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

In summer, it gets dark late, and the last trace of orange-red afterglow in the sky is slowly swallowed by the night.

A gentle breeze carries the unique fragrance of the fields.

Running along the country lanes, you can faintly hear the sounds of frogs and crickets, creating a symphony of summer nights in the fields.

Occasionally, the barking of dogs could be heard from afar, guarding this peaceful village.

Liang Yili clutched the letter of severance of kinship and the household registration book in her hands, and her tense heart felt an unprecedented sense of comfort and tranquility.

"Liang Ruotao, Liang Yili, wait a minute!"

Suddenly, a figure blocked their way. Liang Yili looked closely and realized it was a young girl she didn't recognize.

Turning to look at Liang Ruotao, he found that she had also shaken her head.

Liang Mi stood in front of the two, biting her lower lip tightly. After hesitating for a moment, she gave a bitter smile and said:

“I am Liang Mi, I am 15 years old this year, and I just finished the high school entrance examination. I was admitted to the No. 2 High School in the county, but my parents have already arranged a marriage for me.”

Liang Yili frowned, seemingly knowing why the other party had stopped her.

"I know you two don't know me, but I know you."

To be precise, every girl in Liangjia Village knows the Liang Yili sisters.

They always wore beautiful braids and fashionable dresses without patches, exuding confidence and radiance.

"High school tuition is so expensive. You've fallen out with your family. Will you still continue your studies?"

Liang Yili nodded without hesitation: "Of course!"

"But you're only 15 years old, and you don't even have a place to live. Without your parents' help, you'll have a hard time paying your tuition, won't you?"

The faint light shone on Liang Mi's face, allowing Liang Yili to see her expression clearly.

Seeing her serious expression, without a trace of mockery, as if she genuinely just wanted to know how she would pay her tuition, Liang Yili slowly said:

“We have hands and feet. What adults can do, we can do too. As long as we are not afraid of hardship or fatigue, we can always earn money.”

"But is it really worth it to suffer so much just to go to school?"

Liang Ruotao raised an eyebrow: "Why not endure hardship? Just listen to your parents' arrangements, marry some complete stranger, have children, and spend your whole life doing that?"

Liang Mi's face flushed red, and she stammered, "I..."

Before she could finish speaking, Liang Mi disappeared in a flash, just like she had come.

Liang Ruotao and Liang Yili exchanged glances, clearly speechless at Liang Mi's abrupt and nonsensical outburst.

As darkness fell, countless stars began to appear against the deep blue sky, twinkling faintly.

The moon rose quietly, casting a soft silver light that stretched the sisters' receding shadows long and thin.

Liang Mi hid behind a large tree, watching Liang Yili's departing figure, and murmured softly:

"Getting married... isn't so bad, is it?"

Her parents said that as long as the girl has been to school for a few days, can read, and won't mistake the toilet when she goes out, that's fine.

The husband's family is looking for a daughter-in-law, not selecting a top scholar; all that studying is useless.

The man she was looking for this time was a well-known wealthy man from the next village.

That family had a remarkable older sister who not only helped them rebuild their mud house into a brick house, but also accepted their exorbitant dowry of 1688 without hesitation.

Her parents said that the bride price wouldn't be given to her husband's family yet; they would save it for her first.

Give it to her after she has given birth and encounters difficulties.

But the thought of marrying someone she had never even met filled Liang Mi with overwhelming unease.

But she knew that when her parents said they were discussing it with her, they were really just informing her.

She couldn't refuse, nor did she have the courage to refuse.

But then I thought, is going to school always a good thing?

Liang Mi pursed her lips and kicked away a stone at her feet.

Maybe not!

Back then, which girl in the village didn't envy the Liang Yili sisters?

But a sudden change in circumstances has left them without a home.

So, we'll see how things unfold!

Over here, Liang Yili and her sister had almost reached the big banyan tree, but before they even got close, Liang Ruotao exclaimed:

"Grandpa?!"

Upon hearing the sound, Hua Yuansheng abruptly opened his eyes, a flash of surprise crossing his gaze.

"coming?"

Looking at her grandfather, whose gray hair was sparsely distributed on his head and whose face was covered with deep and shallow wrinkles, Liang Yili called out, "Grandpa!"

Hua Yuansheng narrowed his deep, calm eyes, which were filled with vicissitudes and wisdom.

With a flick of its whip, the old ox, which had been nestled under the banyan tree for most of the day and had almost eaten all the grass around it, straightened up with a "baa".

"Hurry up and get on here!"

"Hey! Okay!"

The oxcart has a simple and unpretentious structure, with the carriage made of rough wooden planks, showing the marks of time.

You can hear the slight friction of the oxcart's wooden wheels on the gravel road, echoing rhythmically with the ox's hooves.

Sitting behind Hua Yuansheng, watching him gently tap the cow's back with a wooden fork as he slowly moved forward, Liang Yili felt a sense of security she had never experienced before.

In truth, Hua Hechun's marriage into the Liang family was a significant step down in terms of social standing.

Liangjia Village is in a remote location, far from any town or county.

But my maternal grandfather's house was different. Although it was also in the countryside, it was only a few kilometers away from the county town, which was very convenient.

Not to mention that Hua Yuansheng himself is very capable.

As a peasant, he sent his eldest daughter, Huahechun, to the city to work as a factory worker with a secure job.

Unfortunately, not long after Hua Hechun went to the factory, he was targeted by Liang Yongchang, who was eager to climb the social ladder but had no money.

Hua Yuansheng saw through Liang Yongchang's wolfish ambitions at a glance and naturally could not agree.

Enraged, he kidnapped Hua and Chunguan and took them home.

But Hua and Chun were determined to marry him.

In order to marry Liang Yongchang and pursue so-called love, Hua Hechun directly severed her father-daughter relationship with Hua Yuansheng.

In her early years, in order to prove that her initial choice was absolutely correct, Hua and Chun never mentioned their maternal family to the two sisters.

Later, Liang Yongchang revealed his true colors, and Hua Hechun was so ashamed that he had no face to go home.

And so, the delay dragged on until they were separated forever.

Actually, in their past lives, their maternal grandfather had come looking for them.

But at that time, Liang Ruotao and Liang Yili were blinded by Liang Yongchang's tiny bit of "fatherly love" and resolutely rejected their grandfather.

Recalling the scene from her past life where her older sister disappeared, her grandfather, whose hair was already snow-white, tremblingly took money from his hospital bed and told her that she had to find her sister no matter what, Liang Yili's eyes welled up with tears.

If she hadn't seen it when she was a ghost, she wouldn't have known that since her mother passed away, her grandfather would drive his oxcart to where the two sisters lived every few days, whenever he had time.

We waited for most of the day.

So, in his past life, Grandpa was actually waiting for the sisters, right?

Then... the grandfather who never saw the two sisters turn around must have been very disappointed, right?

Feeling the weight on the oxcart, which was different from when they arrived, a smile flashed in Hua Yuansheng's eyes.

Knowing that escaping from the wolf's den isn't too stupid!

At least, they're much better than their mothers who insisted on jumping into the fire!

"What are your plans next?"
