Back to the Past: The Rise of the False Heiress Marrying the True Tycoon

Chapter 742: I Will Definitely Become Better

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

As the words fell from Su Li’s lips, his gaze was focused on the incorrect problems before him.

Gu Zi looked at him, her eyes revealing a surprised expression. In truth, compared to before, Su Li had already put much more effort into his studies. Although he still couldn’t match the dedication of his older brother, Su Bing, Gu Zi had noticed his changes and felt quite gratified. However, she had never expected that his attitude towards studying would improve even further.

Gu Zi reasoned that now that the two brothers had transferred schools, their new institution was a leading one in the city. Moreover, it had foreign language courses starting from the first grade. Su Li indeed needed to put in more effort. His improved attitude towards studying was a good thing.

However, Gu Zi couldn’t help but feel puzzled. It was reasonable to say that Su Bing didn’t like going out and didn’t like spending time making friends. Just like earlier, after finishing his snack, he picked up his textbook and went to the study room to preview the lessons. Gu Zi knew that Su Bing had started previewing the chapters in the textbook from the day he got it. By now, he had probably previewed almost half of the course.

But today was strange. Su Li didn’t even think about playing. He picked up the incorrect problems from the entrance exam and came to her for tutoring. Not only was she a bit taken aback, but even Gao Ming, a classmate, was also rejected quite suddenly.

Gao Ming looked at him for a while, not knowing if he understood what was going on with Su Li. He said to Su Li, “Then I’ll also study. Wait for me. I’ll go get my textbook and study with you.”

Gu Zi still wanted to understand her child’s thoughts. While Gao Ming went to get his textbook, she asked Su Li, “Is it because of what happened at school today that you want to study harder and move up in the class rankings?”

While Su Li was recalculating the incorrect problems, he responded while writing, “Mom, today, Teacher Zhou said that I’m a rural child and that my grades are so far behind that I’ll drag the class down. She also said that I would affect the other students in the class. I was very angry, but I felt that my anger couldn’t be expressed. I should study hard and not give Teacher Zhou a chance to say such things again.”

Upon hearing these words, Gu Zi’s face also darkened a bit. This Teacher Zhou was really too much. Who was she acting on behalf of? However, Gu Zi had asked Grandma Gao to help investigate Teacher Zhou, and she believed that there would be results soon. She didn’t want to think about this matter for now because it made her feel uncomfortable.

With a firm tone, Gu Zi told Su Li, “You have the ability to turn negative situations into motivation for self-improvement. I am proud of you for that. And I must say, your entrance exam scores were excellent, not at all lacking. Consider this, you were placed in class B, which is only second to class A. You are already doing great, you just need to be even better.”

Upon hearing these words, Su Li paused his writing, and turned to look at his mother, his eyes brimming with tears. “Mother, I will definitely become better!” he vowed.

Gu Zi naturally believed in him and was delighted to see his confident demeanor.

After tutoring Su Li, she went to prepare dinner. Su Shen had called home earlier, announcing his return for dinner. She cooked an extra half cup of rice.

As she washed the rice, Gu Zi looked at the grains and a smile tugged at the corner of her mouth. Previously, if Su Shen decided to come home on a whim, she would have to cook an extra full cup of rice. Now, it was only half.

This change was due to her balanced nutritional meal planning. Once people start paying attention to balanced nutrition, their food intake naturally decreases, which is healthier for the body.

In the past, Su Shen was not particular about his food. He would eat whatever others cooked. Even when he cooked for himself, he would opt for convenience, boiling noodles and some vegetables, or cooking a lot of rice to fill his stomach – a typical rough-and-ready bachelor’s lifestyle.

However, now, Su Shen’s skin had noticeably become more supple. Looking around her home, seeing the men and the child all well taken care of, she felt a sense of accomplishment. She was content. Who said a housewife doesn’t contribute? Gu Zi felt that her contributions as a housewife in the countryside over the past few months were significant!

After setting the rice to steam, Gu Zi began to prepare the meat and vegetables. Just as she finished, she heard Su Li and Gao Ming calling out. She left the kitchen to find that Grandma Gao had arrived.

Grandma Gao thanked Gu Zi, “Your recipe is truly miraculous. After drinking that soup, my fever subsided in no time. Now, I feel so much lighter! Oh, here, this is for you. It’s the information you asked for.”

Grandma Gao handed an envelope to Gu Zi. Gu Zi naturally knew it contained information about Teacher Zhou. She accepted it with a smile, understanding the unspoken gratitude. There was no better thank you gift than this.
