1977: It all started with a wrong love

Chapter 41 I Don't Believe

"Mom, today I happened to meet Mr. Luo Fei from the Admissions Office of Tsinghua University. I chatted with him for a while and asked him about various aspects of the college entrance examination regulations for next year. I didn't want to help find out whether the school has introduced a special recruitment policy. I wanted to secretly arrange it for my little sister, but guess what I accidentally found out..."

After the eldest son of the Zhong family called his mother out of the house.

The two of them went straight to the small courtyard outside the house, put their heads together and whispered and chattered.

Zhong Xiuping followed out on tiptoe like a cat, hiding in the corner and listening attentively.

When she heard that her elder brother was actually worrying about her going to college next year, her nose couldn't help but feel sore.

The feeling of being surrounded by family love is really addictive!

Mother Zhong said angrily: "Just get to the point. I'm upset and don't want to hear gossip..."

The Zhong family's eldest son paused for a moment.

After an awkward laugh, I quickly got to the point:

"Mom, Mr. Luo Fei from Tsinghua University's admissions office told me that this year's top science student from Qinxi Province is a strange man. With only the knowledge of a junior high school graduate, he not only won the top science student award, but also when he was reported for possible cheating and the provincial examination office came to his house and gave him another set of test questions to test the authenticity of his results, he easily spent more than 40 minutes to get full marks in four subjects: mathematics, physics, chemistry and English, shocking the teachers at the Qinxi provincial examination office."

"A while ago, teachers from the admissions offices of Tsinghua University and Yanjing University came all the way to recruit this student, but the student actually turned the tables and directly received admission letters from both prestigious universities. This means that after the start of school next year, Tsinghua University and Yanjing University will have to compete again for the question of which university Qinxi's science champion will attend..."

"what?!"

"There is such a mess!!"

"It's just a mess..."

"What do the teachers in the admissions offices of two prestigious universities, Tsinghua University and Yanjing University, do for a living? What do they think of the national college entrance examination system? Is it just a child's game?"

"Too many people wantonly challenge the newly restored college entrance examination system by a single candidate."

"How unbecoming!"

"Why has the school never reported such a terrible thing? Why haven't I, your mother, ever heard any report from any relevant personnel?"

"This is outrageous. What are Luo Fei and Tsinghua University doing? And Yanda University is actually joining in the fun. There is absolutely no discipline at all..."

Before Mrs. Zhong had even finished listening to her eldest son's words, she became furious.

The voice was so high-pitched, like a wild cat whose tail was stepped on.

The eldest son of the Zhong family was so anxious that he slapped his own mouth, realizing that he had not been clear about the main points in what he had just said.

He ran home in a hurry to report the whole story to his mother.

What's more, the question of whether the admission systems of the two prestigious universities, Tsinghua University and Yanjing University, meet the requirements is not clear.

"Mom, oh mom, don't be angry, don't be angry, don't get angry, son, the key point I want to report to you is not here, but the Qinxi Province science champion himself..."

"What? Does that top scholar really have three heads and six arms, and two more heads than ordinary people?" Mother Zhong snorted angrily and interrupted the eldest son of the Zhong family again.

do not know why.

She was subconsciously resistant to the truth her son was about to reveal.

She was not stupid. If it was just the eldest daughter who was outside and heard the gossip about the admissions of two famous schools in Beijing, why would she act like a gossipy woman and come over here specially when it was dark outside, and pull her out of the house to talk mysteriously, deliberately avoiding the youngest daughter?

The answer clearly implies that Qinxi Province's top science student is closely related to the youngest daughter.

The eldest brother just mentioned it in his speech, that the top scholar has a solid foundation of cultural knowledge in primary school.

The ex-husband, a small country farmer who caused my little daughter to suffer such a miserable life, only had a primary school education.

So could it be that the gossip that the eldest son brought back...

But how is that possible!
At this moment, Zhong Xiuping, who was crouching and eavesdropping, also came to a shocking conclusion.

Her mind was completely confused!
She tried her best to recall whether her ex-husband Lu Yifan really had any extraordinary cultural knowledge that she had neglected in the past.

She thought and thought, trying hard to recall.

But it’s very sad to find that during the three years of pretending to be a couple with her ex-husband Lu Yifan, it seemed that the level of attention she paid to him...really, pitifully little.

When I recall it now, it seems like a blank.

It was as if those three years of pretending to be a couple respecting each other were all figments of her fantasy in a dream and had never happened at all.

But it happened that she took the initiative to sacrifice herself for the absurd act of gratitude that night before she left...

She and he fought on the kang in the dark night...

But it was like a knife cutting into her body, her soul, and even in her every breath, as if it had left a mark that could never be erased in this lifetime...

"Mom, the top scholar in science in Qinxi Province is named Lu Yifan, a villager of Group 5, Renhe Production Brigade, Longyan Commune, Fu County, Qinxi Province, Lu Yifan..."

"The man who won the first place in the Qinxi Province exam is my sister's ex-husband..."

"Mom, my ex-husband started to review his lessons desperately after my sister returned to the city. Despite not being favored by everyone, he won the first place in the science subject of Qinxi Province with excellent results in the college entrance examination that was just resumed in mid-December. Now, it's even more exaggerated that he has directly received admission letters from Tsinghua University and Yan University, two famous universities in Beijing..."

"Mom, my sister's ex-husband is really an extraordinary person..."

"Mother……?"

Mother Zhong was completely stunned.

As expected, the truth that the boss finally revealed was what she had guessed subconsciously just now.

But, but, how is this possible!!! ~~~
"I do not believe!"

After being stunned for a few seconds, Zhong's mother expressed her true thoughts word by word.

Zhong Xiuping also couldn't believe it.

My ex-husband Lu Yifan had actually already been the top scorer in science in Qinxi Province.

No wonder, no wonder he didn't reply to my letter. He was blaming me for not knowing anything about his living conditions in the village and not caring about them...

No, that's not right. He was clearly blaming himself. After he left and returned to the city, he only pretended to express his concern and gave him alms to encourage him to make progress...

"Mom!~~"

Zhong Xiuping rushed out from her hiding place, inexplicably excited, "Mom, big brother, Lu Yifan really got admitted to Qinxi Province as the top scorer in science, and has been given admission letters by Tsinghua University and Yanjing University at the same time? Big brother, can you confirm this news? Mom, mom, what should I do now? Was my concern and encouragement in the last letter I wrote too hypocritical? No wonder Yifan has been unwilling to write back to me. It seems that he must be angry. Mom, mom, what should I do now..."

Mother Zhong clenched her back teeth.

Seeing that my little daughter looked at a loss at the moment.

She was heartbroken.

At this moment, deep in her heart, she did not feel the slightest bit of excitement at hearing that her son-in-law had a bright future.

Instead, there was only a strong sense of resentment and hatred for being plotted against, ridiculed, and easily controlled by a small country farmer thousands of miles away.

And just look at the younger daughter’s behavior and reaction.

This doesn't look like a normal couple who respect each other.

That small country farmer had the ability to easily become the provincial top scholar, so why did he deliberately refuse to tell his daughter?

Why, when he was arranging for his daughter to return to the city, he did not mention a word about his ability to pass the college entrance examination and return to the city...

Humans are animals that instinctively seek benefits and avoid harm.

All of a sudden, she heard that the small country farmer's son, whom she had never taken a liking to, suddenly revealed a shocking secret. He was actually the provincial top scholar who had already jumped out of the farming family with his own strength.

The Zhong family's previous so-called trial arrangements to encourage people to strive for progress were even more clownish than a clown.

Faced with such an extreme dilemma that suddenly struck.

Mother Zhong instinctively made Lu Yifan's image of a cunning peasant even more negative. She began to feel a desire to deny, stop, and even destroy him...
