When An Moxue asked, Village Chief Guo remained silent, but Accountant Chen began to speak, "From the very beginning of the college entrance examination, Sister-in-law Wei disagreed. Qi Hehua repeatedly assured everyone that she wouldn't abandon Wei's eldest son even after passing the exam, and she even wrote a guarantee. Qi Hehua did pass the exam smoothly, but as soon as the acceptance letter arrived, Sister-in-law Wei went back to her parents' home, and I don't know what happened, but she stole Qi Hehua's acceptance letter and sold it to her niece for 500 yuan. Later, when Qi Hehua discovered the letter was missing, the matter became public, and Qi Taohua wouldn't let it go, causing a scene several times before we found out that Sister-in-law Wei had sold Qi Hehua's acceptance letter. Sigh! What kind of mess is this? Now everyone in both villages knows about it. We're at our wits' end!"

Village Chief Guo chimed in, "Now that the reforms have been implemented, the village officials' words don't carry as much weight as before. This Sister-in-law Wei is a real tough nut to crack! She's really difficult to deal with. How do you handle someone so unreasonable?"

An Moxue asked, "What is Qi Hehua's attitude? Her attitude is the key."

"We've been disheartened by the Wei family. She said this matter is far from over, and if it's not resolved soon, she's going to file a complaint with the educated youth office. Tomorrow is the deadline. That's why we're so worried. This mess has become known in several surrounding villages. Our village is now infamous, but not for a good reason. We're almost a laughing stock!" Village Chief Guo said with a wry smile.

An Moxue looked at the group and asked, "Didn't you look for Aunt Wei's niece? If you could get her admission notice back, that would be great."

"They're perfectly justified! They said they paid for it, so it's their right to not return it," Company Commander Wang said, shaking his head and smiling helplessly.

An Moxue was amused and annoyed. This was truly a case of ignorance being bliss. They didn't even realize they had violated national laws, yet they acted as if they were in the right. There was no one else like them. This was enough to warrant arrest and being listed as a national exemplar. It was rare to see someone so bold after the fact.

"What does 'village' mean?" An Moxue asked, looking at Village Chief Guo.

Village Chief Guo took a sip of water and said, "Logically speaking, if the parties involved didn't pursue this matter, we wouldn't necessarily have to get involved. The key issue now is that the Qi Hehua sisters aren't giving up, and everyone around knows about it. If this isn't handled properly, it will set a bad example! If things continue like this, others will follow suit, and how can the village possibly prosper? Therefore, we've decided that we not only need to get involved, but we need to get it right. If Qi Hehua files a complaint tomorrow, the village won't stop her; they'll even send officials to vouch for her. We can't let this one bad apple from the Wei family ruin our village's reputation."

“Uncle Guo, you did the right thing. Even if they destroy the admission notice in the end, with the relevant proof, Qi Hehua can still go to school, as long as she wants to. But the truth will out. As long as Qi Hehua files a complaint, I can tell you clearly that they have all broken the law and will all have to go to jail. Especially since this matter has become so big and has a very bad impact, it cannot be resolved by the Wei family trying to settle it privately.”

"Is it that serious?" They thought that as long as they got their admission notice back, that would be enough, since they were all family and relatives, not outsiders.

"Just watch and see." An Moxue smiled mysteriously, but only Village Chief Guo could see the coldness in her eyes.

He asked, "Girl! Let's not talk about other people's gossip. I heard that when you came back this time, you drove a Jeep and parked it in Old Ma's yard! Is that true?"

"Yes, really."

Village Chief Guo lowered his voice and asked, "Are they all equipped with cars now?"

An Moxue smiled and said, "Uncle Guo, there's no need to be so careful. I borrowed it."

"So you're really something! Coming back is a vacation?" After Village Chief Guo asked, Accountant Chen and Company Commander Wang both looked at her, waiting for her answer.

"I guess so. Also, I'll be going back to Kyoto to study in a while."

"Which school?" Accountant Chen asked eagerly.

Village Chief Guo rolled his eyes at him, then looked at An Moxue with eager eyes.

An Moxue sighed helplessly, "Kyoto University."

The gasps of the three people rose at the same time.

Good heavens!

"That's amazing!"

"You've got potential!"

"This is the best university. Study hard, and you'll definitely have a bright future," Accountant Chen said sincerely.

Village Chief Guo retorted, "You're kidding me! Our Mo Xue is already promising, it's just that now that she's in university, she'll have an even brighter future." His proud demeanor made him look like his own son!

Company Commander Wang said, "I also want my son to study hard so that he can go to university in the future."

"Our village has produced another college student. We should publicize it. No one in the surrounding villages has been admitted to this university. No wonder Mo Xue is so amazing." Village Chief Guo gave a thumbs up in praise.

"Uncle Guo, I heard that a few people from our village passed the exam. Are there still any educated youth left in the village?"

"Yes, besides those returning to the city, there are also some who have started families. Some people know they have a weak foundation and didn't even take the exam. That leaves us with a few. They're not all troublemakers; they're living peaceful lives and settling down here, so we have to treat them all the same. However, there are still a few who didn't pass the exam and are quite troublesome. There's nothing we can do about it; there are all kinds of people in this world. If anyone knew you were going to Kyoto University, they'd be so jealous they'd fall out of their wits." Mo Xue hasn't been in the village for years, but rumors about her still surface from time to time, mostly from those who are just jealous.

The door opened, and An Moxue turned her head to look, only to see the Qi Hehua and Qi Taohua sisters coming in together.

Qi Taohua's eyes lit up when she saw An Moxue. She ran over and grabbed An Moxue's hand, refusing to let go. "Sister Moxue, you're really back?"

An Moxue smiled at her and nodded to Qi Hehua. Time had indeed left its mark on Qi Hehua's face. She was no longer young, and her face showed the vicissitudes of life. An Moxue thought that she must have had a hard time these past few years.

Qi Taohua, on the other hand, has truly grown into a young woman. She is no longer sallow and thin, but full of energy. She is quite different from her older sister, Qi Hehua.

"What brings you here?" An Moxue asked Qi Taohua.

She said, "We came to tell the village that it seems neither the Wei family nor Aunt Wei's family are willing to compromise. My sister and I are planning to go to the educated youth office to file a complaint tomorrow, and we are also planning to report the case to the police station. School is starting soon, and this matter must be resolved as soon as possible. We will not compromise."

Qi Hehua then spoke up, "Village Chief Guo, Accountant Chen, and Company Commander Wang, thank you for your hard work these past few days. I'm sorry for dragging the village down; I had no choice." As she finished speaking, tears streamed down her face, flowing more and more freely.

Qi Taohua rushed over, wiping away her tears as she said, "Sister, don't cry. Crying won't solve anything, it will only make you more upset. Ever since you gave birth to Xiaoxin, their attitude has completely changed. Don't be so sexist. Aunt Wei acts like she's not a woman. We can't stand this humiliation. Let's take Xiaoxin and leave the Wei family. Let them find someone else to have a son for them!"

Seeing that she had calmed down, Village Chief Guo said, "Tomorrow when you go to the town, I will go with you and act as your witness. This is also the village's intention. Our village absolutely cannot tolerate this kind of bad trend."
