Luckily, the old village head was enthusiastic and scared the foolish and greedy woman, telling her that it was national law to provide nine years of compulsory education. If she didn't send the child to school, she would be arrested...
This scared the foolish, greedy village woman, who begrudgingly sent Wang Chuyi to school until middle school.
However, after middle school, his stepmother naturally refused to spend any more money on his education—besides, he wouldn't be able to get into high school, not even a vocational or technical school.
His brain simply couldn't handle studying. He was always at the bottom of his classes from elementary to middle school.
At fifteen, Wang Chuyi finished middle school and left home—somehow, he was noticed by the old monk in the wild temple on the mountain, who took him in as a disciple, making him a monk.
His stepmother had long thought of him as a burden; she couldn't have been happier to see him leave, eager to sever ties.
