After Grandpa Niu went back, he was scolded by Grandma Lü.

Aunt Lü was already angry because he mentioned divorce, and now that she had lost face again, she was not going to back down and cursed back.

The two inevitably started arguing, and their sons and daughters-in-law didn't dare to step in and mediate.

They argued until midnight, filling the entire courtyard with their shouting and cursing, keeping other residents awake as well.

In the end, it was Grandpa Ma who knocked on the door and spoke to them before they stopped.

However, because of this incident, Su He and his family completely broke off relations with Grandpa Niu's family, and it was quite awkward for them to meet Hao Mei.

The two didn't say much. Although Su He still wanted to get along with her like before, they were, after all, her in-laws, and she couldn't interact with them privately. So their relationship gradually faded.

Su He didn't care too much. She usually had to work and didn't have much time to deal with these things. She could only say that making friends was something that happened naturally.

When the holidays came, Su He's family returned to Nanshan Village.

Oh, it's been renamed now, it's called Nanshan Brigade, and their town has also been renamed Yanliang Commune.

However, Suhe still prefers to call it Nanshan Village.

Upon arriving in the village, everyone who had heard the news came out.

Clearly, the fact that Su He went to university has become common knowledge among the Su family.

You could hear the villagers talking all the way.

"Old Su's daughter, Heya, is really amazing. You could tell she was a good girl from a young age, and look, she's finally gone to university."

"Yes, when she couldn't go to university, we all thought she was going to fall behind. But we never expected that gold can shine anywhere. And look, she's risen up all of a sudden."

"I heard she went to Peking University. Even though I can't read, I know that's the best university in our country. That's really impressive!"

"Yes, the Su family's golden phoenix has finally flown away!"

"Hey, they've already flown out. They found a job on their own merits and they're doing pretty well."

"Yeah, she was a police officer, and now that she's going to university, she'll lose that job. What a waste!"

"Pshaw, what do you know? Once she graduates from university, she'll be assigned a much better job than she is now."

"real?"

"Of course! Otherwise, do you think this university education is free? I heard it doesn't cost a penny; the government provides subsidies."

"This is wonderful!"

...

These words drew envious glances from the villagers.

Su He was a little embarrassed by the praise, while Lin Jingyan, who was holding the child, looked proud.

After she entered the house and sat down, a bunch of people came over—relatives, friends, neighbors, villagers, people she knew and people she didn't know. Many of them brought their children, wanting her to see if they were academically inclined.

Su He was exasperated. Did they think she was a fortune teller?

Although her master was a Taoist priest, he had never taught her this skill.

However, Su He did not refuse, and every time they met, she would say that as long as she studied hard, she would definitely be successful.

She thought that these children were all quite young, and if they studied hard, they would graduate around the time the college entrance examination was reinstated, and they might actually amount to something.

The only regret is that most of these children are boys, with very few girls, who were probably rejected from the start for this opportunity to change their appearance.

Su He felt helpless, but there was nothing she could do to change it. After all, in the countryside, it was rare to find families like theirs where gender equality was the norm; favoring sons over daughters was the norm.

All she can do is make herself better and try to change their mindset in the future, so that everyone can see that girls can also be successful and bring benefits to their families.
