The feast didn't last long, and Locke had just returned to Belvedere and parked his car in the garage when he saw a woman visiting, Mr. Solis's wife, Gabriel.

"Hello, Mrs. Solis." Locke closed the garage door and asked, "Is there anything please?" ”

"Uh~ That's it, Recently our family has had some difficulties, Solis's mother was knocked into the hospital, and Solis was also taken away by the FBI......"

Gabriel's tone was tinged with some embarrassment.

"It's nothing, I'm sure Mr. Solis will return home sooner or later." Locke reassured.

"I'm sure that's the same, but because Solis he's incarcerated now, the family's finances have taken a bit of a hit, and I've heard Susan say you're good at math and you've helped her get more tax refunds......"

Gabriel slurred her purpose.

Because some things were found out, Mr. Solis was investigated, and the family had no income, plus a lawyer, and bail money and everything that cost a lot of money, and she needed to survive alone.

Mr. Solis usually earns a lot, but he also spends a lot, especially Gabriel's favorite thing to do, is to take Mr. Solis's credit card and go to the luxury counter in the mall.

Their family's savings are limited, and they continue to encounter these problems, and her housewife friends can help very little, and Gabriel has to rely on her own to find a way.

Fortunately, at this time, Susan offered her a suggestion, which was to ask Locke for help, and also told her that Locke had helped her get a large tax refund.

Before, she couldn't have cared about it, but now that the successive changes in the family have caused big financial problems, she can only come to Locke to help audit it and see if she can save as much as possible.

"Mr. Solis is a friend of mine, and I would love to be able to help him."

Locke thought for a while and said, "I can't manage much about the lawsuit, but I can help you sort out your family's finances, and I hope it will have some effect." ”

What happened to Mr. Solis was actually participating in the squeezing of labor from third world countries.

On that basis, Locke would not have exonerated Mr. Solis, otherwise he would have spent money and used his connections to get Mr. Solis out.

In addition, it can help sort out their family's finances, and it won't take much time anyway.

"It's great, thank you very much." Gabrielle said happily.

"I've just come home, I still need to sort it out, you will bring the bill and everything later, don't miss anything, I'll help you take a look."

"Okay, I'll go back and prepare." Gabriel happily ran to her house.

Back at home, Peggy went back to her study and continued to work on the math problems assigned by Professor Gate, while Locke helped Gabriel, who was holding bits and pieces of various bills, sort out her finances.

Soon, Gabrielle left with these things and the hints Locke had put together, and Locke returned to his study.

"Did you solve it?" Seeing Peggy's expression, Locke knew.

"That's right." Peggy nodded, and said a number, the same as Locke's calculations.

"Let me see your manuscript paper." Locke said.

"No problem, let me see yours too." Peggy handed Locke his manuscript paper, then went to Locke's desk and picked it up.

"You're not doing the same thing as I do, but it seems to be easier." Peggy said after reading it.

"It was just a flash of inspiration." Locke said calmly, "I don't know how Sheldon's progress is?" ”

"Don't worry, as long as he solves it, he will definitely be eager to call and announce." Peggy was absolutely sure.

"You don't want to tell him about your unraveling?"

"Anyway, I'm only the second to unravel, as long as it's not the first, what's the difference between saying it and not saying it?"

A little more than an hour later, Dr. Hofstad's house.

"I figured it out, I'm the smartest person in the world." Little Sheldon happily jumped out of his chair and announced with a dance.

"Very good." Beverly immediately came to Sheldon's side and exclaimed, "Good job." ”

And Leonard, who heard Beverly praise Sheldon so much, had never been treated like this, and looked aggrieved.

"I'm going to call Peggy and tell him I'm the smartest person." After a moment of rejoicing, Sheldon said and came to the phone.

As soon as the phone was connected, little Sheldon couldn't help but raise his chin: "Peggy, tell you something, I've solved Dr. Gate's problem." ”

"So what?" Peggy's reply was a bit nonchalant.

Little Sheldon choked for a moment, then emphasized, "I said I solved it, I was the first, so I was the smartest." ”

"Really?" Peggy said a number in a flat tone, and suddenly Sheldon was stunned.

"You've solved it too?" Sheldon had rather he misheard.

"Just seventy-six minutes ago." Peggy sneered, "And Locke solved it earlier." ”

"What!" Little Sheldon called, "I don't believe it, you lied to me!" ”

"I know you called me and wanted to take the first place." Peggy said calmly, "But unfortunately, the first one to unravel is Locke, who has already told Dr. Gate, but you don't know it yet." ”

Little Sheldon was stunned for a moment: "Impossible, how can this be." ”

He couldn't accept that such a gap was solved before him, whether it was Locke or Peggy, didn't that mean that in a field like mathematics, which was a pure test of intelligence, he was the last of the three!

"No!" Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shout loudly.

"It doesn't look like things are going the way some people expected." Leonard, who had been secretly listening to the movement here, said leisurely.

The next moment, little Sheldon's face twitched, he hung up the phone directly, and ran towards the toilet on his feet.

"He's either crying or going to the toilet." Peggy, who hung up the phone, had a determined look on her face.

Locke chuckled, Peggy really knew Sheldon, or Sheldon was too easy to see through.

He and Peggy and Sheldon Jr. were not in the same school before, so the impact was not obvious.

But since being in a university, things have been different.

The courses reported by the three of them are highly overlapping, and it can be said that they don't see each other when they look down at school.

is not only suppressed by Locke, but there is a girl of the same age but faintly smarter than him next to him, which makes little Sheldon's pride and self-confidence hit repeatedly.

was originally full of conceit, but now it is crumbling and almost unable to maintain it.

If it weren't for the fact that little Sheldon was only eleven years old now, it was the time when he was malleable, I am afraid that his psychology would be directly distorted.
