Chapter 29: Chapter 29 Intimidation (9)_1
It wasn’t confidence in herself alone, but the fact that what she and Shen Liangnian shared in their past was irreplaceable for others.
Jing Haohao was born in a small town under Jiangshan City. She was only ten years old when she lost her parents, a year when there was a devastating flood in their town. It washed away many people, including her parents, and Shen Liangnian’s mother and sister.
That flood made Jing Haohao an orphan. But Shen Liangnian still had a father, who ran a small paper mill.
It was common at that ti in their small town to support orphans to attend school. Shen Liangnian’s father, a small business owner, happened to provide for Jing Haohao’s tuition.
That’s when Jing Haohao t Shen Liangnian.
Shen Liangnian was five years older than Jing Haohao. When she was thirteen years old and in her second half of the seventh grade, and eighteen-year-old Shen Liangnian began the stressful preparation for the college entrance exams.
That sa year, Shen Liangnian’s father suddenly fell increasing ill and beca bedridden.
To avoid interfering with Shen Liangnian’s studies, the task of caring for Mr. Shen fell entirely on the twelve-year-old Jing Haohao.
Shen Liangnian’s father passed away the day before Shen Liangnian’s college entrance exams. Worried it would affect Shen Liangnian’s performance, Jing Haohao didn’t tell him about his father’s death. Shen Liangnian was sequestered in the school at the ti, preparing for his exams.
When Shen Liangnian finished his exams and returned ho, he found his father already in his coffin with the help of neighbors.
Shen Liangnian’s father had so assets, but the illness exhausted their savings.
When the college entrance exam results ca out, Shen Liangnian perford well and was admitted to Jiangshan City University.
Jing Haohao advanced to eighth grade.
Both of them needed tuition.
The money Shen Liangnian earned throughout the sumr was barely enough for one person’s tuition.
In order for both of them to attend school, Shen Liangnian secretly went to the hospital to donate 500 cc of his blood, well above the national limit of 100 cc.
When Shen Liangnian was paying Jing Haohao’s tuition, a temporary blackout happened due to excessive blood loss.
At that ti, Jing Haohao was only thirteen, not understanding the lovesickness, but only knowing that a brother who was five years older than her traded his life for her one year of tuition.
The workload in the eighth grade was heavy. The school kept asking for money to buy test papers in an effort to improve exam results.
Shen Liangnian, working alone, had to save for their tuition for the following year and take care of their daily needs, which was indeed difficult.
At first, Jing Haohao didn’t know how hard Shen Liangnian’s life was until one New Year, Shen Liangnian didn’t co back. She hitched a ride to Jiangshan City alone and saw Shen Liangnian working in the bitter cold at a construction site. Only then did she realize where her daily necessities ca from.
She didn’t et Shen Liangnian and returned to the town the sa day. When school started in the spring next year, Jing Haohao dropped out and started saving the money Shen Liangnian regularly sent her every month. In the sumr of that year, with her saved 2800 yuan in hand, she sneaked away to Jiangshan City.
At fourteen, she had no formal education and was still a child. No place dared to employ her. Fortunately, she was pretty. By sheer luck, she got into TS Entertainnt Company and started her first year of being an actress, playing minor roles.
Shen Liangnian only found out that she had dropped out of school for half a year and signed a contract with TS Entertainnt Company, selling her services.
