CHAPTER 1094: CHAPTER 1094: STARTING HIGH SCHOOL (8)

After saying this, she turned to look at Ru Xiaoding, who was talking to Ruan Lei and the others: "Ru Xiaoding, do you want one?"

Ru Xiaoding was talking to Ruan Lei, and upon hearing this, she didn’t know what was going on. She looked over, a bit confused: "What?"

Yang Men raised her head higher, with a clear sense of condescension, pointing at the Luck Stone on Jiaojiao’s wrist: "That stone, we have plenty in Changling. If you like, I can bring you two ropes."

"..." Ru Xiaoding, being a girl of fifteen or sixteen, naturally picked up the condescending tone in Yang Men’s words, and her expression became somewhat stiff.

In this era, if someone could afford to attend high school, their family wouldn’t be in a poor financial situation. Although Ru Xiaoding’s family wasn’t as affluent as the Yang Family, her parents were both factory workers, which was considered a stable job during this time. She never experienced hardship growing up.

Now, being pricked by Yang Men’s words, her face turned sour. Her relationship with Yang Tao was quite good, and she also didn’t want Yang Tao to be put in a difficult position. Just as she was about to politely decline, she heard Ruan Lei snort beside her.

"Oh, wow! Miss Yang is so generous! Then why don’t you get a few for Zishu and me too? We won’t ask for many; our hands are quite long, so a hundred would do. How about it?"

"That’s too many, how embarrassing. Lei, you’re being too bold. I don’t want that many; just eighty will be enough." Having been friends for many years, Lu Zishu instantly joined in with Ruan Lei.

"That won’t do. Our Miss Yang is wealthy and is not short on money. Not getting at least a hundred, it wouldn’t do justice to her status as a city person." - Ruan Lei.

"That’s true, especially being from Changling. They’re all rich and don’t lack this. Okay then, just give me a hundred too. By the way, Xiuxi, do you want some?" Lu Zishu said as he looked over at Xiu Xi.

Xiu Xi usually didn’t like dealing with the two of them, but this time he nodded earnestly.

The Luck Rope is indeed cheap. Jiaojiao bought it at the Beidu market for fifty cents apiece. There were indeed many piled together, allowing customers to pick freely.

But in Jiaojiao’s view, gift-giving wasn’t about the price; it was about the thought.

She got along well with Yang Tao, and when she saw something nice, she wanted to share it with her, so she bought two, one for each.

Her relationship with Yu Rou was also good. Yu Rou noticed Jiaojiao picked two without including her and got jealous. Jiaojiao didn’t budge but replaced it with something else because she felt the friendship with Yang Tao was irreplaceable. Likewise, her friendship with Yu Rou was the same; she wouldn’t take the easy way and use the same thing to appease both sides.

When Yang Men said that just now, she did feel uncomfortable, but seeing Yang Men’s pretty face flushed from being mocked by the three, all her anger disappeared.

"Xiao Men, don’t say nonsense. I just like this. Even if you bought a bunch, I wouldn’t like it." Yang Tao frowned, actually not liking her cousin much either.

Though the two were cousins, they lived apart for a long time and only gathered during holidays. Yang Men often considered herself above others being from Changling, her usual conversation carried a high-and-mighty tone. Sometimes Yang Tao couldn’t be bothered to argue with her. With her parents’ frequent advice, it didn’t mean she would let Yang Men bully Jiaojiao.
