Chapter 31: Do You Want to Continue Your Studies?

“Shen Xiuxiu, what are you doing here?!”

Shen Anan’s eyes widened in surprise at the person blocking her path.

“I should be asking you that! How did you do it? To avoid going to the countryside, you actually managed to get the whole country to cancel the program?”

Shen Xiuxiu stared intently at Shen Anan, her eyes filled with jealousy and resentment.

“It has nothing to do with me.”

Shen Anan didn’t want to say anything more to her. She had to hurry to the market to buy vegetables; otherwise, she would be late for cooking.

She sidestepped Shen Xiuxiu.

“You dare to leave?”

Shen Xiuxiu rushed forward.

“Why are you always against me! I am the real daughter of the Shen family, you are just a country bumpkin, you should go back to the countryside!

You staying in Hecheng is just to make my life miserable, isn’t it? Shen Anan, how can you be so selfish?”

She questioned loudly, accusing Shen Anan.

It was as if she had a belly full of grievances.

She couldn’t understand why, after her rebirth, she couldn’t even beat Shen Anan.

She was just an eighteen-year-old girl!

Shen Anan ignored her.

She had figured it out. Shen Xiuxiu and her mother were the same kind of people, always thinking that Shen Anan was trying to oppose them.

What had she done? She just wanted to stay in Hecheng and eke out a living, that’s all!

As long as the Shen family didn’t bother her, she could even go her whole life without seeing them.

Shen Xiuxiu, ignored by Shen Anan, became even more angry and grabbed Shen Anan’s shoulders.

“Shen Anan, you just want to stay in Hecheng to find a chance to return to the Shen family, don’t you? I know!

I tell you, as long as I, Shen Xiuxiu, am alive for a day, you will never be able to return to the Shen family!”

She roared, her eyes wide.

Seeing Shen Xiuxiu’s frantic appearance, Shen Anan frowned.

She didn’t quite understand Shen Xiuxiu’s thoughts. What made Shen Xiuxiu think she wanted to return to the Shen family?

She now wished to stay far away from the Shen family!

“Say something! Did I hit the nail on the head? Shen Anan, do you think you can beat me?”

Shen Xiuxiu’s voice grew louder, attracting the attention of several people passing by who were preparing to buy vegetables.

Seeing that she was about to be surrounded by onlookers, Shen Anan really didn’t want to argue with her anymore, and forcefully threw off her grip.

“Shen Xiuxiu, I don’t want to fight with you. If possible, I even wish I had never been switched at birth.”

This was her heartfelt words.

If she hadn’t been switched at birth, she wouldn’t have appeared in Hecheng, and none of this would have happened.

“Do you think saying that will fool me? Shen Anan, don’t you know how many people want to be city people? And the Shen family will later…” become Hecheng’s richest family.

Shen Xiuxiu suddenly stopped speaking.

She glanced nervously at Shen Anan, and when she saw that the other party hadn’t noticed anything, she breathed a sigh of relief.

She almost revealed that the Shen family would become Hecheng’s richest family in the future!

“What happens to the Shen family in the future has nothing to do with me, and I don’t want to have anything to do with your Shen family. Can you stop bothering me?”

Shen Anan was too lazy to say anything more.

Even if the Shen family made a fortune, Shen Anan wouldn’t get involved!

She now somewhat regretted making a wish on her eighteenth birthday that Shen Yaozu would go to high school and that the Shen family’s conditions would improve.

If she had known this would happen, she should have wished that the Shen family would never bother her again!

“Then why did you deliberately delay going to the countryside until today? Didn’t you already know that the notice to cancel the program would be issued today?”

Shen Xiuxiu came to her senses and continued to question.

Only then did she remember that in her previous life, it was also around October 1978 when the nationwide program to send educated youth to the countryside was canceled.

Even she had forgotten the exact date, but Shen Anan had chosen it perfectly!

She even suspected that Shen Anan might have also been reborn…

“Didn’t you sign me up for this batch of educated youth going to the countryside? Now you ask me if I knew beforehand?”

Shen Anan was speechless.

Seeing that the onlookers were starting to whisper, she turned and left.

It was a waste of breath to say more.

She couldn’t understand what Shen Xiuxiu was always conspiring about!

Watching Shen Anan’s departing figure, Shen Xiuxiu stood there dumbfounded.

Could it be that Shen Anan was simply lucky?

After buying vegetables and returning home, Shen Anan continued to provide dietary therapy for Yang Qiuju. With her consistent efforts, Yang Qiuju’s health had indeed improved considerably.

Huo Aihua took his wife to the hospital for a check-up. Her physical weakness had surprisingly improved significantly, and even her various organs were showing improvement.

Returning home, Huo Aihua went directly to his son’s room.

Sure enough, he saw Shen Anan buried in the study of prescriptions.

“Xiao Shen, your dietary therapy is really effective. Do you want to continue your studies?”

The college entrance examination had been reinstated at the end of last year. He originally thought that this child had poor grades and didn’t get into college, but now he understood that it was probably because her adoptive parents didn’t let her go to university.

“This year’s college entrance examination is over. If you want to continue your studies, how about taking it next year?

Don’t worry about tuition and living expenses; we’ll take care of it!”

Huo Aihua had indeed seen Shen Anan’s talent, so he spared no effort to help her.

If such a child could receive systematic learning, her future achievements would be immeasurable!

Shen Anan shook her head.

“Uncle Huo, I know you’ve all been very kind to me, but I also have my own ideas.

I think my current life is pretty good, and I can study on my own, and if I have any questions, I can ask Uncle Huo. I’m very satisfied with this learning life!

Besides, Aunt Yang’s health has just improved, and I want to continue to provide her with dietary therapy, and I also want to take care of Big Brother Huo…”

Shen Anan replied sincerely.

She wasn’t someone who would take advantage of others. The Huo family’s kindness to her was something she could never repay in her lifetime.

Now, when the Huo family needed her help, she didn’t want to leave to go to university.

“This child…”

Huo Aihua felt a headache coming on.

You say a child is ignorant and it’s infuriating, but if a child is too sensible, you’re also helpless!

But he had to admit that the Huo family currently needed Shen Anan.

If Shen Anan left, the family would return to its chaotic state.

Especially his son. As a father, he could clearly sense that his son’s mental state had improved a lot since Xiao Shen came.

Before, he would stay in his room all day, only eating a couple of bites at meals, and it seemed like he was going to become reclusive!

But look at him now, he can eat and drink, and he talks a lot more, although most of what he says is to tease people…

Not to mention his wife, her energy is completely renewed!

But he couldn’t just let Shen Anan, such a talented child, learn in isolation. Although he could answer some questions, he wasn’t a specialist in traditional Chinese medicine, and he didn’t understand some issues himself.

At this time, Huo Rufeng, who hadn’t spoken, suddenly said, “Isn’t there a night school near the hospital? I remember there’s a special class for traditional Chinese medicine?”
