Under Zhai Da's repeated emphasis, Yu Xiaoli accepted the fact that \"her son was sending her money.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, Zhai Da knew without saying that his mom was holding onto the idea of saving it for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After washing the dishes, Zhai Da returned to his small room. Lu Wei's tall and slender back was already sitting by the desk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dim light from the [Everlasting Lightbulb] on the ceiling made the area illuminated by the desk lamp look like a warm campfire in the darkness, and there was someone waiting by the campfire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhai Da tapped Lu Wei's back lightly with his knuckles: \"Watch out for hunching.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Wei straightened her chest and head as if a switch had been pressed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How much money do you have left?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Wei quickly reported the number: \"1589.62.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She couldn't save much money originally; she had to rely on a ninja-like ability to endure just to feed herself, and most of her wages went to her beast of a father...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Speaking of which, it seemed there hadn't been news of Wu Yue for a while. What was that kid busy with?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Benqing was about to get out; he had work to do again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the source of the nearly 1,600 Lu Wei had now, it was simple: it was paid when she left the textile mill. At the time, they had withheld one month's wages, but when she left, they negotiated well and didn't deduct a single cent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Added to the tutoring wages that weren't spent during the last legal auction, Lu Wei's theoretical assets were about 3,000 yuan. With her little-pixiu personality, besides buying groceries for the family, she basically had no extra expenses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was enough to last until the college entrance exam and even until she started college in September. After that, there would be summer jobs, college jobs, work-study, scholarships, student loans...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Going to college in the country wasn't expensive, and as long as one worked hard, there were many methods. What's more, Lu Wei's grades would definitely amaze everyone, and any school would help if there were difficulties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, she could truly solve her college expenses on her own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Zhai Da naturally wouldn't let Lu Wei work that hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no rush to say it now; let this girl keep thinking that way. Only by believing that \"she can solve her own college money\" would she feel more comfortable and natural in this home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When it really came time for college...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could he really let her stay in a dormitory?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not disturbing Lu Wei for now, Zhai Da lay back on his bed, took out his phone, and started using the calculator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>73826.15*0.2.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The result was 14765.12, nearly fifteen thousand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhai Da pursed his lips; this was the portion belonging to the other party according to the previous \"eight-two split\" agreement with Lu Siwen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was more than he imagined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in the end, he calmly sent a message to Lu Siwen, notifying her that \"the income has arrived, it's time to split the money,\" and asked her to send over a card number; he would handle it together when he transferred money to his mom later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When people split money, feeling a pinch is an instinct.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, he had countless ways not to split this money; Lu Siwen might not even need it, and he could have just brushed it off by teasing the little girl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could even dump more chores on Lu Siwen without paying a cent, or use \"corporate-level\" thinking to only give her a return consistent with the \"value of a high school student in the labor market,\" throwing 800 yuan in her face, and Lu Siwen would probably accept it happily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that wasn't distribution according to labor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could restrain this instinct; after all, he was someone who had made a vow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he was going to tremble over this little bit of money, he might as well return to the Textile Middle School overnight and tear down that sticky note to avoid losing face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the message was sent, Lu Siwen, who usually replied in seconds, didn't reply for a long time. Zhai Da waited for a few minutes with no movement, so he put it aside and entered his own study rhythm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Wei felt Zhai Da's participation and moved her chair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Send me your card number later too; you didn't spend all the tutoring fees before.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't want it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Saying you don't want it means you do.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then I want it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bullying people...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>——————\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, inside a villa complex in Dongyang, a dinner was also taking place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the dining table, Auntie Liu, who had been busy all afternoon, served dish after dish, then sat at the end of the table, keeping some distance from the family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had already served a portion of the dishes into her own small plate in advance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Siwen ate quietly, while Lu Zetao held a book in one hand, reading while eating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qian Yarong's phone didn't stop; she only put it down after eating half her meal, then chatted with her husband about work matters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly she said: \"Siwen, the teacher said your mock exam results this time don't seem to have improved?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Siwen, who was eating, lowered her head guiltily: \"I didn't perform well in math...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the 08 new regulations, the \"Chinese, Math, English\" papers for liberal arts and sciences were exactly the same. Although her math wasn't bad, it couldn't be considered strong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qian Yarong sighed: \"Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Domestic education is just like this. The college entrance exam is just one of the tools for you to apply to American universities, and not the most important one. I've already asked friends with influence to inquire about your recommendation letters.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go get familiar with the language in July during the summer vacation; admissions in August and enrollment in September is just right. We've also found a good family for the Homestay. Once you're settled, your father and I will go buy the property.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their family naturally belonged to one of the wealthiest in Dongyang, but they weren't that top-tier in the whole country, let alone abroad, so Lu Siwen's path to studying abroad wasn't smooth sailing either; like many international students, she had to pass one hurdle after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, money could solve most problems there, as long as one was willing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qian Yarong was talking eloquently about her plans for Lu Siwen, or rather, the plans for the whole family, her expression already carrying some anticipation. At this moment, Lu Siwen's phone rang. She subconsciously glanced at it and saw it was a message from \"Classmate Zhai.\" Without hesitation, she clicked it open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The content was that the Xinglang split had arrived, asking her for her card number to transfer the money, and also mentioning some communication results with the publishing house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Money was a small matter, but Zhai Da rarely contacted her proactively, let alone sent such a long string of content. As Lu Siwen looked at it, a smile appeared on her lips, which made Qian Yarong somewhat displeased after a while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whose message is it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Siwen said honestly: \"Classmate Zhai's.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qian Yarong's brows furrowed slightly: \"The college entrance exam is coming up soon. That Zhai Da's grades are even worse than yours, right? Aren't you afraid of affecting each other's studies like this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Siwen looked up and said proudly: \"Zhai Da is first in the grade.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qian Yarong paused...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why are you proud that Zhai Da is first in the grade? So the only one being delayed is you?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, that little boy being first in the grade did surprise Qian Yarong; he didn't look like it at all...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Siwen hadn't noticed the change in her mother's mood, or rather, Qian Yarong was serious most of the time anyway, and her mind was still immersed in Zhai Da's text message.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blog was very popular, with tens of thousands of views and thousands of comments per post. Although Zhai Da had never paid attention to it, Lu Siwen managed it every day, which was a very fulfilling thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And publishing was an important step for Classmate Zhai's talent to be displayed to the world. With this happening under her participation, her joy might be even a few points more than Zhai Da's.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qian Yarong frowned and said: \"Siwen, I think you should focus on your studies during this final period. It's best not to get involved in these things anymore.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the exact opposite of what she had just said about \"not having too much pressure.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Siwen finally sensed the irritability in her mother's mood: \"Mom, I haven't delayed my studies...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I think you already have.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My Chinese grades have improved, and the teacher praised me for my significant progress in essay writing. Classmate Zhai taught me a lot!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Chinese isn't important; English is important.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm first in the grade in English!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Lu Zetao, who had been reading while eating, suddenly spoke up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Siwen.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mother and daughter stopped at the same time and turned to look at this head of the family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you like Zhai Da?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1556,"2026-06-17T20:38:09.169Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","fb26b176f3fe463302f4ef2b8f1c368153008521c9db57121d6423d3458e5d96","reborn-in-2008-the-gear-obsessed-heartthrob-chapter-93","reborn-in-2008-the-gear-obsessed-heartthrob-chapter-91",326,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Freborn-2008-the-gear-system-god-cover.jpg"]
