"Isn't it true? If you don't believe me, just ask Yaqin!"
Lin Xue nodded affirmatively. She was still thinking about going to university. How could she become self-taught without some talent?
"Third brother's wife, if what you said is true, then your talent for learning is quite remarkable!"
Grandma Wang sighed to herself, thinking that if this girl had been born into her family, where every child would have the opportunity to go to school, she might actually be a college-going talent.
It's such a pity that such a bright little girl was born into the Lin family, a degenerate household that favors sons over daughters and exploits their daughters.
Although the Wang family also favors their sons a bit more, every child has the opportunity to go to school.
As long as the child is willing to study and has the talent, the adults are willing to support the child's education for several years, even if it is a bit hard and tiring.
Although not every child likes going to school, at least every child persevered until graduating from primary school.
Currently, only Wang Yaqin is still in junior high school; the other children are either in elementary school or too young to start school.
"Mother, I have an idea, but I don't know if I should say it!"
Seeing the old lady's shocked and regretful expression, Lin Xue felt it was time to express her thoughts.
"What's there to hide from your mother? Tell me quickly!"
Seeing Lin Xue approaching mysteriously, Old Mrs. Wang was curious about what she wanted to say.
"Mom, my child is in fifth grade and will be taking the graduation exam soon. Do you think the principal would allow me to go to school to take the exam?"
Lin Xue feigned embarrassment and stammered out her thoughts.
"Third son's wife, are you thinking of taking the elementary school graduation exam? That's a great thing, but are you sure you can pass?"
Old Mrs. Wang had lived with Old Mr. Wang for decades and had long been completely brainwashed by him.
I have always been in favor of children wanting to learn.
Although her third daughter-in-law is quite old, no one says that older people can't study.
"I had Yaqin give me a test paper a couple of days ago, and she said I did better on the test than she did in elementary school!"
Lin Xue didn't say anything else, but turned around and went into the house to take out the two test papers that Wang Yaqin had given her.
"Third son's wife, does this test paper say 100?"
Is it written correctly?
OK?
Grandma Wang couldn't tell.
However, looking at the neat handwriting on the test paper and the bright red 100 at the beginning, Grandma Wang felt her hands trembling.
"Yes, I did pretty well in math, I got 100, but my Chinese was a bit weak!"
Lin Xue then pulled up the next test paper and pointed it out to Old Mrs. Wang.
"Snowy, is this 99?"
When Lin Xue said that she was a little bad at Chinese, Grandma Wang was thinking to herself, "Could it be that she didn't do well on the Chinese test?"
But when she saw those bright red numbers, she felt that this world was surreal.
She remembered that her third daughter-in-law had never attended school, except for a literacy class that lasted for about half a year.
She studied with her daughter Yaqin for a while, and that's how she got such a good score?
"Yes, Mom, I only got 99 points on my Chinese test! I'm so sorry!"
"However, Yaqin told me that the Chinese teacher usually deducts some points from the reading comprehension and composition section, so she symbolically deducted one point from my composition!"
Lin Xue shyly recounted to Old Mrs. Wang what Wang Yaqin had said to her when she received the test paper.
"Oh my god, this is terrible! It's the third brother's wife!"
"The Lin family has really let you down!"
Grandma Wang patted her thigh with a hint of heartache.
His third daughter-in-law, if she were in ancient times, she would be a top scholar.
Otherwise, why haven't she heard of other people getting 100 points or 99 points by self-study, even though they only lost one point?
She remembered that Yaqin, the best student in her Wang family, also scored over 80 points on tests.
That was the result of paying for her to go to school and receiving careful instruction from her teachers.
Surely her daughter Yaqin isn't teaching better than the teacher?
For a moment, Old Mrs. Wang felt a mix of emotions.
"Mom, do you think it's okay if I take the elementary school graduation exam?"
Seeing that things had gone on for a while, Lin Xue immediately brought up the previous question again.
"Sure, why not!"
"I'll go find your second uncle later and ask him to give you a letter of introduction. You can take the letter to the elementary school principal and take the exam this time!"
"The leaders are encouraging us ordinary people to attend literacy classes. These golden phoenixes that have flown out of literacy classes have no reason to be stopped from taking the exam!"
Grandma Wang felt she had really made a name for herself today.
She stopped cleaning the mushrooms, grabbed the two test papers from Lin Xue's hand, and hurriedly left the yard.
"Third brother's wife, you can cook dinner yourself. I'm going to talk to your second uncle about something!"
Watching her mother-in-law's hurried figure, Lin Xue felt that the matter was mostly settled.
After Grandma Wang left, Lin Xue focused on cooking at home and taking care of her two children.
Wang Yaqin arrived late, just as the food was ready.
"Third Aunt, I'm so sorry, the teachers at school kept us late today, so I got out of school a little late!"
As soon as Wang Yaqin entered the courtyard, she loudly apologized to Lin Xue.
"What's the big deal? I was just worried about your safety on the road. Now that you're back, go wash your hands and eat!"
