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

"Is a dozen eggs more important than your granddaughter?"

What kind of factory can earn enough to buy a house in two or three years?

I think Qian Yingying is dressed so extravagantly that she doesn't look like a decent girl at all. Who knows what kind of shady business she's up to outside!

A gentle yet stern female voice retorted.

When Yuan Xiang saw her own mother talking about her "idol" in such a way, she was indignant and tried to rush into the house.

Seeing this, Liang Yili quickly grabbed her arm.

He pulled a pair of socks out of his pocket and stuffed them into her hand: "Thank you so much for today."

"It's just a little water, how could it be worth a pair of your socks? Take it back right now."

Yuan Xiangqiao immediately disregarded everything else and wanted to return the socks.

Amid the shoving, the three walked out of the courtyard gate.

"Keep it, the water's going to spill."

"If you really feel bad accepting it, then every time I come to Aojiaping to sell things, I'll get my water from your house. Don't think I'm bothering you then!" Liang Yili said, half-jokingly and half-seriously.

Yuan Xiangqiao then gave up: "Hey, it's just some water, right? Fill it up as much as you want, there's plenty!"

Liang Yili glanced at the corner of the courtyard and said casually:

"You have quite a lot of recyclables at home? Why don't you sell them to a recycling center?"

Yuan Xiangqiao followed Liang Yili's gaze and said, "What are you talking about?"

My grandma insisted that the recyclables could be sold for money and wouldn't let me throw them away.

But after waiting for months, no one came to collect the scrap! It just piled up and piled up until it reached this much!

Summer is already hot, and with so much junk piled up, the house is full of flies. It's so annoying!

I wonder when the scrap collectors will come…

Liang Yili's mind stirred slightly: "The scrap collector hasn't come for months?"

"Yes! The aunt next door was complaining about it yesterday!"

Liang Yili's eyes lit up instantly, and she grabbed Yuan Xiangqiao's arm:

"Does the aunt next door also have recyclables?"

Yuan Xiangqiao, unable to understand Liang Yili's excitement, said in bewilderment:

"That's right! Everyone knows that you can sell scrap for money..."

Liang Ruotao blinked, seemingly understanding the reason for Liang Yili's sudden excitement.

As expected, on the way back after saying goodbye to Yuan Xiangqiao, Liang Yili suddenly leaned closer and said:

"Sister, our oxcart will be empty anyway."

"What do you think about collecting some recyclables in the countryside and selling them at the recycling station in the county town?"

Liang Ruotao nodded vigorously without hesitation: "Okay! However, we don't know the recycling price of scrap metal. Let's ask today and start collecting tomorrow?"

"Good~"

Just as the two sisters were happy to have discovered another way to make money, they unknowingly walked to the front of the three-story red brick house.

Qian Yingying was casually leaning against the door, looking at the young girl in front of her with a critical eye, as if assessing her worth.

Beside them, the little girl's parents kept smiling and saying, "Yingying, I even held you when you were little!"

Now that you're successful, you mustn't forget your poor relatives. This is your sister Juan'er..."

The parent nudged Juan'er, whose head was drooping almost to her chest: "Are you mute? Call for help!"

Juan'er smiled shyly, her lips moving slightly: "Sister Yingying~"

"Speak louder! Even mosquitoes buzz louder than you!"

"Sister Yingying!"

Qian Yingying subtly sized Juan'er up and down, a hint of satisfaction flashing in her eyes, but a troubled expression on her face:

"Auntie, it's not that I'm unwilling to help, it's just that..."

Qian Yingying looked at the money the other party had handed her, rubbed it in her hand, and a hint of dissatisfaction flashed in her eyes.

She raised her hand and gathered the stray hairs that had fallen onto her cheeks.

The bracelet on her wrist shimmered with a golden light under the sunlight.

It stung the eyes of others and only strengthened her resolve to let her daughter leave with Qian Yingying.

He gritted his teeth, pulled out the remaining 5 yuan from his pocket, and forcefully stuffed it into Qian Yingying's hand:

"Yingying, please have a good heart and think of a way to help your aunt's family!"

My aunt's family is really having a tough time.

Your younger brother has been out of school for a few years now, and he's getting old enough to get married, but girls these days are so picky!

They demand both appliances and a dowry, unlike back in our day when a few pounds of grain were enough...

Your parents are so lucky to have such a wonderful daughter like you, unlike me…

As she spoke, she forcefully poked Juan'er's forehead with her finger:

"I gave birth to such a useless son, I can't even get him to say a word!"

I don't expect Juan'er to be as capable as you, helping with things like building the house... I just hope that once she's gone, she can help out at home.

Qian Yingying puffed out her chest, feeling elated by the flattery of those who had once looked down on her.

Her face showed feigned struggle, as if she was too embarrassed to refuse:

"Alright then, when I go out in a few days, I'll have Juan'er come with me!"

"Hey, good! I knew you were a good person, Yingying! Just as kind-hearted as your mother was when she was young! I didn't hold you for nothing when you were little!"

Qian Yingying's agreement finally put her mind at ease.

"If Juan'er does anything wrong or disobeys, you can hit her or scold her as you please..."

"When you're out and about, you must listen to your sister Yingying, understand? If I find out you're disobedient, I'll break your legs when we get back!"

After seeing off the two who had pledged their loyalty, Qian Yingying leaned against the door, watching their departing figures with a mocking smile on her face.

Haha, people! They're so interesting!

When she was a child, her family was so poor that they had to share a pair of pants. Who wouldn't be afraid of her?

I've never seen so many relatives worried that she might be hungry or cold, calling her to eat or giving her a coat.

Now it's fine,

I held you when you were little.

I fed you when you were little.

"I've felt this child is extraordinary ever since she was little."

It's true what they say: when you're poor, no one cares even in the bustling city; when you're rich, even distant relatives come calling from the deep mountains!

However, she didn't care either.

Qian Yingying held up the stack of small bills that had just been handed to her and casually blew on them.

His eyes flickered a few times, and a smile with an enigmatic meaning appeared on his face.

Having witnessed all of this, Liang Yili winked at Liang Ruotao and quickly left.

After the red brick house had completely disappeared, Liang Ruotao whispered:

"Pear, I feel like... that Qian Yingying is acting weird?"

A flash of malice crossed Liang Yili's eyes: "What's strange about it?"

"There's no such thing as a free lunch. If it were really that lucrative, why didn't she bring her parents along?"

Liang Ruotao thought for a moment and then said, "Besides, I've inquired and found that factories in Guangdong province can only earn a hundred or two a month at most."

Even if she worked for a full two years, 24 months, at 200 yuan a month, the total would be 4800 yuan.

Dowry 1688

Refrigerators and color TVs, wouldn't they cost over a thousand?

A three-story red brick house must cost several thousand, right?

And that doesn't even include her own food, clothing, and lodging... The clothes she was wearing didn't look cheap either.

See that big gold bracelet on her wrist? You can't get that without a lot of money!

Besides, she doesn't look like someone who does manual labor!

Most importantly, who doesn't keep their money tightly under wraps after making it?

Her family, on the contrary, seemed to be afraid that others wouldn't know she was making money outside, as if... they were deliberately trying to attract attention.

Don't you find that strange?
