Chapter 353 The Chu Family Turned Upside Down
On the minibus going home, Chu Yaoyao started crying as soon as she got on the bus. She was not crying for the lost university place, but for her shattered city dream and her shattered face.
When she was kicked out of Shanghai University, she was the most embarrassed and humiliated with so many people watching.
Li A'mei kept comforting her, "Don't be afraid, Yaoyao. It's just a university, right? If we don't want to go, then we can go to a technical secondary school. After you graduate, you can take your dad's job at the steel mill. You'll have a stable job there too."
"I don't want to work in a steel mill. I don't want to be a boilerman! It's dirty and smelly every day and I don't make much money! I don't want it! Wuuuuu!"
"You silly kid, the steel mill is a stable job. When you become a formal employee, you can get a house. Don't you want a house? Your name can be written on the property title, and your household registration can be transferred here..."
Although Li A'mei is married to Chu Nanshan, the house they live in now was allocated by Chu Yue's mother. Although Chu Nanshan's name was added later, with the addition of Chu Yue and Chu Jianshe, there are four people under one house title.
Li A'mei racked her brains to move her and Chu Yaoyao's household registration here, but the street office refused to let her do it, saying that there were too many people and the policy did not allow any more to be added.
Later, Chu Yue was driven away, but the girl made a surprise comeback at the last moment and specifically instructed Chu Nanshan not to add her to the household registration.
After Chu Yue left, Li A'mei tried to sound out Chu Nanshan's attitude, but the old man actually did what Chu Yue said and refused to give in, which made her very angry.
After some comfort, Chu Yaoyao gradually calmed down and stopped crying when she heard about the house and household registration.
But her embarrassing experience had just begun.
When they returned to the steel plant's residential area, the neighbors were more surprised than each other to see them. They chased after them and asked, "Li A'mei, didn't you say Yaoyao was going to Shanghai to attend university? Why are you back again?" "You said you were going to have a graduation banquet and asked each of us to give a one-dollar red envelope. Now you don't want to study anymore?" "You left early in the morning, why are you back now? Yaoyao is back too? What happened? Did you get expelled..."
These questions will not only be asked today, but will be asked every day in the future. They will also poke Chu Yaoyao in the back and say, "Look at that Chu Yaoyao, she said she was going to Shanghai to study at a university, but it was all a lie. She was kicked out of school."
From then on, there were endless jokes.
Not only the neighbors, but also Chu Yaoyao's classmates. She had boasted about going to Shanghai to attend university, and now she came back in disgrace. She had completely given up on her life.
So, after returning home, Chu Yaoyao smashed things, cried loudly, and locked herself in the room and refused to come out.
Until now.
Chu Yaoyao, who finally walked out, kept shouting, "It's bad enough that I embarrassed myself at school! I embarrassed myself in this alley too. Every single one of them is laughing at me! They're all laughing at me! They're laughing at me for not being from a prestigious university! They're laughing at me for being so embarrassed! How can I even leave the house after this!!!"
"No, no! Yaoyao, if anyone dares to laugh at you, I'll tear his mouth apart! You're fine, stop crying. Didn't we agree before that I'd send you to a technical secondary school, work at the steel mill, and even get a house and a household registration? What a great thing."
When Chu Yaoyao heard these words for the second time, she was not happy at all and muttered, "I don't want to be a worker all my life!"
While the mother and daughter were talking, the door of Chu Jianshe's room next door was open, and he heard clearly that Li A'mei wanted Chu Yaoyao to take over the shift.
Whose class is it? Of course it’s Chu Nanshan’s.
In this family, Chu Nanshan is the only official employee of the steel plant, so he can let his children take over his shifts.
Li A'mei never dared to say these words before, because Chu Jianshe was the only son in the family, and Chu Nanshan's job would definitely be left to Chu Jianshe.
But ever since Chu Yue was kicked out, Li A'mei has become more and more arrogant at home, and now even Dingban has been targeted.
At the same time, when Chu Yaoyao was making a big fuss, Chu Nanshan was sitting in the corner of the room. Chu Nanshan clearly heard the "taking over the shift" remarks, but he didn't say a word, as if he had silently agreed.
Chu Jianshe suddenly remembered what Chu Yue said to him the night she left.
Society is changing rapidly these days. In a few years, by the time you graduate from technical school, the steel mill won't accept technical school graduates anymore; they'll only accept college graduates. Even if you want to take your dad's job, the factory won't hire you. If you're still a little ambitious, you can repeat a year, get into a regular high school, and then apply to college.
Chu Jianshe suddenly realized that the person who really cared about him in this family was not his silent father, nor his hypocritical stepmother, but Chu Yue, his only sister who had been driven away.
Just as Li A-mei designed Chu Yue's college entrance examination results at that time, she will design him in the same way in the future.
Chu Jianshe suddenly woke up, walked out of the room, and went straight to Chu Nanshan. He said to him, "Dad, I don't want to go to technical school. I want to repeat my studies, apply to a regular high school, and then apply to university."
Chu Nanshan looked up upon hearing this and looked at his son in surprise.
When Li A'mei heard this, her reaction was much more intense than Chu Nanshan's. She hurriedly left Chu Yaoyao and rushed over, pulling Chu Jianshe and speaking in a serious tone.
"Jianshe, why do you want to take the entrance exam for a regular high school and go to university when you're doing well? University isn't that great, it's even worse than a technical school. After graduating from a technical school, you can get a job, and when you work, you can make money. How great is that?"
Chu Jianshe gave Li A-mei a cold look and asked, "Since you said there's nothing wrong with college, why did you steal my sister's college entrance examination scores and send your own daughter to college?"
"Jianshe...Yaoyao is a girl, and you are a boy. Boys and girls are different. Besides, you still have your father. Your father's house will be yours in the future. What do you have to worry about?" Li A'mei was still trying to make her own twisted logic, but in fact, she had a lot of plans in her mind.
If Chu Jianshe goes to a regular high school or university, he will have to study for another seven or eight years. Studying costs money, a lot of money. These seven or eight years are the age when Chu Yaoyao will get married.
All the family’s money was used to pay for Chu Jianshe’s studies. How could she prepare a dowry for Chu Yaoyao?
Drive Chu Yue away and turn Chu Jianshe into a technical school student. The technical school has dormitories, so he can make money and move out early, and still have the house vacant. That would be the best!
Originally, Chu Jianshe was a person with no ambition, but suddenly he said he wanted to go to college, which completely disrupted Li A-mei's plans.
Chu Jianshe was too lazy to look at the hypocritical Li A-mei again, so he looked at Chu Jianshe.
He asked, "Dad, my sister is your biological daughter. She has been kicked out of the house. Do you want to watch me get kicked out too?"
