Yu Jihui: “A Stinking Old Ninth – A Tale of the Coal Capital” (updated on July 2020)
I hoped I would pass the examination too. I
waited and waited. Two weeks later, I got a letter
from the university. It was an admission notice. I had
been admitted into the university. I ran to Xi Si and
told her the happy news. Xi Si took me to see her
mother and sister. Her mother smiled and agreed to
let Xi Si marry me. Her sister smiled at me too. She
said, “Soapy, you must be good to my sister. She has
sacrificed everything for you. If you let her down,
your conscience will be condemned to guilt.”
“I swear, I will never disappoint her.”
The next day, Xi Si and I went to the
matrimonial agency to register and became legal as
husband and wife.
Big Wang quickly learnt about it. She swore to
break us up. She went to my dormitory twice, but I
happened to not be there.
