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

Just as Hua Lichu picked up her rice bowl to eat, Li Lian arrived.

"It's alright, you don't need to worry about me. I just came to say a few words and I'll leave after that."

When Hua Antao offered her a small stool, Li Lian quickly refused, and gave Hua Antao a wink.

Hua Antao immediately understood and went over to close the door.

Li Lian walked quickly to the dining table, squatted down, and said in a low voice:

"The street leading from No. 1 Middle School to the government square has already started attracting businesses."

"If you're interested, come find me with the money right after the National Day holiday, and I'll take you to the sales office."

After saying that, Li Lian got up, put her hands behind her back, and strolled back home.

At the dinner table, Hua Lichu and Hua Antao said in unison with absolute certainty, "The shops must be bought!"

Hua Yuansheng was surprised: "Why? Isn't it good for us to set up a stall in the small square now? There are many people, less competition, and we don't have to pay rent."

“But once those shops open, our stall will be too far back in the street. The students won’t even make it here; they’ll probably be full by then,” Hua Antao said.

Hua Lichu then said, "Once the shops open, do you think the government will still allow us to set up stalls in the square?"

Caught off guard, Hua Yuansheng panicked upon hearing this: "You mean, someone will chase us away and not let us set up our stalls in the square?"

"We will definitely drive them away, and we can also wage guerrilla warfare against them."

If someone comes, we can just push the cart and run.

If you don't want the things anymore, you can just leave them. But if you get caught, you'll definitely be fined a lot.

"In serious cases, what we earn in a month might not even cover a single fine they impose," Hua Lichu said slowly.

Upon hearing about the fine, Hua Yuansheng immediately relented: "I'll buy it! But do we have enough money?"

Hua Lichu smiled and said, "The weather is about to get cold, so now is the perfect time to buy a shop, renovate it, and move in."

Hua Antao took out her account book: "After paying the tuition last time, we had 3900 left after deducting living expenses."

In the past month, I've been setting up a stall in the county town. After deducting my uncle and aunt's wages, I've earned 700 yuan. They brought the money over a couple of days ago.

The money we earn selling tea eggs and bringing breakfast every morning is just enough for the three of us to cover our daily expenses.

In the two weeks that Pear and I sold snacks, we earned 100 yuan in the first week and 200 yuan in the second week, for a total of 300 yuan.

He set up a ring toss stall in the government square for a total of 20 days and earned a total of 625 yuan.

The chicken cutlets and chicken frames earned a total of 520 yuan, but after deducting the initial investment such as the pushcart, the net profit was 350 yuan.

We currently have a total of 5875 yuan.

Hua Lichu frowned slightly: "5875... Buying a shop might be a bit difficult."

Hua Yuansheng's focus, however, was not on this: "We earn about 2000 yuan a month?"

Why are you still hesitating?

purchase!"

It's just a shop, right? I can earn it back in six months!

As for the problem of not having enough money

“I still have 700 yuan left, I’ll use that to cover the costs. If that’s not enough, I’ll figure something out.”

When his granddaughter arrived, all his savings amounted to about six hundred.

But for the past two months, his granddaughter has been giving him 20 yuan of pocket money each month.

That old geezer, he eats and dresses at home all the time. Besides buying his granddaughter some snacks and hairbands, he doesn't need so much.

Sure enough, after three months, my savings not only didn't decrease, but actually increased by several tens of yuan.

Hua Lichu didn't say whether she wanted it or not, she just nodded slightly and shoveled a mouthful of rice into her mouth:

"Let's eat first. We have one last exam this afternoon. After that, we'll go look at the shops, calculate how much we still need, and then discuss it further."

The midday sun filters through the leaves, casting dappled patterns on the campus paths.

Students entered the campus one after another, heading to their final exam.

The exam rooms were determined based on the previous grade rankings, with 30 students per room and the first-place student sitting in the first seat of their class.

The Huali sisters, one 160cm and the other 173cm, were both ranked in the 150-180 range of the exam room.

Since it wasn't exam time yet, the students were all standing in the corridor.

Some students clutched their review materials tightly, as if they were the key to success, hoping that good luck would come their way and that the last ten minutes or so they would spend reviewing the exam content.

Some had furrowed brows, looked tense and uneasy, and their eyes revealed their fear of the exam.

Others looked relaxed, whispering jokes to each other.

Hua Lichu remained calm.

It's not that she was particularly confident about passing the exam, but rather that she had done everything she could, and the rest was up to her to perform to her normal level.

Hua Antao, on the other hand, looked a little flustered, and swallowed several times in just 3 minutes.

I just went to the toilet, but I feel the urge to urinate again.

Hua Lichu was a little helpless but understanding: "Sister, relax. Haven't you already reviewed everything you need to review several times? We've reviewed all the important and difficult points. You'll definitely be fine this time."

Hua Antao grabbed Hua Lichu's hand as if she were clutching a lifeline: "Really?"

"Yes, you listened so attentively in class for the second half of the month, and you also memorized all the words and texts that you were supposed to memorize after class."

You did very well on all the quizzes! Even your English teacher praised your rapid progress.

To learn English well, Hua Antao put in an effort that most people wouldn't.

Besides standing during class, she memorized all the vocabulary words at the back of the textbook.

He even turned grammar knowledge into a song and would recite it to himself whenever he had free time.

She memorized the texts the teacher required, and she also memorized all the English dialogues the teacher didn't require.

If I still can't do well on the exam, where is justice?

Hua Antao breathed a sigh of relief and nodded her head emphatically: "Yes, I've done everything I could. I can definitely do it."

I heard that for this exam, the school will rank students based on their chosen arts or science subjects.

Before the exam, the head of the grade distributed a questionnaire.

Students were asked to fill in their target rankings and submit them, which were then printed directly onto a sheet of paper and posted outside each classroom.

Hua Antao filled in the top 30 in her grade.

She didn't know what Hua Lichu was thinking.

But Hua Antao felt that this was a good opportunity for her to try and get into the Sunshine Class.

Ignoring subjects like politics, history, and geography that drag her down, and only considering physics, chemistry, biology, Chinese, math, and English, she's determined to get into the Sunshine Class!

The prerequisite is that you perform well in Chinese and English.

The Chinese exam has already been taken.

God knows how excited she was when she saw the essay topic.

I even held my breath for a few seconds, and almost burst out laughing.

The essay topic was surprisingly similar to the one Hua Lichu had given her a few days earlier.

The only difference is that one is a set topic, and the other is a semi-set topic.

After she finished writing the essay, her younger sister praised her for writing it exceptionally well.

Therefore, she was deeply impressed by the content of the essay.

In addition, Hua Lichu, who was good at writing, pointed out some flaws to her. She revised it according to her sister's instructions, and it was indeed more outstanding.

If she still can't get into the top 30 in her grade, she'll probably want to kill herself!

Time flew by as Hua Antao drifted off into her daydreams, and it was time for the exam.

Students in the corridor entered the examination room one after another.

Before entering the examination room, Hua Lichu turned to look at Hua Antao behind her:

"Sis, you can do it! You can definitely do it!"

"Keep it up!"
