Tmall Genie: "..."
"So? Have you thought it through? I'm impatient, I can't wait any longer~"
Zhen Wanwan playfully examined each of the house-demolition tools on the ground, occasionally gesturing towards the spirit of Tmall.
It seems they're comparing which method is easier to disassemble.
Unable to sense human emotions, Tmall Genie relentlessly repeated, "The transaction is complete and cannot be reversed!"
The next second, Zhen Wanwan circled around behind it and struck hard at the spot she had already noticed.
Sensing that someone was maliciously sabotaging it, Tmall Genie became anxious, and crisis warnings kept appearing on the screen.
After Zhen Wanwan removed seven or eight screws, it said weakly, "Sensing the host's needs, do you wish to activate mission mode?"
Zhen Wanwan's hand froze, and she stopped, instead walking to the Tmall Genie screen.
"Mission mode?"
At this moment, her mind was racing, and her eyes flickered with uncertainty. Could this thing be some kind of strategy guide or something?
Considering her current status—she's already taken—even if she were given a male lead, she wouldn't be able to win him over!
In any case, her conscience wouldn't allow her to have an affair.
Tmall Genie: "Activate task mode?"
The machine's sound rang in her ears again, and Zhen Wanwan bit her lip, her heart filled with conflict.
If she hadn't known the meaning behind that jade pendant, she would have just lived her life with her eyes closed.
But with sudden wealth right in front of her, asking her to give it up would be as difficult as asking her to give up her life!
Thinking about how she works day and night to earn her hard-earned money, she still prefers to get rich.
Finally, Zhen Wanwan shamelessly clicked "start," and the Tmall Genie page began to slowly update.
The system update was completed amidst anxiety and torment.
Zhen Wanwan glanced at it and saw that it was no different from usual.
"Old Cat, are you even going to do this? If you don't give me back my jade pendant, I'm going to keep playing!"
She threatened to raise a screwdriver, intending to warn Tmall Genie.
Tmall Genie: "Complete ten tasks to get your jade pendant back."
Hearing this, Zhen Wanwan breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that it could be returned; she was just afraid that Tmall Genie wouldn't listen to her advice.
As for the mission…
What are the ten tasks?
Tmall Genie: "Tasks will be sent randomly."
Alright! Zhen Wanwan twitched her eye and decided not to dwell on it anymore.
Since the mission mode is already enabled, we can just adapt to the situation.
Ten tasks for two million taels of silver? Worth it!
Zhen Wanwan grabbed some snacks and then left the space, satisfied.
They completely forgot that the bad things they had done were not yet finished!
She left the space and wandered around the mountain. Since the mountain was now her private property, the villagers dared not come near it.
The mountain path used to be overgrown with weeds, and she wondered what she should plant on the mountain next year.
After thinking it over and over without finding a solution, I went back.
Guaibao and Tianbao were gazing longingly out of the yard. When they saw Zhen Wanwan return, their mouths twitched, and they looked very aggrieved.
Zhang Mama sighed: "The young master and young lady woke up and didn't see their mistress. No matter how I coaxed them, they wouldn't stay in the room."
Zhen took one last night and they went back to the house together.
It's so cold outside. She went for a walk outside and her legs were completely numb.
Fortunately, the two children were dressed warmly, and Zhang Mama had placed the charcoal brazier nearby, so they remained warm.
Seeing that Granny Zhang was having a hard time, Zhen Wanwan wondered if she should buy a few more servants to help her.
Now that she has received Zhu Yuan's private savings, she is quite well-off, and the shops are continuously sending her money.
She could easily employ more servants, but considering the many eyes and ears in the village, it was better for her to keep a low profile.
The work on Lord Feng's side is also nearing completion. After the Spring Festival, the house will be ready for people to move in!
It's fine to buy people after we move.
After figuring it out, she stopped worrying and chatted with the three of them, including Zhang Mama, while soothing the baby.
Rou'er and Xiaomei were embroidering flowers with their heads down, exchanging a few words every now and then.
The two babies, Guabao and Tianbao, drank their milk obediently, eager to grow up quickly and protect their mother.
As night approached, Yuan Huizhou returned home from school and immediately went inside to spend time with the twins.
Seeing Yuan Huizhou, who had become much stronger and more cheerful, Zhen Wanwan smiled with satisfaction.
"What did Zhou'er learn in her homework today?"
Yuan Huizhou approached Zhen Wanwan respectfully and answered honestly, "We won't be learning anything new today; the teacher will be teaching us arithmetic!"
As he spoke, Yuan Huizhou nervously tugged at the hem of his clothes and glanced guiltily at Zhen Wanwan.
Seeing this, Zhen Wanwan sent Zhang Mama and the others away before holding Yuan Huizhou and asking gently, "What happened? Did your teacher say something?"
Yuan Huizhou shook his head, his tightly pursed lips hesitating for a moment before slowly saying, "The teacher was too verbose with his calculations today, so I couldn't help but tell him the multiplication tables that my aunt taught me."
Zhen Wanwan's intuition told her that things were probably not that simple, and sure enough, Yuan Huizhou was so nervous that he didn't dare to look her in the eye.
“My teacher said I was lazy and that's why I was learning all sorts of random things. I got angry and talked back to him, which made him faint.”
"You really fainted?" Zhen Wanwan asked in surprise.
This teacher has such poor mental fortitude, and judging from Zhou'er's words, this teacher's level is rather low!
Isn't someone like that afraid of corrupting students?
Yuan Huizhou realized he had done something wrong and fearfully tugged at Zhen Wanwan's sleeve.
Zhen Wanwan patiently comforted him, and only after seeing that the child had returned to his usual state did she feel at ease letting him go out to play.
It seems she'll really need to go to the academy tomorrow.
If the teaching level in the county is too low, she would do anything to move three times like Mencius' mother for the sake of her child.
From ancient times to the present, children's education has always been of paramount importance to parents, and Zhen Wanwan is no exception.
If it weren't so late now, and if Aunt Qu's health hadn't deteriorated so much, she would definitely go to the Qu family to ask about the specific situation.
Otherwise, how could she feel at ease letting her child go to school?
In short, in Zhen Wanwan's heart, her own child is perfect, and the fault lies with others.
The next day, Zhen Wanwan got up early, which was unusual for her. After entrusting the two children to Old Lady Li, she took Granny Zhang and Xiaomei out.
Neither of them knew where Zhen Wanwan had gone, so they could only follow behind her.
After passing the department store and walking for a while, we finally arrived at the college gate.
Outside the courtyard gate, Zhen Wanwan explained her purpose to the servant and then waited quietly.
About five minutes later, the servant returned, bowing and saying, "Madam, you've come at the perfect time. The headmaster has just arrived at the academy. Please come with me."
Granny Zhang stepped forward and handed a small gift to the servant before following him slowly into the courtyard.
After a short while, winding and turning, we arrived at the teaching staff's office area.
The college's decor is not luxurious; on the contrary, it is exquisite in every detail, even a single stone has been carefully arranged.
