Zhao Guangsheng then asked, "If I remember correctly, you have three children, right? They're all in school?"

Wu Minhua said, "Yes, the youngest is only ten years old. My husband is currently hospitalized, so his maternal grandmother has to come and take care of the children."

Zhao Guangsheng's eyes darted around a few times, and he smiled kindly, "The poverty alleviation grants from our school are coming soon. Although it's not much, it can at least help with household expenses. You've been supporting such a big family all by yourself, which has been quite tough. So, we'll give you a spot this year."

Wu Minhua was quite surprised.

The poverty subsidy is a special fund established by the Ministry of Education for impoverished teachers. It only costs 800 yuan a year, which is a real lifesaver for families in need of money!

Although Wu Minhua's salary is not low, it is hard to support a large family. In addition, his wife's surgery cost a lot of money, making him even more strapped for cash.

However, his qualifications were not the worst among the teachers. He had applied several times in previous years, but had not been approved.

I never expected that Zhao Guangsheng would personally offer him a subsidy!

Wu Minhua was a shrewd person and naturally knew that Zhao Guangsheng wouldn't give him this favor for nothing.

Sure enough, after Zhao Guangsheng finished telling his story, he took a sip of tea and then picked up the list from before with a serious expression.

“Teacher Wu, the students haven’t reported this, but you still have to worry about it. They all worked hard to get in, and as the principal, I don’t want any student to drop out of school for any reason.”

Wu Minhua answered earnestly.

"What's the deal with this Zhao Yanyan?"

Zhao Guangsheng frowned and asked, "It's too strange that a girl scored such a high score but didn't report for duty and can't be contacted!"

Wu Minhua replied, "Her home is too remote; there isn't even a phone line in the village. Our admissions office called the town, and the people there said they would help inquire, but we still haven't heard anything."

Zhao Guangsheng raised his eyebrows and said softly, "Is there a mistake?"

"A mistake?" Wu Minhua asked, puzzled.

Zhao Guangsheng stroked his chin, carefully choosing his words, "My daughter Yan Yan estimated her score to be 350, but her actual score was only 140... As you know, I've lost face because of this. Yan Yan kept telling me that there was something wrong with her score, and I thought she was lying, so I scolded her a lot. But Yan Yan isn't the kind of child who lies..."

Wu Minhua understood what Zhao Guangsheng was planning.

"Principal Zhao, you're right. How could such a smart child like Yan Yan only score 140? It's probably because her name is too similar to this Yan Yan's, and there might be a mistake! I'll go and verify it right away!"

In fact, Wu Minhua felt a little contempt for Zhao Guangsheng's actions.

She sacrificed a promising college student for her daughter.

But he really needs that subsidy right now, so he can't worry about anything else.

Less than two hours after he left, he called Zhao Guangsheng.

"Principal Zhao, I have checked carefully, and there is indeed a mistake. Yan Yan is the student who scored 381 points!"

After receiving the call from Wu Minhua, Zhao Guangsheng called home.

"Xiaoqin, quickly tell Yanyan to pack her things and prepare her enrollment documents. She needs to come to Imperial University for registration first thing tomorrow morning!"

...

On the first day of school, the three girls in the dormitory all got up very early.

After washing up and tidying up their belongings, the three girls went to the cafeteria for lunch.

You need meal tickets to eat in the cafeteria. These meal tickets are exchanged for money in the cafeteria when you enroll.

Shen Jingyan's meal tickets, on the other hand, were redeemed using points in the system space, so many that she couldn't use them all even after ten years.

"Shanshan, you're not feeling well, so don't bother queuing up. We'll get whatever you want to eat for you."

Shen Jingyan said to Duan Meishan.

Duan Meishan hurriedly pulled out her meal ticket from her pocket: "I'll just have a bowl of porridge, a steamed bun, and some pickled vegetables."

With a calm smile, he pushed her hand back: "It's not too late to give it to me later!"

While she and Huang Yuexi were queuing for food, Huang Yuexi whispered, "She's over six months pregnant and only eats steamed buns and porridge. How can she get enough nutrition?"

So when they were getting their food, the two girls tacitly added a lot of things for Duan Meishan.

"this……"

Duan Meishan stared speechlessly at the plate of meat buns, stir-fried vegetables, and boiled eggs.

Shen Jingyan pushed the plate towards her: "Oh dear, I accidentally bought too much. Could you help us eat some, otherwise it will be a waste!"

Duan Meishan was intelligent and quick-witted; how could she not know the feelings of the two girls?

Her eyes reddened, and she quickly stuffed a steamed bun into her mouth to stifle her sobs, taking large bites while repeatedly saying, "Thank you..."

Finally, the three girls ate until their bellies were round and full, and they still had three meat buns and two boiled eggs left uneaten.

Duan Meishan carefully asked for their opinions, took out a lunchbox from her schoolbag, and packed up the steamed buns and eggs.

Just as the three were about to get up and leave the cafeteria, Shen Jingyan spotted Gu Zhiyun, a tall and handsome man so striking that almost every girl turned to look at him, amidst the bustling crowd.

Shen Jingyan instinctively called out, "Brother Yun!"
