Chapter 72 The Little Scoundrel's Dark Moonlight Educated Youth 07

Ye Xiaoying stepped forward and frowned, "I have no objection to taking turns cooking, but why should we pay for it?"

This amount of money was not enough in Zhao Yutong's eyes. She stood there without saying a word, and it was obvious that she wanted to make fun of Ye Xiaoying.

The two brothers Cheng Shan and Cheng Feng did not express their opinions. Chen Xinran guessed that they might want to reap the benefits.

Liu Qian frowned and subconsciously retorted, "Because you want to use it too!"

Ye Xiaoying chuckled, "You're saying it as if if we don't use it, then you don't have to either."

It was the first time Liu Qian had encountered such a shameless person. She was so angry that her face turned red and white. "Anyway, if you don't pay, you can't use this pot."

Ye Xiaoying smiled complacently, "If you want us not to use it, just take the pot away and stop leaving it there taking up public space!"

Liu Qian's fury surged to the top of her head. Her eyes flushed with rage, "I'm putting this on hold. I'll smash the pot before you use it!"

Liu Qian is a typical doer, because after she finished speaking, she picked up a brick and went into the kitchen.

All this happened so quickly that Cai Liang and his companions were unable to react. Perhaps they didn't believe Liu Qian would hit them.

There was a loud thud, the sound of a brick hitting the pot. Everyone gathered around to see a hole as big as a head in the bottom of the pot, which couldn't be fixed no matter how hard they tried.

Cai Liang frowned, "If you have something to say, just talk it over. Why do you just start fighting like that?"

Liu Qian looked aggrieved. "I tried to talk to her nicely, but did she listen? Anyway, I paid for the ticket and the money for this pot, so I don't want to let someone like that take advantage of me."

A hint of sadness flashed across Chen Yan's brows. "You feel relieved, but how are we going to cook in the future?"

Liu Qian snorted coldly, "Eight Immortals crossing the sea, each showing their magical powers! Anyway, I will definitely not eat with her in the future. If you want to eat with her, don't call me."

Ye Xiaoying hadn't expected things to develop to this point. Seeing everyone looking at her intentionally or unintentionally, her expression became embarrassed.

Zhao Yutong found it hilarious. "The pot's already in such a mess, let's just eat our own food from now on! Otherwise, some shady people will take advantage of us."

Ye Xiaoying knew that the person Zhao Yutong was talking about was herself, and she glared at Zhao Yutong. She was the eldest sister in the family, with two younger brothers, so she had to be frugal.

Shen Xinran, who was still standing by, looked at the broken pot with a flicker in her eyes. She then said, "Then I won't eat with everyone anymore."

After work in the afternoon, Shen Xinran simply washed up, took out a bag of brown sugar from the cabinet, and went to Wei's house.

When Wei Rong learned what had happened, his eyes widened. "You said Liu Qian smashed the pot to avoid having dinner with Ye Xiaoying!"

Shen Xinran nodded, "So...can I come to your house for dinner in the future? I can pay for the food."

Wei Rong pinched his brow and sighed, "It's not that I disagree, but there really isn't a precedent for this!"

Wei Pingan, who was still standing by, laughed out loud. "Old Wei, your ideological awareness isn't high enough this time! The educated youth have come to you for help, how could you refuse them?"

Wei Rong glared at Wei Ping'an and said unhappily, "What do you know, you little bastard?"

He was afraid that if he agreed, every educated youth would come to him and he would be unable to handle the situation.

Wei Ping'an shook his head and said with emotion: "Then just wait for Li Zhiqing to faint from hunger and send her to the hospital!"

After Wei Ping'an finished speaking, he gave Shen Xinran a look.

Shen Xinran immediately covered his head with his hands, fell backwards, and stumbled a few steps until he was leaning against the wall. "I haven't eaten for almost a day. I feel like I'm going to faint at any moment."

Seeing this, Wei Rong felt that this fainting looked familiar. Isn't this Wei Ping'an's usual trick?

But at this moment, Wei Ping'an helped Shen Xinran to a chair and looked at him with a condemning look. "Old Wei, it seems that you really intend to starve Li Zhiqing to death."

Wei Rong could only think that he was overthinking it. He ordered Wei Ping'an, "Go to the kitchen and pour a bowl of water for Li Zhiqing."

A smile flashed in Wei Ping'an's eyes. "How can plain water be used? I saw Li Zhiqing took brown sugar, so I might as well just make her a bowl of brown sugar water!"

After Wei Ping'an finished speaking, he took the brown sugar that Shen Xinran had placed on the table at lightning speed and ran to the kitchen.

With such a good opportunity, how could he just make one bowl of brown sugar water? So, he made two bowls. He handed one bowl to Shen Xinran, and the other bowl was of course his own.

Wei Ping'an sat opposite Shen Xinran and started drinking with her.

Seeing this, Wei Rong was so angry that his eyelids twitched. This brat drank the brown sugar that others brought. Now he couldn't refuse even if he wanted to.

He took a deep breath and said through gritted teeth, "Aren't there still some steamed buns in the kitchen? Give Li Zhiqing two!"

When Shen Xinran heard this, she knew Wei Rong had agreed to her invitation to join her. She smiled with her eyes curved, "Thank you, Captain."

But when she turned around, she saw Wei Ping'an staring at her. But when Shen Xinran saw Wei Ping'an, he remembered the time when he was seven years old and used the captain's wine pot as a urinal.

The smile on her face grew more and more intense, and in the end she could no longer hold it back, so she lowered her head and covered it up by drinking brown sugar water.

Wei Ping'an always felt that there was something strange in the way Shen Xinran looked at him, but he quickly thought of a reason for himself. She must have been impressed by his wit just now!

Thinking of this, Wei Ping'an also smiled at Shen Xinran, but there was a hint of pride in his eyes.

…

On the first day of eating for free, Shen Xinran got up early and Wei Ping'an opened the door for her.

After Wei Ping'an opened the door, he turned around and shouted towards the kitchen: "Mom, Li Zhiqing is here."

Wu Chunhua's curses came from the kitchen. "When she comes, just let her sit aside first. The food will be ready later. What's the point of you telling me?"

Wei Pingan walked into the kitchen and smiled flatteringly, "Mom, I want to eat egg custard. Can you make me a bowl of egg custard?"

Wu Chunhua rolled her eyes and said unhappily, "Egg custard, egg custard, do I look like egg custard?"

Wei Pingan glanced into the pot and pursed his lips. "Li Zhiqing gave you five yuan a month for food, and you treated her to cabbage leaves."

Wu Chunhua glared at Wei Ping'an with a cold look in her eyes, "Do you really think I dare not hit you?"

Wei Ping'an blinked, stopped talking, and just kept smiling at Wu Chunhua.

It must be said that he still understood his mother best. Because Wu Chunhua turned around and took out two eggs from the cupboard. Although she was still complaining: "I really owe you in my past life."

But the hand beating the eggs was not vague at all.

Wei Ping'an nodded in satisfaction and walked out of the kitchen. Seeing Shen Xinran still in the yard, he did not forget to explain: "My mother has a sharp tongue, but she has a good heart. Don't mind it."

Shen Xinran witnessed this farce. She smiled stiffly and nodded, "I know that. Aunt Wu is indeed a good person."

After she finished speaking, she was still sighing in her heart: How could Wu Chunhua be a bad person when she could raise such a annoying son like the male protagonist!
