Cang Wenjing looked at Yun Xiaoxiao, full of confusion, "Are you really married with a child, not a recent graduate?"
No matter how she looked at it, Yun Xiaoxiao seemed like a recent graduate.
"We embarrassed ourselves today," Cang Wenjing said, feeling awkward.
"I’m from Shanghai. When I applied to Tsing University, I just wanted to try my luck. I never expected to be admitted. I was working in an export job in a factory in Shanghai, and I always thought my English was pretty good. But I didn’t realize that there are always taller mountains out there."
As for Wang Yue, he was a local from the Capital City.
"When I was little, the grandfather next door had studied abroad, and I learned English from him."
Yun Xiaoxiao looked at them and extended her hand, "Nice to meet you, I’m Yun Xiaoxiao, a freshman."
"We’re also very pleased to meet you."
Wang Yue looked at Yun Xiaoxiao and asked, "Your English is so good, why did you choose another major?"
"Going to college is about learning, and since I already speak good English, I naturally didn’t want to waste my college years."
This explanation left Wang Yue and Cang Wenjing at a loss for words.
But anyone who could get into Tsing University was no ordinary person.
The three of them became friends and spent time together in the library, sometimes even eating meals together.
"Is all the money spent?"
Second Brother Yun immediately handed over the property deed, "Wife, here’s the deed. I went to see the house with my father-in-law and thought it was quite good, so we bought it."
Second Sister-in-law Yun flipped through the property deed, noting the area and address.
"Isn’t it near the university?"
"Yes, it’s right there. I saw there’s already a noodle shop and a breakfast spot, and their business seems good."
The property was bought.
This was their family’s safety net.
"The number of customers coming to eat at the restaurant is dropping," Second Brother Yun said with concern. If this continued, closing the restaurant would only be a matter of time.
He felt some reluctance.
He had learned his culinary skills here, having spent these years here.
He feared his father-in-law was even more attached to it.
"Actually, right before little sister left, she mentioned to me that if the restaurant’s performance was bad and she was fired, she could take over as the leader and claim unemployment benefits."
Second Sister-in-law Yun looked at Second Brother Yun with surprise, narrowing her eyes slightly, "Such a big thing, and you kept it from me?"
"Wasn’t I just unwilling to let go?"
Second Sister-in-law Yun sighed, "Da Bao and Xiao Bao need to study. Can they study in the Capital City?"
Second Brother Yun didn’t know the answer to that question either.
"But I still believe in little sister. She should be able to get Da Bao and Xiao Bao into school."
Second Sister-in-law Yun pouted. Now, in her husband’s eyes, little sister could do no wrong.
But she respected that little sister-in-law for having gotten into Tsing University.
There were quite a few people from her neighborhood who went to college, but none to Tsing University.
That was Tsing University after all.
"Stay in contact with little sister, listen to what she says more," she advised.
Anyone who could get into Tsing University was certainly very smart, forward-looking, and they just needed a little pull to live a better life.
That was where Second Sister-in-law Yun excelled.
Second Sister-in-law Yun was the only child in her family, and in those times, having no sons meant the family line would end. One could imagine all the gossip her family of three faced.
But the couple seemed deaf to it all, closing their door to live their own little lives.
"Wife, do you think I’m not smart?"
Second Sister-in-law Yun looked him up and down, "Could you get into Tsing University?"
