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

Just as Hua Lichu was thinking about ordering more wholesale items next week, the two sisters were invited to the grade director's office.

The head of the grade got straight to the point: "Did you know that Liang Jingdong from Class One just paid his tuition?"

Hua Lichu remained expressionless.

Hua Antao looked completely bewildered.

"Ahem, you two... be careful. That's all, go back to class. I have high hopes for you two, don't let me down!"

It was as sudden as when I was invited over.

Leaving the office, Hua Antao still looked bewildered and asked, "So, why did the grade head call us here?"

Hua Lichu's deep pupils shimmered with a faint light: "The head of the grade... is quite nice."

As soon as he finished speaking, Liang Jingdong appeared at the corner of the stairs.

When their eyes met, Liang Jingdong awkwardly turned his head away.

Only after the two sisters had completely disappeared did Liang Jingdong turn around, clenching his fists as he looked in the direction they had gone.

This was the first time he had fallen behind on his tuition fees.

Although it was only delayed by two weeks, those two weeks felt like centuries to him.

Whenever he saw two people whispering to each other, he felt that the other person was laughing at him.

"Look, that guy hasn't even paid his tuition! And he's supposed to be in the 'Sunshine Class'!"

But all the money in the house was taken away by her biological mother, Li Nuansi.

After his salary was reduced, Liang Yongchang's wages were simply not enough to cover his tuition fees in the short term.

At the crucial moment, Liang Dajiang swallowed his pride and went to Wang Zhaodi's parents' house to make a scene.

They took back all the money that Wang Zhaodi had secretly given to her family years ago.

As soon as he received the money, Liang Jingdong immediately paid the tuition.

Aside from the high tuition fees, the weekly food expenses and other fees are equally troublesome.

The money they got back from Wang Zhaodi's family wouldn't last long at all.

The news that Hua Lichu and her sister were selling tea eggs at a stall outside the school had spread throughout the entire first-year high school class.

Liang Jingdong felt ashamed of them and disdained associating with them.

But deep down, he was wondering if he should encourage his family members to also set up a stall.

So, when he went back home for the first week of school, he told Liang Dajiang and his wife about his idea.

However, the two people who had always supported him and cherished him as their own children did not agree with him at first, but instead tried to shirk responsibility.

"Set up a stall? No way! We've farmed all our lives, and it's only thanks to you, Dongdong, that we have the chance to go to the city. We don't have the ability to set up a stall in the city!"

Wang Zhaodi shook her head like a rattle drum.

Liang Dajiang took a drag of the welding smoke, tapped the pipe on the ground a few times, and spoke in a deep voice:

“Your dad works in a factory in the county town. If we set up a stall, he'll lose face!”

Liang Jingdong lowered his head and pursed his lips.

He kept talking about his grandson, saying he was the first college student in the Liang family.

But the family only has so little money. Let alone supporting him through college, it's hard to say whether he can even finish high school.

They're unwilling to even set up a stall now!

Despite her displeasure, she smiled and said, "We won't go to the city, just to that three-way intersection in the county town. If the Hua Lichu sisters can make money setting up a stall there, how could we possibly be worse off than them?"

Liang Jingdong had a knack for understanding the elderly couple's thoughts.

As expected, as soon as these words were spoken, Wang Zhaodi, who had just been extremely unwilling, immediately changed her mind.

"Sure! It's just setting up a stall, right? Those two brats and ingrates can do it, so why can't our Dongdong, a college student?"

"Grandma, I have to go to school. I can only help by giving advice. The main thing is that we still need you and Grandpa!"

"Okay, okay! Grandma knows. So, let's set up a stall. What should we sell?"

Liang Jingdong's eyes flickered several times: "How about we set up a stall and play a ring toss game?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Mei, who had just returned from outside, hesitated and asked, "Isn't this inappropriate?"

Wang Zhaodi glanced cautiously at Liang Dajiang's face, which was as black as the bottom of a pot, and slapped her thigh:

"What's wrong with it? Did they carve the names of those two plague-stricken people on those rings? Are they the only ones allowed to set them up?"

Liang Dajiang was intrigued: "Second brother's wife, do you have any good cooking skills?"

Xiao Mei took two steps back: "I'm just a woman who only knows how to farm. I don't know anything else besides farming."

"That's settled then! Let's go try our hand at ring toss!"

The family appeared united and talked about setting up a stall, but when it came to actually doing it, each member had their own ulterior motives.

"You pay for the toys, second brother's family!"

"Why should I pay?"

Wang Zhaodi spat on the ground: "Just because this idea was come from my eldest grandson."

"Dongdong, do you know where to buy toys and ring toss games?"

Liang Jingdong frowned in annoyance: "Grandpa, isn't it available at the wholesale market?..."

They finally managed to gather all the items and were about to set up their stall when the commotion started again.

"Second brother's wife, you stand outside and keep watch. Make sure those thieves don't steal anything."

Xiao Mei rolled her eyes: "Mom, you're getting old and not as agile as you used to be. Watching things is an easy job, why don't you do it? I'll just collect the money."

"Pah! You shameless bastard..."

When the Liang family arrived at the crossroads amidst their commotion, Hua Anshan had already set up his stall.

Wang Zhaodi, who had just been so arrogant, slowed down and softened her voice when she saw so many people surrounding her.

He nudged Liang Dajiang on the back: "Old man, what do we do?"

Liang Dajiang's heart pounded: "How would I know?"

Xiao Mei was, after all, a young woman who had been to big cities, though she was still a little timid.

But after cursing the old codger in his heart for only being a bully to his own kind, he was the first to step forward.

There was nothing she could do; after all, her share of the money for the toys came from there.

Set up a stall.

She mustered her courage and, imitating the way street vendors sell their wares, called out, "Take a look, have a look..."

With her enthusiastic promotion, customers who were waiting in front of Hua'anshan's stall came over.

"You guys play ring toss too?"

"Correct!"

"How to calculate?"

"11 rings for one yuan!"

Over at Hua'an Mountain, it's 10 rings for one yuan, but she has 11. Anyone with a brain knows to come here!

The customer walked around the venue and saw that the items inside were no different from those next door, so he was tempted.

He pulled a dollar coin from his pocket: "Give me a dollar coin!"

People who had been gathering to watch the spectacle started crowding over there.

Thanks to its low price, several customers paid in no time.

Xiao Mei laughed so hard her teeth disappeared from her eyes.

Upon seeing them, a regular customer couldn't help but approach Mr. and Mrs. Hua Anshan and ask:

"Shanzi, over there it's 11 for a dollar, what about you? If you also have 11 laps, I won't go, I'll play here instead!"

"Yes, yes! If you can lower the price, we won't leave."

Hua Anshan had just noticed the situation next door and was furious.

Just as the customers were teasing him, he was about to speak.

But Yan Moli pinched his arm, and he swallowed back the words that were almost on the tip of his tongue.
