“Ha, how much do you think this dress costs?” The woman who thought she was superior had an expression that said something was wrong with her ears after she heard Chen Meng’er’s words. Not only this woman, but the people around who heard Chen Meng’er say the price of this dress were in complete disbelief.
Although Chen Ping and Liu Juan did not have the same expression as the people around them, in their hearts, they thought that Chen Meng’er was the one who said the price of this dress to deceive this woman.
“100, 100 RMB,” Chen Meng’er said seriously to the woman.
“How is this possible? How can a dress be worth this price? You’re so young, yet you’re already lying.” The woman was a little surprised, then, she showed an expression that it was wrong for a child to lie.!!
The woman’s words made all the parents present nod in agreement. What kind of concept was a hundred yuan? That was the salary of a worker for one or two months. Some families might not even have a hundred yuan in their savings. Therefore, they did not dare to imagine what kind of dress a hundred-yuan dress was.
“I’m not lying. This dress costs at least 100 yuan. If you don’t believe me, you can go to the Friendship Store in Beijing and ask.” Chen Meng’er didn’t know what kind of big shopping malls there were, what she vaguely remembered was the Friendship Store that was unique to this era.
The others didn’t know what the Friendship Store was, but that woman had followed her husband to Beijing. Her husband’s friends who talked about the Friendship Store had also seen it from a distance outside. Only foreigners, diplomats, and government officials could enter the shop. Moreover, buying things inside did not mean that one could have money. The Friendship Store only accepted foreign exchange vouchers.
When the woman heard Chen Meng’er mention the Friendship Store, she was no longer as aggressive as before. She knew that in their place, very few people knew about the Friendship Store. And if this little girl in front of her could mention the Friendship Store, then their family was definitely not as simple as they appeared to be.
And this woman, a woman from the countryside, was able to travel to the countryside for her lover. Moreover, when her lover could return, she did not ask her husband to abandon her and her daughter. One could imagine how manipulative she was.
After Chen Meng’er mentioned the Friendship Store, she gave up. She did not come to argue with Chen Meng’er’s family again. However, the little girl who was obviously spoiled by this woman gave up. “Mom, I want that dress on her.” This kind of little girl who had never suffered before did not know what one hundred yuan meant.
“What are you arguing about? Why do you want everything you see? Be sensible.” When her daughter once again clamored for Chen Meng’er’s dress, the woman sank down and reprimanded.
When the little girl saw her mother’s sullen face, she was so afraid that she stopped making noise. However, she gave Chen Meng’er a fierce glare.
At this moment, the school gate opened. At the school gate, the attention that had been focused on Chen Meng’er’s family and the woman suddenly shifted. Everyone squeezed toward the school gate in twos and threes.
When Chen Ping saw this crowded scene, he was afraid that he would crush his daughter, Chen Meng’er, so he bent down and picked her up. Liu Juan was holding Chen Haoguo with one hand and Chen Haoxuan with the other.
Chen Haoguo looked at the scene and said to Chen Haoxuan, who was on the other side of Liu Juan, “Little Xuan, I told you not to come so early. Look, there are more people here.”
However, Chen Haoxuan was full of curiosity about the school and did not listen to what Chen Haoguo said at all..
