<h4>Chapter 272: Another Top-Scorer</h4>


    <strong>Trantor: </strong>Lonelytree


    Zhang Xian’s imprisonment, Xiao Chengcai’s divorce, Zhang Chunjiao’s disgrace, and Zhang Chunjiao’s eldest daughter, Xiao Dahua’s divorce, these things happened nonstop. It was like a curse had fallen upon these two families.


    Xiao Fuqi was unwilling to get a divorce, despite the urging from his mother. He was afraid that he wouldn’t be able to marry again after the divorce, and he would really be single for the rest of his life.


    Therefore, he swallowed the embarrassment. Losing his face was better than losing his wife.


    This made Xiao Fuqi’s mother so angry that she was about to have a stroke. But in the end, there was nothing she could do. She moved back to her old house and pretended not to see them.


    Xiao Dahua was sent back to her mother’s house to wait for her divorce. This matter made Zhang Chunjiao furious.


    She brought her daughter to Ten Mile Vige to make a scene. The Guo Family didn’t even answer the door because they were ashamed to have a disgraceful inw like Zhang Chunjiao. Furthermore, they had concrete evidence of Xiao Dahua’s adultery.


    In the past, they had forgiven her own due to the child. However, the incident with Zhang Chunjiao had pushed the Guo Family over the edge. Both the daughter-inw and mother-inw had brought shame to their family. The Guo Family decided to have a clean cut-off.


    The Guo Family ignored Zhang Chunjiao. Zhang Chunjiao couldn’t get support from her inw or her maiden family, so she couldn’t make too big of a scene.


    In the end, Zhang Chunjiao had no choice but to return home reluctantly and vent her anger on Xiao Fuqi.


    In the past, Xiao Fuqi would give in to her and let her scold and beat him, but it was different now.


    Xiao Fuqi had reasons to be angry. Ever since Zhang Chunjiao’s incident at Xing An Town, Xiao Fuqi turned to alcohol. Whenever?he got drunk, he would give Zhang Chunjiao a good beating. Xiao Dahua wanted to save her mother, so Xiao Fuqi beat both of them up.


    After this happened a few times, Zhang Chunjiao was really afraid. Her rotund figure became thinner. Her previous arrogance turned into weakness.


    Xiao Fuqi grumbled, “You really need to beat some sense into these women.” In the end, Xiao Dahua was divorced by her husband.


    Xiao Chengcai also divorced Zhang Xian. Paying half was better than paying all. Zhang Xian was furious. She cursed her ex-husband from inside the prison.


    Xiao Chengcai didn’t care at all.


    As forpensation, Xiao Chengcai wasn’t willing to sell his house ornd. He didn’t want to work for the Xiao Family for free either. Therefore, this issue reached a stalemate. Xiao Chengcai’s mother woulde and make a scene with the Xiao Family from time to time.


    But one day, Xiao Chengcai’s house caught on fire. Xiao Chengcai’s 12-year-old son was yful and identally set the woodshed on fire. After the me caught, he ran away because he was afraid of being scolded.


    When the fire was discovered, the entire woodshed was already burning. Fortunately, everyone put out the fire in time, and only one woodshed and one kitchen were damaged. This gave Xiao Chengcai’s family quite a scare. If their house had burned down, where would they stay?


    Many vigers said that this was their retribution. They had been so cruel that even God couldn’t stand them anymore. If they continued to be so stubborn, they would be punished further.


    Xiao Chengcai’s mother and Xiao Chengcai were frightened by this and immediately toned down their actions.


    In an instant, Xiao Lingyu’s family found peace.


    ...


    Since Gong Tianhao had made the promise to pursue Xiao Lingyu, he took action. He would report to Xiao Lingyu every day and then stick to her side. It didn’t matter if Xiao Lingyu ignored him or not.


    He noticed that Xiao Lingyu was annoyed by Xiao Chengcai’s family, so he had Xiao Zhang add fuel to the fire while Xiao Chengcai’s son was ying. No one knew that the fire was intentional too.


    ...


    Soon after the fire, the strawberries entered theirst harvest period. Zeng Yaozu was the main reason why these strawberries could be sold so quickly.


    They harvested 44,000 catties of strawberries from six Mu ofnd. Xiao Lingyu sold around 10,000 catties. The customers came to pick around 5000 catties. The rest were all sold by Zeng Yaozu.


    The price of the strawberries went from 45 RMB, 60 RMB... all the way up to 300. Even their prices at the supermarket skyrocketed.


    The best example was City Z’s National Union Supermarket. From 15 RMB per strawberry, it had grown to 30 RMB per strawberry. However, the demand was still very high. Yan Yihai and Yan Ruyu didn’t expect this at all.


    4,000 catties of strawberries had actually earned them millions of profits. They had managed to win back their previous customer traffic.


    Such a huge profit simply shocked all the directors.


    At the same time, it also gave some directors the illusion that strawberries were easy to sell. Some of them suggested that they order strawberries from other ces. The price of strawberries from Taoyuan vige was too high.


    For the sake of more profits, most of the directors agreed. They bought the strawberries from somewhere else, but they sold them at the same high price.


    The result was obvious!


    Most of the strawberries were not sold. The small purchases were made because the customers took them wrongly.


    They had no choice. They had to turn back to Taoyuan Vige. However, they were toote. Taoyuan Vige’s strawberries had already all been booked. Yan Yihai’s face was livid with anger. The directors lowered their heads. They were ashamed and regretful at the same time.


    With thepletion of the strawberry work, Xiao Lingyu finally turned her attention tond contracts.


    She did notck money or seeds butnd.


    She knew that the vigers wouldn’t rent out their own farnd. They would farm thend themselves.


    However, there was plenty ofnd in the mountains.


    With the funds in her hands, she should be able to rent the surrounding mountains.


    While she was nning this, Xiao Lingyu received good news.


    “Sis, I got into Imperial University!” Xiao Lingye called home with a rare expression of excitement. He happily reported the news and said, “I am the top scorer in City Z with a score of 736.”


    Her younger brother, Xiao Lingye, got into Imperial University. Xiao Lingyu got into South University as the top scorer in liberal arts. Now, her young brother got into Imperial University as City Z’s top scorer in sciences.


    In her previous life, he scored better as the top scorer in the whole province, but that was because he repeated his exam. This was his original result.


    Xiao Lingyu immediately told the news to her parents, who were working in the fields.


    Father Xiao and Mother Xiao immediately put down the work in their hands and said excitedly and happily, “This is great!” Everyone working in the area could hear them cheering.


    “Did Lingye get into Imperial University?” Zhou Yan was happy. “That’s in Beijing. That’s a better university than the one Lingyu attended.”


    Mother Xiao nodded and said, “Yes, yes. Yu ‘Er also said that Ye ‘Er is the top scorer of science in our entire City Z.”


    When the others heard this, their eyes widened in surprise.


    Then, they all said happily, “Top scorer! Heavens, we have another top scorer?!” Their eyes unconsciously revealed a look of envy.


    Two top scorers in one family!


    Xiao Zhengyang and Chen Qiuying were really capable!


    How did their family raise such an outstanding pair of children?


    Mother Xiao said, “Father, quickly tell mom and dad about this good news. Mom and dad said that when our Ye ‘Er gets into university, they wille back with uncles and aunties to celebrate.”


    Father Xiao was so excited that he quickly took out his cell phone and called his distant rtives.


    When the phone rang and a familiar voice sounded, Father Xiao immediately said happily, “Big Brother, Tell Mom and dad that Ye ‘Er has been admitted to the university. It’s Imperial University! Ye ‘Er is City Z’s top-scorer in science!”


    When the other party heard this news, he also said happily, “Okay, okay, I’ll tell Mom and Dad Now!”


    After saying that, the other party shouted, “Dad, Mom, second brother called and said that Ye’er has been admitted to Imperial University and is the top scorer in City Z.”


    “That is great news. Let’s get ready and be prepared to go home to celebrate!”


    “Okay!”
