70s Delicate Girl: A Guide to Being a Rich Woman-Chapter 122: Tutoring Xu Wan

"Sister, elder sister doesn’t like us." Xu Wan lowered her head.

"It’s okay, I’ll find a way to make elder sister agree." Xu Xue said earnestly.

After dinner, Xu Xue came over with some snacks.

"For me?" Xu Mumu raised her eyebrows slightly, perhaps it was Xu Xue’s way of showing gratitude for the afternoon.

"Yes, I wanted to chat with you." Xu Xue looked at Xu Mumu.

"Come in." Xu Mumu nodded, letting Xu Xue into her room.

"Sit, go ahead, what do you need from me?" Xu Mumu moved the only chair in the room in front of Xu Xue, herself sitting on the bed, which still had the book she’d been reading.

"You’re tutoring Jiaojiao and the others, can you also include Wanwan in the studies? I’ll pay the tutoring fees." Xu Xue looked at Xu Mumu seriously. If it weren’t for the fact that Xu Mumu was better at academics than her, she wouldn’t have humbled herself to ask.

"Oh, tutoring fees, huh? How much are you willing to pay?" Xu Mumu said with a smile, knowing Xu Xue probably had some money since she’d been frequenting the black market lately.

"How much do you want?" Xu Xue pressed her lips together.

"Twenty yuan a month, I know you want Xu Wan to graduate from primary school sooner. During the summer vacation, I’ll tutor all the primary school subjects for her." Xu Mumu said seriously. Although she didn’t like Xu Xue, she was indifferent towards Xu Wan, so teaching one more child was no problem.

Xu Wan was two years older than Xu Minglei. Being someone reborn, Xu Xue naturally knew the importance of education. Ever since she was reborn, she had been tutoring Xu Wan herself, self-studying, and earning money, constantly busy every day.

But she was still learning, so teaching Xu Wan was a bit challenging.

"Alright, I’ll let Wanwan study fifth grade next year and then move on to middle school. It’s okay if you teach up to fourth grade." Xu Xue said seriously. Twenty yuan a month, during the two months of summer vacation, amounts to forty yuan, which is a good deal for Xu Mumu to tutor her sister.

"Okay, come over after lunch tomorrow, and in the afternoons, we’ll have tutoring sessions." Xu Mumu wasn’t surprised when Xu Xue agreed. Xu Xue’s straightforward acceptance made Xu Mumu feel she should have asked for more tutoring fees.

"Thank you." Xu Xue nodded, having nothing more to say, and left Xu Mumu’s room.

Seeing Xu Xue leave, Xu Mumu smiled, thinking about earning dozens of yuan during the summer — all for her own pocket. It felt wonderful.

Tomorrow she’ll assess Xu Wan’s foundation and slowly start tutoring her. Primary school knowledge isn’t difficult; Xu Wan should have some foundation, making it not too hard to tutor. But English needs focus.

After a busy morning, Xu Mumu sold all the mushrooms in town and brought back some meat buns. She talked to Li Caixia about letting Xu Wan come for tutoring.

Considering how generous Xu Xue was with the money and the snacks from last night, Li Caixia immediately agreed.

In the afternoon, Xu Wan was brought over by Xu Xue. Concerned about her sister being bullied by Xu Minglei, Xu Xue brought some snacks too.

Xu Mumu didn’t mind, watching the kids being bribed with food.

Xu Jiaojiao was happy to have Xu Wan coming to study with them. Apart from the elder sister, she was the only girl, and now that the third sister was here, she could play with her.

On Xu Minglei’s side, with Xu Mumu watching him, he didn’t have the chance to bully Xu Wan. Before class, Xu Mumu took a sheet with questions she usually gave the little ones and asked Xu Wan to try it.

Looking at the questions Xu Wan answered, which were quite challenging, Xu Mumu felt a headache. Well, earning twenty yuan for tutoring wasn’t going to be easy — Xu Wan’s foundation was very poor and needed proper tutoring.

Xu Wan had only gotten into learning since Xu Xue’s rebirth, and Xu Xue, busy earning money, taught her only basic things.

"Elder sister, is it bad?" Xu Wan lowered her head, her face reddening so much it seemed about to bleed.

"It’s okay, better than Minglei’s in the beginning. Minglei and Tiedan were able to catch up, so you surely can too. You know your sister’s plan, right? If you want to graduate from primary school next year, there’s a lot to learn this year, and you have to spend more time studying." Xu Mumu put down the notebook and looked at Xu Wan.

This girl was introverted and low in self-esteem, with almost no presence in the Old Xu Family, perfectly inheriting the fine qualities of two hardworking and honest parents, knowing only to bury her head in work.

"Sister, I’m not that bad." Xu Minglei, unhappy, looked at his sister, not forgetting to glare at Xu Wan, while talking, why use him as an example?

The little guy was now a top student at the village school and didn’t want to bring up those embarrassing past records.

"Yes, yes, you’re the best." Xu Mumu stroked her little brother soothingly.

With Xu Wan joining the tutoring squad, Xu Mumu paid even closer attention to the children’s studies.

Soon it was the day to receive the report card, Xu Mumu got up early, putting on a new dress brought back from the provincial city by Xu Minghui some time ago. It was quite pretty.

During this time, Xu Minghui had gone with the convoy out of the province and hadn’t returned yet.

At school, there were already quite a few people in the classroom, while the teacher hadn’t arrived yet.

Xu Mumu sat in her usual spot, noticing Xue Yan had arrived even earlier, who was wearing makeup and looked much more mature.

"Did you start working?" Xu Mumu looked at Xue Yan, feeling slightly regretful.

"Yeah, why don’t you come to watch movies, Mumu? I get to watch every day, this job suits me perfectly." Talking about her job, Xue Yan was very excited.

"Really, as long as you like it. My family had some issues lately, I need to tutor my brother and sister, no time for movies." Xu Mumu smiled, realizing Xue Yan probably wouldn’t be returning next semester.

"Tutoring again, why do you love tutoring people so much?" Xue Yan’s mouth twitched. Could it be that Xu Mumu was hooked on tutoring Du Yu, then came home to tutor her siblings? 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

"It’s alright, it’s quite interesting." Xu Mumu smiled, the thought of offering to tutor Xue Yan never crossing her lips.

By next year, once the announcement of the reinstatement of the college entrance examination was made, there wouldn’t be much time until the exam. She’d be too busy with her own studies to help Xue Yan.

Soon, homeroom teacher Liu Li came over holding various items.

Xu Mumu looked over and saw some certificates, a couple of notebooks, and graded exam papers.
