But Chen Nan was different; she refused to end up that way.
She resisted in an almost mutually destructive manner, stating decisively that if she couldn't study, no one (mainly her younger brother at home) should bother living. Only then did she win the chance to attend high school.
Of course, even though her family no longer stopped her, they also did not pay her tuition.
Chen Nan used the holidays to either collect scrap or work in restaurants and internet cafes, barely scraping together enough for tuition and living expenses.
After arriving at County First Middle School, she studied desperately, not wasting a single minute.
Because studying could change her fate, and most importantly, at County First Middle School, students with excellent grades could receive scholarships.
Each semester a few hundred yuan, just enough for Chen Nan to buy some tutoring books and test papers.
Chen Nan was smart and hardworking, with a fierce determination deep in her bones.
