“Really? That’s great!”

Gu Li held Song Xiao’s hand and sounded very excited. Even Wang Hong was happy.

What a great opportunity. If he got into university, he would be registered as a city resident. It was better than staying in a small town to sell goods for the rest of his life, right?

Song Yao was so excited that tears were about to flow out. Back then, not taking the college entrance examination had always been her regret. She did not expect to have a chance to make up for it now!

Song Xiao said, “Sister! Don’t worry and go to school. I’m still here for the family matters!”

“That’s right.” Gu Li added, “I can’t help much with the shop’s matters. Let your brother do it. Mom and Auntie Su will take care of Baby Xuan and the chestnut business. Don’t worry and study. If you lack money, tell your family. Mom will ask your father to send it to you!”

Song Ping echoed, “That’s right! You don’t have to worry about family matters. If you lack money, tell Dad. I’ve lived for so long but I’ve never been to the provincial cityl.”

At the mention of this, Song Yao started to have a headache. If she had known earlier, she wouldn’t have arranged so many jobs for herself. Now, not only would she have to work hard to earn money and take care of the children, but she would also have to take care of her studies.

Song Yao began to have a headache.

“But I can’t leave the shop behind now, and Baby Xuan hasn’t weaned yet… How about this? I’ll work harder and make a few more trips.”

“It’s so tiring to take care of several things at the same time.” Gu Li began to feel sorry for her daughter. Although she had only studied for a few days, she knew that high school was the time when she was most nervous about her studies. Once she was distracted, her three years of high school classes would be for nothing!

But what could Song Yao do? She couldn’t give up another chance to study in high school, right?

Moreover, the entire family was waiting for her to earn money. Not only did she have to take good care of her studies, but she also had to take good care of Baby Xuan.

“I can take care of everything!” Song Yao gritted her teeth and said.

When Wang Hong saw this, she expected better from someone. “Do you think Song Yao is greedy for money? Isn’t it the same whenever she earns money? She’s focused on her studies, and her family won’t starve to death. She can earn a lot of money by collecting chestnuts! At the very least, there’s that shop!”

Liu Mu silently took a puff of his pipe. He wanted to say that his wife was thinking too simply.

It was not bad to collect chestnuts to earn money. That was because Song Yao and Boss He personally contacted each other and Song Yao had to personally check it. If it was Song Xiao who contacted Boss He, he might not agree!

There was also Song Yao’s new shop. Song Yao was the only one who cooked and ran the shop. If Song Yao went to school, that shop would have to close!

However, closing the shop was a small matter. What about the things that could not be sold in the shop? These were all bought with money! Moreover, when he was drinking previously, he had heard from Song Ping that Song Yao’s family’s money was used to buy poultry and mountain goods. This also meant that if the poultry and mountain goods could not be sold, they would be ruined!

However, Song Yao’s entire family needed money. Not to mention that Yu Xuan’s milk powder money was a lot of money a month, Song Xiao still had to marry a wife in the future. Moreover, if Song Yao went to university in the future, her family would have to give her living expenses.

If this continued, not many families would be able to afford it!

“Song Yao has an old man and a young child. Can’t she worry about her family?” Liu Mu sighed.

Song Yao looked glamorous on the surface, but who didn’t know that this family depended on Song Yao?

Song Xiao sighed. He knew his sister’s difficulties very well. He immediately said, “Sister, just focus on your studies! I’ll go to the south to work. Dad will go to the city to deliver vegetables and sell some snacks. It’ll be enough! As for the chestnuts… let Mom check them for you and send them to Boss He!”

“Yao! Just trust Mom this once!” Gu Li’s eyes were filled with tears. “You don’t have to worry about family matters. If you really get into university, Mom will sell her blood for you to study!”

“Mom! I’m not going!” Song Yao’s eyes turned red. If she had to sacrifice the entire family to support her in school, she would rather not go!

Hearing this, the principal of No.l High School began to panic. Song Yao was a good material for a famous university!

It was precisely because her results were outstanding enough that he could personally come to this small place to invite Song Yao to study in Sang Qiu City. But now, she refused to study because of financial problems? How could this do?

“Song Yao, how about this? I’ll apply for a poverty allowance from my superiors and give it to you every year…”

The principal did not finish his sentence because he was not confident. He was not sure if he could apply for this money. After all, there were many poor students who received subsidies every year, but there were only a few spots.

Moreover, Song Yao’s family background was not considered poor in the traditional sense..
