Chapter 4: The Laundry Powder Conference

  "Zhou Yi, Tang Ling!" In the distance, Sutu Wen waved at them. Just as everyone had dispersed and turned around, they couldn't find the two of them!

  When they saw Sutou Wen and others each holding several bags of laundry detergent, Tang Ling and Zhou Yi exchanged a glance and burst out laughing!

  Detergent is really expensive!

  Tang Ling looked at them and couldn't help but re-examine her classmates in her heart!

  Zhou Yi bought over a dozen lottery tickets and only won two bags of laundry detergent, while these people had several bags in their hands. It seems that they didn't buy fewer lottery tickets. In her previous life, she was inferior and timid, so she couldn't play with people like Sutu Wen at all! Looking at it this way, the family backgrounds of these classmates are quite good!

  "Zhou Yi, did you win a prize? That's amazing!"

  The diligent one is still diligent! Wang Zicong handed the laundry detergent to Qifang, who was also Tang Ling's classmate and was good at sports. He had always liked following Wang Zicong around and could be considered her little follower.

  "I was just thinking of buying a lottery ticket, but I bought over 20 and didn't win any. Zhou Yi, you're really lucky, lend me your bike for a ride!"

  Wang Zicong smiled and spoke to Zhou Yi, while using his eyes to provoke Tang Ling! Humph! Why should Zhou Yi's car be pushed by her, Tang Ling? If anyone should push it, it should be him!

  Tang Ling listened and didn't say a word, she just raised an eyebrow and smiled meaningfully!

  Zhou Yi scratched his head and said apologetically, "This bicycle isn't mine, it was won by Tang Ling in a lottery!"

  "After some thought, he added another sentence, 'Both of these were won by her!'"

  "What? How is this possible!" Wang Zicong's incredulous shrieked, how could it be one of hers!

  "She's just 2 yuan, it's good if she can buy a lottery ticket! Zhou Yi, won't she borrow money from you?"

  "Tang Ling, are these two bicycles really yours? Wow! You're so lucky!" Si Tu Hao rushed to Tang Ling's side, his face full of excitement, he had just bought a bunch and won a pile of laundry detergent!

  "Come on, let's buy a few more, I haven't seen any of the other prizes except for the washing powder lottery!"

  Tang Ling couldn't help but laugh at this, as normally, Si Tu Hao was quite reliable, so why did he become so flustered just because of a lottery ticket?!

  "Cut! What's there to show off about!"

  Wang Zicong muttered discontentedly, his voice not loud, but audible to everyone present, "Zhou Yi, although your family is wealthy, you can't lend money recklessly. What if they don't pay back? Who will you go after?"

  Tang Ling is so poor and stingy, just by looking at her home you can tell they don't have much money, yet she still learns from others to buy lottery tickets!

  Situ Hao's face sank slightly after hearing this, Wang Zicong was a bit too much today, they were all classmates, how could she speak like that! The Situ and Wang families knew each other, so they played together more often, usually just thinking Wang Zicong was a bit arrogant, but her behavior today was really contemptible!

  Wang Zicong rolled his eyes at Tang Ling and sneered, "You're really shameless!"

  "No, she didn't borrow money from me, she bought the lottery ticket with her own money!"

  "Pay for herself? Can she afford it?"

  Wang Zicong glanced sideways at Tang Ling, wearing an old-fashioned sportswear and white sports shoes with peeling edges. She didn't believe that Tang Ling had so much money to buy lottery tickets!

  "Ah! I've finally found you!"

  Duan Yu ran far away, holding an electric rice cooker and rushing towards them wildly. The electric rice cooker was a bit big, held in both hands against his chest, but it didn't affect his speed at all. "How's the battle going? I'm quite lucky, got an electric rice cooker back!"

  "Whose cars are these? Not yours, is it?"

  Duan Yu saw everyone surrounding the bicycle and said, "Who's so arrogant! Hurry up, lend it to me for a ride. I've had my eye on this bike for a long time, it's better than mine!"

  Wang Zicong saw Duan Yu also taking an interest in Tang Ling's bicycle, and his heart sank even more, "It's just two broken bicycles, what's the big deal? Still have to borrow money to buy lottery tickets!"

  Duan Yu looked at Wang Zicong with a puzzled expression, "What's going on? Who borrowed money to buy lottery tickets?" He had just returned and hadn't noticed before, but now he realized that the atmosphere was somewhat off.

  Wang Zicong's chin pointed at Tang Ling and said, "Who else could it be!"

  At this time, even Sit Man also furrowed his brow, but did not speak up. In his eyes, such petty squabbles among children were not worth his attention.

  Zhou Yi really couldn't stand Wang Zicong's behavior, so he told Tang Ling the whole story from start to finish!

  Everyone was shocked to look at Tang Ling, digesting Zhou Yi's words just now. On the contrary, Wang Zicong heard that Tang Ling used 2 yuan to win a first prize and won several prizes in a row, but only spent 22 yuan, his face turned red and white.

  "What bad luck!"

  Zhou Yi listened and stared at Wang Zicong, smiling at Tang Ling, "Don't be on the same level as her!"

  Wang Zicong saw this and puffed up his small mouth, staring at Zhou Yi in some disbelief. He actually helped Tang Ling speak!

  "Go home and eat more grapes, it's better than having a sour heart!"

  Tang Ling looked at Wang Zicong with a blank expression and spoke in a low tone.

  Everyone was stunned, Tang Ling either didn't speak or when she did, her words were really vicious!

  "Haha! Not at all, Wang Zicong is a typical case of sour grapes! He should go home and eat some grapes! Haha!"

  Situ Hao burst out laughing and turned his head to take a more interesting look at Tang Ling, previously thinking she was dull, but unexpectedly her words were quite interesting!

  Wang Zicong saw everyone laughing at her and got angry with a slightly red eye circle. The little follower, Qi Fang, saw it and hurried forward to coax her!

  "My goodness! Classmate, I just heard over there that someone was selling prizes, and it turned out to be you!" Duan Yu's face was full of surprise, then asked with great curiosity, "I heard the buyers almost got into a fight! Is it true?"

  Situ Hao's eyes rolled around, looking at Tang Ling with a somewhat sly smile. He didn't expect Tang Ling to have such a good head for economics. He had always been interested in these things, although his family hoped he would follow in his brother's footsteps and take the imperial examination path when he grew up. However, he still preferred to be more carefree, as the imperial examination path really wasn't suitable for his personality!

  "Hey, deskmate! Can I borrow your bike for a ride?" Duan Yu exclaimed, hugging an electric rice cooker and winking at Tang Ling.

  It's clear that everyone has neglected Wang Zicong, the little peacock. Tang Ling still doesn't like to talk, but everyone feels that she is not as difficult to approach as before today!

  Tang Ling made a polite gesture and lent her bicycle to Duan Yu, who excitedly handed the electric rice cooker in his hand to Tang Ling and went for a test drive.

  Tang Ling speechlessly stared at the electric rice cooker that was forcefully stuffed into her arms!

  She's regretting it now!

  Looking at the N bags of laundry detergent in everyone's hands, Tang Ling opened the lid of the electric rice cooker in her arms. For some reason, she suddenly remembered a certain advertising slogan and shouted to the crowd with a playful tone, "Quickly come into the pot, the laundry detergent family is holding an emergency meeting!"

  Everyone looked left and right, and one by one they hastily threw the washing powder in their hands into the pot. Sutu Hao covered it with a lid, nodded solemnly, seemingly very satisfied, "The meeting content must do a good job of keeping secrets!" After finishing, he playfully winked at Tang Ling.

  Tang Ling nodded seriously and said, "Consciousness is ahead of schedule, worthy of praise!"

  Everyone burst out laughing after hearing that, and the awkwardness caused by Wang Ziqiong earlier was also lifted. Only Wang Ziqiong's face turned bright red with anger on the side.

  "Time's almost up, let's head back!" Si Tuwen glanced at his watch and casually reminded everyone that if he hadn't participated in the competition today, he wouldn't have skipped class. For him, academics were very important right now.

  Everyone had no opinion, and the group walked to school with a swaying motion. Tang Ling took a deep look at Si Tuwen's left hand, if she hadn't seen it wrong, that kid was wearing a Tian Xiang sports watch, her eyebrows furrowed, as if in thought.
