Bai Yuxiao's face grew increasingly grim.

Then, he had an idea, stepped forward, and took Su Mingyue's hand.

"Su Zhiqing, I know how you feel about me. If you really want to marry me, then isn't it a necessary lesson to please your future mother-in-law?"

“As long as my mom agrees, my dad will definitely have nothing to say. Our whole family will see your efforts and will definitely accept you.”

“My mom just got back from the hospital and wants to eat meat to replenish her nutrition. If you can’t provide meat now, wouldn’t all our previous efforts be in vain?”

"..."

Under Bai Yuxiao's tender comfort, Su Mingyue began to waver.

At first, the Bai family didn't really like Su Mingyue, but now they've finally managed to win her over, and even Bai Yuxiao is willing to patiently coax her.

If the Bai family starts to be dissatisfied with Su Mingyue again because they are not given meat now, wouldn't all their previous efforts be in vain?

Thinking of this, Su Mingyue finally relented: "Alright, Yu Xiao, I only borrowed this from others because of you. You should know my feelings. Don't let me down in the future."

"Don't worry, Su Zhiqing, you know... it's not the right time yet. I believe the country will definitely reopen the college entrance examination. When I take the exam and get into university, I can bring you all to the city to live a good life."

Bai Yuxiao spoke with deep affection.

The sound stirred waves of emotion within Su Mingyue.

It has to be said that the reason Su Mingyue went to such lengths to win over Bai Yuxiao was firstly because of his face, and secondly because of his voice.

It's so beautiful and sounds amazing.

After mastering the art of being a man, I feel it's worth it!

"I understand, Yu Xiao, I believe you."

If it were someone else, they might think Bai Yuxiao was talking nonsense, since the government hasn't even given any indication of when the college entrance examination will be reopened.

However, Su Mingyue knew that the college entrance examination would be reopened in 1977.

According to the system, Bai Yuxiao will successfully get into a good university, stay in Haicheng, and become a respected university professor.

We'll give it our all for the mission!

But who can I borrow meat from?

Su Mingyue arrived at the educated youth settlement to find several other educated youths who had gone to the countryside with her before, intending to spend extra money to buy some meat to cook.

Unfortunately, they had run out of meat, and even if they paid more, they couldn't buy any.

This put Su Mingyue in a difficult position.

Just then, she saw Ye Nian'an walking out of the Chu family home, and her eyes lit up.

The system said this woman had a treasure hidden on her!

I never expected this woman to be a sent-down youth!

But if they were sent-down youth, why were they so free this afternoon and didn't have to go to work?

Just then, Qin Yunze came out of the house, and Su Mingyue quickly went up to him to inquire about Ye Nian'an's situation...

"Qin Zhiqing, do you know that comrade's name?"

Su Mingyue pointed to Ye Nian'an in the distance and asked softly.

Seeing Su Mingyue ask such a question, Qin Yunze raised an eyebrow: "Su, why are you asking these questions?"

"Oh, Qin, it's like this... I ran into her on my way back from town today, and I thought she was so pretty, so I got curious."

"Now that I see her living in the educated youth settlement, I think it's strange that she doesn't have to work."

Before Ye Nian'an arrived, Su Mingyue was the most beautiful educated youth in the Red Star Brigade.

Even Qin Yunze had feelings for Su Mingyue, but she only had eyes for Bai Yuxiao.

He even agreed to the Bai family's harsh conditions just to live in their home and take advantage of their proximity.

In this way, Qin Yunze's feelings for Su Mingyue completely died, and he treated her purely as a comrade-in-arms.

Hearing Su Mingyue's question, Qin Yunze didn't think much of it and told her about Ye Nian'an's situation.

Su Mingyue murmured softly, "Ye Nian'an... so it's Comrade Ye. What a lovely name. I really envy her; her in-laws dote on her so much."

"Su Zhiqing, have you not given up on Comrade Bai Yuxiao yet?"

Qin Yunze couldn't help but ask another question.

As far as he knows, Su Mingyue is staying at the Bai family's house and is simply giving herself away!

How deep must the feelings be for someone to shamelessly stay at another person's house on the first meeting and willingly make such a sacrifice?

"Yes, Qin Zhiqing, this is what they call a turtle and a mung bean, they just fell in love, there's nothing anyone can do about it, thank you."

After saying this, Su Mingyue walked towards Ye Nian'an.

Qin Yunze was left with a helpless sigh.

Just as Ye Nian'an was thinking of cooking another dish, Su Mingyue's voice came: "Hello."

Ye Nian'an turned her head and saw that it was Su Mingyue. She narrowed her eyes, revealing a dangerous aura.

Although he had only met the woman in front of him once, Ye Nian'an instinctively felt that she was very dangerous.

I never expected this woman to appear at the educated youth settlement. Could she be one of the educated youth sent to the countryside?

I've never seen it since I moved here...

Su Mingyue noticed Ye Nian'an's concerns and took the initiative to speak: "Don't be nervous. My name is Su Mingyue. I'm an educated youth who came to Hongxing Brigade a year ago and am currently staying with the Bai family in the village."

"Since Comrade Bai Yuxiao's mother just returned from the hospital and wants to replenish her nutrition, but we're out of meat at home, I came here to buy some meat from you. Is that alright? I'll pay extra if necessary."

Su Mingyue quickly explained.

Meanwhile, the system is frantically calling for help.

Did you sense where Ye Nian'an's treasure was hidden?

However, the system confirmed with Su Mingyue in the afternoon that Ye Nian'an was hiding a treasure, but there has been no response since.

This infuriated Su Mingyue.

This garbage system is utterly useless; it just sleeps!

How much meat do you want? How much extra will it cost?

"I want a pound of pork. The market price is 0.5 cents a pound. I'll pay one dollar, is that okay?"

Ye Nian'an thought for a moment and said, "Three yuan."

"What?! Three yuan?!"

Su Mingyue's expression changed, and she blurted out.

Isn't this just making exorbitant demands and taking advantage of someone's misfortune?

"Take it or leave it, I'll keep it for myself."

"I... Comrade Ye, isn't your price a bit too high? The market price is only 50 cents, you've increased it sixfold!"

Ye Nian'an said calmly, "First, you need coupons to buy meat. Second, there's no meat to buy in the village. You have to go to the supply and marketing cooperative in town. It costs money to take the bus, and it takes time and energy to go back and forth."

“We’re not related, and if you think about it, I don’t make any money at all. If you want it, pay three yuan; if not, that’s fine.”

Most importantly, Ye Nian'an dislikes Su Mingyue.

Even without a reason, do you need a reason to dislike someone?

He decided to set an exorbitant price, hoping Su Mingyue would back down and stop bothering him.

Of course, Ye Nian'an welcomes Su Mingyue to buy it; selling pork for three yuan a pound is a steal.
