"Is that so?" Cao Xiaoliu frowned, "But I can tell from her personality that it's different from what you said."
In Zhang Pei Pei's story, Chen Lei was a very obedient, patient, and sensible girl.
However, in reality, she was in contact with Cao Xiaolian. If she hadn't promised that she would never know her in both her past and present lives, she would have thought that she had unintentionally dug her ancestor's grave.
Zhang Peipei revealed a constipated expression.
"Do you know who the fellow countryman who introduced her to her work was?"
Cao Xiaoling shook her head. "How would I know?"
"It's Huang Tianyu."
That's why all the senior sisters are willing to help her. However, after Huang Tianyu helped her find a job later on, her economic conditions seemed to have improved a lot. Anyway, when I came here, she seemed to be different from the ones described in the dormitory. But she was very unfriendly to you. "
The current Chen Lei looked a little like a nouveau riche. She was usually poor, but once she became rich, she immediately exposed that kind of face.
But in the dorm, since everyone knew her background, she usually pretended to be here. Cao Xiaolian was a rookie and had a grudge with Huang Tianyu, so of course she would be willing to pick a fight with her.
"Regarding that pancake, I think she really likes it. She thought that you had a soft temper, so if she didn't tell you, then she would have let this matter go. I never thought that things would turn out like this." Zhang Pei Pei could not help but feel his heart ache when he thought of that 56 RMB powder. "I think she is regretting it now, so I want to see you to see if we can reconcile."
"Reconciliation?" Cao Xiaolian was confused, "We will not pursue the matter of stealing, but we will compensate if we damage the item. That is perfectly justified."
"But you saw what happened to her." Zhang Peipei was very embarrassed, he rubbed his hands, "Look, can you at least compensate me with half of this money? "After all, we are from the clothing department, so it's easier to earn money …"
"Zhang Pei Pei." Cao Xiaolian smiled sweetly, "Zhang Pei Pei, right?"
Zhang Peipei nodded. His words were cut off and he was stunned for a moment.
"First, it's not easy for me to earn money. This is my business, so I can't say that I deserve to be stolen because earning money is easy, right?"
Zhang Peipei nodded. That's true.
"Secondly, I didn't give the item to her. She did it without my permission. Could it be that she can steal something from someone because she's poor? It's not like real people are short of ambition. "
Zhang Peipei blushed and did not say a word.
"Third." Cao Xiaolian looked at her and said with a cold smile, "I have made this matter very clear. I don't think that by dealing with it like this, I will make things difficult for the dormitory. At least I can teach her a lesson, and not take a poor hat to do something illegal."
"Perhaps you would think that I'm a scammer, but Chen Lei's appearance today can't be dragged into that group of good people in the dorm. Stealing is stealing, it has nothing to do with whether you have money or not. Could it be that the rich deserved to be robbed, and the poor deserved to steal? If that's the case, then why create wealth? Everyone can just steal it. "
"I worked hard to earn my money, but there was no reason for me to help a thief who did not know what he was up to. There were many ways to make money in the school, including applications from poor students and scholarships. Why would she choose to steal from her roommates? "
Zhang Pei Pei's face was already very red. Hearing Cao Xiao Lian's question, he quickly said: "She is also a girl. After all, it is a bit …"
"Awful?" Cao Xiaoling laughed contemptuously. "So, it would be good if you were to openly face your own identity and choose to steal someone else's things, right?"
"If all three views in this dorm are like that, then I can only regretfully say that you guys and I really can't handle our relationship. After all, it's really hard to communicate since we don't understand each other."
"But don't worry, I will probably move out soon after paying for one semester here. Therefore, during this period of time, if anyone isn't satisfied with me, they can pretend that they didn't see me, and I will try my best to attract as little attention as possible. Is that okay? "
If it was Chen Lei who said this, it would only make others feel that she was asking for trouble. However, Cao Xiaolian had a dignified expression on her face, her eyes were clear, and she was speaking from the bottom of her heart.
For some reason, Zhang Pei Pei nodded his head.
"Then that's it. I'll be going to class now. Thank you for your story."
Looking at Cao Xiaolian's retreating back, she regretted it.
She even began to ponder whether they were usually too tolerant, which was why the situation was like this today.
But no matter what happened, this 560 was enough to make Chen Lei's flesh ache.
Cao Xiaolian could not calm down for a long time.
Before he left in his previous life, he had seen a very popular piece of news.
He said it was a mother with a sick child, and that the husband had left them because the child's medical expenses were too great for him. Mom had no choice but to take care of the kids. She had no choice but to steal from the supermarket next to her. The police caught her and found that she had stolen a bag of salt and a chicken leg.
As a result, the police sent the matter up, sparking a heated discussion.
Many people cried and said that they had a great motherly love, a great motherly love. Thus, they instantly started to donate as much as three hundred and fifty thousand yuan.
However, at this moment, discordant sounds could be heard.
Everyone began to question the actions of this parent. Regardless of who she was doing it for, stealing was still stealing. It was an undesirable action.
Even the staff of the supermarket came out to talk. This wasn't the first time she stole something. Every time, she stole some small items, but the losses were always borne by the supermarket staff.
The mainstream voice was, of course, still speaking for this mother. They were all saying that she hadn't stolen the money, but had only stolen the chicken leg. This was proof of her love for her child.
When Cao Xiaolian was reading this news, she happened to have a rich lady accompanying her to Milan.
The wife, who had two children of her own, sighed at the news and told the secretary how pitiful it was, and asked the secretary to ask about the mother's kitchen and give her a hundred thousand dollars.
Cao Xiaolian was dumbfounded.
She wondered if she was ill. Why didn't she think it was a good thing?
As far as she was concerned, stealing was stealing. There was no reason.
You can be poor, but you have to be honest. You are poor, but you can go through other ways. Is there really no other way?
In other words, if you stole something from the supermarket, did you think that the staff who worked in the supermarket would only receive a small sum of money every month? Would she also be a sick old man who had a baby waiting for her at home, and would only be able to live with this bit of money every month?
He did not want to do anything to others.
Furthermore, the public had magnified this matter and given the wrong guidance. Cao Xiaolian had even seen a piece of news about a mother who had the same experience as her. The child was also in critical condition, but she had been extending her life by relying on her own hands.
The mother said, Isn't it just because we didn't steal it that no one gave us a donation?
Of course, such unorthodox speech was quickly blocked out.
But she was right.
When it was a false comment, most people actually started praising it. When the values of a society were distorted, it meant that it was very dangerous.
Cao Xiaolian didn't know if Chen Lei was really lucky or unlucky in this dorm. Perhaps everyone felt that she was very pitiful, so they helped her in every way. However, in Cao Xiaolan's eyes, stealing was stealing, for no reason at all.
Today you can do it for that reason, tomorrow you can do it for that reason. And all of these reasons, were precisely the factors that led people on the path of crime.
She planned to buy another box for her sister that night, but Chen Lei had to let her know, not everyone in this society was a saint, and they could forgive her actions.
In class, perhaps because of his serious expression, he was poked in the arm by Li Yiyi.
She handed over a small slip of paper, on which was written: "What's wrong? You fought with my brother? "
Cao Xiaolan looked up and saw that she was making faces at her.
F * * k!
She wrote below, "No, I'm thinking about homework."
There were homework twice a year, winter holidays and summer vacations, and specialized classes required them to draw fifty manuscripts plus a history of apparel.
Li Yuyi scrunched his eyebrows and wrote, "It's only December. There's still more than a month left. What's the rush?"
She nodded and smiled at her, and when she heard the sound of the teacher clearing her throat in front of her, she quickly turned her head to listen to the class.
Until after class.
The next three classes were originally English, but since the English teacher had something to do, he switched to sports tomorrow. In that case, Cao Xiaolian decided to go directly to Wangfujing.
"I'm going to buy something. Are you going?"
"Sure." Li Yuyi asked, "I just finished using my hand cream. Let's go together."
The two of them left the school and got on the subway to Wang Mansion.
She went to the counter, and the seller was still the waiter from yesterday. Upon seeing that it was her, he immediately smiled. "Little girl, why are you here again?"
"Yesterday's powder, I'll buy another box."
The waiter was immediately so happy that he was about to burst into laughter. He said while taking it, "I said our product was especially good. Nuo, there was also a new powder and mascara. You can try it. We have enough to buy 188 yuan now and we're selling it at a discount."
"Everything's fine. Why did I think of putting on makeup?" Li Yuyi took a hand cream and tried it out on his hand. "Women go on dates with my brother for the sake of their appearance."
"Not at all." Cao Xiaolian was impressed by her imagination. "Isn't my sister coming to Beijing to perform? She will definitely be reluctant to use it. I'll buy her a set to prepare."
The dancing was done with heavy makeup. Cao Xiaolian once asked what her sister used, but she said she bought them next to the school. They cost a few yuan a box, so Cao Xiaolian frowned.
Cosmetics hurt the skin, but that only made it worse.
That was why Cao Xiaolian wanted to buy it for her sister.
"What a great big sister." After he finished praising, Li Yuyi realized that something was wrong. "Eh? When did your sister come? How come I didn't know? Then let's get a meal together tonight."
What a joke, he was a future relative.
"She's here to perform. She's probably rather busy." The waitress saw that it was a big customer, so she quickly handed the lipstick over. She placed it on the back of her hand to test the color, "It might not come out."
"It's fine, it's fine. Just ask her. Since we have the time, we might as well use her time."
Seeing how enthusiastic Li Yuyi was, Cao Xiaoling felt embarrassed. "Alright, I'll take a look. She should have some time later."
In the end, they said they were here to make up for the pancakes, but they were persuaded by Li Yiyi to buy even more pancakes.
Finally, Li Yuyi bought a set of Ou Shu Dan Hand Cream. He bought a total of five. He said he would give one to Cao Xiaolan, one to himself, one to his mother and one to his good friend.
Cao Xiaoliu waved her hand, but Li Yiyi was so angry that he insisted that she accept it. She then gave up.
