Lin Chuchu acted bravely and righteously, and will receive a medal and reward from the higher authorities.

Lin Chuchu refused everyone's suggestion that she be supported by the government and insisted on going to the research department to complete her translation work.

Due to the special circumstances, Mu Chen was transferred to her side as her bodyguard.

Mu Chen wouldn't allow her to do anything besides work, and she was confined to a wheelchair every day.

After the fright she experienced that day, Lin Chuchu became very clingy and even more dependent on Mu Chen.

When Lin Chuchu's family found out she was injured, they were extremely worried. Fortunately, Mu Chen called home in time.

It's almost June now, and this year's college entrance examination is scheduled for July. Compared to last year, there are more applicants this year, and the competition is even more rigorous.

Lin Chuchu didn't know how many of them would get accepted, since each school only had a limited number of openings, making the competition even fiercer.

Lin Chuchu spent a month recovering from her injury. Mu Chen picked her up and dropped her off from school every day, and her mother would also make her bone broth. She even gained some weight.

My mother also started making clothes. The cheongsams she made were very popular with her friends, and some people in the alley would also ask her to make custom ones.

My mother didn't expect to earn too much; she just wanted to pass the time, supplement the family income, and earn some pocket money. Even so, she earned 86 yuan in the first month, which was more than her previous salary.

A month later, after a doctor's examination, the doctor said there was no problem, and Lin Chuchu was finally able to get rid of the wheelchair.

Once her leg was healed, she was on summer vacation. But she didn't rest; she went back to the translation department to oversee the work, helping with the translation of documents for the higher-ups, and also taking on other jobs for the newspaper.

Over the past few months, Lin Chuchu and Mu Chen have used all the money they earned to renovate their courtyard house, installing lights, furniture, and toilets in the other rooms.

On the day the college entrance examination results were released, Lin Chuchu saw many nervous parents and children who hoped that their children would get into university and achieve good results.

Some people also want to leave the countryside and change their fate.

Lin Chuchu deliberately avoided these people, when she heard someone calling her from the side.

"Chuchu, over here, over here!"

Xiao Meng waved excitedly at her, with Xiao Tang standing next to her.

Compared to Xiao Meng's liveliness, Xiao Tang is much more mature and composed.

"Why did you all choose to watch a movie today of all days?"

Lin Chuchu really didn't understand why they wanted to watch a movie at this time, because there were too many people.

Xiao Meng chuckled, "I forgot that the college entrance exam results came out today. I can't just waste the ticket I bought."

Xiao Tang smiled and said, "Alright, let's hurry up and go to the movie theater. You two college students are too busy."

Xiao Tang didn't take the college entrance exam. One reason was that she was getting old and lacked the mental strength, and another was that she had to take care of her child and had a good job, so she didn't want to bother taking the exam.

Lin Chuchu gave her a strange look. "You seem to be in a good mood. Did something good happen?"

Xiao Tang didn't mince words and said it directly.

“My mother-in-law has gone back to the countryside and will be living with my boyfriend’s older brother from now on.”

Lin Chuchu was somewhat surprised, "I didn't expect her to back down so quickly, well done."

Xiao Tang took a deep breath, "That's because the method you taught me is good."

She was filled with gratitude. Her mother-in-law was incredibly good at managing people. In front of her boyfriend, she was extremely kind to the child and very polite to her, even listening to her in everything. But when they were alone together, she would find fault with everything.

She elevates her son while belittling herself.

She suffered a lot of injustices in secret, and her partner was blindly filial to his parents, so he always made her tolerate him.

It wasn't until the last time, when her mother-in-law drank the malted milk powder she bought for her child, that she realized all the eggs and meat she bought had ended up in her mother-in-law's stomach, and her child had become thin and weak and was always sick.

She had a big fight with her boyfriend and ran back to her parents' house. When she complained to Lin Chuchu, Lin Chuchu gave her some advice.

Her son caught his mother-in-law secretly eating something.

One day, Xiao Tang bought a lot of food and meat. She didn't tell her mother-in-law what she was going to do with it, but only told her that she would stew it when she got back that night.

The mother-in-law thought she was going to eat something delicious behind their backs, so before Xiao Tang came back, she cooked everything and ate it all, leaving the child without a single bite.

When the child said he was hungry, his mother-in-law hit him, saying that he was just as greedy as his mother.

Just then, Xiao Tang's boyfriend returned with several colleagues. The child's arm was red and swollen from being beaten, and he immediately started crying when he saw his father.

Only then did he realize that his mother was not feeding her grandson and was letting the child go hungry.

Xiao Tang's boyfriend politely asked all the guests to go home, and then had a big argument with his mother.

That was the first time Xiao Tang had ever seen her boyfriend yell at his mother. Even pretending to faint couldn't save her from being scolded by his son.

After that incident, a few more things happened. Some gossipy woman said that someone was seducing her son and wanted his money.

She went to their house and made a scene. Ignoring their explanations, she started hitting them. In the end, it was only after the woman's mother found Xiao Tang's boyfriend that they were pulled apart.

Afterwards, Xiao Tang's boyfriend kept apologizing because the girl was the daughter of his boss's boss.

This incident caused quite a stir. The mother-in-law was called in by the police for a talk, and when she came out, she was so frightened that she stayed in bed for half a month.

Xiao Tang wasn't home because her mother was sick and she had been taking care of her.

When I got home, my mother-in-law had already been taken away by my boyfriend.

Lin Chuchu didn't expect that her casual remark would have such a good effect.

The rest was all improvised by Xiao Tang.

The three people were walking towards the movie theater chatting and laughing when suddenly a girl was grabbed by the hair and slapped twice.

"Didn't you say you could get into high school? How come your grades are so bad? I should have married you off to Old Wang next door."

Tears streamed down the girl's face. "Mom, please give me another chance. I'm sure I can get into a good university next year. I don't want to get married, and I don't want to pay for my brother's dowry."
