She is so pitiful? I choose to pity myself first

Lin Tingyu recalled things from his previous life.

The Lin family was indeed quite extravagant in the past.

Shen Zhinian usually does all the housework by herself, but she always asks the housekeeper to come to her house to do a thorough cleaning once a week.

With the current prices, fifty yuan per time, her family could afford it.

The fifty dollars was paid because Shen Zhinian wanted to help the single, divorced aunt who was struggling to take care of her kids and had no income, so she came to clean the house.

Unexpectedly, such an action is seen as a display of luxury by outsiders.

Everyone thinks that their family is very rich. Even when the housekeeper takes out the garbage, they think it costs money.

Grandma Li felt that she was also helping them by disposing of the cartons and beverage bottles for them...

Lin Tingyu almost laughed out loud.

However, she was too lazy to argue with such a person, so she just said:

"So, Grandma Li, our family doesn't need your help now. You can relax a lot!"

Her sarcastic words made Grandma Li's face turn blue and purple.

The neighbor aunt next to her couldn't help but laugh out loud.

She had long been fed up with the fact that Old Lady Li always took advantage of the Lin family, and even publicized that she was just helping the Lin family dispose of garbage, and even took advantage of them. She also secretly complained about Shen Zhinian to other gossipy women, saying that Shen Zhinian married into the Lin family as a young lady and didn't even have to do housework herself...

Lin Tingyu glanced at the neighbor aunt and vaguely remembered it.

This auntie seemed to be the mother of Jiang Zaozao, the young lady who “spoke up for justice” in the park in her previous life.

"Hello Aunt Jiang."

Aunt Jiang nodded. "Xiaoyu is going to school? The college entrance examination is coming soon. You must work hard!"

Lin Tingyu still has a good impression of this aunt. She is a rare divorced mother with a child in this era, but she has raised her daughter very well.

In her previous life, Aunt Jiang seemed to have advised her mother not to be so nice to everyone and not to teach her to be like her...

But her mother wouldn't listen.

After that, Aunt Jiang interacted less with her mother.

Later, something seemed to happen to Aunt Jiang's family, so they moved away...

Lin Tingyu nodded, "I will."

Then, he carried away the two large bags of waste, which looked very heavy, without hesitation.

Grandma Li was watching from behind with envy.

What's wrong with the daughter-in-law of the Lin family? Didn't they just not bother to deal with it before and just give all these to her?

She said that she needed to save money now that her man was gone, but she had never seen Shen Zhinian save money. Didn’t she even ask the housekeeper to come to the house to clean up yesterday?

That two hours of cleaning costs fifty dollars!

Fifty dollars, how much scrap would she have to sell to earn that much...

Grandma Li was heartbroken and even felt a bit resentful towards Shen Zhinian and Lin Tingyu.

Lin Tingyu naturally knew that this old lady Li was the legendary "a little bit of rice is a favor, a peck of rice is a grudge."

After giving her such benefits for a long time, Old Lady Li took it for granted. She would even hate them if they stopped giving her benefits one day...

Lin Tingyu didn't bother to pay attention and directly took the cardboard box and beverage bottle to the scrap yard and sold them for twenty-two yuan.

This money was more than she imagined, and Lin Tingyu was a little surprised.

It turns out that the price at the scrap station is better than that at the scrap collector's shop. This cardboard box costs only 1.3 yuan per pound, and the cans in the beverage bottles are not weighed by pound, but by the number.

Lin Tingyu felt much better after receiving this unexpected fortune.

Soon they arrived at school, and Lin Tingyu went to participate in Teacher Bai's competition course. She was glad that she had reviewed mathematics first, so she was able to keep up.

There were more than thirty students attending this competition course, but in the end only the top three represented the school.

They need to hold an intramural competition this Friday to select the top three.

In his previous life, Lin Tingyu had always ranked first in academic performance, so naturally he also won first place in this school competition.

But she went to participate in the city mathematics competition on Saturday, the reason being...

Lin Tingyu looked at Sun Ranran who was sitting diagonally in front of her.

Just like in the previous life, on the way back to the dormitory, Sun Ranran kept crying to her:

"Tingyu, my mom said that if I don't get a place in this competition, she'll make me transfer schools... I don't want to transfer schools, I can't bear to leave you!"

Sun Ranran's mother had very high expectations for her and had always looked down on their school, thinking that the teachers there were not good enough, and wanted Sun Ranran to transfer to another school.

This is what Sun Ranran has been instilling in her since they became classmates.

In her previous life, Lin Tingyu cherished this friend very much, and even sympathized with the fact that she was forced by her parents and might need to move to an unfamiliar environment. She believed that Sun Ranran cherished their friendship and was reluctant to leave, so she helped Sun Ranran.

Sun Ranran's handwriting is very similar to hers. This was something Sun Ranran practiced word by word with her composition book when she was in the first year of high school.

Of course she seemed to say this:

"Tingyu, your handwriting is so beautiful! All the teachers of various subjects praise you. The Chinese teacher said that your handwriting is the standard for the examiners to give full marks. Let us learn from you...

I think your handwriting can be used as a model, can you lend me your composition book to practice your handwriting?"

In her previous life, when Lin Tingyu heard such "praise", she felt happy and blushing, even a little embarrassed, but when Sun Ranran insisted, she lent it to her.

Later she slowly came to her senses. After Sun Ranran did this, the rest of her essay had some of her influence on it.

Sun Ran then used all the celebrity examples she had used in her subsequent essay.

From then on, Sun Ranran's Chinese scores also rose sharply.

Then, this time...

Because she couldn't bear to see her good friend forced to transfer schools, she accepted Sun Ranran's cautious request for help and helped her...

This was the only time I cheated in my previous life.

When she and Sun Ranran were competing in school, their names were written at the end.

She wrote Sun Ranran's name on her test paper.

The two people's handwriting is so similar, and Sun Ranran's grades are not bad, so in the end the teachers didn't notice anything unusual.

In the end, Sun Ranran won the first place with full marks and represented the school in this mathematics competition.

But she got the test paper where Sun Ranran scored more than ten points less. Not to mention the top three, she couldn't even make it into the top ten.

In the previous life, Sun Ranran looked apologetic:

"I'm sorry, Tingyu. I thought if I worked harder and got third place, you could go too...but the last question was too difficult for me..."

Although Lin Tingyu felt it was a pity at the time, she still comforted Sun Ranran.

Anyway, she has participated in this kind of competition many times during her three years of high school.

But Lin Tingyu only realized later that this competition was completely different.

This competition is actually organized by S University to find the top mathematics students in the city. The top three will have the opportunity to get a place in the Department of Mathematics at S University!

Although Sun Ranran's grades are not bad, she is only good at mathematics. She has also received full marks in school. In mathematics, she is usually either tied for first or second with Lin Tingyu.

But her performance in other subjects was only average.

So, this is an opportunity for Sun Ranran.

In her previous life, although Sun Ranran did not get full marks, she ranked third in the competition and got a place in the Department of Mathematics at S University.

After the school announced the incident, Sun Ranran came over to apologize to her with a guilty look on her face:

"I'm sorry, Tingyu, you should have been the one who got the admission quota this time, but I took your place. I'm sorry, I just didn't want to be forced by my mom to transfer schools..."
