Chapter 1236: Kong Hongying, the Gratitude
Yunyi didn't take it seriously, but when school was over in the afternoon, Qiao Lili came over mysteriously and said, "The person you saved this morning was Professor Chi's student."
Yunyi looked at her and asked, "Did you go to ask about other people's affairs?"
Qiao Lili waved her hand and said, "I don't have the time for that."
As Yun packed up her textbooks, she asked, "How did you know that?"
Qiao Lili pointed out the window and said, "You'll know when you go downstairs."
Yun rolled her eyes at her and said, "Why are you being so secretive?"
The two packed up their things and went downstairs. When they got outside, they saw that all the students who had left earlier were gathered here.
Yunyi had her mental strength and could see clearly what was going on inside without having to move forward: "Are they going to raise funds for Kong Hongying?"
Qiao Lili nodded: "I heard that her family favors boys over girls. If it weren't for the help from her uncle next door, she would not have been able to go to school. When she was about to graduate from junior high school, her uncle and aunt both died while trying to save the company's property.
Her parents immediately announced that no one would support her tuition and book fees, so she didn't need to continue her studies. However, considering that she would get her diploma in just over a month and they wouldn't have to bear any expenses, and that having a junior high school diploma would be a bargaining chip for a high bride price in the future, they didn't let her go home immediately.
However, after she graduated from junior high school, their parents had no plans to let her go to high school. Even though she ranked first in her grade and 80th in the district, her parents did not agree to let her go to school anymore. They said that it was good enough for a girl to recognize a few words, and what was the point of reading so many books.
She even knocked her head until it bled, but her parents still refused. It was her second cousin who lived next door who couldn't stand it anymore and asked her husband, who was an officer, to come forward and bear all the expenses for Kong Hongying. Kong Hongying also promised not to delay housework, so she had the opportunity to go to high school.
After graduating from high school, it was her cousin's husband who used his connections to help her find a job, so her mother didn't have to marry her off early in exchange for a dowry. After all, she still wanted her to pay a salary into the family.
She was lucky. The college entrance examination was resumed just a few months after she started working. She was a good student, so she studied while working and was admitted to university as she wished.
Originally, her parents did not agree with her taking the college entrance examination, but she said that once she was admitted, she would transfer the job to her younger brother, and only then did her parents agree.
However, just a few days after she started school, she received the news that her cousin's husband had died on a mission. Her second cousin was pregnant at the time, and the shock caused the child to be born prematurely. Perhaps because the couple had a very good relationship, her second cousin could not bear the shock and died a few days later.
The relatives on her cousin's husband's side had only seen the child a few times, and their grandparents had passed away long ago. They only had two aunts, an uncle and a younger uncle. Every family had four or five children. Even if these two went back with them, they would probably have to suffer, not to mention that the younger one was only a few days old.
Her eldest cousin was unwilling to take over her younger sister's two children because she envied her younger sister's good life and she didn't get along well with her younger sister. Her younger cousin wanted to help his second younger sister raise the two children, but the situation at home was not very good. If he took the children back, his wife would have to quit her job.
The issue of whether the two children should stay or go became a problem. Her cousin's husband's family lived in the countryside, and Kong Hongying didn't want the children to go back with him. But when she saw that her eldest cousin and brother were unwilling to take over the two children, she stood up.
Because of this, she had a falling out with her parents and even severed her relationship with them. She also wrote her parents an IOU for 500 yuan, promising to pay them back 100 yuan a year after she got a job. If she broke her promise, she would have to pay double. "(End of this chapter)
