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

The blue sky overhead was clear and cloudless, with not a single cloud to block the scorching sun. Only an occasional breeze could bring some coolness.

The sun was high overhead, and even the air felt hot.

But this did not diminish the woman's eagerness to earn money.

A short while later, the woman returned pushing her small cart.

At first glance, the cart was piled high with all sorts of waste paper and plastic bottles.

As soon as the cart stopped, the woman grabbed Liang Yili's arm and approached the cart with a mysterious expression.

Upon lifting the top layer of waste cardboard, one is immediately struck by the various kinds of scrap metal inside.

It's not easy for people in rural areas to make money.

It's rare to encounter someone collecting recyclables, so everyone is very enthusiastic.

In just a short while, the women from before all came over pushing their carts.

Seeing them looking at her expectantly, Liang Yili smiled gently:

"Would you ladies please wait a moment while I sort through the scrap metal and weigh it?"

"Row!"

Liang Ruotao took out the gloves she had prepared beforehand and handed them over.

"Grandpa, please sort these scrap metals into categories first."

"Sis, when you inspect the aluminum wire, remember to peel back the insulation with your hands and take a close look inside."

As for herself, she was responsible for checking the things that Liang Ruotao had checked again.

When collecting recyclables for the first time, you can never be too careful.

The women found a shady spot and kept a close eye on Liang Yili and the other two, chatting casually as they went.

"Has your Xiaofang graduated yet? How's it going? Is she getting married or going out to work?"

“Hey, the child is still young. Her father and I want to keep her for another two years. We have a heavy burden at home, and she can help out.”

"Yes, once you're married, it's never as carefree as when you were a daughter at home. Your Xiaofang is beautiful, there's no rush."

"I think so too!"

Liang Yili, who was engrossed in sorting through the waste, twitched her ears slightly.

Next second,

“I’ve already talked to Lao Qian’s daughter about letting my Xiao Fang go out with her. We’re from the same village, so we can look after each other.”

That's how it is in rural areas.

When one person in the village becomes successful, everyone in the village wants their child to follow suit.

Liang Yili unconsciously touched the letter hidden in her pocket and pursed her lips.

I felt an invisible urgency about time.

As time passed, the sun did not rest because of people's hard work, and continued to mercilessly cast its scorching afterglow upon the earth.

Large beads of sweat trickled down her forehead and eyebrows, and when Liang Yili wasn't looking, they quietly slipped into her eyes.

"hiss!"

The salty sweat stung my eyes and caused a great deal of irritation.

Liang Ruotao, also covered in sweat, looked up at the sun overhead and licked her lips.

But the thought that the scraps in her hands could be turned into money filled Liang Ruotao with excitement.

Liangjia Village, Aojiaping.

"My dear grandson, eat more! Studying must be hard, right? Your chin has gotten so thin."

Wang Pandi smiled kindly as she watched Li Dong devour his meat.

Just as the tip of the bowl piled high with meat in front of Li Dong had just sunk a little, she swiftly grabbed a large piece of meat from the plate and put it into his bowl.

Liang Dajiang smiled, his eyes crinkling, and instinctively reached for the welding rod at his waist.

Suddenly remembering that Li Dong disliked the smell of smoke, he could only regretfully stroke the pipe.

Li Dong took a bite of meat and looked up at Wang Pandi:

"Milk, next time make it into braised pork, it's too greasy like this."

Braised pork?

Wang Pandi wanted to say that she didn't know how to do it.

But the words that were about to come out got stuck in her throat when she met Li Dong's expectant gaze.

"You like braised pork, right? Okay! Grandma will make braised pork next time!"

Since my eldest grandson has spoken, how could I not answer?

If you don't know how, then learn!

"Li Dong!"

A loud shout rang out from the room.

Li Dong, engrossed in eating meat, looked up and realized that Li Nuansi had left sometime earlier.

As if remembering something, Li Dong casually threw his chopsticks on the table and ran into the room.

Before even stepping into the house, I saw books carelessly tossed on the floor.

Li Dong squatted down, ignoring the anger in Li Nuansi's eyes that seemed to be burning him to ashes, and nervously picked up the book.

Li Nuansi frowned, her face cold.

Seeing Li Dong examining those tattered novels with a look of treasuring, she was furious, her face as red as an eggplant peel, panting heavily.

After carefully checking that the novels were not damaged, Li Dong gently placed them on the table.

Half guilty and half annoyed, she said, "Mom, I borrowed this from my classmate with great difficulty. How could you throw it on the ground?"

"Who gave you permission to see these things?"

I worked so hard to send you to school, and I served you like a maid every day. Is this how you repay me?

Before Li Dong could speak, Li Nuansi raised her hand and slapped him across the face.

"Snapped!"

Li Dong covered his face, looking at Li Nuansi with a shocked expression.

Li Nuansi sneered: "What a useless piece of trash! A hopeless case!"

Li Dong looked at Li Nuansi in disbelief.

This was the first time in his life he had seen such an expression on Li Nuansi's face, a face that was both stern and gentle.

Disgust, contempt, and ridicule.

It's like... looking at a pile of shit.

"Mom~" Li Dong called softly.

But Li Nuansi seemed to have heard something disgusting, making no attempt to hide the disgust on her face:

"Don't call me Mom, I don't have a son like you."

Wang Pandi, who rushed over, didn't see Li Dong and looked at Li Nuansi first.

Rarely showing any dissatisfaction, he complained:

"Nuan Si, why can't we wait until we eat to talk about this? The child is growing so fast..."

Li Nuansi didn't say anything, only gave Wang Pandi a cold look, and walked outside.

A strong sense of crisis compelled Li Dong to instinctively grab Li Nuansi's arm: "Mom~"

Li Nuansi closed her eyes, and the events of the past ten years flashed through her mind one by one.

Ha, she lives a real joke.

Men are unreliable.

She was determined to raise her son, but he turned out to be a good-for-nothing!

Li Nuansi slapped away Li Dong's hand that was gripping hers, straightened her back, and walked resolutely outside.

Li Dong's heart sank.

Watching Li Nuansi's departing figure, he suddenly felt that something very important was leaving him.

But the next second, Wang Pandi's piercing shouts and worried questions left him no time to think about anything else.

He shook his head, forcibly banishing the look of disgust and aversion from his mind.

No, that's his own mother, how could she possibly hate him?

It must be his illusion!

Correct!

It must be a hallucination caused by staying up too late reading novels last night and not getting enough rest!

After learning what had happened, Wang Pandi touched Li Dong's face with heartache and complained:

"Your mom is really something! You study so hard during the week, what's wrong with your brain if you just relax during the holidays?"
