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

Chapter 175 Inexhaustible Strength

"Oh, Chunxiang, you're back from taking the kids to school?"

"Ah."

"How is it? The city is different from our county, right? Is the new No. 1 High School big?"

Chunxiang, carrying a burlap sack, smiled and said, "Xinyi Middle School is the best high school in our Tianyuan City, of course it's big!"

What are you carrying in your hand?

Chunxiang quickly grabbed her neighbor's arm, led her into her own yard, closed the door, and then leaned close to her neighbor, saying mysteriously:

"These are all good things I found at the 'Three Yuan Store'."

The neighbor was puzzled: "A three-yuan store? Never heard of it."

Chunxiang took out a thick, large ceramic basin with a pattern: "Guess how much this costs?"

The appearance of the ceramic basin struck a chord with the neighbor: "This... must cost several dollars, right?"

Chunxiang then took out another ceramic basin from the burlap sack, the same size and thickness, but with a different pattern and color:

"These two only cost three yuan!"

The neighbor muttered, "Three yuan? That's not cheap... Wait, you mean, these two together cost three yuan?"

Chunxiang nodded proudly: "That's right, two for 3 yuan!"

Not only the enamel basin, Chunxiang also pulled out gloves that cost 3 yuan for 5 pairs, a pure white short-sleeved shirt that cost 3 yuan, and a bone knife that cost 3 yuan each...

In short, everything is only 3 yuan!

The neighbor's eyes reddened: "You're not lying to me?"

Chunxiang was speechless: "Would I get candy if I lied to you?"

The neighbor smiled and leaned closer to Chunxiang: "Your family doesn't need so much stuff. Why don't you share half with me?"

"Go ahead! My family can use it all! If you want some, go buy it yourself! The shop is right at the entrance of the new No. 1 Middle School."

"Oh, Chunhyang, my dear Chunhyang, please give me a little bit!"

The fare to go to the city is quite high!

Anyway, your son studies there and comes back every month. If you need anything, just have him bring it when he comes back.

A month later, as soon as Chunxiang's son entered the village, he was so frightened by the red light in the eyes of the village women that he kept backing away.

The aunties surrounded him, chattering all at once: "I told your mother I wanted two ceramic basins..."

Chunxiang arrived just in time, took the burlap sack from her son, and shooed away the people around her like flies:

"The things aren't going to run away, why are you in such a hurry? Let me go home first."

As soon as they got home, Chunxiang urged her son to take out his notebook and have him count out the items written in it, one by one.

She then used the items in her hands to exchange for money with the villagers.

After everyone had finally left, Chunxiang's son plopped down in a chair, looking at Chunxiang with a helpless and speechless expression:

"mother……"

Who would have thought that after a month away from home at school, the only thing he would do when he finally received a call from his mother was to ask him to bring something back for her!

Although everything only costs 3 yuan.

But there are just too many of them!

He doesn't have that much money on him!

But his mother wouldn't listen and told him to find a way to borrow it from his classmates.

Chunxiang proudly blew on the money in her hand and chuckled, "Good son, you must be exhausted. It's okay, you'll get used to it after a few more times."

"A few more times, Mother..."

"What mother? Isn't it good enough to give you the money I earn for your living expenses?"

That's right, she earns 2 cents for every item her son brings back.

Although it costs 2 cents more, it's still much cheaper than a round-trip bus ticket to the city.

Of course, that's a story for another time.

At that moment, Hua Lichu had just finished her work and was rushing to the homeroom teacher's office with Hua Antao.

It was already the afternoon of the second day of registration, but the two sisters were too busy to find any time to go to the school to register.

Not only were the two of them too busy to eat.

All the employees in the store were treated like adults—children were used like adults, women like men, and men like animals. In short, they were extremely busy.

Zhu Yong, the homeroom teacher of the Sunshine Class, had been eagerly anticipating the arrival of the two sisters.

He breathed a sigh of relief the moment he saw the two sisters.

If the two sisters didn't come soon, he was thinking of going directly to the shop to arrest them.

Hua Antao smiled apologetically at Zhu Yong, then quickly took out some money from her pocket and handed it over.

Hua Li looked left and right, but couldn't see Qiu Jianying anywhere.

"Teacher, I ranked second in the grade in the final exam last semester, but I was in Class 2 before. Where do I register?"

Zhu Yong pointed to himself: "Register here. I've already had your table moved up."

"Huh? Oh, good."

After confirming that the tuition fees paid by the two sisters were correct, Zhu Yong said earnestly:

"Hua Antao, although you have already ranked first in the grade, your teacher hopes that you will continue to work hard and not be arrogant or complacent, okay?"

Hua Antao nodded firmly: "Okay."

Zhu Yong glanced at Hua Lichu and realized that although the two sisters were twins, they didn't look alike at all.

Not only do they look different, but their height and temperament are also different.

The older sister, Hua Antao, has fair skin, bright eyes, and a gentle yet aloof temperament. She smiles before she speaks, and the corners of her mouth always curve upwards.

Her younger sister, Hua Lichu, although she has almond-shaped eyes, always wears a high ponytail and sportswear.

She walks with great energy, and with her wheat-colored skin, and her energetic appearance—always running or jumping—she stands out among the listless high school students.

Even the usually serious head of the grade complained in private, wondering where this girl got so much energy.

After all, everyone at the new No. 1 Middle School knows that Hua Lichu is not only a good student, but also runs a shop near the school gate.

Zhu Yong thought of his son, who was like an ancestor, only knowing how to ask for money and who would often drive him crazy, and his eyes turned red with jealousy.

The grandfather of the Kari sisters must have saved the galaxy in his past life, right?

Waaah, other people's children come to repay kindness, but his family comes to seek revenge.

"Huali Chu, I've noticed your progress, and I hope you can keep it up..."

By the way, there will be a placement test right after school starts. I hope you two can do even better!

Hua Lichu and Hua Antao were taken aback.

Wait, a placement test?

Help! Who came up with this idea? Exams right at the start of the semester?

Are you going to let people live?
