A top student transmigrates into a book: Reborn in the 90s and rises to prominence.

Jiang Zheyuan looked a little aggrieved, like a heartbroken and lonely young wife who had failed to please her mother-in-law.

Shao Wanwan didn't know how to comfort her.

Because Zhang Suran's discomfort was written all over her face.

"Don't think so much. Mom wants to save face, but she's reluctant to spend money. There's no such thing as a free lunch. Just do your own thing and pretend you didn't see anything else," Shao Wanwan gently patted his hand to comfort him.

"By the way, if you're going to give a bride price, you must wait until after Shao Pei gets married. I'm afraid my mom will just give it to Shao Pei and won't be willing to use it herself," Shao Wanwan said after thinking for a moment.

She knew that given Jiang Zheyuan's personality, it was impossible for him not to give a bride price.

After all, she is an adopted daughter. If she gets married, she will go back to visit less often and have less contact with Zhang Suran.

The bride price was considered compensation for Zhang Suran and Shao Guanghua.

In the book, Jiang Zheyuan gave a bride price as high as 50,000 yuan.

This sum of money left Shao Guanghua and Zhang Suran speechless; they simply couldn't believe it.

The book describes Zhang Suran as overjoyed upon receiving the money, treating Jiang Zheyuan as an honored guest.

That evening, Shao Guanghua and Zhang Suran discussed how to handle the money. Shao Guanghua suggested using 20,000 yuan to purchase dowry items, 10,000 yuan to hold a grand homecoming ceremony, and the rest to give to the original owner so that she would have some money to rely on and be able to live a good life with Jiang Zheyuan.

However, after some consideration, Zhang Suran decided not to give the remaining 20,000 yuan to the original owner. After completing the homecoming ceremony, she only gave a portion of the received gifts to the original owner and did not mention the 20,000 yuan.

Later, when Shao Pei wanted to start a small business, Zhang Suran gave him 20,000 yuan. However, in less than three months, he squandered it all. After he ran out of money, he came back to Zhang Suran for more. Zhang Suran was just a housewife and didn't own a printing factory, so she couldn't come up with the money. Shao Pei had a huge argument with her.

Shao Pei didn't dare ask Shao Guanghua for money, so he only dared to manipulate Zhang Suran. But Zhang Suran didn't care what kind of person Shao Pei was; she just doted on her son. She pretended to be sick and asked Shao Guanghua for money at the construction site, and then gave it to Shao Pei.

If she couldn't get it from Shao Guanghua, she would ask Shao Moli. Anyway, since Shao Pei was causing trouble, she was willing to obediently clean up his messes.

Thinking of this, Shao Wanwan didn't want Jiang Zheyuan to pay a single penny of the bride price.

However, Shao Guanghua and Zhang Suran had indeed been kind to her in raising her, and one should not be ungrateful. So she had to ask Jiang Zheyuan to give the betrothal gifts to Zhang Suran later, lest she impulsively give them all to Shao Pei.

Shao Moli listened to them talking about the bride price from the back row, but kept her head turned to the window, pretending not to hear, and was thinking about her own things.

Actually, I felt both sad and heartbroken.

The only thing Shao Moli was thankful for was that she hadn't shown any sign of liking Jiang Zheyuan in front of him, and hadn't given him any reason to talk about it. Otherwise, she probably would have wanted to crawl into a hole right now.

From childhood to adulthood, her grandmother only told her to think positively about everything, and never talked to her about what to do when she couldn't get what she wanted.

When she saw her grandmother, she felt wronged and couldn't help but cry when she hugged her grandmother.

When Shao Moli started crying, her grandmother panicked.

"My dear, tell Grandma what kind of trouble you suffered outside," Grandma asked with concern.

Actually, Grandma can't hear Shao Moli's complaints clearly anymore, but just by holding her, she can feel Shao Moli's grievances.

Shao Moli cried for a while before letting go of her grandmother. "I'm not upset. I just miss my grandmother."

After saying that, Shao Moli felt embarrassed and buried herself in her grandmother's arms again.

Looking at Shao Moli, Shao Wanwan felt genuinely envious.

Although Zhang Suran treated her very badly, she still had her grandmother and family.

Unlike me, I'm definitely an orphan.

As if sensing Shao Wanwan's loneliness, Jiang Zheyuan pulled her into his arms and patted her gently. "From now on, you have me. I am your family. You can love me and you can rely on me."

Shao Wanwan felt a little better and smiled at Jiang Zheyuan.

“We can have a child as soon as possible. In the future, I and the child will be your family. You can give birth to a family for yourself.” Jiang Zheyuan whispered in her ear.

Well, she wouldn't be worried if we didn't talk about this!

No wonder, he didn't know that he and Shao Moli didn't have any children by the end of the book.

Although the doctor said there was no problem when Jiang Zheyuan was examined, Shao Wanwan was still a little worried.

However, seeing how confident Jiang Zheyuan was, she decided not to expose him.

After calming Shao Moli down, Grandma immediately invited her and Jiang Zheyuan into the main room to sit down.

The hustle and bustle of the birthday banquet had long since passed, and the main hall had returned to its quiet state.

Shao Wanwan looked around and felt that the temperature in the main room was very low, the surroundings were dark, and the stove in the middle was not very warm.

Shao Moli had already installed underfloor heating throughout her grandmother's house, but as a poor student, she never had the money to do it.

Grandma's hearing aids have used up all her savings.

During the meal, Grandma's hands were so cold that they became stiff. She tried to pick up food several times but couldn't. She was trembling and afraid that they would notice, so she didn't eat much.

When asked, she said she wasn't hungry.

"Grandma, after we finish eating, we'll tidy up a bit and head to the city. You should eat something, or you'll get carsick," Shao Moli advised.

Shao Wanwan paused her chopsticks as she picked up some cured meat, thought for a moment, and then said, "Grandma will stay in the city for a few more days this time. We'll install underfloor heating in her house. It'll be cold until March! The elderly can't stand it."

This suggestion stunned Shao Moli. After a long while, she said, "The underfloor heating will take at least half a month to be installed. Grandma... won't be happy to stay in a hotel."

“It’s okay, stay at my place. I didn’t rent out the house my dad left me, just for convenience. It’s not far from our school, only about ten bus stops away. You don’t have to worry about Grandma not being used to living alone. We’ll be on winter break in a few days, and then we’ll move in with Grandma. The heating will be installed before the Lunar New Year.” Shao Wanwan had already come up with a solution in a very short time.

Shao Moli still declined, saying, "This is too much trouble for you, and I really can't afford the underfloor heating. I don't have any money right now."

“I have some! I’ll cover it first. You can give it to me whenever you have it. It’s okay if you don’t. I call you sister, and she’s my grandma too.” Shao Wanwan really couldn’t bear to see the elderly suffer.

In such a cold room, in winter you can only huddle around the stove, your face is hot but your back is still cold.

It's so uncomfortable.

“Isn’t that Uncle Hu’s son from the east end doing this kind of work? He’s a good guy, efficient, and related to the Shao family, so let him come! It just takes time to take measurements and tidy up the valuables in the house, so we can only go back to the city tomorrow morning,” Shao Wanwan continued.
