Aunt Min told her the rest of the story: "The situation was like this at the time. There was only one recommended spot for studying medicine, but there were definitely a lot of people who wanted to study, and there were more than a hundred people who signed up. In the end, only six people were able to take the internal written test. Your mother worked so hard to prepare for the exam, and everyone had great confidence in her, so to this day I still can't figure out why she ranked last when the final results came out."
Her mother got the last place in the exam? Xie Wanying frowned, feeling a little bit unbelievable. Because according to what she often heard from her grandfather, her mother had good grades since she was a child. If it hadn't happened in those turbulent times, she could have been admitted to a university like her.
"Auntie, what do you think is the reason for my mother's poor academic performance?" Xie Wanying asked Aunt Min carefully. She saw that she had something to tell her and that's why she called her here.
Suddenly, she ran into the daughter of her friend whom she hadn't seen for a long time during the last days of her life. Aunt Min thought it was fate and sighed. She reached out and grabbed Xie Wanying's hand, saying earnestly: "It's been many years. You are now a doctor, which should be regarded as the fulfillment of your mother's unfulfilled dream."
Xie Wanying nodded. Part of her dream was facilitated by her mother and it was also her mother's dream.
"I'm telling you this now. It's up to you to decide whether to tell your mother or not, okay?" Aunt Min trusted her daughter and gave her the right to choose.
"I understand, Auntie, go ahead." Xie Wanying promised that she would handle what she heard properly.
Seeing that she understood, Aunt Min felt relieved and told her the secret that had been buried in her heart for a long time: "In fact, I almost forgot about this. It's just that after seeing you become a doctor today, I remembered what your mother looked like back then. If I don't tell you the news, I'm afraid my conscience will condemn me. Whether the news I heard is true or not, I just heard it from others and can't confirm it. It happened that your mother had passed away at that time and I couldn't contact her, so I couldn't tell her. The thing is, it was two or three years later, I had dinner with a leader, he also knew your mother. Recalling the past, he undoubtedly revealed an insider information, saying that at that time someone swapped your mother's written test answer sheet with another one, saying that your mother was very sorry."
A trace of sadness ran through Xie Wanying's heart. She never imagined that such a shady thing would really happen to her mother.
...
...
It can only be said that good people are easily bullied. Her mother is a kind-hearted person who often thinks that everyone around her is good. She never thought that she was manipulated by her acquaintances. Including Xie Wanying herself, she had no idea that others had secretly wanted to trick her into filling out the application form before she was reborn.
The substitution of her mother's grades must have been done by someone she knew or condoned. Because this was an internal recommendation selection exam, in order to recognize the final grade and the final candidate, the recommenders must reach a consensus, which must include the person who recommended her mother.
Aunt Min looked at her for a long time, and had to admit that her guess was right. She was deeply saddened and said, "There was no fair and just examination system in that era. It was very dark and could be manipulated behind the scenes. The dean who recommended your mother reached a consensus with others to recommend other candidates."
