Chapter 9: 009
Li Meihua looked at Su Wenshan with sharp eyes, "What's going on? Didn't you say Su Ruan was making a fuss about getting married? How could she not want to?"
Li Meihua has been staring at Su Ruan for a long time. Su Wenshan has lived in the family hospital for seven or eight years. Most people in the courtyard think that the Su family is a family of three until Su Ruan is admitted to the county one high.
The little girl is good-looking and her grades are outstanding. No one can ignore it. It was only when Su Wenshan got divorced and had a daughter before that spread.
Li Meihua has seen many things in the world. Although it is not clear why Su Wenshan divorced, Su Ruan's situation is too obvious.
I heard that Su Ruan studied well before, and I thought that it would be good to wait for the university entrance examination. Even if my father doesn't care, I can earn a point on my own.
However, I didn't expect the world to make people, and when I was in the college entrance examination, there was a situation that caused me to fall directly.
Many teachers from No. 1 High School are very sorry. Colleagues and neighbors in the bureau and the yard also comfort Su Wenshan, saying that it is okay to delay for a year. 's university.
Everyone thought that Su Ruan would repeat the study, but this year, it was more than ten days since the school started, but Su Ruan did not appear.
Li Meihua always felt that something was wrong, so she asked Su Wenshan specifically, but Su Wenshan said with a sad face that Su Ruan's mentality collapsed after failing in the college entrance examination, and he broke the jar and broke the object and decided to If you marry someone, you don't even go to college if you say you die.
How many people feel sorry for her, the teachers are not steel, but in Su Wenshan's mouth, when Su Ruan encounters love, she is like a madman, she can't listen to anything , Su Wenshan's own father can't do anything, what can others do?
Li Meihua was still thinking of seeing Su Ruan again. Anyway, she had to persuade her well. If she didn't go to college, what good could be found in the county.
However, after Su Ruan didn't study in a high school, she didn't even come to the county seat, and she couldn't even see her.
I saw someone at this time, but found that things seemed to be different from what Su Wenshan said?
"Your dad said you were making a fuss about getting married, what happened?" Li Meihua asked Su Ruan directly.
Su Ruan looked at Su Wenshan in disbelief, as if to say, "Why do you slander me so much?" But there was something in his mouth, but tears quickly filled his eyes, biting his lips and saying to Li Meihua , "I... my dad was right."
The tone was choked with sobs, obviously she was greatly wronged.
Su Wenshan frowned, she looked like this…
Li Meihua blocked him directly, did not go to the bottom of it, just asked Su Ruan in a soft tone, "Then what are you thinking now?"
Su Ruan looked at Li Meihua and said seriously, "Aunt Li, I want to repeat the reading."
"I know that Tiantian's going to Shengde Bilingual School is very expensive. Mingfeng has signed up for interest classes in junior high school, and the family has to raise funds to buy a house. I heard from Auntie Du that the family owes a lot of debts..."
Su Ruan looked at Su Wenshan, and solemnly said what she had thought about for a long time, "I know that the Lu family's dowry is very high, but Dad, I still want to go to college, high school and university. I can save all the tuition fees by myself, and it will not cost my family a penny."
"As for the betrothal gift of the Lu family, I will make money to pay it back after graduation. I will pay back as much as they give. I'm sorry dad, I know I'm not filial, but I really want to study. It only takes four years and four Years later, I can double it and pay you back.”
Li Meihua was already furious when she heard it. There were several girls next to the stall who had listened to the whole process. One of the slightly fat girls said angrily, "What are you talking about."
"Your father is going to sell you for a betrothal gift. Wouldn't you be unfilial if you didn't let him sell it?"
"That's right, who doesn't expect their children to go to college, but there are still people who are not allowed to go to college to force marriage, looking at a decent person, I didn't expect it to be a feudal family long."
Someone whispered, "It's not the feudal patriarch, it's the director of the Education Bureau. This Su Ruan always ranked first and second in high school, and he was guaranteed to go to university." This person obviously knew Su Ruan. of.
"Well, didn't you hear, a daughter is studying at Shengde High School, and the son of junior high school is also enrolled in an interest class."
"This... stepmother."
"It's true, that Du Xiaohong who is very powerful." Kaiyun County is not big at first, and everyone who has a little face will know it.
"That's too much, even the director of the Education Bureau, such a person is actually in the Education Bureau?"
…
The surrounding discussions and contemptuous scrutiny made Su Wenshan's heart jump, but he held his own identity and couldn't reason with these people.
Besides Li Meihua is still confirming with Su Ruan, "You don't have a partner? Don't you want to get married?"
"Your grandmother came yesterday and said she's starting to prepare a dowry for you."
Su Ruan sneered in his heart, and said incredulously, "How is it possible, no!" Having said that, he looked at Su Wenshan's expression with red eyes and changed his words, "Well, I , I'm preparing a dowry."
The tone was sullen, tears were falling, "But I want to read."
Seeing this, Li Meihua already knew something, turned around and asked Su Wenshan, "Director Su, what's going on? Which family is Su Ruan going to marry? Tell me, I happen to know each other. There are many people, help you to inquire."
Of course Su Wenshan can't say it, the Lu family can't say it for the time being, and the Huo family has changed again, so you can't lie about this, otherwise Li Meihua will find him more troublesome.
Sighing at Su Ruan, she could only take the step back and sighed, "You child, I asked you to repeat the study before, but you said that you won't repeat it if you kill him, and you will marry someone..."
He had an expression of being pitted by his own daughter, "Forget it, it's best if you can think about it. Dad also wants you to repeat it."
Hearing this blunt statement, some people showed a disdainful expression, but Li Meihua did not become aggressive, but instead praised, "No, people who are too poor to eat are smashing pots and selling iron to make a sacrifice. College students come out, Director Su, you came out of college yourself, don't you know the benefits?"
"I've never heard of forcing children to study, but I've never heard of forcing children to marry for dowry. That's all things done by step-parents and step-mothers who have black conscience."
"Our Education Bureau can't have people with such scumbag thoughts."
The corners of Su Wenshan's mouth tensed slightly, this year is the critical moment for his promotion, and there must be no flaws in his reputation.
At the moment, she said helplessly, "How could I have that kind of thought? Besides, my family is only temporarily in difficulty, and I don't need to use softness to exchange dowry, she can get into a good university, I Happier than anything."
He wanted to ask Su Ruan to help him testify, but Su Ruan began to sell hair circles to greet everyone, and sighed, "A child of this age really has an idea every day, I asked her to repeat it before, she He said he wouldn't read it if he was killed, and he insisted on getting married... It's really heartbreaking."
Su Ruan pretended not to hear him and concentrated on selling things, no matter what Li Meihua was thinking, she didn't say anything on the face, instead said, "No, the children are ignorant and can't speak. Brain, we adults can't take it lightly."
The girls in front of the stall seemed to support Su Ruan and stopped making prices.
Su Ruan's heart warmed, and said, "It's the last point, they're all cheap, four for a dollar for ordinary, and three for a dollar with a pendant."
The enthusiasm of the guests rose instantly, Su Wenshan didn't want to tell her to leave, but people who heard the wind and watched the fun came a few times.
If there is something wrong, she said loudly, "Director Su, your daughter is really doing business!"
"It's fine if you don't take the university entrance exam, why can't you get into the steel mill?"
"I heard that you are planning to get married, so you won't be saving the dowry money yourself, I'm not saying, Director Su, even if you don't care about it, you still have to manage the girl's marriage. How can you let the girl earn money by herself? ."
"It's better to persuade me to repeat it for another year, but don't ruin the good seedlings who go to college, it's a lifetime thing."
…
Su Wenshan blushed when asked, and felt extremely humiliated, and explained forcefully, "The child just wants to be considerate of us and to help subsidize the family."
Then said to Su Ruan, "Ruan Ruan, hurry up and go home! Dad doesn't need your money."
Su Ruan finally sold out all the hair ties she took out, and hurriedly packed her things and walked over, as if she didn't hear what those people said to Su Wenshan, she just opened her mouth to defend him, " My dad always wanted me to repeat my studies, but Tiantian costs thousands of yuan for tuition a year. Auntie Du said that the family still owes a lot of debts to buy a house. ."
Su Wenshan:…
The explanation just now was in vain.
Someone immediately asked, "Didn't Tiantian get admitted by herself? Said that because of her excellent grades, Shengde School does not charge tuition fees, only accommodation fees."
Songde High School is a private school that just emerged in the 1990s. It is located in Donglin City. I heard that the teachers are very strong, and many foreign teachers are hired. The annual optical tuition fee is two or three thousand. , plus accommodation, living expenses and other miscellaneous expenses, there is no four or five thousand a year.
Compared with the cost of four or five hundred for ordinary schools, it can be said that it is an aristocratic school of this era.
Only those with very good grades can be exempted from tuition and living expenses, and there are many scholarships every year.
Su Tiantian is a freshman in high school this year and has already gone to Shengde High School. Du Xiaohong said that she was admitted.
Su Ruan looked at Su Wenshan in surprise when she heard the man's words, and was about to say "why are you lying".
The man immediately said, "I'll just say, Tiantian's grades in junior high school have always been average, Du Xiaohong also said that the cram school she was looking for during the summer vacation was very good, and when she asked her what the cram school was, she said no. come out…"
"I said Director Su, you are too biased, the second daughter spends tens of thousands of dollars to send to private high schools, the younger son also enrolls in two interest classes, and the eldest daughter does not even repeat in ordinary schools. Let…"
Su Ruan hurriedly defended Su Wenshan, "It has nothing to do with Tiantian going to a private school if I want to marry, it's because I see a heavy burden on my family, and I'm 18 again, I'm sorry to ask my family for money again. "
What kind of child would be embarrassed to ask the family for money? One is really poor at home, and the other is naturally mistreated.
Su Wenshan graduated from the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University in 1972 and returned to the county to enter the office. Du Xiaohong is also in the procuratorate. How can a family with two cadres have no money?
The man said to Su Ruan, "Son, why are you so embarrassed? According to you, those who go to college are over eighteen, and none of them ask their families for money?"
"Then Su Tiantian is admitted to university, can your father not pay her tuition fees? How come she doesn't graduate until 22?"
"Su Tiantian will pay more than 10,000 yuan after going to a private school for three years. I heard that you live and eat at your grandmother's house. Well, how much does it cost to re-read?"
"Director Su, you're not trying to sell your eldest daughter to read to the little girl, right? We can't have people with such an ill-behaved style in our education team."
Su Wenshan said coldly, "Director Wang, don't throw dirty water on me. When will I sell my daughter?"
Li Meihua also intercepted the man's words and said with a smile, "Director Wang, please don't misunderstand the Su Bureau, the girl must be asked to repeat it." Then she pulled Su Ruan and said , "Let's go, go home first."
Getting rid of Director Wang's entanglement, Su Wenshan breathed a sigh of relief, and frowned slightly when he looked at Su Ruan who was walking with Li Meihua.
Su Ruan noticed his gaze, turned back and said cautiously, "Dad, me, can I repeat it?"
Su Wenshan said helplessly, "You child, why is your mind so heavy, tell me if you want to repeat it, I advised you to repeat it before, but you are determined not to repeat it..."
Su Ruan ignored his last words and looked hesitant and scared, "But does our family still have money? I can really earn tuition by myself."
Su Wenshan looked at Li Meihua who was staring at him, and said with restraint, "What are you thinking about, I'd love to read it again, no matter what, you will have the money to study."
Su Ruan showed a bright smile, and then said embarrassedly, "Then, Dad, can I go to the city to buy review materials?"
"Just the set of Xue Li's "College Entrance Examination", we don't have it in the county, we have to go to the city to find it."
Su Wenshan must be responsive to Su Ruan at this moment, "Of course you can."
