The female supporting role of the system wants to counterattack

Chapter 10 Selling Lipstick 1
Ruan Mengmeng rubbed her hands, and said softly, "I didn't pick it. I searched many places but couldn't find that mushroom."

"So you came back empty-handed?"

Ruan Mengmeng nodded.

Ruan Mingyu murmured inexplicably, "That's really a pity, it seems that money is not so easy to earn."

Ruan Mengmeng hung her head and did not answer.

Seeing this, Ruan Mingyu went back to her room without opening her mouth.

After she left, Liu He dragged Ruan Mengmeng into her room, and said in a dignified voice, "Why do you suddenly want to earn money?"

Rolling her eyes, Ruan Mengmeng answered in a low voice, "Sister Mingyu is seriously ill, but the family can't even pay for the treatment. I'm worried that one day such a thing will happen to our family of four, so I want to Earn money and save it for later use.”

"Crow's mouth! Don't talk nonsense, your sister Mingyu's illness is accidental, it's not like people get sick all the time."

Ruan Mengmeng blinked and said, "Mom, you're not afraid of ten thousand, just in case. Don't you feel that you don't have any confidence because you don't have money on hand? You don't feel safe either."

Liu He was silent for a while, and then said, "Even if you earn money, this money will also be handed over to your grandmother, we can't keep it in our hands."

"Why can't you stay?"

"What we eat and use now is your grandmother's worry, and it's all her money. How can we hide money behind her back?"

"Mother, in all honesty, do you think our family of four's money is directly proportional to what our family of four do? Is what we do in a year only enough for food?"

"Of course not, there should be more."

"Mother thinks that our family can save money for a year, so the uncle's family should also save money, right? And grandparents should save a little more, right?"

"Yes." Liu He looked at her, seeming to have some unknown meaning.

Ruan Mengmeng said firmly, "The amount of money that we all have together for a year shouldn't be too little, right? If that's the case, why is sister Mingyu seriously ill but grandma can't afford the money?"

"This is because... because your third uncle needs to spend a lot of money to study, and all the money in mother's hand should be spent on him."

Ruan Mengmeng smiled, seemingly sarcastic, "Mother, don't you find it ridiculous that such a large group of us are working so hard just to help him study?"

"What's so ridiculous? Your third uncle is studying to honor our family. If he gets the honor one day, our family will be able to turn around. He can bring us such great benefits. If this is the case, then we will offer It’s only natural for him to read, right?”

Hearing her rebuttal, Ruan Mengmeng twitched the corners of her lips, and said quietly, "Mother said that my family would be able to turn around if my third uncle got the honor one day, but Mother never thought that if he is really capable, why would he be 27 years old? But you can't even pass the exam as a scholar?"

"This... is such a reason, but your third uncle has been studying for more than ten years, isn't it a pity to give up now?"

Ruan Mengmeng stretched out her hands and rubbed her head, and murmured, "I didn't say that I would give up supporting my third uncle to study, I just wanted to say that since my third uncle doesn't have the ability to be admitted to fame in one fell swoop, we shouldn't give away the money we earned. Give it all to grandma, let her give it to third uncle for reading, we should keep some privately."

"But... this is not good." Liu He felt a little uneasy.

Ruan Mengmeng blinked and said softly, "Mom, sister Mingyu took the money given by her grandmother to start a business, but she didn't give even half of the money to her. Do you think she really didn't earn any money?"

"You mean, she lied to your grandmother?"

"Yes, lied."

"But I think Mingyu is a well-behaved girl, how could she do such a thing?"

"Mother, the point I want to make is that the uncle's family also hid money privately. If that's the case, what's wrong with us doing this?"

"Besides, I didn't let mother and father hide the money, I earned it myself. I think it's okay, right?"

Liu He had some hesitation on his face and said nothing.

Seeing her attitude, Ruan Mengmeng secretly thought about making money behind her back and hiding it for herself.

Not long after this thought occurred, Liu He gritted his teeth and said, "If you have the ability to earn money, then you can take it yourself."

"What mother said is true?"

Liu He nodded.

"You're going to get married soon, and the family can't give you any dowry, so you should leave some money."

Ruan Mengmeng didn't answer. She reached out and touched the place where she put her lipstick, her eyes twinkling.

Since she agreed to keep the money secretly, she will sell all the lipsticks she got in exchange for money tomorrow.

After making up his mind, Ruan Mengmeng talked to Liu He early the next morning, then quietly avoided the attention of his family, and left home to go to town.

After traveling for an hour, Ruan Mengmeng arrived in the town smoothly.

When she arrived at her destination, she was so tired that she just found a corner to sit down and rest.

About a quarter of an hour later, Ruan Mengmeng got up and stretched, looking for someone to sell lipstick.

The strategy she thought of was to find a wealthy woman to sell the lipstick to her, so that she could sell it at a high price without too much fuss.

Ruan Mengmeng had a good plan, but after looking at the passers-by for a long time, she couldn't find anyone who could sell her lipstick.

The passers-by here don't look very wealthy, nor do they look like people who spend a lot of money on lipstick.

This is how to do?Counting the time spent on the road, it has already been half a day. If she can't sell the lipstick in two hours, she will lose today.

Thinking in her heart, Ruan Mengmeng was a little anxious, afraid that she would not be able to sell her lipstick, and even more afraid that no matter how hard she tried, she would not be able to change the plot she should accept.

For some reason, at this moment, Ruan Mengmeng was in a daze.

In this trance, someone suddenly bumped her hard, and Ruan Mengmeng staggered and fell to the ground.

"How are you?" After landing, the person who bumped into her ran away quickly, but another person supported her and asked.

The person supporting her was a woman, she was very charming and had an aura of profligacy about her body.

After sizing it up, Ruan Mengmeng shook her head, "It's fine."

"It's okay, just get up quickly."

Ruan Mengmeng nodded, got up and said gratefully, "Thank you, sister."

The woman smiled slightly, "Don't thank me. Be careful when you walk in the future. As women, if you fall heavily and lose your appearance, it will not be worth the loss. If you don't lose your appearance, you will find a good family in the future." It's absolutely fine."

After taking a look at her, Ruan Mengmeng thought to herself that her face was not that good. The book described Ruan Jiaohua as pretty, but when she saw her face in Qingshui, Ruan Jiaohua looked like an ordinary woman. Not considered superior, but not ugly either, far worse than Ruan Mingyu.

After the woman finished speaking, she glanced at her again, and said goodbye, "I still have something to do, so I'm leaving first."

A flash of inspiration flashed in Ruan Mengmeng's mind and she hurriedly called her, "Sister."

The woman stared at her for a moment, "What's wrong?"

Ruan Mengmeng's eyes flickered, and she said, "Sister, I have something I want to sell to you."
