Just as everyone was discussing this, a teacher from the school's admissions office came in and took them to the office for a detailed investigation.
Under the teacher's questioning, the lies of the three members of the Hua family were quickly exposed, and the truth gradually surfaced.
It turned out that the Hua Lina who came to register was actually Hua Lifen. She had indeed stolen Hua Lina's admission notice and came to college under her name.
It turned out that Hua Lina's grandfather was a rich peasant before liberation, and he had a wife and a concubine.
Hua Lina's grandmother was a legally married wife, five years older than Hua Lina's grandfather. Their marriage was arranged, and they only had one son, Hua Mingshe.
Hua Lifen's grandmother was his grandfather's concubine, a singing girl his grandfather met outside. The two of them had four sons and two daughters. Hua Lifen's father, Hua Jianshe, was their eldest son.
Hua Lifen's grandmother was a scheming woman. She was good at observing people's expressions and coaxing the old man into doing what she said.
Therefore, my grandfather always had a grudge against his wife and her son Hua Mingshe, and he never liked them.
After liberation, the country implemented monogamy. For those polygamous marriages that had already become a reality, if the woman did not file for divorce, the original marriage relationship could be maintained.
However, Hua Lifen's grandmother was dissatisfied. She encouraged her grandfather to start abusing his wife, and even beat and scolded Hua Mingshe frequently herself.
The old lady, who had been weak all her life, finally showed some strength. She took the initiative to file for a divorce with the old man. After the divorce, she took Hua Mingshe away from the Hua family and used her dowry to open a small grocery store to make ends meet.
Around 1956, when Jiangxi Province was reforming private businessmen, some of them were assigned to work in the supply and marketing cooperatives. After all the hard work, Hua Mingshe finally got his reward and became a formal employee of the supply and marketing cooperative.
Hua Lifen's grandmother brought her sons to the supply and marketing cooperative to make trouble, clamoring for her eldest son Hua Jianshe to replace Hua Mingshe and work there.
Hua Mingshe and his mother firmly disagreed. Hua Lifen's grandmother even asked her sons to beat Hua Mingshe. Old Mrs. Hua had no choice but to report the matter directly to the police station.
The police station detained the sons born to Hua Xiaoqiong for a few days, and only then did Hua Xiaoqiong dare not be so arrogant.
But every now and then, they would encourage the old man to go to their house to ask for alimony. If Huamingshe didn't give it, the old man would lie at his doorstep and scold him for being unfilial.
After the old man finally passed away, and with the start of the movement, Hua Xiaoqi's family settled down for a few years. Hua Mingshe's family also experienced a period of peace.
However, things can be unpredictable. Two summers ago, a sudden flood struck Jiangxi Province, and Hua Lina's mother was accidentally swept away by the flood. In a hurry, Hua Mingshe also jumped into the water to save her.
As a result, not only was Hua Lina's mother not rescued, but Hua Mingshe was also washed away by the flood.
At that time, Hua Lina's brother Hua Zhiqiang was in the Northwest Army, while Hua Lina was working in the countryside in the county.
After her parents passed away, Hua Lina took over her father's job and continued to work at the supply and marketing cooperative.
Hua Xiaoqi's family is lazy and can only earn a few work points a year. Seeing that Hua Mingshe's family has only one orphan girl, they come to the house every day to beg for money.
Hua Lina had no choice but to close the door and move into the single dormitory of the supply and marketing cooperative.
Last year, the college entrance examination was resumed. Hua Lina took the exam and was admitted to Peking University with excellent results.
When Hua Xiaoqi's family heard the news, they were filled with jealousy and hatred.
Especially Hua Jianshe's daughter Hua Lifen, who was the same age as Hua Lina. However, because Hua Xiaoqie favored boys over girls, she was forced to drop out of junior high school after only half a year and go home to earn work points.
Moreover, not long ago, Hua Xiaoqie actually accepted a high betrothal gift of 500 yuan from a lame man in the neighboring village, and the wedding will be held in May.
Seeing Hua Lina become a golden phoenix flying out of the mountain valley, while she was about to marry a cripple who was thirteen years older than her, her heart was filled with resentment and jealousy.
At first, Hua Xiaoqie planned to give her job to Hua Lifen's younger brother Hua Mancang after Hua Lina went to college.
For this reason, the family gritted their teeth, hardened their hearts, and shamelessly went to the house to recognize their relatives, carrying two old hens that were still laying eggs.
But what they didn't expect was that after Hua Lina received the admission letter, she had already sold her job for 800 yuan.
Hua Xiaoqie was so angry that she fainted on the spot and had to recuperate at home for several days.
Hua Lifen felt that her chance to turn things around had come, so she encouraged her parents and joined forces with her concubine Hua to come up with this method of replacing one thing with another.
Just one week before reporting, her best friend Wang Xiaohua, who married and moved to a neighboring province, came to her house to visit her. Hua Lina was very happy and enthusiastically prepared a sumptuous lunch for her.
What she never expected was that Wang Xiaohua accepted Hua Lifen's bribe and put sleeping pills in the water she drank.
When she woke up, she found herself taken to the old house where Hua's concubine lived and was locked up.
She overheard that Hua Xiaoqi wanted her to replace Hua Lifen and marry the lame man who paid a high price for the bride price.
Hua Lina was shocked and angry, she knew she had to find a way to escape as soon as possible.
That afternoon, all the members of the Hua family went to work. Hua Lina took advantage of the time when Hua Xiaoqie went out to wash clothes, wore the rope apart, smashed the window frame with a chair, and ran out.
She ran back to her home first and found that her admission letter and the several hundred yuan she had prepared for travel and living expenses were gone.
She hid the family's passbooks and valuables in the interlayer of a broken box in the utility room, and these were not taken away by the group of people.
She didn't realize at the time that someone was going to go to college in her place. She thought Hua Xiaoqi was just greedy and wanted to covet her property and then sell her to make money.
The registration was about to begin, but I couldn’t go to university without an admission letter.
So she ran to the police station and reported the case, hoping that the police could help her get her admission letter back.
However, when the police went to arrest Wang Xiaohua, they found that she had already returned to the neighboring province.
This made Hua Lina very frustrated because she knew that if the police sent people to the neighboring province to investigate, their return would definitely delay her reporting time.
When Hua Xiaoqi was caught, the old lady Hua refused to admit that she had stolen Hua Lina's money and tickets, and said that she had good intentions.
My granddaughter was going to college, and I wanted to go see her to repair the relationship between the two families, so I went to her house to find her.
What she didn't expect was that when she got home, she found that the door of Hua Lina's house was ajar and Hua Lina had fainted. She took Hua Lina home to take care of her out of kindness.
Due to the urgency of time, the police station issued a letter of introduction to Hua Lina and gave her some travel expenses so that she could go to Peking University to explain the situation. Once the matter was investigated, her money and notice would be recovered.
