Last night, Teacher Fan arranged for Min'er and Zhao Xiaoyue to stay together, and she was so happy that she couldn't sleep all night.
After the three girls finished showering, they lay on the bed. Min'er was wearing a faded shirt that looked like a gift from someone else and didn't fit her well.
The girl didn't seem to care at all; she just looked shy and timid.
Zhao Xiaoyue turned her face and said, "I'll give you a pair of pajamas, do you want them? They're new."
Lan Caihe interjected, "She doesn't want them. The clothes I gave her were all new, but she still didn't want them. Humph!"
Min'er covered her cheeks, looking embarrassed, and asked, "May I have it?"
Zhao Xiaoyue's eyes crinkled with laughter. "It was a gift from the bottom of my heart."
Min'er nodded, "Yes, I want it!"
Zhao Xiaoyue gives off a big sister vibe that makes people feel incredibly safe and secure.
Lan Caihe became anxious, "Hey, why didn't you take those clothes when I told you I was giving them to you the first day you came to my house? I was giving them to you sincerely!"
Min'er said shyly, "I wasn't familiar with you back then, so I didn't dare to ask for it."
As Zhao Xiaoyue watched Min'er answer Lan Caihe's question, it really sounded like Lin Daiyu answering Grandmother Jia's question.
He couldn't help but chuckle, "Hahahaha."
The two women looked at the person who was laughing at the same time. Lan Caihe asked sincerely, "Did we make a fool of ourselves? You're laughing so hard you're almost out of breath!"
Zhao Xiaoyue wiped away the tears of laughter, "What books has Min'er been reading lately?"
Min'er answered blankly, "Zizhi Tongjian, and also doing exams."
Zhao Xiaoyue: "Hahahaha..."
Lan Caihe: "Hahahaha..."
“No, no,” Lan Caihe said with a smile, “You should say, ‘You’ve only just finished reading the Four Books. What books have the other sisters been reading?’”
After saying that, he laughed again and again.
Min'er laughed too. She understood now that they were making fun of her for being like Lin Daiyu.
So I casually asked, "What kind of books did you sisters study?"
She even glanced at the two of them, mimicking Daiyu's manner.
Oh my, hahaha, it looks even more like it!
Lan Caihe laughed until her stomach hurt. It took them a long time to stop laughing. "We're about the same height, and I also have a few clothes that still have their tags on. You'd better take them this time, Lin Meimei!"
Min'er was very grateful to them, and without being coy, she accepted the gift.
Min'er knew they meant well, and Xiaoyue's frank question about whether she wanted it made her feel their goodwill.
She felt lucky.
Zhao Xiaoyue's clothes were obtained by Hou Taotao from Liang Cheng, while Lan Caihe gave her two relatively inexpensive tops.
She understands families with children suffering from allergies; expensive things would only harm her. Only cheap, worthless things like these are suitable for her.
She also had someone secretly follow Min'er and discovered that all the money Min'er earned as a part-time worker was taken by her alcoholic father and could never reach her.
The girls happily drifted off to sleep.
The next day, Min'er woke up very early because the bed was too soft and she was uncomfortable sleeping in it.
I quietly got out of bed, washed up, and went downstairs to get them breakfast.
Zhao Xiaoyue woke up when Min'er woke up and got out of bed. She just wanted to stay in bed and didn't get up.
This guesthouse provides breakfast, which is a specialty of Kyoto. Although those who have tried it say it's not quite authentic, it's free.
When Lan Caihe woke up and didn't see Min'er, she asked, "Where is she?"
Zhao Xiaoyue brushed her teeth and mumbled, "Go get us breakfast!"
"oh!"
"Xiaoyue, if we give Min'er clothes, will people say we're bullying her? Will people think we're deliberately making things difficult for Min'er because we're rich?"
Zhao Xiaoyue rolled her eyes. "Then why do you think Min'er is working part-time on her own at such a young age?"
"Of course she needs the money!"
"Then why does she need money?"
Lan Caihe leaned against the sink and said, "Nonsense, who doesn't want money?"
Zhao Xiaoyue told her, "Children who are loved by their fathers and mothers often have a strong sense of self-esteem and are sometimes pretentious. This just shows that their parents spoil them at home, and that's why they have all sorts of problems. In families where the parents are not on good terms or the father is not kind and the mother is not loving, the children will be very sensible and understanding. Their only purpose is to survive."
Zhao Xiaoyue washed her face. "Of course, that's one situation. There are all sorts of wonders in this world."
Lan Caihe nodded, "Then let whoever wants to say it, say it."
She glanced at the clock. "Why isn't Min'er up yet? It's almost time for the assembly."
Zhao Xiaoyue frowned. "You go wash up, I'll go downstairs to check on things."
As soon as Zhao Xiaoyue arrived in the hall, she heard Min'er's voice.
"What are you doing? Let me go! I'm calling the police! Let me go! Help!"
Then there was a man's voice, "Our boss is doing you a favor by taking a liking to you, so don't push your luck."
As Zhao Xiaoyue quickly walked down the stairs, she saw Min'er being pulled away by a man.
Zhao Xiaoyue rushed forward and subdued the man in a few moves.
The man with his hands tied behind his back yelled, "Who is it? Who's got a death wish, daring to hit your dog, Master Zhu? Don't they want to live?!"
Zhao Xiaoyue quickly dislocated the man's arm with a few "cracks," then kicked him hard in the shin, causing the man on the ground to experience nerve pain from his lower leg all the way to his brain.
Suddenly, a cry of "Ah!!!" rang out, and the man called Gouzhu twisted up on the ground like a maggot.
Screams continued to fill the air before Zhao Xiaoyue finally withdrew her murderous aura. The fierce and cold look on her face softened as she turned to comfort Min'er.
The girl stared blankly at him, as if she were terrified.
"Min'er? Are you alright? How are you? Did he hurt you?"
