Chapter 696 Reluctant but Must Be Giving Up

Everyone sighed in dismay. Suddenly someone said, "Your fourth son's wife also got into university, and it's the Capital University. When you go back, you must tell Uncle Chen and his wife and Jianjun to keep a close eye on her, lest she run away too."

The others chimed in, "That's right!"

He finally managed to marry a city girl, and if she runs away like this, it won't be easy to find someone as good as her again!

"That's impossible, Xiaofen isn't that kind of person." The Chen family's daughters-in-law exchanged glances and spoke up in support, as they all knew that Lu Xiaofen was definitely not that kind of person.

"Why not? Who wouldn't want to live a better life and stay stuck in our little village forever?" someone scoffed, thinking them naive.

Zhou Zhaodi argued vehemently, "Xiaofen isn't one of those educated youths who were forced to go to the countryside. She married into our family voluntarily and can go back to the city anytime, unlike the educated youths who could only return after obtaining a quota to return to the city."

She can leave whenever she wants; there's no need for her to sneak away.

“That’s right, Xiao Fen isn’t that heartless!” Liu Lanzhi nodded in agreement.

A bystander scoffed, "Who knows if they have any conscience? The capital is not the same as the provincial capital!"

Even if the fourth son of the Chen family is a worker, a college student from the capital might not necessarily look down on him!

Water flows downhill, and people strive to climb higher!

If they really run away, they'll have a lot to cry about!

Zhou Zhaodi said proudly, "Our darling is also going to high school in the capital!"

The fact that the fourth son's wife was able to get into a university in the capital must be thanks to her son's good fortune!

The people in the commune were unaware of this and were stunned when they heard the news: "Our precious child is going to high school in the capital?!"

Since Zhou Zhaodi had already let it slip, she simply admitted it: "Yes, my mother-in-law told me that the school has already been contacted!"

The others were even more shocked.

"Incredible! Your Chen family's precious child is practically a reincarnation of the God of Literature!"

"Then you'll go to university, find a job, and get married in the capital! My darling will be a resident of the capital from now on!"

"My God, a golden phoenix is ​​about to fly out of our village!"

One by one, they began to praise the baby, their eyes filled with envy.

With such a capable granddaughter, the Chen family is truly blessed by their ancestors!

Hearing these words, the Chen family's wives all felt proud.

Then they would all leave work an hour early to help their mother-in-law cook dinner at the brick house.

My darling is coming back today; my mother-in-law already told them about it yesterday.

While cooking, Zhao Mei carefully asked as she rinsed the rice, "Mom, are you really willing to let your precious child study in the capital?"

If Yuanbao were to go to study in the capital, just thinking about it would break her heart.

How could I bear to let my son go so far!

Ma Xiulian said calmly, "I have to let go, even if I'm reluctant. Xiaofen has also been admitted to Capital Normal University. With her going to take care of me, I feel much more at ease."

Of course she couldn't bear to part with it!

The thought that her precious child would only come back to see her during winter and summer vacations each year made her heart feel as if it had been ripped out, leaving her feeling empty and miserable.

But no matter how reluctant she was, she couldn't let her precious granddaughter's future be ruined.

My dear child is no ordinary person; he should go out and see the world more often, instead of being confined to this small rural area.

Moreover, the fourth son will also be going to work in the capital next year with Gu Qingshan and Jiang Manyun, but he hasn't mentioned this to the other wives.
