Chapter 12 - 011: Destination
Ye Ling couldn’t believe her mother had the heart to talk to her. After some thinking and considering past life’s events, she vaguely understood the motive behind the timing, and looked up at her mother without showing any emotion.
Pretending to be dumb and dazed.
Bai Xue struggled to start the conversation, yet her daughter in front of her remained silent, as if punching through cotton, using all her strength without getting any reaction, which instead made her feel suffocated and hurt.
Fortunately, over the years in the compound, Bai Xue had developed a skill, though not much else—she could smile no matter how her opponent behaved. Therefore, in everyone’s impression, Bai Xue was a person without temper, like a lump of dough that could be kneaded any way you want.
So, despite being annoyed inside, Bai Xue quickly calmed down and smiled amiably, saying, "You’re such a child, when we were buying clothes just now, how did you find that salesperson?"
"Ah," Ye Ling seemed to just realize, and then, sounding rather infuriating without backing down, said, "She was quite nice, seeing that the clothes Mom bought for me didn’t fit, she even volunteered to help pick out others."
Bai Xue twitched her mouth and squeezed words out through clenched teeth, "I’m not talking about the person, I’m talking about her job. Nowadays, jobs like theirs are highly valued, they can easily get hold of fabric and clothes, unlike us who need ration tickets to buy things like canned food, without tickets you can’t buy anything, but they are different, they have their own ways, many people suck up to them."
"Moreover, such places aren’t easily accessible for everyone to work at." As Bai Xue spoke, she kept her gaze fixed on her daughter, wanting to see her reaction.
Ye Ling’s young and naive face showed a faint reaction, slow to understand, before letting out an "oh," indicating that she understood but still said nothing more.
In her past life, when her mother persuaded her to quit school and work, Ye Ling remembered she did not react this way. Previously, she was vain, tempted by the idea of earning money to buy many fashionable clothes, praised by people in the compound for being sensible and earning early, and upon hearing the family was struggling financially, her mother wanted her to help alleviate the burden, she immediately agreed to quit school, ending her studies.
