When she first woke up, she was still a little confused and thought she was still at Grandma Fang's house. It took her a few seconds to realize that she was in a guest house.
Suddenly I felt a little worried about Doudou.
The little guy hasn't seen his mother all day and night. Does he have trouble eating or sleeping?
I'll rush back after finishing my work today.
Without even bothering to have breakfast, Lin Mai took the bus to Yunlai County.
When I arrived in Yunlai County, I inquired all the way to Jin Bo's house and knocked on his door.
The person who opened the door was a well-dressed middle-aged woman, who should be Jin Bo's mother.
The middle-aged woman looked Lin Mai up and down and asked with a bit of contempt: "Who are you?"
Lin Mai answered her in standard Mandarin: "My sister is Lin Mai, and she is a classmate of Jin Bo. She asked me to come to Jin Bo to convey a few words."
Although Mandarin has long been popularized, in this era, not many rural students can speak Mandarin well because most teachers teach in dialect.
Whenever you hear someone speaking Mandarin, most people think that this person is an educated person, or at least a good student who studies hard.
After listening to Lin Mai speak standard Mandarin like an announcer, Mother Jin not only no longer disliked her, but also did not dislike her as a rural child, and her expression softened a lot.
He shouted into the room: "Bobo, the sister of one of your classmates named Lin Mai is here to see you."
A boy of medium height and good looks came out with a half-eaten bun in his hand.
He smiled kindly at Lin Mai and said, "You and your sister look nothing alike."
Lin Mai smiled. She and Lin Bei were still debating whether they were biological sisters. If they were not biological sisters, it would be normal for them not to look alike.
Jin Bo left the house and took Lin Mai to a willow tree that had lost all its leaves in the courtyard of the community. He asked, "Why doesn't your sister come to me on her own and wants you to come to me?"
Lin Mai looked at him and spoke clearly: "It's not that my sister wants me to come to you, it's that I want to come to you."
Jin Bo was stunned and said with a puzzled look on his face: "I, I don't know you~"
Lin Mai smiled: "You don't need to know me, you just need to listen to me.
From now on, no matter what you hear, don't get emotional, let alone question it.
When I'm done, I'll tell you how you can prove that what I said is true."
Jin Bo's expression became solemn and he nodded solemnly.
Lin Mai said: "My sister said that she is in love with you."
Jin Bo's face turned red. He completely forgot about his promise just now that he would only listen and not talk. He quickly explained: "It's nothing, I just get along better with your sister."
Lin Mai said very firmly: "But this is what my sister told my mother and father, which means one of you is lying!"
Jin Bo quickly declared: "I didn't lie."
"That means my sister is lying." Lin Mai asked, "Can you see that I am already married?"
Jin Bo was dumbfounded: "You and your sister are not married, how could you be married?"
"But I have been married." Lin Mai asked again, "Do you know why I got married so young?"
The corner of Jin Bo's mouth twitched, how could I know this!
He thought for a while and said, "Have you met the sweetheart you must marry?"
Lin Mai sneered: "I am a student after all, so I have such romantic ideas.
The reason why I got married so early is because my sister wants to use my marriage in exchange for a bride price to pay tuition for high school."
Jin Bo was shocked.
His living conditions have been much better than those of ordinary people since he was a child, and he never imagined that there would be such suffering in the world.
He stammered: "Just, just, even if your sister cherishes the opportunity to study, I can't let you make such a big sacrifice..."
As soon as Lin Mai heard this, he knew that this boy still had three views, at least he would not defend Lin Bei in every possible way like Wu Xiaoyu did.
She sneered a few times: "I actually used the word cherish! Do you think my sister got into high school through her own efforts?"
Jin Bo looked surprised: "Isn't it?"
"No, she went to high school in my name." Lin Mai said, "You can go to Wangjia Village where we live to find out whether my sister's real name is Lin Bei or Lin Mai, what is her sister's name, and what is her name?
Are you going to high school in exchange for a bride price?
As for whether she is a top student or a scumbag, you can find out the truth once you go to Xiaohe Town Middle School and find out."
In this era, it is very common to go to school under a false name. Most of the methods used are to change one's original name to the name of the person being replaced to go to school.
Because there were neither ID cards nor the Internet in this era, schools only relied on the information on the admission notice to verify admitted students.
The admission notice only contains your name and which school you are from.
Therefore, as long as the name is changed, the personal information will basically match the information on the admission notice, and the replacement can be easily successful.
Only a very few impostors with strong backgrounds dare to directly tamper with the information of the person being replaced. They can replace the person without changing their name, and there will be no trouble in the future.
The Lin family had no background and was still poor. Lin Bei wanted to take Lin Mai's place in high school without spending a penny, so she naturally chose to change her name directly to Lin Mai.
It is because of this that Lin Mai was given strong evidence to prove the truth.
Jin Bo was doubtful about Lin Mai's words.
Because the Lin Bei he came into contact with was pure, weak and gentle, and she didn't look like the kind of selfish, cold-blooded person who could tell lies.
But her poor grades make it hard to believe that she was admitted to the key high school they attended - Yunlai County No. 1 Middle School with high scores.
Jin Bo had never asked Lin Bei about this doubt.
Her answer was that she had not adapted to the new environment, so her grades would drop sharply, and she shyly asked him to give her extra classes.
Now it seems that she is lying?
In order to know the truth and not be deceived any more, as soon as Lin Mai left, Jin Bo went back to say hello to his parents, and took a bus to Xiaohe Town Middle School on the pretext of wishing his teacher a happy New Year with his classmates.
There is only one middle school in Xiaohe Town, and that middle school only has a junior high school. When he arrived in Xiaohe Town, Jin Bo found out the specific address of Xiaohe Town Middle School.
Although it's not yet the start of school, it's not difficult to ask the guard for the address of Lin Bei's graduating class teacher.
When he came out of the home of Lin Bei's graduating class teacher, his mind went blank.
Although he was mentally prepared, he still found it hard to accept when Lin Bei's graduating class teacher told him personally that Lin Bei was a poor student who had failed several grades and graduated from junior high school with her sister Lin Mai, who was three years younger than her.
Lin Bei was the first girl he had a crush on in his adolescence, but she turned out to be a scumbag who pretended to be his sister and went to school.
He did not give up there, and went over the mountains to Wangjia Village to ask the villagers whether Lin Bei had used his sister in exchange for a bride price so that she could study.
He really hoped to hear something from the villagers that would make him feel that Lin Bei was not the kind of person who was so bad that he had no humanity.
As a result, all the villagers who were asked about it told him that Lin Bei not only exchanged her sister for bride gifts so that she could study, but also didn't care about the life and death of her family and only cared about her own good life. She was an extremely selfish person.
Jin Bo felt resentful in his heart. He wanted to ask Lin Bei face to face why he was so vicious and even tried to trick his own sister.
When he went under the window of Lin Bei's room under the guidance of the villagers, he heard that she and a young man seemed to be discussing something. He couldn't help but subconsciously stopped and eavesdropped on what they were talking about.
