Chapter 3 I am destined to study
Sun Hongxia's face froze.
This damn girl dares to talk to me like this now, is she rebelling against the heaven?
"Ruan Fu, you are so disrespectful. How can you talk to your stepmother like that? She cares about you too!" Ruan Dahe frowned and scolded his daughter.
"Bullshit!" Ruan Fu was even more rude to her stupid father. "I jumped into the river but didn't drown. Instead, someone splashed me with a bucket of water and woke me up. When I woke up, I was pointed at and scolded. Where was she hiding at that time? Why didn't she come out to care about me?"
"You were wrong. Your grandma was just scolding you a few words. Just listen to her. How could you want to commit suicide?" Ruan Dahe acted like a parent.
Ruan Fu looked at her extremely foolishly filial father and suddenly smiled.
I'm too lazy to argue with him, it's a waste of energy!
It would be better to just throw a fuse and let these people fight each other!
"Okay, stepmother, since you care about me, why don't you stew an egg for me today? I've seen you stew eggs for Hong Xing several times."
When this was said in public, Sun Hongxia's face turned green.
Sister-in-law Ruan Lanxiang was originally watching the fun, and when she heard this, she slapped her thigh.
"Okay, sister-in-law, I just thought the number of eggs was too few, and after all this time you took it!"
"Don't listen to the kid's nonsense," Sun Hongxia said quickly. "You have the keys to the cabinet. How could I touch the eggs?"
Ruan Lanxiang is not someone who can be perfunctory.
"You've been hanging around the chicken coop several times. Didn't you steal eggs?"
People around kept talking about it, saying that the stepmother abused the child. No one expected that Sun Hongxia was such a person in private.
Sun Hongxia became anxious.
"Lanxiang, how can you say such things in public? I am your sister-in-law, not a thief!"
Ruan Lanxiang wanted to say something more, but Old Mrs. Ruan grabbed her daughter and frowned.
"Second brother's wife, Lanxiang is just complaining a few words, why are you arguing with the youngster? You're making a fool of yourself!"
Since her mother-in-law had spoken, Sun Hongxia could only swallow her anger.
Her eyes were like two sharp knives, and she wished she could poke a few holes in Ruan Fu's body.
Ruan Fu didn't care about the other person's look at all. Sun Hongxia could look at her as long as she wanted. It wouldn't make her lose any weight anyway.
At the same time, she was quite pleased with the outcome of the dispute.
This family all has their own ulterior motives.
Then she will add fuel to the fire and make the whole family restless.
The situation here had just calmed down, the crowd parted and a short-haired woman walked over quickly.
"Hello, Ruan Fu. I'm Director Sun from Yucai High School. I'm here to discuss your suspension."
Ruan Fu naturally knew her and quickly said, "Hello, Teacher Sun."
"Your grades are among the best in the school, and you have a good chance of getting into university. Therefore, the school hopes that you will seriously consider dropping out..."
Hearing this, the eldest daughter-in-law Liu Mei, who was watching the fun from the side, quickly spoke up.
"Teacher, you have seen our family's financial situation. It's not that we don't want Ruan Fu to study, it's just that we don't have the money."
She looked to the side and said hypocritically, "Fuzi, you have always been the most sensible and obedient, and you can understand the difficulties at home, right?"
If Ruan Fu is willing to give up, the rest of the matter will naturally be easy to resolve.
Even the village committee has no right to force people to go to school.
Ruan Fu saw through the other party's calculations at a glance, and wanted her to drop out of school voluntarily? How could it be possible!
Lotus Village is located in a remote area, and the spring breeze of reform and opening up will not reach here in the short term.
If you want to escape from the current poverty, the best way is to study hard and naturally escape from poverty.
Otherwise, why would Liu Mei insist on letting her son Ruan Zhiguo continue his studies?
Aren't they hoping that he can get into university and become one of the first batch of college students after the resumption of the college entrance examination? His future will definitely be bright then. Even if he fails to get into university, the status of a high school graduate will be enough for him to gain a foothold in the county.
As for Ruan Fu, who dropped out of school, she would be like an ordinary village woman, get married, have children, and work in the fields all her life, with no one paying any attention to her.
One is a star in the sky, the other is mud underground, two completely different paths in life.
The Ruan family members are not fools, so they can naturally tell the difference.
The plan was very clever, but it was a pity that Ruan Fu was not going to obey this time.
There is nothing wrong with wanting to move up, it all depends on your ability.
She wanted to use the money from selling her body to support Ruan Zhiguo to go to high school, and then step on herself in the process?
Sorry, absolutely not!
"Auntie, since our family has no money, why can your Ruan Zhiguo continue to study?"
Liu Mei glared at her. Why was this girl so tactless today?
"Zhiguo is a boy, of course you are different."
"Now the national policy is that men and women are treated the same. Auntie, can you tell me what is the difference between me and Brother Zhiguo?"
Liu Mei was anxious: "What nonsense are you talking about, kid! If you don't believe me, ask the villagers, which family would let a boy drop out of school and let a girl continue to study?"
The people watching around nodded.
Although boys and girls are equally loved, things like studying are usually given to boys in the family.
If it happened in my own home, I would probably ask the girl to drop out of school.
Ruan Fu watched coldly from the sidelines. She wanted to use public opinion to overwhelm her? She also knew this trick!
She pinched her thigh hard, and her eyes immediately turned red. She shouted, "Uncles and aunts, if my grades were similar to Brother Zhiguo's, I would accept dropping out of school, but in fact, I have more than 400 points higher than him, and there is a high possibility of getting into university. Otherwise, the teacher would not have come to our house specially. Not allowing me to study for this reason, isn't that bullying?"
At the end of her story, tears were streaming down her face, and she looked so pitiful.
Just then, Teacher Sun took out a stack of report cards and loudly announced Ruan Fu's results from her last exam.
The people around them all looked a little complicated when they heard the high scores.
If this is true, then the Ruan family is indeed a bit unkind.
College students, if one of them turns out to be a gold nugget these days, the whole village will be filled with joy.
There is no difference between boys and girls. Even if the old dog at home can pass the exam, he should be allowed to study!
Liu Mei was frustrated and her face turned completely dark.
This damn girl used to be a quiet person, how come she suddenly became so bold and dared to act like this in front of others?
Fortunately, I still have a backup plan, otherwise I'm afraid she would have succeeded!
The village party secretary tapped his pipe, looking impatient.
"What are you arguing about? Since no one is convinced, let the village make the decision and follow the method we agreed on before."
It’s time to draw lots!
Ruan Fu was pulled over.
Old Mrs. Ruan glared at her viciously and pointed to the bowl in front of her where two paper dumplings were placed.
"These two pieces of paper have the words 'farming' and 'studying' written on them. Pick them out. Everything depends on God's will. You can't blame anyone else."
Ruan Fu looked at the two paper balls and sneered in her heart.
Is the old lady trying to fool her again?
These are all old tricks used in the previous life.
The paper balls had been tampered with long ago, and both of them had "farming" written on them.
As long as he reached out, no matter who he grabbed, Ruan Zhiguo could continue his studies, while he himself would have to drop out of school and farm.
What a great way to kill two birds with one stone. It not only shuts up other people but also allows me to completely accept my fate.
It would be fine if she really could farm, and in a few years she could find a good man to marry, and the family would be happy, which would be a good ending.
But Old Lady Ruan pretended to obey her but secretly disobeyed her. She would force her to marry the sickly Lai Da and even gave the money she earned from selling her body to Ruan Zhiguo to squander.
Could it be that in their eyes, my granddaughter is so unworthy of being a human being? Should she allow the whole family to abuse and suck her blood?
Ruan Fu thought of her past life again and hated it so much that she almost gritted her teeth.
