Lan Wei and the five-year-old Lan Mao in his arms had the same confused expression as before. They stared at the scene in amazement, and for a moment they wondered if they had not woken up yet, or if it was red raining from the sky and they were hallucinating?
Fang Yinan recovered her strength and got up from the ground. She looked at Lan Yaowu with bloodshot eyes and quickly hugged Lan Shuang's waist from behind. "Ah ...
The sharp voice almost pierced Lan Shuang's eardrum.
She threw away the towel in her hand in disgust, pulled Fang Yinan's hand away and pushed him away. "When he beat me, why didn't you say I was his daughter? When you helped him beat me, why didn't you say you were my mother? What kind of mother or father would treat their own daughter like this? What do I owe you?"
Fang Yinan stared at her in a daze, speechless. Lan Yaowu was beaten so badly that he felt no pain anywhere on his body. He didn't dare to shout at this moment. He stood aside with his tail between his legs, touching his wounds.
Lan Wei looked at this and then that, and finally looked at Lan Shuang.
Lan Shuang glanced at him, and he shuddered, "Sister, I didn't say anything!"
This time she has learned her lesson and knows to call me sister.
It can be seen that jade cannot be made into a useful object without being carved, and people cannot become honest without being beaten.
This family is like a spring. When you are weak, they are strong. When you are strong, they are weak.
Lan Shuang shook her sore wrist and said, "Can you cook for yourself now? Or I can cook, but I can't guarantee that there won't be rat poison or paraquat in it."
Hearing this, Fang Yinan looked at her in disbelief and fear. Lan Yaowu no longer cared about the pain and said awkwardly, "You are such a jerk. If you don't want to do it, can't you just say it nicely? You have to make things so awkward."
Lan Shuang glanced at him, and he quickly turned around. "Okay, okay, let's do it ourselves. We've been working in the fields for a long time and are exhausted. We can't even have a hot meal..."
He went out to get firewood, muttering to himself.
Lan Shuang went out directly.
Fang Yinan took a while to come back to his senses. He patted his chest with lingering fear, "Did he take the wrong medicine? Why are you crazy?"
Lan Wei hesitated to speak, and finally carried his brother back to the house.
Lan Shuang had just walked to the gate of the yard when she saw someone running over hurriedly, "Hey, Xiao Shuang, are your parents home?"
Lan Shuang looked at the aunt in front of her, whose eyes were full of unconcealable pride.
"Xiao Baba, does this person have a grudge against the Lan family?"
888: "Host, this person is Aunt Wang next door. She has a son who is a classmate of Lan Wei. They took the high school entrance exam together this year. I guess the results are out now."
"Oh, children of the same age are always comparing themselves to each other. I guess Lan Wei didn't do very well in the exam."
Lan Shuang said to Aunt Wang, "Yes, please come in."
"Oh, okay."
However, Aunt Wang went in and Lan Shuang went out.
She looked at Lan Shuang in confusion; "Xiao Shuang, where are you going?"
"I'm going out for a walk."
Aunt Wang didn't think much of it. A cheerful expression returned to her face as she quickly walked towards the yard. "Lan Yaowu, why are you still working here? The high school entrance exam results are out!"
"What?" Lan Yaowu, who had been sitting by the stove, leaned over to look over. "What do you mean by results? Didn't Lan Shuang's results come out a long time ago?"
"It's not Lan Shuang, it's the high school entrance exam, your Lan Wei!"
"What?!" Fang Yinan put down the rice pot in her hand, wiped her hands in the crowd, walked out, stood on the steps and asked: "How did you know?"
"Nonsense, I've checked everything." Aunt Wang's eyes were filled with undisguised pride. "Oh, I don't know what kind of luck my son had this time. He scored over 600 points, and he's secured a place in a key high school in the city."
Fang Yinan's face twitched for a moment when she heard this, and she squeezed out a sentence from between her teeth: "Congratulations."
"Oh, it was just a passing encounter. How about you? How's your family?"
"We haven't checked yet." Fang Yinan looked at Lan Yaowu. "Old Lan, what are you waiting for? Why don't you let Xiao Wei check it out? This is a big deal!"
"Oh, okay."
Lan Yaowu hurried into the house and took out his cell phone. "Here, let's check the results. You still remember how to check them, right?"
Lan Wei was surprised: "It came out so soon?"
"How can it not be fast? We don't have that many students here."
"Are you sure, kid? Aunt Wang next door even came here to brag, saying her son has a good shot at getting into a key high school. What about you?"
Lan Wei hesitated and said, "Let's check first."
Fang Yinan also came in and stood aside waiting nervously.
Aunt Wang didn't feel embarrassed when she saw that no one was there to entertain her. She found a small stool under the window and sat down.
After the call was connected, Lan Wei quickly checked his grades. He took out a pen and used his legs as paper to write down his scores for each subject. His face turned paler with each subject he wrote.
The final total score was only 621, which was not enough to get into a key high school.
He was unable to put pen to paper, and after the call ended, he stared blankly at his scores in various subjects.
"Tsk, how many points is it?"
"Why don't you speak?"
Lan Yaowu was so anxious, "Tell me quickly, how many points did you get?"
Lan Wei's lips moved with difficulty and he whispered, "Six hundred and twenty-one."
"How many?"
Fang Yinan was shocked, and Lan Wei repeated it with a pale face.
As soon as the words fell, the room fell into dead silence.
Aunt Wang, who had been eavesdropping outside the window, stood up and said proudly, "This score isn't too low. It's more than enough to get into an ordinary high school. The point is, forget it. Unless you can afford the school selection fee, you can still get in."
Fang Yinan spat out the window, "Pah, what's so great about a key high school? My eldest daughter scored over 600 points on the college entrance exam! She can get into a top university!"
Aunt Wang smiled awkwardly, snorted, and left.
"Daughter, daughter, I don't usually see you being so nice to your daughter. It's so funny that you remember you have a daughter now."
Fang Yinan's face turned pale. She pointed at Lan Wei with a trembling finger, "What's wrong with you? You were just a little short. Why couldn't you score a few more points?"
Lan Wei couldn't help but retort: "Does that mean I can score a few more points if I want to?"
"What should we do now? Let Xiaowei go to a regular high school?"
Fang Yinan looked at Lan Yaowu.
Lan Yaowu's expression kept changing, and he ruffled his hair in anger. "No, ordinary high schools won't do. Look at those ordinary high schools. How many of them have made it to a top-tier university in recent years?"
"You mean to use the school selection fee to go to a key city school? But the school selection fee is 16,000 yuan a year, and we still have to support Lan Shuang's college education, so we don't have that much money."
Lan Yaowu stopped talking. He stood stiffly for a long moment, then suddenly lowered his head, nervously clasping his hands as he spoke, "Liu Min from the next village has been alone for years. When we ran into each other a few days ago, he told me that Lan Shuang was pretty. I heard he's saved quite a bit of money, maybe 40,000 or 50,000 yuan."
Fang Yinan took a moment to react, then widened her eyes. "You mean... let Lan Shuang marry him?"
