Qi Xiaofang, that bitch, seeing Su Xiaotian gaining favor in the dorm, and even becoming the class monitor with authority, she's now fawning over her.
This kind of person needs to be taught a lesson.
If she can't deal with Su Xiaotian, can't she deal with a country bumpkin like her?
At this moment, Yin Ruyun didn't reflect at all on whether she had done something wrong.
She also had no idea that interaction between people requires the most basic respect.
Because she had Ai Yu by her side all these years, she had completely forgotten what normal human interaction should be like.
Qi Xiaofang came to the city from the countryside, feeling lost and inferior.
After enduring countless disdainful glances, she entered the dorm and met the eloquent Yin Ruyun.
Yin Ruyun could talk the dead into the living.
The naive Qi Xiaofang was so bewildered by Yin Ruyun's words that she was almost ready to consider Yin Ruyun a confidante.
She wished she could pour her heart out to Yin Ruyun.
She also believed Yin Ruyun would treat her well. But when she saw the dismissive look in Yin Ruyun's eyes, Qi Xiaofang sensitively felt that Yin Ruyun's words and actions were not in sync.
Fortunately, she was just naive, not stupid, and knew when to cut her losses.
After much thought, Qi Xiaofang quietly observed the other girls in the dorm.
From Su Xiaotian's attitude towards the other dorm mates, she saw sincerity.
Especially when Su Xiaotian and the other city girls treated Qian Xiaobei and Li Jianhong, who were also from the countryside like her, their attitude was consistently good.
She felt that Su Xiaotian was the one truly worth befriending.
But due to past events, she knew it would be difficult to integrate into this small group.
If Qian Xiaobei and Li Jianhong hadn't proactively invited her to join them for lunch, and if she hadn't gravitated towards them, she might not have even had a chance to interact.
Now, an opportunity had arisen. For the straightforward Qi Xiaofang, this wasn't about currying favor with Su Xiaotian.
She felt it was a way to make amends for her previous actions!
Su Xiaotian was a very sincere person, and Qi Xiaofang was as direct as a ramrod.
If not for the initial unpleasantness, these two might have become good friends.
It could only be said that fate played a trick, causing Qi Xiaofang to see Yin Ruyun and create a rift between her and Su Xiaotian.
Su Xiaotian gazed at Qi Xiaofang, and had to praise her, saying her needlework was truly excellent.
"Xiaofang, your needlework is so good, it's almost as if it was done by a sewing machine," Qian Xiaobei exclaimed. She had started learning needlework at five or six, but after more than ten years, her results were always just satisfactory.
If there were no comparison, her work might have been acceptable, but with Qi Xiaofang present, she felt her own skills were simply not presentable.
Su Xiaotian also nodded, "This skill is truly remarkable, even more delicate than what my mother and grandmother do."
As Su Xiaotian said this, she subconsciously thought that her Aunt Taohua seemed to need someone to do delicate work, and had reportedly interviewed several people, all to no avail.
She wondered if Qi Xiaofang had any interest in earning some money.
Although Qi Xiaofang hadn't said much in the past two days, Su Xiaotian could tell that Qi Xiaofang's family conditions were definitely not good.
Anyone whose family conditions were passable wouldn't choose to buy only the largest portions and cheapest priced vegetables every day.
If she could earn some living expenses by helping her Aunt Taohua with some work, it might be a good option.
However, Su Xiaotian didn't blurt out these words.
Firstly, her relationship with Qi Xiaofang wasn't that close, and they didn't know each other very well.
Secondly, university students in this era were generally very proud, and if she spoke rashly, it might hurt Qi Xiaofang's self-esteem, which would be counterproductive.
Often, it's better to do less than more; what you think is good for others might not actually be good for them.
Qi Xiaofang, however, was quite forthright, offering only a faint smile to her roommates' praise.
"My family's conditions aren't good, and I eat a lot, so our situation is even worse than other families in the village. Plus, I'm the only girl in my family, so if I don't do needlework, who will?"
In essence, this skill was honed through practice.
She started doing some mending and patching at four or five, and by the time she was ten, she could sew clothes herself as long as they were cut.
As she grew older, all the needlework in the family fell to her.
If she had any free time, she would also help neighbors and educated youths with their needlework, exchanging it for a few potatoes or half a bowl of flour to supplement her family's income.
This situation only improved somewhat after her brothers got married and brought their wives home.
Su Xiaotian hadn't expected Qi Xiaofang to so frankly admit that her family's poor conditions led her to do needlework.
But she felt that diligent practice was one thing, and talent was often another.
"It's nothing to boast about. People in the city now buy clothes to wear, who still makes clothes!" Yin Ruyun, however, couldn't stand it any longer and said sarcastically.
Doing needlework, something done by commoners, was it really something a university student should brag about?
Indeed, after she said this, a fleeting look of embarrassment crossed Qi Xiaofang's face.
Yin Ruyun felt triumphant!
In the dorm, not only Qi Xiaofang, but also Li Jianhong and Qian Xiaobei looked displeased.
It seemed that only the three of them came from the countryside in this dorm.
Yin Ruyun's words were clearly aimed at the three of them.
Only the three of them wore handmade clothes, while everyone else wore ready-made garments.
Was this the difference between country people and city people?
"Just because you have money doesn't mean you're superior! Always talking about city people and country people. If it weren't for the farmers growing crops, what would we eat? You're a university student, and you lack this basic understanding. I think you shouldn't be studying at university, you should go to the vast countryside for some tempering, then you wouldn't say such things!" Zhao Hongmei retorted sharply and impatiently.
This Yin Ruyun must have a screw loose, couldn't she just behave herself in the dorm?
The atmosphere was harmonious, and she had to jump out and seek attention!
She had never met anyone more annoying.
If Yin Ruyun hadn't reminded her earlier, would Tang Minmin have remembered to directly switch Su Xiaotian's clothes?
She was still holding onto that resentment.
"You..." Yin Ruyun was cut short and couldn't retort.
Moreover, facing Zhao Hongmei, Yin Ruyun felt a bit intimidated. This girl's family conditions seemed to be quite good, and she had a personality that didn't give face to anyone.
"Alright, alright, Hongmei, don't get worked up over irrelevant people. Let's hurry and change clothes. Don't you still not know how to tie your leggings?" Dong Yan'an quickly intervened to play the peacemaker.
