Xincheng County now has only one high school, which is the former Xincheng No. 2 Junior High School, now Xincheng High School.

In 1956, high school classes were added and the school was renamed Xincheng County Complete Middle School. During the Wg period, the high school department was closed until December 1978, when it resumed enrollment and has continued to do so ever since.

The scale of Xincheng High School is not very large nowadays. Students who are good at studying are willing to go to technical secondary schools. For those who are not good at studying, the chances of getting into university after three years of high school are very slim. Most families are unwilling to let their children go to high school.

Therefore, when high schools reported for registration at the beginning of the semester, the number of students who actually registered was much smaller than the number of students who received notifications.

The school's principal and teachers are also worried about the issue of student recruitment.

When Wan An Ning sent Wan An Jing to Xincheng High School, he thought he would be embarrassed for being late, but not only was he not embarrassed, he also enjoyed the treatment of having a teacher accompany him throughout the process of completing the admission procedures.

After paying the tuition and accommodation fees, and watching Wan Anjing tidy up the dormitory, get her textbooks and enter the classroom, Wan Anning left the school with peace of mind.

A private clinic next to May Day Park in the county town.

Old Mrs. Shu had a gloomy face and slapped Shu Ting in the face.

"Snapped!"

Shu Ting covered her face and shed tears silently, looking ahead without saying a word.

"You useless thing, why did I raise such a shameless thing like you? Tell me yourself, when did you sleep with him?"

"Mom, I beg you, I don't want to marry Feng Zhanpeng, I...Brother Haoyuan said that he went to the south to earn the betrothal gift, and when he comes back, he will definitely give me double the betrothal gift to marry me. Mom, the Feng family only gave 200 yuan in betrothal gift, which is not enough for my brother to marry a wife. Please give me some time, wait for Brother Haoyuan to come back, and I will ask him to give 600, no, 1,000 yuan in betrothal gift, okay?"

"Bah! You useless thing, if you take good care of yourself and are a pure and innocent girl, I would only ask for 200 yuan as a betrothal gift."

Shu Ting covered her stomach with her hands, lowered her head and stopped talking.

"I'm telling you, while you're still pregnant and can still hide it, you should marry me honestly. If you dare to do anything weird again, I'll pour a bowl of medicine and put an end to this evil creature."

Old Mrs. Shu tapped Shu Ting's forehead with her finger: "Did you hear that?"

Shu Ting was unwilling: "Mom, Brother Haoyuan said he would give double the betrothal gift..."

Speaking of this, Old Mrs. Shu was even more furious. She had been strong all her life, but she met with a setback in her old age. She was tricked by a young boy who used sweet words to deceive the girl she had raised with great difficulty and made her pregnant. Now she has disappeared.

What’s even more outrageous is that after Mrs. Shu found out her daughter was pregnant, she immediately went to the Li family to ask for an explanation, only to find that the Li family was surrounded by a group of debt collectors!

She was so scared that she didn't even dare to mention Shu Ting's pregnancy and just left.

She glared at Shu Ting fiercely: "You are still thinking about that bastard, he is a pawnbroker, not only did he cheat you of your body, he also cheated a lot of people of their money. Not to mention that he has disappeared now, even if he didn't run away now, I would not agree to you marrying him!"

Shu Ting had tears in her eyes, wondering how things had turned out like this?

Li Haoyuan was so good to her at first, why did he suddenly...

"Why are you crying? Hold it back. I'm telling you, you better behave yourself before we get married. As for that guy named Li, forget about it!"

Shu Ting shrank her neck, not daring to say anything else. She only said with red eyes and a hoarse voice, "Mom, I know."

Old Mrs. Shu left the clinic with Shu Ting, cursing, and Wan An Ning came out pushing a bicycle.

She had been feeling a little uncomfortable in her stomach these past two days, which was a sign before her period. When her period came, the pain was unbearable. She remembered that there was an old Chinese doctor here who was very good at regulating menstruation, so she thought of coming here to get some medicine to regulate her body. Just as she was about to enter the clinic, she suddenly heard her second cousin's name, and she stopped out of curiosity.

But I didn't expect to hear such explosive news.

Shu Ting is pregnant!

The child is Li Haoyuan's!

But now, Shu Ting is going to marry Feng Zhanpeng while pregnant!

Wan An Ning looked at the mother and daughter's receding backs, with a complicated expression for a moment.

If the Shu family told the Feng family about Shu Ting's pregnancy, and Feng Zhanpeng still chose to marry her, Wan An Ning would naturally have nothing to say.

But the mother and daughter kept this a secret from Feng Zhanpeng, letting him take over and raise the child for Li Haoyuan. It would have been fine if Wan An Ning didn't know about it, but now that she knew, she certainly couldn't just sit back and watch!

After consulting an old Chinese doctor and getting some medicine prescribed, Wan An Ning rode his bike back home.

Feng Zhanpeng and Yao Jinhua have already gone back.

Feng Xiangmei was sitting in the yard rubbing salt on the remaining pork belly. There was no refrigerator at home, and the meat could not be kept in the hot weather, so marinating it with salt would make it last longer.

Seeing Wan An Ning coming back, Feng Xiangmei paused while applying salt.

"Are you back? Have you completed the admission procedures?"

Wan An Ning nodded: "Mom, I'm not going against you. Jingjing's grades are better than mine. When I didn't get into technical secondary school, you let me go to high school. Now Jingjing's grades are better than mine. If you don't let her go, aren't you afraid that she will blame you in the future?"

Feng Xiangmei paused for a moment, glanced at Wan An Ning, and then calmly tied the salted pork belly with a hemp rope and hung it under the eaves.

"Let her blame me if she wants to. I can't control that much. Things are different now. When you were here, your father and I had given up the idea of ​​having a son. We thought that if you went to high school and could get into college, your father and I would be proud and we would have some face in the village. Now..."

At this point, Feng Xiangmei paused and said, "Now that your father has a new wife and is about to have a son, will he still be able to take care of us in the future?

Plus, I'm pregnant now, and raising the child after it's born will be a huge expense, and there are so many things to do at home and outside...

An An, I know you feel sorry for her if you don't let her go to high school, but the situation is different now. Who could have thought that these things would happen?"

Feng Xiangmei's eyes were moist and her voice was choked. It was obvious that her heart was not as calm as she looked.

Wan An Ning reached out and hugged Feng Xiangmei, patting her back gently.

After Feng Xiangmei gradually calmed down, Wan An Ning said, "Mom, have you read the passbook I gave you?"

Feng Xiangmei shook her head: "Not yet, what's the matter? Is it because Jingjing doesn't have enough tuition for school? Wait, I'll get it for you..."

Seeing Feng Xiangmei go to the inner room to get the passbook, Wan An Ning also followed her into the inner room.

"Mom, Jingjing's tuition has been paid, don't worry, open your passbook and see how much money is in it!"

Feng Xiangmei's hand, which was about to extend it, stopped in mid-air. She took it back in confusion, opened the passbook and took a look at it, then her eyes widened instantly.

"One, two, three, three zeros. That's five, five thousand dollars?"

She looked at Wan An Ning with a little disbelief.
