Wang Xiaolan asked, "What's the matter? What makes you so angry?"
She said angrily, "You don't know, they almost sold my admission letter for another 200 yuan. Luckily, my neighbor's aunt told me. When I got home, the young girl was happily leaving with my letter. I rushed over and snatched it back from her."
Wang Shanhu, with a puzzled look on her face, said, "Is there such a thing? The person who can afford this must be from an extraordinary family. They are so bold!"
Zhou Bihua said, "What can't these people do? I don't know how much hardship I went through to get into this university. I endured countless days and nights to finally get in. I can't just let this vampire sell me out like this. My husband threatened me with divorce, but I said, 'Why divorce? We're not even registered. You forced me to do it.'"
"Fortunately, I was lucky. The father of one of the educated youth who went to the countryside with me was a policeman. He felt sorry for me and stood up to help me. With his father's help, I successfully broke off my relationship with that family."
"I took away all the furniture I made at that house, and gave away anything I couldn't carry... So I couldn't bear to give away this jar of fermented tofu, so I brought it to school. This way I could save some money on food."
Wang Xiaolan asked, "What about your daughter?"
Zhou Bihua said, "My daughter's family doesn't want her, so I'll place her in my parents' home. I've already promised them that I'll save some of the school subsidy and send it back home. After all, the child is still young and can't eat much."
Wang Xiaolan said, "This isn't enough! It won't be a big deal in the long run."
Zhou Bihua said: "There is no other way. I can only take it one step at a time. When the time comes, I will use my free time to work."
Wang Xiaolan said, "Sister Zhou, you have the skill to make stinky fermented tofu. Why don't you make this and sell it at the entrance of our school cafeteria? It's much better than working part-time."
Zhou Bihua said: "But there is no place to sit here!"
Wang Xiaolan said, "There's no problem with the location. I'll find a way for you."
Zhou Bihua was very happy when he heard this and said, "Okay, I'll leave it to you."
While they were talking, nine of the ten freshmen in the dormitory arrived, and one, named Chen Min, had not arrived yet.
Except for these three, the other six were fresh graduates, four or five years younger than them.
Wang Shanhu and Zhou Bihua invited Wang Xiaolan to go out for a walk and familiarize herself with the school environment.
Wang Xiaolan said, "You guys go out! Tomorrow is the opening ceremony, and I have to prepare a speech."
Zhou Bihua and Wang Shanhu said, "Okay, take your time and write!"
At this moment, the originally bustling dormitory suddenly became extremely quiet, because the other roommates had left the room one after another, leaving Wang Xiaolan alone sitting at the desk, concentrating on writing her speech.
However, this tranquility was broken by a loud bang as the dormitory door opened. The sudden noise made Wang Xiaolan, who was immersed in her writing, shudder all over and almost drop the pen in her hand.
Her heart was filled with confusion and surprise: Who on earth had so rudely barged into the dormitory? She raised her head in astonishment and cast her eyes towards the door.
A young lady dressed in gorgeous clothes and very elegantly dressed stood there, her delicate makeup and carefully combed hair showing that she paid great attention to her image.
Behind the girl followed a middle-aged woman with a serious face. She frowned slightly and seemed dissatisfied with the situation.
The girl complained with a hint of anger: "Mom, look, there is clearly someone in here! We have been knocking on the door for such a long time, why doesn't anyone come out to answer? This is too outrageous!" As she spoke, she pouted angrily, her face full of displeasure.
At the same time, Wang Xiaolan knew in her heart that this person was Chen Min, the one everyone had been waiting for but had yet to show up. Seeing Chen Min so arrogant and willful, Wang Xiaolan couldn't help but shake her head secretly, thinking that this person was really not easy to deal with.
The conversation between the mother and daughter made Wang Xiaolan very unhappy. She glanced at them and said coldly, "Don't you have the key?" Then she lowered her head to write her speech.
Chen Min stood at the door, hesitant to come in. Frowning, she said to the middle-aged woman beside her with a look of disgust, "Mom, look at all these people in one room! The smell in here is so awful! How can anyone live here? I'm even assigned the top bunk, and I'm afraid of heights. Why don't you talk to the principal and see if they have any single rooms?"
The middle-aged woman said, "Xiao Min, student dormitories generally don't have single rooms. I heard there are only ten people living in your dormitory, and there are more people living in other dormitories. Just be patient and live here for a semester!"
Chen Min said unhappily, "Then I'll just live at home and have Dad's driver pick me up every day."
Chen's mother said, "Minmin, you've just arrived at the school. Keep a low profile. Your father has gone through a lot of trouble to get you here, don't you know?" Then she gently pushed her and said, "Go in! Don't keep your father's driver waiting too long."
Wang Xiaolan kept her head down, her pen dancing incessantly, as if the entire world consisted only of her and the paper before her. She was so engrossed in her writing that she didn't even look up at the mother and daughter.
However, despite this, the conversation between the mother and daughter seemed to have wings and flew straight into her ears.
After hearing those words, Wang Xiaolan couldn't help but mutter to herself: "Oh my God, these words contain so much information! Who is this person? Isn't the college entrance examination the result of her own hard work? It turned out that her father had put in so much effort. Could it be that she is..."
At this moment, she thought of Chen Xiaomei, her university roommate in the future. She had used improper means to replace someone else to go to university. She didn't expect to meet such a person again in this life. How abominable.
Wang Xiaolan didn't know when this strange mother and daughter became quiet. She felt very strange and looked up. Unexpectedly, the middle-aged woman was standing in front of her, staring straight at the manuscript paper Wang Xiaolan was writing.
Seeing her like this, Wang Xiaolan stood up from her seat and said, "You, you..."
This action startled Chen's mother. She coughed, cleared her throat, and said, "My dear classmate, I didn't mean to interrupt you while you were writing. I just wanted to ask you something, but seeing how serious you were, I felt embarrassed to bother you, so..."
Wang Xiaolan put the manuscript into the drawer and put away her pen. She said with a serious face, "What's the matter? Tell me!"
Mother Chen asked, "Classmate, I want to discuss something with you?"
