The Male Lead's Substitute Wife

Chapter 380

Ch.380 A good fit as the female lead (1)

When Chengcheng was one and a half years old, Sun Qin’s script was finally done after another five revised drafts and Su Yaya was fortunate enough to be her first reader.

The storyline was extremely vivid. The story revolved around a university student who came from the countryside. After graduating from university, he rejected a high-paying job in the big city and returned to the countryside to replace her former teacher’s position. She continued to teach in the village’s elementary school and passed on the knowledge she had learned to the children in the village. Through her hard work and care, several children were accepted into the city’s middle school, then to an even better high school, and finally to university, and succeeded in life.

After reading the script, Su Yaya told Sun Qin about her thoughts on it, "This story is extremely touching. I cried while reading it. Xiuqi jumped up in fright when he saw me in tears, he thought that there was something wrong with me, and I told him that I was crying because of the script you wrote. Xiuqi couldn’t help but laugh at me and said that I could even tear up from reading a script, how emotional I was, but I just think that your script is so well written, it feels like a real incident, and it’s extremely touching."

After hearing Su Yaya’s words, Sun Qin said in a serious tone: "This is based on a true story."

Su Yaya: "Uh......"

Sun Qin smiled and said, "The protagonist in the story is my teacher."

Su Yaya blinked, and was left in a slight daze. She had never asked about Sun Qin’s family matters. Since she met Sun Qin, she was already awarded the Three Gold Best Actress title, hence she just assumed that Sun Qin came from a well off family. She was such an impressive person, so she never expected that she came from the countryside.

Sun Qin reminisced about the past and exclaimed: "At that time, unlike the fierce competition now, even if the living conditions of the childrens in rural areas were not as good, but as long as they studied hard, they could still get into a good university. I am one of the children that got into university."

Su Yaya didn’t know that Sun Qin had such a life story, and said, "Mom, you must have gone through a hard time studying at the time."

Sun Qin nodded, "It’s not easy. I had to get up extremely early every morning and walk the mountain trail for an hour to get to school. Fortunately, I had my teacher. She was an extremely nice person, who nurtured us and encouraged us to study hard. She told us about the world outside the village. At that time, I was filled with curiosity about the outside world, so I listened to her and studied hard, then went to middle school in the city, then high school there, and ultimately to university."

Su Yaya looked at Sun Qin with much admiration on her face and said, "You’re so amazing! You must have worked extremely hard on your studies."

Sun Qin smiled, "Not really, I just fixed my mind on this path, and stuck to it."

Su Yaya said: "You got into a university in the city with a countryside background, you must have put in a lot of effort."

Sun Qin said with an "en" and exclaimed: "That was the case at that time. Everyone learned the same materials and was on the same level. As long as you put in the effort, you could get into a good school with good grades. However, now times are different, it is not as easy anymore. The children in the city start to receive good education from a young age, with access to more resources, better conditions, so they learn more things. Just like Chengcheng, he’s only over a year old, and he has early childhood development classes every week now. Later, he’ll have foreign language classes and interest classes. As long as he likes it and is willing to learn, Xiuqi will definitely provide. Just like when Xiuqi was a child, he learned everything that should be learned, and was even given the best, but children in rural areas don’t necessarily have such opportunities. Hence, the gap was already widened from the very start."

After Su Yaya became a mother, she also had this realisation. The people around always said to not let your children lose at the starting point in life. One by one, they gave their children such classes, so that they wouldn’t have to worry about their child not learning anything and would lose to the other kids who are the same age.
