"That's right!" The voice of Aunt Liu, the neighbor on the right side of the Lu family, also came out.

But I didn't see her.

I only heard the sound of something being shelved next door. After a while, I saw Aunt Liu from next door also half of her body popping out from the other side of the wall, also climbing up the ladder.

"I've been listening for quite a while. It's a good thing that Youxi can get into college. How can we stop her?" Aunt Liu pouted. "Besides, it didn't cost you two old people's money. What's wrong with her parents paying for her to go to college?"

"All our family money has been used to support Youbang to go to college. We have no money left to support Lu Youxi." Old Mrs. Lu said with her neck stiff.

"This is even more wrong. You can support Youbang to go to college, so why can't you support Youxi to go to college?" Aunt Liu couldn't stand the way the two elders of the Lu family treated Lu Youxi and Liu Yusu.

But I am always an outsider and can’t say anything.

But it is too much to not let a child go when the child is obviously capable of getting into university!

It's not easy for their village to have a college student! "Auntie Lin, Auntie Liu." Lu Youxi said loudly, "You are here, I would like to ask you to be my witness."

"You say." Aunt Lin might not be as out of pure justice as Aunt Liu. It is unknown how much gloating she had in her heart, but she responded very promptly, even a few seconds faster than Aunt Liu.

Aunt Liu also nodded, "You go ahead, Yuki."

"My grandfather just said that as long as I can get into Peking University, he won't stop me from going to college." Lu Youxi said, "I hope Aunt Liu and Aunt Lin can be here to bear witness. If I really get into Peking University, you two can be my witnesses and don't let my grandparents deny what they said."

"Although my grandparents didn't pay for my tuition after I passed the exam, my father is filial and my mother is honest. They have never disobeyed my grandparents' wishes. So in order to prevent some unpleasant things from happening, it's better to make it clear now."

"Yuki! What are you talking about!?"

Lu Youxi turned around and saw Lu Zhenguo and Liu Yusu coming back with the tools they had used to work in the fields, just in time to hear what Lu Youxi said.

Lu Zhenguo strode towards Lu Youxi in shock and anger, and whispered, "Why can't you discuss this with your family members? Why are you saying this in front of outsiders?"

He had not read much, but he knew that family disgrace should not be made public! What was Lu Youxi doing? Lu Zhenguo grabbed Lu Youxi's arm and walked home.

"Old Lu, why don't you ask what's going on?" Aunt Liu hurriedly climbed down the ladder, and after a while she ran out of her own door and turned into Lu's door, "Why do you come back to blame the child!"

"This is our family business, why are you meddling in our business? Your own children are not big enough for you to take care of." Old Mrs. Lu spat at her.

"Dad, grandpa and grandma said they won't let me go to college, even if I pass the exam." Lu Youxi looked up at Lu Zhenguo, "Dad, will you let me go to college?"

"You want to let others laugh at you just because of this?" Lu Zhenguo still felt ashamed.

"When you're not at home, there are only my grandparents at home. They said they don't want me to go to college and want me to get married." Lu Youxi said, "I don't understand. I don't spend their money to go to college, so why don't they let me go?"

"Yes, Lao Lu, Lao Liu and I are listening." Aunt Lin said, "Youxi is a good student. Everyone in the village knows that she will definitely be admitted to university. You can't let your child not go to university, right? Your family favors boys over girls, but you can't go to this extent! If my daughter can study so well, I will sell everything I have to make her continue her studies!"

"That's right. It makes you act like Lu Youbang is your own son. If you can support your nephew to go to college, can't you support your own daughter to go to college?" Aunt Liu said dissatisfiedly, "Uncle Lu also said that if Youxi can't get into Peking University, he won't allow you to go to other universities. He said it's a waste of money!"

"Who said I don't support Youxi's college education?" Lu Zhenguo blushed and said in a rough voice, "If Youxi can get into college, I will sell everything I have to support her! Youxi, if you have any problems, just tell dad directly. How can I stop you from studying? Why are you making a fool of yourself in front of the neighbors?"

Lu Youxi pursed her lips, thinking that it was precisely because of the presence of Aunt Liu and Aunt Lin that Lu Zhenguo was inspired to speak out now.

Even if Lu Zhenguo finally agreed to let her go to college, she would still find it annoying!

It’s better to solve it quickly.

"It was grandma who was yelling in the yard, and the two aunts heard it." Lu Youxi said, "Our yard doesn't have a roof, so the sound would have passed through. You can't ask them to cover their ears and not listen, right?"

Lu Zhenguo: “…”

"Go back to the house first!" Lu Zhenguo said.

"I have to go to the village entrance to wait for the express delivery. The admission letter will arrive in the next few days." Lu Youxi said.

"Sister, I'll go with you." Lu Youxue came back with Lu Zhenguo and Liu Yusu, and hurried to Lu Youxi's side.

Lu Zhenguo took a deep breath. He really didn’t want to listen to Lu Youxi anymore.

Lu Youxi shook off Lu Zhenguo's arm and pulled Lu Youxue away without even looking at Lu Zhenguo.

Seeing this, Lu Youzhen hurriedly followed him. She wanted to see what kind of university Lu Youxi could get into.

"Lu Youxi, come back here!" Old Mrs. Lu yelled at the top of her lungs.

"Mom! Let's go inside and talk about what's going on!" Lu Zhenguo quickly pulled Old Mrs. Lu into the house.

Mr. Lu didn't want to let the neighbors on both sides laugh at him, so he didn't stop them.

After finally entering the house, Mrs. Lu shook off Lu Zhenguo's hand and said, "You are going against the will of heaven now!"

"Zhenguo, do you really want to support Daya to go to college? Do you have the money?" Mr. Lu asked unhappily.

"If I don't have money, I will go and borrow it. There is no reason for me to not let Daya go to college after she gets into college. If other children can go, she can go too." Lu Zhenguo said in a muffled voice.

"Other families are rich, but are you rich?" Old Madam Lu said angrily, "If it were me, she should just get married. Why waste money on going to college? What's the use of graduating? She'll still be a failure and will still have to get married. It's still a waste of time to go to college! Since she'll have to get married sooner or later, she might as well get married now and save the money for going to college!"

"Mom." Liu Yushu mustered up the courage to whisper, "Yuxi is a good student. She ranks first in the school in every exam. She will definitely be able to get into a good school."

Liu Yusu felt resentful.

How dare the old lady ask Lu Zhenguo if he has money?

Isn’t it because all the money was given to Lu Youbang that the family has no money?

Now, even though their own daughter is going to college, they have no money.

But she couldn't say anything. Even Lu Zhenguo would say that Lu Youbang was also a member of the Lu family. How could they be so clear? Liu Yushu lowered her head and muttered softly, "Youbang was admitted to Beijing University, but he never got first place in the school before."
