In such a remote area, it didn't make much difference whether one went to school or not, since attending didn't result in any allocation of land or housing. Who knows, one might even have to compete with one's own daughter for property in the future.
It wasn't until Xiaoyu was a bit older and the village began to strictly check for unregistered residents again, following the policy, that Song Hui drank a couple of ounces of liquor and told the Village Secretary the truth.
At that time, Xiao Hua was very sick, and everyone knew their family had run out of money.
The Village Secretary took pity on him and registered Xiaoyu under the household of a relative who lived alone.
Not long after the registration was completed, the old lady who lived alone passed away.
Therefore, later on, Xiaoyu became a complete orphan, both in terms of her household registration and her emotions.
Father Du hadn't expected such an unforeseen benefit?!
