Chapter 79: Food Purchase Incident

"If you don't want to tell me, then don't tell me. I don't want to hear it either." Wen Lin held a bowl of white rice with fragrant braised pork on it and ate it in big mouthfuls.

"Here's fifty cents. Give me one too." Jian Yueshi handed the money in her hand to Wen Lin.

"I want to eat. If you want to eat, go in and ask Ye Zhiqing to buy some." Wen Lin said without raising her head.

Under normal circumstances, Wen Lin would be happy to accept the money, but the double harvest was too tiring, and now she just wanted to eat.

"Okay, I'll go in and find Ye Zhiqing." Jian Yueshi walked inside holding the fifty cents.

If it were in the past, she would definitely give the money to Xia Tiantian and ask her to run errands for her.

Since they came to this godforsaken place, they were only given five kilograms of brown rice and five kilograms of sorghum rice flour a month, without a drop of oil.

Everyone eats brown rice and cooked wild vegetables every day to fill their stomachs, and they wish they could split every penny into three parts to spend.

Buying food is a simple task, but Jian Yueshi was afraid that Xia Tiantian would sneak some snacks during the meal, so she didn't want to ask her to run errands.

Xia Tiantian looked at Jian Yueshi's back with a secret hatred in her heart. Ever since coming here, Shishi always criticized herself for her faults.

At first he would give her a few sips of soup, but now he won't even leave her a single sip.

Jian Yueshi brought out the delicious meal and saw Xia Tiantian glaring at her with resentment.

Seeing Xia Tiantian shaking with anger, Jian Yueshi's mood inexplicably improved.

She couldn't help but sneer: "Aren't you very capable? You were not happy when I asked you to find a long-term meal ticket? Now you hate me?"

"Shishi, you weren't like this before. Why are you treating me like this now?" Xia Tiantian said gritting her teeth.

"Heh, don't you know it yourself?" Jian Yueshi looked at Xia Tiantian with contempt.

"Xia Tiantian, before we completely fall out, I advise you to put away your pitiful look.

No one will have mercy on you here, you'd better recognize your situation! Who gave you the courage to give me the cold shoulder? ”

"Shishi... I'm just very hungry. I really didn't mean to give you a cold shoulder." Xia Tiantian said humbly.

Even though she was trembling with anger, she had no other choice now. She had to rely on Jian Yueshi to survive.

It’s not that she didn’t think about trying to please Wen Lin, but Wen Lin always looked down on her and was more tolerant towards her arch-enemy Jian Yueshi.

They just know that Jian Yueshi is rich. These people are so snobbish!

Xia Tiantian also thought about trying to please Ye Siran, but Ye Siran went out early and came back late, and even when he came back he was always with Wen Lin.

She couldn't go and tell Ye Siran in front of Wen Lin that she wanted to please her!

If she said that, she would definitely be laughed at by everyone, so she could only wait for the opportunity, and today she finally got it.

Wen Lin was tired from work, and for a bite to eat, she finally stopped following Ye Siran.

Xia Tiantian took out fifty cents cruelly and said, "Ye Zhiqing, give me a meal and some more braised pork."

"Okay!" Ye Siran took the money quickly and actually gave a little more broth.

Xia Tiantian took the meal and left, finding a corner to sit down. She finished the braised pork in just a few bites.

She took the rice back and said, "Ye Zhiqing, why is there no meat in your braised pork rice? It's just a bowl of rice but it costs 50 cents. I don't want it."

"Are you sure there was no meat when I handed it to you?" Ye Siran asked with a smile.

"The facts are before my eyes, how can I still lie? Check for yourself whether there is any meat. Give me back the 20 cents and we'll let it go."

"Not even a cent!" Ye Siran simply refused.

"Everyone come and see, the braised pork rice sold by Ye Zhiqing has no meat. Tell me, should she return the fifty cents to me?" Xia Tiantian shouted righteously.

"It's no use calling anyone. There was indeed meat when you took it away. As for why there was no meat, it's obvious that you ate it yourself."

"What are you talking about? How can I eat so fast?" Xia Tiantian immediately got angry. "Fifty cents is not a small amount, you know?"

Xia Tiantian said with gritted teeth that she couldn't let others know that she had eaten the meat on purpose in order to extort two dimes from Ye Zhiqing.

Now that Ye Siran is so tough, she can't help but get angry!

"I said I won't retreat, so I won't retreat. Do you think you are right just because you speak louder?" Ye Siran looked at Xia Tiantian and said calmly.

"Ye Zhiqing, do you see that Xia Tiantian rarely comes to buy food, so you deliberately don't give her meat?" an old educated youth asked suspiciously.

"Do you think I look like that kind of person? Look carefully, there are traces of meat on Xia Zhiqing's bowl of rice." Ye Siran said calmly.

"Really? The marks are obvious. If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have noticed. Xia Zhiqing is so dishonest!"

"A bowl of white rice this big, and a bowl of mung bean soup, even without the meat, is worth fifty cents. Are you really going to hold on to it?"

Ye Siran stared at Xia Tiantian and said, his whole body exuding a murderous aura as if he was facing an enemy on the battlefield.

Xia Tiantian was speechless after being asked this question. She could only grit her teeth and remain silent. How could this woman be so cruel!

She is already so rich, but I refused to ask her to return even 20 cents. How mean!

"The richer you are, the more stingy you are. I'm poor but my spirit is strong, so you don't have to retreat." Xia Tiantian said viciously.

After she finished speaking, she left angrily with the bowl in her hand, "Just consider it as me showing my support for you today. I will never buy from you again."

"Tiantian, are you short of money? Are you saying that on purpose?" Jian Yueshi unceremoniously exposed Xia Tiantian's little thoughts.

Xia Tiantian didn't say anything. She just lowered her head and wolfed down her food. She was really hungry.

I had been holding back from eating because I wanted to extort two dimes from Ye Siran, but now I feel there is no hope of extorting the money and I can’t bear it anymore!

Although Xia Tiantian was eating without saying anything, everyone had a better understanding of her and believed that she had lied.

"Oh my, she looks like a starving ghost, could it be that she really ate the meat just now?" an old educated youth asked the people around him.

"Really? Although fifty cents is not cheap, the portion is really big. I want to buy one."

"Oh! There's no use thinking about it anymore. I really don't have any money." An educated youth whose family had no money shook his head and sighed.

Listening to everyone's contemptuous words, Jian Yueshi knew that Xia Tiantian's situation had become more difficult, but it had nothing to do with her!

Wen Lin has always looked down on Xia Tiantian, not because she is poor, but because she is very scheming, so she didn't add insult to injury at this time.

She asked Ye Siran with some concern, "Of course, Xia Tiantian suffered such a big loss today, she will definitely do something bad in the future."

"I'm not afraid of her. I just saw how hard you all worked, so I thought of making some delicious food to reward you. If she acts like a demon, it will only ruin your enjoyment."

"I promise to stop her from doing anything bad." Jian Yueshi promised immediately.
