Married to a mechanic, she shocked the world

Chapter 25: 022: Garbage picker?!_1 Chapter 25: 022: Garbage picker?!_1 Who is Sun Shanshan?

She is the pearl of the entire Sun Family, destined to attend a top-tier 985 university.

What about Lin Wu?

A little country bumpkin who knows nothing.

If Sun Shanshan gets too close to her, it will only drag down Shanshan’s class.

Hearing this, Sun Shanshan nodded, “Okay, grandma.”

She certainly knew who to be close with and who to stay away from.

Someone like Lin Wu should just be used as a stepping stone when necessary.

After all, in this world,
excellence is highlighted by the stupidity of others.

Seeing her granddaughter understanding so quickly, Mother Sun was very pleased and said smiling, “Aunt Shen on the third floor wants you to come over to help Xiaomei review her lessons, go give her some guidance later.”

Her granddaughter was so smart, as a grandma, she couldn’t be prouder.

“Sure.”

After returning home, Lin Guixiang started studying skincare products.

Since she couldn’t read, she could only replicate Lin Wu’s actions exactly as shown in the video.

She had never felt the importance of knowledge before, but now, facing the sterile room’s written labels, she realized the value of learning.

Coming out of the sterile room, Lin Guixiang removed her mask and looked at Lin Wu, tentatively asking, “Xiao Wu, do you think it’s too late for Mom to learn to read now?”

Lin Wu put down the green-covered book, “Mom, do you want to learn to read?”

“Hmm…” Lin Guixiang sighed, “I do want to, but I don’t know if I can still learn at this age.” She was older, her mind didn’t work as fast as a young person’s, and she worried that she wouldn’t be able to learn.

Lin Wu smiled faintly, “Mom, if you want to learn, don’t put too much pressure on yourself. Knowledge is infinite, and life is a continuous learning process, unrelated to age. As long as you’re determined, that’s all that matters.”

“Really?” Lin Guixiang’s eyes widened.

“Of course, it’s true,” continued Lin Wu. “I’ll download some simple fundamental knowledge videos for you later. Just watch them more. Genetics is magical; I’m so smart, so you’re definitely not dumb either.”

For beginners like Lin Guixiang with no foundation at all, reading and watching videos is only the first step, they also need to practice writing and copying more.

“Okay.” Inspired by Lin Wu, Lin Guixiang immediately felt a surge of confidence and said with a smile, “I’m going to take out the trash first!”

Lin Wu took the garbage bag from her, “I was about to go for a run, so I’ll throw it out on my way.”

The garbage room was outside the courtyard.

As Lin Wu stepped out the front door, she saw Lin Guimei coming back from disposing of her trash.

“Auntie.”

Lin Guimei smiled, “Xiao Wu, you’re taking out the trash too?”

“Yes, auntie,” Lin Wu nodded slightly.

Holding the trash, Lin Wu reached the garbage bin and was about to throw it away when she saw two familiar little porcelain bottles in the trash bag.

One red, one white.

Seeing this, Lin Wu frowned slightly and took a tissue from her pocket to pick up the small porcelain bottles from the trash bag.

Three words were written on the lids of both small porcelain bottles.

Beauty Chant.

Beauty Chant was given to only three people: one was her mother, another Zhao Cuinong, and the last Lin Guimei.

Without a doubt,
these were thrown away by Lin Guimei.

She disposed of not just any skincare products.

The sincere heart that Lin Guixiang threw away, as an elder sister, Guixiang only wanted to give the best to her younger sister, only to be met with disdain.

Lin Wu wiped the bottle clean and placed it in the bag, her delicate peach blossom eyes showing no discernible emotion.

Under the night sky, the girl’s clear, sharp profile was so pale it seemed to glow.

“Shanshan, is that person picking up trash ahead your cousin?”

Sun Shanshan had just finished tutoring Liu Xiaomei’s homework when she saw this scene.

She never expected Lin Wu to be standing next to a trash can, picking up garbage.

It was truly disgusting.

Looking at Lin Wu standing by the trash can, disdain was apparent in the depths of Sun Shanshan’s eyes, “It looks like it! She’s from a small place and hasn’t seen much of the world. Let’s go that way and go around!”

She had no desire to speak with Lin Wu.

Liu Xiaomei nodded, her curiosity piqued as she looked back at Lin Wu, “Is your cousin’s family very poor? Have they fallen to the point of having to pick up trash to make a living?” She had just witnessed Lin Wu putting the items she picked from the trash can into a bag.

“Very poor, I heard her mom is illiterate,” said Sun Shanshan.

Liu Xiaomei’s eyes widened in shock, “But I remember your mom graduated from A University!”

One illiterate, one a knowledgeable college graduate.

The educational levels of these two sisters were shockingly diverse!

“My mom is my mom. Even though they are sisters, everyone’s intelligence is different,” Sun Shanshan continued, “My mom was one of the few college students from their village back in the day.”

Liu Xiaomei exclaimed, “Like begets like, the son of a mouse knows how to dig holes! Your parents are both impressive, that’s why you’re top of your class in college! Your cousin’s mom has low intelligence and can’t recognize words, so your cousin can only make a living picking up trash!”

Genetics is indeed a mysterious study, you really turn out like who raises you.

Sun Shanshan squinted, “But she doesn’t think that way. My cousin still wants to take the exam to transfer into Qingzhong School, saying she would drop out if she doesn’t get in!”

“Really?” Liu Xiaomei was incredibly shocked.

Lin Wu, like this, still hoping to get into Qingzhong School?

Wasn’t that a fool’s dream?

Sun Shanshan nodded slightly, “Why would I lie to you? It’s precious to have self-awareness, but sadly, she doesn’t.”

If Lin Wu had a clearer understanding of herself, she wouldn’t make such grandiose statements.

Liu Xiaomei was speechless, surprised that there actually existed someone like Lin Wu in the world, “Your cousin is pitiable and hateful, but above all, ignorant!”

To put it simply, she’s suffering from a lack of education.

Elsewhere.

Lin Guimei arrived at the Lin Family’s home with some items, “Big sister, my mother-in-law told me to bring these over. Don’t waste money in the future, our family lacks nothing.”

Seeing the items that Lin Guimei had brought back, Lin Guixiang seemed somewhat at a loss.

Could it be the Sun Family Parents found the gifts too cheap?

To avoid embarrassing Lin Guimei, she specifically chose expensive items to buy, only to end up with this result…

“Guimei, these items were specially bought for Uncle Sun, Auntie Sun, and Shan Shan…”

Lin Guimei looked at Lin Guixiang and said with a smile, “Big sister, you’re not in a good place financially right now. Save where you can. We don’t need these items; we’re all family, so there’s no need for formalities in the future.”

Her words were nobly put, extremely eloquent, leaving no room for criticism.

After speaking, Lin Guimei stood up from the chair, “It’s getting late, I should head back. Big sister, you should rest early too.”

“…Okay.”

Lin Guixiang had just sent Lin Guimei out the door when Lin Wu returned home.

Seeing the items on the ground, Lin Wu quickly grasped the situation, turning to look at Lin Guixiang, “Mom, did Auntie send these back?”

Lin Guixiang sighed, looking up at Lin Wu with a complex expression in her eyes, “Xiao Wu, do you think I’ve embarrassed your aunt?”

“Embarrassed?” Lin Wu frowned slightly and countered, “When she was dependent on you for support, why wasn’t she embarrassed by you then? Could she have successfully graduated from junior college without you? Don’t always put the blame on yourself. As the eldest sister, you’ve done enough! Since they are ungrateful, there’s no need for you to keep trying to win them over. Just maintain a superficial relationship, get too close and they’ll think you want to take advantage of them.”
