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

Clutching a crayfish, Liang Yili rushed home and straight up to Liang Ruotao, excitedly saying:

"Sis, how about we go sell spicy crayfish?"

Liang Ruotao, who was sweeping the floor, paused in her work: "What?"

Liang Yili raised the crayfish in her hand, its two large pincers bared and ready to scare people:

"I just looked around, and these things are everywhere in the fields and ditches of the village, but nobody eats them!"

"But even a mosquito is still meat! What do you think, if I could make it taste really good, wouldn't that count as a dish? How about we sell it?"

Before Liang Ruotao could reply, a male voice rang out from the side: "Uncle, are you just going to let her do this?"

“Where can’t you find Chi Hong? She’s just a 15-year-old girl, not a chef…”

"Pear, you really know how to make crimson food taste good?"

Ignoring the young man who had come following the sound, Liang Ruotao stared intently at the crayfish in Liang Yili's hand and asked.

Hua Yuansheng frowned, opening and closing his mouth repeatedly.

"Sis, I can do it! But if you want the lobster to taste good, you'll have to go to the county to buy some seasonings, and the seasonings... are a bit pricey."

15-year-old Liang Yili couldn't, but the reborn Liang Yili could.

In her past life, she worked as a kitchen helper at a barbecue restaurant for a while in order to find her sister.

As luck would have it, that chef's specialty was spicy crayfish.

Many people try to imitate it, but it always falls short of the original.

However, Liang Yili knew the correct ratio of spices.

Looking at Liang Yili's determined expression, Liang Ruotao didn't hesitate much and decisively said, "Then let's give it a try!"

The two sisters have already discussed it and decided that their mother's 1000 yuan compensation should not be touched unless absolutely necessary.

Therefore, the only money they had at hand was the 30-odd yuan they could find at home to spend on living expenses, which they would rush to the county town early in the morning.

Liang Ruotao took out 10 yuan from her pocket and handed it over: "Ten yuan, is that enough?"

The young man, who already found the man unreliable, frowned and said:

"You haven't made a single penny, and you're already throwing money into it? What if it doesn't sell? Uncle, the two kids are still young and don't understand..."

“Pear, peach, this is your great-grandfather’s eldest son, call him Uncle.”

"Uncle~"

"Uncle~"

"Hey, Uncle came in a hurry and didn't bring anything. Take this and buy some candy to sweeten your mouth."

Hua Anshan smiled and took out two red envelopes that he had prepared earlier from his pocket, handing them to the Liang Yili sisters.

Liang Yili glanced at Hua Yuansheng, and only after seeing him nod did she accept the red envelope.

Seeing that Hua Anshan still wanted to persuade them, and knowing that he meant well, she said seriously, "Uncle, how much worse can things get than they are now?"

Upon hearing this, Hua Yuansheng, who was pondering how to persuade his granddaughter, froze.

“The Liang family dislikes us because we are girls and has severed ties with us.”

If it weren't for my grandfather taking us in, we might really be homeless. But what about girls? Don't girls deserve to go to school?

"Now that we've been accepted into the city's No. 1 High School, we're definitely going to attend. But before that, we need to find a way to earn some money, right?"

Hua Yuansheng hesitated: "But... what if we can't sell them..."

Fearing that 10 yuan wouldn't be enough, Liang Ruotao slipped another 5 yuan into Liang Yili's hand, then turned and smiled at Huayuan Shenghua Anshan:

“Grandpa, Uncle, how will we know if it will work if we don’t try? As long as there is even the slightest chance of success, we are willing to give it a try.”

"So what if we can't sell them? We can just take them home and eat them ourselves!"

If all else fails, she'll go south to work in a factory; she just won't let her younger sister drop out of school.

Her sister's unwavering trust warmed Liang Yili's heart to the core.

Just a few days after her rebirth, she resolutely led her sister away from the Liang family.

Beneath that resolute exterior lies a lifetime of worry.

Liang Yili blinked hard, suppressing the tears welling up in her eyes: "Grandpa, I'll go to the county town later to check out the market. We'll test the waters on the first day and not do too much."

Liang Ruotao blinked: "Later? How do we get there? How many miles is it? Do we run?"

"I'll take you there in an oxcart..."

"Let's go ride my bicycle!"

Hua Yuansheng and Hua Anshan, who had always disagreed, spoke up in unison.

Seeing that the two sisters had made up their minds, Hua Yuansheng asked Liang Yili again, "Are you really sure?"

Liang Yili nodded firmly: "Yes. I want to earn money, I want to go to school with my sister, and I also want Grandpa to live a good life."

God helps those who help themselves! I believe I can do it.

Liang Yili's firm words struck Hua Yuansheng's heart like a thunderclap, completely dispelling his desire to persuade her again.

"Anshan, is that your bicycle? Can I lend it to Lizi for a few days?"

Liang Yili wanted to say that she could pay the rent, since if this really happened, she might need to use the bicycle every day.

But feeling that nothing was decided yet, he remained silent.

"That crimson thing is very fierce. Don't try to catch it with your bare hands. If there's a leak in the house, use that to fish it out!"

Seeing that Hua Yuansheng, who had just clearly disagreed, suddenly offered suggestions, Liang Yili felt a warm current slowly flowing through her heart.

Liang Ruotao felt a lump in her throat and quickly lowered her head.

It turns out that her younger sister's earlier statement that neither of them would drop out of school and they would go to high school together wasn't just to comfort her...

She really is trying hard to find ways to make money...

Looking at her sister's resolute face, a budding hope quietly sprouted from the deepest corner of Liang Ruotao's heart.
