Lu Zhenjia nodded. He knew very well what the two elders of the Lu family were thinking.

I think it’s a waste for Lu Youxi to study because she’s a girl. It would be better for her to get married and earn some dowry for her family.

In the future, Lu Youxi's dowry can be used to help Lu Youbang marry a wife.

As for Lu Youxue, he is still young. It will not be too late to consider the money for him to marry a wife when he grows up.

"But Lu Youxi argued with grandpa and grandma and finally persuaded them to agree to let her go to university as long as she could be admitted to Beijing University." Lu Youzhen described what she had seen at the Lu family before. "Also, Aunt Liu and Aunt Lin from both sides of my uncle's family were there at the time. Lu Youxi even asked them to be witnesses so that grandpa and grandma could not regret it."

"I didn't expect Lu Youxi to actually get into Peking University. When she returned with the admission letter, grandpa and grandma didn't say anything." Lu Youzhen asked Lu Zhenjia anxiously, "Dad, grandpa and grandma won't really just let it go and let Lu Youxi go to Peking University, right?"

"Even if your grandparents agree, I won't let her finish her studies!" Lu Zhenjia said with a gloomy face and gritted teeth.

"But, that's Beijing University." Ge Guifen reminded worriedly, "Can my parents really object to it?"

"Because it's Peking University, we can't let Lu Youxi go there." Lu Zhenjia said gloomily, "Once Lu Youxi goes to Peking University, Youbang will no longer be the only top student in our family or even in our village who has studied at Peking University. How can we let my eldest brother's family pay for Youbang in the future?"

"It's not just Youbang's tuition, but also his future job and marriage. Big brother's family will have to pay for it." Lu Zhenjia said, "As long as Youbang is the most promising child in our family, big brother has to pay for Youbang! But if Lu Youxi also wants to study at Peking University, big brother can't stop her. By then, we'll have to use all our savings to support Lu Youxi's schooling, so how can we have money for Youbang?"

"Dad is right!" Lu Youzhen nodded heavily. "When I was still there, I heard my uncle and aunt say that they would sell everything they had to support Lu Youxi's studies. Moreover, my uncle also said that as long as Lu Youxi could continue to study, he would continue to support her. I guess if Lu Youxi could get a doctorate, my uncle would be able to support her until she got a doctorate."

"How can that be possible?" Ge Guifen became anxious when she heard this. "If that's the case, wouldn't Lu Youxi become a bottomless pit? What about our friendly countries?"

"That's right!" Lu Zhenjia raised his head and stared at the door fiercely. "And if Lu Youxi goes to college, she won't have a dowry if she doesn't get married. Without her dowry, what will our family use to help Youbang find a wife?"

"You're right!" Ge Guifen suddenly realized, "What should we do now? How can we stop Lu Youxi? She was admitted to Beijing University, and she even asked the neighbors to be witnesses."

"What's the testimony of the neighbors? They are just watching the fun. How can they care about other people's affairs? The village chief can't control our family's closed-door education of our children!" Lu Zhenjia's small triangular eyes were filled with malicious ruthlessness. "Forget about Beijing University. I will make sure she can't even go to college. She will marry me obediently and give her dowry to our friendly country!"

Lu Youxi didn't know what Lu Zhen's family was planning yet, so she took the admission letter and left the Lu family.

When she was leaving, she heard Lu Zhenjia shouting behind her: "Youxi, where are you going again? Why are you still holding the admission letter? Don't lose it!"

Mrs. Lu appeared at the door of the main house again and said angrily, "You are going out to show off with your admission letter! You don't even know your last name after being admitted to Beijing University. You are going out to show off with your admission letter!"

Mr. Lu also came over, tapped his pipe against the door frame twice, and whispered to Mrs. Lu, "Did she take the notice to the village chief? Ask the village chief to testify for her or something?"

"This damn girl is full of tricks! She even asked the village chief to be a witness, and she was shouting as if she wanted to let the whole village know that we won't let her go to college!" Old Mrs. Lu said bitterly, "She doesn't even feel ashamed!"

When Liu Yusu heard what Mrs. Lu said, she thought to herself, you also know that it is shameful not to let your child go to college.

You are embarrassed to do it, what is there for Lu Youxi to be embarrassed to say? Lu Youxi ignored the words behind him and walked out.

The two elders of the Lu family thought that she was taking the notice to see the village chief.

Even Lu Zhenguo and Liu Yusu thought so.

Lu Zhenguo supported Lu Youxi in going to college, but he also felt that she had gone too far by taking the admission letter to the village chief.

"I'll go after Youxi!" Lu Zhenguo said, "We can't let her go to the village chief! Our family isn't against her going to college. It's really too embarrassing for her to go to the village chief with this!"

"Zhen Guo!" Liu Yushu said hurriedly, "Youxi would never do that!"

"It's hard to say!" Lu Zhenguo shook off Liu Yusu's hand, "Youxi is very opinionated now, she can do it!"

But when Lu Zhenguo ran out of the house, Lu Youxi was no longer there.

When Lu Zhenguo was looking around, he heard Mrs. Lu say in the yard behind him: "What can't she do? She's been shouting so much that the neighbors all know about it. How can she not tell the village chief? That damn girl wants to bring shame to our family! I said that girls are outgoing. Even if their last name is Lu, they won't think about our family. They are not as reliable as Youbang!"

Lu Zhenguo gritted his teeth and ran towards the village chief's house.

But Lu Youxi didn't go to the village chief's house at all. Instead, he went to Grandma Xu's house in the opposite direction.

She was quick on her feet and after turning out of Lu's house, Lu Zhenguo could no longer see her.

Lu Youxi came to Grandma Xu's house. The gate of Grandma Xu's house was open. As soon as she arrived outside the gate, she saw Zhou Shuyan chopping firewood in the yard.

It was a hot day, and Zhou Shuyan took off his shirt and wore only a pair of trousers with the legs rolled up to reveal his ankles.

As he raised the axe and chopped it down with force, the muscles in his back began to move.

Beads of sweat slid from the back of his neck to his shoulders, and then down to his waist.

Lu Youxi's gaze involuntarily followed the beads of sweat down, his eyes locked on his thin waist.

It's strange that the man's waist is so thin, yet he looks so strong.

The muscles on the sides of the waist look particularly easy to grip.

It was the first time that Lu Youxi saw him without his shirt. Usually he only saw him with clothes on.

I have the impression that Zhou Shuyan is very thin.

But I didn't expect that when she took off her clothes, she had such a good figure, with muscles but not excessive, making her look strong and full of beauty.

This is exactly the kind of muscles that Lu Youxi likes most, with smooth lines and not blindly pursuing size.

I'm testing the waters today, and it's still the same routine. Collect and recommend tickets, and please comment and check in. Whether I can pass depends on you. Woo woo woo woo
