Rebirth in the 80s: The Scholar Wife is Cute

Deceived into marriage, exploited for a lifetime as a nanny without pay, and finally beaten to death by her adoptive mother in front of her adoptive father's sickbed, Shen Mianmian's miserable life came to an end. When she opened her eyes again, she found herself back at fifteen. Shen Mianmian vowed to escape her past fate, punish her malicious cousin and adoptive mother, but accidentally shone too brightly in the process. The third-to-last student in school suddenly rose to the top, becoming the candidate fought over by prestigious universities, causing a sensation among all the teachers and students... While others were busy studying, Shen Mianmian was busy starting small businesses to make money... While others were preparing for the college entrance exams, Shen Mianmian purchased the two most notorious haunted houses in Beijing in one go... becoming an oddity in everyone's eyes, they mocked her that even if she had the fortune to buy them, she might not have the life to live in them. While others graduated and were busy looking for jobs, the haunted properties purchased by Shen Mianmian were requisitioned by the government, earning her a considerable amount of demolition compensation. Those who had mocked her couldn't help but slap themselves twice... inquiring everywhere where there might be haunted houses for sale. Shen Mianmian, originally needing to borrow money for tuition fees, used the demolition funds and leveraged her rebirth advantage to buy a suitable plot of land and built a rental building, transforming into a Beijing's wealthiest and most prosperous landlady... One day, Shen Mianmian, carrying a bag of keys and having just collected the rent, was dragged to the Civil Affairs Bureau. "Shen Mianmian, it's time for you to pay back what you owe me."

Chapter 417 Thwarted

It was only standing without doing any work, so it didn't count as hardship at all. Shen Jianhua had worked himself to exhaustion at the kiln factory and still hadn't earned that much money. In the past, they dared not even think about building a new house.

Now that he knew his daughter had such a large sum of money, all he could think about was a new tiled house.

That's just how people are. If they know they can't afford it, they don't give it a second thought. But once there's hope, it starts to consume their mind.

With the belief in building a house, Shen Jianhua's gaze was fixed intently on the school gates. From the moment the first student walked out, he began to widen his eyes in anticipation. What he didn't expect was that, even after Zhou Siyu came out, there was still no sign of Shen Mianmian.

As soon as Zhou Siyu came out, she first asked about the money. When she found out they hadn't managed to get it, her mood immediately soured.
