My Beloved Super Fierce Wife-Chapter 241: The person behind finally appears

Xia Yunxiu frowned in disagreement and said,

"Although the cat doesn’t eat much, it still adds another mouth to feed. When food supplies are tight and people are already struggling to eat, there’s no point in keeping a cat!"

In these times when people can barely feed themselves, there’s hardly any talk of having pets.

For the down-to-earth flower-growing people, raising pigs and chickens is far more economical than raising cats and dogs.

"How much could this little thing possibly eat." Gu Yingzhou handed over the rope in his pocket to Xia Yunxiu, saying, "The rope’s for you. I’ll trouble you with the rest, and I’ll treat you to a meal once it’s done."

What he referred to as ’the rest’ was the remaining wrap-up work at the factory.

There were some building materials in the factory that needed to be moved out.

Gu Yingzhou had Xia Yunxiu call some people to help.

Of course, it wasn’t for free, money was given.

Seeing that his good friend was set on keeping the cat, Xia Yunxiu didn’t try to persuade him further.

When he mentioned the actual task, he assured, "Don’t worry, I’ll make sure it’s done properly."

Gu Yingzhou patted Xia Yunxiu’s shoulder, "...Thanks for the trouble."

Then he turned to leave.

After a few steps, he turned his head back.

"You looked downright silly talking to the cat just now," he said, his expression refined and his tone indifferent.

As soon as he finished speaking, without awaiting Xia Yunxiu’s reaction, his figure quickly vanished.

Xia Yunxiu stood frozen for a moment, and by the time he came to his senses, that person had long since departed.

"Gu! Ying! Zhou!" he said through gritted teeth.

After a while, he burst out shouting,

"If I ever help you again, I’m a dog."

After cursing, he walked away heavily, earnestly starting his work.

-

In early July, the universities were about to start their summer vacations.

The nation’s top university.

The lively college students were chattering away, sharing their holiday plans.

In a certain female dormitory.

"I haven’t been home in so long, I miss it. As soon as I can get a ticket, I’m buying one," said a slightly pale-faced girl.

Another girl continued, "I don’t want to go home. I want to find a part-time job. Once I earn some money, I want to buy a bottle of Moonlight Skin Cream. I’ve heard this stuff is really good; I want to try it."

As the two chatted, they suddenly realized another roommate was intently reading the newspaper, not speaking for a long time.

Feeling curious, the girl who spoke later asked, "Yuanyuan, what about you? What are your plans?"

Yuanyuan came back to her senses with a pale face.

She pointed at an article in the newspaper, "Have you guys read this paper? This article..."

It was frightful to think about!

And enough to send chills down anyone’s spine!

"What is it?" The girl who asked felt puzzled and approached to take the newspaper and start reading.

Anyone admitted to the top university had high intelligence, so comprehension was not an issue.

After reading the article, the smile on the girl’s face gradually faded.

An indescribable chill spread through her body.

In September of last year, just as they had entered university, someone’s college place had been taken...

How could such a thing happen?!

"Is this true?" she uttered with trembling teeth, her voice hoarse.

Yuanyuan gave a wry smile, her voice strained.

"It’s in the paper, and the author isn’t afraid of being investigated by the authorities. It doesn’t seem fake."

Seeing that the two roommates had turned pale, the girl who was looking forward to going home quickly climbed down from the upper bunk to read the paper as well.

After reading, she felt a sudden chill in her heart.

"The writer is Lin Tang from the Shuangshan Brigade of the Red Star Commune?"

Swallowing hard, the girl said tentatively, "If I’m not mistaken, Xia Ru from our class is also from that place, right?"

Could it be?

She slapped her forehead, trying to stay calm despite the disbelief.

"Is it, really?"

Yuanyuan nodded and said, "I have a bad feeling about this. Don’t you guys think Xia Ru from our class is a bit strange?"

"Her entrance scores were outstanding, and the teachers all looked at her favorably. Yet her subsequent performance..."

The other two girls nodded in realization.

Indeed, that was the case!

Everyone had discussed it for a while back then.

Xia Ru had even treated the students in the class to a meal, with an excuse that now seemed rather far-fetched.

The key was they were so delighted by the meal that they believed her without question.

They had even defended Xia Ru!

Damn it, being able to come up with such excuses to explain always being the last in rankings was something else!

Thinking of Lin Tang from the newspaper, the girls felt indescribably suffocated.

Then remembering Xia Ru from their class, they even felt uneasy.

Taking advantage of one’s family power to steal someone else’s admission notice, how was that different from a bandit?

The girl who also hailed from the countryside imagined various scenes from the article, her eyes reddening.

More than a dozen family members relying on scant land to survive.

Barely eating their fill a few times a year, let alone meat.

Four nephews and nieces so hungry they couldn’t sleep at night.

Patched clothes on their backs, counting every bite of food, tears shed as they supported the girl’s education, hoping she could make something of herself.

...

Luckily, the girl was very promising, topping the class year after year, never causing concern with her studies.

But because of the existence of such shameless people.

The girl who should have been the first college student from miles around, not only was denied her admission notice, but when she tried to find out what happened, her father was assaulted and the letters she sent vanished without a trace.

Attempting to uncover the truth was like running into a wall.

This rollercoaster of a life story, which even fiction wouldn’t dare to emulate, left several upright and kind-hearted female university students with a sour feeling in their eyes.

Whimpering...

As they continued reading, they finally saw a reversal in the tale.

The girl, on her own merits, became a respected factory official, and her article was successfully published. She found a path through a thorny world.

The female university students were moved by the story on the newspaper.

They were at times plunged deep into despair, and at other times, they swelled with pride and joy.

At the end, the girl they had never met, not seeking to return to the campus, asked for two outcomes.

One was to punish those who used their public authority for personal gain.

Two was to call for change, a change that concerned the basic enrollment rights of all incoming students, a sharp rebuke to those who wished to gain without working for it.

The feelings among the girls in the dormitory were complex, feeling both tearful and admiring.

"This Lin Tang... quite impressive!"

Yuanyuan nodded earnestly, "Indeed impressive."

Without a strong heart to face such injustice, she wouldn’t have been able to stand up again so quickly.

An unprivileged country girl on her own, becoming an office employee in the city, this wasn’t something that could be summed up with just ’impressive.’

She clenched her fists, her eyes flickering with determination.

"I’m going to look for the school leaders. I want to help Lin Tang find the truth."

"What exactly happened? Is it the school’s leadership or the Red Star Commune doing something shady? I want to find out..."

After finishing her declaration, the girl took the newspaper and left the dormitory.

Seeing this, Yuanyuan and the other girl hurriedly followed.

"Wait, slow down. Let’s go together."

The leading girl slowed down and the three of them headed towards the Principal’s office together.

On the way, they saw Xia Ru being surrounded by a group of male and female students, looking like a princess making her grand entrance.

The girl who first suggested going to see the Principal was known for her fiery temper.

Encountering the radiant Xia Ru, she immediately stepped forward and stopped her.
