In fact, deep down, she always harbored a deep-seated inferiority complex that was difficult to dispel.
Although Xie Yan had told her more than once that his relationship with his family was terrible and that they had even severed ties, her heart still tightened when she heard that Xie Yan was going back to Beijing alone.
She always felt that Xie Yan was like a kite flying high in the sky. Although the string connecting them was in her hand at the moment, she would subconsciously feel fear once the kite flew out of her sight.
This fear was like an invisible shadow, making her afraid that once the kite flew away, it would never fly back to her side.
Xie Yan keenly noticed her emotional change, and upon seeing her reaction, he knew that his wife had fallen into a state of insecurity again.
He gently patted her back, as if soothing a frightened deer, and softly comforted her, "Don't be afraid, wife, I'm just going over there to check the situation first."
“You know, I’ve cut ties with my family now. I don’t have a house there, you could say I have nothing.”
“But I want to take you and Chaochao to the capital next year, so I plan to go there this year to see if there is a suitable house, get one, and tidy it up a bit so that we will have a place to stay when we go back together next year.”
Yu Yue lowered her eyes and asked softly, "Then, then we don't have to go."
Xie Yan held her shoulders, lifted Yu Yuehui's head, stared into her eyes, and said very seriously, "Wife, have you forgotten what I told you before?"
Looking into Xie Yan's deep eyes, Yu Yue instinctively wanted to look away, but feeling the force on her shoulder, she managed to control herself and muttered, "Remember!"
Xie Yan's eyes were very serious. "Do you remember saying you wouldn't go?"
“We will definitely leave Xiliu Village in the future. You got into a university in Beijing, and we are going to take Chaochao to live in Beijing. The educational resources there are very good. Our Chaochao is so smart. Do you want her to be like those girls in the village, just go to school casually and then get married?”
If it were in the past, Yu Yuehui would definitely have nodded in agreement without hesitation.
However, under Xie Yan's relentless and persistent "brainwashing" day after day, her way of thinking has quietly changed and is now very different from before.
She knew that her daughter, Chaochao, was intelligent and gifted, and that given time, she was very likely to make a name for herself in the scientific field and become an outstanding scientist.
Even if Chaochao is not interested in scientific research, with her intelligence, she will surely shine and achieve extraordinary success in any industry she chooses.
She absolutely could not allow Chaochao to be confined to this small stream village, burying such outstanding talent.
Even so, Yu Yuehui's eyes still betrayed her worry. She frowned slightly and stammered, "That, that's a school in the capital! I feel like I have no chance of getting in. Besides, we don't even know when the exam will be held."
Seeing her worried expression, Xie Yan couldn't help but reach out and gently pinch her nose, saying affectionately, "Is this what you meant by remembering? Didn't I tell you before that this is just one of the paths?"
“We have another way out, which is that I open a clinic in the capital. There are many wealthy people in the capital, and those wealthy people are more afraid of illness and death. They are very willing to spend money on this.”
“All the money they spend can go into my pocket. It’s more than enough to support you and Chaochao with the clinic. There are many opportunities in the capital. I’ll look for opportunities to get some land in the suburbs so you can grow crops there.”
"Look, this way we'll still have food, drink, and money." Of course, this was Xie Yan's way of comforting Yu Yue, afraid that she would feel pressured. His goal was for his wife to go to university and get a job, while he would open a hospital nearby.
Farming in Beijing is still not very realistic.
Yu Yuehui's eyes sparkled; she liked this backup plan.
Xie Yan glared at her, looking at her like that. "What are you looking at? This is just a last resort. Our primary goal is for you to get into university."
"Just think about it, you'll get into university and become a college student. Your parents will be so happy, they'll be able to brag about it for the rest of their lives."
"Moreover, if you get into university, choose agronomy. It teaches people how to grow crops, not the way we grow them now, but how to increase crop yields. After you graduate, you will benefit so many people."
“ChaoChao and I can live well in the capital with your help, and you will also have a salary, so we can support ChaoChao’s younger siblings.”
"Haven't you always wanted to give Chaochao a younger brother or sister?"
Yu Yuehui was also very tempted.
But she was still full of worries. Although she had been studying hard during this period, she always felt that she was like someone who came from an "unorthodox" background and could not compare with others because she had not received formal education.
Xie Yan had long noticed his wife's lack of confidence, and while he felt sorry for her, he had also figured out a way to deal with it.
He planned to take her to the junior high school in the commune to take an exam at the end of this semester.
Yu Yue had already completed her junior high school courses. In Xie Yan's opinion, she had learned very thoroughly, understanding and mastering every knowledge point.
However, Yu Yuehui always felt that Xie Yan's praise of her was biased and unfair, as if it was exaggerated and meant to encourage her.
Therefore, Xie Yan decided to let her take a test, a test on junior high school level content, so that she could truly feel her real level, let the facts dispel her inner doubts, and rebuild her confidence.
No amount of words can be as convincing as the facts of practice.
He could also take the high school entrance exam, and then build a good relationship with the principal so that Yu Yuehui could study at home and take an exam at the end of each semester. That way, when the college entrance exam is reinstated, Yu Yuehui will be qualified to take the exam.
However, Xie Yan had been carefully keeping this matter from Yu Yue. He knew that if he revealed the plan to Yu Yue too early, given her personality, she would definitely become anxious and uneasy.
Rather than letting her suffer from anxiety for a long time, it's better to tell her closer to the end. Although she will still be anxious then, the feeling of being anxious for two days is very different from being anxious for a whole month.
At this moment, Xie Yan noticed that Yu Yuehui next to him seemed to be lost in thought, her eyes vacant, clearly daydreaming.
He gently reached out and turned Yu Yuehui's face towards him, making her look into his eyes, and said earnestly, "You need to know that all our plans have one crucial premise, which is that we must own a house in the capital."
"Once we have a house, we can go back to Beijing and dispel all the rumors and gossip outside."
