However, he came forward to discuss the brand and style of the car with Xu Manman.
"This is a second-hand women's bicycle, a 26 Phoenix."
The second sister Cai Mei was moved when she heard this, "Manman, where did you find it? Do they have any second-hand ones like this?" She couldn't afford a new one, and a second-hand one didn't require a ticket and was cheaper. If she could find one, she could also buy one.
Xu Manman shook her head. "No, I just happened to come across someone moving. There were two cars in total, one for me and one for my cousin. I don't know of any other channels."
After hearing Xu Manman's reply, although Cai Mei was a little disappointed, she didn't ask any other questions.
But when the fifth brother, Yang Yang, came back and heard that Xu Manman had bought a second-hand bicycle, he was particularly excited. "Manman, one is enough for you and your cousin, so give me the other one. Don't worry, I will definitely pay you back."
Xu Manman was speechless as she looked at Yang Yang, who was full of confidence. She seemed to see the shadow of Li Min, the educated youth in her.
Xu Manman gently but firmly refused, "Sorry, no."
Not getting the answer he wanted, Yang Yang's face immediately fell, "You and your eldest cousin usually spend time together, one bicycle is more than enough for you, two would be a bit of a waste of resources.
If you're worried about what your brother might think, I can speak for you. I believe he's a gentleman and wouldn't refuse to help a lady."
Xu Manman felt more and more annoyed when she kept calling him "help" and "gentleman".
She put away her smile and said, "I paid for it, so how to distribute the bikes is my business. I don't think it's a waste of resources for each of us to have a second-hand bike. My cousin and I are independent people, and we each have our own things to do. I bought two bikes based on our current needs. I believe that the bikes can be fully utilized in our hands."
Besides, it's not like my cousin is a good person and would unconditionally agree to any unreasonable request. She had never been fooled by moral blackmail since her last life.
Yang Yang widened her eyes. She really didn’t expect Xu Manman to talk to her like this. “But…but…” She said “but” for a long time but didn’t say the rest of the words.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the dormitory was a little stagnant.
It was the third brother who came out to smooth things over. "Fifth brother, I have to say something to you. You know what I've been doing selling tables these days. Business is all about mutual consent. How can you force someone to buy something like this? Sixth brother bought two cars because he needed them. You're coming in and asking for one. That's not how it's done!"
Now the third and fifth brothers are together all day, so Yang Yang can still hear what the third brother says, and he didn't say anything for a while.
The third brother, Wang Zhen, turned to Xu Manman and said, "Sixth brother, Fifth brother really needs it. I spoke a little hastily at the moment, so don't take it to heart. Actually, if I wasn't so pregnant and it was inconvenient here, I would also like to get a bicycle to ride. It would be so convenient to go to class. Can you help me ask for help with your connections? The money is easy to negotiate."
Although he slapped Yang Yang first, in fact, he could tell the closeness of the relationship at a glance.
Xu Manman didn't have any opinion about Wang Zhen for the time being. Her expression softened, and she brought up what she had said to her uncle and second brother before, "I just happened to run into them today when I was out shopping. The family had to move for work and couldn't take them with them. They only had these two at home, and no other ones."
Wang Zhen nodded and said, "This kind of thing is hard to come by. There's nothing we can do if we don't come across it. We can't buy a second-hand one, so we can save some money and buy a new one. I'll ask your brother-in-law to help inquire about the bicycle ticket." The latter part was said to Yang Yang.
Wang Zhen gave him a way out, and Yang Wang came down quickly. Facing Xu Manman, he returned to his previous heartless attitude.
"Youngest, I'm sorry. I didn't think the problem through." Yang Yang apologized to Xu Manman with a smile and gave her a handful of fruit candy.
Xu Manman accepted the candy. She usually gave snacks to the people in the dormitory, so this little candy was nothing. However, she planned to keep a distance from Yang Yang in the future. It would be best if she could go to school as a day student and move out next semester.
Because of Yang Yang's apology, the dormitory seemed to have returned to its former harmony. Xu Manman knew that this was just the beginning. Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. There are six women living in this small room. It seems that there is no big conflict now, but who knows what will happen over time. Moreover, she was not good at speaking in a roundabout way in her previous life, and she didn't know when she offended someone.
