After dinner, Yu Jin'e and Shen Zhong accompanied Zhao Dafa to drink tea and chat in the yard.

Shen Jiagan took the remote control toy car sent by Zhao Da and happily went out to show off to his friends.

Shen Hongmei and Shen Hongju were cleaning up and washing in the kitchen.

"Hongju, are you under a lot of study pressure lately?"

At the dinner table, she clearly noticed Shen Hongju's depressed mood.

"Fortunately, there are many people in the school who work harder than me, especially the top grader in our class. He only sleeps three hours a day. Even the teacher said he is dying."

Shen Hongmei said hurriedly: "Don't be like this. Results are important, but if your body collapses from exhaustion, everything will be equal to zero."

"Ok, I know."

"So how do you get along with your classmates? No one bullies you, right?"

Shen Hongju has been introverted and shy since she was a child. Shen Hongmei is worried that she is being excluded and isolated by her classmates at school, and she refuses to tell her family, so she can only keep it in her heart.

"No, it's the last year. Everyone is busy reviewing and getting grades, so there is no time to do anything else."

This is true.

For rural children, the college entrance examination is the only way to change their destiny.

Shen Hongmei felt relieved, and then talked to Shen Hongju with great interest about the school where she was going to borrow a student.

After she finished speaking, Shen Hongju whispered: "Sister, I don't want to borrow it."

"Why? Do you know how many people want to get in but can't get in? Entering Yucai High School is equivalent to half stepping into the threshold of university. If you didn't have a good foundation, Human Resources Yucai would not accept you."

"I'm afraid that if I don't pass the exam or if I don't do well, I'll let you down."

"Don't think blindly, your grades are so good, there's no way you can fail the exam."

"Then what if you just fail the exam?"

Hearing this, Shen Hongmei turned her head and said, "What's wrong? You suddenly said something discouraging. That's not what you said before. Didn't you say you must pass the exam?"

Shen Hongju lowered her head, her childish face full of distress, "Sister, I envy you so much."

"My parents are always whispering in my ears, asking me to use you as a role model. They think that because I have studied more than you, I should be more promising than you in the future."

Only then did Shen Hongmei realize that she was the source of her sister's depression.

Comparisons between the two sisters will inevitably be made by their parents and relatives.

For Shen Hongju, who is in adolescence and only feels confused and uncertain about the future, this comparison is a heavy burden.

"You envy me, and I also envy you for being able to study and go to college. Look at how many girls in our village have no chance to study. They drop out of school early to work. Without a diploma, they can only do the hardest and most tiring work. When they get older I have to get married, and I have no freedom or choice in this life."

"Hongju, although you are struggling and tired from studying now, compared with them, you are already very lucky."

"Don't listen or care about what others say. Just read your book and get into a good university."

"The sky is high and the sea is vast outside. Study the major you like, do the job you like, fall in love with the boy you like, get married and have children. No one can control your life."

School teachers will also repeatedly emphasize the benefits of reading, but they are not as detailed and beautiful as what Shen Hongmei depicts, which makes people yearn for and yearn for.

At this moment, Shen Hongju suddenly had a direction and goal for the future.

After letting go of her worries, she became lively and lively, "Sister, my brother-in-law is so kind to you."

Shen Hongmei held the loofah cloth while rinsing the edge of the pot and spat: "He just came to the house for the first time today, how could you tell that he was well?" "When eating, he helped you pick up the vegetables, and before eating, mom was afraid of my brother-in-law. I was hungry, so I brought him some fried peanuts, and he gave you all the peanuts he peeled, and I saw them all!"

"It's just your sharp eyes."

"That's right, I have very good eyesight. I can tell at a glance whether my brother-in-law treats you well or not."

Shen Hongmei's face was filled with shame, but her heart was as sweet as candy.

In the afternoon, Zhao Dafa and Shen Hongmei left for the city, but the news that Yu Jin'e's family had found a rich husband spread like wings.

Relatives from Shen Yu's family came in droves, some asking whether it was true or false, some congratulating, and some asking for help.

……

Shen Mingzhu came home from get off work. As soon as she got off the car, she saw Yu Jin'e standing at the door of her house, with two bulging snakeskin bags at her feet.

Seeing her return, Yu Jin'e immediately greeted her with a smile on her face.

"Mingzhu, you are finally back. I brought you some newly harvested peanuts this year, as well as some local eggs and local duck eggs. By the way, there is also a jar of local honey, which was harvested by Hongmei's father on the mountain some time ago. , it’s not worth much money, it’s just a little thought, thank you for the marriage proposal for my Hongmei.”

For city people, these are rare good things. Shen Mingzhu accepted them unceremoniously and invited Yu Jin'e into the house to drink water.

However, Yu Jin'e refused and said, "I won't drink anymore. I have something else to do. I'll come and talk to you after the sky changes."

With that said, Yu Jin'e raised her feet and started to leave.

Shen Mingzhu called to the other party, "Aunt Jin'e, is there anything urgent you need to do? How about I give you a ride."

"That's good, I'll go to Ginkgo House to have dinner with Xiao Zhao and talk to him about something by the way."

Shen Mingzhu took the things back to the yard and drove Yu Jin'e to the Ginkgo Hotel.

On the way, she found out Yu Jin'e's purpose of going to the city without much effort.

It was just a way to give her something, and the main purpose was to get Zhao Dafa to arrange work for several nephews.

Shen Mingzhu slowed down the car and chatted with Yu Jin'e, "Aunt Jin'e, do you know why Brother Zhao broke up with his previous partner?"

Yu Jin'e was naturally very interested.

Shen Mingzhu then told Yu Jin'e about Zhou Huai's calculations and petty things, picking and picking them up as if it was fun.

"...Aunt Jin'e, Brother Zhao looks easy-going and easy to talk to, but in his heart he has a clear conscience. He can see clearly who is greedy for his money and who is sincerely living with him."

"The reason why Zhou Hui was kicked out was because of the word greed. Brother Zhao took the initiative to give him something, and reaching out to ask him are two different things."

"Once or twice is okay, but if you reach out for her more often, your relationship will gradually change, and you will end up like Zhou Hui in the end. Everyone breaks up."

Yu Jin'e's old face changed.

When they arrived at the hotel to have dinner with Zhao Dafa, Yu Jin'e only asked about her youngest daughter Shen Hongju's transfer to another school, but did not mention anything about asking Zhao Dafa to arrange jobs for his nephews.

As your daughter gets older, she finally finds a rich husband, so don't let her get lost.

After returning, Yu Jin'e told Shen Zhong exactly what Shen Mingzhu told her.

The couple is worried.

If you don't help, you'll offend your relatives, but if you help, if you make your son-in-law unhappy and he doesn't want to have sex with your daughter, wouldn't that be a big deal?

The couple discussed it all night and came up with a brilliant idea. (End of chapter)
