"Hey, I've heard that dreams are the opposite of reality. If you had a nightmare, it means your mom is doing very well. The worse the nightmare, the sooner your mom will return," Qian Xiaoguo quickly comforted her, afraid she would be unhappy.
"Jiang Mianmian, don't you sell sanitary pads? I need one now. Here, take it, no need for change!" Wu Xiaogui walked over and threw a ten-yuan note.
Jiang Mianmian glanced at her, said nothing, and took out a sanitary pad from her bag and gave it to her.
Wu Xiaogui took the sanitary pad and left.
Mianmian still continued her childhood habit of selling things. Whether it was exercise books or study materials, as long as her classmates needed them, she would find them to sell. She felt this helped her maintain a good quality, which was making money. She was a money grubber, and this was very apparent from a young age.
Later, her classmates knew that if they lacked anything, they could just find Jiang Mianmian to buy it. Then, when the girls needed sanitary pads, they also came to her, which opened up a new avenue for her to make money.
"That woman is just showing off. You only sell them for one yuan, and she throws you ten. She's deliberately humiliating you!" Qian Xiaoguo glared at Wu Xiaogui's retreating back, indignant.
"Then let her humiliate me all she wants! As long as I get paid, it's fine. Xiaoguo, you mustn't be too naive. The most important thing in life is money," Jiang Mianmian, although not lacking money now and even a wealthy woman, still cherished every cent. Her father said her monthly investment interest was considerable, so she donated a portion of it each month to children who were sick and couldn't afford medical treatment.
When she couldn't afford treatment before, her mother always worked extremely hard, and she also sold things to supplement the household expenses a little. She hoped that there would no longer be children in this world who couldn't afford to see a doctor.
Although her strength was limited, she hoped to help one person at a time.
"You have a point. Let's not go home after school today. Come out and play with me. We haven't gone shopping together in a long time," Qian Xiaoguo's wistful eyes were like those of a resentful wife.
Mianmian thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I need to buy some study materials anyway."
After school, Mianmian told Jiang Jingxiu that she was going out shopping with Qian Xiaoguo. Mianmian didn't have many friends, and Jiang Jingxiu told her to be careful and have fun.
After hanging up the phone, Mianmian received 100,000 yuan from her father, telling her to buy whatever she wanted.
Mianmian found it amusing. Her father was always like this, but she didn't need it. Almost everything she bought was reasonably priced. She didn't care about brands. The only branded item she wore was a necklace from her godmother, Tiffany.
"Oh well, I'll just save it. I won't spend it recklessly anyway."
As the two walked out of the school, some students pointed and whispered about Jiang Mianmian and Qian Xiaoguo. However, Qian Xiaoguo knew they were talking ill of Mianmian. Because she herself was ordinary-looking, ordinary in studies, and ordinary in everything, she had no gossip value. But Mianmian was different. Mianmian was beautiful, and people often talked about her, and today was clearly not for a good reason.
Qian Xiaoguo listened carefully and heard words like "poor," "money-grubber," and "gold digger." Not a single good word.
Mianmian didn't pay attention to what others were saying at all. But Qian Xiaoguo heard them getting more and more out of hand, even saying that Mianmian would definitely find a rich old man to keep her in the future. This... this was too malicious!
