Let you be a great man, not a scumbag

Chapter 1170 My Benefactor, Lao Zhao

After returning to the dormitory, I saw Ye Wan carrying three shopping bags, which was very abnormal.

The other three girls in the dormitory came over in surprise.

She never buys things like this before.

Besides, the bag looked like a shopping bag for some clothing company.

Everyone was busy with their own things.

Seeing Ye Wan like this, they couldn't help but put down what they were holding and gathered around in surprise.

One of the girls came closer curiously and immediately caught sight of the brand name printed on the shopping bag.

I couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.

Seeing this, the other two girls also hurried over to take a look.

Upon seeing this, several people's eyes widened involuntarily, with expressions of astonishment on their faces.

After a moment, they came to their senses.

They immediately surrounded Ye Wan and started asking questions at once.

"Ye Wan, are you rich?"

"Yeah, why did you buy such an expensive down jacket?"

I saw three people looking at me as if I were aliens.

Ye Wan was a little dazed by the look.

I stood there subconsciously, holding the shopping bags tightly in my hands.

After a while, he seemed to suddenly react.

He slowly reached into the shopping bag and took out the down jackets.

Look at them carefully one by one.

The clothes did feel much lighter than the cotton coats she had worn before.

She focused her attention on the sewing and stitching of the clothes.

The stitches are fine and even, and the workmanship is quite fine.

The design is extremely simple, with almost no complicated decorations.

In Ye Wan's opinion, besides being lighter, the fabric also feels thicker.

She didn't see anything special about the rest.

She was full of confusion and had a look of bewilderment on her face.

Looking at her roommates, she moved her lips slightly and asked in a trembling voice, "Is this dress expensive?"

When the roommates heard Ye Wan's question, they were stunned at first.

They exchanged a meaningful look.

The confusion and shock in his eyes just now were gradually replaced by curiosity.

One of the roommates was the first to speak up: "It's expensive. This is a big brand. Any down jacket costs thousands of dollars."

Another roommate quickly agreed, "Yes, my aunt has a down jacket of this brand. Every time my mom sees it, her eyes are filled with envy, and she keeps saying that she will buy one when she gets her salary."

Another roommate couldn't help but come forward, staring at Ye Wan, and asked curiously: "Yes, Ye Wan, we all know that you work in a milk tea shop. How much can you earn an hour there? How long do you have to work to afford such expensive clothes? Did you win the lottery?"

The questions from several people were like a string of cannonballs, thrown at Ye Wan one after another.

There was also a gleam of inquiry in his eyes.

Speaking of which, from the moment school started, they had a general understanding of Ye Wan's family conditions.

When we first entered school, we discussed and pooled our money to buy a washing machine.

When it was Ye Wan's turn to express her opinion, she was obviously very embarrassed and awkward.

With his hands twisted together nervously and his eyes wandering, he said in a low voice that he might not want to use the washing machine.

Otherwise, you don't have to share the cost.

At that moment, the atmosphere in the dormitory seemed to freeze.

No one spoke, but just looked at her silently, with a hint of alienation in their eyes.

For a period of time after that, the communication between them and Ye Wan became very rare.

The relationship between them was also a little cold.

However, as time went by, they gradually discovered that Ye Wan was really a very frugal person.

She is busy with various part-time jobs every day, leaving home early and returning late, and rarely stays in the dormitory.

Every night, after everyone has finished washing up, they lie comfortably in bed, watching TV series and chatting.

Ye Wancai dragged her tired body back to the dormitory.

She always opened the door very quietly, for fear of disturbing everyone.

Then he quickly washed up and climbed into bed.

Although Ye Wan didn't pay for the washing machine.

Never used a washing machine either.

But she never had any objection to the shared electricity bill in the dormitory.

Every time she paid the electricity bill, she would silently hand over her share of the money to her roommate who was responsible for collecting the money.

It was precisely because of Ye Wan's indifference that the sense of guilt in their hearts became stronger and stronger.

Sometimes they go out shopping or eating together.

When he came back, he would always bring some snacks or treats for Ye Wan.

After all, they spend more time in the dormitory.

Various electrical equipment also took turns to be used.

The computer is on all day to watch TV series, and a hair dryer is a daily must-have.

Use a fan in summer and an electric hot pot in winter.

Electrical appliances are used quite frequently, so the electricity bill is naturally high.

Ye Wan, on the other hand, formed a sharp contrast with them.

I go out early and come back late every day, busy between study and part-time job, and my life is simple and regular.

Apart from charging her mobile phone, she hardly touched any other electrical appliances in the dormitory.

Naturally, the electricity bill has little to do with her.

Ye Wan's hands unconsciously tugged at the corner of her clothes.

The fingers turned slightly white due to the force.

She took a deep breath and tried to make her voice sound steady.

With mixed feelings, he replied, "Normally, it's 18 yuan an hour."

After leaving Jiancha, "18 yuan? This is two yuan higher than when I worked as a summer intern at a McDonald's. The benefits of your store are really good."

"Although it is indeed quite high, how can you afford such an expensive down jacket?"

Seeing the three people looking at the three down jackets with envy, Ye Wan suddenly remembered what Yang Fan had said just now.

"Is this all arranged by President Jiang?"

Upon closer thought, it seemed that Yang Fan only brought in three shopping bags today.

And then gave it all to yourself?

So is this a benefit shared by everyone, or is it like that subsidized meal card, which only you own?

Avoiding the thoughts that came to her mind, Ye Wan replied: "This is our store's New Year's Day benefit."

It was obvious that the three of them didn't believe Ye Wan's words at all.

Several people looked at her with wide eyes, suspicion clearly written on their faces, as if they had heard some fairy tale.

"What, are you serious?" One of the girls opened her mouth in surprise, with a look of doubt on her face, "Can the New Year's Day benefits be so good? How come I have never heard of a milk tea shop giving out such expensive down jackets?"

"The welfare is so good? Could it be a high-end imitation?" Another girl frowned, carefully looking at the down jacket, and muttered quietly, "The technology of high-end imitation is very advanced nowadays, maybe it's just a fake."

"Yeah, that's impossible. These three pieces of clothing could pay you several months' salary." The third girl echoed, with a hint of jealousy and suspicion in her eyes.

Ye Wan felt her head buzzing as she listened to their conversations.

An inexplicable feeling of irritability and uneasiness came over me.

Then, a twisted and awkward feeling surged in her heart, and her eyes slowly fell on the cotton coat she was wearing.

This cotton coat was bought for her by her mother in town when she was admitted to university in order to prevent her from being laughed at in front of her classmates.

That was the money my mother saved after living frugally for a long time.

When buying clothes, her mother's eyes were full of reluctance, but more of it was love and expectations for her.

This is one of the few new clothes she has ever had since she was a child, and she has always cherished it.

When Yang Fan handed it to her just now, she thought it was just an ordinary cotton coat.

We were very happy and excited for a long time along the way.

After all, she usually doesn't want to spend money on buying new clothes.

But now she is told that these three pieces of clothing will cost several thousand dollars.

Although these three pieces of clothing were given to her, she still couldn't help feeling a little distressed in her heart.

This must be the stereotype that is ingrained in the bones of poor people, Ye Wan thought silently in her heart.

For poor people, clothes and food are not the most desired things in their lives.

Because they have been living in an environment of material scarcity for a long time.

His tolerance for material things has reached an extremely high level.

If these three valuable down jackets were given to the poor families in the countryside.

They might accept it out of politeness with a smile on their face.

But perhaps in the blink of an eye, you will blame or even condemn the person who sent the clothes for spending so much money on these "useless" things in their eyes.

They can wear shabby clothes and don't care whether they look clean or decent.

They can also endure hunger just to save money to buy the most basic necessities of life, such as white rice.

However, when faced with help from other people, what they desire most is actually financial donations.

Because that means improving a family's life.

It allows children to be well fed and clothed, and it allows those long overdue bills to be paid.

If we exchange these three down jackets for a few thousand dollars and give them that, they will definitely be more grateful.

Because for them, those few thousand dollars might be the living expenses that they could only earn after a whole year of hard work.

Realizing that she had such narrow-minded thoughts at this moment, Ye Wan suddenly felt a sense of inferiority rising from the bottom of her heart.

The painful emotions also spread.

She slowly lowered her head, as if trying to hide herself and not let others see her embarrassment and awkwardness.

In fact, doesn't she also want to wear beautiful clothes and be a decent person like other classmates?

She felt useless.

Why do you have such thoughts? Why can't you just accept this gift as generously as everyone else?

In fact, she also wants to be a decent person.

However, the living environment from childhood to adulthood is like an invisible shackle.

The background of her original family firmly imprisoned her thoughts and behaviors, creating her current rigid thinking pattern.

She didn't know how to change and could only struggle silently in her heart.

Ye Wan shook her head vigorously, trying to get rid of the messy and fixed ideas that were holding her back.

He raised his head, forced a smile on his face, and replied, "I don't know either. You know, I don't usually have access to these. But this is a gift from the store. No matter what brand it is, I'm very happy."

Almost none of the three of them doubted what Ye Wan said.

If Ye Wan was replaced by a beautiful woman, they would definitely have wild thoughts.

I felt that there must be some unspeakable secret, or Ye Wan had used some means to get such good benefits.
