My grandmother confidently declared, "Don't worry, I have a secret weapon. Your Third Brother will definitely get into college this time."
My father asked her, "Mom, which university can Third Brother get into?"
With a wave of her hand, my grandmother replied, "Tsinghua or Peking University—take your pick!"
They began to imagine the scene of my brother getting accepted into Tsinghua or Peking University.
"I wonder if it will be Tsinghua or Peking University that snatches him up. I think Tsinghua has a better chance since Third Brother is particularly good at physics and chemistry."
"Oh, if only he could be courted by both Tsinghua and Peking University at the same time! We could brag about how amazing our child is."
"Of course he can do it. Third Brother is so impressive; he has never let us down."
They were lost in their daydreams until my brother returned home, looking utterly dejected.
The first thing he said upon entering was, "Who touched my pencil case?"
He came back from the college entrance exam in a state of despair. His clothes were soaked with sweat, his face was pale, and his pupils were dilated.
As soon as he walked in, he confronted my mom, "Who touched my pencil case?"
My mom shook her head, "Neither Xiao Ran nor I went into your room."
Through gritted teeth, my brother retorted, "Besides you two, there’s no one else. You did this on purpose to sabotage me! I'm going to call the police!"
My mom trembled with anger and raised her hand to slap Cui Jian. "How can you talk like that? I’m your mother! Xiao Ran is your sister; why would we want to harm you?"
Cui Jian's expression darkened. "Who knows what you’re thinking? You just can’t stand to see me do well!"
Exhausted, my mom rubbed her temples and said, "Cui Jian, if you want to call the police, go ahead. But if you think you can hurt Xiao Ran, I won’t let you succeed."
Seeing my grandmother come out of the room, Cui Jian hurried over to her. "Grandma—"
He attempted to seek some comfort from his grandmother. Unfortunately, she only doused him with cold water. "Xiao Jian, how did you do on the exam? I left a note in your pencil case; you will definitely get into college."
Cui Jian's expression froze on his face. His complexion changed, and he slid down to the floor. "It's over, it's over..."
When my dad returned and saw this scene, he was taken aback. "What happened here?"
I smiled slightly. "Dad, you don't know yet? Grandma really embarrassed us today."
I recounted the events. My dad's expression shifted. "What?"
My brother cried out, "It's all your fault! If you hadn't put that note in my pencil case, how could I have been accused of cheating?"
Grandma held her head high and said, "I did it for your own good!"
I scoffed and added, "If you had studied well, Grandma wouldn't have done that. But look at you, trembling all over during the exam and turning in a blank paper. Grandma had no choice but to slip you a note."
My brother cried even harder. Grandma also began to cry, slapping her own face as she said, "It's all my fault, it's all my fault."
Dad glanced at Cui Jian, then at Grandma, and finally his gaze landed on me. I shrugged. "Don't look at me; I don't know anything."
Dad took a deep breath. "So what if it's cheating? It's not a big deal. Third Brother, your brother has connections in business."
My brother looked at Dad with shining eyes. "Really?"
Dad nodded. "Of course."
"And I just closed a big deal today. From now on, everything will be yours."
My brother cheered excitedly. I interrupted him, "Dad, since Grandma is so free, why not let her handle the client receptions?"
My dad paused for a moment before agreeing, "Alright. Mom, make sure to prepare well. Oh, and here’s ten thousand yuan for you to get ready."
Grandma took the ten thousand yuan, her eyes narrowing into slits with delight.
I continued, "Dad, Mom, you work so hard; how much do you earn in a year? Is it even three hundred thousand?"
My dad replied sternly, "That's adult business; you should mind your own."
I chuckled, "Dad, Mom, I can help you earn money now. Let me contribute a bit too."
