Chapter 54 Debasement
"Why are you so clear with me?"

Li Yingtang: "The shoes are expensive."

"The bracelet and earrings cost quite a bit of money." Wu Hong always remembered Li Yingtang's contribution.

"You take care of the needlework and other things. I'll just take the material. That's all. I have other things to do." Li Yingtang politely expelled the guest.

Wu Hong heard it and left tactfully.

Li Yingtang told Qin Xian not to keep dinner for her, and then went into the city to look for treasures in the market.

I didn’t meet the baby I liked, so I just rode my bike around and had fun.

I also bought some cloth and cotton, as well as rice paper and paint, with the intention of painting a few paintings, framed them, and hanging them when the new house is renovated.

At noon, I passed by Xiqian Street where the Ding family lived, and after much consideration I decided to pay them a visit.

After picking out a gift at a small department store on a nearby street, he knocked on the Ding family’s door.

The auntie opened the door again and recognized her: "It's you, girl. What's your name? I'm sorry last time, you didn't tell me you were Xuanxuan's friend, and if you were dressed as elegantly as you are today, I would definitely not lock you up."

Li Yingtang was dressed conservatively today.

A long brown cotton coat and loose black pants.

Pair it with a pair of regular suede leather cotton shoes.

But she has a good temperament and is tall. Even if she covers her mouth and nose with a scarf, she still gets a lot of attention when walking on the street.

She almost laughed out of anger when she heard that. She guessed that Ding Xuan had gone home and told this man about it, but he was not convinced. He was apologizing now just to report to Ding Xuan, but his attitude was not sincere at all. Moreover, he implicitly belittled her last outfit, and it was obvious that he looked down on her.

The other party is definitely not Ding Xuan’s elder.

Because no elder will repeatedly bring bad luck to the younger generation.

And she didn't want to tolerate the other party, so she retorted: "In my opinion, your dress is not much more exquisite than mine that day." She pushed the cart into the door.

Aunt Lu's expression was cracked. After closing the door, she followed Li Yingtang and said, "Miss, just park the car here. I'll carry the things."

"Thank you." Li Yingtang parked the car and followed the other party through three doors and into the main hall.

Aunt Lu put down her things and poured tea to entertain her: "Girl, please feel free. Xuanxuan is with my daughter. I'll go and call them over." She left.

Li Yingtang glanced at his aunt's back and thought, I'm not looking for your daughter, why did you call her?
Two minutes later.

Ding Xuan and a girl in her early twenties entered the living room. They had square faces, regular features, and were wearing army green clothes that looked like military uniforms, but they were not, because some well-off people in the village also wore them, and it was said to be the most stylish formal wear nowadays.

Ding Xuan introduced: "This is Aunt Lu's daughter, Feng Mei." She then said to Feng Mei: "This is my friend, Li Yingtang. She is pretty, isn't she?"

Feng Mei looked her up and down: "I have a friend who is prettier than her."

Ding Xuan didn't respond to Feng Mei's words, and pulled Li Yingtang to sit down: "I have something to do at school this afternoon, will you accompany me? It's just one class, it will be quick, and the class will end at 2:30, and we can go shopping."

“Are you a college student?”

"Before this summer vacation, I was. Now that I've graduated, I've been assigned to teach at a nearby high school. By the way, I bought a lot of books before. If you can't finish reading them, I'll give them to you." Ding Xuan asked Aunt Lu to get them: "It's on the first vertical row of the shelf in my study, in the middle."

Li Yingtang was about to refuse, but suddenly remembered that the last time she came to see Ding Xuan, she had tied a pile of old books on the back seat of her car. Ding Xuan must have seen it and bought some books for her.

Thinking about it this way, I feel that Ding Xuan is a really nice person except that she is talkative.

Maybe she did misunderstand.

People make friends based on chemistry, not conditions.

She thanked him: "Okay, you're very kind."

"We are friends." Ding Xuan said again: "Feng Mei, what books do you usually read? I will give you a few too."

Feng Mei straightened her back and said, "No, I'm not interested in the book you're reading. I love reading history books just like Brother Ding. I'm currently reading Records of the Grand Historian and have already reached the Northern and Southern Dynasties." Li Yingtang almost spit out his tea.

She forced herself to swallow it, choking and coughing.

His face turned red.

Ding Xuan patted her back and asked, "Is the tea not tasting good?"

"What's going on?" Ding Ying came in from outside.

Ding Xuan said, "Yingtang choked on her tea."

"I'm much better." Li Yingtang stopped coughing. Aunt Lu brought the book, put it down and went to entertain Ding Ying.

Ding Xuan turned around and glared at Aunt Lu: "Yingtang, take a look, do you like it?"

Li Yingtang flipped through the pages casually. They were all novels that were later adapted into TV series and were worth reading. "Thank you for your trouble. I quite like them."

"Ms. Yintang, what books do you usually read?" When Aunt Lu heard her daughter introduce the Records of the Grand Historian, and since Ding Ying had returned home, she intended to let her daughter and Li Yingtang compete in front of Ding Ying to see who had read more books.

Because Ding Ying said that he didn't have high requirements for a wife, as long as he had good feelings for her and they had similar interests.

She couldn't stop the girl from coming to her house, but if such a beautiful girl was compared to a straw bag by her daughter, her daughter's image would also be improved with Ding Ying.

Li Yingtang said seriously: "I also read the Records of the Grand Historian. I read about the Qing Dynasty, where Empress Dowager Cixi fought against Sun Wukong."

Ding Ying just laughed like crazy.

Ding Xuan also realized that the Records of the Grand Historian was a book from the Western Han Dynasty, so how could it possibly record the Northern and Southern Dynasties? Feng Mei had never read the book, and she pretended to know something, thinking that others would praise her for being great.

Aunt Lu and Feng Mei didn't know what was going on. They just saw Ding Ying laughing like that and started laughing too.

The scene suddenly became funny.

Li Yingtang didn't smile. Ding Xuan felt ashamed and said coldly, "Yingtang, let's go."

"Okay." Li Yingtang turned to Aunt Lu and said, "Where are the things you helped me get?"

Aunt Lu stopped laughing and paused in the middle of her words: "You are not sending me."

She felt that Li Yingtang would change his words and say that they were all gifts for the sake of face.

Although the boss would take the initiative to ask her to take out the things, Li Yingtang would definitely lose face.

"It turns out you can't tell the difference between gifts and non-gifts. Blame me, I thought you were like the aunt in another friend's family, who could automatically distinguish the gifts from guests. If I had known, I would have told you that the food and drinks were gifts. The cotton cloth, rice paper and paint are my own." Li Yingtang pointed out Aunt Lu's incompetence in a few words.

Playing tricks with her! Not good enough.

Ding Xuan became even angrier. This auntie was always smearing her face: "Auntie Lu, why don't you take out Yingtang's things quickly?"

"Huh." Aunt Lu was also dumbfounded. She didn't expect Li Yingtang to criticize her directly. After she reacted, she quickly took out Li Yingtang's things.

Li Yingtang took it, said hello to Ding Ying, and left with Ding Xuan.

Ding Ying also prepared to return to his room.

Aunt Lu said, "Xiaoying, you also thought Miss Yintang was funny just now, right? She looks pretty good, but she doesn't speak as well as our Meimei."

Feng Mei smiled at Ding Ying and said, "Brother Ding, you don't know how good that girl is at bragging. I said I read the Records of the Grand Historian up to the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and she insisted on mentioning a few more dynasties than I did."

Ding Ying: "." It turned out that she said it on purpose. "She is Xuanxuan's friend, please don't talk about her behind her back. Also, do you really not know the difference between the guests' things, or are you deliberately embarrassing them? If you do this again next time, I will tell Grandpa. Miss Feng, this is where your mother works, please don't come in and out casually in the future." He said and left.

The panicked mother and daughter were left looking at each other.
