Aunt Yang once said, "Qingqiu is a college student, a person of status. You must think carefully before you do anything, and don't hold Qingqiu back."

These words probably made Cao Xinchun somewhat hesitant.

Her aunt's family is also very busy, so she can't come back often, and Yang Wanwan can't see her for the time being.

Yang Wanwan was very happy to see her younger siblings so motivated and smiled, "Then, let's work hard to save money for college, okay?"

"good!"

The siblings answered in unison.

In her previous life, Er Ye's academic performance was average, and she went to work after graduating from junior high school. With the financial support of her three older sisters, Shang Tao was able to attend high school and was even admitted to a prestigious university.

In this life, Yang Wanwan wants to send both herself and Er Ye to university.

Yang Wanwan said, "So, tell me, how did you learn this week? Er Ye, have you mastered everything the teacher taught?"

Futaba's eyes darted away a little. "There are still some things I'm not quite sure how to do."

Where is Shang Tao?

Shang Tao's eyes widened. "I know it all, big sister."

Yang Wanwan looked at Er Ye and said, "I'll give you a few questions to do in a bit."

After the meal, some fed the pigs, while others washed the dishes.

Just then, Grandma Yang arrived and reminded us, "The weeds in the field are too tall. Go and cut them this afternoon. Don't let the weeds trample the seedlings, or the harvest will be bad. After cutting the weeds, apply some compound fertilizer if it doesn't rain."

Yang Wanwan agreed. Grandma Yang looked around and found that there was nothing special to tell her, so she gave a few more instructions before leaving.

It was still very hot, and it would be unbearable to go to the fields at this time, so Yang Wanwan gave them a few questions to do.

Shang Tao was very focused and finished in no time. Er Ye looked a little flustered; her boss hadn't finished yet.

Yang Wanwan checked Shang Tao's answers, and they were absolutely correct.

Futaba's results were less than ideal; she got one out of four questions wrong.

Yang Wanwan didn't blame her, but only said, "Erye, it's all my fault these past few days. I've only been thinking about making money and forgot to tell you about the importance of studying. Do you know why I noticed something was wrong with Wang Guixiang on the bus?"

Wang Guixiang is that Aunt Wang.

After they returned, Cao Lili did not come back, and Cao Xinchun did not show any unusual behavior, so they still cannot be sure whether Wang Guixiang is a liar or not.

However, Yang Wanwan was quite certain that there was something wrong with this matter.

Otherwise, why would those two men be chasing after them?

Futaba asked, puzzled, "Why?"

Yang Wanwan told her, "Because I had memorized the address of my cousin Cao Lili's factory before, it was written in English. But the road we took later was not in the direction of that address at all, so I realized the route was wrong. Think about it, if I didn't know English at all, I wouldn't have noticed the problem. The people working in the village said that the college graduates in their factory earn more than 1,000 yuan a month, while they are only junior high school graduates, so they only earn 300 yuan. Why do college graduates earn so much more? Because they do many things that others can't do."

Er Ye was a little embarrassed and said shyly, "Big sister, I will study hard."

"That's good. Your older sister will find a way to earn money. If you have enough money by then but still can't get into university, then even if you have the money, it won't help, understand?"

"knew."

Futaba's words were sincere.

In the past, she thought she could only study for another year or two before going to work. But after going to Shenzhen with her older sister and seeing her sister's abilities, Er Ye suddenly felt confident about her future.

Seeing that Er Ye wasn't just giving her a perfunctory answer, Yang Wanwan breathed a sigh of relief and went to find tools to go to the paddy field.

Er Ye and Shang Tao took their things, closed the door, and the three of them went to the field to cut grass.

The rice seedlings were already quite tall, and the weeds were growing wildly. The three siblings had worked all afternoon but had only managed to cultivate one acre of land. The various small insects in the field were quite annoying, and they could even see small snakes crawling by.

Can she not farm next year? Is it worth it to put in so much labor and reap so little?

Finding a way to make money instead of farming isn't difficult, but earning enough to support the two siblings' schooling is not easy.

Every method of getting rich that she knew required money as a foundation and a significant amount of time to cultivate. But she had neither the time nor the capital; what could she do?

As Yang Wanwan cleared the weeds, she pondered to herself.

As dusk fell, Shang Tao cut a basket of sweet potato vines and carried it home to cook. Yang Wanwan and Er Ye continued clearing weeds.

As she bent over, a woman called out to her, "Yang Wanwan!"

Yang Wanwan straightened up, and Wang Guixiang, dressed fashionably, stood on the edge of the field, smiling and greeting her. Her curly hair, red lips, and dress made the thirty-something Wang Guixiang look like a city dweller.

Yang Wanwan suppressed her doubts and wariness, and pretended to be innocent, "Aunt Wang, you're here."

Wang Guixiang asked, "Didn't you say you weren't going to study anymore? Why are you back?"

Yang Wanwan sighed, saying with regret and helplessness, "Alas, I'm incompetent. I came back because I couldn't make any money. Aunt Wang, I was so carsick that time, I had to lie in bed for several days to recover. I'm so sorry. I wanted to call you to tell you, but I didn't have your phone number. Later, I talked to Cao Lili's mother, and she told you, right?"

After settling down in Shenzhen, Yang Wanwan called Cao Lili's mother to say that she got carsick and got off the bus, but ended up getting separated from Aunt Wang. During the call, she expressed her deepest apologies and mentioned that she had found a job.

Er Ye looked at Wang Guixiang nervously. Yang Wanwan was afraid that Er Ye would say something, so she called to her, "Er Ye, go pick some chili peppers to take back. Shang Tao forgot to pick them earlier. After you've picked them, go home and cook. I'll be right back."

The chili peppers were planted on another field ridge, several tens of meters apart, and Yang Wanwan was trying to spread out the two leaves.

Futaba, filled with doubt and apprehension, walked up the ridge of the field, turning back every few steps as she went.

Wang Guixiang flashed the gold ring on her hand and said to Yang Wanwan, "It's alright, there's still a chance. Look, we've only been there for a little over a month and we've already earned gold rings. Cao Lili earns five hundred yuan a month."

Having said everything she needed to say, Yang Wanwan simply gave a faint "oh".

Wang Guixiang: "Look how hard you work in the fields. Why don't you come work with me? We'll bring your little sister too. You'll end up working after junior high anyway. The sooner you earn money, the sooner you can use it. Your parents aren't here anymore. Aren't you just a burden on your grandparents if you go to school? You need to be filial, don't you think?"

Yang Wanwan laughed: "Aunt Wang, you saw it that time, I got carsick. If we hadn't been lucky, we wouldn't have been able to go home later. I was so scared that I didn't dare to go again."
