Chapter 509: A Survival Guide for Women in the Old Republic of China (48)

"Brother, Brother Jing and I have been waiting for you over there for a long time, why haven't you come over yet?" Su Xiangran pouted and pretended to be angry and said, "We don't have much time to keep shopping! I have to go back and do my homework later!"

When Su Yanqing saw that it was Su Xiangran who came back to find him, he was secretly delighted. He immediately realized that this was a perfect opportunity to get out of the predicament.

So, he turned to his aunt Wu Wenyue without hesitation, bowed respectfully, and said, "Aunt, I'm really sorry, Xiaoran and I will leave first.

We will go home as soon as possible after buying what we need.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he quickly stepped forward, held Su Xiangran's hand tightly, and walked towards the corner they had just turned.

Su Yanqing chose to completely ignore the look of help from Cao Shixun behind him.

However, Song Chengjing was slightly surprised by Su Xiangran's intimate call of "Brother Jing".

But he quickly came to his senses and did not say much. He just silently followed the Su brothers and sisters in the direction they had agreed upon previously.

Cao Shixun stood where he was, secretly resentful in his heart: These people are so disloyal!

Although everyone knew that he was in such a difficult situation, no one was willing to lend a helping hand.

But then he thought again, this matter was indeed caused by his sister Cao Lianxin...

He knew that this sister was born to be incompatible with him.

"Mom, you are really..." Cao Shixun said helplessly. His good mood for shopping had disappeared completely.

He really didn't feel like wandering around any longer, so he waved his hand impatiently: "Let's go, let's go, let's go! I can go home with you guys, right?"

Wu Wenyue was also aware of her son's unhappiness, but she was helpless.

Seeing how much her son liked Su Xiangran, she couldn't help feeling a pang of sadness in her heart.

You know, in this day and age, marriage between cousins ​​is not uncommon.

If Cao Shixun and Su Xiangran fell in love after frequent contact, even if Su Xiangran is only six years old now, so what? With a face like that, she would be a disaster. If she really got married in the future, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Of course, she had other concerns, too.

Although the Su family had some wealth, they were, after all, just local rich people from the countryside. They could not be compared with the daughters of capitalists from prominent families or the daughters of high-ranking officials.

Cao Ce currently has only one precious son, Cao Shixun, who is in the prime of his life. Who can say for sure whether he will take concubines and have children in the future?

Due to these concerns, Wu Wenyue felt that she must prepare for the future and make plans early.

At the same time, Su Xiangran and the other two bought pear syrup candies and returned to the Su Mansion.

She originally wanted to finish the homework by herself, but Song Chengjing insisted on tutoring her by her side. In order not to reveal too many secrets, Su Xiangran had to slow down her answering speed.

The next day, Su Xiangran went to school as usual. When she passed by Class 2, she received two cold stares from Cao Lianxin, but she didn't care at all. In her current situation, the little girl was just helpless and furious.

Three years went by like this, and Su Xiangran was always one of the best figures in the school.

Many people say that the brother and sister from the Su family are natural learners.

It was in this year that Su Yanqing was admitted to a medical school in Hai City.

Because the school is quite far from home, Su Yanqing asked his friend Song Chengjing to get him a bicycle for the convenience of traveling.

Why not ask Cao Shixun for help!

The reason is actually not complicated. Just last year, when Cao Shixun just turned 18 years old, he was ruthlessly "kicked" into a military academy in Guangcheng by his father Cao Ce.

Although this military academy was established not long ago, Su Xiangran knew that it would become famous in the future.

As for Song Chengjing, he majored in law, and the school he is currently attending is also a newly established private institution.

This scene made Su Xiangran sigh: In this era, if you want to have a bright future, you not only need to study hard, but also rely on a prominent family background.

Leaving aside other aspects for now, just looking at the schools that the three of them are currently attending, they are all very famous in later generations.

However, Su Xiangran herself still studies in the existing church school.

As many new schools run by Chinese people have emerged in Hai City, the principal has decisively adjusted the admission policy.

He gradually increased the proportion of female students enrolled, seemingly intending to turn the school into a purely church girls' school.

In addition, the principal is no longer limited to recruiting children from prominent families, but also includes children from ordinary families who can afford the tuition fees.

Of course, there are also girls who will receive his financial support and have part of their tuition fees waived.

There were also scholarships for students with good grades, such as Su Xiangran, but she refused.

She wants to leave this opportunity to more people in need. After all, given her current family situation, she cannot use the scholarship funding for the time being.
