Chapter 9 The road is boundless
"Teacher, do you know me?" Lin Wanqing looked at the young teacher in front of her with confusion in her heart. After all, she had no impression of him.

"Well, aren't you Lin Wanqing? When your mother made a scene in the school before, the whole school knew you." After the teacher said this, a faint sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

When Lin Wanqing heard this, she sighed inwardly: "This is considered completely famous. It feels difficult to return to school again."

But then she thought it wouldn't work, so she changed her tactics and used the tactic of playing the victim.

Lin Wanqing talked for a long time. She said that she jumped into the river because her stepmother asked her to get married. After waking up, she felt that she still needed to study, so she came to the school to ask if she could go back to school. She also wanted to take the college entrance examination. She wiped her tears after she finished speaking to Teacher Wang.

Wang Fengxia looked at Lin Wanqing in front of her. She had thin shoulders and looked like a minor even though she was 18 years old. Her tone gradually softened. "It's not impossible to enroll. The important thing is that there is an entrance exam. After the entrance exam, the principal will come to see her."

After she finished speaking, she immediately thought of something and said, "But with your level, you probably won't be able to pass. You've already missed a lot of classes." Then she looked at her watch and left without waiting for Lin Wanqing to speak.

Lin Wanqing looked at her back, sighed softly, and walked out of the school with drooping eyelids, thinking: "I don't believe that the college entrance examination now will be as difficult as the college entrance examination in the future!"

At this time, she heard someone calling her. She turned around and saw that it was the girl she had saved at the market before. The girl ran to Lin Wanqing and spoke with a tone of surprise, "It's really you! I thought I was seeing things!"

Lin Wanqing felt her scalp tingling when she heard her call her benefactor. She smiled at her and said, "Just call me Wanqing." After that, she asked in confusion, "Isn't it class time now? Why did you come out?"

The girl smiled and said, "I'm going to the bathroom. By the way, are you studying here too?"

During their conversation, Lin Wanqing learned that the girl was called Wang Ying and was a senior high school student. She also told Wang Ying that she had dropped out of school because of her stepmother and now wanted to return to school, but it was a bit difficult.

"I heard from the teacher that if we want to take the exam, we need the principal's approval, but I don't have the textbook now and I don't know the scope of the exam..." Lin Wanqing sighed when she said this.

Wang Ying wiped her chin and said, "Don't worry. I have the textbook and some notes here for you to use first. As for me and my classmates, we can just read one. I'll talk to my brother about the principal's matter and see if he can help. My brother is very familiar with the principal."

After hearing this, Lin Wanqing's originally dim eyes suddenly brightened up. She was quite excited and shook her hand, "Thank you, Yingying! I really don't know what I would do without you!"

"Don't be so formal. I still want to thank you for saving my life before. This is just a small matter."

After Wang Ying finished speaking, she was about to return to the classroom. Before leaving, the two agreed to give the books and notes to Lin Wanqing the day after tomorrow. At that time, they would also tell her about the principal's news.

When Lin Wanqing returned to the village, she heard the aunties sitting at the entrance of the village gossiping.

An old lady in a grey coat spit out melon seeds and said, "Tsk, tsk, if it's up to you, you still have to be an official. Look at the village party secretary's house, it has a big tiled house and a TV. Many people from town come to his house, and there are cars parked in front of his house every day."

Before she could finish, the old lady next to her continued, "Not only the branch secretary, but also the branch secretary's daughter is like this!" She gave a thumbs up after saying this.

At this time, an old lady wearing a red headscarf saw Lin Wanqing, showing her yellow teeth and spitting, "Oh, isn't this the girl from the Lin family! Look how pretty she is, but she is a little small." After saying that, she shook her head, feeling a little sorry.

Lin Wanqing felt very embarrassed when she heard this, so she smiled and left. She met Nie Tianyin on the road, and she was still thinking about whether to say hello to him, when he walked towards her.

"I heard you were going to work in the factory in town?" Nie Tianyin looked at her with a fiery gaze. Lin Wanqing was stunned for a moment and asked him how he knew.

"Listen to what Qu Xiaoxiao said."

He lowered his face so that his expression could not be seen.

Then he added, "I'm going to work in the factory too. I'm in that garment factory, mainly helping to move goods."

Lin Wanqing nodded, but thought to herself: "This is too coincidental. If I go, he will go too. Does he really like me?"

She didn't show it on her face, but said, "That's good, we are from the same village so we can look after each other."

The two went home without saying much.

When I got home, I heard Liu Yumei and Lin's father arguing.

Liu Yumei gritted her teeth, glared at Lin's father fiercely, and shouted at the top of her voice, as if she was afraid that others couldn't hear her, "Lin Hai! You really have drunk some cat urine and don't know who you are. You even went to help Widow Sun carry water! If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would have been kept in the dark by you two!" After saying that, she spat at Lin's father.

Father Lin sat on the kang, smoking a pipe, with an impatient look on his face, "What are you talking about? What did you see? Isn't it just a favor from the neighbors? I really can't explain it to you!"

When Liu Yumei heard his words, she snorted with disdain, "Everyone in the village knows that Widow Sun is a slut! Her husband is dead, but she still likes to seduce other people's wives."

Widow Sun has always had a bad reputation in the village, mainly because she is beautiful and her husband has died. Many men covet her, which makes the women in the village disgusted with her.

Liu Yumei and Widow Sun were even more at odds with each other. Liu Yumei had suffered at the hands of Widow Sun, so she was annoyed by her. When she saw her husband helping her carry water today, she was sure to have a big fight.

...

Lin Wanqing was sitting in the yard listening to them arguing and felt very upset. "Stop arguing!" She said this without caring whether Liu Yumei looked happy or not.

She walked into the room with a frown, hurried to the closet, and rummaged through something in it.

"Found it!" Lin Wanqing's eyes lit up and the corners of her mouth rose. She was looking for the textbooks she used to read at school. She sat on the kang and flipped through them carefully. It didn't seem very difficult, and she was still confident about the entrance exam.

Liu Yumei leaned against the door and looked at her with a pouty mouth, saying, "Oh, you're interested in studying? Why do you still want to go to school? I tell you it's impossible. It's hard enough to support a child at home. Don't look at the useless ones. I think you should get married early. With the betrothal gift, your family can be richer."

"What does it have to do with you whether I read books or not? If you want to make your family rich, you can marry again! You are definitely better off than me!" Lin Wanqing rolled her eyes, and the words that came out of her mouth really hurt her heart.
