Grew up in an orphanage, with average looks, and worked tirelessly for 30 years, accumulating six million in savings. Just as she finally achieved financial freedom without spending a dime, Su Yan ...
"My daughter has really made me proud!" Li Juan said, wiping away her tears.
The anxiety she had been carrying these past few days finally subsided at this moment.
No one can stop her daughter from going to university, or Li Juan will fight him to the death!
Su Yan said helplessly, "Mother, this is a happy occasion, why are you crying?"
"Mother is so happy, so very happy." Li Juan smiled through her tears, wiped them away, and quickly called to the woman who was about to leave, "Girl, don't go yet, let me pack you some food to eat on the way. Thank you for bringing my family the admission notice."
The woman who had just turned around stopped in her tracks, turning back to refuse, but Li Juan had already run into the house.
Su Yan smiled and said, "My mother is just too happy. I'm sorry."
Upon hearing this, the woman said it was nothing.
A short while later, Li Juan came out carrying a large bag, which looked to weigh about five or six pounds of braised food. She handed it directly to the woman and said warmly, "Girl, take this home and eat it with your family. My family's braised food tastes very good, and it won't spoil for a while."
The woman had so much to say, but the aroma of the braised food wafted out, instantly captivating her taste buds. The words that were about to come out of her mouth were forced to become: "Thank you, Auntie!"
"You're welcome. Please drive carefully," Li Juan said happily.
The woman responded, glanced at Su Yan whose eyes were bright and who was staring at her, and then turned and left.
After the car started moving, Su Yan clutched her heart and murmured, "I've finally seen a face that's hard to tell if someone is male or female."
If the other person hadn't had breasts, she really wouldn't have known if they were a man or a woman.
"What are you muttering about? Come in quickly, your mother has something to tell you!"
As the mother and daughter entered the door, Li Juan solemnly instructed them: "Keep your admission notice safe and don't take it out under any circumstances. When the time is right, take the train and leave. Don't let those beasts from the Su family know when school starts, understand?"
Su Yan was a little amused and exasperated. "Mom, I know what I'm doing, and you don't need to be so nervous. The Su family wouldn't dare to do anything to us."
"How can I not worry?" Li Juan said with red eyes, "Those two old bastards, including Zhang Yu, are no pushovers. Anyway, remember what your mother said, you must be wary of them!"
She had suffered a lot at the hands of her sister-in-law Zhang Yu, and there was also the cunning and calculating Old Master Su. No matter how smart her daughter was, it was hard to guarantee that she wouldn't make a mistake.
Her heart suddenly began to waver again.
Su Yan knew what her mother was thinking, which strengthened her resolve to deal with the Su family. "Mother, if they dare to do anything, I will not show any mercy."
These days, everyone has connections, right?
After giving her instructions, Li Juan rushed off to her stall to get busy.
Su Yan returned to her room and picked up her acceptance letter to take a look.
This thin acceptance letter represents the aspirations of countless students.
Moreover, at this time, university graduates could still be assigned jobs by the government.
Su Yan thought about many things, then drowsiness overcame her, and she unknowingly fell asleep with the admission notice in her hand.
She slept until noon before her grandmother woke her up for lunch.
During the meal, Grandma Li remarked, "Today's going to be quite a commotion."
Li Juan ran back around 8 or 9 o'clock to get the bag and told her family about the admission notice.
Su Yan understood what her grandmother meant. She casually stirred the porridge in her bowl and laughed, "Let them make a scene, the bigger the better, then I'll teach them a lesson."
Grandma Li was very satisfied with her idea and boasted, "Your personality is just like mine."
Even before the family tragedy, she was decisive.
Later, something happened, and she had to live a life of humiliation, feeling resentful for most of her life. Fortunately, she had a granddaughter who looked just like her, which made up for her regrets.
"Grandma, are you praising yourself?" Su Yan teased.
Grandma Li chuckled.
Su Yan finished her porridge in one gulp, then got up and walked out. "I'll go keep an eye on things at the stall too, so that the Su family won't go and cause trouble for my mother."
Meanwhile, the Su family she mentioned is already causing a huge uproar at the post office.
Huo Qianli stared coldly at the family in front of her and reiterated, "I said, the post office doesn't have Su Yan's admission notice. That's all the mail we have today. Your whole family has searched it all. If it's not there, it's not there. Do you expect me to conjure it up for you?"
Old Mrs. Su slammed her hand on the table, her voice shrill: "The message we received is that Su Yan's admission notice should arrive this morning. It's almost one o'clock now, and if we can't find your post office, you'll be held responsible!"
"Where did you receive this information from? What's the name of the person who gave you the information? Mail transportation is a state secret. I'd like to see who's so bold as to leak this information to you!" Huo Qianli questioned righteously and sternly.
"yes--"
"Shut up!" Old Master Su stopped his wife, this fool, in time, glaring at her fiercely before turning to Huo Qianli, his aged face grim. "Young lady, are you sure you don't have Su Yan's university acceptance letter?"
If it were anyone from the Su family seeing his expression, they would have confessed long ago.
Huo Qianli remained unaffected, raising her chin and saying, "I just showed you the emails. Did you find them? If you can't, then you don't have them. If you keep causing trouble, then I'll have no choice but to call the police."
Grandpa Su's face darkened further. He gritted his teeth and said, "Then let me borrow the post office phone so I can make a call."
"Sure, one cent for five seconds."
Upon hearing this price, Old Lady Su could hardly contain herself. "You might as well just rob us!"
Huo Qianli smiled and said, "I'm sorry, our post office telephones are gold-plated. Use it or not, it's up to you."
Grandpa Su realized that Huo Qianli's attitude towards them was problematic and immediately became suspicious.
Could it be Su Yan's doing?
But they've been at the post office every day for the past few days, and they haven't seen Su Yan come here at all.
But there was no time to worry about that now, so Grandpa Su readily agreed, "Give it to me."
Huo Qianli pulled out the phone and gave it to him.
After about a minute, the number that Grandpa Su dialed was finally answered.
He first introduced himself and greeted the person on the other end of the phone with a few flattering hellos before cautiously mentioning that the post office did not have Su Yan's admission notice.
After hearing something said on the other end, Grandpa Su quickly responded a few times, then handed the phone to Huo Qianli, saying, "I'm letting you take the call."
Huo Qianli took it without hesitation, not giving the other person a chance to speak, and said directly: "Mayor Long, right? I am Huo Qianli. I don't care what your relationship is with this family. If they cause trouble again, I won't be polite!"
After saying that, she tossed the phone back to Grandpa Su.
The Su family was stunned!
How dare a lowly staff member speak to the town mayor like that?!
Are you crazy?
