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

Liang Ruotao and Liang Yili exchanged a glance.

“Grandpa, my mother has only been gone for a month, and Liang Yongchang is still enjoying the convenience she brought him. He can’t wait to bring the woman and son he was keeping outside home.”

As soon as Liang Yili spoke, the oxcart jolted violently.

“We have already gotten my mother's compensation money back and severed all ties with him. From now on, we have no connection with the Liang family. But I will not let Liang Yongchang get away with this!”

Hua Yuansheng's chest heaved violently as he suppressed his anger; "Well done!"

Liang Ruotao shifted her body slightly and gently patted Hua Yuansheng's back to help him catch his breath:

"Grandpa, Pear has received her admission notice for the No. 1 High School in the city. She will be starting high school when school starts."

Hua Yuansheng paused, and his arched eyebrows relaxed slightly.

Before he could speak, Liang Yili frowned and said, "It's not just me who received the acceptance letter, it's us! Sister, not only me, but you're going to high school too."

Liang Ruotao smiled gently but didn't respond.

"Grandpa, Pear has a stubborn temper and seems like a little adult, but she's only 15 years old. Could you visit her at school often?"

Fearing Hua Yuansheng might misunderstand, Liang Ruotao quickly explained, "You don't need to pay for tuition or anything, it's just... go see her..."

She knew that what she was doing was despicable.

The mother had already broken the grandfather's heart, and the two sisters had never been filial to him, yet now she wanted him to help take care of her younger sister.

But she was really worried about the pears, and didn't know who she could ask for help...

Upon hearing this, Liang Yili instantly understood Liang Ruotao's plan.

Hua Yuansheng frowned.

Liang Ruotao had already made up her mind. After settling her younger sister in, she would shamelessly ask someone to change her ID card.

He changed his age to 18, then went south to work and earn money to support his younger sister's schooling.

Although they had a thousand dollars in compensation, she heard that high school tuition and living expenses were too expensive for both sisters to attend school.

With their mother gone, as the older sister, she should take on the responsibility of caring for her younger sister.

But as her twin sister, how could Liang Yili not know how much Liang Ruotao loves studying?

He would often pick up a math book and read it when he had nothing to do.

Moreover, if she had a second chance, she would never have considered that either of her sisters would drop out of school.

"No, don't even think about it!"

"pear?"

"Didn't you promise me you would trust me?"

“I trust you, but… we’re only 15 years old. We might not even be able to find factory work. How can we possibly earn money? Without money… how can we go to school?”

Facts speak louder than words.

Liang Yili knew that she couldn't dissuade Liang Ruotao from her idea until she saw real money.

The only solution now is to find a way to make money as soon as possible.

She softened her tone and said, "Sister, don't give up yet. I've inquired, and there are tuition reduction policies for high school. Let's go back and ask around before making any plans."

"Grandpa, I'm sorry to have troubled you."

Hua Yuansheng sighed inwardly: "Isn't it a bit presumptuous to say that? Your mother is your mother, and you are my own granddaughters, only 15 years old. It is only right that I take care of you two."

Should we?

Liang Ruotao and Liang Yili both shook their heads inwardly.

If even their own fathers are unwilling to support them, what in this world is expected of them?

It's already very kind of my grandfather to come and pick them up and give them temporary accommodation.

The trees on both sides of the road cast dappled shadows, and a gentle breeze rustled the leaves.

Accompanied by the light, rhythmic hooves of an old ox slapping the mud, we arrived at Huajia Village.

In this era without cell phones or the internet, most people would eat dinner before it got dark.

Then he nimbly climbed into bed and went to sleep.

Therefore, not many people knew about the arrival of the Liang Yili sisters.

Only Yang Erya, a neighbor who happened to be going out to use the outhouse, heard the commotion.

When he ran out to take a look, he saw that the elderly, widowed man next door, Hua Yuansheng, was actually carrying two little girls. He asked in surprise, "Uncle Sheng, who are they?"

She has been married into the family for seven or eight years, and all she knows is that Hua Yuansheng has two daughters.

The eldest daughter has disappeared without a trace, while the younger daughter occasionally comes back to visit. The family lives a very quiet and lonely life.

Hua Yuansheng settled the ox in the livestock shed in front of the door, fed it some grass, and, responding to Yang Erya's curiosity, simply said:

"My granddaughter."

After saying that, he took out his key, opened the door, and urged the Liang sisters, Yili and Ruotao, to hurry inside.

Liang Ruotao and Liang Yili nodded and smiled at Yang Erya, who looked completely bewildered, and then followed their grandfather inside.

Only Yang Erya, her face filled with shock, stood there, the words "my granddaughter" echoing in her mind again and again.

granddaughter?

No, Uncle Sheng only has two daughters, right?

Where did this granddaughter come from?

She looked up at the moon in the sky. Could it be that she was still asleep?

Actually, this wasn't Liang Yili's first time visiting her maternal grandfather's house.

But it was indeed her first time here in her life.

Huayuansheng's house is a typical southern farmhouse courtyard, with a main room in the middle and two rooms on each side.

The leftmost room was converted into a kitchen.

Between the kitchen and the main room was Hua Yuansheng's own bedroom.

He led the two sisters to the locked door of the far right room and took out the key.

He opened the door, pulled down the wire hanging in mid-air, and turned on the light.

“This is the room your mother lived in before she got married. I’ll bring a straw mat over later, and you can stay here tonight.”

As Liang Yili looked at the simply furnished but clean and tidy room, where there wasn't even a cobweb on the ceiling, Hua Hechun's blurry face suddenly flashed before her eyes.

Seeing that the two sisters were not speaking, Hua Yuansheng assumed they were worried that the room was unclean, and quickly explained:

"I clean this house every few days..."

"Cuckoo..."

Liang Yili's rumbling stomach interrupted Hua Yuansheng's explanation. He slapped his forehead, annoyed, and said:

"Hungry? Shall I make you a bowl of noodles?"

After saying that, he hurriedly went to the kitchen.

Liang Ruotao wanted to help, but her eyes were drawn to the books on the table.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a stack of textbooks.

As I casually flipped open a book, the three characters "Huahechun" immediately caught my eye.

Liang Yili opened a large wooden box on the bench next to her desk and found it full of neatly folded girls' clothes.

Not only that, the rattle drum and rocking horse in the desk drawer, and the half-finished multi-layered insoles, are all quietly telling their own stories in their own way.

Words seemed to lose their power at this moment.

Several questions arose in Liang Ruotao and Liang Yili's minds at the same time.

How could she be so heartless as to abandon her father, who had lost his wife in middle age and struggled to raise her?

How did they manage to ignore it for over a decade?

Did she ever have even the slightest regret?
