Chapter 22 Going to the Scrap Yard to Collect Books (1/2)



Her sudden intelligence surprised Qiao Shanshan.

She chuckled awkwardly, "How could you think like that? We're sisters, and I'll always be your sister. Society is unstable these days, and I'm just worried you'll get scammed if you take so much money. How could I possibly want your money?"

The clerk smirked as she looked down at the document she had signed. If it weren't for the fact that it was a transfer document instead of a guarantee document, she would have believed the girl's nonsense.

He's young, but he's quite cunning.

He cleared his throat. "You can't leave now."

Qiao Shanshan knew what he meant. "Comrade, my sister will go first. I'll stay here to take care of things."

She winked at the clerk.

The staff member looked at Qiao Wanyue.

She nodded slightly.

"Okay, you guys go first."

The staff asked Zhou Wenwen and Qiao Wanyue to go first.

Zhou Wenwen left, turning back every few steps.

After Qiao Wanyue and Zhou Wenwen left, they walked out of the textile factory gate, and Zhou Wenwen sat down on the ground with a thud.

Qiao Wanyue ignored her and turned to go to the scrap yard.

She has to take the college entrance exam in her lifetime, so she has to study on her own in advance. It's already too late for her to take high school courses at her age, and she doesn't have a junior high or elementary school diploma, so high schools won't accept her.

She planned to buy books to study at home. She had attended night school for a few years in her previous life, but later her mother discovered that she was secretly studying. She scolded her for being idle and illiterate, saying that she was delusional to think that she could learn to read and take the college entrance exam. She secretly tore up her books.

Fortunately, she never gave up learning. She studied at night school for several years and, with the words she learned there, read many literary and overseas books. Gradually, her mind expanded from the small world she had just entered to a vast sky.

When she discovered Qiao Shanshan and Yang Huaiyuan's affair, she originally planned to let them be together. She got a divorce, and at that time she had a stable career. She wanted to study abroad and had saved enough money.

However, those two scoundrels didn't give her a chance.

Qiao Wanyue was so angry that her teeth itched. In her previous life, she devoted herself wholeheartedly to her family in the first half of her life, but suffered a lot in the second half because of that bastard Yang Huaiyuan.

But in the end, he met a tragic end, his body torn to pieces.

"Young lady, what are you doing at the scrap yard?" Qiao Wanyue unknowingly walked into the scrap yard. The gatekeeper was an old man. He saw Qiao Wanyue standing at the door in a daze, and cat urine was even dripping down her face.

Qiao Wanyue said, "Grandpa, I've never been to school. I'd like to find some junior high and high school textbooks, as well as newspapers, to take back and practice writing. Do you have any here?"

I wouldn't dare say there are other elderly men like him.

There are as many newspapers and books as you want.

"Yes, it's in the very inner corner. You little girl, you've never been to school, so you probably don't know what to learn first. Let me find it for you." The old man said as he walked inside, happily starting to look for Qiao Wanyue.

He was also a college student. He later joined the revolution and was injured. After working for two or three years, his body couldn't take it anymore, so his family made him retire. Later, he couldn't stay idle, so he found a job as a gatekeeper at a scrap yard.

Qiao Wanyue followed the old man inside.

The old man kept thrashing his hands and talking non-stop.
