provincial capital.
Mr. Cheng has been very busy recently and looks much more haggard than before.
A voice came from outside the door: "Uncle Cheng, there's a letter for you!"
Hearing Cheng Ye's voice, Cheng's father frowned and took the letter from him: "How did you get the letter?"
Cheng Ye said calmly, "Aunt Feng wanted to send it up. I happened to come across it, so I brought it up."
"If Uncle Cheng minds, I won't do it again next time." Cheng Ye said sincerely.
Seeing Cheng Ye like this, Father Cheng patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's okay. You know I've been busy lately and I'm not in a good mood..."
"Go play with Bai Xue."
Cheng Ye responded and the study door was closed.
Father Cheng stared at the name of the letter writer, his eyes changing from gloomy to bright.
When did the Lu family produce such a person? Lu Ming never mentioned it.
Long Yujiao's first letter was delivered together with other letters. The moment it was opened, it said that she knew what would happen in the future and that he would have a bad end.
She also asked him to help erase the record of her labor camp sentence. At the end, she wrote that all the current chaos would be over by mid-August, and that the college entrance examination would be resumed in October, with the exam in December...
Cheng's father didn't take it seriously. It had been ten years. They were from the same village, and if he believed a letter he wrote to him, wouldn't that be making fun of him?
He also threw the letter aside.
Unexpectedly, before mid-August, I received news that a meeting was being held in North City...
Things happened just as she wrote in the letter.
When Mr. Cheng came back from the meeting, the first thing he did was to look for the letter. In the past year, he had already noticed that something was wrong, but he didn't think the fire would burn him. According to what the letter said, his end would not be good.
He didn't believe it, but now it seems that the several major things she mentioned were all correct.
…
He collected his thoughts, tore open the letter in his hand, and frowned even deeper when he saw the contents inside. When he read to the end, Cheng's father slammed the table and actually threatened him.
No money for school?
Not only does she have to pay for her college education, but paying for it is not enough, and she also wants to build a small yard for him... What a bold idea!
Father Cheng has experienced so many ups and downs over the years, but he has never been manipulated like this, and by a woman!
After a while.
Cheng's father still called someone in and took the money: "Remit three hundred yuan to this person in your name."
As he spoke, he picked up a pen and wrote a letter: "Let's send it over in your name."
People came and went. Cheng Ye stared at the servant's back, with a thoughtful look in his dark eyes. Why would the people in Laoya Village send a letter to Uncle Cheng?
Cheng Baixue was the only one who was kept in the dark about the family affairs. She couldn't help but complain to Cheng Ye, "I wanted to apply to a university in the north, but Dad insisted that I apply to the south. How could life be better in such a remote place than here?"
"Not only is it the capital, it's also close to home, making it convenient for me to come back and see Dad."
Cheng Ye came back to his senses: "Listen to Uncle Cheng."
"It doesn't matter whether I listen or not. The school has already reported it anyway..." Cheng Baixue said in a resentful tone.
Cheng Baixue was not a good student, but her father had asked her to study at home every day since August and even found a teacher for her. In addition, the test paper was easy, so she was actually admitted to the school her father had registered for her.

Unlike the undercurrents in the Cheng family, the score lines were announced only after Chen Wu and Xu Yin had applied to schools and received admission letters. When the scores were announced, Lu Tao wanted to kill another pig to celebrate, but there were not many pigs in the village, so reason stopped him.
As the first college students to be admitted, the two of them had the highest scores in the province. They were almost tied, far ahead of others. The county newspaper interviewed them once, and then the city newspaper interviewed them again.
However, some people also felt sorry that they did not apply to the top universities in the north. The school in Yangcheng is also very good, but in the minds of the public, it is still not as good as the top universities in the north.
Chen Wu and Xu Yin did not regret it. Neither of them needed academic qualifications to prove themselves. Catching up with the spring breeze of reform was more important. Besides, the school they applied to was also ranked well.
Xu Yin had done a good job at the police station and had even been in the newspaper for catching human traffickers. Now that he had done well in the exam, he had endless interviews. In the end, he was so fed up that he pushed everything onto Chen Wu and just stood by as a ruthless photo-taking machine.
Looking at his third sister-in-law and her wife appearing in newspapers one after another.
Lu Ye was extremely anxious.
"I hate myself for not studying hard enough."
Lu Xuan glanced at him and said, "This is not about whether you study well or not, it's about your brain."
Manman was listening beside him, grinning.
"Lu Xiaoniao!"
Manman quickly covered her mouth.
The news that Shen Wu and Xu Yin were admitted to university spread throughout the nearby villages, and naturally reached the ears of the Shen family.
Since returning from labor reform, one or two of the Shen family members have become much more obedient and have not harassed anyone for a long time. Although they are still in contact with Shen Shu, they dare not go too far.
When Shen Mingli heard in the village that Shen Wu and Xu Yin had been admitted to university, he shook his head repeatedly: "Impossible, how could it be possible? She didn't even finish elementary school."
Shen Jizu also frowned: "It's hard to say, she can even become a teacher, maybe she has studied again in school in the past few years?"
"Dad, it's all your fault that I've been delayed. I'm a good student. If you hadn't given me such a bad idea and asked my eldest sister to remarry, I might have taken the college entrance examination and done better than my third sister..." His parents had always said that he was a better student than his third sister since he was a child.
Shen Mingli still thought it was impossible and shook his head repeatedly: "I have to go to Laoya Village to inquire."
Xu Yin’s family will be happy.
The whole family went to Laoya Village to celebrate for Xu Yin. They bought several newspapers about Xu Yin and burned them to offer sacrifices to their ancestors.
Xu Yin's mother kept muttering, "The ancestors are dying."
Xu Yin's father was a simple and honest man. He smiled innocently when he heard this and said, "None of our ancestors had any scholars. This is not something our ancestors created."
Xu Yinniang was so angry that she slapped him several times to stop him from talking nonsense.
Shen Mingli did come, and as soon as he entered the village, he ran into Zhao Chengcheng, Zhao Lele, Lu Xiaoniao and Dahei who were running wildly. Now this group is the bully of Laoya Village.
Shen Mingli recognized Manman at a glance. She looked so much like Shen Wu when she was a child, like a doll. There was no other child as pretty as her in the surrounding villages.
He leaned forward and said with a smile, "Your mother is Shen Wu, right? I'm your grandfather."
He forced out what he thought was a kind smile.
Lu Manman said, "Sister Lele, I heard that my grandfather likes to eat feces. Is that true?"
She asked innocently, her voice in the tone of a child.
Zhao Lele patted his chest upon hearing this and said, "He eats with such relish! Last time I threw feces at him, he opened his mouth to catch it!"
Zhao Chengcheng was dissatisfied: "Xiaoman, I splashed it, my sister thought it was smelly..."
The smile on Shen Mingli's face gradually broke. Looking at Zhao Lele and Zhao Chengcheng, he wished he could kill these two little bastards.
