Yun Mo rolled her eyes at the other person and said, "My dad is my dad, and my mom is my mom. My mom has her own factory now, and the money she earns is enough to support herself. She doesn't need to rely on anyone."
Peng Fang was a rural woman with no education, and she simply could not understand the idea of female independence expressed by Yun Mo.
"Yun Mo, women have had to rely on men since ancient times. When they are young, they rely on their husbands, and when they are old, they rely on their sons. Your mother only has you as a daughter, and you are married. In two years, when you have your own children, your mother will be left alone. Do you have the heart to watch her die alone and helpless?"
"My second aunt is worrying too much. As long as I live, my mother will not be alone in her old age. Not only can I let her enjoy her old age, but I will also take care of her until the end of her life."
Peng Fang felt jealous when she heard this. With her niece's ability, she knew she could definitely do what she said. As a mother, who wouldn't want to have a daughter as capable, talented and caring as Yun Mo?
But her two sons are not bad either. The eldest son can earn money and the younger son is good at studying. They will definitely have a bright future. Her old age will definitely be better than Huang Zhiqiu's.
Thinking of this, Peng Fang felt much better.
Unable to gain any advantage, nor to find out any information about Yun Mo's biological father, Peng Fang and his family of three had to return empty-handed.
"No wonder you were so happy to borrow money yesterday. It turns out you have a rich father! If I had known, I should have borrowed more yesterday."
At the dinner table, Huang Wen couldn't help but say, "No matter how much you borrow, you still have to pay it back."
Peng Fang pouted indifferently, "I didn't say I wouldn't return it, but I didn't say when I would return it. Besides, if I don't return it, can she still eat me?"
Huang Wen said speechlessly: "I wrote the IOU, of course you can ignore it."
Huang Jianguo looked at his son, "Xiao Wen, does this IOU have any impact on you?"
"The IOU is legally binding. If I keep refusing to pay it back, they can sue me in court, and I will have to pay back the principal and interest, which may even affect my work and future."
Upon hearing this, Peng Fang immediately said, "No, Xiaowen, you can't write this IOU! Jianguo, you write it. You are her elder, so she won't dare to do anything to you even if you don't pay back the money."
Huang Wen looked at his mother with sarcasm on his face, "Yun Mo has read as much as you have, do you think she can't see through your calculations? She asked me to write an IOU because she was sure that I wouldn't dare not pay it back in the future."
Peng Fang was so angry that she slammed the table and smashed her chopsticks. "I knew she wasn't that kind. It turns out she had dug a trap for us to fall into!"
"Mom, apart from my aunt and Yun Mo, we don't have any relatives who can lend me so much money for my studies, so don't even think about it. I will pay back the debt I owe in the future, so you don't have to worry about it."
Peng Fang glared at her youngest son in dissatisfaction. "It's easy for you to say that. Tuition, accommodation, and living expenses will cost at least four or five hundred yuan a year. That's two thousand yuan in four years. When will you be able to pay it off?"
As she spoke, Peng Fang could not help but complain to her youngest son, "If only you could get a few more points, it would be great. Your class teacher said that if you get more than 505 points, you can get free tuition and accommodation, and you only need to worry about your own food. You can save at least 300 yuan a year, which is 1,200 yuan in four years. 1,200 yuan is enough to build two new houses for your brother. You are still not motivated enough. Ren Yunmo got 666 points, how come you only got 499? It would be great if I could give you some of her points..."
Peng Fang kept chattering on and on, and Huang Wen became annoyed. He put down his bowl and chopsticks, said "I'm full", and went back to his room.
Peng Fang looked at her youngest son's bowl, which still had half of the rice left, and shouted, "You haven't even finished your meal!"
What responded to Peng Fang was the sound of a door closing with a bang.
Peng Fang also got angry. She put her hands on her hips and yelled at her youngest son, "Don't bully me. If you have the ability, try to get into Beijing University! I raised you with so much hard work, provided you with food, drink and education, and now I can't say a few words to you?"
Huang Jianguo was annoyed by his wife's nagging and couldn't help but say, "Okay, stop talking. Xiaowen got the first place in the class. What else are you not satisfied with?"
Peng Fang said angrily, "What's the point of being the top student in the class? Yun Mo scored 666 points and is the top student in the province! Not only does she not have to pay tuition, she even got a bonus! If Xiao Wen works harder and tries harder during the exams, we won't have to worry about his tuition."
Huang Jianjun was so surprised when he heard this, "Oh my god, what's wrong with Yun Mo's little brain? How could she get such a good score in the exam?"
Peng Fang glared at her husband. "A dragon gives birth to a dragon, and a phoenix gives birth to a phoenix. A mouse's son will dig holes. You and Huang Zhiqiu have the same parents. He was able to read since he was young and graduated from junior high school in one go. But you are as dumb as a pig. You can't learn even if you are asked to."
Regardless of seniority or gender, it should be the brothers Huang Jianjun and Huang Jianguo who go to school.
Unfortunately, the two brothers were not good at studying, so they went home after just one year.
Huang Zhiqiu is different.
Huang Zhiqiu was a natural student. He finished elementary school easily and went on to junior high school.
If the conditions at that time had not allowed it, Huang Zhiqiu would have been able to go all the way to university.
Huang Wen lay on the bed, looking at the beams covered with cobwebs and dust, feeling extremely depressed.
In the entire Xiacun, there are only three college students including him, and the other two are in junior college, but he managed to get into a first-tier university.
Originally, he was the pride of the entire Xiacun people and a young talent praised by everyone.
But Yunmo, the cousin who showed up out of nowhere, easily destroyed all his efforts and honors.
666 points was a height he never even dared to imagine.
Inferiority, annoyance, and frustration were like layers of spider webs on the beams of the house, binding him tightly and making it difficult for him to breathe.
"Repeat a grade?! Xiaowen, are you crazy? No, I don't agree!"
When Peng Fang heard her youngest son express the idea of repeating a grade, she sternly rejected it without even thinking.
Huang Wen rarely showed the stubbornness and perseverance of a teenager. "I have made up my mind. If I repeat a year, even if my score improves by only 10 points, I can save more than 1,000 yuan in tuition."
After listening to his youngest son's words, Huang Jianguo was somewhat moved.
One thousand yuan! They have to work for several years to earn one thousand yuan.
Peng Fang thought differently. Although she expressed dissatisfaction with her son's score of 499, she knew in her heart that it was not easy for her son to score 499, because this was the highest score he had ever received since he entered the senior year of high school.
"What if you repeat a year and fail the exam next year? No, you can't repeat a year. Your father and I will find a way to pay for the tuition. At the end of the month, you can pack your luggage and go to the city to study at university!"
Huang Wen didn't listen to Peng Fang and ran directly to Huang's house in the dark to find Yun Mo.
Yun Mo had just finished dinner and was discussing the design of the new courtyard with Zeng Fang and others.
"Cousin Xiaowen, do you have something to talk to me about?"
Yun Mo had no ill feelings towards the silent and introverted Huang Wen, and her tone was quite polite.
"I don't want to borrow money anymore. I want to repeat my studies."
Yun Mo was still a little surprised when she heard Huang Wen's idea of repeating a grade.
"Yun Mo, I know there is a special college entrance examination review class in the city. I want to go to the review class in the city. Can you help me?"
