MTL - 1980s Group-Pampering: Cannon-Fodder Real Young Lady Gets a Divorce and Becomes a Billionaire-Chapter 4 borrow clothes

  Chapter 4 Borrowing Clothes

  The boy is tall and straight, with a height of more than 180. He looks young, about sixteen or seventeen years old.

  Although he was only wearing an ordinary white shirt and black trousers, he couldn't hide his wide shoulders, narrow waist, and straight and slender legs.

  He stood at the head of the bridge, lowered his head slightly, and looked softly at the old lady beside him.

  With just one glance, Lan Shu can tell that apart from having a perfect appearance, the young man also has a kind heart that respects and loves the elderly.

  Such a good-looking, good-hearted young man, but he said something that she didn't like to hear!

   Lan Shu frowned, took the unfinished buns and walked towards the boy, and stood in front of him a few steps.

   "You mean I'm fat so I shouldn't go out?"

   "Also, you are so good-looking, why do you speak so badly, who do you call me big sister? I am at most two or three years older than you, so I call you young lady!"

  The sudden crisp questioning voice made Gu Jue slightly startled!

   Then the word "Miss Sister" made him laugh.

  He looked up, and saw the girl who had just been called white and fat by his grandmother, standing in front of him with a cold face and anger.

  Gu Jue never thought that his casual sentence would anger others.

   At this time, he was questioned face to face, and he was a little embarrassed.

   But it's really wrong to speak ill of people, and he was about to apologize for his slip of the tongue.

  But in the next second, he heard the fat girl say confidently and seriously, "I can gain weight by myself, and I can lose weight by myself!"

   Lan Shu said this, not only to refute other people's random evaluation of her, but also to set a goal for herself.

  She wants to lose weight! Let people never find fault with her figure in the future!

   Gu Jue on the side:?

   "Eating fat...is it still based on ability?"

  It was the first time he heard this novel statement.

  Besides, losing weight is not an easy task. It requires persistence and strong endurance. He doesn't believe that the eldest sister in front of him, who can't even control her figure, can really lose weight as she said.

   "Sister, I really didn't mean to say you just now..."

   Lan Shu's face darkened!

  Gu Jue on the other side understood in seconds—

  He couldn't help laughing, but he still called out to Big Sister Baipang, "Miss Sister."

   "Hmph! Not sincere at all."

   Lan Shu snorted in dissatisfaction, but she didn't continue to care about it. In fact, she wasn't too angry with the boy in front of her, she just warned him a little.

   After speaking, she turned around and was about to leave.

  But in the next second, she heard the boy's clean and clear voice from behind—

   "Wait a minute." Gu Jue said, bent down and took out a long-sleeved shirt from the hand luggage bag at his feet, and handed it to Lan Shu.

   "Lend this to you." He said.

  Lan Shu watched the young man lower his head slightly, his eyes drifted, and the tips of his ears turned red.

  Lan Shu:? ?

   Soon, the old lady on the side reminded, "Girl, my grandson borrowed your clothes to let you block behind."

   Lan Shu's eyes widened when she heard this!

  Her "big aunt" has arrived without a trace!

   Now Lan Shu took the clothes from the young man without hesitation, and tied the long sleeves around her bucket waist with some difficulty.

   Looking up at the boy again, her eyes were not angry at all, but full of gratitude, "Thank you, I will return the clothes to you after I wash them."

   After speaking, she turned around with her head bowed in embarrassment, and left in a hurry.

  …

  The sky gradually darkened, and the light bulbs in the roadside vendors and shops lit up one after another.

   Lan Shu had a light blue shirt tied around her waist, and walked quickly towards the supply and marketing cooperative not far away.

  The Supply and Marketing Cooperative gets off work after seven o'clock, and if she goes there late, she won't be able to buy what she needs.

  It has only been two years since the reform and opening up. In 1980, commercial development was still very backward, and there were too few channels to buy things. The main daily necessities in small counties still had to be bought in supply and marketing cooperatives.

  So the 1980s was also called the golden age after the reform and opening up by later generations.

   At this time, self-employed people do business, as long as they work hard, there is basically no loss of money.

   Lan Shu thought about starting a small business after she and Xu Yunjie divorced.

  Don't seek to make money every day and get rich, at least you can live a good and high-quality life in this era.

  …

  The inside of the supply and marketing cooperative on Linfu Street is 100 square meters in size. There are a long row of counters with tobacco, wine, non-staple food, fabrics, wool, a small amount of finished clothes, and daily necessities.

   Lan Shu had confirmed it before coming here. There are no sanitary napkins in China now. Women who come to auntie rely on toilet paper.

  Most of the toilet paper in this era is about one foot long and half a foot wide, without any large paper for sealed storage. According to the degree of roughness and softness, it is divided into two grades, which are 40 cents per catty and 70 cents per catty.

   Lan Shu bought two catties and seventy cents of toilet paper, and watched the employees of the supply and marketing agency weigh a large pile of toilet paper on the scale with bare hands without any cleaning measures, and then handed it out from the counter in a hasty bundle.

  Lan Shu: …

  Even if she is not a clean freak, she still thinks that using paper like this is not clean.

  At this moment, Lan Shu suddenly made a decision—

   Even if it is for herself, she wants to make sanitary napkins, a must-have item for women, available as soon as possible!

  …

  Back to the staff dormitory building with a large bundle of toilet paper, it was already completely dark.

  Xu Yunjie hasn't come back yet, probably borrowing money is more difficult than he imagined.

   As soon as Lan Shu entered the house and dealt with the 'disaster' brought by her aunt, there was a soft knock on the door from the outside.

  She opened the door and saw that it was Mrs. He!

  Although Mrs. He had a smile on her face, Lan Shu could tell that her smile was somewhat unnatural.

   Just wondering what happened, Lan Shu heard Mrs. He say apologetically.

"Sister Lanshu, after you left just now, Zhang Li from upstairs came to visit my house. When she saw those clothes, she asked and found out that you sold them to me. She wanted to buy them from you." Clothes, use the money she lent you to pay for..."

   Before Sister He said this, she was worried that Lan Shu would be angry, but after she finished speaking, she saw Lan Shu smiling gently.

   "Of course it's okay~! I also want to thank Mrs. He for helping me spread the news." Lan Shu said softly.

   Whether Zhang Li found out by accident, or Mrs. He deliberately told Zhang Li the news, it doesn't matter.

   Lan Shu has no intention of not paying back the debt. Whether the neighbors ask for money or take clothes to pay off the debt, she is willing to accept it.

   Just…

   "It's too late today, how about this, sister-in-law He, tomorrow morning, any family members in our dormitory building who want to buy clothes at a low price can come to me, first come, first served, until they run out."

   Lan Shu said it openly.

  Sister He froze when she heard Lan Shu's words.

   "Sister, don't you plan to sell all your clothes cheap?"

  She thought that Xu Gong's daughter-in-law might find it too troublesome to take so many clothes away after the divorce, so she planned to clean up some.

   But looking at her current posture, it seems that it is not as simple as intending to clear part.
