"I don't care. Yingying wants to be a doctor. I will go and raise money for her tuition." Sun Rongfang was really angry and stomped her feet and left.
In 1996, there were no student loans. It was very difficult for ordinary families to support a college student, but as long as her daughter could pass the entrance exam, Sun Rongfang felt that it was not a big problem. The family had spent countless money on the education of the two children for so many years and still managed to get by. What reason was there not to support her daughter to study medicine? She knew what her husband was thinking and would never agree.
Seeing that his wife refused, Xie Changrong walked to the door of his daughter's room and said, "If you really want to study, go to a normal school, okay? Your grandfather has asked for you, and a normal college is the best."
"Dad, why don't you ask the elders for their opinions?" Xie Wanying turned around and said meaningfully to her father.
"Do you need to ask your grandfather? I asked him last time." Xie Changrong dragged his slippers and walked back to get the phone to call the old man, while nagging, "I'll let your grandfather talk to you."
"You can ask grandpa for his opinion again, Dad." Xie Wanying said.
Ask his father-in-law? Hsieh Chang-jung thought about it and decided to let a bunch of people talk and let his wife and daughter accept the failure and go to the Normal College.
Beep, beep, beep. First the call reached Grandpa Xie's house. Xie Wanying's grandfather was called Xie Yousheng.
"Dad, let me tell you, this is what happened. Yingying's college entrance examination results are out, and she got first place." Xie Changrong told his father.
...
...
"First place?" Grandpa Xie was surprised when he heard his son say his granddaughter ranked first in the exam. "First in the class?"
"Maybe. They say he's the top scorer in science." Actually, Hsieh Chang-jung had no idea what the top scorer in science was.
Grandpa Xie said, "Wait a minute, I'll help you find out what's going on."
Xie Wanying, who was listening in the room, knew this would happen and was very calm. The Xie family had never produced a college student. She was the first child in the Xie family to take the college entrance examination. Her grandparents didn't understand. But it didn't matter. Someone would speak up for her, just like in her previous life. So after the quarrel with her father that day, she ignored him and only cared about her exam.
The phone suddenly rang. Thinking it was his father calling, Xie Changrong quickly picked up the receiver and shouted, "Dad!"
"You knew I was calling?"
The voice of his father-in-law on the other side made Xie Changrong choke in his throat: "Dad, you——"
"Yingying's results are out, and she is said to be the top scorer in science. We are so happy. You and Afang should be dying of joy." Grandpa Sun laughed.
Xie Changrong stood there awkwardly. After all, his wife was very happy, but he was in a so-so mood. It was not his son who did well in the exam but his daughter who did well. He just could not be happy at all.
"I'm telling you, I've told your wife, that's my daughter, that Yingying wants to go to medical school, and we must fully support her."
Grandpa Sun's words helped Xie Changrong come to his senses, and he discussed with his father-in-law: "Wouldn't it be better to let Yingying go to a normal school?"
"You are stupid!" Grandpa Sun was furious at his son-in-law's words and scolded him profusely, "Yingying got first place, why don't you let her go to the top class in the country? What kind of college do you want her to go to? What do you want to do!"
When Hsieh Chang-jung was questioned by his father-in-law about what he wanted to do, he stammered, "It's because our family doesn't have the means to send her to medical school. Dad, the Normal College has subsidies, so we don't have to pay. I have asked my dad about it."
"I will pay for Yingying's tuition. You are not allowed to let her go to other schools!" Grandpa Sun was so angry that he hung up the phone on his son-in-law.
