I Transmigrated As A Villain's Mother

630 The Person in the Morning Light

The villagers knew Chen Guihua was going to college. Some could not stand it, while some were envious. Some of the young people her age were especially envious of her.

“Those who went to school are indeed different. Look, they won’t even interact with the villagers.”

“She’s a future university student. Why would she be friends with people like us? She’s going to the city to earn big money.” However, they did not speak loudly nor talk about it to the Chen family’s face, so Chen Guihua and her parents never heard such gossip.

However, it foreshadowed the changes in the villagers after Chen Guihua failed the college entrance examination several times.

The current Chen Guihua did not know, so she was polite to people she was not familiar with.

Mother Chen stood at the side and smiled proudly. The actress who played Mother Chen was an actress Qian Wu had worked with before. She looked gentle, kind, and like any common mother.

Song Ci greeted her and rehearsed their lines.

Qian Wu took advantage of this time to discuss with the villagers how they were going to shoot the scene later. He told the villagers to be bold and act like their usual selves. “Just treat her like you would your neighbor, and say whatever it is you would usually say.”

The villagers gave it a try, with Qian Wu correcting them a few times. Once he felt there were no problems, he called Song Ci and the actress who played mother Chen, Zhang Xia, over to start filming the scene.

Chen Guihua was walking on the side of the road with a straw hat and water in her hand. Mother Chen walked beside her and smiled as she told her about what would happen after she got into university. “When the time comes, your dad and I will send you to school together. I’ve lived for so long, yet have never seen what a university looks like… I heard from Old Wang next door that college students can apply for student loans from the village, but no one has ever got in. Let your father ask. If it’s not too troublesome, we can apply for it, don’t you think?”

Chen Guihua nodded. She had heard her classmates mention this before. Student loans had no interest during the four years of college, so students from villages liked to apply for them. This would also relieve the pressure on their families.

Mother Chen felt happy just thinking about the future. Although she only had one daughter and was always mocked by others who asked her daughter to be so capable, now, she woke up smiling even in her dreams. She was no longer mocked for not having a son, as her daughter was more outstanding. “You have to study hard in the city so that you can find a good job there. Don’t come back in the future. That way, your children can also study and live in the city.”

Chen Guihua felt her mother was thinking too far ahead, but she still smiled and nodded.

They talked as they walked forward. The villagers walked past them and asked her with a smile, “Are you done with your exams? How did you do?”

“It was alright.” Chen Guihua kept a low profile.

“That’s impressive.” The villager’s eyes twitched as he looked at her with admiration. “It’s great that our village can have a college student. I’ll let my son learn more from you later. Only college students are capable.”

A smile appeared once more on Mother Chen’s face. Chen Guihua did not know how to respond and could only smile politely.

As the two continued to walk forward, they were met by three to five more people. Without exception, they would ask Chen Guihua about her college entrance examination and said enviously that the Chen family had given birth to a good daughter.

Chen Guihua just stood there quietly, polite and a little shy. At first glance, it was obvious that she looked like a college student who was inexperienced with the world and did not know how to interact. She lowered her head, but the wide straw hat could not hide her delicate face. At that moment, she was like a bright light in the summer sky.

Then, Chen Guihua still liked summer very much…

After taking photos for the entire afternoon, Song Ci sent them to Lu Gan during her lunch break.

Lu Gan opened it and took a look. He smiled and said, “So this is the poor school belle.”

Song Ci smiled, feeling as if she had a good filter on her. After saying a few more words to Lu Gan, she went back to filming.

Song Ci did not return to the hotel to rest until 10 pm. As she had a big scene to shoot the next morning, she did not video call Lu Gan. Instead, she chatted with him for a while before taking a shower and resting.

At dawn the next morning, the first rays of light shone through the clouds and landed on the yellow ground. At the point where the sky met the earth, a figure slowly walked out.

She was wearing a white short-sleeved shirt and a pair of washed-out jeans, her long hair hanging down. Behind her was the light of dawn. She seemed to be walking out of it, beautiful and bright. For the audience watching the movie, this would be the first appearance of Chen Guihua.

Qian Wu took the opportunity to film this scene a couple more times before Song Ci came over to take a look.
