Chapter 621: Chapter 622 Sister Like Mother 39_1

Huang Man had been tidying up the house for a long time before it was presentable, and she was really tired.

She got up to wash the cloth outside, planning to return to her room to rest once she had finished up.

"Sis, you’re back. Can you cook dinner tonight?" Huang Xin called out to her, genuinely wanting to eat the food she made.

"You need to eat too." Huang Xin felt that Huang Man probably wouldn’t be tutoring today and wouldn’t miss dinner.

"I bought some noodles; I’m going to have noodles later." Anyway, she would go to the Zhao Family tomorrow, where there would definitely be delicious food, so she planned to improve her meals there.

She pulled out 50 yuan from her pocket, "This is for the utility and firewood expenses I’ve incurred while at home these days."

"And for the New Year’s Eve dinner, I’ll buy the groceries."

"At other times, I’ll eat by myself." Huang Man made her intentions clear, which was that she wouldn’t join them for New Year shopping, and even if they ate New Year’s Eve dinner together, she would only prepare her own portion.

Zhao Mei and the others, watching her, really wanted to tell her they didn’t need her stinking money and to just get lost.

But they didn’t have the courage to say such things; what if this girl really packed up her things and left? What would they do then?

Zhao Mei didn’t even consider it, promptly and decisively pocketing the money, "Really, you make more than enough with tutoring; why are you so stingy?"

"I have no choice," Huang Man spread her hands, "My expenses aren’t small; I’m in my senior year now, and I need to buy workbooks."

"Plus, I have to eat, and I can’t allow myself to go hungry."

"Otherwise, without a healthy body, how could I sit for the college entrance exam?"

"By the way, Little Xin, if you want to eat something delicious, you can consider going to a restaurant. Your mother won’t object to that suggestion."

Huang Man glanced at the meal; it was really plain, but she thought that was probably just for her to see.

Even if Huang Xin and the others could bear eating this every day, Zhao Mei herself couldn’t.

The idea of going out to eat something tasty made Huang Xin’s eyes light up, and he looked expectantly at Zhao Mei.

The latter said irritably, "Don’t you know how much money we have left at home?"

"I also want to go out to eat." The food she cooked wasn’t good, and high-quality ingredients were expensive, which she was reluctant to buy.

"Then you’ll just have to work on improving your cooking skills." Huang Man figured that Zhao Mei had nothing better to do at home and could use the time to get better at cooking.

Again with the learning, "I’m already this old; I can’t learn anything new."

Zhao Mei had no intention of learning; some things, once started, won’t stop there and will lead to learning more and more.

Zhao Mei’s reluctance to make an effort didn’t surprise Huang Man, "If you don’t want to learn, then don’t learn."

"After all, whether or not you eat well is your own business." Huang Man yawned and prepared to go back to her room.

It was then that Zhao Mei remembered to ask her something, "I forgot to ask about your test results."

Zhao Mei thought the reason why Huang Man was so forceful was that they had let her go to school, all the way through high school. The more she learned, the less reverence she had for her parents.

"Not bad; I came second in my grade this time," Huang Man replied casually.

"Mom, don’t worry; I will definitely work hard to get into college."

"Oh, by the way, Little Xin, how did you do in your exams?" Huang Man arrogantly stated she was sure to get into college, aiming to make Zhao Mei proud.

Zhao Mei hoped for a college graduate in the family, but not Huang Man. It would be much better if it were Huang Xin.

When Zhao Mei thought of Huang Xin’s grades, she was so infuriated that she nearly spat blood, "Chinese, math, English, physics, and chemistry—added together, they don’t even make up 150 points."

"Li Na’s scores are only slightly better, yet the total doesn’t exceed 200 points."

Even as oblivious as Zhao Mei was, she knew that these results were beyond hope, "Do you think there’s any chance for them to attend high school with these scores?"

Zhao Mei was still calculating, unsure whether there was still a glimmer of hope if they started tutoring now with such scores.

The two of them, both with total scores not exceeding 200 points, were still entertaining the thought of high school.

Huang Man sneered inwardly, thinking Zhao Mei was delusional, but she would absolutely not voice such a buzzkill.

"It depends on whether they want to learn or not. Mom, you should ask Little Xin what they think."

"It’s not about what you want; they don’t have to act according to your words." In her previous life, this woman was very skilled at curry favor with Huang Xin and the others—this time, she’d also play the good person.

"I don’t want to take extra classes." Huang Xin had no intention of attending them, "Mom, I’ve thought it over. I think current state is quite fine."

"I don’t want to continue studying anymore."

"There are many people who didn’t attend college, and aren’t they doing quite fine?" At present, Huang Xin was also researching whether it’s possible to get rich without a college education.

He discovered that quite a few wealthy individuals only had elementary school diplomas, "Many bosses have just completed elementary school and have hired quite a few college graduates to work for them."

"Mom, I’ve made up my mind. Although I’m just a middle school student, with a bit of effort, then I can become a big boss."

Huang Xin was very confident in himself, believing he was bound to become a big boss, "By that time, sis, you can work for me."

"Of course, I’ll assign you tasks and salary based on your abilities even though I’m the boss, but I can’t show too much favoritism."

Humph, once he became a big boss, he definitely wouldn’t let Huang Man off the hook; he’d make her realize the severe consequences of not catering to his wishes.

Huang Xin, a big boss? And she was supposed to work for someone? Huang Man truly couldn’t take it any longer, "Sorry, but I never planned to work for you."

"The best way to avoid favoritism is to not let relatives and friends enter the company." Whatever company he would run, even if it expanded, wouldn’t be all that significant.

If after all her experience, she still had to work under Huang Xin, it would truly be a step backward.

She couldn’t bear the thought of what the System might say, mocking her, if she really stooped to that level.

"If I could go to college, then I should be able to find a decent job outside."

"If your brother starts a company, you can come back and help." Zhao Mei, of course, also hoped Huang Xin could start a company, so her life would get better.

"No need, Huang Xin, whether your life is good or bad, that’s your business."

"Alright, I’m going back now."

"And if you do start a company, good luck."

Indeed, there were quite a few people in the past who became big bosses without higher education, for various reasons.

But over time, the requirements for being a boss have increased, and the number of bosses with low education has diminished.

Huang Xin watched Huang Man’s retreating figure with a dark expression, his face fearsomely grim, "Once I’m rich, I’ll definitely teach her a harsh lesson."

Huang Lina knew Huang Xin was full of ideas, but also a daydreamer, "Have you thought about how you will start your business?"

"Even to be a boss, you need some capital for the venture," knew Huang Lina, aware that Huang Xin was not one to endure hardships, never considering earning his first bucket of gold through hard work.
