Not all of the thirteen thousand could be used as capital. Ling Shuang took out five thousand, two thousand of which would be living expenses for the mother and daughter for the next month. The remaining three thousand was for Hu Guile to enroll in two interest classes, making sure to fill her free time in the next two months so that she wouldn't have the energy to think about other things.
After breakfast the next day, the mother and daughter, both covered in scars but full of energy, seriously discussed the short-term plans for the next six months.
Ling Shuang said to Hu Guile, "My daughter, the most important thing for our family right now is your studies. It's already late March, and in three or four months, summer vacation will be here. I'm thinking of putting you in the first year of high school when school starts on September 1st, but I'm worried you won't be able to keep up. You only studied for a little over a month in the second half of junior high school, and I'm not sure how well you've mastered the knowledge."
Hu Guile listened carefully to Ling Shuang's words. During the more than one year of suspension from school, she had been studying on her own. She had almost torn all those junior high school textbooks into pieces. Diligence can make up for lack of talent, and she has always been smarter than ordinary people.
"Mom, it's okay to go straight to high school, but there's still a difference between a good high school and an ordinary high school."
Ling Shuang nodded, agreeing with her. "That's right. Give Mom some time. I will earn enough money for your tuition and school selection fees before school starts. Don't worry."
But Hu Guile didn't mean that: "Mom, I don't want you to spend this school selection fee, it's too expensive."
Hu Guile didn't wait for Ling Shuang to object and continued, "I know my level. I am confident that I can be admitted to any key high school in K City. If I can get in on my own and rank in the top ten in the city, I can convince the school to waive my tuition.
The school selection fee and tuition fees are both quite a lot of money. It’s not easy for you to earn money, Mom. I can solve the problem of schooling by myself.”
Ling Shuang was surprised: "Then tell Mom, do you have a specific plan?"
Hu Guile smiled slyly, "Mom, give me fifty yuan for transportation. I'll find a school and ask them to help me register for the city's high school entrance exam. I can't guarantee that I'll be the top scorer, but the knowledge in junior high school is too simple. I've done all the high school entrance exam questions in recent years, so it's not difficult at all. When the time comes, I'll get you into a key city school, the kind that even gives you a scholarship. We'll cover the tuition fees and school selection fees."
Hu Guile seemed confident, and Ling Shuang was willing to give her the child her trust and a chance. What was wrong with letting her give it a try? Even if she didn't succeed, the worst that could happen was that she could just go back to her original plan and pay for her enrollment.
She really handed the matter over to her daughter, generously gave her 500 yuan in "activity funds", and let her handle it on her own.
Facts have proved that a pearl will never be covered in dust. In less than a week, Hu Guile won the olive branches extended by four junior high schools. Without exception, these four junior high schools were backward schools. Most of the graduates in previous years went to vocational high schools, and only a few were admitted to ordinary high schools, let alone key high schools.
Hu Guile speaks with her own strength. As long as the school opens its doors and is willing to give her a chance, no matter what test paper they give her, she can answer them all quickly and well. The school thinks that her statement of confidence in getting among the top ten in the city in the high school entrance examination is completely modest. With this result, it is not a dream for her to get into the top three.
All four junior high schools agreed to accept her academic record and welcomed her to take the high school entrance examination at their school. Two of the junior high schools even promised high rewards. If she chose one of these two, Hu Guile felt that her tuition and living expenses for three years of high school would be taken care of.
In the end, she chose the private school with the most generous policies and the most generous rewards. The school not only agreed to her unreasonable request of not attending classes at the school and directly taking the high school entrance examination, but also promised that if she ranked in the top 100 in the city, she would be rewarded with 5,000 yuan in cash. The reward was also progressive, with an additional 100 yuan for each place she advanced. If she ranked in the top 10, she would be directly rewarded with 20,000 yuan, the top 30 would be rewarded with 30,000 yuan, and the top scorer would be rewarded with 50,000 yuan.
The principal and grade director said enthusiastically and excitedly: The school's recruitment advertising next year depends on you!
Ling Shuang was a little surprised when she heard this. This child didn't need the Space-Time Administration to send someone to rescue her. As long as she was given a normal and healthy living environment, she could cultivate wings by herself, and when the time was right, she could fly into the sky at any time.
It was such a pity in my previous life.
So miserable!
This mother and daughter were really harmed by the beast Wang Jiangang in their previous life. After Hu Guile came to K City, he studied in a middle school for children of migrant workers for a period of time. Although the school's teachers and hardware were not very good, the child herself was smart and studious. If she persisted in studying, she might be able to go on to higher education.
But Zhao Yaping's remarriage was too hasty. Less than a year after she emerged from one whirlpool, she jumped into another swamp impatiently, and also affected her daughter's life.
So sisters, you must keep your eyes open before getting married. Don’t be like Zhao Yaping, who was introduced to someone and walked into the grave of marriage less than two months after knowing each other. Although the other party was not young and looked decent, he was a Zhongshan wolf. He showed his fangs less than a month after getting the marriage certificate.
He took all of Zhao Yaping's savings on the grounds that the education level of migrant workers' children in middle schools was low and he wanted to transfer his stepdaughter to a key district-level junior high school. He also immediately expelled Hu Guile from school.
After dropping out, the new school became like a flower in the mirror, a moon in the water—visible but intangible. Hu Guile stopped studying for over a year. But he didn't let go of Zhao Yaping's salary. She said, "The money isn't enough. Give me your salary every month. When you save enough, your child can go to the district's key school."
So the silly woman willingly handed over her salary every month, leaving the mother and daughter unable to even decide how to spend money on sanitary napkins. But Zhao Yaping thought the man was right. Besides, the man didn't gamble or visit prostitutes, he just loved drinking. Although he couldn't control his temper when he was drunk, and he was a bit rough with his hands...
Hu Guile had urged Zhao Yaping to break up with him the first time he made a move, but Zhao Yaping felt that men didn't always drink, and that he had apologized to her tearfully after sobering up, so he wasn't a bad person. She refused to divorce.
Facts have proven that domestic violence will happen again once it happens. There is no limit to the shamelessness of such men.
If Ling Shuang had not come this time, that night of torrential rain and thunder would have been a lifelong purgatory for the mother and daughter.
