Fu Ying couldn't think of anyone to turn to for a moment. In her past life, when Fu Yu's daughter and younger son wanted to enroll in Gumang Middle School, they also had to pull strings through connections. When Fu Ying returned home, she had occasionally heard Dad Fu mention a few people who had helped out a bit: someone named Cong who taught in Gumang, a relative by marriage of the next-door neighbor, and the village committee secretary's cousin.
Yet right now, these people didn't seem to have made their way up yet. She had no idea if that teacher had even started working at Gumang Middle School yet, and the cousin was still running a street stall selling cold dishes instead of having returned to the village to become a village cadre. Under the circumstances, only that next-door neighbor's relative by marriage had any chance of being able to help.
"Why don't you ask Brother Kui's family? Doesn't his eldest daughter live over by the supply and demand cooperative and often bring the kids back to visit? Her husband's family should know teachers at Gumang High School, right?" Brother Kui was the neighbor living directly to their right. In terms of age, he was the same as Dad Fu, but in terms of seniority, he belonged to Fu Ying's generation, which was why Fu Ying usually called him Brother Kui.
