Time Space: the Male Villain Has the Ability To Read Minds Chapter 91: Ding Qiang’s Crazy Behavior
Pei Tiantian then remembered that Xing Weigang in the novel did indeed seem to have a wife who was always bedridden.
It seemed that this was due to the incurable strange illness.
Pei Tiantian pondered for a moment.
“Editor-in-Chief, what was Auntie doing before she first fell ill?”
“She did nothing as usual, just came home from work as usual, but that day she ate some nuts and grapes, and then she fell ill that night.”
Pei Tiantian’s eyes kept shifting.
She was incessantly thirsty, needed to drink water constantly, her face was flushed, and she was restless.
This could easily be misdiagnosed as hysteria, but according to Xing Weigang, it wasn’t at all.
Pei Tiantian recalled the cases she had seen and suddenly had a clue. She smiled: “I should know what the illness is.”
Pei Tiantian went back to the house and wrote down a prescription, handing it to Xing Weigang.
Xing Weigang took the prescription and saw that it contained: Trichosanthes kirilowii, oyster shell, and lily bulb.
“Just these few herbs?” Xing Weigang couldn’t help but ask.
“Yes, actually, Auntie probably has lily disease. The nuts she ate before the onset of the illness were considered ‘heaty’ foods, so it’s likely those nuts that caused the disease. If we decoct these herbs into a soup and drink it daily, Auntie should recover quickly,”
Pei Tiantian said, emphasizing each word.
“Okay, I believe you,”
Xing Weigang nodded, looking into Pei Tiantian’s earnest, grape-like eyes.
He had a strong intuition that Pei Tiantian was right.
Xing Weigang returned to the city the next day to attend to work, but also said he would continue to keep in touch with Pei Tiantian through letters.
Pei Tiantian agreed.
Early that morning, Pei Tiantian added a few extra pounds of vegetables to the produce she sold to Xie Jiagui.
Since Xie Jiagui wouldn’t accept payment for their meals, she could only send him more vegetables in the future.
Looking at the vibrant, rapidly growing vegetables in her space, Pei Tiantian smiled contentedly. She had more vegetables in her space than she could use.
Upon arriving at school, before class, Gu Rong, as the new math representative, was called to Ma Xiangdong’s office early in the morning to receive instructions.
Pei Tiantian, sitting at her desk, was still organizing Pei Zihao and Pei Tianyu’s test papers.
She copied all the types of questions they frequently got wrong from their previous tests into a notebook, intending to provide targeted tutoring based on these types.
After finishing this, Pei Tiantian lazily lay down on her desk and yawned several times.
Suddenly, a contemptuous voice rang out above Pei Tiantian’s head, “You’re doing first-grade tests? Can you even understand our fifth-grade textbook?”
Ding Qiang glanced at the tests on her desk and noticed that the one on top was from first grade.
Pei Tiantian looked up and realized that it was Ding Qiang who had spoken to her.
She later learned that Ding Qiang was the former math representative, and only then did she understand why Ding Qiang had been so inexplicably hostile towards Gu Rong.
Pei Tiantian didn’t like Ding Qiang at all, and she was too lazy to explain herself to him, simply saying, “What’s it to you?”
Ding Qiang’s eyes flashed with anger.
He could tolerate Gu Rong, but this five-year-old girl, Pei Tiantian, dared to give him the cold shoulder.
Suddenly, Ding Qiang reached out and snatched Pei Tiantian’s math workbook from her desk.
“Why did you take my workbook?”
Pei Tiantian looked at him in astonishment, seemingly not expecting Ding Qiang to commit such a robbery.
“Let me check if you finished yesterday’s homework.” Ding Qiang said matter-of-factly.
He opened the notebook and glanced at it. To his surprise, Pei Tiantian had gotten all the math problems Ma Xiangdong had assigned yesterday right.
Even the last problem, which was beyond the curriculum, was correct.
Ding Qiang couldn’t believe it.
How could Pei Tiantian be so good at math?
Every time he saw this lazy girl, nine times out of ten she was sleeping at her desk. She was obviously the kind of person who loved to slack off and didn’t like to study.
“But now the math class representative is Brother Gu Rong, so my math homework isn’t your responsibility, is it?” Pei Tiantian said.
Ding Qiang said arrogantly, “I’m the class monitor and the academic representative. How can it not be my responsibility? I’m in charge of everything in the class, including you! Let me tell you, if you’re only learning first-grade material, then I have reason to suspect that you’ve copied all your math homework!”
Pei Tiantian: “…”
She had never seen a child who loved to abuse their authority like this.
Seeing Pei Tiantian remain silent, Ding Qiang assumed he was right and raised his chin even higher, whispering, “Don’t think I don’t know. My aunt told me that your family bribed the principal to let you two skip a grade and join our class.”
Pei Tiantian found it amusing. She had only ever heard of bribing people to get into prestigious schools, never about bribing people to skip a grade.
Anyone with a normal IQ wouldn’t believe that.
Pei Tiantian retorted, “Class monitor, have you forgotten that you got that math problem wrong yesterday, while Gu Rong got it right? If we really bribed our way to a grade, how come you can’t even beat a student who bribed his way in?”
“That was just luck. What’s so great about it? He only got one question right! I’ve always been number one in the class. Let Gu Rong try to get number one first!”
Ding Qiang was furious at the thought of yesterday, muttering under his breath before angrily throwing his math notebook on the ground and leaving.
Pei Tiantian frowned, picked up her notebook, and rolled her eyes at Ding Qiang.
“Crazy.”
After Gu Rong returned from the office, Pei Tiantian told him what had just happened.
Pei Tiantian muttered softly, “Brother Gu Rong, do you think this guy is crazy?”
Gu Rong’s gaze towards Ding Qiang instantly turned cold.
He wrote on the paper, “Since that’s the case, then get first place.”
Pei Tiantian looked at this line and secretly smiled.
That’s right, what’s a few words? This is the most effective way to hurt someone.
Wasn’t Ding Qiang always so proud of being number one in the class?
They’d taken away his proudest achievement; let’s see how he can still act arrogantly in class now.
Pei Tiantian unconsciously hummed a song.
She was very vengeful.
As long as she and the villainous boss were around, Ding Qiang wouldn’t even be able to reach second place, let alone first.
After school at noon, Pei Tiantian and Gu Rong told Tao Jing that from now on, they would eat lunch at Xie Jiagui’s restaurant.
Tao Jing nodded in relief upon learning that Xie Jiagui’s restaurant was not far from the school.
Because it was lunchtime, Xie Jiagui’s restaurant was packed with people, including many middle school students and factory workers from the nearby area.
Xie Jiagui and his group were incredibly busy in the restaurant, barely having time to breathe.
Seeing Gu Rong and Pei Tiantian arrive, Zhou Wanhong led them to the back of the restaurant.
