Li Shujie returned to the army in a sulk. All along, he felt this home was very warm, with his father treating his mother well, and his grandparents being open-minded. Although his mother wasn’t that beautiful or smart, she was diligent and honest, genuinely caring for him and his little sister.

This time, however, the incident shattered his worldview; perhaps his mother had changed after living a good life for so long.

After all, she was his mother, and Li Shujie was helpless, only hoping Zhao Jing would stop causing trouble, or else he wouldn’t let her off.

When Li Shuning reached third grade, she skipped directly to sixth grade, then smoothly entered middle school, attended first grade for a year, and jumped to third grade again. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Li Shuning was famous throughout Li Family Village for her excellent academic performance, beauty, and obedience. Only her clueless mother thought Zhao Jing was better than Li Shuning.

What could Zhao Jing compare to Li Shuning, one is in the sky and the other on the ground; unfortunately, she had a mother like that.

Li Shuning had strong spiritual power, remembering everything at a glance, and the things in books were too simple for her.

However, she still had to wait until Zhao Jing turned eighteen to partner with Zhao Donglai, so she didn’t skip grades in high school.

But Li Shuning’s grades were excellent, and even if she didn’t attend school, the teachers wouldn’t care too much. After all, geniuses like Li Shuning had nothing left to be taught, and they were curious why Li Shuning didn’t just jump to senior year and take the college entrance exam directly.

After communicating with the school, Li Shuning often stayed at home, making all kinds of delicious food.

At that time, many people in the world were still in a state of famine.

However, Li Shuning was already experimenting with all sorts of delicious foods.

No matter what you do, how can you be hungry?

Zhao Jing was isolated by people, and even the teachers didn’t like her, thinking she was too scheming.

Zhao Jing herself wasn’t particularly bright, and her academic performance worsened over time.

By the time of third grade, a girl in the class couldn’t stand Zhao Jing and got into a fight with her.

Zhao Jing wasn’t one to suffer losses, and she beat the girl until her head was bleeding.

The school eventually expelled Zhao Jing because many parents believed Zhao Jing was a dangerous person, having attacked her cousin and now beating her classmates like that.

Their own children’s safety was at risk, and they didn’t dare let their children stay in the same school with someone like that. If they didn’t expel Zhao Jing, other students’ parents would transfer their kids elsewhere. Thus, Zhao Jing had to be expelled.

Zhao Jing returned home and didn’t need to attend school anymore.

Zhao Jing had studied in the city before. After coming to Li Family Village, she stayed at Wang Cuicun’s house for a year before continuing school. Now eighteen years old, she didn’t even have a junior high diploma and accomplished nothing.

However, at her age, it was possible to talk about marriage.

Li Chunhua became busy.

While Li Chunhua was busy finding a husband for Zhao Jing, Zhao Donglai came looking for Zhao Jing as in the plot.

But unlike the plot, now Li Family’s finances were essentially controlled by Li Shuning.

However, Zhao Jing knew that Li Chunhua also had a sum of money.

Zhao Jing wanted to secretly kidnap Li Shuning, take the money, and then kill Li Shuning, finding an excuse to say Li Shuning was robbed or something.

However, Li Shuning stayed at home and didn’t go out, making Zhao Jing and Zhao Donglai unable to come up with a good plan despite their discussions.

Zhao Jing wanted to lure Li Shuning out, but with Li Shuning being so guarded against her, how could she lead her to bring out the money?

Li Shuning was always watching Zhao Jing, so she naturally knew Zhao Donglai had contacted Zhao Jing.

She wanted to see what they would do, and her so-called good mother’s reaction after Zhao Jing did something irreparable.

Honestly, over these few years, Li Chunhua’s self-destructive path had left the family cold.

With Li Shuning giving no opportunity, Zhao Donglai was in urgent need of money, and there was no choice but for Zhao Jing to deceive money from Li Chunhua.

Claiming she had nothing to do and wanted to learn business, she found a stall in the city and wanted to buy it, intending to do well in business and earn money to support Li Chunhua in her old age and all sorts of things.

Li Chunhua was easily coaxed and turned dizzy by Zhao Jing’s sweet talk, genuinely thinking Zhao Jing cared about her and was a good child. Unlike Li Shuning, thinking she’d have been better off not giving birth to this child, and who would support her in old age?

And then there was Li Shujie, who sided with his sister, fearing he might not even care for her in the future.

With that thought, out of the nine hundred and some yuan left at home, eight hundred were entirely given to Zhao Jing.

Zhao Jing immediately turned around and gave six hundred to Zhao Donglai.

She herself kept a little as a precaution, after all, a woman needs some money for safety.

Every time Zhao Jing went out, Li Shuning would follow in a hovercar, naturally knowing Li Chunhua’s money was like meat buns hitting a dog, gone without return.

It sounded good, for retirement, but when old, she might suffer a setback.

The six hundred yuan was enough for Zhao Donglai to squander for a while.

However, two months later, Zhao Donglai looked for Zhao Jing again, saying he was out of money.

At this time, six hundred yuan could last two or three years for some families if spent frugally.

Zhao Jing could only say coldly: "Dad, I have no money, with so much money, what did you do with it?"

In fact, all the money was spent by Zhao Donglai on eating, drinking, and having fun.

Of course, he couldn’t admit that in front of Zhao Jing.

"Jing’er, Dad spent so much money for you, there’s a family in the city with a good background, the father is a factory director, the mother a department store owner, and he himself is an accountant in the factory, with conditions that are excellent, three years older than you, just wanted a pretty wife. Dad thought about arranging it for you, isn’t our Jing’er so beautiful, found a lot of people, and finally met up with them. Jing’er, that’s really a good family, but many matchmakers have their eyes on them, and for Dad to arrange a meeting with them, it costs a lot of money."

"Finding several connections, inviting meals, giving gifts, it’s just now beginning to show some promise, Jing’er, don’t blame Dad for spending more money."

In fact, there was such a family, with good conditions, and the man was young, recently desperately looking for a wife, due to a defect he had. Living in the same district, they knew about these things.

Zhao Donglai, who had some connections with them, knew they were looking for a rural wife because city women wouldn’t be fooled, and time dragged on without them marrying. Of course, marrying a rural wife, the prettier the better.

He thought of his daughter.

His daughter was also very pretty; although it could harm her, the other family promised eight hundred yuan as a thank you if successful.

Zhao Donglai knew the man had a contagious disease.

That family was rich, and wouldn’t his daughter also enjoy life there? What’s a disease? The man was living well, wasn’t he?
