Chapter 1623: Reactions from All Families

Next, everyone became busy because of the restoration of the college entrance examination; the library and the recycling station were suddenly packed with people, all searching for books and materials.

The Fu family was also in chaos; Hao Yanhong wanted Fu Yanwei to take the exam, but Fu Yanwei flatly refused, as he had just been regularized and did not want to make a fuss.

Because of this matter, the couple took their dispute before Fu's father and mother.

Fu's father, already in a bad mood due to the passing of Fu's grandfather, snapped at them: "You are both parents yourselves; for such a trivial matter, must you also bring it before us?"

Hao Yanhong did not expect the Eunuch to get angry: "I was just thinking the opportunity is rare and wanted him to try; if he passes, he will become an office cadre in the future, which would be so prestigious."

Fu's father said in a bad temper: "There are only fifty-odd days of review time in total; he graduated how many years ago? You are probably overestimating him.

Besides, if he goes to school, how will your family of three manage their living expenses?

Rather than letting him take the exam, you should go yourself; by the time you graduate from university, the state will assign you a job."

Upon hearing these words, Hao Yanhong's face turned red.

What could she say? She had wasted her entire high school days, and those subjects of mathematics, physics, and chemistry made her head spin just looking at them.

Not long after they left, Fu Yanhong and his wife also arrived: "Mom and Dad, you must judge for us; Fu Yanhong said he registered for the exam and told me to keep working, saying the family cannot be without income, but why must I be the one sacrificed? I am also a high school graduate, and I want to go to university too."

Zhang Yurong had not conceived again; she feared that if Fu Yanhong passed the exam, their status difference would be too great, and if he were seduced by some woman outside, what would become of her?

She had thought it over: even if she could not bear a son, she must stand at the same level as him; at least then she could feel more at ease.

Fu's father looked at Fu Yanhong: "You have been married for so many years, yet you have not saved a single penny?

Since you can take the exam, Zhang Yurong is also qualified to take it; why is there even a need to argue about this?

Besides, whether one passes is yet to be seen; can you guarantee you will pass? What if Zhang Yurong passes and you do not?"

Hearing the Eunuch's words, Zhang Yurong's spirit rose: "Dad is right; let us each rely on our own abilities; whoever passes, goes; that is the only way to be fair."

The couple argued back and forth before leaving, but at least a conclusion had been reached; now it remained to be seen who would win.

Not long after they left, Fu Yanming and Guo Wenjing also came over.

Fu's father and mother, fearing they had come for the same reason regarding the exam, wore expressions that were hard to describe.

Fu Yanming and Guo Wenjing exchanged a glance before speaking: "Mom and Dad, what is with these expressions on your faces?"

Fu's father frowned at them: "Your jobs are stable now, and you have both been promoted to cadres; why wade into this muddy water?"

Fu Yanming frowned: "Dad, what are you talking about?"

Fu's mother took up the conversation: "You didn't come here about the exam, did you?"

Fu Yanming laughed: "Look how old I am, and I graduated so long ago; mathematics, physics, and chemistry are one thing, but everything else I have already returned to my teachers; I will not get involved."

Having said that, he looked at his wife beside him: "As for Wenjing, that depends on her will; if she wants to take the exam, I will fully support her."

Guo Wenjing waved her hand: "Like Yanming, I do not plan to take the exam; life is quite stable as it is now."

Fu's mother patted her chest: "That is good, that is good; you gave me a fright."

Guo Wenjing smiled: "What happened? Why would you say that, Mom?"

Fu's mother recounted the matter of Fu Yanwei and Fu Yanhong's families coming over: "I do not oppose them taking the exam, but this is simply too much of a fuss."
