Chapter 68: Substitution
"You, what are you talking about? How can a family only care about themselves?"
"Yeah, then how can you only care about Li Wenting's unhappiness and ignore our happiness." Li Wenxi carried the bucket into the kitchen and said to Li Wenhua, "Wenhua, help me return the bucket to Zhaodi's house. And take a bag of peach cakes over."
Qin Lan was choked with a breath, and said to Li Hongbin, "Tingting also wants to go to Ningcheng to study in high school. Can you think of a way?"
Li Wenting behind Qin Lan also looked at Li Hongbin with hope in her eyes.
Li Hongbin could now feel how unreliable Qin Lan was. "Tingting's score line is not enough to get into a high school on the island. How can I let her go to Ningcheng to study in a high school?"
"Don't you know the Ningcheng Education Bureau?"
Li Wenhua interrupted him before he finished speaking. "Can you take a crooked approach to something like the high school entrance examination? Don't think about these nonsense. If Tingting still wants to go to high school, then repeat one more year. Don't think about anything else."
After saying that, she walked out.
The next day, when Li Wenxi went downstairs to get water, she heard Qin Lan making a phone call. Seeing her coming, Qin Lan lowered her voice.
But Li Wenxi vaguely heard the words "Ningcheng" and "high school".
She guessed that Qin Lan was talking about Li Wenting and didn't take it to heart.
In the evening, when Li Hongbin returned home, his face was gloomy. He took off his military cap, looked at Qin Lan and said, "Go upstairs, I have something to tell you."
Li Wenting pursed her lips and watched their backs as they went upstairs.
After Qin Lan entered the room, Li Hongbin closed the door. "You went to Lao Wang for Tingting's matter?"
Qin Lan looked at Li Hongbin anxiously: "He went to you? What did he say? Did he agree?"
Li Hongbin slammed the table heavily: "Agree, how could he agree? Tingting's high school entrance examination score of more than 300 points, let alone the high school in Ningcheng, even the high school on the island can't go. Your request is too much for him."
He thought of the embarrassed tone of his former comrade Lao Wang when he called him this afternoon, and he was furious. Thinking of this, he yelled again: "Do you think the high school is run by our family? If you are like this, why do we still have to take the high school entrance examination and the college entrance examination?"
Qin Lan said aggrievedly: "Just this time, don't you see how sad Tingting is."
"Why didn't she review well before when she was sad, and didn't study hard like Xiaoxi? Just because she was sad, does that mean others should do something illegal?"
Li Wenxi and Li Wenhua heard the quarrel upstairs and didn't dare to speak.
Li Wenting was dazed.
Li Wenxi knew that there was no dinner tonight, so she took Li Wenhua to the kitchen to cook. Opening the cupboard, they decided to make a spicy lobster, steamed fish and braised eggplant, garlic greens, and finally a scallion pancake.
Li Wenhua kept swallowing beside him.
When Li Hongbin went downstairs, he saw Li Wenxi and Li Wenhua busy in the kitchen. His expression eased a lot. He said to Li Wenting in the living room: "If you want to study in a high school in Ningcheng, you can study for another year in the third grade of junior high school. If the high school you are admitted to does not provide dormitories, your family will also support you to rent a house in Ningcheng to study."
At dinner, everyone was silent and just lowered their heads to eat.
After that, Qin Lan and Li Wenting seemed to have accepted their fate. Li Wenting even began to frequently look for Chen Dongfang to review the knowledge of the third grade of junior high school.

A few days later, Wang Hailu brought Meimei to the island.
After entering the house, Wang Hailu told Qin Lan the purpose of her visit, "I heard that Wenxi was admitted to Ningcheng No. 1 Middle School. Your family does not live in Ningcheng, and it is not convenient for Wenxi to study. I think it is better to give this place to Meimei and let Wenxi study in high school on the island."
Qin Lan was stunned for a moment and said, "Is it still possible to operate this way?"
Wang Hailu said, "I have inquired. As long as there is a connection, let Meimei go under Wenxi's name."
Qin Lan hesitated a little: "I'm afraid Li Wenxi will not agree. You don't know, she is very powerful, I dare not say anything to her."
"Sister, just tell me whether you agree or not. As long as you agree, I can get it done."
Qin Lan hesitated for a while and said, "Well, if Meimei can do it this way, can Tingting do it this way?"
Wang Hailu understood immediately and said anxiously, "Sister, I came up with this idea for Meimei. Don't just think about Wenting. Wenting is not as close to you as Meimei. Meimei is your niece."
Qin Lan didn't say anything, and Wang Hailu became even more anxious, "Sister, don't be confused. Meimei is your niece. So, you first bring Wenxi's admission notice."
As the two were talking, Li Wenxi came down from the building, and they were so scared that they dared not speak.
After Li Wenxi left the house, the two dared to continue talking.
Not long after, Li Wenxi brought two people in police uniforms to the yard and pointed at Wang Hailu and said, "Uncle police, it's her. She and Ms. Qin Lan are discussing how to replace my place for her daughter to go to Ningcheng No. 1 High School for high school."
