The families of educated youth who married locals, regardless of gender, did not agree to them taking the college entrance examination.
However, those educated youth had been trapped in the countryside for so many years, and now that they finally had a chance, how could they easily compromise or give up? They made a huge fuss.
Several companies were forced to bleed money, and in the end, they had no choice but to agree. What else could they do? If things went downhill and both sides suffered, it would be too late to regret it.

No, let Liu Jiu enjoy her single life. There's no need to rush into marriage. She definitely won't pressure you to get married, really!
Bonnie was amused by her own wild imagination. She was thinking too far ahead. She should think about what to eat for dinner. Sanqi's cooking skills were already quite good.
