Chapter 51: Turbulence



Fifty thousand yuan!

Fifty thousand yuan in 2009 is still very valuable!

If the last 5,000 yuan only made students envious and teachers sigh, then this time, the whole school was truly envious.

These high school teachers expressed their envy, as their annual salary probably doesn't even reach this amount.

Meanwhile, other children who are still in school are already being chased for rewards by the Education Bureau and the school. It is really amazing that they are good at studying!

Most importantly, many people wouldn't dare dream of getting into the top two prestigious universities, Tsinghua University, Peking University, and Tsinghua University, while their children were being vying for admission. News spread quickly in small towns, and the scene of Wu Jingye and Jin Yu answering the phone had already spread.

It is said that in order to get Wu Tong to study, the two schools gave him a starting scholarship of 100,000 yuan, and a monthly subsidy. After he was admitted, the amount of the scholarship from Peking University would probably increase. Add to that the subsidies for several years of university study, and it would be at least several hundred thousand yuan!

Not only does the other kid go to school for free, he also earns back ten years of his parents' wages and has accumulated a fortune! Compared to this kid, their kids are worth nothing.

Such a huge reward has been the hottest topic in the small county for a long time, and its spread has become more and more widespread.

Newspapers and media outlets that wanted to interview Wu Tong, businesses that wanted him to advertise, and those who came with their children to ask for tutoring were either relatives or colleagues of Wu Jingzhong and Jin Yu.

Media outlets could refuse outright, but those who knew them couldn't really avoid it. Chinese customs prioritized personal relationships; even the slightest indifference could lead to gossip and bury Wu Jingzhong and Jin Yu, making it impossible for them to gain a foothold in the county.

People are afraid of being famous just like pigs are afraid of being fat. As the news spread, both the Wu and Jin families were troubled.

Wu Tong couldn't concentrate on her studies at home. When she went to Jin's house, there were also enthusiastic neighbors watching her. She could only stay in school as much as possible. Her classmates were better off.

Looking for advice. Wu Jingzhong printed out a stack of Wu Tong's tutoring notes for Jin Xin and kept them at home. He was never stingy and gave everything he should have given. However, Wu Tong's energy was limited and he had his own research, so he really couldn't provide one-on-one tutoring.

Those who are more rational can understand this, but some people who only care about themselves will exhaust the whole family.

Especially when Old Mrs. Wu was going to live in the Wu family with her eldest grandson who was repeating a grade, she asked Wu Tong to put other things aside and to help her eldest grandson improve his grades so that he could attend a prestigious school like Wu Tong.

"Our Wu Junyang is the only child of the Wu family. Second brother, you might break a tile in the future and ask Junyang to wear mourning clothes. You are so heartless that you don't care about your family. You must take good care of Junyang." Old Mrs. Wu asked as if it was a matter of course.

If Wu Tong wasn't a girl, the boss said that she couldn't be replaced, so it would be best for Wu Tong to give the Peking University spot to Junyang.

"Junyang is very smart, but he just had a fever last year and couldn't perform well!"

"I heard that the little girl won a lot of bonuses this time, reportedly tens of thousands. How much can a little girl use? Why not use it to hire a few good teachers for Junyang to tutor her? I'm a little worried about letting her tutor the little girl!"

So he's using Tongtong, but still despises her? He's clearly managing Tongtong's money, sucking her dry!

Hearing this, Jin Yu almost burst into laughter. How could there be a person like Old Lady Wu? If there was anything she was dissatisfied with her husband, it would have to be his suffocating family background.

The Wu family lived in the village below, and consisted of three siblings. Wu Jingzhong was the second child, with an older brother and a younger sister. Old Mrs. Wu favored her eldest son and grandson, and loved her youngest daughter dearly.

There were many conflicts back then, and their relationship faded. Now Wu Jingzhong was the one who handled everything there. During the holidays, Jin Yu did not stop Wu Jingzhong from sending the due filial gifts back, but Jin Yu and Wu Tong rarely visited the Wu family, and their relationship there was not very strong.

After the falling out, Jin Yu basically hasn't visited the Wu family for many years.

She has a job and is capable, and her parents are helpful. Her hometown doesn't dare to go too far. Only a fool would go to the Wu family to suffer abuse out of filial piety.

Fortunately, her lover Wu Jingzhong was not valued by his parents since he was a child. He worked hard to escape from the countryside and received higher education. His personality and character are very different from those of his original family. He is clear-headed and has a just so-so relationship with his family, so she does not have to suffer the torture of her original family.

Otherwise, no matter how good their relationship is, they won’t be able to survive.

"Mom, here are Tongtong's lecture notes. If Junyang is willing to learn, let him take a copy. It's a token of my gratitude as an uncle and a token of my gratitude as a cousin. If you have any other requests, I'm sorry I can't fulfill them. I'll take you and Junyang out for dinner and we can catch the bus home early!"

Wu Jingzhong has always been clear about his position. He has a shallow relationship with his parents and siblings, and he also has a wife and a daughter. He should be filial to his parents, but don't think that he is being blindly filial and being manipulated by them. He should be filial to his parents as well as his siblings.

When he was admitted to university with great difficulty, his parents wanted him to give up the place to his older brother, which completely cut off his expectation of having a close relationship with his parents.

Wu Jingzhong was too lazy to say more, and he didn't want to upset his wife with this mess. When Tongtong came back, it would be even more annoying. So he simply sent the grandson and grandson away. He would take care of the mess at home himself.

"You two elders, please live in peace and quiet. I will give you my filial respect. If you don't want to live a good life and insist on making trouble, then don't blame me for getting angry. I will let the court decide how much my filial respect will be. You can see whether the court awards more or I give more based on my conscience!" Before saying goodbye, Wu Jingzhong said something to Old Lady Wu.

With this, the family will always be quiet for a long time! He knows his parents best, and the most important thing is themselves.

They favor the eldest brother because he flatters them in order to get their money and labor, and they also rely on him to provide for their old age. If he stops paying his respects, just look at how these two old people will live!

If he doesn't want to live a good life, then neither of us should. His wife and daughter are his Achilles' heel. He sees that even though the two elders are partial to each other, they still feed him and raise him. He will respect him when he should, but don't expect him to just accept it! He will fight anyone who wants to harm his daughter to death!

His tuition was paid by the state, and it was to the state that he owed his undivided loyalty. In the future, his and his wife's retirement would also be borne by the state.

Not to mention that they have a good child like Tongtong, even if they didn't, their work unit would take care of their funeral arrangements, so there's no need for their parents to worry about it. They don't care about the so-called mourning clothes and the shattering of tiles to send off their children.

"Tongtong won't be allowed to go back with me for Chinese New Year this year. Afterward, we'll send Tongtong to Beijing early!" Back home, Wu Jingzhong and Jin Yu discussed the situation. Tongtong wasn't feeling safe studying at home, given the family's situation. During the video call for the contract, they realized Tongtong's academic advancement was so advanced that the county town was limiting his progress.
