Chapter 296 Turning the Cabinet Upside Down
After the call was connected, Shen Xuewei first comforted Wu Yuhong, and then asked about the situation.
"Yuhong, how did it go? Is the school able to reissue your admission notice? Or is there another way?"
Wu Yuhong's eyes were swollen like walnuts, but she looked relieved.
"Yes, I called the school. They said it's okay if I lose my admission notice. Just explain the situation when I register, and bring my ID card and exam admission ticket. The school will help me verify my identity and enroll."
Hearing that everything was alright, Shen Xuewei breathed a sigh of relief.
"That's good."
She paused, then softly reminded him:
"Having learned this lesson, I advise you to prepare the necessary documents earlier. For example, your household registration booklet, various photocopies, your ID card, etc..."
What she taught Wu Yuhong was based on her own experience.
Shen Xuewei's household registration is currently with the Chen family, but she secretly took the household registration book away two years ago.
When Grandpa Chen needed it, he couldn't find it, so he went and got a replacement.
Not only that, Shen Xuewei even specially learned the signatures of Grandpa Chen and Grandma Xi.
She was still a minor, so whenever there were documents that required a guardian's signature, she would sign them herself on behalf of the elderly couple.
Now that she's been admitted to university, apart from her age slightly affecting her performance, other factors have had little impact on her.
In closing, Shen Xuewei said tactfully:
"You don't need to tell your parents about the notice and the solution you found, right? They might be in a bad mood, and they might accidentally act impulsively again... Don't you think so?"
Wu Yuhong understood what she meant. "I understand. Don't worry, I won't do anything foolish."
If she had known this would happen, she shouldn't have come back, otherwise her parents wouldn't have had the opportunity to treat her like this.
After hanging up the phone, Wu Yuhong touched the tear stains at the corners of her eyes, stood there for a while and thought about it. She then made up her mind and slowly walked home.
When Wu's parents realized she wasn't home, they searched everywhere for her, even asking the other three households in the village.
There was still no news. I had just returned home when I saw Wu Yuhong walking towards me from the roadside, looking very dejected.
The couple exchanged a glance, and Wu's mother quickly stepped forward and pulled Wu Yuhong home.
The door closed, and the couple flanked Wu Yuhong from both sides.
Wu Ma sounded very guilty and lightly slapped herself.
"Yuhong, I'm sorry, Mom was wrong. Your dad and I were just confused and burned your acceptance letter. What are we going to do?"
Mr. Wu also looked distressed, pacing around in circles with his hands behind his back, extremely anxious.
“Yuhong, if you’re angry, hit me. Dad only did this because… I couldn’t bear to see you leave. Dad knows he was wrong.”
"So, have you asked your school teachers if you can still go to school without this acceptance letter?"
The couple looked at Wu Yuhong, as if hoping to hear good news from her.
Wu Yuhong lowered her head, wiping away her tears, and said softly:
"I just called the admissions office, and they said that without an admission notice, I can't enroll..."
She paused, then said in a trembling voice, her voice trembling with tears, "Mom and Dad, I can never go to university again!"
The couple were heartbroken, and Wu's mother wiped away her tears.
"It's alright, it's alright, it's okay if you don't go to university. You can support yourself by farming at home. You can stay home with Mom and Dad from now on. We'll find a good man for you someday, and then we'll live a good life together, okay..."
Wu Yuhong just kept crying, and when she got tired of crying, she broke free from her mother's embrace.
"Mom, I don't want to talk right now. I want to go back to my room and lie down."
"Okay, okay, go back to your room and sleep. Your parents will take care of everything at home. Get some rest, and you'll feel better after a good night's sleep."
Wu Yuhong didn't respond. She looked lost and pitiful as she slowly went back into the house and closed the door.
The couple behind her watched her close the door and both breathed a sigh of relief.
"That's finally good. Yuhong can stay at home and live a peaceful life from now on."
"Aunt Wu sighed."
Mr. Wu glared at her and said irritably:
"You secretly burned her acceptance letter? Who told you to burn it at home? And she saw it. How do you think she'll feel good about that?"
"Doing something like this without even trying to hide from people, I really don't know what to say to you."
Wu Ma gave an awkward laugh and tried to defend herself.
"How would I know? She came back so quickly."
"Anyway, the admission notice is gone, and she can't go to school anymore. She'll probably stay at home and live a peaceful life from now on."
"By the way, her dad, when would be a convenient time to meet that person you mentioned before?"
Mr. Wu pulled up a stool and sat down, saying leisurely:
"No rush, they're the ones who're in a hurry, not us."
Wu Ma sat down as well, but she looked somewhat worried.
“There are few men who become live-in sons-in-law, and I’m worried that the boy might have some health problems.”
Mr. Wu also had this concern, "That's why I didn't let Yuhong meet him so soon. I plan to go to the village over there first, find out what's going on, and then decide what to do."
Aunt Wu nodded in agreement, "Yes, yes, we definitely need it."
The two sat in the living room and began to discuss it.
The thought that if the man is a good person, they might be able to marry him into the family this year and have a grandchild next year made them laugh out loud.
After they discussed it, they each took a hoe and a basket on their backs and went to the fields.
Wu Yuhong, who should have been sleeping, suddenly opened her eyes and, after confirming that they had gone far away, immediately began rummaging through drawers and cabinets in the house.
Half an hour later, she found the household registration book, the family's ID cards, and a wad of cash at the bottom of Mr. and Mrs. Wu's trunk.
Her eyes lit up with ecstasy, and she quickly took out her ID card and household registration booklet.
Looking at the stack of money at the bottom of the box, a hint of hesitation flashed in her eyes, and she picked it up hesitantly.
This wad of money was what she earned from her summer job. Her parents coaxed her into giving them the money to keep for her, promising to return it to her before the start of the new school term.
Her arm was taut, and the banknotes on it were creased from being folded.
Perhaps someone was passing by, because the dog barked twice, which startled her so much that she dropped the money in her hand.
She hurriedly picked up the money, counted out a few hundred dollars and put them back in the box, then stuffed the rest into her pocket.
Then he went back to his room, grabbed the bag he had packed earlier, and without any further hesitation, quickly left Xiaoli Village.
It's not time for school to start yet, but she can go to the vicinity of the school first, find a temporary place to stay, and find a day job to do.
She can't trust anyone in this world right now.
Meanwhile, Shen Xuewei got lost at the airport.
She wandered around the airport for almost an hour before finally leaving with the help of a staff member.
Standing outside the airport, Shen Xuewei wiped the sweat from her forehead and let out a wry smile.
"I wonder when this map navigation and stuff will be available..."
As someone who is slightly bad at directions, she desperately needs navigation software.
She stood by the roadside and hailed a taxi.
After getting on the bus, she told them where she wanted to go.
"Master, go to the main campus of Shenbei University."
