Hearing Yuan Mengge's words, Li Xue'e nodded: "Oh."
Yuan Mengge suddenly looked at her and asked, "By the way, Sister Xue'e, what are your plans for the future?"
Previously, all she wanted was for Li Xue'e to leave Heshui Town, leave the Yuan family and the Li family, and go anywhere.
But I haven't asked Li Xue'e what she thinks yet.
Li Xue'e has always been controlled by her family, without freedom or her own ideas. Even if she has ideas, she can only be forced to give them up.
She remembered that Li Xue'e was forced to drop out of school by her family.
I just don't know if she has any intention of continuing her studies.
If she wants to continue her studies, I will naturally support her.
But Yuan Mengge was worried that because she had no money, she would only think about working to earn money.
After hearing her words, Li Xue'e thought about it in silence for a moment, and then said, "Hmm... if I could leave... I want to hide far away, find a stable job, earn money to pay you back, and support myself."
Yuan Mengge tentatively asked her, "Do you still want to continue your studies? We can put the money-making thing aside for now. You're only twenty years old, you can still pursue your studies further."
Li Xue'e was stunned when she heard this: "Studying?"
After dropping out of school, she thought she would never have the opportunity to study again, so she gave up on the idea and never thought she would have the chance to study again.
This idea had long since disappeared from her mindset.
Yuan Mengge nodded: "Of course you can't go back to high school, but you can still take the college entrance exam. With a college diploma, you'll be able to find a better job in the future, and you won't be looked down upon by others."
In this day and age, going to university is a source of great pride for one's family. Even if you don't get into university, getting into a vocational school is still acceptable.
Li Xue'e dropped out of school, so her student registration should still be there.
Although she cannot go back to high school, she can take the college entrance examination.
(I'm not very familiar with this situation before, so please feel free to point out any errors or skip this part.)
Li Xue'e looked at her: "Can I still study?"
Yuan Mengge said, "Of course you can, why not? It just depends on whether you want to or not."
Li Xue'e was silent for a moment, then said, "But... I don't have any money..."
Yuan Mengge said to her, "Didn't I say money isn't a problem? I have some! I'll lend it to you as a form of financial assistance, and you can repay me later."
Li Xue'e looked at her with some confusion: "Sponsorship?"
She was unfamiliar with the word, so she didn't know what it meant.
Yuan Mengge explained simply: "Sponsorship means providing funds to help children who need money to go to school."
Li Xue'e asked with a blank expression, "Are there really people like that? Why would they do such a thing?"
Yuan Mengge said, "Well, some people are simply doing charity out of kindness; while others are doing it to cultivate talent for themselves, so that the children they sponsor can work for them after graduation."
Then he added, "Just think of me as someone who's training talent. You can pay me back when you get rich."
Li Xue'e: "...I haven't even paid you back the betrothal money yet, so won't I owe you even more money? When will I ever be able to pay it all back..."
Yuan Mengge shrugged indifferently and said, "Pay it back slowly, I'm not in a hurry anyway. Life is long, you owe me so much money, you have to live a long time to earn money to pay me back. Let me tell you, your life is very valuable to me, you have to live a long time, don't die young, understand?"
As she spoke, she stared into Li Xue'e's eyes.
Li Xue'e smiled and said, "What are you saying? Don't curse me, okay?"
Yuan Mengge then asked, "So you want to continue your studies? Think it over carefully, don't rush into thinking about going out to work."
Li Xue'e hesitated for a moment, but she did not refuse immediately, clearly somewhat tempted.
Over the years, she had never thought about her future. Now, suddenly being asked to consider her future path, she felt very lost.
Seeing her confused look, Yuan Mengge said to her, "Think carefully about what kind of path you want to take in the future. If you go out to work now, your current education will limit many of your job options and opportunities for advancement. Even if you get a promotion later, it will be taken away by some college graduates who come later."
Li Xue'e: "..."
Yuan Mengge continued, "Anyway, you still have six months, so think it over carefully. There's no rush."
Even if we want her to continue her studies, we should let her complete self-defense training first.
The car swayed and bumped its way back to Heshui Town; it was already midday.
"Let's have lunch first before going back to fight." After getting off the car, Yuan Mengge pulled Li Xue'e to have lunch first.
After sitting down, Li Xue'e asked her curiously, "What method are you going to use to get your brother to divorce me?"
Yuan Mengge took out a red-headed letter paper from her schoolbag, and then began to write furiously at the dining table.
Divorce Agreement
Li Xue'e peeked over and looked over, then showed a surprised expression.
After reading for a while, I saw that she had written a full page of letter paper.
Because there were no children or property to divide, Yuan Mengge wrote relatively little.
"We'll print out a few copies of this agreement and then get Yuan Dasheng to sign them. Once he signs them, the divorce will be easy," Yuan Mengge said as she wrote.
She didn't know if the print shop had a template for a divorce agreement, so she wrote one in advance.
After all, in this day and age, very few people get divorced in this town, so probably not many people would bother to get a divorce certificate.
In county towns or large cities like provincial capitals, it is quite common.
Li Xue'e took it and looked at it, then turned to look at her: "You can write this too..."
Yuan Mengge replied, "I've seen others write it before."
Li Xue'e: "Oh, oh..."
Yuan Mengge then wrote on another piece of paper: 【Bride Price Account Book——】
Two copies of this document are needed, but only one copy needs to be signed by all three of them.
To avoid them denying it later.
I made two copies in case they tore them up.
"But are your parents and brother willing to sign?" Li Xue'e looked at her with some concern.
Based on what she'd learned about them over the past few days, they weren't the kind of people who would let her go easily.
"Don't worry, I told you, I have a way to get them to sign," Yuan Mengge said calmly, then put away both pens and started eating.
After finishing her meal, Yuan Mengge went to a bicycle shop and bought a new bicycle.
Li Xue'e: "Are you buying a new bicycle?"
Yuan Mengge nodded: "Yes, the car at home wasn't bought by me, so I'm returning it to them."
After printing two copies of the document, the two took the document and rode their bicycles back to Zhulan Village.
