Reborn 99 Days Later, Becoming a Landlady and Getting into Tsinghua and Peking Universities

The morning sunlight gently filtered through the gauze curtains and fell on the headboard.

Hua Lichu rubbed her eyes, sat up, and stretched, like a kitten that had just woken up from a deep sleep, languid and content.

Although I went to bed late last night, I couldn't sleep a wink; all I experienced was the quiet night and the gentle breeze.

She was alone in the room; Hua Antao had already woken up.

"Sis, why didn't you wake me up together?"

As soon as she opened the door, she saw Hua Antao busy in the yard, and Hua Lichu said with annoyance.

Hua Antao glanced at her younger sister and said with a smile, "It's still early."

Although all three of them were very busy, she knew that of all the people who had gone to the provincial capital yesterday, her younger sister was the most exhausted.

My sister not only has to worry about the schedule, but also make decisions.

When it came time to set up a clothing stall at night, the one who was the most tired and shouted the loudest was still my younger sister.

So when Hua Antao woke up in the morning and saw Hua Lichu sleeping with her face flushed, she gently covered her with a blanket and tiptoed out of the room, not wanting to wake her up at all.

Hua Yuansheng poked his head out from the side: "You're up? Want to sleep a little longer?"

Hua Lichu shook her head when she thought about today's arrangements: "I'm not sleeping anymore, I've already had enough sleep."

"Okay! Go wash up and let's eat!"

Because there was a large open grassy area on the side, Hua Yuansheng brought Lao Niu with him when he came to the city to accompany his child to school.

During busy seasons, the old ox is tied to an empty meadow;

When Hua Yuansheng has some free time, he will lead the old ox to find a place with lush grass.

After the meal, the three of them worked together to load the remaining goods onto the oxcart. After saying goodbye to their landlord, Li Lian, they locked the door, drove the oxcart away, and headed straight for the county town.

When they reached the three-way intersection where they used to play the ring toss game, they stopped the oxcart and began to lay out the clothes.

Even during the daytime, there are quite a few people here because it's a holiday.

The three of them adopted the same sales tactics they used yesterday at the government square and started selling clothes.

By noon, another ten or so sets of clothes had been sold.

Hua Lichu stopped selling clothes and instead picked up a set of clothes, took her sister straight to the nearby commercial street, randomly picked a clothing store, and went inside.

"Hello, is anyone here?"

The clothing store owner, Li Fang, thought it was a customer and rushed forward enthusiastically: "Yes, yes, yes, I'll buy something..."

When Li Fang saw the clothes worn by the Tsinghua Li Chu sisters, her eyes lit up, and she quickly swallowed the words that were about to come out.

"What's wrong with you?"

Having been in business for several years, she could tell from Hua Antao's outfit that the two sisters were definitely not there to buy clothes.

Judging from her outfit, you wouldn't find anything as fashionable in the entire county, let alone in her shop.

Wait, why do these two girls look so familiar?

Li Fang's expression changed, she frowned, and looked at the two sisters warily.

Aren't these the two girls selling clothes at the crossroads?

The store is always busier during holidays.

But for some reason, only a handful of people showed up all morning.

I went out and asked around and found out that two sisters had come from the three-way intersection.

They said it was a new style from the provincial capital, and everyone flocked there.

Hua Li cut to the chase, saying, "I'd like to consign my clothes to you for resale, is that alright?"

Fearing that people might disagree, Hua Lichu added, "I won't take advantage of you; I'll pay you the rent."

Li Fang was secretly delighted.

He immediately asked warily, "Why?"

Don't think she doesn't know; their business is booming.

In just the ten minutes or so she spent sneaking a peek that morning, she sold one set.

Hua Lichu put on a bitter face: "You must have seen it too? As long as you have time and patience, our clothes will sell out easily."

The difficulty lies in the fact that we don't have much time.

Seeing Li Fang's puzzled expression, Hua Lichu pointed to the right side of her coat.

"We are students from the city's high school, and we only had three days off in total."

It's already noon on the second day, but I still have some things to do at home, so I don't have time to slowly sell them in the county town.

So, can I leave my clothes with you to sell?

Li Fang looked Hua Lichu up and down, leaned closer to look at the words on the school uniform, and after confirming them, she pondered for a moment and then nodded.

but,

"What if we can't sell a single unit?"

Hua Lichu smiled and said, "The rent will still be paid."

Don't worry, it won't take up much of your time, and you won't need to do any sales pitches.

Whenever someone comes, you just need to help collect the money.

I've already marked the prices; just collect the money according to those prices!

Upon hearing this, Li Fang was astonished. Could there really be such a good thing?

Is it possible to sit and collect rent simply by providing a space to put a few sets of clothes?

They quickly pulled Hua Lichu aside and settled the rent.

Hua Lichu took out a notebook from her schoolbag, wrote down "contract," and both parties signed their names.

Although it's called a contract, the content is actually quite simple.

It roughly means that on a certain day of a certain month of a certain year, Li Fang received a certain amount of rent from Hua Lichu and helped consign a certain number of clothes.

Just as Hua Lichu and her sister were about to leave, Li Fang suddenly called out to them:

"Wait! Tell me your home address."

Hua Lichu was taken aback for a moment, a glint of light flashing in her eyes, and said:

"I'm from Huajia Village nearby. When you get to the village, just ask anyone where Lizi's house is, and someone will take you there."

Li Fang nodded.

After leaving Li Fang's house, Hua Lichu and her sister returned to the crossroads, picked up a large bag of clothes, and went to another street.

I found a clothing store and consigned my clothes there.

Hua Lichu only stopped after operating in this way for four stores.

"Grandpa, let's go home."

"Not for sale?"

Hua Lichu chuckled: "The bait has been laid, now we just wait for the fish to take the bait!"

“Our clothes are all coordinated, and the prices are cheaper than elsewhere, so there shouldn’t be any problems,” Hua Antao said.

Seeing that both of his granddaughters looked confident, Hua Yuansheng nodded.

Without saying anything more, he waved his bullwhip and headed towards Huajia Village.

However, just as they reached the village entrance, they saw villagers rushing towards them, shouting:

"Uncle Sheng, she's here! She's here! She's bringing more than twenty brothers with her!"

Hua Yuansheng was completely bewildered: "What? Who's here?"

"Who else? Jasmine! She's brought more than twenty brothers from her maternal family!"

Hua Yuansheng asked in confusion, "Why did you bring so many people? Did something happen to my brother's family?"

The man slapped his thigh: "Nothing's wrong! I bet it's something your Anshan did to offend Jasmine, and she got upset..."

Upon hearing this, the three generations of the family could no longer remain seated.

They drove the oxcart straight to Hua Yuanqing's house.

The enthusiastic villagers kept running after them, saying, "We're all family. We should make up before we fall asleep. How can you go home and call for help every time you disagree?"

With your son Anshan's small frame, he probably wouldn't even be able to withstand a single punch from the Jasmine brothers..."
