I shouldn't be beaten by a hatchet

Chapter 166 Su Cherry's Family

Hearing this, Su Yue took the basket from her sister, trotted towards the pigsty, and prepared to give the piggies the smell of fresh pasture.

Su Cherry's expression was solemn, and she took several deep breaths before walking towards the house with heavy steps.

Looking at this posture, it doesn't look like meeting your mother at all, it's more like meeting a strict teacher or leader.

Opening the door curtain, the overall tone of the room is gray and dark, the furniture is simple and shabby, and the only electrical appliance is probably the black and white TV set in front of it, which may be older than Su Cherry.

The floor is paved with bricks with uneven grooves, and the walls have not been repaired and painted for many years. Not only does it look dirty and dilapidated, but there are many damaged cracks.

Most of the windows, which were already narrow, were covered with newspapers, blocking sunlight from entering and making the already gloomy indoor atmosphere even more depressing.

At this time, Su Cherry stepped over the threshold, the cold temperature in the room made her shiver unconsciously, and looked at the three-meter-long big heated kang in the east.

On the side of the kang near the window, lay a middle-aged man in an old Chinese tunic suit, enjoying the only sunlight in the room.

This is her father Lu Dehua.

And her mother, Su Mei, was cleaning up the flies flying around the house with a swatter.

She has short hair that is mostly gray, a narrow forehead, pointed cheekbones, a pair of small cloudy eyes, and a face covered with knife-like wrinkles. She looks much older than her actual age.

Seeing Su Cherry come in, she stopped what she was doing, sat down on the kang with her buttocks up, and said with a cold face, "Su Cherry, your teacher sent over the class report card for the final exam this morning!"

"Then, mom, how much did I pass!"

Su Cherry's heart suddenly raised her throat. She remembered what her mother said before, if she couldn't get into the top [-] in the class this time, she would drop out of school and work.

It's not that she's afraid of working and suffering, it's just that she doesn't want to leave Yeran so early.

"See for yourself!"

Su Mei didn't say much, and threw an old Nokia on the table.

Su Cherry quickly grabbed it. It was a Nokia with keys. The screen was so small that it could only display a small part of the report card at one time. She had to switch up and down constantly to find her name.

However, she didn't press it down in a hurry, but moved to the top of the report card in a breath, and the familiar name came into view.

Yeran: Mathematics 150, English 142, Mandarin 132, Literature and History 276, total score 700, class 1, grade 1.

Sure enough, Xiao Ran was still so good, with a total score of 700 points, 36 points ahead of Shangguan Yanran, who was ranked second.

A smile appeared on her delicate face. Although the grades had nothing to do with her, the better Yeran did in the exam, the happier she would be.

"Su Cherry, you still dare to laugh with such a low score in the test. How do you have the face to smile? Your sister's No.1 smile in the whole grade is not as bright as yours."

Su Mei, who had been observing Su Cherry, felt as if her hair had exploded. She slapped the table heavily with her big hand, and pointed at Su Cherry's nose to scold her.

Su Cherry suddenly didn't dare to smile anymore, her small face became stiff again, and she began to search for her grades.

Finally, she found her name in the middle of the class report card.

Su Cherry: Mathematics 112, English 76, Mandarin 92, comprehensive literature and history 176, total score 456, class 27, grade 471.
Seeing this result, she couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief, and the stone hanging in her heart also fell into her stomach.

All subjects have improved, the most obvious of which is mathematics. In the past, each test was only about 60 points, but with Ye Ran's help, it abruptly improved by 60 points.

No matter how you say it, at least she squeezed into the top [-] in the class, so that she can continue to study in the third year of high school, and thinking of seeing Yeran every day again, her heart is as sweet as drinking honey.

"It's all from the same ass of my old lady. Look at your sister, she is always in the top three in the grade every time. Look at yourself. You don't feel ashamed with such a low score in the test."

Su Mei crossed her arms, crossed her legs, and poured a basin of cold water on her face very rudely.

The slightly raised curve of Su Cherry's mouth froze. She helped the falling black mirror frame and looked at her mother in confusion.

I have made great progress in this exam, nearly 100 points higher than before. Even if there is no encouragement, I shouldn't be punished.

"You're not doing well in school, go to school with me tomorrow to go through the withdrawal procedures, and then follow your aunt to go to the underground coal mine in the second half of the year. The money you earn will pay for your sister's high school, college, and raising you so big. It's time to return home inside!"

Su Mei took a sip of cold water with an iron ladle, her voice was a little indifferent, and there was no expression on her face. Just a few simple words sealed the fate of the eldest daughter.

"I……"

Su Cherry's face turned pale in an instant, her delicate body began to tremble uncontrollably, her small hands were clenched into fists, her nails were deeply embedded in her flesh, and tears had already begun to roll in her eyes.

She couldn't understand why she had to drop out of school to work after she had clearly achieved the goal set by her mother in this exam!
"You, you, with your score, you won't be able to get into any good university after studying, but your sister, if you work hard, it is entirely possible to become the first imperial university student in our township."

She grabbed the flower-coloured collar, took off her muddy cloth shoes and lay down on the bed, emphasizing: "So, it's pointless for you to continue wasting money, and go to the coal mine early in the next six months, do you hear me?"

Su Cherry bit her lips tightly with her white teeth, and a salty taste filled her mouth. Suddenly, she felt a little overwhelmed, but the only thing she knew was that she didn't want to drop out of school.

"Mom, I want to continue my studies, at least finish high school. Regardless of my final grades, I will not go to college. I will definitely work hard to earn money for my sister to go to school."

This is the most sincere thought in her heart, as long as she finishes high school, she will have no chance to see Ye Ran again, and it doesn't matter what she wants to do then.

"Well, you little bastard, after studying outside for a few years, your wings are stiff, aren't you, and you don't listen to what my mother says?"

Unexpectedly, when Su Mei heard this, she became angry immediately, and spit flew far away, "I'll leave the words to you, the coal kiln where you work has been watched for you, you have to go, there is no need to discuss! "

"Did you hear me, don't stand there like a dead man!"

"I……"

The long-term growth environment did not give her the courage to resist after all, just when she shrugged her head weakly and was about to nod in agreement.

The door curtain was lifted again, and a petite figure hurried in, accompanied by a crisp voice.

"I don't agree, Mom, if you let my sister drop out of school, then I won't study anymore. I want to go to the coal mine with my sister to make money!"
