Chapter 324: Chapter 324: Encountering Wang Erfeng

Having been disappointed just moments before, Zhou Lanfang was now enthused by Wang Erfeng’s warmth and immediately decided to buy clothes from this stall.

"Siyu, take a look and see which one you like. Try it on."

"Right, feel free to try any outfits. You like one? Try it on. Your daughter is so pretty; she needs to wear something beautiful," Wang Erfeng praised Zhou Siyu while eyeing her up and down.

When Wang Erfeng spoke nastily, she was really offensive, but when she wanted to butter someone up, she could flatter them to the skies.

The phrase "your daughter" was music to Zhou Lanfang’s ears, and she nodded repeatedly, "Right, my Siyu is not only pretty but also a good student. She will be able to attend university in the future."

Feeling proud from such praise, Zhou Siyu held her chin up a bit higher, looking somewhat arrogant.

When the topic turned to children, Wang Erfeng also chimed in, "My son is also a good student, always coming first in his exams in the city. He won’t just get into any university, he will get into Beijing University."

Beijing University?

A light flashed in Zhou Siyu’s eyes; that was the school she dreamt of attending. Yet she knew that with her academic results, it was completely out of her reach.

Unexpectedly, the son of a clothing seller was capable of such a feat.

"Your son is also that good at his studies?" Zhou Lanfang asked with a touch of jealousy, "Attending school in the city must cost quite a bit of money, right?"

"Of course, it’s more expensive than in the countryside!" Wang Erfeng said boastfully. "The money it costs for one year in the city could support three or four children studying in the village."

Exactly!

It’s not enough for a child just to be a good student; you also need to have the financial means. Otherwise, you simply can’t afford their education.

The smile on Zhou Lanfang’s face was not as bright anymore.

Considering the considerable cost of city schooling, she needed to save up, no way she was going to let her child suffer. Otherwise, Siyu would be looked down upon by those little brats.

As Wang Erfeng was basking in self-praise, she didn’t notice the change in Zhou Lanfang’s expression. "Not only is my son good at his studies and good-looking, but he’s also hardworking. He’ll come by soon to bring me my meal. Take your time looking at the clothes; you’ll see my son in a moment."

As she spoke, she glanced towards the street corner, thinking, why hasn’t my son arrived yet?

If only he would come, then she could show this mother and daughter that she wasn’t lying.

Zhou Lanfang forced a smile, losing interest in rifling through the clothes. She had wanted to show off and receive some compliments to satisfy her vanity but ran into someone even more boastful than herself.

And annoyingly, this person was a business owner whose family situation was better than her own, so Zhou Lanfang didn’t dare to confront her.

At this moment, Zhou Siyu was also somewhat distracted. A boy who was good at his studies, good-looking, and from a well-off family was exactly her ideal type.

After hearing that Wang Erfeng’s son would come by soon, Siyu slowed down in sifting through the clothes, casually picking them out, no longer in a hurry.

She was coming to the city to study later in the year, and if this son was as good as she claimed, getting to know him wouldn’t be a loss at all.

Perhaps...

With a glint in her eye, the corner of Zhou Siyu’s mouth curved into a sly smile. She picked up a garment and asked Zhou Lanfang with a sweet voice, "Mom, does this look good on me?"

The term "mom" made Zhou Lanfang beam with pride, and she nodded again and again, "It looks good, it looks good. My Siyu looks good in anything."

Wang Erfeng quickly agreed, "The young lady is beautiful, and she looks good in any clothes. You’re so lucky! Having such a beautiful daughter, she’s bound to marry into a good family."
