After Marrying Him, the Ending Has Changed

Chapter 97: Chapter 97: Testing Learning Outcomes

Zhang Guihua finally let him off the hook, bouncing off with the brown sugar to lock it up inside a cabinet in the house.

Sun Lixia stood there, dumbfounded, watching her depart. How had a package of brown sugar completely appeased the old lady? Compared to a pair of leather shoes, what was a pack of brown sugar?

Could it be that her mother-in-law was getting senile?

Jiang Changhai, along with his wife and child, went back inside the house.

Once inside, Su Wanyu hugged him and kissed him on the cheek, “Brother Hai, how are you so clever to have thought of buying brown sugar in advance to coax Mom!”

Jiang Changhai wore a smug expression, “Of course, I wouldn’t know my own biological mother’s temper?”

...

His mom might have a bad temper, but she was also easy to appease.

Jiang Mianmian looked at him with admiration. Her dad’s impressive counter-espionage skills must have come from years of matching wits with them.

The system seized the moment to brainwash Jiang Mianmian, “Host, look how much your dad loves you, buying you so many things, don’t you think you should study hard, strive to be the top student, and make your dad proud?”

Jiang Mianmian thought about it and felt the system had a point. She indeed should study hard to repay her dad. @@novelbin@@

So, gritting her teeth, she determinedly said, “Then I’ll study an extra two hours every day in the system space.”

Seeing that she finally understood the importance of progress, the system was extremely moved: The journey from flunkie to top student had taken a step forward, it wasn’t easy!

In the following days, Jiang Mianmian truly did study an extra two hours daily in the system space, which actually amounted to six hours.

With the subjects not being particularly difficult, she finished the entire fourth-grade curriculum in Chinese and mathematics in less than a week.

Then, she went to the teachers’ office to find Teacher Liu, “Teacher, I’ve finished the fourth-grade textbooks.”

“Already?!” Teacher Liu’s eyes, behind her glasses, were filled with surprise.

If he remembered correctly, it hadn’t been even a week since they decided to let Jiang Mianmian study on her own, had it?

Meng Weidong also came over, “You finished both Chinese and mathematics?”

Watching the two teachers’ expressions mixed with shock and excitement, Jiang Mianmian hesitantly nodded, “Yes, I’ve finished both.”

She felt like maybe today was not a good day to visit the office.

“That’s great!” Teacher Liu suddenly stood up, the chair scraping loudly against the floor, startling Jiang Mianmian.

Realizing her abruptness, she adjusted her glasses, trying to calm her excitement, and said in a slower voice, “Jiang Mianmian, come with us to the principal’s office to discuss your progress.”

The two teachers led her to the principal’s office to share the good news.

The principal was both surprised and delighted, and after pondering for a moment, he said, “Jiang Mianmian, let’s test you to see how well you’ve learned.”

“Okay.” What else could Jiang Mianmian say? She simply nodded in agreement.

“You two, bring over two sets of papers,” the principal instructed Teacher Liu and Meng Weidong.

Teacher Liu looked helpless and said, “Principal, we didn’t expect Jiang Mianmian to learn so quickly; we didn’t prepare any papers.”

Meng Weidong thought for a moment and said, “Principal, we have last year’s papers, would that work?”

Upon hearing this, the principal nodded, “Sure, last year’s textbooks are the same as this year’s. Go get them.”

Meng Weidong then brought over last year’s papers for Jiang Mianmian to work on.

The principal also contributed his own pen for her use and let her sit at his desk to take the test.

“Thank you, principal.” Jiang Mianmian took the pen and began writing swiftly.
