Chapter 154: Chapter 154: The ""Almost-the-Same"" Brothers

After Yu Nuannuan and Gu Mo each finished eating a fig, Xu Shuhua picked up Yu Nuannuan and took her home.

No one knew exactly what Gu Jianguo did, but from that day on, Wang Di never came around to cause trouble again.

Life became peaceful, and in the blink of an eye, it was August 20th—the start of the new school year at the village elementary school.

Yu Wei, Yu Kai, Yu Yong, and Yu Jie put on their new clothes and shoes, slung on their little backpacks, and officially became proud elementary school students.

With four of the six brothers suddenly off to school, only four-year-old Yu Shuai and two-year-old Yu Gang were left at home, making the Yu household much quieter.

At first, Yu Nuannuan wasn’t used to it, but she quickly adapted.

Quiet was good! Now, when she called for her brothers, she could save herself from shouting four extra times.

September arrived, and it seemed like the weather cooled down overnight.

Although it was still hot at noon, the mornings and evenings had become much chillier.

The difference between day and night temperatures grew, so Xu Shuhua paid extra attention to adding or removing layers for Yu Nuannuan, afraid she might catch a cold if she wasn’t careful.

Luckily, with everyone’s attentive care and Yu Nuannuan’s own good health, she didn’t get sick at all.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival came the autumn harvest, and after that, it was time to till the land and plant wheat.

Busy days passed in a flash, and before they knew it, winter had arrived.

With winter, the Yu family finally had some downtime.

In fact, all the villagers had a bit more leisure during the winter.

Now eleven months old, Yu Nuannuan was eagerly trying to learn to walk.

She was raring to go—after all, being able to walk meant she could go wherever she wanted!

But Xu Shuhua didn’t let her walk yet, only allowing her to stand while holding onto things.

According to Xu Shuhua, children shouldn’t learn to walk too early—it wasn’t good for their legs, and their legs wouldn’t look nice when they grew up.

Yu Nuannuan had never raised a child before, so she didn’t know if this was true or not.

But either way, it didn’t matter—could she really break free from Xu Shuhua’s arms and walk on her own?

For Yu Nuannuan, what she cared about most right now wasn’t when she’d learn to walk, but how her brothers did on their end-of-term exams.

The exams were over, and today, her brothers were going to pick up their report cards.

After breakfast, Yu Nuannuan waited eagerly for them to come home!

She thought back to her previous life—how anxious she’d felt every time she went to get her report card. That feeling was just awful!

But now it was different—now she got to watch her brothers be anxious.

No wonder everyone wanted to grow up! Being grown up was great!

By mid-morning, Yu Wei and the others finally came back.

Hearing their voices, Yu Nuannuan quickly looked over.

All four of them wore proud expressions, holding up sheets of paper high in the air.

Seeing this, Yu Nuannuan knew right away—they must have done well.

Xu Shuhua could read, so she took the report cards and looked through them carefully. Sitting in her lap, Yu Nuannuan also looked them over seriously.

The comments on all four report cards were pretty much the same, and the scores… were also pretty much the same.

The “almost-the-same” brothers looked eagerly at Xu Shuhua. “Grandma! We all got over 80 points!”

Xu Shuhua dug in her ear. “I’m not blind or deaf! Why are you shouting so loud? Isn’t it just that your New Year’s money will be doubled? I know!”

This was what Xu Shuhua had promised them before: as long as they scored over 80 in both subjects, their New Year’s money would be doubled this year.

The four Yu brothers really lived up to expectations—each of them scored over 80, just 81 or 82, not much more!

The four brothers couldn’t wait for New Year’s Eve, looking forward to getting their doubled New Year’s money.

Yu Nuannuan was looking forward to New Year’s Eve too—by then, she’d be a full year old.

Book title: ""The Big Shot’s Little Sweetheart Has Broken Her Persona Again""

Synopsis: The eldest daughter of the Chi family was raised in a mountain village for sixteen years before suddenly returning to City C. But it didn’t take long for people to realize that this young lady was a bit… unusual.

On the first day, paparazzi snapped a photo of her dining with a movie star, and the picture shot up the trending charts.

Movie star: Don’t get the wrong idea. She’s my boss, I’m her little brother.

Onlookers: Who are you kidding!

The next day, paparazzi caught a financial tycoon tying her shoelaces in public—again trending.

Financial tycoon: Don’t get the wrong idea. She’s my boss, I’m her little brother.

Onlookers: (⊙…⊙)

On the third day, paparazzi caught a medical bigwig sending her to school—another trending topic.

Medical bigwig: Sorry, she’s my boss.

Onlookers: !!!

Wasn’t she supposed to be a delicate little flower? Why is everything so offbeat?

Just as everyone was getting used to Chi Jiao’s antics, one day paparazzi caught her entering the Civil Affairs Bureau with the head of the Quan family, Quan Jue.

Everyone said Quan Jue was a ruthless big shot, cunning and merciless.

Quan Jue: Let me introduce—this is my wife, Chi Jiao. She’s been frail and sickly since childhood, so please don’t bully her.

Onlookers: Master Quan, you might have misunderstood your delicate wife.

*

In her previous life, Chi Jiao died unjustly. As her soul faded, she saw that man kiss her bones and perish together with the one who killed her. Only then did she realize that the illegitimate son raised in her family had humbled himself to the dust for her love.

Now, reborn, Chi Jiao’s main mission is to win over Quan Jue and become his beloved little darling."
