Chapter 191: Chapter 191: Where Did It Go Wrong?

Jiang Mianmian looked at her average intelligence value with delight, feeling very satisfied, but the system was quite dissatisfied.

“Host, don’t you think you’re improving your intelligence too slowly?”

Jiang Mianmian responded, “I think it’s quite fast, I added twenty intelligence points in one semester. Next semester, I’ll definitely break through to a higher intelligence.”

The system said, “But I think we can be faster. This winter vacation, let’s finish all the textbooks for the second semester of fourth grade in advance.”

Jiang Mianmian blinked innocently, “I’m just an eight-year-old child, you know. What you’re doing is considered child labor exploitation, which is illegal, you know, and forcing growth isn’t right.”

Faced with such an unambitious host, what else could the system say? It couldn’t force her to study; it had to take things slowly.

However, this matter caused a huge stir in the Jiang Family.

Zhaodi, who was still half-crazy from sickness and adjusting her mindset for half a month, was nervously biting her nails, her mind in complete disorder.

“What’s going on? How can this be? In my previous life, San Ya wasn’t praised by the commune!”

Nor did she skip grades and go directly to fourth grade; she started school from first grade like everyone else.

Why were things happening differently from her previous life? Where had it gone wrong?!

She had thought she could control and change her fate with the memories of her past life, but this change was like a bucket of cold water harshly splashed on her face.

It even made her start to think that she might have just had an incredibly realistic dream, and those memories from more than a decade later were fake.

But this thought only emerged for a moment before Zhaodi shook her head vigorously to dismiss it, “No, no! That can’t be a dream!”

How could such painful and desperate feelings be just a dream!

Meanwhile, in the kitchen, where Er Ya was helping make a fire and cook, was also deeply affected.

She watched her grandmother chop the cured meat while chuckling from time to time, which was completely different from her usual stern expression.

Her grandfather had also taken his old tobacco pipe and gone out to chat with people in the village; she knew he was out boasting about San Ya again.

When Teacher Liu spoke about San Ya’s grades earlier, the joyful and satisfied expressions on her grandparents’ faces were deeply etched in her heart.

She couldn’t help but think, if she could also be like San Ya, the top student in her grade, and not have to pay school fees, maybe her grandparents would agree to let her go to school.

If only she could go to school, she was willing to get up early every day to finish her share of chores and do more after school.

The more Er Ya thought about it, the more passionate she felt, and when no one was around, she couldn’t help but bring it up with Da Ya, “Big sister, do you think if I could be like San Ya, be the top student and get a scholarship, could I go to school too?”

Da Ya was initially stunned at her words, then said with some reluctance, “Er Ya, our family already has three children in school, and there’s so much work to be done at home; I don’t think Grandma will let you go to school.”

Da Ya did not have as strong a desire to study as Er Ya; after all, most girls in the village never attended school.

She also knew that San Ya could go to school because Uncle only had that one daughter, who would eventually bring a son-in-law into their family.

Another reason was that San Ya couldn’t do much work at home anyway; it made no difference to the household chores whether she was home or not.

But Er Ya was different; she was already able to earn four or five work points by working in the fields, and her grandparents would not possibly let her go to school.
