"I want to study." Chu Yao said simply.

"What?" The aunt almost knocked over the cup on the table, "Xiao Xiang, do you know what 30,000 yuan is? It's enough to buy your shabby house!"

Thirty years ago, housing prices were indeed not high, especially in Yuan Jiaxiang's hometown, a small and underdeveloped county. They were more than ten times lower than those in other major cities.

The old house that Yuan's family lived in was half-bought and half-rented by Yuan's father. When he and Yuan's mother first got married, they were deeply in love, and Yuan's father didn't have much to do with it.

He gave up all his belongings, and although he could not afford to buy a house, he paid the rent for ten years in one go.

After he left, Yuan's mother and children were not evicted because the lease period had not yet expired and the house was too dilapidated and the landlord could not rent it out.

One of the reasons why Yuan Jiaxiang did not continue studying was also related to the house. If they did not pay the rent, they would really have no place to live.

The aunt knew about this, that's why she had such a big reaction.

Mr. Yan asked repeatedly: "Xiao Xiang, have you thought about it? High school and college studies are very difficult. If you want to give up your studies, I won't give you another penny."

The aunt said bitterly: "Mr. Yan, the child is young and can't tell the difference between good and bad, and can't make the decision. It's better for me to help him choose!"

"No, Sister Zeng, I must hear the exact answer from Xiaoxiang." Mr. Yan shook his head.

His tone was not serious, but the aunt did not dare to interrupt anymore, so she had to keep giving Chu Yao winks.

"I am sure."

No matter which one Chu Yao chose, it couldn't change the facts, so she followed her own heart.

If Yuan Jiaxiang really gets the olive branch extended by Mr. Yan, he will definitely be more than just a small deputy factory director, and maybe even have his own listed company.

Unfortunately, he missed this opportunity.

"Very good, Xiaoxiang. If everything goes well, you can go to the Imperial Capital with me next week." Mr. Yan said approvingly, "Let me think about it... the exams in the Imperial Capital are a little more difficult than those here, you have to go first Lay the foundation and then take the entrance exam..."

Even if Yuan Jiaxiang doesn't understand, he can still get Yuan Jiaxiang into high school and college, because as the president of a book publishing house, he has resources that ordinary people cannot match.

At that time, tutoring books and extracurricular classes were not yet popular, but Mr. Yan was able to hire a tutor for Yuan Jiaxiang and even write several suitable textbooks for him.

These things are already familiar to him, and he knows very well how to extract the key points of the exam in a short period of time.

He had already thought about it. If he failed the entrance exam, it wouldn't matter if he studied for a few more years. After all, there was no age limit at that time.

With him around, anything difficult becomes easier.

While Mr. Yan was planning confidently, the aunt still glared with disgust and whispered: "Are you out of your mind? What's the use of reading? Look at that damn dad of yours. He has read so many books. Why don't you give me this?" Have you made a penny with your mother? Look at my aunt and uncle. They haven’t even finished elementary school, but aren’t they still enjoying a good life?”

Chu Yao smiled slightly. Her aunt's idea was not wrong, but her vision was not at the same level as Mr. Yan's.

Mr. Yan can see the world farther and wider than his aunt, so he knows the importance of reading.
