Chapter 348 - 353 All is due to bad habits_1
Not long after Qin Muchuan had left, Lin Xiangwan rose from her bed.
She took a bath and then put on some makeup.
While she was dallying in the shower room, she saw Qin Muchuan’s clothes in the laundry basket!
Out of habit, she picked up his clothes and started feeling in the pockets.
Butler Liu walked in, seeing her actions, he smiled. "Miss is so meticulous. However, the young master is also very careful, he would never leave anything in his pockets!"
"I know, but I have OCD. I get restless if I see dirty clothes and don’t check their pockets. I’m always afraid that something important will be damaged in the wash. This habit started when I was at school. At that time, a kind aunt came to the orphanage, and she liked me very much. She secretly gave me two hundred yuan and asked me to save it! Two hundred yuan was a tremendous sum then, I was practically fainting!"
Butler Liu just listened without interrupting. Miss’s past was very pitiful, but now she had money, and status. She could bring up her past struggles when she indicates it is okay to discuss them, but others in her current situation should know better than to broach the topic.
"Two hundred yuan was really important to me. I couldn’t let the dean know that I had this money. If he knew, he would confiscate it, saying that it was a public fund, but I think it would certainly fatten their own pockets. I had to hide it from other children, because they would steal it for sure. So, I hid the two hundred yuan inside a quilted jacket. Winter passed and it was time to wash the jacket and put it away. Like other children, I washed clothes in the washing room, which was quite big, with a long row of faucets. I felt invincible when I washed clothes there! I scrubbed hard and washed rigorously. After uncountable washes, the clothes were finally spun dry and hung outside!"
"Then... the money was washed without being taken out?" Butler Liu asked, following her story.
Lin Xiangwan nodded vigorously. "Yes, absolutely! It wasn’t until after the clothes were hung on the clothesline that I remembered. I grabbed a chair like a madwoman, took down the clothes, and pulled out the money. By then, it had been washed into a ball."
