Make a Fortune and Become Well-off [90] - Chapter 113
Jiang Ning wondered if she was wearing fancy clothes. When she arrived at the dormitory, she saw that all the classmates were still there. She couldn’t help but turn around in front of Xu Xiuli, “Xiuli, help me see if there is anything on my clothes.”
Xu Xiuli was stunned for a moment when she saw Jiang Ning. Then, when she heard her words, she really helped her to see if there was anything on her clothes. “There is nothing. Where did you buy these clothes? They are so beautiful.”
Xu Xiuli’s family was from a small town. Her family was relatively well off, and she had relatively ample pocket money. Seeing Jiang Ning’s nice clothes, she also wanted to buy one.
When others heard the conversation between Jiang Ning and Xu Xiuli, those who were originally chatting raised their heads or turned to look at Jiang Ning.Â
“You look good. How much did it cost to buy new clothes?”
Jiang Ning and Xu Xiuli were about the same height. Seeing that Xu Xiuli liked her coat, she took it off and handed it to Xu Xiuli.
“Try it.”
But after Jiang Ning took off her coat, the people in the dormitory looked at her in stunned silence.
Lu Xuehua, who was opposite Xu Xiuli’s bed, couldn’t help but stand up with bright eyes. She walked up to Jiang Ning and took two steps back to look at her matching clothes. “This looks so good.”
“Jiang Ning, why didn’t I realize you were so beautiful before?”
Jiang Ning’s previous clothes didn’t fit, being either too big or too small. When she first started school, she had just experienced a harvest season and a week of military training. Even if she wore sunscreen, she inevitably got tanned. When she first entered school, she had short hair like a boy and wore a baggy school uniform or camouflage uniform all day long. She didn’t talk to them in the room, and went for a run in the morning before they woke up. After studying in the evening, she got into the mosquito net to write. For a long time, they had never really looked at Jiang Ning’s appearance. Their impression of her was that of a thin little girl with boyish hair.
She lived with them every day, but even if there were changes, they were difficult to detect.
After half a semester, Jiang Ning had not only grown a lot in height, but her skin had also returned to its former fairness. Her facial features were really good, with a straight nose and eyes like cold stars. Before, she wore a large school uniform all day long. Now that she had taken off the school uniform and was wearing well-fitting clothes, she looked completely different.
Only then did they realize that the little girl with short boyish hair was actually so pretty.
“Where did you buy these clothes? I want to buy them too.”
They all felt that the dress brought changes to Jiang Ning.
“I want it too, I want it too.” They had just returned to school from home, and they all brought some pocket money given to them by their parents. “How much is it? Let me see if I have enough money.”
Jiang Ning said, “Twenty-nine for sweaters and pants, and thirty-nine for jackets.”
Several people counted the money in their wallets, lay on the bed, and wailed, “I can’t afford it.”
“Jiang Ning, you are so rich. It cost almost a hundred yuan to buy three pieces of clothes at once.”
“Jiang Ning, do you still have money? Lend me twenty, and I will pay you back next week.”
Before, she didn’t know how to refuse others. In her previous life, Jiang Ning was really afraid of being asked to lend money. Later, she stopped having financial dealings with people. For more than 500 yuan, she would hesitate, but for less than 500 yuan, if they didn’t repay her, it would be a lesson learned.
So Jiang Ning spread her hands in a very nonchalant manner, “It’s not like you don’t know how poor I am. My clothes are all patched up.”
People in the dormitory had quietly discussed Jiang Ning’s worn-out clothes and patches before, and Jiang Ning knew about that, but she didn’t care and didn’t take it to heart at all.
She was very calm about poverty, and they never said anything about the patches on her clothes behind her back. Seeing Jiang Ning talking about it so openly made them feel a little uncomfortable and embarrassed to ask for a loan again.
Xu Xiuli pulled her aside and said, “You can go shopping with me after school on Friday.”
She was about the same height as Jiang Ning. Before, she was taller than Jiang Ning. After half a semester, Jiang Ning’s height had jumped to the same level as hers.
She wondered if people would think they were twins if she and Jiang Ning wore the same clothes and walked on the road. Thinking of it, she couldn’t help but purse her lips and smile.
He Xiaofang, who was on the upper bunk, couldn’t help but feel a little disappointed when she saw it. She also said to Jiang Ning, “Ning Ning, you are so beautiful. I think you are just like a big star on the calendar.”
For once, Xu Xiuli expressed her agreement with He Xiaofang’s words, “I think so too.”
“Why are you exaggerating?” Liu Ping asked her, “Would you let me try it?”Â
“No,” Xu Xiuli glanced at Liu Ping’s plump body and snorted, “With a body like yours, you’ll tear Ning Ning’s clothes.”
Liu Ping was a little over one meter tall, but her chest was well-developed. If she wore Jiang Ning’s clothes, it might feel like an adult wearing children’s clothes.
The waistband of Jiang Ning’s smallest-sized clothes was too big, so she had to wear a belt to barely fit them. Liu Ping needed at least a medium size, which was two sizes larger.
Liu Ping was unhappy, “It’s not your clothes. I’ll try Jiang Ning’s clothes. What’s wrong? Jiang Ning hasn’t said anything yet, but you refused.”
“I just refused.” Xu Xiuli pulled Jiang Ning and asked, “Ning Ning, tell me, will you let her try on your clothes?”
Jiang Ning smiled and said to Liu Ping, “I just have this new jacket. Let’s agree first: if it gets torn, you can pay me the original price, which is thirty-nine yuan.” When Liu Ping heard how much money it was, she remained silent and muttered, “If you don’t want to let me try, just say it.”Â
Eight girls lived in a small dormitory. Each one had a different personality. Over time, friction would inevitably occur.
Since everyone was familiar with each other and had passed the initial period, everyone’s character was almost understood, and their true and original natures had been exposed.
For example, they could see that Jiang Ning, who was always smiling at everyone in the dormitory and seemed to be the easiest to bully, was actually not easy to bully.
On the contrary, He Xiaofang, who looked dark, strong, and quite tall, was actually a pushover. She would not refuse when others asked her to do something. After a few times, everyone started to order her around as a matter of course.
For example, when it came to mopping the floor and fetching water in the dormitory, if anyone was lazy and didn’t want to go, they usually called He Xiaofang. They also asked other people to help occasionally, but no one asked Jiang Ning or Xu Xiuli anyway.
If they called Xu Xiuli, she would just roll her eyes and say, “You don’t have any hands? I carried my own hot water to the sixth floor. It exhausted me to death. Why would I still carry yours?”
