Chapter 218: Chapter 218 Isn’t it Trash?

Knowing the young girl was shy, Li Chunhua didn’t pursue the topic further. She handed the clothes to Shen Mianmian.

"Mianmian, these are clothes and shoes for you to wear for the New Year. Go and try them on to see if they fit."

"For me?"

Shen Mianmian stood transfixed, looking at the bag of clothes.

Although Zhao Xianlai was the village head, his family wasn’t really wealthy; they only had a stable salary, and even that wasn’t as high as what one could earn working outside the village.

Why would he buy clothes for her?

"Quick, take them and try them on."

Seeing Shen Mianmian standing still, Li Chunhua gave her a meaningful glance, and for some reason, Shen Mianmian suddenly understood.

"Thank you, Auntie."

She took the clothes and went inside.

In the kitchen, Zhou Lanfang, who had planned to act as if she hadn’t seen Li Chunhua giving the clothes, couldn’t hold back anymore. She stepped forward with a spatula in hand and asked, "Chunhua, you bought clothes for Mianmian?"

Shen Jianhua and Zhou Siyu also came out.

One with a look of bewilderment, the other filled with envy.

Li Chunhua smiled and said, "A friend of Xianlai’s, who owns a clothing factory. There happened to be some clothes that weren’t selling well, so he got a set for Mianmian to wear."

Turns out, it was just some unsellable leftovers given to Shen Mianmian.

Zhou Lanfang and Zhou Siyu felt a bit better inside.

"Thank you, Sister Li," Shen Jianhua said with a slightly embarrassed smile. They each had a new piece of clothing for the New Year while only Mianmian didn’t; he already felt somewhat guilty about it. Now that Li Chunhua had brought an entire set, he felt somewhat ashamed.

"It’s nothing, we didn’t spend any money." These clothes weren’t bought by her; she just ran an errand, performing a good deed.

Initially, when she heard that Mianmian was going to take the high school entrance exams, she was worried that Mianmian had the aspiration but not the ability, since studying required intellect.

To her surprise, the girl had performed well and even won a progress award in such a short time.

For so many years, no one in the entire village had achieved such excellence.

Not like Siyu, who caused a commotion everywhere but ended with nothing to show for it.

Shen Jianhua smiled awkwardly once more.

"Auntie, these clothes and shoes fit just right and are especially warm." Shen Mianmian walked out of the house radiantly happy, in a peach-red down coat that made her complexion especially rosy.

The cotton leather shoes on her feet were also particularly warming.

Having lived two lifetimes, setting aside the shoes and clothes gifted by Xiu Min in her previous life, this was the first time she wore something so nice.

If she remembered correctly, down coats had just become fashionable in this era. He Nan had actually bought her one, which must have cost a pretty penny!

Her heart, gradually frozen by familial coldness, suddenly felt warmth again.

In this world, there was still someone who was so good to her.

"It looks really nice."

Li Chunhua’s eyes lit up seeing Shen Mianmian in the new clothes. He Nan, a brutish man, had quite the eye for clothing.

The clothes not only fit well but also looked beautiful.

Mianmian looked like a fairy descended to earth in those clothes.

She herself admired them.

"Didn’t you say it was just unsellable junk from someone’s factory?" Zhou Lanfang’s eyes blazed with anger. Did the Li family own a mine or something, to be able to give Shen Mianmian such nice clothes?

She had seen them in town the other day and they cost at least a hundred or more.

That was half a year’s salary for Shen Jianhua!

"What a thing to say," Li Chunhua was not pleased. "What do you mean by junk? Could a person who owns a clothing factory give us junk?"

If this was junk, then what she had worn before must have been garbage?

Who’s junk looks like this?
