In the end, it was Grandpa who came up with a solution.
He said that when they entered the city, they rescued an elderly gentleman and took him to the hospital.
The elderly gentleman's children were not around, and he needed care, so Ye Huan volunteered to help. This way, she could take care of him, earn a wage, and learn from the old gentleman.
Just say this to others for now. Since Ye Huan wanted to go to school, she should just go. There's no need to wait for summer break. Start attending school now, and when the time comes, directly take the high school entrance exam. Everyone would just know she was studying under someone, and years later when she gets into university, the credit would be attributed to the excellent teaching of that old gentleman.
Ye Huan felt that this lie would not be easily exposed. That way, she could attend school, stay in school, and still come out to earn some living expenses. Her family wouldn't need to bear any financial burden.
