Chapter 222 One should know right from wrong.
"Exactly, one should know right from wrong!"
"Look at her, does she look like she knows what's good for her?" Several security guards complained to Xu Shanshan again.
In an instant, only a few words surrounded Xu Shanshan's head: "Ungrateful, ungrateful..."
Xu Shanshan didn't know how she left the restaurant or how she got back to the alley.
When she returned, Wang Qianqian was lying in bed, leisurely eating grapes.
Seeing her return, he was quite surprised, "Mom, why are you back so early today?"
Xu Shanshan looked at the messy table, the messy sink, and the sheets stained with fresh grape juice under Wang Qianqian, which she had made neatly when she left home that morning.
The injustices she had suffered outside all day finally erupted at this moment: "Get out of here! Get out!"
"Get out! I don't have a daughter like you. Get out of here right now."
"Get out!" she said, waving her hand and knocking over the lunchbox on the table.
The soup from the wontons was still left in the lunchbox, and it instantly spilled all over the ground beneath my feet.
Wang Qianqian had been all smiles at her, but now she was stunned by the scolding. She sat up blankly, her face full of confusion. "Mom, what's wrong?"
He cursed inwardly: Get out? Is this your house? You think I can just get out?
Xu Shanshan no longer wanted to explain to her. In the days since Wang Qianqian came back, she had already figured it out. Wang Qianqian was still the same Wang Qianqian as before; she had never changed.
She's still the same lazy and greedy girl she always was.
For the first two days after I came back, I went out to find work every day and seemed very enthusiastic.
But after searching for so long, I still haven't found a decent job.
When Xu Shanshan got off her early shift, she would always stay at home in bed, so Xu Shanshan suspected that she hadn't gone out at all afterward.
He just lies at home, and he has to ask her for money for food and drink.
He always says, "Mom, I've run out of money," and he always says, "Mom, I've run out of money."
In less than a month, she has already given her twenty yuan. How much does she earn in a month of hard work?
Xu Shanshan could have tolerated it before, but after so many things happened today, she simply couldn't bear it anymore.
So she reiterated her stance: "Get out of here, right now!"
Seeing that she couldn't reason with her, Wang Qianqian stopped pretending and simply crossed her arms, saying, "Get lost?"
Why should I leave?
Xu Shanshan's rage lessened somewhat.
Wang Qianqian continued to lay out the facts, "Please, this is my parents' house. I'm their biological daughter. It's normal for me to live here. Who do you think you are?"
"Are you my dad's lover or his mistress?" Wang Qianqian said, then covered her mouth and laughed exaggeratedly. "Haha, neither, right?"
"After all, my dad would rather find a man than touch a single hair on your head."
"It's just that stupid man, Wen Changyu, who's so single-minded and thinks you're so good."
"If it were another man, he'd rather poke a hole in the ground than touch you. Don't you think you're shameless?"
"You're neither a lover nor a mistress, how dare you kick me, your own daughter, out?"
The color drained from Xu Shanshan's face at that moment. She opened her mouth, making hoarse sounds in her throat, but couldn't utter a single syllable.
Wang Qianqian thought her appearance was quite frightening, so she said, "If you've had a bad day outside, don't take it out on me. I don't owe you anything."
“I didn’t say anything to you about living in this house, but you’re actually kicking me out.”
"If you ask me, my dad is the one who sees things clearly. He saw long ago that you were a heartless woman, but he just didn't fall for you. Otherwise, it would have been my dad who was being taken advantage of all these years."
"I can't stand you anymore. If you want to leave, then leave by yourself."
"But you'd better hurry up and move out today, or I'll start charging you rent."
After saying this, Wang Qianqian prepared to lie back down on the bed, but as soon as she turned around, Xu Shanshan, who was standing there, collapsed to the ground with a "thud".
"Hey, hey, don't pretend!"
"Get up!"
When Xu Shanshan woke up again, it was already evening.
Wang Qianqian still had some humanity; after she fainted, she helped her to bed instead of leaving her lying on the floor.
When I got up, Wang Qianqian was eating the wontons she had bought, muttering, "It would be so nice to have a TV, this is so boring."
As she spoke, she began to look around the room.
Xu Shanshan felt a sudden tightness in her heart when she looked into her eyes.
Sure enough, Wang Qianqian started muttering, "I wonder how much valuable stuff Xu Shanshan still has. Selling it all should be enough to buy a TV, right?"
After she finished speaking, she turned back.
Xu Shanshan immediately closed her eyes.
Wang Qianqian muttered again, "That's strange, why isn't he awake yet?"
Although she found it strange that Xu Shanshan hadn't woken up yet, Wang Qianqian didn't bother with her anymore.
Xu Shanshan lay on the bed with her eyes closed, knowing she couldn't stay there any longer, because Wang Qianqian was still counting on her to support her.
Xu Shanshan didn't fall asleep again after that, and stayed up until Wang Qianqian fell asleep. Around 3 a.m., when Wang Qianqian was in the deepest sleep, she got up, found the watches she had hidden, put them in her pocket, and went out when it was just getting light outside.
She sat by the roadside and ate a bowl of wontons. When the sun rose, she picked up her bag and got up.
Finally, I went to a pawn shop that buys secondhand watches and took all of them there.
After yesterday's experience, Xu Shanshan suddenly realized that people without money have no self-respect.
So self-esteem seems to be far less important than money.
and……
Her self-righteousness about her background and nobility seemed to go unnoticed.
Having come to terms with these things, Xu Shanshan felt more relaxed and less tense.
Combined with her outfit, even though it was an old piece from previous years, the quality of good clothes was vastly different from ordinary clothes, both in terms of texture and cut.
Anyone in the secondhand business can tell at a glance that this person was once in power.
Those of them who are in business always believe in leaving room for maneuver, so they were very polite to Xu Shanshan.
The one who spoke was, "Big sister, what would you like to see?"
Xu Shanshan clutched her bag. "I'm not looking at anything, I just want to... sell some things," she said, taking out a watch from a velvet box. "Do you buy watches like this here?"
The shop owner opened it and immediately recognized its value, so he smiled and said, "Ma'am, you know our line of work, right?"
Before Xu Shanshan could even ask questions, the shop owner smiled and said, "I can't offer an expensive price!"
The boss was telling Xu Shanshan that he wasn't deliberately trying to scam her, but that this was just the market price, and she should think it through before selling.
If you later turn the tables and feel that we bullied you, there's no need to worry.
Xu Shanshan nodded. "How much do you think this watch is worth?"
The shop owner glanced at Xu Shanshan and said, "I think you're an honest person, so I won't overcharge you." The shop owner held up his hand and made an "eight" sign.
"Eighty, can you accept that, eldest sister?"
"Eight..." Her watch cost over five hundred yuan when she bought it.
This... is too much of a discount.
