The Substitute Madam Amazes the World Once More

“Then why did you tell me that your family is very poor?” Mo Zhu still sounded doubtful.

Meng Ran blinked and emphasized seriously, “Sister Mo, I’m not lying to you. My family is really poor. Every time my parents go out to sell the crops, they can only sell a third of it. The rest that can’t be sold are left at home. It’s not easy for my family to provide for my studies with the little income we

have!”

‘When Mo Zhu heard this, she lowered her eyes and did not speak. She had always thought that Meng Ran was like most of the students in Jingyang High School, ordinary children in Cloud City. She did not expect her family to have such an outstanding background!

To be able to grow a courtyard of the Ten Thousand Aged Pine Snow Herb at home, Meng Ran’s parents must have some unknown identity. It had to be known that any one of the Pine Snow Herb would be enough for a family to not have to worry about food, clothing, and development in the future. The

young lady had such a background but she was still crying about being poor to her. If her family was poor, there might not be many rich people in this world!

When Meng Ran saw that Mo Zhu kept her head lowered and did not speak after hearing her explanation, she was afraid that the girl would be unhappy. She raised her hand and gently pulled Mo Zhu’s hand. Meng Ran’s nose turned sour and she suddenly sniffed and said, “Sister Mo, I know my mistake.

Don’t be angry with me. If there’s anything else you want to know about my family, just ask. I’l tell you everything, no matter how big or small!”

‘Mo Zhu looked up at Meng Ran expressionlessly. A moment later, she rubbed the girl’s head and asked softly, “I don’t blame you. I’m just a little curious about this medicine. Can you ask your parents later and let me visit your plantation?”

Just as she finished speaking, Meng Ran excitedly put on a smile and replied, “Yes, yes, yes. Sister Mo, if you can come to my house to play, my parents will definitely be very happy. The last time my father came to the parent-teacher meeting in class, he told me that he wanted me to invite you to our

house as a guest. I haven’t found a chance to tell you about it!”

After pausing for a moment, Meng Ran looked at the calendar and added happily, “Sister Mo, it’s Saturday tomorrow. Why don’t you come over and look for me tomorrow? I’ll inform my parents too. They’ll be back soon!”

Although Meng Ran’s family had a small house near Jingyang High School in Cloud City, her parents had a large plot of field that they needed to take care of, so they had been living in a small county beside the suburbs. Usually, on the weekends when there were no tutoring classes, Meng Ran would return

to the county city to help with some farm work.

Mo Zhu nodded in agreement at the girl’s words. After the two of them had finished discussing it, the lesson had just ended. The form teacher, Li Xiao, walked into Class Eight with a notice that the school had just issued.

The man stood on the podium and raised his hand to knock on the blackboard. He straightened the notice sheet in his hand with a serious expression and said, “Students, the school leaders have just received news that the annual Mathematical Olympiad of H Nation is about to start. Jingyang High School

is fortunate to have received an invitation to send students to register for it.”

“The competition will be held next weekend and there will be two parts to the competition. There is a portion of free answer questions and another portion with high difficulty questions. All participants will have the same questions on the free answer question segment. The result when handing in the

paper is the final score. As for the difficult questions, the participant will choose a suitable one from the question bank according to his or her own ability. After choosing the question, the marks will be evaluated by the judges present!”

After a pause, Li Xiao seemed to have thought of something. He knocked on the blackboard excitedly again and added, “Country H has awarded the number of competition entries this time based on the overall results of Jingyang High School in the past years. There is news that the high difficulty

challenge segment is different from the past. A team will be allowed to answer the question together. No matter which team wins, all the team members can directly be admitted to Beijing University without having to take the college entrance examination! However, as it is a last minute notice, there isn’t

enough time to prepare, so the participant list has to be submitted before Monday. Students who are willing to participate, please raise your hands and let me take a look!”

Just as the man finished speaking, the entire Class Eight erupted into chaos. The schools in Beijing had taken all the spots of competitions that had such a guarantee. Not many competitions were willing to give Jingyang High School a place. They did not expect that this time, not only did they give them

competition entry spots, but they had even come out with a brand new team competition format.

Some of the active students in the class had already started discussing this matter.. “Team competition? If we can team up, won’t we be able to find a few powerful geniuses to carry the team even if we are not that smart?”
