Transmigrated to a Period Novel as the Genius Antagonist's Birth Mother

Chapter 28: Look at the University, Newspaper

Despite it being the weekend, many students were busy studying. They were engrossed in their books and didn't pay much attention to their surroundings.

As they explored the campus, Cen Huai'an and the others fell silent, their eyes taking in all the sights. They were so enthralled by what they saw that they hardly spoke a word.

Chu Xia doesn't say anything either, so she leads them around.

Liangzhou University is also very big; it's simply not possible to finish strolling around in one morning.

She asked a few university students for directions and showed them the most iconic structures on campus, like the library, the largest teaching building, and the cafeteria.

The library was packed with students; there wasn't a table or chair to spare, and many people sat on the floor.

Seeing the endless rows of books within the library made it look like an infinite sea of knowledge, and Cen Huai'an couldn't tear his eyes away.

Lunch was purchased with a combination of money and food tickets, courtesy of some university students. After the meal, Chu Xia felt tired and leaned back in her chair. She asked, "Do you still want to explore?"

Cen Huai'an and Brother Bang uniformly shook their heads.

On the way back, Cen Huai'an couldn't hide the excitement in his eyes, and Brother Bang kept his head down and was silent, his feet pointing to the ground without speaking.

Kuaizi and Moazi were also excited, even unconsciously born in the heart of yearning, but quickly pinched off again.

People like them had no chance of attending school, let alone a university.

There was still time, so Cen Huai'an did not go home and followed Brother Bang to his house.

Once inside, Brother Bang said to Cen Huai'an, "I want to go to university."

Walking through the university, who wouldn't rise up to aspire to the heart?

Cen Huai'an said to himself in his heart, I must go to university, but also the best university!

There and the family complex and the textile factory are two completely different worlds, which also attracted the hearts of these children.

Brother Bang thought about it the entire way back, and finally, he found the courage to say it. He heaved a sigh of relief, believing that education must be useful if so many people pursue it.

Although he didn't fully understand, he decided to join in; he believed that he would eventually come to understand.

Cen Huai'an understood Brother Bang's thoughts; they thought alike.

But there was the reality of going to school.

"Brother Bang, will your grandmother agree?"

Brother Bang held his head bitterly and said, "I don't know."

Cen Huai'an and Kuaizi waited outside the courtyard while Brother Bang went to ask his grandmother.

Soon the house resounded with his grandmother's hoarse and resolute voice: "No! Books are harmful; you can't read them, and you can't go to school!"

Brother Bang didn't know what to say; the house resounded with crackling sounds, and Brother Bang was beaten out.

He flashed an indifferent smile at Cen Huai'an, spread his hands, and said, "Looks like I can't go to school with you."

This moment of Brother Bang's smile made Cen Huai'an couldn't help but frown. "Don't smile if you don't want to."

Brother Bang rubbed his hands cheekily and said, "It's fine; I wasn't planning to go to school in the first place."

Cen Huai'an still has a frown on his face when he gets home. Chu Xia is doing math at home and raises her eyes to see him and rubs his hair. "What's wrong? Weren't you still happy in the morning?"

"Brother Bang wants to go to school, but his grandmother won't let him."

An old woman with stubborn thoughts, Chu Xia thought for a moment and said, "You let Brother Bang say this; he goes to school in order to find his mother, to see if she got her comeuppance. If he doesn't go to school, he will always be in Liangzhou City and will never find the mom that ran away."

Cen Huai'an: "Will it work?"

Chu Xia didn't have a clue and just said, "You guys try; if it doesn't work, then think of something else."

Cen Huai'an told Brother Bang. In addition, Chu Xia also asked Cen Huai'an if Brother Bang's grandma had any friends that she had made and asked Brother Bang's grandma's friends to follow along and persuade her with gifts.

For example, "You have only one grandson, Xiao Bang; can you bear to let him be a scrap collector for the rest of his life? Selling things? You don't want him to make a name for himself and make that woman regret her death later."

"Brother Bang is so old and has never been to school; picking up scraps and selling things is not an easy task. Can't you see that he often has injuries on his body? This is your only grandson, in case someone else misses."

Brother Bang showed a particularly lost look at home.

Cen Huai'an relayed Chu Xia's words one by one to Brother Bang and added, "My mom gave you the idea; you can't blame my mom if it's a success or not, or both of us won't be friends from now on."

Brother Bang naturally knows that Chu Xia is helping him for Cen Huai'an's sake, and he remembers the sentiment.

"I'll be as filial to your mom as my grandmother in the future!"

Cen Huai'an immediately said, "No need; my mother has my filial obedience; just remember that my mother helped you."

As the days passed by, before Chu Xia could ask Cen Huaian and Brother Bang if they had succeeded, she received something from her mother-in-law again.

However, this time it wasn't from Chen Zhengnian, and the letters she had sent out remained unanswered.

It wasn't until late September, when she saw a report in the daily newspaper she subscribed to, that Chu Xia's heart skipped a beat.
