Chapter 62_1

His uncle said, "Ruoyu, you lost your parents early, and the compensation from their work accident was not much, it was all spent a few years ago. With our family situation, we simply can't afford to let you continue to high school or college. We're not capable. But we can't hold you back either. In reality, studying isn't very useful these days, college graduates earn less than factory workers do, and there's a lot of unemployment and joblessness. It's safer to learn a skill. We're definitely doing this for your benefit. Quite a few people from our town are working in a factory in Xiang City. The factory is apparently owned by a fellow townsman. You should go with them next month. They say you can make three or four thousand a month. Remember to send money home when you earn it, don't spend it frivolously! We'll be saving it for you."

Liu Ruoyu kept silent.
