Chapter 570 "Philanthropy" Mother 5
"An An got into this university on her own. You have no right to handle it for her. If your niece wants to go to university, fine! You don't want her to spend her days in love and just study. Just take the exam herself."
"A teenage girl hangs out with boys every day. I wonder which boy would dare to marry her in the future."
The aunt's skills have been verified in many small worlds, and of course she is no less powerful now. She kept talking so much that the three people from the Zhang family had no chance to interrupt.
It was the youngest Zhang Li who lost his temper first. "This is my family's business, you gossipy women, stop meddling in other people's business."
Not only are they not allowed to meddle in other people's business, but they even dare to call them gossips. If the aunts and grandmas don't scold Zhang Li to the point of becoming autistic, they will have to go back to their mother's womb to be reborn.
"The Zhang family kid is sixteen now, right? He's going to get married in two years. I have to go back and talk to all my aunts and uncles. They have to be careful when choosing a partner for our daughter. Otherwise, if she marries someone like the Zhang family, her life will be ruined."
"Oh, after hearing what you said, I have to go back to my parents' house and have a good talk with them, so that no girl will marry the wrong man and blame me for not reporting it."
Although it is already 1979, the young men and women in the village still look for partners based on the principle of proximity. If they see a girl they like, they will ask a matchmaker to come to their house to mediate. If both parties are interested, they can get married. It is simple and straightforward.
Aunt Zhang knew that reputation was of utmost importance to both men and women, especially for her son. She had to choose the best girl in the surrounding villages to be his match. If these gossipers talked nonsense about her son, wouldn't her son be ruined by them?
"My dear sisters and aunties, Ali is young and ignorant, and he doesn't know how to control his words. It's because I, as his mother, didn't teach him well. You adults should not bear grudges, so don't bother with him."
Aunt Zhang tried to make amends for Zhang Li, but Zhang Li insisted on having his own way.
"What adults and villains? I'm not wrong!"
Zhang Li hates studying the most. In the past few years, he followed HWB and did a lot of immoral things. Now that HWB is gone, he has even less interest in studying. He is stealing and cheating outside every day and doesn't care about his reputation at all.
Besides, what's the point of getting married? If you marry her, she'll have to take care of you. It would be best if no one would look down on her, so she can live a free and easy life.
Aunt Zhang was almost pissed off by him. She knew she couldn't gain any advantage today and didn't want to stay any longer and embarrass herself, so she quickly took her son away, leaving Zhang Meihua alone. She was about to leave when she was stopped again.
"It's not too late to leave after you've explained everything clearly. Do you really want Xiao An to give up his university place?"
Zhang Meihua's face was full of gloom. She glanced at Luo An who was protected by the crowd and could only answer insincerely, "That's not true. Don't listen to what this girl says."
"Really?"
Zhang Meihua shook her head. It was one thing to do it secretly, but if it was really made known to everyone, neither she nor her family would be in a good situation. She knew this.
"Okay! You said it, and we'll all watch. If Xiao An doesn't go to school on the first day of school, we'll have to go to the commune and talk to the leaders."
How can I put it? Everyone in the village loves to take advantage of others, because life is so hard these days.
But this was the first time that a college student came out of the village. Although it was not from their family, everyone would ask about it when they went out to visit relatives. When they heard that it was Luo Changhai's daughter who passed the exam, everyone nodded and said that the girl had a bright future.
Isn't he promising? His father passed away a long time ago, and the children with a mother live a worse life than those without one. Yet he was able to get into university. He is really capable.
If I finish college, maybe I can become a small leader, and maybe one day they will come to me for help. If I don’t make friends with them now, when will I make friends with them?
Do you want to get some small advantages by getting along well with Zhang Meihua?
Forget it! Ever since they got jobs in the city, they have only been back to the village a few times in the past decade or so. Even if there is money to be shared with them, it is pitifully small.
Not worth it!
Facing those serious eyes, Zhang Meihua really didn't know what to say. She had thought that something was a sure thing, but such a big accident happened. She didn't want to stay here any longer.
After glaring at Luo An fiercely, Zhang Meihua fled in embarrassment.
"Xiao An, if your mother dares to bring up this matter again, go find Auntie and she will take care of it for you."
"And me, I just can't stand your mother being such a fool. She doesn't care about her own child but loves someone else's. I wonder if she will regret it when she gets old and no one takes care of her."
"By the way, you've been going to the mountains every day lately. Are you raising money for school?"
Although the Luo family is far from the village CBD and the original owner is a person who goes out early and comes back late, there are still people who know what she has been busy with recently.
"Well, the university provides subsidies, but the travel expenses are still required. Otherwise, I can't even go, let alone go to school."
Luo An deliberately mentioned that there were subsidies for college. The villagers thought that going to school was expensive, and it was too difficult for their rural families to support a college student. Many families let their children drop out of school early. It cannot be said that they are short-sighted. When survival is difficult, we really cannot ask for too much.
“Is there a subsidy for going to school?”
Luo An nodded, "Yes, the teacher said that the government gives college students more than ten yuan every month. If we save a little, it will be enough to spend."
When the aunties and grandmas heard that there was such a benefit in college, they were all excited.
"Oh my! My kid said that even if he gets into college, the family can't afford it. Why not let him work in the fields so he can support the family sooner? He can only earn more than ten yuan a month working in the fields? I'll beat him to death when I get home."
"The country is great! It pays for your college education. You must study hard and make more contributions to the country in the future."
Most people are still concerned about how to get into university. After all, the benefits during school are already so good, what about after graduation? That would be like flying to a tree and becoming a golden phoenix.
"Xiao An, how do you usually learn? Can you teach my Xiao Hua?"
"And my son Erdan is going to be a sophomore in high school. If he studies hard for two years, maybe he can get into university and get a stable job."
The ladies were very enthusiastic. Luo An smiled shyly and said, "Don't worry, auntie. I just happened to have a set of study materials. I just found some time to organize them recently. I will leave them in the village. Anyone who wants to read them can take them and read them."
"real?"
"You didn't lie?"
