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

Wang Pandi knelt on the ground with a blank stare, her hands trembling as she clutched a handful of straw, as if grasping at the last glimmer of hope, but only met with endless disappointment.

There was chaos all around.

The bed sheets and duvet cover were carelessly thrown aside, and the straw that was originally placed under the bed was scattered all over the floor.

The ornaments on the table were overturned, and things were scattered all over the floor.

Tears suddenly streamed down Wang Pandi's face, gradually turning into uncontrollable sobs.

The low sobs were mixed with painful whimpers.

Her shoulders were trembling violently, as if all the strength in her body had been drained away at that moment.

The sound of crying echoed in the quiet main room.

Liang Dajiang returned from outside with his hands behind his back, frowning as he looked at the mess on the ground.

Wang Pandi heard footsteps and saw that it was Liang Dajiang.

She quickly wiped away her tears, scrambled to her feet, and grabbed Liang Dajiang's arm as if it were her last lifeline.

"Great River~"

"What are you doing?"

Wang Pandi choked up, "The money...the money is gone!"

"What?" Liang Dajiang stared at Wang Pandi in disbelief.

Wang Pandi whispered, "The money we hid under the mud bricks and under the bed... it's all gone..."

Liang Dajiang felt a chill run down his spine. He brushed Wang Pandi's hand away and quickly walked to the back of the bed.

When he saw that the mud bricks that had been hiding money were now empty, his vision went black.

He lifted the bed board, but there was nothing there.

Turning to glare at Wang Pandi, he roared, "Where's the money? Did you give it to your family again?"

Wang Pandi trembled and shook her head frantically: "I didn't... I really didn't... You know, I haven't been back recently."

Liang Dajiang thought about it and agreed: "Where did the money go? Did it grow legs and run away?"

There are only three people in our family. Dongdong never comes into our room and doesn't even know where we keep our money..."

Wang Pandi covered her head with her hands.

Then his eyes widened suddenly: "No, there are more than 3 people! Li Nuansi, yes, Li Nuansi has stayed at home before."

"She doesn't know where we keep the money."

A scene flashed through Wang Pandi's mind. She swallowed and cautiously looked at Liang Dajiang.

Liang Dajiang stared at Wang Pandi in shock, gritting his teeth as he said:

"Don't tell her you told her."

Are you brainless?

How could I just tell someone something so important?

“I didn’t! It was when I was taking the money earlier that she suddenly came in, and I suspect she saw it.”

As she spoke, Wang Pandi's body went limp, and she collapsed to the ground: "It's over, it's all over..."

Because of Liang Yongchang's repeated requests, Liang Dajiang was unaware that Li Nuansi had absconded with Liang Yongchang's money.

His brows furrowed deeply: "Are you sure it's Li Nuansi?"

"It's all over..."

Wang Pandi was no longer listening to anything else and kept repeating herself.

Liang Dajiang's right eyelid twitched violently; he had a bad feeling.

He narrowed his eyes and asked in a harsh voice, "What exactly happened?"

Wang Pandi stared blankly at Liang Dajiang and stammered, "She ran away with all the money."

Not only ours, but Yongchang's wages from all these years are gone too!

Liang Dajiang leaned back and grabbed the wall for support.

"Call the police!"

A woman's voice said decisively.

Xiao Mei, who had just returned from out of town with her two children, looked at the messy old house and a faint chill flashed in her eyes.

"Second son's wife? Why are you back all of a sudden?"

Xiao Mei, who had long considered the elderly couple's money as her own, sneered:

"How would I have known such a big thing happened at home if I hadn't come back? Call the police!"

Wang Pandi's eyes suddenly cleared, and her muddled mind seemed to find a guiding light:

"Yes! Call the police!"

"No! We can't call the police! We absolutely can't call the police!" Liang Dajiang refused.

Xiao Mei frowned slightly: "What are we supposed to do if we lose money and don't call the police? Are we just going to let it go like that?"

Liang Dajiang shook his head in disapproval: "Dongdong is about to start high school. He's going to go to university. How can he have a mother who's a thief?"

Upon hearing the mention of her eldest grandson, Wang Pandi immediately nodded: "Yes! We can't call the police!"

A half-smile crept into Xiao Mei's eyes: "Dongdong? The son your brother has been keeping outside for so many years?"

She knew it!

From the moment she learned that Liang Yongchang had a 16-year-old son, she knew that the two old geezers would probably have to give away a lot of their meager savings.

That's why she suddenly rushed back ahead of schedule.

Previously, Liang Yongchang had two daughters.

These two old geezers are sexist and never give the two girls from the first wife a second glance.

Their second wife's family has Liang Jingchen, the only son of the Liang family.

Without a doubt, the little savings those two old fogies have must belong to Xiao Mei.

Xiao Mei had long considered them hers for the taking.

Now that Li Dong has suddenly appeared, how can Xiao Mei, who has been calculating how much money the old couple has in their pockets, feel at ease?

So, I bought a train ticket and rushed back.

Looking at the old house in complete disarray.

And those two old geezers who refused to call the police and only cared about Li Dong—Xiao Mei's eyes instantly turned cold.

Liang Dajiang's brows furrowed into a tight knot: "How dare you speak like that? What do you mean by..."

Xiao Mei snorted coldly.

Completely unlike her previous docile and capable self at home, she didn't even listen to Liang Dajiang finish speaking before turning around and leaving.

A hint of displeasure flashed in Liang Dajiang's eyes.

Wang Pandi said, "Dajiang, all our money is gone. How are we going to live?"

The several thousand yuan he had painstakingly saved up over his entire life vanished in an instant, leaving Liang Dajiang feeling as if he were choking on his own blood.

The most frustrating thing is that you can't tell anyone that you've lost the money.

Otherwise, how will Li Dong be able to hold his head high in the village in the future?

What did he work so hard for his whole life? Wasn't it for the next generation?

"Grandpa, Grandma, why are you sitting on the floor?"

Li Dong, who had returned from the county town dejectedly, jogged into the house, helped Wang Pandi up from her slumped position on the ground, and asked her with concern.

The eldest grandson's concern was like a good medicine, instantly healing Wang Pandi's grief.

Wang Pandi gently touched Li Dong's flushed face: "Have you eaten?"

"without!"

"Wait here, Grandma will make it for you!"

Li Dong lowered his head and said, "Grandma, my mom... we can't find her."

Pain crept onto Li Dong's face.

Throughout the day, he searched every place Li Nuansi might go.

However, they still couldn't find Li Nuansi.

He couldn't figure it out or understand it.

Isn't he her biological son?

Just because she was reading a novel, she didn't want him anymore?

Wang Pandi felt a pang of pain in her heart: "Your mother...she stole all the money that your grandfather and I had saved!"

"What?" Li Dong exclaimed in shock.

But then, a thought flashed through his mind.

All of my father's money was taken away.

Grandpa and Grandma's money is all gone too.

With less than a month left before the start of the new semester, how will he pay his tuition?
