Chapter 56: Being a Stepmother 24
Ye Zhiqiu never doubted his own ability. When he heard the notice came, his expression remained calm and he did not forget to thank his aunt.
Han Dalin stood up in shock: "Really?"
He heard Han's father say that Ye Zhiqiu was taking the college entrance examination, but he didn't take it seriously. In his mind, he had studied in school for nine years and his education level was not high. Ye Zhiqiu had never been to school for a day, so how could he pass the exam? He would just go there to accompany him.
Because of this reason, after he came back, although Han's father asked him to take care of Ye Zhiqiu, he never mentioned this matter. Who would have thought that he would really pass the exam.
The Ye family was also excited, and none of them believed that Ye Zhiqiu could pass the exam. Maybe someone with the same name passed the exam, but the admission letter was sent to the wrong place.
Ye Zhiqiu rolled his eyes: "If you don't believe me, you can go back with me and take a look."
The Ye family hesitated whether to go and watch the fun, but Han Dalin couldn't sit still. Why eat? He hurried back to get the notice. He could eat anything, and he didn't need this meal.
Ye Rong didn't expect that both of her cousins had received admission letters. She wanted to find out from her aunt which school Ye Zhiqiu was admitted to, but unfortunately her aunt didn't answer her questions.
That's not right. Auntie can still make people angry: "That's right. The postman is afraid that someone will damage the notice, so he insists on having the person in person sign for it. How would I know that no one can collect it on your behalf? If you want to know so much, hurry up and go and see it."
Ye Changtian's family was willing to pamper their granddaughter who grew up in the city, but what did this have to do with her? No matter how rich they were, they couldn't lend her a penny, and they couldn't get any credit, so they didn't bother to please her.
"Uncle, aunt, your daughters are more capable than each other. You may have been mean to Zhiqiu in the past, but that's over. You must treat her well in the future, otherwise you won't get any credit from her and it would be a waste of more than ten years of raising her."
The aunt of the original family was also willful. She didn't care how powerful Ye Rong's in-laws were. After mocking her, she didn't leave out the Ye family. "Oh, look at my mouth. What do you mean by raising her for nothing? The Han family gave a lot of betrothal gifts. Zhiqiu has been helping the family with housework since she was a child. It's not a loss to raise ten daughters like her."
Ye Changtian's face was red with anger, but he couldn't argue with a woman, especially his nephew's wife. Huang Lamei wanted to argue, but she didn't know how to refute.
She is powerful in her family because she controls the family's financial power, and the family has to listen to her, so naturally no one dares to refute her. Others will not indulge her, and she can only fumble when she meets a powerful person.
Everyone in the room watched helplessly as the aunt from the same family made sarcastic remarks and left triumphantly. It was winter and no one was watching, but if it was summer, she would have embarrassed herself in front of the neighbors on both sides.
Ye Rong was really curious about Ye Zhiqiu's test results, and despite Zhan Peng's objection, she insisted on going to Hanjia Village. She also dragged Ye Zhu along, and since she was older than his sister-in-law, Zhan Peng was too embarrassed to lose his temper, so he could only follow the two women obediently.
The others looked at each other and decided to do what they should do. They had treated Ye Zhiqiu badly in the past, and had caused such a scene during their marriage. If he really got into college, they would not have the face to approach him and get close to him.
They didn't want to, but Ye Erniu and his wife couldn't help but think more. If they had known that their daughter had this ability, they should not have forced her to marry Han Dalin.
Ye Si Niu finished the last bite of rice in his bowl, and then took the last chicken claw, chewing it while walking. He didn't care about other people, he had to accompany his daughter to Hanjia Village.
There are too many bad people out there, and in order to prevent his daughter Zhuzhu from getting married before she goes to school, he, as a father, has to work harder. It's not that he is mean-spirited, but some people have done this before, but the target was an educated youth, and the gender was also changed.
When Ye Siniu arrived at Hanjia Village, Ye Zhiqiu was already surrounded by the crowd.
"Zhiqiu, which university did you get into?"
"What does the notice say? Can you show it to everyone?"
"By the way, when are you going to school? What will happen to Han Yue if you go to school?"
There were too many people talking, and she didn't know who to reply to first. In the end, it was Han Dalin who rescued her. He had a cold face, and without saying anything, the villagers automatically made way for him.
After the two of them walked away, everyone started talking.
"Do you think we can't keep Dalin as our daughter-in-law?"
"Shut up, what nonsense are you talking about? Be careful that Dalin's father will cause trouble for you."
"I'm not talking nonsense. Look at those educated youth. They don't want wives or men after they get into college. They even have children. Ye Zhiqiu and Dalin don't have any children either. It's strange that they can keep such talents."
"It's hard to say. No wonder Dalin looked so unhappy just now."
"No, we have to remind Dalin's father about this."
"Let's go together."
After the crowd dispersed, Ye Siniu approached Ye Zhu and said, "Girl, do you know which school Sister Qiu got into? Is it better than your school?"
Ye Zhu shook her head: "There were too many people, I didn't see it."
"Is that so? Then what are you waiting for? Let's go to her house and have a look." Now that he was here, Ye Siniu didn't want to make a wasted trip. He had to collect the first information and bring it back, lest he would be asked by his family and not know anything.
Ye Rong also wanted to know the answer, so he pulled Ye Zhu and followed silently. Zhan Peng could only follow reluctantly. He was very satisfied with his current life. It didn't matter whether he went to college or not. His family could arrange a job for him, so why did he have to compete with others?
Ye Rong knew what he was thinking, but in her heart, finding a good man was important, but having her own abilities was more important. She wanted to marry a rich man, and she didn't want to be looked down upon by her husband's family, so she had to go to this university.
If she fails this year, she can try again next year. If she fails next year, she can try again the year after next. She will never give up. At this time, she didn't know that she only had one chance. If she failed the exam next year, she would not be eligible to register.
Ye Siniu started shouting from a distance: "Zhi Qiu, show me your notice quickly." He didn't know what politeness was. Without waiting for Ye Zhiqiu to open the door, he pushed open the gate and walked into the house.
"Fourth Uncle, I didn't do well in the exam. I only got into a school in Jiangnan, which is not as good as the universities in Beijing." She would never say that she had never thought about going to the cold Beijing. From the beginning, her goal was the southern cities.
She doesn't want to go to the capital to eat dirt for the time being. If she really wants to go, she has to wait a few decades. By that time, there will be more greenery and no sandstorms, so she can consider it.
Ye Siniu didn't understand, and he really thought Ye Zhiqiu didn't do well in the exam.
Ye Zhu and Ye Rong looked at the admission letter and knew that the school Ye Zhiqiu was admitted to was also one of the best in the country. Even if it was not as good as the two universities in Beijing, it would have no problem ranking in the top three.
There was envy in the eyes of the two, especially Ye Rong, who had not received the admission letter yet. He couldn't help but wonder if he had failed the exam.
With this idea in mind, she had already started to plan for the college entrance examination next year. She ignored the fact that they were not close and could not help but ask: "Zhiqiu, can you lend me your review materials?"
Before Ye Zhiqiu could speak, someone outside the house shouted, "You can't borrow it."
