Chapter 22 The Poor Girl (2/2)



"How could I not worry? If I had known that studying would make a person stupid, I shouldn't have let her go to high school in the first place."

"If you don't let her go to high school, the matchmaker will come knocking on our door. Do you really want her to get married and have children at such a young age?"

Zhang Fenglian remained silent, her eyes red-rimmed.

Aunt Zhong couldn't help but advise, "Girls should study more so they can have a better life in the future. You're doing this for her own good."

Zhang Fenglian then burst into tears.

Half an hour later, Dr. Huang came out, and Aunt Zhong immediately took Niannian to play with Chen Yingzi.

Dr. Huang said to Zhang Fenglian, "The child's problem isn't too serious, it's just that we're worried she won't get into university and will let her family and parents down. As parents, you shouldn't put so much pressure on her..."

There's only a little over half a month left until the college entrance exam. Whether she's laid a solid foundation or not, it's too late to worry about that now. It's better to keep her in a good mood. If she doesn't pass this time, she can always retake the exam. If she can't afford to retake it, she can find another way. There are so many paths in this world. Don't let her limit herself from the very beginning..."

After Dr. Huang finished comforting Zhang Fenglian, he left her a prescription and told her to buy it herself at the pharmacy: "The child is too anxious, has internal heat, constipation, and insomnia. This medicine is good for replenishing qi. In short, if you don't want anything to happen to the child, the whole family needs to relax... If there is no significant improvement next week, come back to see me."

The ferry back in the afternoon was at 4:30, and it was only 12:30 now. After taking the money out of the snakeskin bag, Liang Guiying put it in a zippered cloth bag and then took Zhang Fenglian and her daughter to the east bank of the river.

Liang Guiying took Zhang Fenglian and her daughter for a walk in Beishan Park, and then headed straight to Xinhua Bookstore.

Zhang Fenglian and her daughter picked out an English review book and two classic novels. Liang Guiying went to buy two fountain pens. When the mother and daughter weren't looking, she put the pens in her bag and secretly slipped a hundred yuan into the books.

Finally, while waiting for the bus at Wenhua Road, Liang Guiying handed them a note: "You'll be taking bus number 3. Get off at the last stop. The pier is right there. Keep this phone number safe. Call me if you need anything urgent."

A short while later, bus number 3 arrived.

Watching Zhang Fenglian and her daughter get into the car, Liang Guiying slowly exhaled.

In her previous life, Chen Yingzi suddenly went insane the night before the college entrance examination. After that, she wandered around several villages. Zhang Fenglian and her husband were able to keep an eye on her at first, but later they got too old to keep up with her. Chen Yingzi was then bullied one after another, and she gave birth to one child after another.

After Zhang Fenglian and her husband passed away, she suddenly regained her senses and struggled to survive in the dilapidated house left by her parents, raising several children whose biological fathers were unknown.

In her previous life, after Liang Guiying became paralyzed, she lived in the city for more than half a year before Zheng Fangshu sent her back to her hometown. None of her nephews and nieces, whom she had raised, were willing to come back to see her. It was Chen Yingzi, who had no blood relation to her, who fed and bathed her and stood up for her when Zheng Fangshu and Chen Zhilan returned.

Now that her life has been restarted, Liang Guiying wants to help this kind and pitiful girl.

I hope she can overcome the hurdle of the college entrance examination and have a wonderful life that is completely different from her previous life.

Zhang Fenglian and her daughter also boarded the ferry, where they discovered the fountain pen and the hundred yuan tucked inside the book.

Zhang Fenglian recalled the events of the past two days and couldn't help but shed tears. She said to her daughter Chen Yingzi, "Yingzi, you must remember how good your aunt is."

When she left, Liang Guiying took her household registration booklet with her. After seeing Zhang Fenglian and her daughter off, she deposited the money.

The total amount from selling the pig and the service fee given by Boss Zhang was 11,700 yuan. Before leaving, I gave Granny Zheng 100 yuan, and just now I gave Zhang Fenglian another 100 yuan, leaving me with 11,500 yuan.

When Fourth Aunt returned the things last time, there was a thousand yuan in the envelope. She didn't spend a penny of it and forgot to give it to Zhou Yue. So she kept five hundred yuan for backup and saved twelve thousand yuan.

After leaving the bank, Liang Guiying went to the department store, walked around each floor, and then went back to the women's clothing section on the second floor to buy each of the three of them a new outfit.

There was a stall selling dragon beard candy on the right side of the department store. Liang Guiying bought three, all shaped like fish. There was also someone selling cloud cake next to it, and Liang Guiying also bought half a catty.

It was almost six o'clock when the bus arrived at the station. Liang Guiying thought that if she hadn't cooked yet, she would kill a chicken; if she had already cooked, she would kill it tomorrow.

I wonder if Zhang Fenglian has gotten home yet. Will she be so foolish as to think she put the money in the wrong place when she sees it? Will she then foolishly run back to return it to her tomorrow?

By the way, since she's been back in the countryside for so many days, have Zhou Yue's uncle and aunt come to visit?

Just then, someone suddenly jumped out from the side and stood in front of her. Liang Guiying reacted quickly and jumped up to fight!
