Zhang Li's aunt, Zhang Mei, walked in with Xiao Tian. When they saw that the white decorations in the house had all disappeared, their originally horrified mood eased a lot.
When Jiujiu saw that Zhang Mei and Xiao Tian were determined to come in, she rolled her eyes speechlessly. She closed the door and walked towards the living room.
Jiujiu poured water for Zhang Mei and Xiao Tian with the electric kettle as she closed the book she was reading and put it aside.
When Xiao Tian walked in, she felt that the textbooks on the table looked familiar. When Jiujiu closed the book and saw the words "Year Two", Xiao Tian's eyes instantly widened.
Jiujiu was reading a Year Two textbook.
Thinking about how Jiujiu did so well in the exams, the principal, who usually didn't know how to praise others, praised Jiujiu a few times. He even specially gave Jiujiu a scholarship.
However, this was only a monthly exam and not a final exam. What kind of scholarship was this? Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that the reason why the principal wanted to give Jiujiu a scholarship was because he felt sorry for Jiujiu for not having an adult in her family.
Moreover, Jiujiu wasn't the only one who got first place this time. Even if Jiujiu was the first to get full marks in all the subjects, the fact that the scholarship was given to Jiujiu alone was clearly an excuse to feel sorry for Jiujiu.
Xiao Tian's brain had followed her father. She didn't know some things that she should know, but her brain worked very quickly on some things that she shouldn't know. She knew that the principal was using this opportunity to help Jiujiu.
Unlike Jiujiu who got first place with full marks in all the subjects, Xiao Tian only got around one hundred places in the entire grade. Moreover, this was because she plagiarized someone else's exam paper. If she didn't plagiarize, who knows what place she would have gotten.
But now, she saw that Jiujiu, who was only in the first year of junior high, was reading a textbook for the second year of junior high. Moreover, the content that Jiujiu was reading just now was obviously at the back of her class.
Although Xiao Tian was jealous and couldn't stand Jiujiu, she knew that Jiujiu, who could get such good grades, was definitely not a stupid person. Therefore, the reason why she was looking at these classes was definitely not to puff herself up at her own cost. It was very likely that she was studying these classes right now.
When she thought about how a junior high school student like Jiujiu had already figured out the lessons that she had tried so hard to understand for so long, Xiao Tian felt as if she had eaten a bomb in her heart.
If it wasn't for the fact that she was afraid that her outburst with Jiujiu would disrupt Zhang Mei's plan and cause her to take her anger out on her, Xiao Tian would have given Jiujiu a tight slap right now.
However, even though she couldn't find trouble with Jiujiu now, Xiao Tian wasn't someone who would give up so easily.
Xiao Tian's eyes turned and she turned to Zhang Mei and said, "Mom, my stomach doesn't feel well. I'm going to the bathroom."
Hearing Xiao Tian say that her stomach didn't feel well, Zhang Mei was still a little worried and asked, "Are you okay? Do you want me to send you back to see a doctor first?"
Even though Zhang Mei wanted Jiujiu's house, if she really had to choose between the house and Xiao Tian, she would definitely choose Xiao Tian without hesitation.
However, Xiao Tian's stomachache was just an excuse, so she immediately rejected Zhang Mei's concern. "Mom, I'm just feeling a little uncomfortable. I'll be fine after I go to the bathroom. You tell Cousin first, I'll be right back."
After Xiao Tian finished speaking, she immediately stood up from the sofa and ran towards the backyard.
There was indeed a bathroom in the backyard, but there was also Jiujiu's house in the backyard.
Jiujiu wasn't an idiot. Naturally, she saw the obvious malice in Xiao Tian's eyes when she left.
However, now that she was being pestered by Zhang Mei, she could only let Bao Bao go over to take a look while she continued to talk to Zhang Mei.
Zhang Mei had also heard that Jiujiu had gotten first place in the exam. Zhang Mei's feelings towards Jiujiu were particularly complicated. If the person who got first place in the exam was Xiao Tian or Xiao Lang, she might be very happy. However, if it was Jiujiu, then it meant that Jiujiu was very smart. It also meant that Jiujiu wasn't easy to deal with.
Thinking about how Jiujiu had used the excuse that his parents were still at home to scare her, Zhang Mei finally understood why she was fooled by Jiujiu.
However, knowing why was one thing, and whether or not she wanted the house was another.
Even though Jiujiu's house didn't seem to be worth much now, Zhang Mei knew how much profit it would bring her in a few years.
Moreover, she heard that the compensation for the house was based on the size of the building.
Right now, Jiujiu's house was only a small two-story house. If the house was given to her, she would immediately build another one or two stories on top of it.
If the building area doubled, the compensation would naturally double. At the thought of this, Zhang Mei's gaze towards Jiujiu became even more fervent. "Lili, about selling the house you mentioned last time, Auntie has thought about it. Since I can't stop you, I can help you."
Zhang Mei pretended to be considerate of Jiujiu. She looked at Jiujiu with a concerned expression and said, "You're still young and don't understand a lot of things. Moreover, you're just a child. What if you get cheated by someone if you sell the house rashly?"
Zhang Mei's every word and sentence seemed to be considerate of Jiujiu. No matter who it was, they would think that she was a good person.
However, Jiujiu knew that Zhang Mei was a hungry wolf that ate people without spitting out the bones. No matter how good she acted, she was evil in her bones. However, Zhang Mei didn't make it clear now, so Jiujiu could only continue to play along with her.
Jiujiu followed Zhang Mei's words and said, "What should I do? How about I don't sell it? "
Hearing Jiujiu say that she didn't want to sell it, Zhang Mei immediately became anxious and asked with concern, "How can you not sell it?"
Seeming to realize that her tone was too anxious, Zhang Mei added, "Didn't you say that you dream of your parents every night? Maybe your parents are in the house. "
When saying this, Zhang Mei only felt a little cold on her back. However, in order to persuade Jiujiu to sell the house, she continued to insist even if she felt cold on her back. "Although they were your parents when they were alive, everything is gone when they are dead. No matter how good they were when they were alive, they might not be good after they died. Otherwise, why do people always say that the house is haunted?
Although it's a scientific society now, there are some things that we can't believe in. It's better to believe in something than not. For you, I'm willing to sell the house. "
Zhang Mei's every word and sentence seemed to be really considerate of Jiujiu.
Jiujiu blinked and looked at Zhang Mei, pretending to be ignorant. She continued to ask, "But if I sell the house, what about my parents? Moreover, if my parents are really in the house, if they treat me badly, won't they treat others worse? Aunt, I appreciate your kindness, but I can't hurt others. "
