Chapter 39 An Rubin

Chapter 39 An Rubin

"Brother, is that guy okay?" In the back seat of a slowly accelerating taxi, An Rubin twisted his body and looked out the rear window toward the exit of the train station. There, a wretched middle-aged man who had suffered a severe blow was struggling to get up from the ground.

"Why bother about him?" An Rusong looked at his fist. He had punched hard just now, and the skin on his fist was broken. It hurt a little. "You should be worrying about your brother."

He stretched out his broken hand in front of his sister and shook it vigorously: "See? I'm the innocent one who got hurt."

An Rubin curled her lips mischievously and gave him a big eye roll.

As the only girl in the family, she has always had a good relationship with An Rusong. In the past, every time An Rusong returned to Gangwon Province, he would secretly bring her gifts. Of course, An Rubin didn't know at this time that the brother next to her was no longer the brother she was familiar with.

"Okay, tell me, what happened to that uncle just now?" An Rushong asked after a simple joke.

Maybe the girl in front of him is not his real sister, but at least he has received the body and memories of his previous incarnation. Subconsciously, he still feels close to this sister, especially when they are really getting along with each other, this feeling of closeness is quite strong.

The reason why he fought with that wretched middle-aged man at the exit just now was because he was dominated by this emotion. Well, this sense of closeness made him feel a deep-seated anger when he saw An Rubin being harassed.

Faced with her brother's question, An Rubin did not hide anything. She briefly recounted the whole story.

In fact, the matter was very simple. The middle-aged man and she were both in a car on Gangwon-do, with their seats next to each other.

It was An Rubin's first time traveling far away from home, so she was inevitably nervous. The middle-aged man, perhaps because he saw that she was traveling alone and dressed like a student, kept talking to her.

The girl was not so scheming. Along the way, under the middle-aged man's persuasive words, she told him the purpose of her visit to Seoul.

As a result, after learning about her situation, the middle-aged man began to seduce her, saying that he could introduce her to a leisurely but high-paying job in Seoul and could also solve his food and accommodation problems.

Although the little girl didn't have much scheming, she was not a fool. On the contrary, her academic performance was very good. No matter whether it was Chinese, mathematics, English, social sciences, natural sciences, etc., her grades were among the best in the school. In the memory of her previous life, the little girl was determined to be admitted to Gaoli University.

So, the little girl didn't believe at all the colorful soap bubbles blown by the middle-aged man.

However, what she didn't expect was that although she didn't believe it, the middle-aged man was still pestering her. Just now at the exit, it was that guy who insisted that she follow him. When An Rushong arrived, the two of them were arguing about it.

After listening to his sister's explanation of the whole story, An Rusong hadn't had time to speak before the taxi driver in front of him interrupted and said, "Little sister, if you meet such people next time, just shout loudly, don't be afraid of losing face. These guys are cowards. They seem to be very arrogant, but they are actually very timid. Once you shout, they will be scared."

"Did you hear that?" An Rusong rubbed his sister's head and emphasized, "Remember these words. If you meet such a person again in the future, just shout them out loud."

An Rubin nodded repeatedly to indicate that he remembered it.

Seeing her nod, An Rusong asked again, "Also, are you wearing your school uniform? Don't wear this when you go on a long trip in the future."

It's no wonder he brought this up, because the school uniform An Rubin was wearing was not suitable for long distance travel, especially on a train. The hem of the brown pleated skirt was 15 centimeters above the knee, and when she sat down, she would be exposed if she wasn't careful.

Moreover, the girl has long legs and healthy wheat-colored skin, and wears a pair of white tennis shoes. No wonder she was targeted by the weird uncle.

Hearing this topic, An Rubin's face turned slightly red. She awkwardly twisted her hands together, secretly glanced at the driver in front, then turned her head away as if to cover up and looked out the window.

What kind of person is An Rushong? He has a very smart mind and seems to have hundreds of thoughts in his mind. Especially when facing women, his brain works very quickly.

Just by looking at his sister's shy and awkward look, he understood what was going on.

Needless to say, this is the first time for the little girl to leave the shabby place of Wontong-ri and come to a big city like Seoul. As a girl, who doesn't want to dress up beautifully at this time? Not to attract other people's attention, at least not to let others see that you are rustic, right? However, the family is poor, and the only clothes that can really show off and make people look not so rustic are this school uniform, so.
Reaching out and patting the back of the driver's seat, An Rusong said, "Go to Sinsadong Boulevard."

After continuing to participate in the profit sharing of the Dihuo plug-in, An Rushong is actually not short of money now. If he is asked to buy a house of hundreds of square meters in Gangnam District, Seoul, he certainly cannot afford it, but if he wants to buy some trendy clothes for his sister, there will be absolutely no problem.

So, an hour later, when the brother and sister strolled along the boulevard and finally walked into a "Xinsha Beef Intestine" store, An Rubin had changed her appearance. She had transformed from a rustic student girl into a pretty urban girl.

However, An Rubin was obviously still not comfortable with her current attire. She sat opposite the small double booth, and from time to time she looked down at her clothes, tugging at them here and there, as if her clothes were fidgeting.

The dark grey short-sleeved cotton T-shirt she was wearing was of the brand "Cherrykoko". This T-shirt and a pair of white cropped trousers cost 24.4 won, which was more expensive than her tuition for the past semester.

An Rusong didn't care about her anxiety, he just took the menu and ordered food. This guy didn't even ask his sister what she wanted to eat, everything was decided by him.

After he finally finished ordering, the waiter bowed and left the two of them. An Rubin then asked in a low voice: "Brother, these clothes are too expensive. They cost a lot of money."

"You don't have to worry about these," An Rusong interrupted her and said, "Now you, Brother Rusong, are no longer the loser you used to be. I can make money now, so you don't need to worry about money. You just need to think about yourself."

As he spoke, he pulled out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and lit one for himself. He glanced at his sister across from him and asked, "I haven't asked you yet, what? Are you really not going to school anymore?"

When he brought up this topic, An Rubin pursed her lips and said nothing.

"I remember you said in the past that you wanted to apply to Gaoli University and the law department there, and that you wanted to be a prosecutor after graduation?" An Rusong continued, "Why, you don't have confidence now?"

An Rubin squeezed her hands between her legs and rubbed them vigorously. After a long while of grunting, she said weakly, "Mom said that the family doesn't have the money to support me to continue to study in the remaining year of high school, so she told me to either get married or go out to work and earn money. I don't want to marry the guy that Dad likes, so I might as well go out to work and earn money."

There were no ashtrays in the restaurant, so An Rusong flicked the ash into the water glass in front of him and said, "Well, you're in Seoul now, your parents can't control you anymore, and you don't have to worry about what they can do to you. Just tell me the truth, whether you still want to continue studying."

"I've asked around," An Rubin hesitated for a moment, "The annual tuition for the Law School of Korea University is 2070 million won. Even the Law School of Yonsei University, which doesn't have as good a humanities department, costs 2030 million won per year."

She paused, as if she had thought of something, and looked even more exhausted. "Besides, even if you graduate from law school, you can't be a prosecutor. You still have to take the judicial examination. Even if you can pass, you have to pay at least 4500 million won for the examination fee. Well, this doesn't even include your daily food and clothing expenses."

Ok?
An Rushong was a little surprised. He never realized that his sister was really determined to become a prosecutor. Otherwise, she wouldn't have asked so many questions about the fees.

That's right, in this damn South Korea, everyone knows that prosecutor is the most promising profession, because this industry not only has high status and high income, but also great power, and most people dare not provoke it.

But the problem is that the money required to become a prosecutor is not something that an average family can afford.

Before 04, the judicial examination for prosecutors was open to the public. Everyone could sign up and take the exam, but the pass rate was very low.

Since 04, the registration standards have been raised, requiring not only TOEFL scores but also university law credits. Earlier this year, another condition was added, that is, only law school graduates are eligible to apply for the judicial examination. In other words, people without law school experience cannot even register.

As for the law school experience, just as An Rubin said, after four years of law school study, the tuition alone will be nearly 1.2 million won. Taking into account other miscellaneous expenses, a student will spend at least million won, which is more than one million RMB.

In addition, you need to pay fees to take the judicial examination. Even if you pass it in one try, you still have to pay 4500 million won, which is nearly RMB.

By this calculation, the total amount is 140 million RMB. To be honest, how many ordinary families can come up with such a sum of money?
So, this is also one of the main reasons why An Rubin gave up his ambition.
