The only luggage I brought was two worn-out T-shirts and a pair of altered jeans, which stood in stark contrast to the magnificent villa and looked particularly shabby.
When the biological mother saw this, her eyes became red again.
Lena Brown hurried back to her room and brought back a pile of colorful princess dresses.
"Sister, these skirts were bought for me by my mother. I have only worn them once or twice. You have no skirts to wear, so I will give them to you. If you don't like these, there is a cloakroom in my room with many clothes. You can pick whatever you like."
The biological mother praised with satisfaction: "Lena Brown is really sensible."
I smiled faintly, picked out a better T-shirt from the bag and handed it to her.
" This T-shirt was given to me by my neighbor's sister. I have only worn it once or twice. Now I will give it to my sister. Or, you can choose between the two. Otherwise, I can take off the one I am wearing and give it to you."
Lena Brown pursed her lips, her eyes instantly turned red, and she cried to her biological mother: "Mom, I just wanted to give my sister a skirt, how could my sister humiliate me like this? Does my sister not like me..."
When Lena Brown cried, her biological mother felt distressed again.
"Serena Smith, how can you wear these old clothes--"
She suddenly stopped talking halfway through.
Yes, when Lena Brown gave me her old clothes, she praised me. Why is it that when I gave Lena Brown my old clothes, it was considered an humiliation to Lena Brown?
To show her motherly love, she decided to take me to the mall to buy new clothes. Of course , to prove that she would not be partial even if there was another biological daughter in the family, she also took Lena Brown with her.
Our family is in business and we are well-off, so Lena Brown has lived a life of luxury since she was a child.
But as a person who grew up in the mountains, I never thought that a piece of clothing or a skirt could be so expensive!
I casually took a look at an ordinary T-shirt and it cost over a thousand yuan!
You know, I work hard raising pigs for a year, but I can only sell a pig for a few thousand yuan!
And the dress Lena Brown tried on cost nearly ten thousand yuan!
"Serena Smith, are there any clothes you like? Try on any you like. If you like them, mom will buy them for you."
Lena Brown took her biological mother's hand and said, "Yes, sister, you are so poor in the mountains, you have never worn such beautiful clothes, come and choose."
Finally, I chose a cheap store and picked out a few relatively affordable T-shirts and jeans. Although they still cost several hundred yuan each, my heart was bleeding.
I clutched my receipt and calculated the difference between my spending and Lena Brown's.
She spent more than 30,000 yuan more than me!
My God! I have never seen so much money!
How long will it take to feed the pigs to make back the profit?
"Mom, you said you wouldn't be partial, right?"
"Yes, you and Lena Brown are both dear to my heart. I will treat you equally."
"Then the total price of the clothes should be the same, right?"
My biological mother was stunned and looked at me with confusion.
"Then you transfer the extra money she spent than me to me. That's only fair, right?"
