jingxue an envelope.

"Here's eight hundred yuan, the prize money for first place in this competition. I can get the certificate tomorrow and apply for my medical license directly."

Jiang Jingxue accepted the envelope; the prize money felt heavy in her hands.

Recalling her previous life, she was slandered, beaten by her husband and mother-in-law, and almost lost her life because she did not have a medical license.

Now, with her medical license within reach, she will never have to endure the pain she once suffered.

Jiang Jingxue's feelings were complicated.

At that moment, she almost burst into tears.

It wasn't just because I was excited to be able to successfully obtain my medical license, but also because I felt sorry for my past self.

"Thank you, Principal!"

Jiang Jingxue bowed deeply to the principal.

"I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it!"

The principal waved his hand: "This is the result of your hard work, and you deserve everything. In fact, I should thank you. You've brought such great results to our school, and as the principal, I'm very proud of you!"

"Alright, I won't disturb you after school anymore, go home!"

After the principal left.

Yue Keqi chattered away around Jiang Jingxue.

"Wow, a prize of eight hundred yuan! That's equivalent to an average family's annual income!"

"I've never had so much money to spend freely in my entire life!"

"Jingxue, have you thought about how to spend this money? I think you could buy yourself some nice clothes, some jewelry, and maybe get your hair permed so you can look like a movie star. How cool would that be!"

"Then... with the remaining money, we can go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy lots of delicious food, buy some of those imported goods that we usually can't afford, and then go out to eat, have a big meal at a state-run restaurant!"

Following her own ideals, Yue Keqi planned out how to use the money for Jiang Jingxue.

If she had this windfall, she would want to enjoy it all at once.

Jiang Jingxue spoke calmly.

"I plan to keep this money for my college education."

In my previous life.

Her biggest wish is to go to university.

She used her savings to buy several tattered secondhand books and studied them whenever she had a spare moment.

Every time the old widower caught her reading, he would abuse her.

She was like a slave they bought.

They wished she could do housework and chores 24 hours a day.

Whether it was delicate tasks like washing clothes, cooking, and sewing, or rough work like chopping wood, planting crops, feeding pigs, and herding cattle, they left it all to her to do alone.

In the eyes of the old widower and his wicked mother-in-law, her reading was just laziness, that she was restless and only wanted to run away.

We must beat her hard so she won't dare to be lazy or harbor any illusions.

She still remembers the old widower hitting her with a thick shoe sole while yelling, "You? You want to go to university? Take a piss and see if you're even worthy! You won't have that kind of luck in this life or the next!"

The wicked old woman watched the show from the sidelines, cheering on her son.

"Son, give her a good beating! She's already part of our family, and she still dares to think about running away! If we don't scare her this time, she might run off with some other man! All the dowry money we spent will be wasted!"

In her previous life, not being able to go to university was her lifelong regret.

In this life, she is determined to get a university degree.

It's not just to make up for regrets, there's another very important reason.

Since the reform and opening up, diplomas have become increasingly important.

She didn't want to be held back in her future life and work because she lacked a degree.

As Jiang Jingxue reminisced about the past...

Yue Keqi, standing beside her, looked surprised.

"Jingxue, are you going to have to save up for your college tuition yourself? Pingwei is so stingy! He won't even give you this little bit of money! It's a source of pride for his wife to go to college, he should support her unconditionally. It's too much to be so stingy!"

Jiang Jingxue was so immersed in past regrets and pain that she didn't hear what Yue Keqi was saying at all.

Yue Keqi also noticed that Jiang Jingxue's mood was off.
