26 Struggle (2/2)

Wan Chao put down her brush, smiled, and replied, ”Okay, mother, you sleep first. I'll go to bed after I wash up.”

When there was no more movement in Bai Zhexi's room, Wan Chao used a piece of cloth to cover the gap between the door and door. She turned on the light again and studied until it was midnight.

The next day she was still awake at five-thirty, reciting an English text and then an ancient poem.

After memorizing both English and Chinese, it was almost six o'clock. Wan Chao then left her room to wash up.

After washing her face and rinsing her mouth, Bai Zhexi had also prepared breakfast.

After the meal, Wan Chao said goodbye and went to school.

When she arrived at the school, Wan Chao didn't go to the classroom, but went to the playground at the back of the building. Just like yesterday, she ran five laps before returning to the classroom to start her day of lessons.

Today, Wan Chao didn't take the initiative to ask Liu Li for fifteen yuan, but waited to see when Liu Li would give it to her.

During class time, Liu Li pretended to go outside the classroom. When she passed by Wan Chao's desk, she quickly threw her fifteen yuan and hurriedly left.

Wan Chao looked at the fifteen yuan on the table, curled her lips, and put the money away. Liu Li had been scared for the time being. She was waiting for Liu Li to take out the money and burst out in rage again.

This day, Wan Chao was still immersed in her studies, ignoring everyone.

Tomorrow was Saturday, which was also the time to deliver the pickled cucumbers to the ten restaurants. For the first delivery, Wan Chao had to be there.

However, the Wutong Middle School had classes on Saturday as well. Before the evening self-study began, Wan Chao walked into the teacher's office without hesitation and went to find the homeroom teacher, Teacher Zhu, to ask for a leave of absence.

Teacher Zhu looked surprised. ”Wan Chao, you want to apply for leave on Saturday?”

”Teacher Zhu, I have some matters to attend to tomorrow, so I can't come.”

Teacher Zhu was a bit unhappy, but she still frowned and said:

”Wan Chao, you guys are already in your second year of high school and there's not much time left before the college entrance exam. You have to make full use of every second to properly study”.

Wan Chao was slightly surprised that Teacher Zhu didn't want to give her leave of absence.

”Teacher Zhu, tomorrow's matters are extremely important to my mother and me. I must apply for leave. Please approve.”

In the end, under Teacher Zhu's displeasure, Wan Chao forcibly applied for leave. As for Teacher Zhu's unhappiness, she wasn't too worried.

As long as her grades were good, anything else was fine. Wan Chao was confident that at the end of the term, she could test for her outstanding grades. When that time came, how could Teacher Zhu remember any displeasure?

The next morning, Bai Zhexi found out that Wan Chao had taken a leave of absence. She wanted to say something, but when she remembered that her daughter had an idea, she shut her mouth again.

The mother and daughter put the cucumber sauce into ten small bags, each bag weighed different, corresponding to each restaurant's order requirements.

The two of them went out with 10 jin of cucumber sauce each before returning to get it after giving it away.

Carrying 10 jin of items and walking a few steps, Wan Chao felt very tired. She thought to herself that she still needed to train her body properly.
