Chapter 273 Back on Track
When Boss Cheng came back, Su Sanmei pulled him into the house. In her haste, she didn't notice that there was someone following them.
"What's the matter? You look so panicked."
Although Boss Cheng was a son-in-law, he was a good man and he coaxed the son born to Su Sanmei to take his surname.
"You're still smiling at me, but something went wrong!"
"Hasn't the money from Cheng Shuang's case been paid? How can you not be at ease with what our son is doing?
That family is not an ordinary family. Just a stomp of their feet is enough to make us drink half a pot of wine.
With my lame, dying brother and that little girl Cheng Shuang, there's absolutely no way we can beat them."
What Boss Cheng said was a bit harsh. He had never liked his younger brother Cheng Hai, who was good at studying, since they were young.
Why did my younger brother become a scholar, marry a teacher's daughter, get a decent job in the city, and settle down?
And he can only dig for food in the fields all his life. Is this fair?
Su Sanmei still felt a little uneasy: "But the marriage with the Fan family can't be kept secret from the second family forever?"
"That girl Cheng Shuang is so selfish, and she still dreams of going to college. She's really getting too cocky.
The second son’s health seems to be failing him by the end of the year, so he should marry her off quickly.
It is reasonable for us to help out with those two rooms as uncle and aunt."
Boss Cheng never mentioned his envy. If his son had not failed the physical examination due to health reasons, the opportunity to go to college would not have been given to someone else.
But when I think about the extra six hundred dollars in my pocket, it's worth it.
He was thinking of using the money to find a way to get his eldest brother a job in an office at a post office, which would be respectable and comfortable.
By then, the Cheng family will be on the rise again in the village. It’s a wonderful thought.
"You've thought it through. Okay, let's do it!
I need to find a time to talk to Cheng Shuang about the Sanbengzi thing..."
Before he could finish his words, he heard a bang from outside the door.
I quickly opened the door and saw soup spilled all over the floor, and a figure running back not far away.
The two of them widened their eyes and thought: Something bad has happened!
Cheng Shuang never thought that she would hear such a big secret just because she came to deliver something.
It turned out that she really was admitted to university, but her admission letter was sold by someone.
The culprit turned out to be her father's brother and her own uncle.
In order to keep the secret from her for the rest of her life, the couple was still planning to marry her off.
She said that recently she sometimes felt someone was watching her in the dark, and it turned out that they were there to look at the goods.
How ironic.
When her father was in the hospital, he borrowed five dollars from her aunt, and then he immediately returned it when he was discharged from the hospital and returned home.
She didn't know how she ran back. She fell and got up again. Her knees and wrists were bruised and bleeding, and her face was covered in mud.
"Daughter, what's wrong with you? What happened? Tell Dad, don't keep it to yourself."
Cheng Hai saw this in the inner room, struggled to sit up, and looked worried.
Cheng Shuang burst into tears and knelt at the head of her father's bed, crying loudly.
After calming down, he slowly told what he had just heard in front of his uncle's house.
"This beast! Is he still a human being?"
Cheng Hai's blood rushed to his head after hearing this. He held his daughter's hand and relaxed for a long time before speaking:
"Daughter, Dad will go with you to the school to explain everything clearly. How can your university place be taken by someone else?"
"Dad, don't worry. I'll take the bus to the city tomorrow."
There is only one bus from home to the city per day. I can't catch it today, so I can only go early tomorrow morning.
Cheng Shuang thought to himself that he would first report to the police, then go to the school to find out, or else go to the newspaper office to place an advertisement.
"My daughter, go ahead and do it. Take this little money."
Cheng Hai took out a stack of crumpled change from the bedside and stuffed it into Cheng's palms.
Although he was bedridden, when he was still in good health, he wrote some articles and submitted them to newspapers, and saved dozens of dollars.
"Dad, I know. Don't worry, I won't do anything rash."
Cheng Shuang's eyes were filled with tears again, his nose felt sore, and he nodded.
She also wants to study hard in college and make a lot of money to treat her father's illness in the future.
Living in the valley, I go to the back mountain to dig some herbs from time to time. If I save enough, I can take them to the city and exchange them for some money.
She can earn her own tuition fees. Besides, she heard from her neighbor Cherry Sister that the government also gives money for college education.
A small house is enough for the two of them, and she is her father's crutch.
…
The next morning, as soon as it was light, Cheng Shuang got up, tidied the house, and quietly went out with his household registration book.
When passing by the village entrance, Cai Baba came out to relieve herself and saw it. She tightened her belt and was a little puzzled.
"What is this girl doing up so early?"
When the wind blew, the cold air came in through the trouser legs. He shrank his neck and quickly slipped back into the house.
Cheng Shuang took the bus for more than two hours and finally arrived in the city.
I went to school first, looked up at the tall school gate, and felt longing.
She should have been sitting here, studying, thinking, graduating.
There was a surge of strength in my chest.
She turned around and went to the nearby police station to report the incident. The door was still closed, so she squatted at the door and waited.
"Comrade, are you here?"
Cheng's legs were numb from squatting, so he stood up and looked sideways when he heard a sound.
"Comrade Public Security, I'm here to report the incident..."
…
"What's wrong with Cheng Shuang? He's not in class every day and doesn't even do his homework!"
The counselor looked at the attendance book showing an impressive record of 0 attendance for a week and became furious.
He was directly criticized for this matter at the college meeting today. He had originally thought that he could build a good relationship with the leaders and maybe be able to transfer to a teaching position in the future, but now all his plans have gone down the drain.
Just as I was about to run to ask the squad leader, I saw him rushing in.
"Teacher, something happened, the police are here."
"What?"
"There's a woman outside who claims she's 'Cheng Shuang'! She even brought her household registration book with her. The one in our class is really a fake."
The counselor's eyes went dark. Such a big thing was hidden in his class.
"Hurry up and call Cheng Shuang from our class over here!"
The squad leader turned around and left, but suddenly thought of something.
"Teacher, she hasn't been in the dormitory since last week, and her roommates haven't seen her."
The class monitor happened to live in the dormitory next door, and during morning class this morning, he heard the students in the next dormitory complaining about this matter.
"What? Didn't they run away?"
There was a knock on the door, and Cheng Shuang followed the police in, holding the household registration booklet tightly in his hand, feeling a little uneasy.
A group of students followed behind to watch the fun, and He Cuicui was among them.
The school leaders also rushed over after hearing the news, after all, it was not a small matter.
Cheng Shuang remained calm, she felt that the school would not let her down.
…
"Su Sanmei, why are you still here? Your husband has been arrested by the police!"
Cai Gossip ran over happily, shouting at the top of her voice without holding back at all.
Those who should hear it and those who shouldn't hear it all heard it anyway.
She had just witnessed this scene with her own eyes and rushed over to report the news without stopping.
"What?"
Su Sanmei's body swayed, and she didn't bother to chat with Fan Qigu anymore, and ran towards the village entrance.
The quiet Huaihuagou was in an uproar, with all kinds of rumors, but none of them were good.
…
After proving his identity, Cheng Shuang also took a set of test papers given by his teacher.
“This is the level of our school’s students!”
Finally, in the spring of April, Cheng Shuang received the belated admission letter and started his college life.
In addition to the monthly scholarship given by the school, she also works part-time at school.
After saving some money, Cheng Hai rented a small house near the school and moved in.
Perhaps it is because people are in high spirits when good things happen, and Dad Cheng's health is also improving.
As for Boss Cheng, he was arrested and when he was released, his tailbone was broken and he was paralyzed in bed.
His beloved son's job also failed, so he had no choice but to marry into the family to make a living.
The society has also begun to rectify the chaos, and when radishes are pulled out, mud will be brought out.
Wei Chunsheng was kicked out of his seat not long after he sat there, and Hao Li and Qin Weihong, mother and daughter, disappeared.
