Let Xiaorou go to university in your place
Upon hearing this, Ye Wanqing immediately smiled.
In her past life, she was deceived by Zhou Zhiyuan and, believing she had a job at the supply and marketing cooperative, gave her university admission letter to Su Xiaorou. Back then, a job at the supply and marketing cooperative was considered a secure, stable job.
However, not long after the reform and opening-up policy was changed, and the supply and marketing cooperatives were allowed to be privately owned, she lost her job at the supply and marketing cooperative.
Su Xiaorou impersonated her and went to university. After graduating, she was assigned to a government agency and became a civil servant.
"How about this? I'll give up my job at the supply and marketing cooperative to Su Xiaorou, and I'll go to university. What do you think?"
Ye Wanqing looked at him with a smile.
this……
Zhou Zhiyuan never expected Ye Wanqing to say that, since his plan was for Wanqing to stay at home and take care of his parents, who were old and ill.
If Ye Wanqing were to go to university, his plan would fall through.
Thinking of this, Zhou Zhiyuan smiled and stepped forward to continue persuading her, "Wanqing, don't joke around. After we get married, my mother's health will be poor and she will need someone to take care of her. If you go to university, there will be no one to take care of her."
"You can quit your job to take care of her, right? As her own son, isn't it your duty to take care of your mother?"
[Ding! +2 Dislike Points credited!]
"Are you kidding me? If I quit my job, will my whole family starve?"
Zhou Zhiyuan was a little angry.
"So you think I should take care of you? You're the real son, why should I be your filial son?"
In her previous life, shortly after her marriage, her mother-in-law became paralyzed and bedridden. Ye Wanqing took care of her personally. Later, whether it was that his hometown needed money to rebuild a new house, his sister needed money for school, or his wedding dowry needed money, the elderly couple needed money for everything from food and drink to basic necessities. The whole family was sucking him dry, and she had even emptied the assets the Ye family had given her to support her husband's family. She was practically exploited, so where would she get any savings?
Zhou Zhiyuan never sent money home, and even when he did, it wasn't enough to cover his mother-in-law's medical expenses. It wasn't until Ye Wanqing fell ill and needed money for treatment that she realized they were out of money; Zhou Zhiyuan had secretly given all his money to Su Xiaorou.
“We’re getting married soon. Isn’t it only natural for you to stay home and take care of the family? Look around the neighborhood, which wife doesn’t stay home and take care of the family? Who goes to university after getting married?”
Zhou Zhiyuan became somewhat agitated as he spoke.
Ye Wanqing retorted, "I'm determined to go to university. Nobody can stop me."
After all, in any era, a degree is always a valuable asset, a stepping stone. In her previous life, it was because she gave up going to university that she, with only a high school diploma, was looked down upon by university professor Zhou Zhiyuan for not having anything in common with her.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Zhiyuan simply backed down, saying, "Ye Wanqing, if you dare to go to university, we'll call off the engagement."
Zhou Zhiyuan knew that Ye Wanqing had been in love with him since childhood and had cried and begged to marry him. He was sure he could control her by using the excuse of breaking off the engagement.
But to my surprise, Ye Wanqing readily agreed.
"Okay. You said you'd call off the engagement, so don't regret it. I'll go tell Uncle Zhou right now."
After saying that, Ye Wanqing turned and walked towards the living room.
Su Xiaorou, who was standing to the side, was stunned. She gave Zhou Zhiyuan a wink.
If Ye Wanqing really breaks off the engagement, how can she still get her university admission letter?
Zhou Zhiyuan ran over and grabbed Ye Wanqing, his tone much softer. "Wanqing, I was just joking. We're already engaged, how could I possibly call it off? Besides, haven't you always dreamed of marrying me?"
Ye Wanqing smiled.
The Ye family was originally a large, century-old family, but it was destroyed when the storm came. Before the incident, Grandpa Ye gave her to Wei Guo for adoption.
Before Grandpa Ye died, Zhou Weiguo went to see him one last time. Grandpa Ye's only wish before he died was that Zhou Zhiyuan could marry Ye Wanqing in the future.
Zhou Zhiyuan was a college student and a highly educated individual, while his parents were both factory workers and his uncle was a military officer, making his family background quite good.
If Ye Wanqing marries him, she will definitely live a life of comfort and security, and will never suffer any hardship. That's why Grandpa Ye, on his deathbed, used his life-saving grace to exchange for Ye Wanqing's marriage—he went to great lengths to achieve this!
In her past life, when she first arrived at the Zhou family, Zhou Zhiyuan was not as cold-blooded and ruthless as he would become later. Back then, he always cared for her and showed her warmth, like a ray of light in the darkness. Over time, she fell in love with him, which led to her shamelessly insisting on marrying him.
However, Zhou Zhiyuan didn't like her and always treated her like a younger sister. She knew this, but she thought that if she lived her life well, Zhou Zhiyuan would gradually develop feelings for her over time!
Unexpectedly, what I got in return was...
“I took it seriously. And I know you’ve never liked me. Aren’t you against arranged marriages? Breaking off the engagement is exactly what you wanted.”
Zhou Zhiyuan's expression instantly darkened.
Although he didn't like Ye Wanqing, the two were already engaged, and their relatives and friends all knew about it. If he broke off the engagement, where would he put his face?
Zhou Zhiyuan was furious. "Ye Wanqing, are you messing with me? You were the one who cried and begged my father to make me marry you, and now you're the one saying you want to break off the engagement. What are you trying to do?"
Ye Wanqing smiled. "I told you, I want to go to university."
Su Xiaorou, standing to the side, turned pale; she had never expected things to go so badly.
After all, Zhou Zhiyuan had assured her that he could definitely get her a university admission letter.
At this moment, she just felt a little embarrassed.
"Since Sister Wanqing doesn't want to give me the notification letter, I won't force her. How about giving me the job at the supply and marketing cooperative instead?"
Zhou Zhiyuan chimed in, "Yeah, if it doesn't work out, you can just give the job to Su Xiaorou."
Ye Wanqing thought to herself that there was no point in keeping this job, as it would be canceled sooner or later anyway. She might as well take advantage of this opportunity to extort some money from her.
“Sure. I can give you the job at the supply and marketing cooperative. But the 500 yuan is non-negotiable.”
“500? Where would I get that much money?” Su Xiaorou’s eyes immediately reddened. “Sister Wanqing, if you really don’t want to give it to me, you can just say so. Why are you asking me for so much money? I have no parents and my husband is dead. I can’t even support myself. Where would I get the money?”
“If you don’t have money, you can borrow it from Zhou Zhiyuan. He has money. 500 is only half a year’s salary for him. Zhou Zhiyuan won’t be so stingy as to refuse you.”
Upon hearing this, Su Xiaorou turned to look at Zhou Zhiyuan and asked, "Brother Zhiyuan, how about you lend me 500 yuan?"
Zhou Zhiyuan's face immediately turned red; he couldn't escape the 500 yuan now either.
But as expected of a university professor, his mind works quickly. He immediately said, "Wanqing, we're getting married soon, so my money is your money. The 500 yuan I lent to Xiaorou will eventually be yours. I'll write you an IOU, and you can pay me back slowly when you get your salary. That's fine, isn't it?"
"Heh." Ye Wanqing just wanted to laugh. "Did you not understand human language just now? I said I wanted to break off the engagement. Your money is your money, and my money is still my money."
