Make a Fortune and Become Well-off [90] - Chapter 120
The negative atmosphere in the dormitory lifted. When Jiang Ning said the money would be used to buy braised pork, everyone suddenly became happy and looked at Jiang Ning with bright eyes.
They weren’t as well-off as Jiang Ning, who had food stamps and could buy braised pork every day.
At most, they had one portion a week to satisfy their cravings.
Jiang Ning said, “Actually, Liu Ping is right. After we’ve read these magazines, we leave them lying around. We could indeed use them to make some money.”Â
Her expression turned serious again as she looked coldly at Liu Ping. “But shouldn’t you have told me before using my things? Taking without asking is called stealing. I’m sure you understand that, don’t you?”
Jiang Ning had been so tolerant a moment ago, but she suddenly became stern, which made Liu Ping extremely stressed. She didn’t even dare to touch Lu Xuehua. With her head lowered, she apologized, “I’m sorry.”
The label of “thief” was indeed too heavy for adolescent girls. It was so heavy that Liu Ping became frightened under Jiang Ning’s cold and stern gaze, and her tears fell out of real fear.
She didn’t know what she would do if the whole school found out that she was a thief. At that moment, she finally realized, albeit belatedly, what she would face if Jiang Ning reported the matter to the teacher or even the Education Office.
The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became. She was so scared that her legs went weak, and she wanted to kneel down to Jiang Ning. “I’m sorry, Jiang Ning, I’m sorry. I didn’t think it through. I’m sorry. I’ll pay you back all the money. I’ll never do this again.”
“Okay, please don’t tell the teacher,” she pleaded. Her mind raced, and she suddenly thought of a good idea. “I’ll help you make money. I’ll help you rent books. I’ll give you all the money, okay?”
Jiang Ning looked at her pitiful expression and couldn’t help but shake her head.
She stared at Liu Ping solemnly for a while, and when Liu Ping became more worried, she nodded and said, “Okay.”Â
But before Liu Ping could breathe easy, Jiang Ning announced to everyone in the dormitory, “Since we can make money by renting magazines, and I have every issue of my magazine, it would be a waste to leave them unused. The money earned from renting books can be used as extra food expenses for our dormitory. Dormitory Head, please do the math. How much money do we earn every week? Every Wednesday night, we can use this money to buy meals of braised pork for everyone.”
With that, the financial problem of renting books was delegated, and the dormitory head was pleased to take on the task of managing the accounts. Everyone in the dormitory was happy, including He Xiaofang and Xu Xiuli. Who wouldn’t like eating meat these days? Only Lu Xuehua was still a bit unhappy.
“But we can’t let Liu Ping go unpunished for what she did,” Jiang Ning said calmly, causing Liu Ping’s heart to tremble. She looked at Jiang Ning, pleading for mercy, unsure of what Jiang Ning was planning.
Jiang Ning looked at the others in the dormitory and asked, “How do you want to punish her?”
The rhythm in the dormitory was unknowingly controlled by Jiang Ning, and everyone couldn’t help but follow her lead.
The dormitory head hesitated before suggesting, “How about punishing her by making her clean the dormitory?” Someone else added, “Punish her by washing your clothes,” and another suggested, “Or clean your shoes.”
Jiang Ning asked Lu Xuehua and Xu Xiuli, “What are your suggestions?”
“You can punish her however you want, just don’t let her off easily,” Lu Xuehua said, still angry, glaring at Liu Ping fiercely.
Xu Xiuli proposed, “Then punish her by cleaning the dormitory for two months.”
Everyone thought that suggestion was good. Jiang Ning turned to Liu Ping and asked, “Can you accept this punishment?”
Liu Ping’s resolve was completely shattered by Jiang Ning’s back-and-forth. How could she object? She nodded repeatedly, “I do, I do. I’ll clean the dormitory for two months.”
With that, the mood in the dormitory lightened again. Even Liu Ping, who was fined and had to clean for two months, felt grateful to Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning then asked Lu Xuehua, “Are you willing to work with Liu Ping on renting the magazines? You don’t need to do anything else, just supervise her.”
Liu Ping shrank her neck and tugged on Lu Xuehua’s sleeve again.
Lu Xuehua responded calmly, “The magazines belong to Jiang Ning. Since Jiang Ning has forgiven you, what else can I say? But Jiang Ning said the money earned from renting books will go towards extra meal expenses for our dormitory. That concerns everyone in the dormitory, and I was asked to be the supervisor. You know my character. If you dare to do anything under my nose…”
Liu Ping quickly raised her hands in a vow, “I won’t dare anymore, I really won’t.” God knew, she was truly terrified by Lu Xuehua and Jiang Ning.
Lu Xuehua was the type to inform the whole school. Jiang Ning looked gentle, but her blows were like cutting someone with a blunt knife, and Liu Ping was even more afraid of her.
She didn’t even know how the situation had been resolved so calmly in the end. Jiang Ning actually let her continue renting the books. Though the money she earned wasn’t hers, she also loved braised pork.
Thinking of the taste of braised pork, she couldn’t help but salivate.
She no longer had to worry about being caught by her roommates for renting books in secret but could now do it openly. The thought of it made her feel excited.
The girls in the other dormitories had been listening with their ears pricked up, expecting a fight after hearing about a thief in 610 dormitory.
When they finally got up to see what was happening, they were surprised to find the 610 dormitory as calm as if nothing had happened.
When the door to dormitory 610 opened, they all walked out of the dormitory pretending to be casual, but people in dormitory 610 were happy.
From the faces of the girls in dormitory 610, it was really difficult to tell which one was the thief. After all, they were all suspects. The atmosphere in dormitory 610 should have been very tense, but their expressions were not only not angry; everyone was quite happy.
Of course, the people in dormitory 610 were very happy. Not only would they have braised pork as a snack once a week, but Liu Ping also agreed to be the one cleaning the dormitory for the next two months.
No. 1 High School not only managed studies but also strictly supervised the dormitories of students. Every morning, the dormitory aunt would go up to check the rooms. The quilts in each dormitory had to be folded neatly, just like during military training, and the floors had to be spotless; otherwise, points would be deducted.
Of course, if the room was cleaned very neatly, there would also be red flags awarded as a reward. At the end of the semester, the dormitory with the most red flags would also receive a material reward.
