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

As the old wooden door creaked slightly from its age, Liang Ruotao, her eyes also red-rimmed, pushed it open and entered.

Just like that, without any warning, the older sister whom Liang Yili had been thinking about day and night, but who had only existed in her memories, suddenly burst into her field of vision.

In an instant, past life and present life, dream and reality... brought tears to Liang Yili's eyes.

The woman in front of me, Liang Ruotao, has straight black hair, rosy skin, and clear eyes; she is in the prime of her youth.

She looked at me with worried eyes: "Pear, are you feeling better?"

Seeing her younger sister's tears streaming down her face, she assumed she was still grieving over their mother's passing.

Liang Ruotao rushed forward, knelt beside the bed, and gently patted Liang Yili's back, choking back tears as she said:

"It's okay, Pear, you still have me. I will always be by your side."

Liang Yili wiped away her tears, gently shook her head, and smiled slightly.

"Sister, I'm not crying because I'm sad, I'm crying because I'm happy... I'm so happy, so very happy to see you like this..."

This is a vibrant and energetic older sister, not just a handful of dust.

"I've been waiting for a month, that's enough! Li Dong is about to start high school, I need to transfer his household registration here as soon as possible."

Liang Yongchang's resolute voice reached the ears of Liang Yili and her sister through the wooden door.

A shadow crossed Liang Yili's eyes. She grabbed Liang Ruotao's hand, her large, round eyes staring directly into Liang Ruotao's pupils, and asked:

"Sister, do you believe me?"

Liang Ruotao, who had just thought her sister's words were strange, was taken aback and said without hesitation, "Of course I believe you."

Liang Yili leaned over and presented the plan.

As her sister spoke, Liang Ruotao's brows sometimes relaxed and sometimes furrowed into a small mountain, showing her deep concern.

After a long while, a soft sigh came from the room.

"Pear, I believe you."

……

"Father, Mother, didn't you always complain that Peach and Pear were two money-losing items that would cut off my family line?"

Why are you all unhappy now that I'm bringing your beloved grandson back?

Liang Yongchang squatted down in front of the two old men, puzzled.

Liang Dajiang sat on a low stool, puffing on welding fumes, frowning and remaining silent.

Wang Pandi's eyes lit up instantly: "Grandson? His own son?"

A smug look flashed across Liang Yongchang's face: "Of course it's true!"

If it weren't for Hua and Chun saving the factory director and having a good relationship with the factory director's family...

Just because she only gave birth to two money-losing children, he would have divorced her long ago.

However, thinking of the warm wad of cash in his pocket and the favor Hua Hechun had earned this time, a satisfied expression appeared on Liang Yongchang's face.

Li Nuansi has been with him for so many years without any official status, so now that he has money, he might as well give her a grand welcome into the family.

While the news of Hua Hechun saving people hasn't died down, I should show my face to the factory director more often.

Who knows, he might just get the team leader position he's been dreaming of!

He has a beautiful wife by his side, has been promoted and made a fortune, and has a precious son who is already taller than him.

Liang Yongchang seemed to already see the wonderful life of his dreams beckoning to him.

Upon hearing that it was her own grandson, Wang Pandi, who had been worried about being gossiped about, immediately stopped hesitating and turned to look at Liang Dajiang:

"Our daughters will eventually marry into other families. We can't let two worthless girls break our eldest grandson's heart."

This marriage has to happen!

"Yongchang, hurry up and get it settled!"

Seeing Liang Yongchang glancing at Liang Dajiang, Wang Pandi comforted him, "If your father didn't object, it means he approves."

At this point, Wang Pandi's eyes darted around twice, and she pricked up her ears to listen to the sounds coming from inside the room.

After confirming that he hadn't heard anything, he leaned closer to Liang Yongchang and whispered, "..."

"You've received the compensation money?"

"Got it."

"Alright, I'll keep an eye on those two girls inside for you. I'll make sure they don't ruin your plans."

Liang Dajiang kept puffing on the welding fumes, his mind wavering.

Seeing that his wife and eldest son were already talking about how to hold a big banquet, he stopped struggling.

If you have to blame someone, blame the peaches and pears for their bad luck!

Who told them to be girls?

She's a 15-year-old girl now; she should be more sensible by now.

……

"Oh dear, what kind of life do I have? I'm so old, and I still have to drag my old bones around taking care of my whole family. Some people, on the other hand, don't even realize what kind of life they have..."

No sooner had he finished speaking than the door was flung open from the inside.

A hint of smugness flashed across Wang Pandi's face as she was deliberately making noise and throwing things around.

So what if they're city girls? Aren't they just like their useless mothers? When they come to her, they have to obediently do chores!

In her opinion, what's the point of sending two money-losing kids to school?

As long as there's food to eat and we don't starve, that's fine.

But the eldest son's wife was raised with great care.

Now that the eldest son's wife has passed away, and the eldest son is about to bring his eldest grandson back, she has to help discipline him properly and not let these two good-for-nothings cause trouble for her eldest grandson.

Unexpectedly, the method that had always worked before didn't work today.

In the past, whenever she said that, Liang Ruotao would immediately step forward and take over all the work in her hands, waiting for her to do her bidding. But now she stood motionless at the door, watching her without moving.

"What are you standing there like a log for? Instead of cooking, are you expecting this old man to serve you two?"

Since Hua Hechun's death, Liang Yili, who hadn't had much rest and was feeling a bit hungry, was amused by Wang Pandi's words.

Okay, okay, now that the sisters are here, Wang Pandi can't even cook anymore, right?

Since that's the case, then let's just not eat any of it!

In the courtyard, Liang Dajiang, who was squatting under the eaves puffing on welding fumes, frowned as he listened to the noisy commotion inside the house.

“Yongchang, Taozi and Lizi need to be disciplined. Your mother is an elder, after all. There’s no reason for her to be waited on by her elders.”

Liang Yongchang said with a displeased expression, "Hua Hechun used to keep a close eye on these two girls, and she would make a scene whenever I mentioned it..."

"Can a living person suffocate because of a dead person?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the room fell silent.

Immediately afterwards, Wang Pandi's terrified voice came from inside:

"Pear, Pear, don't be impulsive, let's talk this out!"

Sensing something was wrong, Liang Yongchang and his son exchanged a glance, then got up and rushed into the house.

Upon entering the house, they saw Liang Yili with her hand behind Wang Pandi's neck, holding a kitchen knife, staring at them like a wolf cub.

"Don't say a word! If any of you dare utter another sound, I'll drag Wang Pandi down to keep my mother company!"

Liang Yongchang's eyes flickered a few times, and his breathing became lighter.

"Pear, let's talk this out. That's your grandma! Hurting someone can land you in jail..."

"My mother is dead, why would I be afraid of going to jail? At worst, I'll trade my life for hers, and I'll be a hero again in 18 years!"

Liang Dajiang's lips twitched a few times.

Looking at Liang Yili, who was clearly provoked and seemed to have nothing to fear, she was like someone who had nothing to lose.

He tried to speak, trembling, but found himself unable to utter a sound, as if his throat was being choked.

“Wang Pandi, you are a woman yourself, and you were once someone’s daughter-in-law. How come you’re the first to discriminate against my mother?”

"Isn't my mom good enough to you? Money, clothes, food, what hasn't she thought of you? How have you treated her?"

“She had two major hemorrhages after giving birth to us sisters, and when you saw it wasn’t a grandson, you turned around and left.”

"Your Liang family is truly laughable."

"Liang Dajiang, you're the most hypocritical one. You always hide in the back and let Wang Pandi do the work. But what are you really like? Even the rats in the gutter aren't as cunning as you!"

"And you, Liang Yongchang, you are simply the most disgusting man I have ever met."

"As a man, he has no backbone whatsoever."

"You fawned over my mom like a dog just to get a free ride. But now that you've done it, why do you act all high and mighty, like you're inviolable?"

"As a husband, concealing the fact that he had a child out of wedlock before marriage is considered infidelity!"

“As a father, you have never cared about the life or death of my sister and me, which is unkind.”

"Over the years, have you ever brought a single penny of your salary home? Have you ever cared about my mother? Have you ever looked after my sister and me?"

"If it's going to rain, it's going to rain; if my father wants to remarry, I can't control it, and I can't stop it."

"But my mother has only been gone for a month, and you're already in such a hurry to let your mistress and illegitimate child into the house? Aren't you afraid of being gossiped about behind your back?"

“Liang Yongchang, since you have chosen to remarry, I will not stop you. But I have three conditions.”

"First, you can remarry, but you have to return my mother's compensation money! It's 1000 yuan in total."

Liang Yongchang's expression changed, his face filled with shock: "You!"

Liang Yili said expressionlessly, "There are no secrets that stay hidden forever. You really think we didn't know you took so much money from us sisters?"

"My mom saved three children, and each of the three families received 200 yuan."

"The city and county authorities saw that this matter had too great an impact, and because my sister and I are still minors and in school, they gave us 200 and 100 respectively."

"The factory manager also gave 100. That's a total of one thousand, am I right?"

Seeing that Liang Yongchang looked unwilling and glared at him without saying a word.

Liang Yili's pupils suddenly contracted, her brows furrowed with disgust, and she quickly held the kitchen knife she was holding to Wang Pandi's neck.

"Logically speaking, the money my mother earned from working so hard should be divided equally among you, me, and my sister."

“But Liang Yongchang, you can’t rush things. Your behavior is too unseemly.”

"My mother's body is barely cold, and you already want to use the money she earned working her life to bring your mistress into the house? Ha!"

"Aren't you afraid my mom will come looking for you in the middle of the night?"

"Give me all of your 1,000 yuan! If you dare not give it to me, I'll..."

As she spoke, Liang Yili tightened her grip on the knife, which frightened Wang Pandi into screaming.

Seeing that she was serious, Wang Pandi's composure instantly collapsed, and she cried out:

"Dajiang, Yongchang, give them to her, give them all to her! I'm only 50 years old, I don't want to die yet!"

Liang Dajiang's cloudy eyes gleamed with a cold, eerie light: "Your mother was born a member of the Liang family, and she died a ghost of the Liang family."

"This money should belong to your father! Why should you two girls get a share?"

Liang Yili smiled coldly, tightened her grip on the knife again, and in the blink of an eye, a bloody gash appeared on Wang Pandi's neck.

Before Liang Yili could speak, Liang Ruotao, who had been standing beside her, made a move.
