She didn't calculate it, what does it have to do with me?

Chapter 45: What Does It Matter to Me If She Can't Calculate It?

Upon hearing Pan Daidi's words, the others watched with a "the more the merrier" attitude, eager to see how Jiang Xia would respond.

Jiang Xia's reaction was to hand over the fifty-six cents she had already counted out to Pan Daidi without even a change in expression.

Seeing that Jiang Xia didn't acknowledge her at all, showing no reaction and maintaining that arrogant demeanor of not taking her seriously, Pan Daidi felt even more stifled. She snatched the money.

Wen Wan hadn't expected Jiang Xia to be so composed, remaining calm even when faced with such sarcastic remarks, not saying a word.

Wasn't she supposed to be spoiled and willful?

But someone who had taken the National Higher Education Entrance Examination three times and still couldn't pass probably wasn't very good at math, likely afraid of making a fool of herself!

Wen Wan decided to show off her skills; she was incredibly fast at calculations.

Before Jiang Xia arrived, Mother Zhou had been telling everyone that Jiang Xia was a city girl with an education.

Well, she would show Mother Zhou who was truly educated.

As the villagers lined up to weigh their shrimp, Wen Wan would announce the amount of money just three or four seconds after Zhou Chenglei announced the weight each time.

The villagers had little education, some even being illiterate, and they hadn't even processed the numbers before Wen Wan had already calculated the result.

Everyone admired her greatly, unable to resist praising her.

"Wen Wan, you calculate so fast!"

"Amazing, she figures it out right after A'Lei speaks."

"Definitely a future college student; Wen Wan will be the first college student in our town."

While everyone praised Wen Wan, they accepted the money from Jiang Xia, not noticing that Jiang Xia started counting the money immediately after Zhou Chenglei announced the weight.

Everyone assumed that Jiang Xia was counting the money after hearing the amount Wen Wan announced.

Each time Wen Wan announced the amount, everyone praised her: "Wen Wan is so amazing, you'll be taking the National Higher Education Entrance Examination next year, right? You'll definitely get into college. Which university do you want to go to?"

"Jing University? That's the best university in the country! Amazing, amazing."

"Why wouldn't you get in? You definitely will!"

Wen Wan stood there in her only white dress, like a star surrounded by the moon.

This was a feeling she had never experienced before.

But in her dreams, she had experienced it: marrying Zhou Chenglei and becoming a wealthy woman, returning to the village with him.

At that time, everyone would fawn over her, respect her, and their envious gazes would follow her.

Just like now, as long as she stood next to Zhou Chenglei, she was particularly eye-catching.

Mother Zhou glanced at Wen Wan.

Wen Wan was also the daughter-in-law that Mother Zhou had initially favored. If her son hadn't been uninterested in marriage a couple of years ago, he might already have children with Wen Wan.

She glanced at Jiang Xia again. However, the current Jiang Xia was also very good; she hoped she would quickly give birth to a grandson.

People continued to bring shrimp over, and hearing everyone praising Wen Wan's quick calculations, they stayed to watch the excitement, as people love to do.

Wen Wan lived up to expectations, calculating very quickly each time.

At this moment, Zhou Chenglei and Father Zhou were weighing Great-Grandmother's shrimp.

Great-Grandmother's family had many members and went relatively early, so they gathered more than others.

The Zhou family's scale could only weigh up to twenty pounds at a time, so it had to be weighed twice, taking a bit of time.

Seeing how amazing Wen Wan was, Tian Caihua wanted her to tutor her sons in math, so she praised, "Little Wan, you're so good at math, do you always get first place?"

Wen Wan said modestly, "No, I'm not that good. Sister Jiang Xia is from the city's top high school, which is much better than my high school, so she must be even better at math."

Zhou Min said, "Little Wan, you're too modest! You're the top student in your school, and after taking a year off from high school because you couldn't afford tuition, you earned money yourself to continue your studies. You got first place as soon as you returned to school. How can those who have taken the National Higher Education Entrance Examination three times and still can't get into college compare to you?"

Hearing that Wen Wan was so amazing, Tian Caihua said, "Wen Wan, my sons aren't good at studying, they can't even do basic math. Could you teach them when you have time?"

Wen Wan smiled faintly, "Sister-in-law Tian, Yingying is exaggerating. I'm just first in total score, and I don't always get first in math. I just occasionally get first. Some boys are much better at math than me. I think Sister Jiang Xia must be better than me, it's better to have Sister Tian ask her to teach."

After speaking, Wen Wan couldn't help but glance at Jiang Xia.

Tian Caihua went out of her way to ask her to tutor her son in math. What did Jiang Xia, this proper Little Aunt, think? Actually, she didn't understand why Jiang Xia had the courage to take the National Higher Education Entrance Examination three times. If it were her, she really wouldn't have the courage. She would feel so ashamed.

She also admired how Jiang Xia could remain so calm even when people said such things about her.

No wonder she could shamelessly stay and not get a divorce even after eloping with Wu Qizhi and being caught red-handed by Zhou Chenglei.

So she was a shameless person.

"She can't teach!" Tian Caihua pursed her lips. She didn't think Jiang Xia was capable, she was just good at pretending.

But realizing that her tone was not good just now, she added, "Children don't listen to their own family members, they only listen to outsiders. If Jiang Xia teaches, they won't listen."

At this time, Father Zhou and Zhou Chenglei finished weighing the Great-Grandmother's shrimp. After deducting the weight of the bucket, Zhou Chenglei said, "A total of thirty-two jin and three liang."

More than thirty jin was the heaviest so far, before it was only one or two jin.

Great-Grandmother's family went early because of Jiang Xia's reminder, and picked more.

Everyone subconsciously looked at Wen Wan, waiting for her to calculate how much money it was.

Jiang Xia handed a stack of money to Great-Grandmother, "A total of eleven yuan, three jiao, and five li. Rounding up, let's count the five li as one fen. Great-Grandmother, here is eleven yuan, three jiao, and one fen, please count it."

Great-Grandmother took the money and said with a smile, "No need to count, I trust your calculations."

Zhou Min: "Great-Grandmother, wait! Sister Jiang Xia, Wen Wan hasn't even calculated it yet? Why did you give the money so quickly?"

Jiang Xia held the pen, lowered her head, and said indifferently while keeping the accounts, "It's none of my business that she hasn't calculated it yet? The money I gave isn't her money, nor is it your money, why do you care?"

Zhou Min: "..."

So annoying! It was really a case of good intentions being repaid with bad ones, all the effort Little Wan put into helping her calculate the accounts! How could someone as arrogant and condescending as her have such a good life and marry Zhou Chenglei?

Zhou Min looked at Wen Wan: "Little Wan, is this the number? Did she calculate it wrong?"

Everyone also looked at Wen Wan.

Wen Wan had also calculated it, and her mood was a little complicated.

Jiang Xia was not wrong, but how could she calculate so quickly? As soon as Brother Zhou announced the number, she also started calculating, but Jiang Xia had calculated it before her.

Wen Wan smiled and said, "I was talking to Sister-in-law Tian just now, so I didn't calculate. Sister Jiang Xia won't calculate it wrong."

Tian Caihua nodded: "Yes, yes, yes, Little Wan was talking to me, so she didn't calculate."

Otherwise, how could Jiang Xia be faster than Little Wan?

At this time, it was the next woman's turn. She didn't trust Jiang Xia and said to Wen Wan, "Little Wan, please help me calculate, I haven't studied and can't do math."

Wen Wan glanced at Jiang Xia and smiled, "Okay."

As a result, this time the money Jiang Xia gave was different from the number Wen Wan reported.
