After waiting for Chen Xiaoyu to calm down, Yu Wan finally found out what had happened to her.

The test papers that Chen Xiaoyu and I had written were placed in the office. The teachers left them there after correcting them and didn’t think of putting them away.

Everyone was busy grading papers and assigning homework, and completely forgot about this matter.

Chen Xiaoyu's younger brother Chen Lixia did not do well in the final exam, so he wanted to sneak into the teacher's office and steal his test paper.

In this way, he would not get any points, and he would not be scolded by his father when he returned home.

What he didn't expect was that when he sneaked into the office to steal the test paper, he actually saw Chen Xiaoyu's test paper, and she actually got full marks.

Chen Lixia suddenly felt uncomfortable at this moment.

In his eyes, Chen Xiaoyu was his servant and his slave. How could she possibly score higher than him?

Then she hurried home and told her mother that Chen Xiaoyu was attending school and even took the exam.

When Chen Xiaoyu was beaten, Chen Lixia felt extremely happy. This was the consequence of getting a perfect score on the test.

Chen Xiaoyu couldn't understand why her brother would treat her like this.

When my younger brother was young, I raised him from childhood to adulthood.

I just didn't expect that my brother would treat me like this.

Especially when her mother beat her so hard, her brother could actually laugh out loud beside her.

At this time, He Huaishi went to his room, found a set of clothes he wore as a child, handed it to Chen Xiaoyu and said to her.

"This is the clothes I wore when I was a child. Try it on first and see if it fits you."

Looking at the clothes in front of him without even a patch, Chen Xiaoyu reached out and touched it carefully. Even his brother might not have worn this soft fabric.

At this time, He's mother had prepared ginger soup and He Huaishu had boiled the bath water.

When Chen Xiaoyu went to take a shower, Yu Wan looked at He Huaishu and said to him.

"Do you think I was too impulsive today and spent the money without consulting you?"

At this time, He Huaishu took a dry towel and wiped Yu Wan's hair which had just been wet by the snow.

"You can spend our family's money however you want.

What's more, most of the money here was given to you by your teacher and your senior brother."

Just saying this, He Huaishu paused, and Yu Wan turned his head and looked at He Huaishu and said with emotion.

"You mean to say that greed is the key to success, and there's a good chance they'll come after us, right?"

When He Huaishu heard this, he nodded. He had exactly the same concerns in his mind.

After all, the Chen family doesn't seem to be easy to deal with.

If you keep pestering them, you will have to spend a lot of time and energy on this matter.

At this time, Yu Wan turned around and faced He Huaishu, took his hand, and spoke to him.

“Now that I think about it, I know I was too impulsive.

I showed the Chen family how much I care about Chen Xiaoyu, and they can use this incident to blackmail them later.

But do you know?

Today, when I saw Chen Xiaoyu lying in the snow, looking so lonely and helpless, I felt heartbroken.

Such a well-behaved and good child should not have to go through all this.

I used to see Chen Xiaoyu studying so hard that when she felt sleepy she would pinch her thighs.

Or in the middle of winter, he would run out to fetch well water to wash his face.

I advised her at the time that if she felt sleepy, she should just take a nap. It would be the same if she studied again after waking up.

Chen Xiaoyu had to do a lot of work at home and study late at night, so she was naturally so sleepy that she couldn't even open her eyes.

But Chen Xiaoyu said to me.

She said that if the teacher said that I was admitted to the No. 1 Middle School in the county.

Will the parents of girls like me in the village find out?

In fact, girls also have a talent for studying, can read good books, and can get into middle school.

If I pass the exam, I will have provided a way of life for other girls in the village.

A path that doesn’t involve getting married and having children right after adulthood.”

Yu Wan paused at this point, sniffed, and then continued.

"She's only ten years old, yet she's so considerate of others and works so hard.

One more year.

If she could successfully get into the county's No. 1 Middle School a year later.

The village chief would let her go to school even if he had to pay for it himself.

Then she can live in the school dormitory and leave this family.

So I had to find a way to get her out of the Chen family no matter what.

I can’t let those vampires from the Chen family drain her dry.”

Hearing this, He Huaishu put the towel in his hand over Yu Wan's head.

Then he held Yu Wan's cheeks with both hands and half-knelt down to face Yu Wan.

"Xiao Yu, just do what you want to do. I will cover for you no matter what happens."

Looking at his reflection in He Huaishu's eyes, Yu Wan leaned forward slightly.

The two of them were nose to nose, and when Yu Wan was about to close his eyes, He Huaishi suddenly opened the door and walked out.

"Sister-in-law, I've cleaned up the room. Xiaoyu and I can sleep in the same room tonight."

Seeing He Huaishi ruining the atmosphere, He Huaishu quickly stood up straight, looked at He Huaishi, and spoke to her coldly and ruthlessly.

"Have you finished reviewing your lessons?

I will come to check your homework tonight."

When He Huaishi heard this, he felt like the sky was falling.

What did she do?

She just went to tidy up her room, so why did her brother check her homework as soon as she came out of the room?

At this time, He's mother walked into the hall with a smile to smooth things over.

Having just noticed the actions between Huaishu and Yu Wan, she stepped aside in due time, but she didn't expect her daughter to be so tactless.

"Okay, today is Xiaoyu's first time celebrating Chinese New Year at our house, so let's have a good meal in advance tonight."

When he heard about delicious food, He Huaishi's attention was instantly attracted.

Without bothering to explore anything else, she quickly ran to her mother, took her mother's wrist and said.

"So what are we going to eat today? Do you have braised lion's head?

Mom, I really want to eat braised lion's head."

At this time, He's mother reached out her hand, tapped He Huaishi's nose and said.

"Yes, there is nothing you don't want to eat, you little greedy cat."

When it was time to eat, Xiaoyu didn't know what to do when she saw so many meat dishes in front of her.

She had never seen so many meat dishes. Even during the Chinese New Year, her brother and her younger brother would only have one egg each.

At this time, He's mother kept putting food into Xiaoyu's bowl and said.

"Xiaoyu, just eat.

If you like a dish, just tell Auntie and we’ll make it again tomorrow.”
