Sweet Wife Is Busy Farming-Chapter 25

A Straight-A Student

But no matter which world it was, studying was always useful. If one wanted to change the current situation, one had to study. Thinking of this, Ding Yao tugged at Song Xiuyan’s sleeve. “You don’t have to quit school. I’ll bring the siblings up the mountain to dig for medicinal herbs to sell. I’ll make sure they have enough to eat and clothes to keep them warm. You can also earn the fees for your studies.”

Previously, Song Xiuyan had already delayed for a year because of Shen Lan’s matter. If he were to quit school... Song Xiuyan stared fixedly at Ding Yao, his cold eyes sparkled. “You don’t want me to quit school? You want me to take the college entrance exam?” As his wife, she definitely wanted her husband to rise in the world.

Ding Yao smiled and shook her head. “I didn’t think too much about it. I just didn’t want to see your talent buried.” Song Xiuyan’s study room had all kinds of books. Every book was old. It could be seen how diligent he was and how much he loved reading. Song Xiuyan’s calligraphy and painting were so outstanding, and his notes were dense. It could be seen that he had ambitions and dreams.

Hearing Ding Yao praise him for his talent, Song Xiuyan’s mood was slightly better. He promised Ding Yao, “My talent definitely won’t be buried.” In his previous life, he could walk out of the mountain and become a favored son of heaven. Of course, in this life, he could as well. He explained to Ding Yao, “I’m just taking a break from school and staying at home. But as long as I pay the tuition fee and explain it to the principal, I can keep my enrollment status. At that time, I can still take the college entrance exam.” fre𝑒𝘸𝚎𝚋n૦ѵℯl.c𝒐𝘮

Song Xiuyan had thought about it all night last night. The experiences of his previous life had once again crossed his mind. Those people who wanted to harm his family were very likely related to his background. However, Song Xiuyan didn’t know much about his background. He only knew that his family had moved from the capital to the Song family village. His great-grandfather must have been injured, and his health hadn’t been good, so he had passed away very early. His grandfather was brilliant and knew everything. Such a person could be very powerful, whether in government or business. However, his grandfather preferred calligraphy and painting, and wasn’t interested in high-ranking officials and money. Under his grandfather’s edification, Song Xiuyan was even better than his grandfather.

Song Xiuyan’s father was a rough man. He didn’t like to study and only wanted to practice martial arts. He placed all his hopes on Song Xiuyan and asked him to study hard and stand out, because in Song Xiuyan’s generation, the money left by his great-grandfather had already been spent. Song Xiuyan’s father had a deep experience of the life of a poor family, which was why he had such a request for Song Xiuyan.

The people who wanted to harm Song Xiuyan’s family had been hiding in the dark, which was why Song Xiuyan hadn’t noticed them. This also meant that those people had scruples. He didn’t know exactly what they were worried about, but he was sure that those people didn’t want him to find out, perhaps they were afraid that he would discover them and investigate further, which would expose some secret.

Song Xiuyan’s family had lived in the Song family village for three generations without any accidents, but it had happened to him. There was only one reason for Song Xiuyan’s analysis, and that was that he wanted to take the college entrance exam and try to leave the mountain. Those people seemed to be afraid that he would leave this place, so as long as he hadn’t walked out of the mountain, those people might get ruthless. Therefore, what he needed to do now was to suspend his studies and create the illusion that he had given up on walking out of the mountain. He wanted to see if he could calm those people down first.

Ding Yao used her mouth to ask Song Xiuyan, “You don’t need to go to school to listen to the teacher’s lecture, but you can do well in the exam?”

Song Xiuyan nodded and showed an extremely confident expression. Ding Yao was relieved and giggled. “I see, you’re a straight a student!” ƒ𝓇e𝙚𝔀𝐞𝚋𝓃𝐨𝘷e𝙡.𝒄𝗼m

Song Xiuyan didn’t understand what Ding Yao meant by straight a student because he had never heard of the phrase “straight a student”. Ding Yao also smiled and didn’t explain to Song Xiuyan.

After leaving the school, Song Xiuyan brought Ding Yao to buy a bag of rice and a piece of pork. He also followed bought a lot of snacks for his younger brothers and sister. He had bought all the things he wanted to buy. The two of them then went to the One Side Sky Pharmacy to get the medicinal herbs. When they arrived at the One Side Sky Pharmacy, they were informed by the shop assistant that the manager of the store wanted to see them.

After meeting them, Sun Changan went straight to the point and said that he wanted to buy the Snake Swallow Stone from Ding Yao. Ding Yao wasn’t willing to sell it. She shook her head and refused, then pulled Song Xiuyan to leave.

Sun Changan quickly offered a high price. “Fifty thousand yuan! Are you selling it or not?”

Ding Yao gestured with her hands. “I’m not selling it for 500,000 yuan!”

Song Xiuyan relayed Ding Yao’s intentions to Sun Changan. Sun Changan was unwilling to accept it. “If you think the price is too low, you can still raise the price.” But no matter what Sun Changan said, Song Xiuyan and Ding Yao were unmoved. They took the medicine bag and walked out of the pharmacy.
