Reborn 99 Days Later, Becoming a Landlady and Getting into Tsinghua and Peking Universities
Chapter 212 Becoming a Self-Employed Individual
There are five people in the family. The mother, Li Qunfang, goes to work in the factory, the twin brothers go to school to take exams, and only Jiang Yicheng, who failed the exams, and Jiang Hai, who is recovering from an injury, are at home.
After finishing her meal, Jiang Yicheng quickly cleaned up the dishes and went straight into her bedroom.
He bent over, lay on the floor, and pulled a locked wooden box out from under the bed.
When the box was opened, it was filled with a pile of small bills—all the New Year's money she had received since childhood, as well as the pocket money her family gave her on a daily basis.
Jiang Yicheng hugged the small wooden box, poured all the money inside onto the bed, and began counting it.
But after counting it all, it was less than a hundred yuan.
Jiang Yicheng's brows furrowed into a small mountain. This shouldn't be the case. How come there's only so little money?
As the only girl in the Jiang family, Jiang Yicheng was pampered by her mother, father, and grandmother. Her cousins and younger brothers all had to appease her. She always received a sum of money during holidays.
Li Qunfang dotes on her daughter and never does things like, "Mom will keep this for you and give it to you when you grow up."
Therefore, Jiang Yicheng kept all the money she collected herself.
As if remembering something, a shadow crossed Jiang Yicheng's eyes, and a layer of ice formed on his expressionless handsome face.
Ah, so it turns out that she started supporting that despicable couple so early on!
“Yicheng, I heard that Qin Tianlang has his eye on the Longines watch in the department store… That watch is so expensive, if you buy it for him, he’ll definitely be happy and look at you in a new light.”
“Yicheng… my grandma took the money the village allocated to me to pay for my uncle’s wedding. This jar of pickled vegetables is what I’ll be eating for the whole month…”
"Sweetie? Are you short of money? How much? Dad will get it for you."
Jiang Hai, who was about to go to the kitchen to wash the dishes, found that the dishes had been washed. He hurriedly went to find his daughter, but found Jiang Yicheng holding her small wooden box in a daze. He quickly asked her what was wrong.
The coldness in Jiang Yicheng's eyes quickly faded, and she shook her head: "Dad, are you still sponsoring Yang Rongrong?"
Yang Rongrong's parents died in an accident while digging a canal two years ago, and the compensation money was taken by her grandparents.
Jiang Yicheng couldn't bear to see her good friend drop out of school, and Jiang Hai also valued talent. With the persuasion of the village officials, they began to sponsor Yang Rongrong's schooling.
Jiang Hai was taken aback, then nodded: "She got into the only university in our city this time. But I heard that starting with her graduating class, the policy will be changed, and universities will charge tuition, 200 yuan per year..."
Jiang Yicheng sneered: "We don't need to worry about her anymore. She's 18 years old now, and it's time for her to learn to be self-reliant."
Jiang Hai cautiously observed his daughter's expression and tentatively asked, "You're too busy with school to support yourself, right? That girl is quite sensible and ambitious..."
"I broke up with her!"
"what?"
Jiang Hai's voice suddenly rose several octaves: "Did she bully you?"
"Hmm~ She asked me to spend money on her. Look, all my New Year's money from when I was a child is here, but even if I put it all together, it doesn't amount to a hundred."
As the saying goes, strike the snake at its seven-inch mark.
She wanted to see if Yang Rongrong could still live as carefree as she did in her previous life without the Jiang family's financial support!
After all, Yang Rongrong later told everyone that it was all thanks to her own hard work that she could have succeeded even without the Jiang family's help!
Jiang Hai raised an eyebrow, looked carefully at the bed, and immediately changed his words:
"Okay, then we won't sponsor her! Sweetie, it's okay if the money's gone, but what about her...?"
Jiang Hai frowned, secretly regretting his actions.
He never expected that Yang Rongrong, who usually acted so obediently in front of him, would actually deceive Jiang Yicheng behind his back.
His precious daughter is so innocent; he shouldn't have let her associate with such a wolf in sheep's clothing!
Can Jiang Yicheng tell a doting father that Yang Rongrong encouraged her to date?
That's impossible to say!
She was certain that if she dared to say this, Jiang Hai would tear the roof off the house in the next second.
But that didn't stop her from putting a bad word to Yang Rongrong.
When Deli was with her as a ghost, all the things that had happened before were playing in his mind's eye like a movie, over and over again.
Therefore, Jiang Yicheng was intimately familiar with Yang Rongrong's actions.
After casually mentioning a few things Yang Rongrong had done behind her back, Jiang Hai immediately became furious and repeatedly promised that he would no longer provide financial assistance to Yang Rongrong.
Seeing that she had achieved her goal, Jiang Yicheng stopped dwelling on the matter.
I gathered all the money scattered on the bed, packed it up, and prepared to leave.
"Dad, I'm going to my grandpa's house. I'll be back later."
"Okay, pay attention to safety on the road."
Jiang Yicheng didn't go directly to her maternal grandfather Li Jiandang's house, but instead went to a small shop and bought a pound of flour and some miscellaneous seasonings.
As a true city dweller, Grandpa Li Jiandang's house was not a tenement building like Jiang Yicheng's, but a detached courtyard similar to a farmhouse.
"Grandpa, Auntie!"
"Hey! Orange's here?"
Li Jiandang and Li Qunlan exchanged glances, carefully observing Jiang Yicheng's expression.
My cousin, Li Xingye, cut to the chase: "Have you made a decision? Retake the exam or go to the factory?"
"A decision has been made."
Upon hearing this, Li Qunlan felt a huge weight lifted from her heart, and she beamed with joy:
"It's good that a decision has been made! In my opinion, a high school diploma is more than enough!"
You're our only high school student, what a success! We'll ask your grandpa to put in a good effort for you, and you can find a factory job when you come back..."
Li Jiandang frowned and retorted, "What do you know? It's a good thing that the child wants to go to school. Can't they repeat a grade?"
I saw your score; it's very close to the undergraduate admission line.
"If you don't like vocational colleges, let's work hard for another year, and we'll definitely get in next year!"
Seeing his cousin standing smiling to the side, Li Xingye felt a sudden unease.
"Orange, are you really sure?"
Jiang Yicheng nodded solemnly and said seriously, "It's really decided. I will neither repeat a year of high school nor go to work in a factory."
"What?" Li Jiandang, Li Qunlan, and Li Xingye exclaimed in unison.
Jiang Yicheng puffed out her cheeks and said, word by word, "I want to be a self-employed individual and make big money!"
