Chapter 5: Embarrassing

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Lan Shu didn’t hide anything and smiled. “I can’t say that I’m selling them at a low price, but I don’t need them anymore, so there’s no need to keep them. I still have a lot of clothes at home.”

Lan Shu didn’t say anything else. She just smiled and sent Mrs. He out of the door.

Mrs. He had previously thought that Lan Shu was lazy and a wastrel who was not worthy of Xu Yunjie. But now, her thoughts had completely changed!

Miss Lan Shu must be from a rich family! Otherwise, she wouldn’t have so many clothes.

From the looks of it, Mr. Xu was actually out of his league with Miss Lan Shu!

Although Miss Lan Shu was a little fat and lazy, even if she became a divorcee, she would not have to worry about food and drink. She could continue living a good life.

Hence, after the divorce, it was hard to say who would have a better life!

…

The next day, Xu Yunjie left the room early in the morning.

Last night, he had gone to borrow money from a few of his colleagues who he usually had a good relationship with. After running around for a night, he had only borrowed more than 150 yuan. It was still quite a distance away from his 400 yuan target.

Xu Yunjie didn’t expect it to be so difficult for him to borrow money.

Although the wages of the workers in this machinery factory were not low, everyone was leading difficult lives.

Those who were not married had to hand over their money to their families, and those who were married had to support their families and children.

As a result, after asking around, he realized that he was actually the richest person!

Unfortunately, his money would soon be given to the Lan family…

Just as Xu Yunjie left, Lan Shu got up from the bed.

She first went out for breakfast, then came back to wash her dirty clothes and tidy up the place.

After she was done with her work, a few older women came to her door one after another at the agreed time.

Seeing so many people coming to ‘give her money’, Lan Shu welcomed them with a smile. She immediately took the packed clothes out of the door and into the corridor.

It wasn’t that she was rude and didn’t want to invite anyone in, but the staff dormitory room was too small and could not fit so many people.

Moreover, the lighting outside was good, and the colors of the various clothes could be seen more clearly, so everyone was happy to choose clothes in the corridor.

In the morning, Lan Shu earned more than 100 yuan from selling second-hand clothes, in addition to paying off the 20-odd yuan debt she owed her neighbors.

She had also sold most of the clothes that the host had brought from the countryside.

As there were no large amounts of clothes piled up, the room was much cleaner. The clean surroundings made one feel happy.

Unfortunately, this joy did not last long.

In the afternoon, Lan Shu returned from eating at a restaurant outside. The moment she entered, she saw Xu Yunjie standing in the room with a dark expression.

Seeing her enter the room, Xu Yunjie quickly stepped forward and closed the door behind her with a bang. Then, he glared at her fiercely. “Lan Shu! Do you really not know what it means to embarrass yourself?”

Hearing this, Lan Shu frowned.

“How am I embarrassing myself?”

Lan Shu asked subconsciously since someone suddenly said that for no reason.

The disgust in Xu Yunjie’s eyes deepened when he saw Lan Shu’s lack of shame!

“You’re simply embarrassing me by selling clothes in our staff dormitory!”

When Xu Yunjie got off work at noon, he went to the staff canteen for lunch and met his colleague, Zhang Guodong, who lived next door to him.

Zhang Guodong was in his early 30s. As he had a stingy wife, he had always been unsociable in the factory.

Usually, when the two of them met, they would at most greet each other.

However, today, Zhang Guodong took the initiative to approach him and persuaded him to lead a good life with his wife. He even said that he shouldn’t mind his wife’s appearance as well as some other things.

At that moment, Xu Yunjie felt that something was amiss!

After asking, he found out that Zhang Guodong’s stingy wife had bought a few clothes from Lan Shu yesterday. Other wives in the staff dormitory would be buying clothes from Lan Shu this morning.

This made Xu Yunjie furious on the spot!

Nowadays, although the country allowed self-employed people to do business, many still thought that doing business was speculative and capitalist.

Xu Yunjie had gone to university and should have played down such thoughts. However, when he heard that the person selling things was Lan Shu, he couldn’t tolerate it!

He didn’t even finish eating and ran quickly from the canteen back to the staff dormitory to look for Lan Shu.

However, he didn’t expect Lan Shu to be nowhere to be seen when he came back.

It was Zhang Guodong’s wife, Mrs. He, who came out of the house next door and told him, “Miss Lan Shu should be out for a meal now.”

Upon hearing this, Xu Yunjie, who was starving, became even angrier!

He stood in the room and waited for a long time with anger surging within him. Only then did Lan Shu, who had eaten her fill, return.

Lan Shu didn’t expect Xu Yunjie to be so angry because of this.

“Embarrassing you” She repeated what Xu Yunjie said and couldn’t help but sneer.

“I’m open and aboveboard. It’s not like I stole or robbed. What’s so embarrassing about selling a few unworn clothes?

“I just ate some buns and owed some money. You’re a man who can’t even support his wife. What kind of man are you?! If someone’s embarrassing someone, it’s you who’s embarrassing me!”

Ever since she had obtained the host’s memories, Lan Shu had long disliked Xu Yunjie, this coward who lived off a woman. Now that he had taken the initiative to be scolded, Lan Shu was in a good mood and felt comfortable.

Xu Yunjie had never been scolded like this before. Lan Shu kept saying, “What kind of man are you?” and “You’ve embarrassed yourself.” He was so angry that his face turned ashen!

“Y-You…”

“What about me? You’re so useless. Of course, I have to rely on myself to repay the money I owe the neighbors. Don’t tell me I have to rely on a piece of trash like you to repay the debt?”

Lan Shu glanced at Xu Yunjie indifferently. That contemptuous gaze made Xu Yunjie so angry that he almost fainted!

He was so angry that his ears and face turned red, but he couldn’t say anything to refute it.

Indeed, he did not help Lan Shu return the money, but he did not expect Lan Shu to have the ability to return the money herself.

At this moment, the bell rang. Lunchtime in the factory was over. He had to return to his post immediately!

Helpless, Xu Yunjie could only hold back his anger and glare fiercely at Lan Shu before leaving the dormitory building.

…

In the next two days, Xu Yunjie never spoke to Lan Shu again.

His disgust for Lan Shu had reached its peak!

Now, he only wanted to get a divorce as soon as possible!

Compared to Xu Yunjie, who was frustrated and suffering every day, Lan Shu was leisurely discovering the food of this era.

In the morning, the people here would have soy milk and deep-fried dough sticks. At noon, they would order food from restaurants. At night, they would have a bun and a bowl of porridge.

Other than eating, she did not stay idle either. Every day, she would do some weight loss exercises.

In just three short days, Lan Shu clearly felt that the fat in her stomach was a little softer than before.

This was a sign of stubborn fat being lost.

She had customized a weight loss plan for herself. In three months, she would get rid of the label ‘fatty’!
