The boss nodded. “If you meet those two customers again, remember to apologize to them once more. It’s not that they can’t see your perfunctory att.i.tude when you apologized before. They just don’t want to make things difficult for you in public,” the boss explained.
Little Wu nodded, indicating that he understood.
On the other side, Liu Hua was still grumbling angrily.
“Wanwan, what right do they have to say that about us? Although the waiter apologized to us in the end, why do I feel so uncomfortable?”
Liu Hua angrily kicked a stone far away.
Xia Wan smiled and rubbed her head. “The reason why those people speak up for the waiter isn’t necessarily because they have a good relationship with the waiter. It’s because they want to show their tolerance and generosity by criticizing us as bystanders. If this happened to them, they might be very angry.”
“However, we don’t have to be too calculating with them about this matter.
Being angry is not good for one’s health. Remember not to get angry because of unrelated people in the future. The people who can affect your emotions must be people you care about. As for those people we don’t know, they look down on us and criticize us behind our backs. What does it have to do with us? Do we need them to think highly of us?”
Initially, Liu Hua was still a little unwilling to give up, but after hearing Xia Wan’s words, he suddenly came to his senses. Yes, these people were just strangers. They happened to meet today, and they might not meet again in the future. Why should she feel wronged and embarra.s.sed because of these people’s words?
Liu Hua reacted immediately and held Xia Wan’s arm affectionately. ‘Wanwan, you’re right. I’m not angry anymore.”
In the end, the meal did not happen. Xia Wan brought Liu Hua to apply for an agricultural bank card. She deposited all 4500 yuan into the card and instructed Liu Hua to put it away.
Xia Wan originally intended to send Liu Hua back to the village so she would not get robbed. However, Liu Hua swore she could run fast and had great strength. Ordinary people would be unable to do anything to her.
“If it were any other time, I wouldn’t have bothered,” Xia Wan insisted. “But now, you have a bank card worth 4500 yuan on you. I’m really worried about letting you go home alone.”
In the end, Liu Hua did not argue with Xia Wan and still let her send her home. Liu Hua also wanted to invite Xia Wan inside, but Xia Wan rejected her.
Just as Xia Wan was walking back, she happened to pa.s.s by Li Jin’s house. Song Yan was walking out of the house. Seeing Xia Wan, Song Yan was stunned for a moment. Xia Wan had changed a lot from before. She was wearing a clean white shirt, denim shorts, and a pair of light sneakers. Her ponytail was tied up, making her look youthful and lively.
Xia Wan’s skin was already fair, and this outfit made her skin look even fairer. It was very different from her old-fashioned dressing.
Back when they were at home, Xia Hail s family handed over all their money to
Li Jin. Therefore, other than their daily living expenses and textbook fees, Xia Wan and the others had no extra money to buy beautiful and fashionable clothes. Li Jin often said that the three girls in the family could take turns wearing the clothes, so it was often Xia Ru’s clothes. When Xia Wan wore them, most of the clothes were outdated and washed until they turned white.
Xia Wan glanced at her, but she had no intention of greeting her. She continued walking forward. When they split up, the two families were so unhappy. In Xia Wan’s opinion, it was no different from cutting off relations. Therefore, when facing Song Yan, she didn’t have to hypocritically call her aunt.
However, Song Yan hurriedly ran two steps faster and stopped Xia Wan. A fawning smile appeared on Song Yan’s face. “Wanwan, I haven’t seen you for the past few days. You’ve been dressed very fashionably recently. I heard that your stall’s business is very good. Can you get a few sets of clothes for your Sister Xia Ru?”
Xia Wan stared at her with a faint smile. “If I remember correctly, Xia Ru has already run away from home and cheated Li Jin of her money, right?”
Song Yan paused and smiled. “Then you can choose a few sets of clothes for me. When the time comes, I’ll tell everyone that you gave them to me. It’ll also make you look good..”
