Volume 1: Reborn in the 1980s, selling lunch boxes with my mother Chapter 2: Brush grandma and drop money!
The painful experience in the previous life taught Jiang Tian a truth:
The best way to avoid being asked to borrow money from others is to ask them to borrow money first.
By the same token, if they want their grandmother Wang Chunmei to stop asking her mother for money, the best way is for them to ask her grandmother for money first.
Didn’t her grandma often say that she wouldn’t spend a penny of the money if it was left with her, and that her parents could always ask her for money if they needed it?
Jiang Tian sneered and decided to treat her as a monster that could drop money and go and kill it when she had nothing to do.
Because they have not yet split up, the Jiang family now lives together. There are three tiled houses in the house, and in the yard surrounded by three sides, there is also a kitchen, a barn and a pigsty.
This old-style tiled house has no toilet. The toilets are all in the backyard. They are dry toilets built with broken bricks and asbestos tiles, and there is a septic tank dug at the back.
In his previous life, Jiang Cheng drowned inexplicably in this septic tank.
After staring at the septic tank for a while, Jiang Tian was so angry that her eyes were about to bleed.
At this moment, her grandmother Wang Chunmei's voice came from the front yard -
"Qiongfang, I saw you selling eels on the street early this morning. How much did you sell them for?"
"Give it to me quickly, put it into the public account, and use it to pay the children's tuition."
Hu Qiongfang didn't want to "give up" her daughter, but when she thought of what her daughter had just said, she gritted her teeth and pointed to the backyard with an embarrassed look -
"Tiantian took the money."
"This girl got mad at me today, saying she needed money to go to school, and if she didn't have money, she would sell the pigs at home."
"What?!" Wang Chunmei jumped three feet high.
He threw the melon seed shells in his hand to the ground and ran straight to the backyard.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Tian had already come out from the backyard, holding a half brick in her hand, and gesturing carefully at the door lock of the room where Wang Chunmei slept.
It looked like he wanted to break the door lock and raid her lair?
"Damn girl..."
Wang Chunmei was just about to reach out to hit someone, but unexpectedly Jiang Tian raised his arm and almost threw her old bones out!
Jiang Tian just smiled coldly: "Grandma, you're back just in time, so I don't have to break the lock."
"I've calculated it. My dad pays 50 yuan to the family every month. That should be 600 yuan a year, right?"
"My brother and I can't even spend fifty dollars a year on tuition and miscellaneous fees."
"Plus, my mother also pays the family money every year from selling grain, and we don't spend much money on weekdays. You can't have even twenty yuan in your hand, right?"
"Anyway, I have to go to school today! If my family has no money, we can sell the pigs! Sell the cows! If all else fails, we can sell this house!"
"If you don't allow me to go to school, then no one else should go. Let's all come back and farm together!"
Wang Chunmei was stunned.
Her eldest granddaughter has always been honest and would not say a word even if she was beaten with three sticks. Was she possessed by an evil spirit today?
However, it is impossible to ask her to pay for Jiang Tian's schooling.
Don’t say that this girl’s grades are average. Even if she gets first place in the school, she’s still a girl!
If we spend money to send this damn girl to school now, won't it just be a benefit to other families when she gets married?
Wang Chunmei calmed down and was about to act like the head of the family and teach her eldest granddaughter a lesson.
Unexpectedly, when Jiang Tian saw that she refused to open the door, he threw a brick and broke the lock on her door without saying a word .
Seeing this crazy girl running into the house with a brick in her hand, intending to smash the old camphor wood box where she had hidden her money, Wang Chunmei slapped her thigh, collapsed to the ground, and began to cry and howl.
"This is terrible! Robbers are coming in!"
Before he could finish his words, he heard the sound of a lock being smashed from inside.
Now the old lady had no time to howl. She got up from the ground at a speed that was completely inconsistent with her age and rushed into the house.
At this time, Jiang Tian had already smashed open the camphorwood box where the money was hidden, and was about to turn over the clothes on it to look for the money.
"You dare to steal my money?!" Wang Chunmei yelled in a shrill voice.
"Grandma, what you said is not right. My mother farmed the land at home. My father earned the money at home. When did you earn the money?"
As she spoke, Jiang Tian had already touched a biscuit box made of tin hidden under .
Seeing that she really took out the box where she hid her money, Wang Chunmei was so angry that she rushed forward and wanted to fight her to the death.
Who knew Jiang Tian suddenly dodged to the side holding the biscuit box.
"Grandma, I must get the tuition today. Either you open the box and give me the money, or I will continue to break the lock?"
Seeing that her grandmother was about to pounce on her and hit her, Jiang Tian suddenly picked up the big scissors on the table and stabbed them hard on the wooden table!
This ruthless look really frightened Wang Chunmei.
"Grandma, I didn't scare you."
"Or you can just give me the money."
"Or, from now on, you should sleep with your eyes open! If you close your eyes, I will burn this house down!"
"Crazy~ You're really crazy, you damn girl." Wang Chunmei was so frightened by her desperate attitude that her legs went limp and she could only barely hold on to the edge of the box.
Looking at her eldest daughter-in-law standing at the door, the old lady seemed to have suddenly found a place to vent her anger. She pointed at Hu Qiongfang and asked her to quickly pull the crazy girl Jiang Tian back.
Jiang Tian sneered: "It's no use telling my mom! Let's talk it out now. From today on, all the money my mom earns will be under my control."
"Why? I'm not dead yet! The family hasn't been divided yet, so it's not your turn to manage the money!" Wang Chunmei slapped the box angrily.
Jiang Tian shrugged: "Anyway, if I give you the money and you don't let me study, I might as well save it myself."
Seeing that the hard approach didn't work, Wang Chunmei exhaled a few times, trying to make her expression less ferocious, and lowered her voice to soothe him -
"Why not wait for your dad to come back..."
Before he could finish his words, a loud noise was heard.
Jiang Tian actually threw the biscuit box containing the money to the ground.
The next second, a foot stepped on it, and in a few steps, the biscuit box, which was not of very good quality to begin with, was flattened.
"I! Said! Give me the money, or I'll take it myself."
"I gave you the choice, but you didn't choose it."
After saying that, Jiang Tian squatted down, took out a small stack of ten-yuan banknotes from the broken biscuit box, and stuffed them into his pocket with a smile.
"Okay, grandma, stop crying. Just give me the money, okay?"
"That's all for today. I see there's still quite a bit in this box. I'll come back to you when I'm done."
After saying that, Jiang Tian also took away the big scissors on the table.
Just now I saw half a basin of loaches in the broken basin .
I'll pick a big one and kill it, then stew it into a loach and tofu soup to nourish her mother and Chengcheng.
