Chapter 526 Meeting Zhou Gu 1
After using up so much for their baths, the bar of soap was still sizeable; not much had been used. Sharing one with Zhou Siyu shouldn’t be a problem, right?
If push comes to shove, when she saves up enough money, she’ll buy soap for Zhou Siyu to use as well.
Seemingly perceiving her thoughts, Zhou Siyu curled her lip and said, "You should also ask your family for money to buy one, or else Tian Caiyan will look down on you. Haven’t you seen the way Tian Caiyan despises others? She doesn’t like poor people."
"My mom won’t give me money for that." Did she not want to buy it? If she hadn’t gotten into Second High, she wouldn’t even be able to attend school. In her parents’ eyes, all these things were useless.
"Are you dumb?" Zhou Siyu looked at her disdainfully, "Who told you to say it’s for buying soap? Just tell them the school is charging for some textbooks, or make up any excuse, really. Remember to ask for a bit more, so you can buy other things too."
"I’ll try," Zhao Xinlan said, uncertain if she could get the money. After all, it wasn’t that her parents were unwilling to give it to her; it’s that their financial situation really was that bad.
As they chatted, they quickly finished dressing. Zhou Siyu, carrying her dirty clothes, said, "You head back to the dorm first! Take the soap back for Tian Caiyan, she’s going to bathe later. I’ll return after I finish washing these outdoors."
She didn’t bring her older clothes to school and currently had only one set to change into. If she didn’t wash them, she would have nothing to wear the next evening.
"Hurry up! The school turns off the lights at ten," reminded Zhao Xinlan, carrying the soap and sniffing it as she walked; it smelled so good, she had never experienced such delightful fragrance before.
