Chapter 421: Open It
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Deputy Director Wei was speechless. She thought, “Those who didn’t Imow better would think that she’s getting married!”
“By the way, you said you were going to buy me a bag last time. When will it be ready?” Deputy Director Wei finally found a topic to talk about, and she immediately changed the subject. Moreover, she was genuinely looking forward to using her new bag. Ever since she saw it last time, she had been longing for it.
Back then, she gritted her teeth and spent so much money to buy it. When she returned home, she regretted that she had been too impulsive. But now, for some reason, almost a month had passed, not only did she not regret it, but she was also very anxious.
She wished she could use it immediately.
“That’s right!” Cao Meihua was also very anxious at the mention of this. “My younger brother got into high school, and I definitely have to carry a new bag to the banquet.”
Deputy Director Wei was speechless. She thought, ‘Why was it about the banquet again? Could we not talk about this?”
“No, I’ll remind them.”
“Knock knock…” There was a knock on the door. “Department Director Cao, your friend is here.”
“Come in.”
The office door was pushed open. Cao Meihua smiled when she saw Su Wen. “Speak of the devil. Su Wen, are you delivering goods to my doorstep?”
“I call this doorstep service.” Su Wen walked in with a smile, followed by her three younger sisters. Cao Meihua and Deputy Director Wei’s eyes were fixed on her, especially when they saw the exquisite gift boxes in her three younger sisters’ hands.
“Su Wen… What was this? Our bags?” Cao Meihua’s eyes were filled with disbelief. This…is a bag?
“Yes!” Su Wen motioned for her sisters to place the boxes on Cao Meihua’s desk.
“All three are here. This is for you, Sister Cao. This is for Deputy Director Wei.
This is for Zhang Miao.”
Su Wen separated each person’s box and placed them in front of them, keeping Zhang Miao’s separate.
Cao Meihua and Deputy Director Wei stared at the exquisite packaging, their gazes fixated. Wherever Su Wen placed it, their gazes followed.
“Open them up quickly and inspect them on the spot. We don’t support returns, but we offer a one-year warranty.” After Su Wen finished speaking, she sat down on the sofa with her sisters. Soon, a secretary came in with a teacup and placed it in front of the four sisters before leaving.
Su Wen looked around the office with envy.
This environment was much better than the countryside. However, she wasn’t worried. She would soon move to the county when she expanded her business of bags and the county’s big market was built.
Cao Meihua and Deputy Director Wei looked at each other and saw deep astonishment and shock in each other’s eyes. Then, they nervously and eagerly opened the layers of packaging. When the exquisite ribbon and the hexagonal snowflake appeared, it was so beautiful that one could not bear to open it.
The two of them thought silently in their hearts at the same time that they must bring the box home so that they could put some of their cherished items inside. The packaging should be kept too. The hexagonal snowflake could be used as an ornament, and the ribbons could be repurposed.

It would be good to make it a headband.
When they finally unwrapped everything and saw the high-quality, glossy bags inside, they both immediately felt that it was worth the money.
“It’s worth it!” Deputy Director Wei whispered to Cao Meihua, “Just based on the quality of the packaging, the money spent is definitely worth it.”
“Exactly! I’ll buy a new one in the autumn.” Cao Meihua’s family was rich, so she immediately shook her head. “No, I want to buy a new one every month.” What was happiness? Having a gift like this every month is happiness.
Deputy Director Wei was envious. She wanted it too, but she did not have the money. She would go bankrupt if she bought one month after another..
Chapter 422: One per Month
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Cao Meihua and Deputy Director Wei examined the bags for half an hour. From the outside to the inner lining, they looked at it back and forth, making Su Wen secretly chuckle. It reminded her of her own first bag-buying experience.
It felt like a completely different version of herself from another world.
Their bags were of different styles, and the way they carried them was also different. Su Wen personally demonstrated how to carry them and offered tips for maintenance.
“In any case, good things are very delicate. It’s best not to use them every day and to switch them out with other bags.”
Cao Meihua was speechless.
She thought, “This was great. Now I could buy a new bag every month.” In order to prevent her sister-in-law and mother-in-law from talking about it, Cao Meihua secretly made up her mind to bring her mother-in-law and sister-in-law into this. She wouldn’t even go back to her own house tonight. She would go to her mother-in-law’s house to show off.
She didn’t believe that someone like her mother-in-law wouldn’t be tempted.
Deputy Director Wei almost fainted when she heard Su Wen’s words. She teased her kindly, “Su Wen, you’re too good at doing business. You’re practically forcing us to buy new bags.”
“It’s not just about buying new bags, it’s buying a sense of happiness too. Besides, with these beautiful bags, you can confidently use them in any situation. Anyone who sees them would envy you. Even people who aren’t Imowledgeable about fashion can tell that they’re high-quality items.”
Deputy Director Wei agreed with this point. “You really know how to talk.
Alright, I’ll go back to my office and get the remaining payment for you.”
“Sure, thank you, Deputy Director Wei.”
“You’re welcome. I like it.”
Deputy Director Wei quickly returned with the money and settled the remaining payment to Su Wen. Cao Meihua was even more generous. She did not just settle the rest of the payment for herself and Zhang Miao. They even ordered a new one on the spot. As for the style, Su Wen could decide for herself.
After all, she was completely convinced by Su Wen’s ability and aesthetic taste. The finished product she received today was much better than she had imagined, especially the packaging. While Cao Meihua came from a well-off background and had married a well-to-do husband’s family, she had received all kinds of gifts, but she had never been this satisfied before.
Su Wen happily put the money into her wallet. Before she could put it away, her wallet was suddenly snatched from the side.
“Did you make this wallet yourself?” Cao Meihua’s eyes lit up.
Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only
“Yes!” Su Wen was stunned for a moment before she reacted. “Do you want one too? The wallet is a small item, I can offer you a discounted price!” She did not expect to be able to expand her business so soon.
She had been too narrow-minded previously. Other than a bag for women, she could make wallets too! They were practical and, most importantly, fashionable. In the 1980s, it was common to wrap money in handkerchiefs and hide it on your body.
She remembered when she first transmigrated here and gave 55 yuan to Zhou Hengyang, she took it out from a handkerchief. Honestly, while it was a common practice, Su Wen didn’t like it. It wasn’t aesthetically pleasing.
People from the countryside would definitely be thrifty. Even if you gave them a wallet, they wouldn’t trust it enough to put money in it. If they were on a long journey, they would definitely sew the money into their clothes with a needle and thread to prevent pickpockets.
However, it was different for people like Cao Meihua. They weren’t afraid of pickpockets because of the places they went in and out of. Moreover, when they took out exquisite, beautiful, and unique wallets in front of their colleagues, they would definitely become the center of attention. It would make her colleagues and neighbors envy her..
Chapter 423: Gifting Mother-in-law

“Yes, how much?” Cao Meihua only looked outside without opening the zipper to look inside. After all, it was someone else’s wallet. She had snatched it away instinctively earlier, which was quicker than thinking. Now she realized how awkward it was.
Fortunately, they were already familiar with each other. She liked Su Wen’s personality very much. She wasn’t the kind of person who was overly cautious and petty.
She was straightforward, generous, and easygoing. Most importantly, she was good-looking and pleasing to the eye. At this moment, Cao Meihua regretted that her younger brother was a little too young. If he was about the same age as Su Wen, he would have become her sister-in-law.
By then, she would be able to carry a new bag every day.
What a pity.
“Half the price of the bag.” When Su Wen quoted this price, she felt a little guilty. However, on second thought, she was aiming for the luxury market. If it was too cheap, wouldn’t everyone be able to afford it?
If everyone could afford it, what would distinguish it in terms of class and taste?
Thinking of this, her apprehension quickly faded.
Cao Meihua gasped. “Alright, you’ve got me hooked, don’t you?”
“Sister Cao, don’t worry. You won’t suffer a loss if you buy it. Not to boast, but the things I sell in the future will only increase in value, never decrease. Who knows, maybe the bag you buy from me will even appreciate over time! If you consider it as an investment, doesn’t that make it seem even more worthwhile?”
This was one of the marketing tactics for luxury goods.
“I’d be the ghost if I believed you.” Cao Meihua said this despite her words, she was still very generous. “Alright, give me two of those wallets.” “Thank you for taking care of the business, Sister Cao.”
“You really know how to do business.”
Fifth sister, Sixth sister, and Little Sister, who had been watching from the side, were dumbfounded. From the initial nervousness, to relaxation, to admiration, and finally to contemplation. Simultaneously, they made a silent pledge to learn more from their Big sister.
Especially Fifth sister, who had spent almost the entire summer vacation reading in her room and not going anywhere. This time, she followed her Big sister out and was very touched. She couldn’t help but ask herself if she should come out and interact with more people.
Or maybe she could think of a way to earn some pocket money?
Sixth sister thought, “She’s going to make a fortune.”
Little sister giggled like a little kitten who was cheating and whispered into Su Wen’s ear, “Big sister, can you buy me a lot of candies this time?” “How can I give you less candy?” Su Wen said dotingly.
“Hehehe…” Little sister smiled even more happily.
Sixth sister snorted coldly from the side upon hearing this, “Humph! If you don’t have enough brains, that’s one thing. But eating so much candy will squash whatever little intelligence you have left. Let’s see how you dare go outside and scare people.”

Little sister was taken aback, her smile immediately fading. She sat on the chair like a frosted eggplant, motionless.
Su Wen had never interfered in the matters between Little sister and Sixth sister. She pretended not to hear anything even if she heard it.
At this moment, Deputy Director Wei suddenly looked at Su Wen with a troubled expression. “Su Wen, do you have anything that’s suitable for people in their fifties or sixties? My mother-in-law is going to celebrate her 60th birthday soon. I want to get her a gift.”
Deputy Director Wei’s mother-in-law wasn’t just from any ordinary family. When she was young, she was actually the daughter of a warlord and had stayed overseas. Later on, due to political reasons, she suffered a lot. Although her health wasn’t good now, she remained a sophisticated elderly lady.
However, Deputy Director Wei did not have a good relationship with his mother-in-law. It was not that her mother-in-law was bad, but that their personalities and hobbies were different. They couldn’t get along, her mother-in-law disapproved of many things Deputy Director Wei did..
Chapter 424: Wallet
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
If she hadn’t followed Cai Meihua to buy the bag this time, she definitely wouldn’t have thought of buying it herself.
However, this also reminded her. Didn’t her mother-in-law dislike her for not being sophisticated enough previously? She bought a bag for her mother-in-law as a 60th birthday present. It would definitely make her happy. Cao Meihua seemed to understand this as well. She nodded as she listened at the side.
“Yes!” Su Wen, who had business come to her doorstep, wouldn’t miss this opportunity. “Tell me about your mother-in-law’s personality and hobbies. I’ll Imow what to choose.”
After Deputy Director Wei’s description, Su Wen had an idea and naturally Imew what to do. Those who had stayed abroad had a romantic and exquisite side to them, as well as a conservative and traditional aspect deep down.
Su Wen quickly came up with a design in her mind. She borrowed the pen and paper in Cao Meihua’s office and quickly drew a sketch.
Take a look at this. I’m thinking of using black for the main body of the bag. The shoulder straps, decorations, and pendants will all be red. The outer packaging will be all in red, perfectly fitting the theme of the aunt’s birthday.
What do you think?”
Deputy Director Wei was obviously pleased and nodded repeatedly. “By the way, can you speed up? My mother-in-law is celebrating her birthday on July 21st. I want to get it in advance and give it to her on her birthday.”
“Sure! No problem. I’ll speed up and work on it first.”
Cao Meihua was also very supportive. After all, Deputy Director Wei’s matter was more important. However, if she knew that after going to her mother-in-law’s house that night and hadn’t even had the chance to show off the bag yet, her mother-in-law snatched it away. Because there was only one bag, her sister-in-law had not snatched it away from her mother-in-law and got into a tiff, she definitely wouldn’t have thought so.
The bag that she had waited for a month to receive was no longer hers after just half a day.
The next bag would still take a month to arrive, and to make matters worse, her sister-in-law was eyeing it greedily. She even ran to her husband to complain, only to be laughed at by him. It made her furious.
“Alright, then I’ll take the deposit. Starting next month, I’ll get some ready-made products in advance. At that time, I won’t accept custom-made orders anymore! However, there were advantages to this as well. We’ll have stock in hand, so you won’t have to wait.”
“Stay for dinner tonight.” Cao Meihua warmly extended the invitation. In this era, the the greatest enthusiasm and the most intimate act to a guest was to invite the other party over for a meal.
“No, we have to go to the county high school.”
“Why are you going there?” Cao Meihua asked with interest.
Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only
Deputy Director Wei could not help but facepalm. “Here we go again.” She was going to start talking about her brother again. She should leave first!
We’re going to check the exam results.” Su Wen didn’t mention Fifth sister’s participation in the college entrance examination. After all, it was uncertain, and the likelihood of not passing the examination was quite high. It was better not to mention it. Hence, she came up with an excuse that they were going to check if Fourth sister, Su Xue, had been admitted.
She thought that would be enough after saying that, but to her surprise, Cao Meihua became even more enthusiastic. She held Su Wen’s hand and took the initiative to follow Su Wen to lead the way when she heard that she did not know where the county high school was. She stopped working and informed her secretary. Then, she rode her bicycle and brought Su Wen and her sisters to the county’s first high school.
This was the best high school in Clear Water County, and it was also the only high school. When they arrived, there was already a constant flow of people. Mainly, the exam results had been posted, and the school had set up a big bulletin board and posted it on it!
Many people came over to take a look at their specific scores first. This was better than waiting for the admission notice at home..
Chapter 425: Looking at the Results
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Cao Meihua led Su Wen to the bulletin board with familiarity. Along the way, she did not forget to mention that her younger brother was about to enter high school. Su Wen’s worldview was about to shatter.
Because Cao Meihua was too talkative. She kept talking all the way, completely overturning her usual mindset. She spoke so eloquently that her words contradicted her demeanor and image.
At this moment, the front of the bulletin board was surrounded by third-year students. Other people who did not participate in the college entrance examination, might be curious but not as proactive. However, it was different for the third-year students. Since completing their exams, they had been waiting, and their patience had worn thin.
Many students who had taken the exam had already come to the school to estimate their scores. They could roughly calculate how many marks they could get so that they could fill in the forms in advance and make plans. However, Sun Yunyun was the only one who didn’t come.
She was full of confidence in herself. She knew that she was the only one in the school who could get into university. Why should she mingle with those people who could only serve as a foil to Sun Yunyun?
It was too low.
Therefore, Sun Yunyun’s arrival immediately attracted the attention of everyone. Some asked her how she did in her exams, some asked her which university she wanted to go to, and some asked her not to forget her old classmates when she became a university student.
Sun Yunyun nodded arrogantly the entire time, which made some people angry.
“It’s not certain whether she can get in!” Someone couldn’t help but say something sour.
However, someone immediately jumped out to refute, “How could she not get in? The teachers have said that Sun Yunyun is the most likely among us to get into university.”
Di Juan, who had previously made a bet with Sun Yunyun, said angrily, “The teacher also said that it’s possible, but it’s not guaranteed.” “Anyway, you’ve already made a bet. You’ll find out soon enough.” “That’s right. Di Juan, I think you’re just jealous of Sun Yunyun.”
“Exactly. Why do you always pick on Sun Yunyun? Di Juan, you shouldn’t have done that.”
Di Juan was so angry that she almost fainted. “I… I just don’t like her.”
Sun Yunyun, who had basked in everyone’s admiration, finally opened her mouth and said with a smile, “Thank you all for supporting me. I definitely won’t let you down.”
“Then, Yunyun, which university are you going to?” A boy who had a crush on Sun Yunyun asked impatiently as if Sun Yunyun had already been admitted to a university and was free to choose any university she wanted.
Di Juan snorted coldly. It was simply a pain in the eyes.
“I want to go to the Normal University in the Province.” Sun Yunyun was full of confidence.
You’re amazing. Our Province Normal University is a prestigious institution, and only the most talented students get in.”
“Sun Yunyun, you’ll be a teacher after graduation.”
Di Juan, relentless as ever, interjected with a splash of cold water, “If someone like her were to be a teacher, she would definitely lead the child astray.”
“Di Juan, you’re going too far.”
“That’s right. You have to apologize to Sun Yunyun.”

“Yes, apologize.”
“Why should I apologize? I haven’t said anything wrong.” Di Juan was furious. She genuinely thought Sun Yunyun was hypocritical and disgusting. “I’ve never seen such a hypocritical and disgusting person like her. Ugh! Just looking at her makes me want to puke.”
Sun Yunyun’s face turned pale from the scolding and her body swayed. She looked extremely weak. The numerous admirers felt even more sympathetic, while Di Juan’s annoyance grew.
More and more people were protecting Sun Yunyun. In the end, Sun Yunyun was surrounded by a group of male students, while Di Juan and a few other female students were pushed to the back, causing chaos around the bulletin board.
A fight almost broke out..
Chapter 426: Did Not Do Well
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“Alright, stop arguing. What’s all the fuss about? Why are you all gathered here?” With the form teacher’s roar, the surrounding students all quieted down.
A trace of displeasure flashed across Sun Yunyun’s face. She was also increasingly dissatisfied with her form teacher. She could tolerate his strictness during normal times, but now that she was about to graduate and bring honor to the whole school, he dared to undermine her.
“Form teacher, will Sun Yunyun be able to get into university this time?” a bold person asked cheekily.
“She must have gotten in, right?”
“What do you guys think?” the form teacher roared loudly.
The outburst of anger made even the slowest among them realize something was off.
Sun Yunyun stood in the center of the crowd, her face pale. What annoyed her even more was that she had just seen Su Wen among the crowd. This made her feel embarrassed immediately, especially losing face in front of Su Wen. It was something she couldn’t accept.
She immediately resented the form teacher.
What did I do wrong, form teacher?” Sun Yunyun felt so wronged that tears rolled down her cheeks. ‘Why are you going to embarrass me like this?”
“You didn’t do anything wrong, but how have I made you feel embarrassed?” The form teacher was already in his fifties, so he knew well the personalities of his students.
Previously, he had turned a blind eye and was unwilling to care.
“Just because I didn’t flatter you like the others?” The form teacher’s frustration had risen, and he spoke quite directly.
The form teacher’s old face was extremely ugly. He panted heavily and looked like he would faint at any moment. He had been teaching for so many years, but he had never felt so embarrassed. As expected, one had to be down-to-earth when studying and taking exams. One could not take advantage of loopholes. Sun Yunyun had been ordinary in answering questions in class and doing homework, but always managed to excel in exams. However, when it came to something as important as the college entrance examination, she would immediately show her true colors.
This meant that the previous exams weren’t coincidental or based on cheating. Thinking about it this way, it would be strange if the form teacher could give Sun Yunyun a good look!
This time, Sun Yunyun was even more embarrassed. Her face was burning as if someone had slapped her hard.
Everyone around them quieted down and watched with bated breath. They did not understand why the form teacher would throw such a big tantrum.
Many boys felt indignant on Sun Yunyun’s behalf, but they dared not to say anything, let alone argue with the form teacher. On the contrary, the female students present couldn’t help but cheer in their hearts. The form teacher finally couldn’t stand it anymore and was going to teach the shameless Sun Yunyun a lesson.

The form teacher was absolutely right. Sun Yunyun excelled at feigning helplessness and innocence. Yet, she always came in first in every exam, just like a good role model for top students.
Sun Yunyun excelled at feigning helplessness and innocence. Yet, she always came in first in every exam, just like a good role model for top students.
Despite being displeased with it, there was nothing they could do. It left them with no room for complaint.
“Teacher, I… I really didn’t. You misunderstood me.” Sun Yunyun desperately tried to salvage her dignity, which made her look even more fragile. She even stole glances at Su Wen from time to time, but just as she looked over, she happened to meet Su Wen’s gaze.
In an instant, Sun Yunyun felt both anger and embarrassment, a deep sense of humiliation gnawing at her. With her most miserable side being seen by the person she hated the most, she wished that Su Wen would be blind.
Su Wen calmly looked at Sun Yunyun in the crowd. She couldn’t help but feel that she had made the right decision to come today. She had actually encountered such a situation. In novels, Sun Yunyun had the halo of the female lead. Wherever she went, she would be the center of attention that everyone wanted to admire and adore..
Chapter 427: Not Full Marks
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi- Bo Studio
But now, it seemed like that was not the case at all!
“Lost in thoughts?” Cao Meihua couldn’t help but ask, “Do you know her?” “We’re from the same village.”
“I think it’s more than that, right?” Cao Meihua wasn’t a child. There was clearly something wrong when they looked at each other just now. “She seems to hold some resentment towards you.”
Her eyes were gloomy it seemed as though water could drip from them. A young girl of her age having such intense emotions surprised Cao Meihuan immensely. At this age, shouldn’t she be innocent and carefree? Was she really growing old?
“Oh! She wanted to steal my husband, but I didn’t agree. So she practically wishes for my death, hoping to take my place as the third party.” Su Wen’s tone was as if she was chatting casually, without any other emotions.
Cao Meihua was momentarily stunned before she burst out laughing.
“Hahaha… So that’s how it is. This is… This is really interesting.” After laughing, she suddenly paused and teased, “It seems like your husband is quite something! Otherwise, how could he bewitch such a young girl?”
Zhou Hengyang’s appearance appeared in Su Wen’s mind. He had a tall and slender figure, handsome facial features, and a calm and reserved personality. His sharp and determined gaze, the deep eyes that could make one feel an illusion of deep affection and fondness when they looked at you. It was a captivating allure that ensnared you without you even realizing it. Indeed, he could be called exceptional, not to mention his potentially bright future.
Hence, Su Wen nodded. “Indeed, Sun Yunyun has good taste.” If it weren’t for Sun Yunyun dreaming of Zhou Hengyang’s prosperous future and his exceptional good looks, she wouldn’t be sticking to him like glue.
Cao Meihua was speechless as she fell silent. She thought, “Who would be so shameless as to praise her husband?” She had really witnessed it today.
“Big sister, let’s go home.” After looking at the results, Fifth sister returned with a calm expression.
“How is it?” Su Wen asked expectantly. However, when she saw that Fifth sister had no hint of joy on her face, her heart immediately sank.
Surely, it meant she hadn’t passed! Although she had long been mentally prepared and did not want to put pressure on Fifth sister, she was still a little disappointed to know that she did not pass.
“Never mind, not passing is alright, so be it! Work hard in the future. Anyway, it’s normal for you to not be able to pass the exam since you’re only third year of middle school. It’s not normal for you to pass!” Su Wen was afraid that it would strike a blow to Fifth sister’s confidence.
“It’s not that.” Fifth sister frowned and her expression became even more serious.
“Not what?”
“I did pass, but my results weren’t great.”
Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only
Su Wen was shocked at first, but then she was delighted. Fifth sister was so impressive. However, after the surprise, her smile turned into a concerned frown.
In that case, I suggest you think it over again. To be able to pass the exam meant that your results were very good. But you took a big leap all at once, without a split foundation. If you can be patient and study well, and then take the college entrance examination, you’ll definitely be able to get into a good university in the future.”
Cao Meihua, who had been listening on the side, was completely confused. At first, she could understand what she meant and wanted to say that her brother had also entered high school. However, as she listened further, things started to sound off. She endured it and did not say anything. She patiently continued to listen.
Although Fifth sister was very depressed, she did not change her mind. “But I still want to go.”
“Why don’t you think about it again?” Su Wen didn’t want to force her younger sister, but she was worried that Fifth sister would be too impulsive and would regret it if she took the wrong path. There was a huge difference between an ordinary university and a top-tier institution..
Chapter 428: Unsettled
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Clearly, by putting in a year’s effort, she could easily get into a top-tier institution. Why did she have to calm down and put in more effort now?
“Are you afraid of burdening the family?” Su Wen considerately helped Fifth sister find the reason. She patted Fifth Sister’s shoulder and encouraged her, “Don’t worry about that. Now that everyone in the family can earn money, we don’t have to worry about affording your education.”
“I know.” Fifth sister nodded. Big sister, Second sister, and Third sister were already earning money. She was thinking that once she returned home, she might figure out a way to earn some living expenses during the summer vacation.
To lighten the burden on the family.
“But I still want to go. I’ve already made up my mind. I worked hard for the exam this time, although it’s a pity that I didn’t get full marks for Chinese. But it’s a fact that I’m not good at writing essays. Even if I study for another year, I still won’t be able to do it. Instead of doing this, I might as well go straight to university. This is also the reason why I changed my mind and took the college entrance examination.”
She couldn’t keep dragging this on, especially after witnessing her grandparents’ attitude yesterday. Her urge to pursue this path had grown even more urgent.
Cao Meihua’s eyes were vacant, and her mind was blank.
“Wait…” Su Wen felt that it was a little difficult to breathe. She could not help but press her hand against her chest and take a deep breath as she asked, “You say…You didn’t do well in the exam?”
“Yes!” The way she looked at her Big sister made Fifth sister grow even more ashamed. She did not dare to look at Su Wen. She ended up lowering her head in shame, felt lost and uncomfortable under Su Wen’s scrutiny.
“So… When you say you didn’t do well, you mean you didn’t get full marks in Chinese?” Heavens! Please save her! She was still a child.
Su Wen had arrived at an incredibly unbelievable truth. A truth that would make an ordinary person want to vomit blood and give Fifth sister a good beating.
“Yes! Big Sister, don’t be angry, I… I’ll work harder in the future.”
I’m not angry…” Actually, she was very angry, okay? How can she bully people like this? “What about the other subjects? For example, mathematics, history, geography, and so on?”
“Oh! The rest are full marks.” She had memorized all the books, she would definitely get full marks. Actually, she had a premonition right when she came out of the examination hall. In the end, it was exactly as she had expected.
Su Wen was speechless. She thought, “No, I have to calm down.” Then, she said, “Little sister, come and support me for a moment.”
“Okay, Big sister.” Little sister ran over to support Su Wen happily and did not forget to make a face at her Sixth sister. She thought, “Look! Big sister liked me more.” She knew Sixth sister couldn’t compare.
As expected, Su Xiaoya was right.
Cao Meihua’s mouth was so long that a duck egg could be stuffed into it. She wanted to faint even more than Su Wen.
Meanwhile, Su Wen and the others felt like they were in a dreamlike state, while the crowd had yet to disperse. Sun Yunyun was on the verge of crying in the arms of the class monitor.
Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only
That’s right! Form teacher, isn’t it inappropriate for you to say that about a girl like Sun Yunyun?” The class monitor couldn’t stand the girl he liked being bullied. He finally opened his mouth to protect Sun Yunyun behind him.
“Besides, our entire school is waiting for Sun Yunyun to bring glory to us! Even if you’re in a bad mood, you can’t target innocent people.”
“Bring us glory?” The form teacher sneered, “How can she bring us glory? Stop daydreaming. Forget it, this matter is over. I won’t tell you guys too much. Anyway, you have all graduated. In the future, be a good person and don’t go astray. Stay on the right path.”
He wasn’t targeting Sun Yunyun, nor did he need to vent his anger on such a
young girl. He just didn’t want Sun Yunyun to go down the wrong path and always try to take shortcuts..
Chapter 429: Gained Fame
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“What’s going on?”
“What does the teacher mean?”
Unease filled everyone’s heart as they murmured in hushed voices. Just then, someone incredulously exclaimed, “Sun Yunyun’s scores aren’t high! She’s not even as high as Di Juan’s!”
“This is impossible.” Sun Yunyun screamed. She no longer pretended to be weak. She pushed the class monitor away roughly unceremoniously and rushed to the front of the bulletin board. Subconsciously, she looked for her name from the first row according to the previous order.
This was because her name had always been ranked first in the previous
exams.
But it wasn’t her!
Sun Yunyun’s face turned pale, and her body trembled like a sieve. Cold sweat covered her face. She looked down unwillingly. It wasn’t her, and it wasn’t her even further down. In the end, the three words Sun Yunyun appeared under Di Juan’s name, which was not in the top ten.
She…She hadn’t been admitted to university? How was this possible? She had dreamt it, she had seen herself as a student of Normal University in her dreams.
Her eyes must have been playing tricks on her. Sun Yunyun, still clinging to hope, looked at the first place again.
It still wasn’t her name.
Fifth sister Su?
Who was Fifth sister Su?
There was no one with that name in the school, yet it felt familiar.
Suddenly, Sun Yunyun turned around and glared at Su Wen and her sisters not far away. She finally understood why Su Wen had come here.
In an instant, an overwhelming wave of resentment, anger, disappointment, and humiliation assaulted her.
“Hahahaha… Didn’t someone bet with me? Come on! Fulfill the bet!” Di Juan had been depressed for three years, and she could finally vent her anger and hold her head high. “Tsk! So you didn’t even get into university!”
“How embarrassing.”
“She’s actually bragging.”
“Most likely, she cheated on all her previous exams. Otherwise, why was she always good on the practice exams but failed when it counted for real?”
You’re right. I’ve already said that Sun Yunyun’s exam results are fake. You guys never believed me? I have a point. If her exam results are her true ability, why does she stutter every time she is asked a question in class?
“Exactly. It’s often the class monitor who secretly gives her hints.”
Everyone looked at Su Wen with a strange gaze and dug up old scores. Not to mention many girls who had long been unhappy with her, even some boys who had fallen head over heels for her and had been charmed by her were now blushing and couldn’t bring themselves to say a word.
The class monitor turned around and ran away in shame. He didn’t even look at his score.
Sun Yunyun couldn’t stay any longer. Even though she was thick-skinned and had a strong mentality, she was extremely embarrassed at this moment. Not to mention the lost bet with Di Juan. She had been so confident, hoping to make some money from Di Juan, but now it was all gone.
Sun Yunyun struggled to squeeze out of the crowd and ran away.
Clear Water County had gained fame, enormous fame. It was even known nationwide. This small county with a rather unremarkable geographical location. It had never been eye-catching. Not to mention the country, even in the province, few people knew about it.
However, now Clear Water County has become the topic of everyone’s discussion.
It suddenly burst into the limelight.
Ever since the national college entrance examination was reinstated, not a single student in Clear Water County had been admitted to university. But now, Clear Water County has astounded everyone, not just passing the exams but achieving remarkable results that stunned the world.
Boundless glory.
Even the people of Clear Water County walked the streets with pride, let alone Trinity village. Whether visiting relatives and friends, farming, or going to the market, they would ask if anyone knew the top scorer of the college entrance examination who had made headlines on the radio and newspapers.

He’ll say, “She’s from our village, she has been calling me uncle since young!”
They’ll say, “Do you know that Clear Water County has produced a top scholar?”
She’ll say, “She’s from our village, I’m her auntie.”
They’ll say, “Oh! Do you mean Fifth sister Su? I know, I know. I am her neighbor. She’s been smart since she was young. I’ve long seen that she’s a talent.”
They’ll also say, “What expert said that she was a genius? Will she be rewarded? Full scholarship plus a stipend? Could a single person’s stipend support the entire family? Oh my god, they’re going to be rich this time..”
Chapter 430: Su Hengyang, You’ve Gone Too Far
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Everyone in Trinity village was jubilant, and guests came in waves. First, there were school administrators, officials from the education bureau, followed by village leaders, county officials, radio station representatives, newspaper journalists, and members of the publicity center…
Even some relatives and friends who hadn’t been in touch for 800 years, Su Xuewen’s classmates, Su Wen’s classmates, Su Qing’s and Su Xiu’s classmates, and even the parents of the mischievous kids who had been cheated of snacks by Sixth sister in village…
The stream of visitors was endless.
It continued from June and lasted until the end of July. Zhou Hengyang and Xu Xiaoxiao had already finished dealing with the Tian brothers and Shi Caiyue’s human trafficking case. They had repaired the courtyard walls, increased the height, and replanted the cacti. They were about to return to the Province.
Matters were awaiting him in the Province, so he had to go back.
On the day of his departure, Su Wen personally sent him to the village entrance and waited for him to leave so that they could celebrate. However, just as his car had departed and turned back toward her, he got out of the car with a cold expression.
“Are you very happy?” Zhou Hengyang had one hand in his pocket, his handsome face cold. He was just short of writing the words “I’m not happy” on his face.
The triumphant smile on Su Wen’s face that had yet to disappear seemed to have been frozen. “No… Not at all!”
The male protagonist had already learned how to make a comeback. It was getting harder and harder to cling onto a golden thigh.
Su Wen complained in her heart, but her expression remained unchanged. She gave Zhou Hengyang a sweet smile and comforted him, “You’re overthinking. You’ve been a great help to our family recently. If you didn’t come back, I really wouldn’t know what to do!”
“Don’t you still have Shen Erkui?” Zhou Hengyang pursed his thin lips slightly. Even though he had a calm and reserved personality, he was still angered by his wife.
He had already made it so obvious, yet she was still pretending.
The recent situation at home was truly overwhelming. The night the fire broke out, she had been genuinely scared. Zhou Hengyang’s heart ached, fully aware that his little wife used to be extremely fearful of him. Although she wasn’t afraid now, she still consciously avoided him.
Did she really think he didn’t know?
However, when he thought about how his wife thought she was smart enough to avoid him and secretly reveling in it. Zhou Hengyang’s cold and tough heart immediately softened like a cloud for some reason.
Just for her, he could be soft.
In fact, Zhou Hengyang had endured great difficulties over these days. It made him worried, made him go crazy late at night, and drove him to distraction. Moreover, he couldn’t understand when exactly he had lost his heart to his little wife, who was right in front of him yet he couldn’t hold, embrace, kiss, and cherish. The torment he felt as a man was beyond measure.
Yet even though his heart ached, he managed to hold back with his iron self-control. He even didn’t return to his room to sleep. Instead, he shared a room with that irritating brat, Xu Xiaoxiao.
It was because he knew that his self-control was on the brink of breaking, let alone sleeping in the same room and bed. He didn’t want to hurt her before she trillv fpll for hinn
He couldn’t bear to let his wife become nervous and guarded because of his proximity, especially after she’d been startled.
Zhou Hengyang couldn’t bring himself to make her anxious. But still, he was bemused, amused, and irritated by her little secret actions behind his back.
Like right now, as soon as he left, his wife immediately snickered.

“That’s my second brother.” Su Wen only felt that Zhou Hengyang’s gaze on her was so hot that it made her feel uncomfortable all over. She even felt a little unwilling to let him go.
But for the sake of him earning money and becoming wealthy as soon as possible, and to become the richest, she thought it was better for him to leave quicldy!
“Is that so?” Zhou Hengyang took a step forward. “You don’t like him at all? Do you even dislike him?
“Su Hengyang, you’ve gone too far.” Su Wen exclaimed with great momentum, “Since I regard him as my second brother, how can I possibly dislike him?
You’re too overbearing and unreasonable..”
