Chapter 45: She didn’t figure it out, what does it have to do with me?
When the others heard what Pan Daidi said, they all watched to see how Jiang Xia would respond, wanting to watch the fun.
Jiang Xia's reaction was to hand the fifty-six cents that had been counted out long ago to Pan Daidi without changing his expression.
Pan Daidi felt even more aggrieved when she saw that Jiang Xia ignored her and had no reaction at all, still maintaining that arrogant attitude of not taking her seriously. She took the money.
Wen Wan didn't expect Jiang Xia to be so patient. He remained calm even when being treated so sarcasticly and didn't say a word.
Isn't it said that she is spoiled?
However, a person who failed the college entrance examination three times probably doesn’t know much about math. He is probably afraid of making a fool of himself!
Wen Wan decided to show off her skills, she was very fast at counting.
Before Jiang Xia came home, Zhou's mother told everyone that Jiang Xia was a city dweller and well-educated.
Then let Zhou's mother see who is more educated.
The villagers took turns to weigh the shrimps. Every time, Wen Wan would announce the price within three or four seconds after Zhou Chenglei announced the weight.
The villagers had little education or some had never been to school, so Wen Wan had already figured it out before they could react.
Everyone was full of admiration and couldn't help but give a word or two of praise.
"Wen Wan, you calculate really fast!"
"It's amazing. As soon as Lei finished speaking, she turned around and figured it out."
"She will definitely be a future college student. By then, Wen Wan will be the first college student in our town."
…
Everyone praised Wen Wan while taking the money handed over by Jiang Xia. No one noticed that Jiang Xia started counting the money immediately after Zhou Chenglei reported the amount.
Everyone thought that Jiang Xia counted the money only after listening to Wen Wan's report.
Every time Wen Wan reported the amount of money, everyone praised her: "Wen Wan is amazing. She will take the college entrance examination next year, right? She will definitely be admitted to a university. Which university do you want to apply to?"
"You want to apply to Kyoto University? That's the best university in the country! Great, great."
"How can you fail the exam? You will definitely pass it!"
…
Wen Wan stood there wearing her only white dress, like the moon surrounded by stars.
This was a feeling she had never experienced before.
But in her dream, she had tried it, which was to marry Zhou Chenglei, become the wife of the richest man, and return to the village with him.
At that time, everyone praised her, respected her, and followed her with envious eyes.
Just like now, as long as she stands next to Zhou Chenglei, she is particularly eye-catching.
Mother Zhou glanced at Wen Wan.
Wen Wan was also the daughter-in-law that Zhou's mother had her eyes on. If her son had not been interested in getting married two years ago, he might have a child with Wen Wan now.
She looked at Jiang Xia again. She said that Jiang Xia was doing well now and hoped to have a grandson soon.
People brought shrimps over one after another. Wen Wan heard everyone praising her for her quick calculations. People loved to join in the fun, so they all stayed to watch.
Wen Wan lived up to expectations and calculated very quickly every time.
At this time, Zhou Chenglei and his father weighed the shrimps from his great-grandmother's house.
My great-grandmother had a large family and was very powerful, and she went there relatively early, so she picked up more than others.
The Zhou family’s scale can weigh up to 20 kilograms at a time, so it needs to be weighed in two batches, which takes some time.
Seeing how good Wen Wan was, Tian Caihua wanted her to give some advice on math for her sons, so she praised her: "Xiao Wan, you are really good at math. You always get first place in exams, right?"
Wen Wan said modestly: "No, I'm not that good. Sister Jiang Xia is from the best high school in the city, which is much better than my high school. She must be better at arithmetic than me."
Zhou Min: "Xiao Wan, you are too modest! You are the top student in the school, and after you finished your freshman year, you had to take a year off because you had no money to pay for tuition. Later, you earned money to go back to school, and you got the top score in the exam right after you returned. How can those people who failed to get into college after taking the college entrance examination three times compare with you?"
When Tian Caihua heard Wen Wan was so good, she said, "Wen Wan, my monkeys are not good at studying and can't even count. Can you teach them more when you have time?"
Wen Wan smiled faintly: "Sister Tian, Yingying is exaggerating. I only got the first place in the total score. I didn't always get the first place in math. I only got the first place occasionally. Some boys are much better at math than me. I think Sister Jiang Xia must be better than me. Sister Tian, it would be better for her to teach."
After saying that, Wen Wan couldn't help but glance at Jiang Xia.
Tian Caihua came to her from afar to teach her son math. How did Jiang Xia, a serious young aunt, feel? In fact, she didn't understand why Jiang Xia had the courage to take the college entrance examination three times. If she really didn't have the courage, she would feel ashamed.
She also admired Jiang Xia for being able to remain calm even when people said that to her.
No wonder even after eloping with Wu Qizhi and being caught by Zhou Chenglei, she had the audacity to stay and not divorce.
Turns out he is a shameless person.

"She can't be taught!" Tian Caihua pursed her lips. She didn't think Jiang Xia was great, but she pretended to be great.
Just thinking about the tone of the previous sentence, I added: "Children don't listen to their own family's teachings. They are born to be taught by outsiders. They don't listen to Jiangxia's teachings."
At this time, Father Zhou and Zhou Chenglei weighed the shrimps from Grandma's house. After subtracting the weight of the bucket, Zhou Chenglei said, "A total of 32 pounds and 3 ounces."
Over thirty kilograms is the heaviest I have ever weighed, before that it was only one or two kilograms.
Thanks to Jiang Xia’s reminder, my great-grandmother and her family went earlier and picked up more.
Everyone subconsciously looked at Wen Wan, waiting for her to calculate how much money it would cost.
Jiang Xia handed a stack of money to the grandmother: "The total is 11 yuan, 30.5 cents. If you round it up, the 5 cents will be counted as 1 cent. Grandma, here is 11 yuan, 30.1 cent. Please count it."
Grandma took the money and said with a smile: "No need to count, I trust your calculation."
Zhou Min: "Wait a minute, Grandma! Sister Jiang Xia, Wen Wan hasn't figured it out yet? Why are you giving me the money so quickly?"
Jiang Xia held a pen and lowered his head to record the accounts. He said calmly: "She hasn't calculated it yet. What does it have to do with me? The money I gave is not her money, nor is it your money. Why do you care?"
Zhou Min: “…”
I was so angry! Good intentions were not rewarded. Xiaowan had spent so much time helping her to calculate the accounts! How could someone as arrogant and contemptuous as her marry Zhou Chenglei?
Zhou Min looked at Wen Wan: "Xiao Wan, is this the number? Did she calculate it wrong?"
Everyone also looked at Wen Wan.
Wen Wan also figured it out, and felt a little complicated.
Jiang Xia didn't make a mistake, but how could she calculate so quickly? As soon as Brother Zhou called out the number, she also started to count, but Jiang Xia finished before her.
Wen Wan smiled and said, "I was just talking to Mrs. Tian and didn't calculate. Sister Jiang Xia wouldn't be wrong."
Tian Caihua nodded: "Yes, yes, yes, Xiaowan talked to me, I didn't go to calculate."
Otherwise, how could Jiang Xia be faster than Xiao Wan?
It was the next woman's turn. She didn't trust Jiang Xia and said to Wen Wan, "Xiao Wan, please help me calculate. I have never been to school and I don't know how to calculate."
Wen Wan glanced at Jiang Xia and said with a smile: "Okay."
As a result, the amount of money Jiang Xia gave this time was different from the amount Wen Wan reported.
