Chapter 171: Chapter 171 Ulterior Motives

Director Jiang from the county education bureau spoke up, "Luo Qiao, in fact, our county high school also has decent teaching quality, and we can even waive your tuition and miscellaneous fees. You might want to consider it."

Teacher Cao laughed and said, "Student Luo Qiao, the city’s Number One High School will also waive your tuition and miscellaneous fees, and every term the top three students in our school receive scholarships."

Luo Qiao turned to Director Jiang and bowed, saying, "Director Jiang, thank you for your kindness. Qingshan Village is closer to the city than to the county, and having relatives in the city means I have someone to turn to if needed. I am truly sorry.

The buses from the commune to the county are merely passing through, and I’ll be attending high school for three years. There will certainly be plenty of bus rides, yet those buses returning to the county tend to run at inconvenient times.

If I were to attend high school in the county, I’d either have to leave early or return late, which doesn’t suit me well. It’s not as much of an issue in the summer, when leaving early means it’s already light outside, and coming back late doesn’t mean it’s too late.

But in the winter, it becomes quite inconvenient. So, I’m very sorry, but please understand."

Director Jiang smiled and said, "What Student Luo Qiao says is the actual situation. I wish you a smooth study at the city’s Number One High School and hope you achieve even better results."

Luo Qiao smiled and replied, "Thank you, Director Jiang."

After seeing off the group, the work assignments in the village were nearly finished. Luo Qiao’s task for the day was to weed the soybean fields, and Auntie Gao and Qiao Lianlian had already picked up a hoe for her.

As Luo Qiao arrived, the villagers who hadn’t left yet asked, "Luo Qiao, what were those people here for?"

Luo Qiao replied with a smile, "They came to deliver the admission notice."

By the end of the morning, everyone in the village knew that Luo Qiao was admitted to the city’s Number One High School. The city, county, and commune middle schools had all awarded her scholarships—and quite generous ones at that, causing quite a buzz in the village.

Upon hearing the news, Gao Suhua spent the morning not knowing how many people purposefully greeted her, asking if she regretted her actions now?

That damned girl was infuriating; she seemed destined to bring down the Zhao Family. With an ugly expression, Gao Suhua cast a sideways glance toward the distant Luo Qiao and squinted her eyes.

Keep dreaming about going to school!

Li Xiulan’s mood wasn’t any better. She whispered to Gao Shunyi, "Is there really no way to deal with this?"

Gao Shunyi replied, "What can we do unless we turn the raw rice into cooked rice."

Though Gao Shunyi seemed to say this casually, those who knew him were aware that he did it on purpose.

After hearing these words, Li Xiulan had an idea. Luo Qiao’s residence was very secluded; if something were to happen there, the villagers wouldn’t hear it. As long as they could handle the situation and catch that girl in their trap, their plan would be complete.

Besides, Luo Qiao was just a girl and probably wouldn’t dare to make a fuss. With a sneer in her heart, Li Xiulan thought they needed to act quickly, or the scholarship money would likely be spent once Luo Qiao went to school.

Luo Qiao was utterly unaware of their schemes, but she was clear in her mind that she couldn’t keep today’s events secret—and some people were bound to be upset. However, she, Luo Qiao, was not someone to be trifled with.

Zhang Qiaoyan, standing not far away, watched Luo Qiao’s retreating back with a nasty look on her face. In her mind, she was thinking that no one should think about stepping over her head, her eyes filled with calculation. That look even startled her older brother, Zhang Dongning.

Luo Qiao would never have imagined, simply receiving an admission notice would lead so many people to conspire against her. But then again, she had lived several months in the post-apocalyptic world.

If someone really chose to confront her, they shouldn’t blame her for being impolite.

When work ended at noon, all the commune members discussed Luo Qiao’s situation. The Zhao Family must be regretting their actions by now, and many people in the village took delight in their misfortune, laughing at the spectacle.
