Married to Officer, Pregnant Specialist becomes the Winner!-Chapter 290 - 289: Yang Manman Is Outstanding, but She Isn’t Inferior Either!

Chapter 290: Chapter 289: Yang Manman Is Outstanding, but She Isn’t Inferior Either!

Gu Baozhu was caught between tears and laughter. "Mom, how are you so sure it’s mine? You’re really confident in me! Maybe it’s someone else’s?"

Wu Meili stood with her hands on her hips. "My girl’s so good at studying, of course she can get into college."

"Mama’s gonna be a college student!" Niu Niu clenched his tiny fists, eyes shining.

"Quick, quick, don’t just stand there, go out and have a look."

Gu Baozhu didn’t dawdle either and went outside with the others.

Actually, she was holding out hope in her heart too.

Ever since Yang Guangming and his mother were arrested, and after her divorce from him, she brought her two kids and moved back in with her parents.

Although her parents and elder brother’s family treated her and the children well,

Gu Baozhu knew she still needed to have her own worth.

Taking the college entrance exam, striving to become a college student—that’s where Gu Baozhu’s value and her longing lay.

Over by the gate, the young mailman’s bicycle was barely stopped before he was surrounded by villagers.

"Comrade Li, you got any admission letters for kids from Huaihua Village? If you do, hurry up and hand them over!"

"Yeah, yeah!"

"How many are there?"

The mailman, Xiao Li, had never seen villagers so passionate the first time he delivered letters.

But he could understand why everyone was so excited and happy.

"That’s right, today there are three admission letters."

Three!

As Xiao Li pulled out those three admission letters, everyone’s eyes burned brightly, all fixed on them.

"Educated Youth Compound, Comrade Lu Weixian, Nanjing University."

The educated youths from the compound, just about all of them took the college entrance exam. They were the ones most hoping it’d be their passport back to the city.

So, everyone was really anxious about the results.

If one of them got an admission letter, they could go back home to the city.

If not, they’d have to stay in the countryside a while longer.

So, when word spread that the mailman had brought college admission letters, all the educated youths came running out.

The first admitted was Lu Weixian from the Educated Youth Compound.

"Xiao Lu, did you hear that? You got in!"

"Nanjing University—never thought Xiao Lu would pass!"

At that moment, Lu Weixian’s delicate face was in disbelief as he heard his own name.

Did he really get into Nanjing University?

Could it be true?

He got pushed up to the mailman by the crowd, and when he took the letter from Xiao Li’s hands,

seeing his name on it, tears of joy spilled from Lu Weixian’s eyes.

"I got in! I really got in..."

To be honest, among the educated youths, Lu Weixian wasn’t really eye-catching.

When he first came to Huaihua Village, he was just sixteen, with a baby face that made him look forever like a kid.

Plus, he was naturally shy, not good at making friends, and his family wasn’t well-off. So, nobody really bothered with him, nor tried to befriend him.

Lu Weixian mostly kept to himself.

He only came down to the countryside because his stepmother forced him, and his real dad didn’t care much either.

To him, it didn’t really matter whether he went or not.

Even if he had stayed in the city, no one truly loved him anyway.

He figured, well, if I gotta go, I’ll go. Even if I spend my whole life in the countryside, as long as it’s peaceful, that’s fine by me.

He just didn’t expect, the night Bao Shanyan and Wen Zhqing got married,

he happened to have a rare dream—and it was a haunting nightmare.

In the dream, he was the one marrying Bao Shanyan.

And then, Bao Shanyan ended up beating him to death.

Honestly, that dream really scared him.

As for the college entrance exam...

Actually, Lu Weixian’s grades were average, but he loved to read, so even after coming to the countryside, he never left his books.

So when the exam came back, besides excitement, he was actually pretty calm.

Whether he could get in or not, he just went with the flow.

Of course, getting in would be best.

He never expected he’d actually get in.

Lu Weixian clutched the admission letter, overwhelmed with joy and tears.

Around him, the educated youths had all kinds of looks in their eyes.

Some were envious, some jealous.

Most of all, though, there were cheers and congratulations from the Huaihua Village folks.

Some of the older ladies even looked him up and down, thinking about his usual character, and started trying to matchmake—planning to marry their girls to him right then and there.

The whole thing startled Lu Weixian.

With everyone’s urging, the owner of the second admission letter was revealed.

"Yang Manman, Hai City Normal University!"

Yang Manman froze, glanced at her husband Gu Yunting, and asked dumbly, "Am I hearing things?"

Gu Yunting was beyond excited, looked at his dazed wife, patted her head, and said, "You didn’t mishear—you got in!"

"Eldest daughter-in-law, you got in." Yao Chunhua was jubilant too.

The whole Gu Family was happy for Yang Manman.

The mailman walked over, holding out the letter to Yang Manman. "Comrade Yang Manman, right? Here’s your admission letter for Hai City Normal University."

Yang Manman took the letter with trembling hands, her eyes instantly red.

She covered her mouth, crying for joy.

"I didn’t think even Gu Family’s eldest daughter-in-law would take the college entrance exam! It’s not Big Brother Gu but his wife who took it, and she actually got in!"

"Anyone with talent can try. Who still cares if it’s male or female? Women can hold up half the sky too."

"Gu Family’s really open-minded—even lets their daughters-in-law go take the exam. Aren’t they worried about her getting in and then..."

Before that person could finish, someone next to him shot him a glare, and he quickly swallowed his words.

"With Gu Family so good, who’d ever want to leave?"

Gu Baozhu knew Yang Manman took the college entrance exam.

They’d even been in the same exam room.

But she had no idea how good Yang Manman’s grades were.

Now, seeing Yang Manman holding her admission letter, she realized it.

Yang Manman really was outstanding.

No wonder Gu Yunting had chosen Yang Manman back then.

At first, Gu Baozhu did feel a little jealous of Yang Manman marrying Gu Yunting, even a bit resentful.

But now, she’d already let it go.

She thought, she and Yang Manman each deserved their own lives; as long as they walked their own paths well, that’s enough.

Yang Manman was excellent,

but Gu Baozhu figured she wasn’t bad either.

Which was proven true, because under everyone’s hopeful gazes, the owner of today’s last admission letter was revealed.

"Gu Baozhu, Qin City University."

"Ah!" Wu Meili squealed in excitement, grabbing her daughter’s hand. "Baozhu, did you hear that? Did you hear? Your admission letter!"

"It’s Mom’s name!" Niu Niu standing nearby also clearly heard his mom’s name.

"No way, Gu Baozhu got in too!"

"What’s so unbelievable? I remember Baozhu’s grades were always good."

"See, girls can be just as good as boys!"
