Meng Shijiang's lips moved as she asked, "What do you want?"
"I think the dress Li Cheng wore today is not bad, and I want it too. What do you think, aunty?" Jiujiu looked at Meng Shijiang with a brilliant smile, looking like an innocent child. However, in Meng Shijiang's eyes, she was like a demon.
Meng Shijiang wanted to refuse Jiujiu's request, but being stared at by Jiujiu, who seemed to be able to see through everything, she could not refuse at all.
After a while, Meng Shijiang nodded and said, "I'll buy one for you tomorrow."
"I like blue, so I'll thank aunty first." After getting what she wanted, Jiujiu directly asked her to leave, "Aunty, if you don't have anything else, you can go back to work."
Meng Shijiang turned and left.
When she reached the door, she subconsciously turned around to look at Jiujiu.
Jiujiu had her head lowered and was reading a book. Her appearance and voice were the same as before, but her personality had completely changed.
Thinking about how Jiujiu had continuously brought up the issue of the school, Meng Shijiang could not help but wonder if she had become like this because she could not handle the gossip outside.
Thinking to there, Meng Shijiang inwardly cursed. If she really released that news and caused Jiujiu to become like this, she would definitely not say a word.
However, it was too late for regrets. Thinking about the price of that dress, Meng Shijiang felt so much pain that her face began to twitch.
However, no matter how much her heart ached, thinking about how Jiujiu had used Li Cheng to threaten her, she could not help but give in.
Threatening Meng Shijiang did not give Jiujiu any sense of accomplishment.
Chen Heng was a man who only cared about making money outside and did not care about what was going on inside. In Chen Heng's mind, as long as the money was given, it did not matter whether he cared or not. Moreover, ever since he had remarried Meng Shijiang, because of Meng Shijiang, Chen Heng had placed most of his attention on Li Cheng. Compared to Li Cheng, this biological daughter of his was more like a stepmother.
Even though she could use the matter of Li Cheng's school to threaten Meng Shijiang, it was like the wolf had come. If she shouted too many times, no one would believe her.
Jiujiu lowered her head and continued to read.
The next day, Meng Shijiang brought back a dress that was as blue as the sky. Just looking at it would make one want to smile.
Jiujiu took the dress and smiled at Meng Shijiang and Li Cheng before returning to her room with the dress.
Seeing that Meng Shijiang bought a dress, Jiujiu want to buy her a dress, without even thinking about it, she asked, "Mom, why did you buy a dress for that little bitch?"
Meng Shijiang was already pained to buy a dress for Jiujiu, and now that she was questioned by Li Cheng, Meng Shijiang glared at Li Cheng and said angrily, "If you worked hard and got into No.1 Middle School, would I have to give face to that little bitch?"
Moreover, it was not just Jiujiu who was a problem. Even Chen Heng, who did not care much about Li Cheng's grades, had asked her about her grades last night.
Even though she had managed to get away with it, from Chen Heng's attitude, it seemed that he would ask about Li Cheng's grades from time to time.
Thinking to there, Meng Shijiang grabbed Li Cheng's arm and said with a serious expression, "Cheng Cheng, high school is different from middle school. If you can't get into No.1 Middle School, I can buy it for you. However, if you can't get into a good university during the college entrance examination, I can't buy it for you. So, you have to work hard, okay?"
Li Cheng had heard Meng Shijiang's words a long time ago. Now that Meng Shijiang brought it up again, Li Cheng habitually replied, "Mom, I will definitely study hard and get into a good university. Don't worry."
Hearing Li Cheng's promise, Meng Shijiang let out a sigh of relief.
No matter how much she had been wronged, as long as Li Cheng could get into a good university, the money was not spent in vain.
After comforting herself, Meng Shijiang got up and went to the kitchen to cook.
On Saturday and Sunday, Jiujiu stayed at home to read. On the weekend, she took her allowance from Meng Shijiang and went to school.
After Jiujiu left, Meng Shijiang took out another 100 yuan from her pocket and stuffed it into Li Cheng's hand. She warned, "Don't make do with things in school because you're afraid of spending money, understand?"
Seeing Meng Shijiang give her an extra 100 yuan, Li Cheng's face showed a brilliant smile and said sweetly, "I know, goodbye mom."
"Goodbye, Cheng Cheng." Meng Shijiang sent Li Cheng to the bus stop before reluctantly going back.
After returning to school, Jiujiu put her bag in the dormitory and prepared to find a part-time job.
Although her biological father Chen Heng was still in the family, from Chen Heng's attitude towards her and the fact that he could make Chen Xiao give her boyfriend to Li Cheng, it could be seen that his heart was twisted.
Jiujiu had already made up her mind that after getting into university, she would directly move her household registration.
And after she moved her household registration, Meng Shijiang would probably be even more fearless and not give her any allowance. So, it was better for her to save more money.
Working part-time outside of school was obviously impossible. Not to mention that high school only had a short time after school, no matter how kind the restaurants outside were, they would not find a student who could only work for two hours to help.
So, Jiujiu directly went to the window of the school's cafeteria.
The window of the school's cafeteria was quite busy, and it only took a while for students to eat.
Although there were several staff members at each window, once there were too many people, they would definitely be too busy. So every year, they would find some students to help.
Because the time was relatively short, they would usually take care of your meal for a while.
Although the cost of a meal was not much, after a long time, it would become a large sum of money.
Jiujiu was good-looking and had a sweet mouth, so it didn't take long for her to find a window that needed help.
Jiujiu learned from the auntie at the window for a while. Seeing that Jiujiu was nimble and clear-headed, the auntie directly nodded and asked Jiujiu to stay.
After telling the auntie that she would start working part-time on Monday, Jiujiu went to the sink to wash her greasy fingers and walked back to the dormitory.
When Jiujiu returned to the dormitory, the bag that was originally on the bed had been opened, and her clothes were thrown messily on the bed.
And the dress that she asked Meng Shijiang to buy was also missing. Jiujiu's eyes darkened, and without thinking, she directly went to the dormitory auntie downstairs and said that she had been stolen.
Hearing Jiujiu say that she had been stolen, the dormitory auntie hurriedly went upstairs to check on the situation with Jiujiu.
Seeing that Jiujiu's bag had been turned into a mess by someone, it was obviously a sharp contrast with the rest of the bed that was not messy at all.
