Chapter 379: Mr. Cheng’s Family Dilemma

"Xiaoyu, didn't you read the news about the college entrance examination in the newspaper?"

Bai Wei just felt it was a bit strange. Such big news had already caused a sensation across the country, but Huang Siyu seemed to be completely unaware of it.

"I...I've been busy lately, so I don't know about this."

Huang Siyu lifted her hair awkwardly.

Song Qinian looked around Cheng Wanting's yard. This was his first time visiting Old Cheng's home. The courtyard in front of him was kept clean and tidy. Only the main room was occupied, while the side rooms on both sides were empty.

"Mr. Cheng, this time we come to thank you for naming Yisi and Yile. My wife and brother want to take the college entrance examination, so we come to you for advice."

Song Qinian mentioned the main business, and Cheng Wanting glanced at Bai Wei and Song Qifu behind her.

"And me! I want to join in too!"

He Zhaodi raised her hand high. She looked young, and even Cheng Wanting was a little surprised.

"How old are you?"

"I'm fifteen!"

He Zhaodi's voice was sonorous and powerful. In fact, she was only fourteen years old, not even fifteen, but she was afraid that she would be eliminated.

She knew very well that once she could take the college entrance examination in Kyoto and get admitted to university, her life would completely change!

She said she couldn't miss this opportunity.

"Young comrade, you are quite ambitious!"

Cheng Wanting waved his hand, signaling Bai Wei and others to go into the house together.

As soon as Bai Wei walked into the room, she saw several pieces of paper on the table. She took a closer look and found that it was a whole set of test papers, which were for Chinese.

"Mr. Cheng, are these questions used for examinations?"

Bai Wei was a little curious. She quickly glanced at the test paper. These questions were not difficult at all for her.

Song Qi Fu also saw the test paper, but he just glanced at it without changing his expression.

"Several schools have asked me to prepare test questions. This is a test paper I prepared in the past. Take it out and have a look."

Cheng Wanting smiled and asked everyone to sit down.

Looking at the test questions on the table, Bai Wei finally understood.

No wonder so many people are lining up to see Mr. Cheng. Now that the college entrance examination has started, all schools have to start recruiting students. Schools that come to Mr. Cheng to ask questions must not be ordinary schools.

"Mr. Cheng, you are very knowledgeable, can you give my wife some advice..."

Song Qinian's words were very tactful, but Cheng Wanting naturally understood everything immediately.

"Xiao Song, this college entrance examination is about selecting important talents for the country, so you can't make any false claims. The only advice I can give you is to read more, watch more, and learn more. But since you're here, you can copy a set of the test papers and take them home to do a preliminary test of your own level."

As soon as Cheng Wanting finished speaking, the door of the room next to him opened and several people walked out.

"Mr. Cheng, we have finished copying the questions and answered them. We are here to check with you."

Bai Wei looked up and saw that there were quite a few people sitting in the room, all transcribing the test questions.

She couldn't help but glance at Cheng Wanting. This old Cheng was really secretive in what he did and he didn't offend anyone.

"Okay, these are just preliminary test questions. When we really take the test in the future, the questions will naturally be different. However, you can roughly measure your level and have an idea in your mind."

After Cheng Wanting said this, Bai Wei understood in her heart.

Mr. Cheng took out several sets of examination questions and gave instructions to everyone who came to see him, but in practice it didn't have much effect.

After all, there is a huge difference between this exam question and the real test question.

"Thank you, Mr. Cheng, thank you, Mr. Cheng!"

Everyone left with the test papers in their hands, feeling grateful.

"Xiao Song, you can also ask your wife to copy a copy. There are four or five sets of test papers here!"

Cheng Wanting said with a smile.

"Weiwei, you take a rest. Qi Fu and I will go copy. Let's go, Qi Fu."

Song Qinian specially called Song Qifu, unwilling to let Bai Wei get tired.

"You are such a loving wife, boy. Go ahead."

Cheng Wanting waved his hand, and Song Qinian pulled Song Qifu into the house.

"Then you wait for a moment. I'll go and call the guests outside in."

Cheng Wanting sighed. His door was almost broken down by people. Most of the people who came to his door were people he couldn't afford to offend, so he could only come up with this way to deal with it.

"Alas, Mr. Cheng..."

Bai Wei called out to Cheng Wanting, and just as she was about to speak, a woman with white hair suddenly walked in from outside.

"Wan Ting! I don't have enough money for the medicine. Can you give me some?"

The woman's voice was very low, but Bai Wei and the others could still hear it clearly.

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Cheng Wanting's face. He pulled her out of the house and closed the door. The woman's anxious voice rang out.

"I have used up all the medicine I was prescribed last time. I have no money left. You have to give me some money."

Cheng Wanting lowered his voice and said, "My salary for this month has not been paid yet. Go to the drugstore and check the bill again, and put it in my name."

"It's too late! Last time, they told me that we already owe eighty-nine and fifty-three yuan for the medicine! If you don't pay us, we won't get any more medicine! Ping'er depends on this medicine to stay alive, you must find a way to get the money."

The woman's voice became more and more anxious, and she couldn't help but raise her voice.

Bai Wei and Huang Siyu looked at each other. It seems that the Cheng family also has its own problems!

"Why are you so anxious? Will yelling at me help? If it doesn't work, sell our yard!"

Cheng Wanting's words made Bai Wei's eyes light up.

This is a courtyard house in Kyoto. If it were in the future, it would be worth hundreds of millions!

Especially the courtyard of Cheng’s home, which is square, spacious and bright, and the location is quite good. It is a courtyard house within the Second Ring Road!

"How much can it be sold for? Last time we offered five hundred and no one was willing to buy it!"

The woman's low sobbing was heard, followed by Cheng Wanting's sighs.

Bai Wei took the initiative to walk forward and opened the door. The woman and Cheng Wanting turned their heads at the same time and looked at Bai Wei.

"Mr. Cheng, there is a custom in our hometown that the names of our descendants must be given by people of high moral character and prestige, especially this name. If it is not used, it is fine. But once it is used, it must be sealed and a good first prize! It was inconvenient with so many people outside just now, so this is a token of my and Qinian's intention."

Bai Wei took out an envelope from the military bag and stuffed it into Cheng Wanting's hand.

Cheng Wanting was stunned. Before he could react, the old woman next to him snatched the envelope and opened it in front of Bai Wei.

"Ten dollars!!! That's enough, enough for Ping'er's medicine!"

The deep wrinkles on the old woman's face seemed to smooth out at this moment. She grabbed the money and ran quickly out of the house.

"Si Yan!"

Cheng Wanting called out, but the other party ignored him and ran out of the door like crazy.

"Comrade Bai Wei, I can't take this money. I will definitely return it to you later!"

Cheng Wanting lowered his head, looking somewhat helpless.

Huang Siyu leaned against the door and said, "Mr. Cheng, your mother has accepted the money, so you should accept this gift as well."

"Mother?"

These two words made Cheng Wanting's eyes move. He was stunned for a moment before he spoke, "Si Yan... is my lover."

This short sentence stunned Bai Wei and Huang Siyu.

The old woman, with her white hair and wrinkled face, looked extremely old. Cheng Wanting was only in his forties, still in his prime. How could his lover be an old woman?!
