Xu's mother was fanning herself frantically with a fan when she returned to the dormitory and was startled to see Luo Linlin sitting there with her eyes swollen like walnuts.
When Luo Linlin saw them, she nodded weakly, then wiped away her tears and stopped crying.
"Linlin, what's wrong? Did something happen?"
Xu Manni followed her mother into the house and saw Luo Linlin. With a gentle smile, she asked softly.
She acted as if she was afraid of scaring people, and seemed quite understanding.
"Yes, young lady, if you have any difficulties, just tell us, and perhaps we can help you."
Xu's mother glanced at her daughter and roughly knew what she wanted to do, so she echoed her.
Luo Linlin felt somewhat uneasy in the face of the Xu family mother and daughter. She bit her lip, shook her head without saying a word, and unconsciously twisted the hem of their clothes.
Mother Xu shook her head inwardly. This country bumpkin is really no good. He doesn't even dare to say a word. Tsk tsk!
However, if she doesn't want to talk about it, then she doesn't have to; it's none of her business anyway.
Unfortunately, her daughter didn't think that way. Instead, she looked at Luo Linlin with a gentle and concerned expression.
Then he sincerely said, "We are roommates, so you can tell me if you have any difficulties. I will definitely help you if there is anything I can do to help."
She knew one thing from a young age: money is a good thing.
Money can make the devil turn the millstone, money can buy people's hearts, money is very important.
And she just happens to be rich!
Xu's mother wanted to remind her daughter not to be foolish enough to help these country bumpkins, but after thinking about it, she held back.
Those two ungrateful girls in the dormitory are clearly in cahoots; my daughter needs a helper.
If my daughter can bring the other girls in the dorm under her control, she will be able to live a very comfortable life in the dorm.
Therefore, she calmly sat down to the side and looked around at the situation in the dormitory.
Then, she saw two large watermelons under Liu Shile's bed.
She recognized it at a glance as an extremely rare and excellent melon—the kind with thin skin, lots of juice, and sweetness.
At a time like this, being able to eat a slice of watermelon would be incredibly wonderful, except that the watermelon wasn't hers.
No problem, Xu's mother, who is quite wealthy, decided to wait for Liu Shile to come back, buy one from her, and then treat everyone in the dormitory to eat together.
Seeing Xu Manni's sincere and kind nature, Luo Linlin finally revealed her predicament.
Although she borrowed money from Xu Qinghuan for her brother's bus fare home, she was too embarrassed to ask for money for food.
In other words, she is now penniless and will have no food to eat tonight.
Although she told her brother not to worry when she saw him off, she started to regret it after returning to her dormitory.
She also saw Liu Shile standing to the side. Liu Shile was from the countryside just like her, and Luo Linlin felt embarrassed to borrow money from her classmate in front of her.
So, out of her pitiful pride, she didn't borrow much, and that's how it ended up like this.
It would be too much to ask Xu Qinghuan to lend her money again, but without money she would go hungry.
Xu Qinghuan had no idea that Luo Linlin was still being coy and only borrowed money for the car fare even at that point.
She had never traveled far from home, so naturally she didn't know how much the fare was.
Liu Shile knew, of course, but why did she say it?
Other people's decisions, and whatever the outcome, are none of her concern.
This led Xu Qinghuan to believe that Luo Linlin had borrowed money for transportation and living expenses, so she waved goodbye and left without a trace.
Upon hearing this, Xu Manni knew that her suspicions were indeed correct.
See? It's all because of money.
So she smiled slightly and said, "Oh, I see. It's alright. How much living expenses do you need? I'll lend it to you."
She wasn't generous enough to cover everyone's living expenses.
She's not stupid, and she's not related to Luo Linlin at all, so why should she take over her living expenses?
Upon hearing this, Luo Linlin's eyes lit up immediately, and she stammered in a low voice, "Really, really?"
Xu's mother overheard this and laughed, "Our Nini never tells lies."
My daughter Nini is a bit thin, and I hope you can take good care of her at school. Please help me out, young lady.
As Xu's mother spoke, she exuded a strong aura and looked at Luo Linlin with great seriousness.
Luo Linlin nodded immediately when she felt nervous, "Don't worry, Auntie, I will take good care of Nini."
I've been doing chores at home since I was little, so I'm quite strong. From now on, I'll help Nini with any heavy work.
Upon hearing this, Xu Manni thought that this girl was quite sensible.
She knew very well that going to the water room to fetch water in winter was a tiring task, and she didn't like doing it.
Since Luo Linlin said this today, then from now on, all my work will be taken care of by Luo Linlin.
Therefore, her smile carried a greater degree of sincerity as she politely declined, saying, "How could I? I can do it myself."
We're classmates. If you're in trouble, I'll naturally help if I can. Don't listen to my mom; she's just worried about me and afraid I'll suffer.
Luo Linlin smiled and said, "Just like Nini said, we are classmates, so it is only right that we help each other."
Don't be so polite with me, you've done me a huge favor, otherwise I'm afraid I would have starved to death.
She was genuinely grateful to Xu Manni, both for the transportation and living expenses, but the living expenses touched her the most.
After all, without living expenses, she was the one who would go hungry.
But it was only her brother who didn't have the money to go home, and she couldn't truly understand that.
One was grateful, and the other was eager to win her over; as a result, the relationship between Luo Linlin and Xu Manni progressed rapidly.
Xu's mother nodded repeatedly. Her daughter was capable; there was no one her daughter couldn't handle from childhood to adulthood.
So what if Manru is rich? She's still her daughter's sucker. She never forgets to buy something for her daughter when she buys anything.
Now that she's about to go abroad, although she can't pay for her daughter's expenses like before, she still gave her the money directly.
With money, what can't I buy?
As Xu's mother was thinking happily, she saw the two girls chatting and laughing as they returned to their dormitory.
She originally wanted to prick the two of them, but when she thought of the big watermelon, she held back.
With a smile on his face but a somewhat condescending expression, he said to Liu Shile, "Liu, I'll buy your two watermelons. How much do you want?"
Liu Shile glanced under her bed and found that the two watermelons were intact, which made her think twice about her.
At the same time, I was also a little puzzled as to why they didn't take advantage of my absence and eat it first and ask me later.
Little did she know that if Luo Linlin hadn't been in the dormitory, Xu's mother probably wouldn't have been able to control herself.
In her opinion, she paid for it, not that she was eating it for free, so what's wrong with eating it first?
But Luo Linlin was in the dormitory after all, and she knew that it wasn't her family's property. If she really did that, wouldn't she be tarnishing her daughter's reputation?
That's why she waited for Liu Shile to return and thought she was "neatly discussing" things with her.
"Not for sale." Liu Shile glanced at Xu's mother and refused outright.
This is Grandma Wang's kind gesture; she won't sell it. She doesn't need the money from selling melons.
