Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Wei Qiushuang had placed high hopes on his younger brother…
With the help of their grandparents, his younger brother would be able to obtain everything that he could not have in the future.
Gu Cheng was jealous.
Hence, when he had some small achievements in his career, he said to Gu Jue, who was not even 15 years old, ‘Studies are not important. Money is the most important.
‘I’ll teach you how to do business. In the future, you will be able to get everything you want…’
He tried to brainwash his younger brother so that he would not follow the path that Wei Qiushuang had planned for him.
Unfortunately, Gu Cheng realized that his younger brother, Gu Jue, had an astonishing talent for learning!
At such a young age, Gu Jue had already learned the knowledge he had only learned in university.
He knew that if this continued, Gu Jue’s future would definitely be limitless and bright!
At that time, everyone around him would say that Gu Jue was indeed the biological son of the Gu and Wei families. He was even more outstanding than his brother!
Gu Cheng didn’t want to be weak. He didn’t want to live under his younger brother’s light.
It was enough for the Gu family to have him alone!
Hence, at that time, Gu Cheng had thoughts about Gu Jue that he shouldn’t have.
That was how Gu Jue got hit in the head and thrown into the river after returning to his hometown to visit his grandmother…
…
In a small noodle shop on Changheng Street in Qingyang County.
After listening to Sister Lan’s words, Xiao Bai had already made a decision.
He wanted to learn!
He wanted to learn as quickly as possible. Only by making himself useful could he repay Sister Lan’s family for their kindness to him.
Therefore, Lan Shu brought Xiao Bai to a school in Qingyang County to register the next morning.
This was because Lan Shu could not guarantee that she could go to school every day.
Usually, she had other things to do, so she chose to study at night.
The night school fee was not high. It was 50 yuan per pax, including the study fees and school fees.
After paying and receiving the textbooks, they only needed to follow the weekly schedule in the future. There would be three hours of classes from Monday to Friday night.
On the way back, Lan Shu didn’t forget to buy exercise books for her and Xiao Bai in a stationery shop near the school, as well as the new atomic pens that had only been produced in the past two years, which would become ballpoint pens in the future.
When everything was bought, Lan Shu couldn’t help but sigh as she looked at the stack of books and various school supplies in her hands.
She had just graduated from university and was about to start studying again…
When the two of them returned to their rented place with their textbooks, Xiao Bai locked himself in the room to read.
The regular duration for night school was two years, and he didn’t have that much time to waste.
He would take the exam as quickly as possible and get his diploma!
Seeing how much Xiao Bai loved to learn, Lan Shu was very gratified.
Originally, she had planned to flip through the textbooks to see how the questions of this era were different from what she had learned.
But when she entered the room and poured herself a glass of water, she heard the sound of a tractor outside.
Big Brother was here!
Lan Dazhuang brought not only two blankets but also dried vegetables, cured meat, flour, corn, a small amount of fresh vegetables, and a big bag of peanuts.
When the old couple found out that their daughter was going to stay in the county, Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang were just like Lan Dazhuang. Their first reaction was to worry about her.
However, when they thought about how their daughter could find a job in the county, they were happy for her.
Although they could afford to take care of their daughter and she did not have to work, they were getting older by the year. When they were old, who would take care of their daughter?
Even if their sons treated their younger sister well and were willing to take care of her, things were unpredictable.
In the future, their three sons would each get married and have a family. With wives and children, who could guarantee that they would be able to support their sister for the rest of her life?
Therefore, it was a good thing that their precious daughter could stand on her own.
Even if the old couple couldn’t bear to part with their daughter, they had to support her to be independent!
There was not much they could do for their daughter now. The things they sent from home represented their intentions and encouragement.
Lan Shu watched as her brother carried the blanket into the room and laid it out.
Then, he brought peanuts, cured meat, and vegetables into the room.
Lan Shu: “…”
This was where she was going to live!
Lan Shu could not get used to the smell of cured meat.
“Brother, leave the things outside first. I’ll bring them in after I tidy up the room.”
As Lan Shu spoke, she immediately took the things from her brother’s hands and put them back into the sack. She leaned it against the wall at the door and placed them there.
Lan Dazhuang didn’t care where his little sister put the things. As long as he delivered them, his little sister would be able to eat them in the future.
Xiao Bai, who was next door, heard the sound and walked out of his room.
When he received the blanket from Brother Da Zhuang, the Lan family’s kindness toward him made him feel indescribably complicated.
His biological brother’s actions toward him were actually inferior to someone who had found him.
This made Xiao Bai feel depressed and suffocated.
On Lan Dazhuang’s side, apart from delivering things to his little sister today, he also wanted to confirm that his little sister was really working at the paper mill.
Lan Shu had promised to prove it to Lan Dazhuang yesterday. Since they had the tractor today, the siblings immediately went out to the paper mill.
With Brother Da Zhuang accompanying Lan Shu, Xiao Bai did not have to worry about what would happen to Sister Lan when she went out. Hence, he did not follow her. Instead, he returned to his room to continue reading.
Although there was a lot of content in the books and it would take others several days to read just one book due to the thickness, Xiao Bai realized that he already knew all these things after flipping through the pages!
While he was reading, the relevant memories that were originally sealed seemed to be flowing out bit by bit.
Xiao Bai felt that perhaps he did not need to study hard for two years according to the standards of night school.
He planned to take the exam after reading these books.
…
On the other hand, Lan Shu rode the tractor to the gate of the paper mill.
She was here yesterday. The guard at the door remembered her, so it was not difficult to enter.
Seeing that his little sister was familiar with the person at the gate of the paper mill, Lan Dazhuang finally believed that his little sister was working at the paper mill!
When he got back, he would immediately tell his parents the good news!
Oh, right!
Second Brother and Third Brother still didn’t know that Little Sister was working now. They had to know about this!
Therefore, after the trip to the paper mill, the siblings went to the supply cooperative at the nearby Linfu Street to make some calls.
“Second Brother, Lan Shu has a job now! She’s working at the paper mill in Qingyang County! She could join the paper mill despite only graduating from primary school. Hahaha!
“Third Brother, she found a job on her own. Isn’t she amazing? And she only graduated from primary school! Who’d dare think that this could happen?”
Lan Shu noticed that the employees in the supply cooperative were looking at her strangely when they heard her brother’s words.
Lan Shu was speechless.
Hearing her brother’s words, Lan Shu couldn’t tell for a moment whether her brother was praising her or mocking her.
Yes, she… only graduated from primary school.
