35-year-old Jiang Li was unmarried and childless, running her own small company with an annual income of several million, living a wonderful life.
19-year-old Jiang Li was pretty but brainles...
Jiang Yi was very depressed when he returned home. He leaned his hands against the wall and looked at his sister weakly.
"Jiang Yi, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"
Jiang Li knew that today was the day for the results to be announced, but he didn't ask too much because he didn't want to put psychological pressure on his brother.
"Sister, I failed the test. I got the worst score ever. I'm too embarrassed to see you. Will you blame me? Will you think that I, your younger brother, have embarrassed you?"
My younger brother hasn't been to school for more than four months, and his progress has indeed fallen behind a lot. It's normal for him to fail the exam this time.
Jiang Li prepared herself mentally and felt that she could handle any result Jiang Yi got, so she remained very calm throughout the entire exam.
"You're overthinking it. I know your situation better than anyone else. I can accept it no matter what score you get."
Hearing his sister's affirmative words, Jiang Yi's heart finally relaxed.
"Sister, you are so kind to me. I will definitely repay you when I make money in the future!"
"There's no need to repay me. Besides, I raised you to adulthood and sent you to school not for your repayment." Just don't kill me when you grow up. I'm begging you.
Jiang Li thought silently in his heart, who would have thought that the harmless Jiang Yi would become a big villain when he grew up.
He would do anything to kill her. Jiang Li's heart started beating wildly when he thought of such a suffocating pursuit.
"Whether my sister needs to be repaid or not, this is what I should do."
Jiang Yi is usually gentle, but this time his attitude was very tough.
"Whether you like it or not, I will definitely repay my sister when I grow up!"
Jiang Yi's voice was childish but very firm. Jiang Li stared into his eyes for a long time, and only reached out to touch his head to make sure that he was not joking.
"Well, since our Xiaoyi wants to repay his sister, he should study hard and catch up now."
"I will, sister!"
Jiang Yi snuggled up to his sister with a bright smile on his face, and Jiang Li suddenly entered into a soul-searching session.
"We've talked so much, but what score did you get on the test? Can you tell me now?"
"Sister, this is a little hard to say."
Jiang Yi twisted his thin body, his little face flushed, and he seemed to be really shy.
"Jiang Yi, your expression looks strange to me. Could it be that you've gone from being the top student in the grade to being the last?"
"I'm not! I didn't! How could I be so bad?"
In order to prove his innocence, Jiang Yi quickly opened his schoolbag, took out a stack of test papers and handed it over.
"Look for yourself, sister."
The first one was a math test paper. Jiang Li took the test paper and looked through it quickly. His first impression was that the score was not low.
Jiang Yi is already in junior high school. Is school so competitive now?
After reading each test paper, Jiang Li also summarized a lot of situations.
Although my younger brother's grades don't seem to have an advantage in any single subject, he is actually very balanced in all aspects.
These are some of the aftereffects of not going to school and not doing homework for a long time.
"I did pretty well in the exam. I will keep working hard to get better results."
"Sister, but I feel so bad."
Jiang Yi covered his chest with his hands and pretended to be pierced by thousands of arrows. Jiang Li wanted to laugh when he saw it.
"You don't need to put more pressure on yourself. It's only a matter of time before we get full marks and become the top student in the grade. I believe in you. With your learning ability, you will soon reach peak grades."
"Being first in the grade is great, but we don't have to maintain it every year. Being in the top 50 occasionally is great."
"But sister, what should I do if I didn't make it into the top 50?"
Jiang Yi was still holding his chest with his hands, looking very painful. Jiang Li waved at him.
"If I didn't pass the exam, then I didn't pass. None of this matters!"
There are still some private plots of land left by my parents at home. If my brother's academic performance really suffers because he dropped out of school at that time, he will not have to worry about having nothing to do.
"Sister, are grades really not important to you?"
His sister sacrificed so much and paid so much to allow him to go back to school. If he cannot get excellent grades, how can he repay his sister's kindness in the future?
Jiang Li took the initiative to hold his brother's hand, gently patted the back of his hand, and told him seriously.
"In my heart, as long as you are alive and healthy, it is more important than anything else."
This was Jiang Li's true feelings. She could accept her brother's mediocrity, but what she could not accept was his physical disability.
Jiang Li's heart ached when he thought of such an energetic young man who had his legs broken and became a beggar.
Now seeing his younger brother standing in front of him in good health despite being short in stature, Jiang Li already felt very satisfied.
"Sister, I lied to you. Actually, I still ranked first in the grade this time."
Jiang Yi twisted his hands together and said embarrassedly.
However, this time the first place in the grade was several tens of points higher than the second place in the past, so it was very difficult to get it this time.
"You're getting more and more cunning as you grow older, and you even try to deceive your sister about something like this."
Jiang Li patted his brother's head gently, and Jiang Yi smiled embarrassedly.
"Sister, I just want to know whether I am more important to you or your grades are more important."
"How can grades be as important as you? You are the most important to me!"
"Sister, you are so kind to me."
Jiang Yi held his sister's arm and rested his head on his shoulder.
His sister sold him because of family reasons, and this has always been a thorn in Jiang Yi's heart.
This thorn is very small and cannot be seen at ordinary times, but it will prick his heart and cause bursts of pain when it is late at night and everyone is asleep.
He could understand his sister, but the pain of being sold by his closest relatives still made him feel uncomfortable.
But at this moment, his sister only wanted him to be healthy and didn't care about his academic performance. Jiang Yi was really touched.
At first he had just intended to play a joke on her when he came back, but as he listened to his sister's consolation, he unknowingly deceived her more.
It turned out that he had never understood his sister. He originally thought that his sister asked him to study so that he could make more money in the future, but it turned out not to be the case.
"Sister, since you don't care about my grades, then what's the real reason why you let me study?"
"When you're old enough to go to school, you should stay in school. What other reasons do you need to study?"
Jiang Li's matter-of-fact tone made Jiang Yi excited again.
It turns out that my sister is so open-minded that she lets him go to school only because he is old enough to go to school.
"But I can stay at home and do housework. I can also help you with many things. I can farm and make money by cutting hair. Wouldn't it be more beneficial for you if I don't study?"
"You're stupid! You're my sister's younger brother, not a slave at home. You should go to school when you're supposed to, and make money when you're supposed to. It's best to let everything develop naturally!"
