Chapter 300 Nian Nian Didn't Spend Money

By spending other people's money, you can save a lot of money for yourself.

During winter break, while Gu Suixing was back in City A, Lu Nian begged her grandparents to take her to a toy mall and bought more than a dozen Barbie doll sets with her saved allowance.

The granddaughter is still young, and the two elderly people don't give her much pocket money, just enough for a few snacks every day. They see her eating and drinking almost every day, and she's gained quite a bit of weight in the past six months. They never expected that their granddaughter could save so much money.

Grandpa Lu asked, "Didn't Niannian spend her allowance on snacks? How did she manage to save so much?"

Lu Nian: "Xingbao bought all the snacks; Nian Nian didn't spend any money."

The two elderly people: "..."

So my granddaughter just ate and drank for free.

Knowing that the boy next door had recently become very fond of watching Journey to the West, Grandpa Lu gave him a plastic golden cudgel and some other small toys that boys like to play with when he left.

Back home, Lu Nian asked her grandparents to give her a small room to use as a playroom. The two grandparents readily agreed. It was a two-story villa, and only the three of them lived there; they didn't have any servants. They were more than willing to give up a room, or even an entire floor, for their granddaughter.

After lunch, Lu Nian picked out the largest Barbie doll from the dozen or so sets, dressed it in a pretty dress, and took it out to show it off.

There were quite a few children in the neighborhood, many of whom were around the same age as Lu Nian. Lu Nian had promised some of her close friends yesterday that she would bring them pretty Barbie dolls to see today. When Lu Nian arrived at the small apartment, she found them already waiting there.

Besides the little girls, there were also a few boys playing here, including Little Fatty.

Little Fatty was the first to see Lu Nian and excitedly shouted, "Sister!"

Lu Nian paused, then slowly said, "You can't call me 'sister.' We've severed our sibling relationship."

On the day they severed their sibling relationship, they invited many people to witness it.

"Okay," Little Fatty said, looking aggrieved.

So what if Gu Suixing has more pocket money than him? He'll earn lots and lots of money when he grows up.

Several little girls who were playing on the climbing ladder saw Lu Nian arrive and immediately went to greet him.

Wow, what a huge Barbie doll!

"Lu Nian, why didn't you braid her hair?"

Despite her young age, Lu Nian already had her own sense of aesthetics, and said in a serious tone, "This dress looks better with my hair down."

Little Fatty leaned over for a look and said, "What's so interesting about this thing? It's not as good as the gun I have. It's cool and can fire bullets."

Another boy said, "My remote control car is fun too."

“I brought toys too, why don’t we take turns playing with them?”

The boys talked and then went to the side to exchange toys and play.

The girls were still staring at the Barbie doll in Lu Nian's hand.

Does it have other dresses?

"Yes, I have more than a dozen sets," Lu Nian said. "I also have many other Barbie dolls. Once my grandparents have finished setting up the toy room, you can come to my house to play."

Several little girls were filled with envy when they saw that she not only had a really beautiful Barbie doll, but also more than a dozen sets of pretty clothes for the Barbie doll, and that she would have her own toy room in the future.

They also have Barbie dolls, but they don't have such pretty clothes, and they don't have a toy room of their own at home.

One of the little girls said, "I wish my mom and dad only had me as their child."

Another girl said, "I'm the only child in my family, and I don't have any."

Seeing that they all envied her, Lu Nian felt her vanity was greatly satisfied and her eyes crinkled with joy.

The little girl with a ponytail and a black mole the size of a bean under her left eye suddenly snorted, "So what if she has Barbie dolls and a toy room? She doesn't have a mom and dad!"

The chattering little girls quieted down and all looked at Lu Nian.

The little girl who spoke was named Zhao Xiaoli. She wasn't invited by Lu Nian; she came on her own.

The two children didn't get along because Zhao Xiaoli wanted to be friends with Gu Suixing, but Gu Suixing ignored her and only played with Lu Nian. In addition, Lu Nian always had many beautiful new dresses and hair accessories, which made Zhao Xiaoli jealous, and she couldn't stand her at all.

Seeing that everyone was looking at Lu Nian, Zhao Xiaoli said loudly again, "Only bad children get abandoned by their parents. Lu Nian is a bad child, so her parents don't want her anymore."

Even the boys playing nearby looked at Lu Nian.

Lu Nian frowned.

"Nonsense!" Little Fatty stood up. "Lu Niancai isn't a bad kid!"

Zhao Xiaoli raised her chin. "Then tell me, why did Lu Nian's parents abandon her?"

Little Fatty couldn't speak and looked at Lu Nian anxiously.

The children in the neighborhood only know that Lu Nian has never had a father or mother since she was a child, but they don't know where her father and mother went or why they abandoned Lu Nian.

In fact, not only did the other children not know the answer, but Lu Nian herself couldn't answer the question either.

But Lu Nian didn't want the other children to laugh at her, so she said, "Who says children have to have parents? Even Sun Wukong didn't have parents."

Little Fatty immediately chimed in, "Exactly! Sun Wukong sprang from a stone, and he didn't have a father or mother, but he was incredibly powerful, more powerful than many people. Lu Nian might have also sprang from a stone, and she's much cuter than you."

Zhao Xiaoli has been vain since she was a child and can't stand it when people say that someone is prettier than her, especially if that person is Lu Nian. She immediately jumped up and said, "My mother says that TV is all lies!"

Little Fatty made a face at her and said, "Your mom even praised you for being pretty, so she's lying too."

Unable to argue with Xiao Pang, Zhao Xiaoli pouted and burst into tears, pointing at everyone and saying, "I'm going back to tell my mom that you bullied me!"

The other innocent children, who hadn't said or done anything, looked at each other in bewilderment.

Lu Nian asked the other little girls, "Do you want to come to my house to see Barbie dolls?"

A few of the little girls were tempted. "Is it okay?"

Lu Nian smiled sweetly and said, "Of course you can."

Little Fatty came over again, "Lu Nian, I want to go too."

Immediately, a little girl said, "Didn't you say Barbie dolls aren't pretty? What are you doing here?"

"I..." Little Fatty opened his mouth. He really didn't know what he could see there.

Lu Nian took a lollipop out of her pocket and put it in the little fat boy's hand. "Thank you for speaking up for me earlier."

The chubby boy was flattered and said, "No, you're welcome..."

Lu Nian took the little girls home and showed them her new Barbie dolls. When they left, Lu Nian also gave each of them a Barbie doll.

She bought a total of fifteen Barbie doll sets, gave away four, and still has eleven left.

The little girl was very happy to receive the gift, and secretly decided that she would never play with Zhao Xiaoli again.

After everyone left, Grandma Lu asked her granddaughter with a smile, "Niannian really likes these Barbie dolls, how could you bear to give them away to other children?"

Lu Nian turned to look at her grandmother, and suddenly her eyes reddened, tears streaming down her face.

"Grandma, why doesn't Niannian have a mom and dad? Is it because Niannian isn't good enough?"
