In the exquisitely decorated room, on a two-meter-wide bed, lay a fair-skinned girl.
Her brows were furrowed, cold sweat broke out on her forehead, she bit her lower lip, and her face looked a little pale.
"Don't...don't scratch my face, don't...ah!"
Xia Chenxi was suddenly awakened when she saw Xia Yanran holding a knife and reaching towards her face in her dream.
She opened her peach blossom eyes wide, took deep breaths, and looked around. She saw that the walls in the room were snow-white and the large crystal chandelier on the ceiling looked extremely luxurious. She was unable to recover for a while.
Where is she?
Xia Chenxi looked around the room and was surprised to find that she was in the room that her parents had prepared for her when she returned home that year!
Why is she here? Wasn't she kicked out of the house by her parents and now living in a shabby little house of five square meters?
"Hello, host, congratulations on your successful rebirth. This is the Learning to Get Rich System No. 008. This system will provide you with a channel to exchange learning for small amounts of money. As long as you study hard, you can make money and reach the pinnacle of life!"
Rebirth?
Xia Chenxi looked at the mobile phone beside the bed, opened it and checked the time displayed on the phone. It was the National Day holiday, more than a month after she returned home at the age of sixteen. It was also the third day after she was framed by her brother for the first time.
Her original name was Zhou Chenxi. Before she was sixteen, she had always depended on her grandmother. Suddenly one day, a group of people came to her house and said that she was the daughter of the Xia family and had been taken away by mistake since she was a child. They wanted her to return to her roots.
When she returned home, besides her parents, there were also her younger sister and brother.
When they first met, Xia Yanran, her sister who was mistakenly taken away, held her arm and called her sister sweetly, as enthusiastically as a real sister.
Xia Zichen, the five-year-old, chubby and cute brother, was hiding behind the door. He poked his little head out to look at her and called her in a baby voice.
Until later, his younger brother was bewitched by Xia Yanran and accused her of pinching him.
No matter how she explained, her parents didn't believe it. Because they felt that Xia Zichen was still young and would not lie.
After several times in a row, her parents thought she had a perverted habit of abusing children. The end result was that she was kicked out of the house when she turned eighteen.
After she was disfigured, her mother, who had long been disappointed in her, simply coldly gave her medical expenses and compensation for mental damage, and told her not to bother with Xia Yanran.
Just as Xia Chenxi was reminiscing, there was a knock on the door. "Chenxi, are you up? Time for breakfast."
Her mother's gentle voice sounded outside the door. Xia Chenxi calmed down and said, "Okay, I'll be right there."
She changed her clothes, washed up, and went out for breakfast.
At the dinner table, when Xia Zichen saw her, he showed a timid look, as if he was afraid of her.
If Xia Chenxi hadn't been the one who was framed, she would have thought that she had really abused Xia Zichen, which was why he was so scared to have a meal at the same table with her!
Just the day before yesterday, Xia Zichen took advantage of the opportunity to play alone with her and hit his forehead red with a toy, and said that she hit him.
When her parents found out, they were very angry and scolded her for a long time. No matter how she explained that she didn't do it, they didn't believe her because they felt that Xia Zichen was still young and would not lie.
At this time, Xia Yanran seemed to be speaking for her and explained that she was careless and managed to smooth over the matter, but it still left a knot in her parents' hearts.
After breakfast, Xia Chenxi went to the bathroom to wash her hands. Her mother Lu Shulan suddenly said, "I suddenly remembered that I gave Chenxi 1,000 yuan for living expenses last month. She must be embarrassed to ask me for money."
When Xia Yanran saw Lu Shulan was about to take the money, she suddenly called Lu Shulan and said hesitantly, "Mom... Actually, I think that my sister just came from the countryside, and the consumption level in the countryside is not high. It is better not to give her too much living expenses, otherwise she will easily learn bad things. I can do the same as my sister and have less living expenses."
When Lu Shulan heard the word "learn bad things", she subconsciously thought of the scene two days ago when Xia Zichen cried and said that Xia Chenxi beat him, and she suddenly felt that what her adopted daughter said made sense.
Although she is her biological daughter, she has only been back for a short time and she dared to attack her own brother. I think it is because her adoptive parents in the countryside died early and her grandmother neglected her education in this aspect. She needs to correct it.
Seeing Xia Chenxi coming out after washing her hands, Lu Shulan said, "Chenxi, come here."
Xia Chenxi walked over here and saw Lu Shulan took out a thousand yuan from her bag and handed it to her, saying, "This is your pocket money for this month. I paid for two months' meal expenses when school started last time. I'll give you a little more when you pay for meal expenses next month. Spend it sparingly, okay?"
Xia Chenxi looked at the one thousand yuan and nodded, with no extra expression on her face.
As if feeling a little guilty, Lu Shulan only gave Xia Yanran one thousand yuan, "Yanran too, you two are the same."
Xia Chenxi went upstairs and turned a corner, but instead of walking towards the room, she stopped and leaned against the wall.
Sure enough, after a while, Lu Shulan's voice came from below: "Yanran, mom will transfer another 5,000 yuan to your bank card later. If it's not enough, ask mom for more."
Xia Yanran's voice was a little embarrassed: "Mom, sister only has one thousand, how can I have the nerve to take so much? And sister, isn't one thousand too little?"
Lu Shulan said earnestly, "Eating is either at school or at home, so it doesn't cost money at all. At most, it costs a little when we go out to play on weekends. If Chenxi doesn't have enough, I will give her more. You are right. She just came from the country and needs to be taught well first. This child must have no parents in the country, and her grandmother has neglected her."
Xia Chenxi clenched his fists and walked back to the room.
She and her grandmother have been dependent on each other for more than ten years. Although her grandmother is not well educated, she teaches her with all her heart.
Thinking about the fact that her grandmother would die when she was 19 years old because she had no money for a kidney transplant, Xia Chenxi felt that she really had to make money.
Xia Chenxi returned to the room, took out a piece of paper, quickly wrote eight big words on the paper with a bold marker, found a double-sided tape, went out and stuck it on the door, then closed and locked the door, not letting anyone in.
Xia Yanran, who had just finished breakfast and was about to return to her room, saw her close the door after pasting the paper. She went over to take a look and saw eight big bold black words written on it - Prepare for the college entrance examination, please do not disturb.
Xia Yanran: “…” You’re only in the second year of high school. Isn’t it too early for you to prepare for the college entrance examination?
Xia Yanran walked towards Xia Zichen who was playing.
Xia Zichen glanced at her and pouted in dissatisfaction, "Second sister, you are a liar. You clearly said that if I did that, I could drive my eldest sister away."
Xia Yanran rubbed his hair and said, "Don't be anxious, Xiaochen. Let's try harder and a few more times, and we will definitely be able to get Big Sister to leave."
"Really? Will I get hit on the forehead again next time?" Xia Zichen frowned. "Although it's annoying that my elder sister is fighting with me for my parents, getting hit on the forehead hurts."
"Next time we won't hit your forehead. It may still hurt, but Xiaochen, you should know that if you don't feel any pain, Big Sister won't leave. Look, since Big Sister came back, have mom and dad been compensating Big Sister? Have they not been so nice to Xiaochen?"
Xia Zichen nodded dejectedly.
"Xiaochen, remember, as long as your big sister is around, she will snatch your daddy and mommy from you. Xiaochen is a man and you won't be afraid of pain, right?" Xia Yanran's gentle voice bewitched Xia Zichen.
Xia Zichen immediately stood up with full of fighting spirit, "That's right, Xiaochen is a man, he is not afraid of pain!"
Xia Yanran's lips curled up slightly, "Then Xiaochen must know what to do."
…
"System, I want to make money, how do I do it?"
"Host, please recite "The Difficult Road to Shu" within ten minutes, and then write it down from memory after ten minutes. If you get all the answers right, you will receive a reward of 100. If you make a mistake, your pocket money will be deducted by 100."
Xia Chenxi immediately went to look through the Chinese textbook. There was only compulsory course 4 in her schoolbag. She found "The Road to Shu" and began to recite it.
When she was in high school before her rebirth, her foundation was too poor, so even though she worked hard later on, there were too many knowledge points to make up, so in the end she only barely got into college. And, before her death, she had graduated from college for three years.
She hadn't memorized the high school Chinese language passages for seven years, so her memory of them had become fuzzy, but she was not completely forgotten. It shouldn't be difficult for her to finish memorizing them in ten minutes.
After spending ten minutes reciting and memorizing all the words, Xia Chenxi took out a pen and paper and quickly finished writing them down. Then he heard the system prompt: "Congratulations, host, you have successfully written down the words. Your 100 reward has been issued to the system wallet."
Xia Chenxi's eyes lit up, and the system wallet balance in the upper left corner really changed from 0 to 100.
She wants to study! Study hard! Make a lot of money so that I can find a suitable kidney for my grandma and have enough money for her surgery!
Xia Chenxi was obsessed with studying. Since her room had its own bathroom, she never left the room except to eat.
Little friend Xia Zichen, who was originally planning to scam people, didn't get the chance and was in a state of lethargy.
How can there be such a homebody who stays in his room and never goes out except to eat? It's so scary!
On the second to last day of the National Day holiday, after Xia Chenxi had breakfast, Xia Yanran reminded her: "Sister, it's not good for you to keep the door closed. It will be more comfortable if the air circulates."
Xia Chenxi, who was about to return to her room, paused and nodded, "Yeah, you make sense."
After Xia Chenxi returned to her room, she took out the paint she had used in the art class at school from her schoolbag, squeezed the paint into the paint tray, quickly added water, and began to fiddle with the paint. Then she took out the paper and started drawing...
Xia Zichen walked carefully into her room and saw that she was doing something on the desk. He was too short to see clearly, so he asked, "Big sister, what are you doing?"
"Doing homework." Xia Chenxi was not surprised at all that Xia Zichen came over at this time.
"Oh." Xia Zichen responded, and then suddenly burst into tears: "Wow! Dad! Mom!"
Xia Chenxi: “…” The scam that was supposed to happen finally happened!
