Chapter 399: Not a Foster Mother 40
"Oh my, Madam Xiao Bao is truly compassionate and loyal. Her niece almost stabbed her heart with a knife, yet she’s still willing to spend such a large sum of money on her. Tsk tsk tsk..."
"I heard Xiao Bao’s dad was a soldier who sacrificed himself when Xiao Bao was just a year old. This military widow’s demeanor is truly remarkable—righteous, generous, and forgiving."
"Pah, that girl hasn’t learned well. At such a young age, she got involved with the wrong sort of people, even caused a kidnapping case. It’s just Madam Xiao Bao’s kindheartedness that she gave her money. If it were me, I’d consider it lucky not to beat her to death."
"Indeed, she almost harmed her only son, and the culprit turned out to be the niece’s boyfriend. Who knows how hurt Madam Xiao Bao must feel inside."
"That girl is just clueless, actually coming to plead for the kidnapper. She’s really ungrateful."
...
Wang Xiaoyan clutched the card tightly, feeling utterly embarrassed from the scoldings, furious yet not daring to lash out, but she held resentment towards her aunt in her heart.
If it hadn’t been for her aunt driving her out and publicizing the matter in front of everyone, how would she end up being scolded?
Her humiliation was witnessed by her classmates.
She could already imagine how her classmates would talk about her when she went to school the next day.
Fortunately, the college entrance exam was just a few days away. Once it was over, she would wait to receive her acceptance letter, then head to university life and never return to this neighborhood.
Wang Xiaoyan dragged her luggage away in embarrassment amidst the crowd’s disdainful curses.
A few days later, the college entrance exams arrived. Early in the morning, Yuan Chun got up to prepare the most delicious breakfast for her son, prepared fruits, then drove him to the exam hall.
After her son entered the exam hall, Yuan Chun hurriedly went to the supermarket to buy groceries, went home to cook, and when the time was about right, she went to pick up her son for lunch.
She didn’t dare to ask how her son did on the exam, fearing it would pressure him.
Just like that, Yuan Chun busied herself for three days, and the college entrance exams finally ended.
After Xiao Bao received the acceptance letter, Yuan Chun reserved a restaurant and held a grand celebration banquet for him, inviting all his classmates to dine.
Of course, Yuan Chun didn’t have the children bring gifts.
The red envelopes from family and friends, Yuan Chun merely let her son hold onto them.
Afterwards, the mother and son locked up their home, got in the car, and traveled everywhere.
When Xiao Bao started school, Fan Lei’s case also reached a verdict, and based on the information provided by those loan shark thugs, the police also took down a criminal organization.
An organization that deliberately lured people into gambling, then forced them to take high-interest loans.
The police arrested all the organization members, saving many families about to face destruction due to high-interest debts.
At the time, the incident caused quite a stir, and the public was grateful to the police officers. Yuan Chun even custom-ordered a silk banner and sent it to the police station.
Xiao Bao got into Beijing University, which isn’t far from Yuan Chun’s home—a one-hour drive—but as a freshman, Xiao Bao had to live on campus, so it was just Yuan Chun living at home.
Yuan Chun didn’t want to go back to work or open a store.
She also didn’t want to sit idly and eat away at her savings.
After thinking it over, Yuan Chun used the money to buy a laptop, planning to earn money by writing novels.
In 2006, there weren’t many novel websites, but there were a few with promising prospects.
Yuan Chun chose the one with the best outlook. She had a good way with words and plenty of experiences, so she could write ten to twenty thousand words of period dramas a day. Within half a month, she published a hundred thousand words and successfully signed a contract with a novel website.
