Although the punishment was still relatively light, at least in front of the entire village, I had avenged myself! I had thoroughly slapped the faces of the Wang Family and Zhao Chunyan! They had tried to steal but ended up losing everything!
After this incident, the way the villagers looked at me changed completely. No one dared to call me a weak and easily bullied girl anymore!
Moreover, my relationship with Shen Junyan seemed to have grown closer due to this shared hardship.
After the storm passed, the college entrance examination arrived as scheduled. With a calm yet determined heart, I walked into the examination hall.
Once the exams were over, the entire Hongqi Brigade was engulfed in a tense yet expectant atmosphere. For these farmers, who had toiled under the sun for generations, the college entrance examination was their only chance to leap into a better life.
I appeared calm on the surface, but inside I felt a bit anxious. Although I had the advantage of having lived before, it was still my first time taking such an important exam.
The days of waiting for the results were torturous. I didn’t relax; I continued managing my dried fruit business while also brainstorming new ways to make money. At the same time, I contemplated my future direction.
After the turmoil, Shen Junyan didn’t come back to the back mountain, worried that he might bring me trouble again. We only ran into each other twice on our way to the market, exchanging hurried greetings. But I could sense that his gaze towards me was filled with concern and… a hint of emotions I couldn’t quite understand.
Finally, the day of results arrived!
The loudspeakers at the brigade began broadcasting early in the morning, notifying all candidates and their parents to go to the brigade office to check the results!
The whole village was in an uproar! Young and old rushed towards the brigade office, more lively than during New Year’s celebrations!
My parents and I were also caught in the crowd as we made our way to the brigade office. Along the way, many people cast complex looks our way—some curious, some envious, others jealous or disdainful.
The Wang Family and Zhao Chunyan were also among the crowd. Qian Guifen still wore her arrogant demeanor, as if her son Wang Jianmin was guaranteed to pass. However, Wang Jianmin's eyes flickered nervously. Zhao Chunyan kept her head down, hiding her expression, but her fingers twisted tightly around her clothes.
On the wall of the brigade office hung a notice written on red paper. It listed the names of those who had been accepted into universities and vocational schools.
Everyone craned their necks and stood on tiptoes to see better.
“Look! Look! There’s someone from our village!” someone exclaimed excitedly!
My heart raced!
I pushed forward eagerly, scanning the red list with urgency.
Suddenly, my name stood out prominently!
“Li Xiulian—Admitted to: Jinghua University!”
Jinghua University?! That’s one of the best universities in the country! I actually got in?! A wave of immense joy and excitement washed over me! Tears streamed uncontrollably down my face!
“Oh my God! It’s Xiulian! She got into Jinghua University!”
“Wow! Jinghua University! That’s a university in the capital!”
"This girl truly has a bright future! Our village has produced a golden phoenix!"
The crowd erupted in thunderous gasps and murmurs! All eyes were focused on me, filled with shock, envy, and admiration!
My father, Li Laoshuan, trembled with excitement, tears streaming down his face. My mother, Liu Yumei, was sobbing uncontrollably, tightly gripping my hand and repeatedly saying, "My daughter... my daughter has succeeded..."
In that moment, all the grievances, hardships, and frustrations vanished into thin air! It was all worth it! Everything was worth it!
