Reborn before the famine, kicking away the scumbag's family and living a carefree life.

124. Congratulations

The villagers who came to watch the spectacle were all laughing and joking.

"Getting into university isn't that easy. I heard the acceptance rate is very low."

Jin Gui: "It's not easy to get into university. If it were that easy, it wouldn't be worth much. But just because it's not easy doesn't mean we shouldn't try!"

"Just like farming, if you don't put in the effort and spend the time, can the crops grow? It's not easy. Life is not easy for anyone. Even if it's not easy, you still have to work hard, otherwise you'll either starve to death or stay in your job and never amount to anything."

"Jin Gui truly lives up to his reputation as a county magistrate; he speaks with such finesse!"

Someone sighed, "Our family is struggling! The children are all at school, so who will earn work points? Without work points, we won't get any food, and we'll go hungry."

"Yes! Yes! There are so many children in the family, so many mouths to feed, and they all go to school. It's just the two of us earning work points, how can that be enough to eat?"

"Who told you to have seven or eight? Three is enough."

"She's already in my belly, how can she not give birth?"

Everyone laughed.

While everyone was chatting, Liu Yulan pulled Su Jinru into the house.

"What do we do? So many people have come!"

Su Jinru: "Those who came later were not invited by us; they came on their own. We didn't prepare any food, so they can understand. We can just give them a couple of candies. Besides, they're here to watch the fun, not to eat, so they can understand."

Only after Su Jinru said this did Liu Yulan feel at ease.

These three large tables of food are enough to feed the elderly couple for a month.

Although it was her eldest daughter who arranged the event, she still felt bad about it. But these people were people she should have invited; they were people she needed to do to show her respect.

So it hurts, but it hurts.

But with so many people arriving all at once, she was afraid that if she didn't treat them well, people would gossip and say that they were no longer friendly because their son had been admitted to university.

Luckily, my daughter was thoughtful and bought some candy in advance to distribute.

When Liu Yulan saw that her daughter had bought almost a whole basket of candy, she lost her composure again.

"How much money would it cost to buy so much candy?"

"Not much, less than twenty yuan?"

"Less than twenty yuan, so it must be more than ten yuan? Add in the food, and you'll have two months' salary gone."

“Mom, if I dare to spend it, I have the ability to earn it back. Don’t worry about these things. Ah Xuan got into university, the National University of Defense Technology, which is a great university. Spending this little bit of money is worth it.”

As Su Jinru spoke, she pushed her mother out.

That day, all the adults and children in Daben Village were talking about Su's son getting into university.

Qi Zhengyang's house was only a little over a hundred meters away from Su Jinru's house, so he naturally heard about what was going on with the Su family.

The excitement and glory of the Su family, along with the sound of firecrackers, shattered his heart.

In their past life, the Su family suffered from starvation and decline. The elderly Su couple and their only son starved to death, and their third daughter married into the Zeng family in the village, where she was abused and tortured, and died young.

The eldest daughter of the second daughter of the Su family married An Rong, but they eventually divorced and died of illness at a young age.

In this life, their family was so lucky. Not only did they not starve to death, but one of them was admitted to university and the other joined the army and made meritorious contributions.

In contrast, the Qi family was completely different. An Rong, who was the most promising in the previous life, is now disabled and has become self-destructive and indifferent to others.

An Hua and An Fu were also private school teachers in their previous lives. Later, they were promoted to permanent positions and became respected teachers. An Yan also went to work as a saleswoman in a department store, a respectable and leisurely job.

In addition, Anran and Anxin were admitted to vocational schools, got formal jobs, and received government rations. All the children of the Qi family left Daben Village, escaped the fate of being peasants, and became the envy of everyone in Daben Village.

But in this life, apart from An Xin and An Ran whose fate is unknown, the children of the Qi family will probably never have a chance to rise above their circumstances.

The only thing to be thankful for is that two of the eldest brother's children, An Gui and An Hong, starved to death in their previous life, but in this life, both children are safe and sound.

All six children are alive, but they are all barely making ends meet. What's the point of having a large number of children?

Moreover, these children have now lost all ties with him.

In his past life, these children obeyed him obediently, but now they treat him with indifference.

Especially An Rong, this nephew treated him very badly and ignored him.

Qi Zhengyang was heartbroken and extremely saddened.

He poured his heart out to these children, but they hated him in return.

An Rong's leg was crippled, and he blamed everything on him.

Indeed, if he hadn't strongly recommended that he join the army, he wouldn't have become disabled.

But can we blame him? He meant well, hoping he would succeed, and he didn't want him to end up like this.

Qi Zhengyang felt that none of this was normal.

For the past few years, he's felt that something is wrong.

Today, a thought suddenly popped into Qi Zhengyang's head.

Did Su Jinru steal the Qi family's luck, causing the Qi family to decline while the Su family prospered?

That must be it, otherwise he couldn't explain why the Qi family was so lucky in their previous life, but so unlucky in this one.

The Su family, who suffered misfortune in their previous life, enjoys good fortune and success in this one.

But how did Su Jinru manage to steal the Qi family's good fortune?

Qi Zhengyang wanted to consult a fortune teller, but in this era, fortune tellers have all been censored, and it's impossible to find one.

Qi Zhengyang was playing with his son Anzhi at the door when several children ran over eating candy.

Anzhi reached out for candy.

The children said, "If you want candy, go to Anran's house. Anran's mother bought a lot of candy, and everyone who goes there will get candy."

"Yes! Two for each person! My mom won't even buy me one candy a year, but other people buy so many at once. Anran's family is rich! They can't possibly finish all the candy."

"This one candy, if I keep it in my mouth, will keep me sweet all day. I'll eat the other one another day."

"Well, it's so sweet."

The children were talking and slurping their words, which made Anzhi want some too, but he wouldn't say anything. He just reached out his hand, staring at the children's mouths while his own mouth was drooling.

An Yu was quite eloquent. She said to Qi Zhengyang, "Dad, I want to eat candy too. I want to go to An Ran's house to ask for candy."

When Qi Zhengyang heard his daughter say she was going to the Su family to ask for candy, he instantly flew into a rage.

He remembered the time when he went to Su Jinru to ask for food during the famine.

From that moment on, he could never hold his head up in front of Su Jinru again.

Countless times in the dead of night, when he recalls that scene, he feels overwhelmed with shame and wishes he could die immediately.

The humiliation Su Jinru inflicted on him will be enough to cause him pain for the rest of his life.

Now, his daughter still wants to ask Su Jinru for candy.

Enraged, Qi Zhengyang slapped An Yu across the face.
