Chapter 347 Subduing Xiao Hua
Xiao Hua’s lips curled into a hint of sarcasm: "I used to dare to provoke you because I knew that if I didn’t do that, I couldn’t study, and studying was the only way I could think of to change my fate.
In the past, even what I did for money had a bottom line, spreading those rumors because I thought they were the real you, I thought my actions were just revealing the truth.
But I’ve already paid the price for this, so you can’t punish me anymore.
Later, when I realized you were like those Cultivators, I felt more at ease, because I knew that even if I offended you, you would only punish me accordingly based on my offense, not too excessively.
And if I didn’t offend you, I wouldn’t even be able to keep reading. Between being retaliated by you and affecting my future, I’d rather be retaliated by you."
Jiang Mengyu really didn’t expect this Xiao Hua to understand so much.
She’s right, she [Jiang Mengyu] would only retaliate equivalently, without really treating her excessively.
She was risking the danger of being punished by herself just to get that US$ 30, it shows that she was indeed fighting for her fate. She somewhat admired her for that.
"You do see things very clearly. Jiang Huaiyu thinks she’s using you, but in fact, you’re also using her, aren’t you? You’re so smart, do you know why I stopped you today?"
After pondering for a while, Xiao Hua lifted her head: "You want to tempt me!"
Jiang Mengyu almost choked on her own saliva: "You—are really—special."
How did she not notice that there was such a female classmate in their class 39?
She felt puzzled again: "You’re so smart, why don’t you try to earn some money to study on your own, instead of having to earn the opportunity to study by serving Jiang Huaiyu?"
Xiao Hua looked at Jiang Mengyu as if she were an idiot: "Do you think everyone is you, who can easily rank first in the grade? I’m just a student of ordinary talent, who can only achieve today’s results by devoting all my energy to studying, hoping to get into university.
If I spent my time and energy on making money, would I still get good grades?
If I didn’t have good grades, my parents, who favor boys over girls, would be even less likely to let me continue studying; without good grades, I would have no chance of getting into university to change my fate."
Jiang Mengyu’s heart stumbled, yes, if one is an ordinary person, if not devoting all their energy to studying, how can they achieve good results?
As for earning money by serving Jiang Huaiyu, it was just a little manipulation during spare time, which didn’t take much of her effort, and didn’t affect her study time.
Xiao Hua looked at her seriously: "Tell me, what do you want me to do? I’ll say this first, I can only do some small pranks, even if it’s successful, it won’t have big consequences, I definitely won’t do any big tasks."
Jiang Mengyu’s lips curved, finally showing a real smile: "The task I’m asking you to do won’t cause big problems.
You’re now in class 38, the same class as Jiang Huaiyu. Starting from next term, I need you to monitor Jiang Huaiyu for me. I’ll give you ten yuan a month, report to me immediately if you notice any unusual activities, each report costs five yuan."
Xiao Hua lowered her head.
Although she had now received US$ 30 from Jiang Huaiyu, this US$ 30 was barely enough.
Next semester’s tuition fee is ten yuan, and every month’s meal tickets are three yuan; this US$ 30 could only ensure she paid her tuition and meal ticket fees.
There’s still no sign of accommodation fee and book costs.
