After Marrying Him, the Ending Has Changed

Chapter 77: Chapter 77 Caught in a Conversation

Indeed, a perfect score—her precious eggs hadn’t been wasted in vain! There was also hope now to recoup the money spent on tuition and school supplies!

And she decided that after dinner, she would take the two test papers and show them off around the village, and see who would dare to mock her for wasting money on her daughter’s education!

Da Ya and the other girls were looking at Jiang Mianmian with faces full of admiration and envy. “San Ya, you’re so amazing!”

The couple from the second branch was also pleased; after all, they were one family. If San Ya succeeded, it reflected well on them too.

Moreover, once San Ya became a worker in the city, their daughters would also be looked upon more favorably by their in-laws.

And if anything came up in the future, San Ya would certainly lend a helping hand.

As for the idea of making an egg custard for Jiang Mianmian, they had no objections.

After all, even if they didn’t give it to San Ya, it wouldn’t end up in the mouths of their own daughters anyway.

Sun Lixia’s face turned sour as she looked at Jiang Mianmian, who was surrounded by people.

That lazy girl had actually come back with a first-place result—wasn’t Zhiwu saying that the fourth-grade textbooks were very difficult?!

Just then, two young boys came running back with their school bags on their backs.

As soon as Zhiwu entered the courtyard, not noticing the dreadful look on his biological mother’s face, he ran to Jiang Mianmian, exclaiming with joy, “San, Mianmian, you’re incredibly awesome! You’ve really made your second brother proud; now the whole school knows I have a sister who came first.”

“Even our teacher praised you to us, telling us to learn from you; I’ve told all my classmates that you’re my little sister,” Zhiwu said proudly.

Sun Lixia looked at her two clueless and silly sons with dismay!

Didn’t they understand? There was only so much of the good stuff at home; the better San Ya did in school, the more she would get, leaving even less for them.

Before, even when that wretched girl hadn’t come first, they had already let others eat their eggs. If she really got into a high school later, wouldn’t this mean their third branch wouldn’t even have a place to stand?!

But she couldn’t explain this to her two sons openly, fearing their young age and lack of guile would lead to the first branch coaxing information out of them.

Better to be out of sight, out of mind—she returned to her own room with a cold face.

That evening, as Jiang Mianmian savored the delicious egg custard, she scooped a few spoonfuls for Jiang Changhai and then a few for Su Wanyu, making both beam with delight.

Watching the golden egg custard in Jiang Mianmian’s bowl, Zhiwu looked at Zhang Guihua with a coquettish gaze. “Grandma, I want to eat egg custard too.”

“Me too,” exclaimed Zhiwu loudly.

“You don’t get any.”

Jiang Dashan glanced at his two grandsons, then looked at Jiang Mianmian who was eating her egg custard, “Zhiwen, Zhiwu, if you want to eat egg custard, you need to study hard in school. Starting today, for each test, any of you three who scores above ninety in two subjects will be rewarded with an egg.”

The two boys immediately frowned at this news; they couldn’t even score sixty! @@novelbin@@

So, they simply bowed their heads and ate their rice, not mentioning egg custard again.

Meanwhile, Jiang Changhai watched his nephews with their sullen faces, raising an eyebrow—he still remembered how Sun Lixia had doubted his daughter earlier in the afternoon.

“Zhiwen, Zhiwu, in the excitement of asking Mianmian about her scores this afternoon, we overlooked you guys. Now, your uncle wants to know, how did you do on your exams?”

The two boys, who had been secretly relieved that day, thinking that no one would ask about their scores since everyone was concerned about Jiang Mianmian, were now put on the spot.
