Wu Shanshan returned home happily, and then she saw her father Wu Jianguo and stepmother Zhang Amei sitting in the living room.
"Where have you been so late?" Wu Jianguo said to Wu Shanshan with a straight face.
"Dad, I went to the restroom. I met Brother Tunan at the alley and asked about my university major." Wu Shanshan explained.
Wu Jianguo and Zhang Amei looked at each other, then asked Wu Shanshan to sit down and said, "We have something to discuss with you."
Wu Shanshan sat down in confusion and asked, "Dad, what can't you say tomorrow?"
Zhang Amei was impatient and was the first to speak: "Shanshan, you know the latest policy in the factory, right? Now there are no quotas for employees' children to enter the factory."
Wu Shanshan nodded and said: "I heard Aunt Huang Ling mention that this is not only a rule of the cotton spinning factory, but also a rule of all factories in Suzhou."
Wu Jianguo sighed: "Originally, our family had a quota to enter the factory, so your mother and I asked your sister Xiao Min to go to a technical secondary school to study textiles. Now it's all over."
Wu Shanshan said disapprovingly: "Just because you can't enter a cotton spinning factory doesn't mean you can't find a job. Xiao Min will still have the opportunity to enter other factories in the future."
Zhang Amei said with a bitter face: "The treatment of those small factories cannot be compared with that of cotton spinning factories. Xiao Min's future is completely gone."
Wu Shanshan looked calm on the surface, but in fact she felt secretly happy.
When Zhang Amei calculated the quota for her biological daughter Zhang Min to enter the factory, she did not hesitate to sacrifice Wu Shanshan's future, so that she almost did not even go to high school.
Now that the bamboo basket is empty, Zhang Min will only be an ordinary worker even if she graduates from the textile major.
But Wu Shanshan was different. After only two days to take the college entrance examination, she was a prospective college student with a bright future.
Thinking about it now, Wu Shanshan is very glad that she had to go to high school even though she went on a hunger strike three years ago.
Zhang Amei winked at Wu Jianguo, who was timid and hesitant to speak.
"Shanshan, can you give Xiao Min the opportunity to go to college?" Zhang Amei saw that Wu Jianguo refused to speak, so she could only be this evil person.
"What are you talking about? How can I go to college?" Wu Shanshan said in shock.
Zhang Amei said anxiously: "What I mean is, after you are admitted to college, let Xiao Min go to college, okay?"
Wu Shanshan stood up in shock, never expecting that Zhang Amei would say such words.
"You want Xiao Min to pretend to be me and go to college?"
Zhang Amei smiled and said: "That's what I mean."
Wu Shanshan shouted: "Are you crazy? Why should I let Xiao Min go to college?"
Zhang Amei said hurriedly: "It's not that I won't let you go to college, it's just that you will be two years late."
Wu Jianguo said: "Your Aunt Zhang knows people and can transfer Xiao Min to the county middle school to attend high school. However, we consider that Xiao Min's grades are not good and she may not be able to get into college even if she attends high school."
Wu Shanshan understood what her father meant and said in shock: "You want Xiao Min to study in college under my name, and I will pretend to be Xiao Min's name and study in high school for two more years?"
Zhang Amei smiled and said: "Shanshan is smart and can tell the truth. Your father and I have calculated it together. This way, our family will have two college students, and we will definitely make money without losing money."
Wu Shanshan looked at her father in disbelief and asked, "You have never thought that if the substitution was exposed, it would ruin my future."
Wu Jianguo shrank his neck, not daring to look at his daughter.
Zhang Amei said: "How could such a thing be exposed? As long as we don't say anything, who knows!
And this is also good for you. Your grades are not top-notch in school. If you study for two more years, you might get higher scores and get into a better school."
Wu Shanshan said without hesitation: "I don't agree. Xiao Min wants to go to college. Let her go by herself. I won't risk sacrificing my own future to help her."
Zhang Amei said nervously: "Shanshan, why don't you understand? I am doing this for your own good."
Wu Shanshan couldn't bear it anymore and retorted: "Don't say it is so great, you are doing it for your own daughter."
Wu Jianguo shouted angrily: "Shanshan, why are you talking to your Aunt Zhang? What does it look like to yell?"
Wu Shanshan was disappointed and said: "Dad, I know I can't count on you, so I have been studying hard these years, but I didn't expect that you would do this to me for someone else's daughter."
Wu Jianguo felt ashamed and said, "It's okay if you don't agree. Why bother saying this?"
Wu Shanshan said firmly: "I will never agree. After I am admitted to college, I will move out from home."
Zhang Amei snorted coldly: "Okay, your wings have become stiff. If you want to leave us, there is no way.
We have raised you so big, and you want to leave just because you patted your butt. How can it be so cheap? I have already collected your admission ticket."
Wu Shanshan cried: "Zhang Amei, you have gone too far. For the sake of your daughter, do you not care about my life or death?"
Wu Jianguo said angrily: "Shut up, the more you talk, the more you go too far. Your Aunt Zhang and I have never treated you badly. Is it because you lacked a stutter or lacked clothes? Didn't we just ask you to take care of your sister? Is it that difficult?"
Wu Shanshan shouted: "I have no sister, I only have one brother."
After saying that, Wu Shanshan ran out of the house angrily and ran directly to Huang Ling's house.
Huang Ling was getting ready to go to bed when she saw Wu Shanshan running over crying, and she was very confused?
"Shanshan, it's so late, why are you here?"
Wu Shanshan cried: "Aunt Huang Ling, my parents want Zhang Min to go to college instead of me."
"Ah!" Huang Ling was shocked, and Wang Gang and Zhuang Xiaoting also heard the sound and came out.
Wu Shanshan cried and told Huang Ling about Wu Jianguo and Zhang Amei's plan. Wang Gang was dumbfounded when he heard this.
"What do Uncle Wu and Aunt Zhang think of the college entrance examination? They pretended to be fake and went to college. It's hard for them to think of it." Wang Gang said in surprise.
Huang Ling sighed and said, "Well, there are many things like us going to college under false pretences."
Only then did Wang Gang remember that in this era, household registration information was incomplete, and ID cards had not yet begun to be widely used. The only thing that could prove identity was the identification card issued by the street, a handwritten card without a photo. If you want to impersonate yourself to go to school, it is indeed possible.
Operability.
Huang Ling hugged Wu Shanshan and said distressedly: "Shanshan, don't be afraid. Auntie will make the decision for you. Old Wu is becoming more and more outrageous. He doesn't care about his own daughter's future. Is there anyone like him who can be a father?"
Wang Gang sighed: "Mom, you have to handle this matter carefully. After all, it is a family matter. If it really makes the matter bigger, it will also have a great impact on Shanshan. If Zhang Amei burns the admission ticket, it will ruin Shanshan's future.
"
Huang Ling was also troubled when she heard this.
Wang Gang looked at Wu Shanshan's pear blossoms and felt lucky. At least Zhuang Chaoying was not like Wu Jianguo, otherwise he would have killed her out of righteousness.
"Auntie, what should I do?" Wu Shanshan said in confusion.
Huang Ling said: "You stay with me for the next few days. I will talk to Lao Wu in private and I will definitely get your admission ticket back."
Wu Shanshan said gratefully: "Aunt Huang Ling, thank you."
Wang Gang also said: "Shanshan, you go to the teacher tomorrow and say that you lost your admission ticket and see if you can get a replacement."
Wu Shanshan wiped away the tears on her face and said worriedly: "The college entrance examination will be the day after tomorrow. Is it still too late to retake it now?"
"Let's ask first." Wang Gang said, "If it doesn't work, I have to get my admission ticket back."
