157 Reason

The truth wasn’t that simple.

Song Mei was a young child and had only been out of the city a few times. Her idea of going abroad was not without reason.

It turned out that she was unable to keep up with the pace of her studies.

Although she studied hard, the children in her class were either the children of teachers or had invited private tutors. Although she was also reading books and finding questions to do after class, she had no one to help her, so it was inevitable that she would miss something.

Song Mei’s eyes were also red. They were clearly not as good as her in the lower grades, so how did they catch up in the upper grades? She, who had always been proud of her good grades, couldn’t stand this kind of “humiliation”.

One day, Song Mei asked her deskmate where she should go to junior high school. Song Mei wanted to go to Jiang City junior high school the most. She hoped that her good friend could still accompany her to junior high.

In the end, her deskmate smiled apologetically. “My parents have arranged for me to go to an aristocratic high school.”

Song Mei was still in a daze when the person in front of her turned around and said, “Me too! We’ll go abroad to study at a University later.”

Their faces were filled with smiles of relief. Only Song Mei did not know what it meant to go abroad.

“Ah, it’s hard to study in China.” her deskmate patted Song Mei’s shoulder. “My parents are afraid it’s too hard for me, so they want to send me abroad. Then, I don’t have to work hard anymore.”

Song Mei muttered in her heart. You’re working hard? You sleep in class every day, don’t do your homework, and even copy my notes.

Song Mei, on the other hand, had to memorize her composition and practice her math questions every day. She was the one who was really tired. Her classmate’s unintentional words actually made her feel sour in her heart.

She also wanted to live such a life.

Wasn’t there a TV series called “Tokyo Love Story” recently? Song Meimei liked the male and female leads in the drama. She felt that the world in foreign countries was romantic and relaxed, with nothing to worry about. Everyone was happy and could live their own lives.

Moreover, their class hours were shorter than her, so they could go home early. This was more comfortable than doing questions in school every day. They could also read comics at home, and it didn’t matter how long they read.

Her deskmate also said that if she went abroad, she would not need to take the college entrance examination.

Song Mei knew what the college entrance examination meant. Her cousin had just finished her college entrance examination two years ago and did pretty well. However, she was dissatisfied and wanted to repeat her studies. As a result, her entire body was yellow and thin, and she looked particularly haggard.

Most importantly, her cousin had said if they were to take the college entrance examination, all the tapes would be thrown away by the parents. They were in a state of desperation.

Song Mei knew that her mother would do the same. She didn’t it. These tapes were her life!

Thinking about it this way, she really should go abroad.

She counted on her fingers and realized that she was about to enter junior high school. If she didn’t tell them now, she would be attending junior high school in China. It would be too late for her to go abroad. She quickly told Sister Song about this.

Sister Song was shocked. She looked at Song Mei in disbelief. “Who told you that?”

Although she was born in a big city, Sister Song had never thought of sending her child abroad.

Song Mei puffed out her chest. “My classmate said it’s very easy to go to school overseas. There were no exams, and the teachers would not be fierce. How comfortable would that be?”

Sister Song had also heard about this from her Mahjong friends. Returning from overseas was very respected now. The salary was more than double of studying in the country. At that time, she only felt envious when she heard this, but she never thought of sending the child away.

But now that Song Mei had mentioned it, and she suddenly felt that it might be a good thing to go abroad. It would be so relaxing, and the future would be bright. Her child would not have to suffer the college entrance examination and would be able to live comfortably in the future.

Sister song hesitated. Going abroad was nothing more than spending some money. She thought about how hard Song Mei had been working and how hard it had been for her. She couldn’t bear to let her baby walk the path of an ordinary person.

However, going abroad required many procedures, which might affect her studies. And even if they did, how could they guarantee the child’s safety? Even though Song Mei would be an adult by then, her mother still couldn’t help but worry.

Sister song kept thinking about it and didn’t have the appetite to eat or drink. She even started to lose weight. Song Mei was so worried that she didn’t even want to go to school.

Sister Song wanted to discuss this matter with her husband, but he was not in charge of the household. He only cared about his work and felt that the child had her own ideas. Wasn’t she just trying to compete? When the excitement died down, and they didn’t want to go out, all the money would be spent in vain.

With that said, Sister Song became even more hesitant, so she could only look for Qu Zhi.
