Chapter 295 Is this wrong too?

Lu Qingqing looked at Shen Xuewei beside the table, her face full of smiles.

Shen Xuewei nodded politely to her, "Auntie, it's been a long time."

Lu Qingqing's smile deepened. "Weiwei, it's been so long! You never come to see me, even when you have time. Yuyan and Yufei have been clamoring to see their cousin lately."

She gently nudged the two children beside her, "Come on, hurry up and call her cousin. Didn't you just say you wanted to see your cousin?"

The two children looked at Shen Xuewei timidly, "Cousin."

The louder one's voice was soft, but his pronunciation was clear; the softer one's words were still unclear.

Grandma Xi stood up. "You've come at the perfect time. We're about to eat. I'll get you some chopsticks. Come sit down and have a bite to eat."

Lu Qingqing declined, saying, "No need, no need. I just heard that Weiwei is here, so I came to see her."

That's what they said, but their feet remained rooted to the spot.

Grandma brought over bowls and chopsticks, and the three of them sat down.

Shen Xuewei put a chicken leg in her bowl, and the child stared longingly at it.

She glanced down at the chicken leg she had only taken two bites of, sighed, and handed the other chicken leg that Grandma Xi had left for her to Chen Yuyan.

Chen Yuyan swallowed hard, whispered "Thank you, cousin," and then grabbed the chicken leg and started eating it in big bites.

After the mother and her two daughters had dinner at the Chen family's house, they talked with Shen Xuewei for almost an hour.

It wasn't until her second maternal grandmother's voice came from outside that Lu Qingqing's face fell, and she led the two children away.

You could hear her arguing with her second maternal grandmother from a great distance.

Grandma Xi watched from the doorway, then went back inside and sat down next to Shen Xuewei.

"Sigh, it's all because they don't have money. Your cousin does nothing but eat and drink all day long, and your second maternal grandfather is lazy too. The burden of the family falls on their shoulders, and they have it tough too."

Shen Xuewei listened, nodding occasionally in agreement.

Ever since Chen Fangdong and Chen Fangqiu had a fight at home years ago, the relationship between the two families has not been as good as before.

The two families live in the same village, so they see each other all the time and occasionally exchange a few words.

However, apart from Lu Qingqing, the other members of the second maternal grandfather's family no longer frequently visit the Chen family.

Even when they wanted to hear gossip, they would listen outside and were unwilling to step into the Chen family home.

Although the words came from Chen Fangdong's mouth, they also reflected the meaning of his second maternal grandfather and his wife.

When Lu Qingqing felt wronged at home, she would come to Grandma Xi to complain.

Grandma Xi has seen how she's fared over the years.

However, although she felt sorry for the other party, she was not too willing to get involved. After all, she had Chen Fangqiu, that troublemaker, in her own family, who would cause trouble every few days, and she was too lazy to care about others.

It had been so long since Grandma Xi had spoken to Shen Xuewei like this. She poured out all the things that had been weighing on her mind, and felt much lighter afterward.

Grandpa Chen sat at the door listening to their voices, and took out a cigarette from his pocket to smoke.

Shen Xuewei only stayed at the Chen family's house for a few hours. As the sun set, she said goodbye to the elderly couple.

"Grandpa and Grandma, I have to go now. I'll come back to see you when I have my vacation."

"You're leaving already? Aren't you going to stay home for the night?"

Even though she knew Shen Xuewei wouldn't be staying there, Grandma Xi still asked again, unwilling to give up.

Shen Xuewei picked up her bag and said, "No, I have to go back to my second aunt's house to pack my things, so I won't be staying here."

"Okay, fine..."

Shen Xuewei waved to the two of them and walked towards the roadside.

After waiting by the roadside for a while, I waved down a passing van and got off at the entrance of Fuxing Village.

She stayed at the Chu family's house for one night, and left early the next morning with her suitcase.

Chen Fangli and her two siblings wanted to send her to Shanghai, but she refused.

She took a bus to the county, then transferred to another bus to the airport, waiting to catch a direct flight to Shanghai.

She had booked her plane ticket online several days in advance.

She arrived at the airport three hours early and sat in the waiting room.

She looked outside; although she was still inside the airport, her heart had already flown to Shanghai.

In her previous life, she had worked in many cities, but she had never been to Shanghai.

In this lifetime, she wants her first stop after leaving the nest to be Shanghai.

Just as she was about to close her eyes and rest, her phone rang urgently. She picked it up and saw that it was Wu Yuhong calling.

I just saw her yesterday, why are you calling her again so soon?

Shen Xuewei muttered to herself as she pressed the answer button.

"Hey, Yuhong, what's wrong?"

The next moment, Wu Yuhong's hoarse and desperate voice came through.

"Weiwei, I can't go to university. I'll never go to university in my life..."

Shen Xuewei's slight drowsiness vanished instantly at her words.

She straightened up. "What's wrong? Don't worry, tell me slowly. There's always a solution."

Wu Yuhong squatted in the corner of the kitchen, clutching the last corner of her admission notice, sobbing uncontrollably.

"My parents, my parents... they burned my college acceptance letter."

"By the time I found out, it was too late. My acceptance letter was missing a corner, and I couldn't go to university."

Thinking that all her years of hard work had gone to waste, Wu Yuhong couldn't stop crying and even wanted to bang her head against the wall.

She couldn't understand why her parents treated her this way.

That was true then, and that's true now.

She just wants to be successful and become a better person. Is that wrong?

Listening to her sobbing, Shen Xuewei let out a sigh.

"Don't cry, there will definitely be a solution. Let me think..."

"Go ask the school that admitted you. Tell them you accidentally lost your acceptance letter and ask if they can reissue it, or if there are any other solutions, and what materials you need..."

In Shen Xuewei's view, this is not like the 1970s and 1980s, when you had to have an admission notice to enroll.

It's already 2009. Even if the admission notice is gone, the person was indeed admitted to the school.

If the person matches, there's a high probability they'll be admitted.

Shen Xuewei's words rekindled Wu Yuhong's hope, and she nodded repeatedly, trying her best to remember what Shen Xuewei said.

"Okay, I...I'll go ask the school, I'll ask right away."

She hurriedly hung up the phone, found the school's phone number on Baidu, and was about to call when she suddenly stopped.

She wiped away her tears, then suddenly rushed out of the house, running far, far away to a deserted place before finally dialing the number.

Shen Xuewei held her phone, feeling extremely worried about Wu Yuhong.

Just then, the announcement urging passengers to board came on. She had no choice but to suppress her worries, turn off her phone, and board the plane.

Two hours later, the plane landed at Shanghai Airport, and Shen Xuewei got off the plane with her suitcase.

He found a spot nearby and called Wu Yuhong.
