Chapter 478: Chapter 479 A Trace of Guilt

Then, everyone watched as Zhao Mancao took out two brand-new ten-dollar notes, placing them in both students’ hands, and encouraged, "Guibao, Tingyun, you two have earned this reward. Don’t slack off now; strive to keep up your good work next year. Study hard, and aim for first place again next year!"

Their hearts were swell with excitement!

He truly had given ten dollars!

And there would be more rewards next year!!

Li Zhiqing followed, "The school has also decided to reward both of you with ten dollars each as an encouragement. Keep going!"

The crowd responded with even more enthusiasm, as if they had caught a glimpse of a new world.

Busy whispering to each other in huddles, a low murmuring strip of conversations swept over the dam.

"Getting twenty dollars for coming first; this is much more than doing chores at home!"

"My grandson will turn seven next year. I’m going to send him to the community school."

"I’ll send my son off to school in the spring too. He might be able to earn a bonus."

"Only the top student gets a bonus, with little geniuses like Guibao and Tingyun around. Even if we sent our children, they wouldn’t be able to get the bonus."

"Indeed, it means wasting money on pens and notebooks."

At this point, Li Zhiqing cleared his throat and announced, "The school has decided that from now on, the top three students in each class of the final exams will receive a cash prize!"

This reward was, of course, generously supported by Gu Qingshan and Jiang Manyun.

At these words, people’s hopes instantly rekindled. Their faces lit up with excitement, and their eyes were filled with resolve. They must send their children to school!

As parents, they all believed their children were smart.

Although unlikely to surpass the child geniuses of the Chen and Gu families, they are sure to outperform the other children. There’s a high chance of winning that merit money!

When that happens, it will be their family basking in glory!

Li Chunhua immediately decided to send Chen Xiaobao to school after the spring of next year.

Zhou Zhaodi felt even more satisfied with her decision. She nudged Chen Jiandang standing beside her and said, "Look, there’s money to be made from taking exams, not even waiting for graduation. Studying always brings in good money!"

"You’re very wise, my dear!" Chen Jiandang complimented her with a smile.

Zhao Mei and Chen Jianguo planned to go home and tell Dani and Erni to study hard and strive to rank in the top three.

Chen Jianmin and Liu Lanzhi were not in a hurry as their children, Yulin and Yuqi, were still years away from school. They would cross that bridge when they come to it!

Seeing everyone’s positive reaction, Li Zhiqing couldn’t be more satisfied.

Three days later, in the afternoon, Elderly Lady Li arrived again!

She planned to stay at elder son’s home for the night and take Sanni to the town early next morning.

Thinking of the thirty dollars she would soon pocket, she was over the moon and not eager to do anything else.

Knowing that she was about to sell Sanni to the townsfolk, Li Chunhua had a tint of guilt towards her eldest daughter. At dinner, she fried a plate of bacon and gave a generous portion to Sanni.

Sanni was stunned, unsure of what she was thinking.

She didn’t believe the woman before her had suddenly changed and started caring about her!

Chen Xiaobao was immediately displeased, "Mom, why do you have to share the meat with sister Sanni?!"

There wasn’t much bacon to start with, and if she shared it, there won’t be enough for him!

"There’s more here, Lind to share it all between you and Jinbao! Mom will make you something delicious tomorrow." Li Chunhua placated Chen Xiaobao by putting the bacon in front of him.

Anyway, Sanni would be gone soon, and they would have seventy dollars. She could buy a few pounds of meat for her sons then!

Chen Xiaobao finally held his peace and dived into the bacon.
