Chapter 43 Holiday Homework

It turned out that she hadn't read the instructions on the back of the first page before doing her homework. It said she only needed to pick three questions to complete...

After Zhang Wei finished flipping through the homework book, he found that there were a total of 8 major questions, plus the answer sheet, which was nearly 20 pages long. Excluding the travel time of at least a week, it would still be a bit difficult to finish all of them in the remaining time.

However, as long as she finished three questions, she would only have one question left, and she would immediately feel relaxed, and even have the leisure to look at what questions were coming next.

Some of the more open-ended ones are: What constructive advice would you like to offer to those who travel there in the future?

There is also a math problem: the cost statistics of this trip require a list, but unfortunately this problem cannot be solved because everything was arranged by Mr. Lin.

However, maybe I can take this opportunity to find out how much it would cost to hire Venus as a tutor!

She did what she said and called Paris immediately to tell him her homework. However, she did not say it was optional, but only said it needed to be completed, and asked his father if it would be convenient for him to provide the bill.

It wasn't long before Paris called back and said his father could send the bill to her home tomorrow and asked her to wait.

The next day, Betty brought her a thick stack of paper bills, ranging from airfare to a bottle of mineral water. But what surprised her even more was that the signature on the credit card bills was all Charles'.

It’s not that Zhang Wei wants to take advantage of Mr. Lin, but based on her habitual thinking, since Mr. Lin wants to get closer to Charles, shouldn’t he be more considerate?

But since it was Charles who paid, Zhang Wei didn't feel that she owed Paris so much.

But when she added up the amount of these bills, looking at the five-digit US dollars, and calculating that she had spent enough money in a week to buy a house in China, she felt that it would be difficult for her to repay the Wilson family.

She really wants to make money...

In the past, she had read time-travel stories in her spare time. The protagonists in those stories were able to become rich through business at a young age. She wanted to be like them, but unfortunately, her current environment did not allow her to make money...

First of all, she couldn't go out alone because Country A has very strict supervision of minors; secondly, she had no money and couldn't even take the bus, and there was no bus near her home; finally, she didn't understand the local customs and social environment at all, and she had no idea what to do to make money.

Just like the stock market, people who don’t trade stocks may remember major changes in the domestic stock market, but everyone still knows very little about the situation abroad. The only thing Zhang Wei knows about making money abroad is Bitcoin. Apart from this term, he knows nothing else.

She was a poor girl among a bunch of rich people...

Not only did she have no money, but Dora also had no money. She asked in return, "What do I need money for?"

"Buy something you like?" Zhang Wei said tentatively.

She said: "Anything I like will appear in my room the next day. If it's not there the next day, it will be there the next day."

But to be honest, the Wilsons treated her almost the same as their three sons. As long as she made a request, Emma and the others would immediately satisfy her. However, she was always an outsider and it was impossible for her to ask for things as a matter of course.

So it was understandable that Dora couldn't understand her, as she really wasn't in need of money at the moment.

But without money, she really didn't feel safe. Although she would occasionally touch the big gold pen Aunt Mary gave her and imagine how much it could be sold for, it was just a thought...

She opened the drawer of her closet and took inventory of her other possessions. Inside were some brooches and hair accessories that had come with the clothes. Although she didn't have much fashion sense, they all looked well-made and probably weren't cheap.

She wasn't obsessed with these accessories, she preferred them when they were exchanged for money.

Perhaps her desire to make money was so strong that she finally had an opportunity to make money legitimately - the graduation season flea market.

Manny's class of elementary school students will graduate in June. Starting from the last week of May, the school will hold a temporary flea market every Friday afternoon to facilitate graduating students to sell their unused items.

Of course, the school is set up for graduates, and the stall owners are mainly them. Students from other grades will also participate, but their numbers are not large.

So Zhang Wei asked around about the flea market before the event started, but after she inquired with great enthusiasm, she was poured a bucket of cold water on the answer.

It turns out that food is not allowed into the flea market. Zhang Wei had originally planned to trick Betty into asking the chef to prepare some desserts and snacks to sell so that she could earn some pocket money, but her hopes were dashed.

In addition, people generally exchange goods by barter, and even if they charge money, the price they offer is extremely low, ranging from tens of cents to several dollars.

Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for Zhang Wei to make a fortune from this market, and no one is interested in it.

Dora: "I went there last year. It was all tattered. The books were very old and some were even missing pages. It would be better to buy new ones."

Paris: "There are indeed a lot of old toys, and I'm not really into that kind of stuff anyway."

The stall owner, Manny, said: "That's great, you can come to my stall and have a look. It's better to call more people, and I can give you some for free!"

Well, Zhang Wei felt that there might be more people setting up stalls than buying things. After all, the things for primary school students are just toys and books.

Judging from these familiar elementary school students, no one really lacks these things.

Zhang Wei said: Life is hard, I can't even earn enough to support my children...

But she still wanted to go and take a look, but she didn't expect that the only one who showed interest in this was Grace.

"I went there with my sister last year. There were so many limited edition dolls there, some of which I didn't even have. She's in middle school this year, Vera, I'm going with you!"

Very good, finally there is a good child who doesn’t despise other people’s things. Grace is a thrifty and good baby. Of course, the premise is that Zhang Wei has not seen her collection of dolls.

As soon as Zhang Wei got home, she rummaged through the drawers in her room. She had to find something valuable to exchange with others. Who knows, maybe she could find something she wanted.

She flipped through the elementary grammar books that she had read and mastered, and put them back. She couldn't imagine that any of her senior classmates would need them.

She opened her jewelry drawer again. Originally, she didn't think she needed them, but then she thought about how much they must have cost when she bought them, and how new they were. She couldn't bear to exchange them for useless things...

She sat by the window thinking. A breeze blew over and she smelled a fragrance. It turned out that summer was almost here without her noticing, and most of the roses in the backyard had already bloomed.

Got it!
