Chapter 137: Can't Let Her Succeed



When Hu Xiaoman woke up in the morning, she saw that Li Hongying, who lived diagonally across from her, had returned, which immediately cheered her up.

The man lowered his head and packed his things, apparently preparing to leave.

There was a woman in her forties standing nearby, her eyes red as she said, angrily, "I've supported you for so many years, and now you come and cause me trouble! You're really embarrassing me!"

When Li Hongying was admitted to Beijing University, it brought a lot of honor to their family, but now it has brought a lot of negative impact to their family.

It’s so embarrassing that a college student turned into a sandman and was asked to drop out of school!

Li Hongying still said nothing and packed her luggage silently.

Hu Xiaoman was a little surprised. Logically speaking, shouldn't Li Hongying be imprisoned and sentenced? Why was she released?

After everyone had left, Liu Xiangyun came back after a while.

She hummed a little tune and looked at herself in a small mirror.

Hu Xiaoman was puzzled by her boastful expression. Wasn't she afraid at all? What if Li Hongying came looking for trouble again? Wouldn't Liu Xiangyun be okay?

She suddenly noticed that the man was wearing a plaid hairpin on his head. It was quite expensive in the department store.

It’s not something to eat or drink, and it’s not even clothing, yet it’s sold for five dollars each!

I didn't realize that Liu Xiangyun, who is usually frugal, would actually spend money to buy this thing.

"Oh, you bought a new hairpin. How much is it?" Yang Junhua looked at the hairpin, which was really nice.

Liu Xiangyun stiffened her neck and said, "That's five yuan each!"

These five dollars are enough for a frugal student's living expenses for a month.

It's a big deal to spend five dollars on a hairpin.

"What?! Five dollars? This...this thing costs five dollars?" Yang Junhua looked incredulous.

She had no idea what it was like to spend five dollars on something like this!

Five dollars can buy a pair of ordinary cloth shoes, but you can't spend five dollars on this broken hairpin no matter what you buy!

Liu Xiangyun felt very proud when she saw her surprised expression.

"Alas... our youth is only a few years long, why not dress ourselves up?" She said while looking in the mirror.

Yes, who doesn’t want to dress up if they have the conditions?

Yang Junhua curled his lips. "Yesterday you said you only had four dollars this month, so why did you spend five dollars on hairpins today? Do you have nothing else to do besides eating?"

She looked Liu Xiangyun up and down. Could it be that this person wanted to take advantage of her things for the next half month?

Did she really think so when she bought some new soap and toilet paper yesterday?

Thinking of this, Yang Junhua looked at the person opposite him vigilantly.

We must not let her succeed!

When Liu Xiangyun saw her like that, she knew what this person was thinking. This time, without Li Hongying, the two of them were the closest.

She rolled her eyes and said, "Why, can't I have a little savings? I don't need your stuff, you're such a stingy person."

After being exposed, Yang Junhua was not embarrassed, but relieved. "You are the only one who doesn't use my things. Even if you steal or rob, it has nothing to do with me."

"Who are you talking about stealing and robbing?" Liu Xiangyun was unhappy.

It’s no wonder she’s unwilling. Most people of this age are very concerned about their reputation and have a very strong sense of self-esteem.

So if you are falsely accused, you will definitely have an extreme reaction.

Yang Junhua didn't say that she stole it, and the two of them started arguing.

While they were arguing, Hu Xiaoman packed up her things and went out with her bag.

You guys can do whatever you want, she has to go to school.

She hadn't come for several days in a row, and the instructor was urging her to come.

After two classes, Hu Xiaoman felt that he was a little behind. Although he didn't reach the point where he couldn't understand, he had to take extra classes.

After class, she went straight to the library with her bag on her back. After all, there were many books and it was quiet there.

Those two guys in the dormitory are chattering all the time. I definitely can’t concentrate on my studies. I might as well not go back.

Even this big playground is much quieter than the dormitory.

Hu Xiaoman stayed in the library until lunchtime, but did not go to the cafeteria. Instead, he carried his bag and went to the state-owned restaurant opposite the school.

I have money and tickets, so why should I care about money when it comes to eating and drinking?

She came to the window. There were quite a few people there at that time, mostly teachers, students, parents and the like.

Looking at today's supply, she thought for a moment and ordered a serving of stewed potatoes and pork ribs, and a bowl of rice.

Oh, this is how life is!

The food in the cafeteria is not bad, but it is not as delicious as the food in the restaurant.

So, Hu Xiaoman would come over from time to time to clear his mouth.

Going to the cafeteria to eat with others is just to blend in with the crowd.

While waiting for the food, Hu Xiaoman saw Liu Xiangyun come in.

There were two female classmates following her, who were praising Liu Xiangyun.

Something like "Your hair is so smooth, it looks great with this hairpin."

And "This hairpin should only be worn by beautiful people."

Tsk tsk tsk…

He is still young but has not learned his lesson. He only knows how to flatter others all day long.

If these people just rely on flattery after graduation, they can probably become small cadres or something.

"Give me some minced meat and tofu, and two steamed buns made of two-grain flour." Liu Xiangyun said happily to the window attendant, and then handed over the money.

This was her first time eating in a restaurant. Before, she had always stood at the door and watched others order food.

You know what, this dish feels really great.

"Classmate Liu, we haven't eaten yet." One of the female classmates asked for two steamed buns when she heard it. How could they share it with three people?

Liu Xiangyun looked at the two of them in surprise. "Did I tell you to eat? It's time for dinner, why are you following me instead of going to the cafeteria to eat?"

This is so strange. She didn't say she was treating us to a meal. This steamed bun made of two grams of flour is so expensive, why would she treat others to it?

Upon hearing this, the two female classmates blushed, but they didn't know what to say. They could only stomp their feet in anger and turn away.

What are you still doing here? There's no food to eat. If you go back too late, there will be no food in the cafeteria.

Liu Xiangyun rolled her eyes and then saw Hu Xiaoman sitting at the door.

"Oh, classmate Hu is here to eat too? What are you eating? Noodles with gravy?" She glanced at the supply price. A bowl of noodles with gravy cost two taels of food coupons, which was 15 cents.

Apart from this there are no cheap meals either.

Hu Xiaoman looked at her and asked, "Did you accept money from Li Hongying's family to release this person?"

Liu Xiangyun’s eyes suddenly widened!

She...how did she know.

Seeing the expression on her face, Hu Xiaoman knew that he had guessed right.

She had suspected this before. Liu Xiangyun didn't have that much money and lived a very frugal life. How could she suddenly be able to afford a five-dollar hairpin?

It’s not that she looks down on people, but she has always been a frugal person and rarely buys these things.

It is normal for Liu Xiangyun to buy a small shirt or a pair of shoes.

Suddenly having money, Li Hongying was released.

This made her think that they must have reached a settlement and were released only after paying money.
