"You, what right do you have to kick me?"

Her bottom made intimate contact with the snow, and the icy feeling slowly seeped into her pants, making her shiver involuntarily.

Just then, Chen Jianguo heard the noise and ran out to check the situation. Fearing that Gu An'an would continue to attack, he immediately shouted, "Gu Zhiqing, don't be impulsive!"

He knew Li Yumei's personality, and based on what he had just vaguely heard, Chen Jianguo knew that Li Yumei was in the wrong.

"Chen Zhiqing, we agreed that once the house is finished, we'll move out and cook separately, right?"

Chen Jianguo nodded.

"That educated youth Li just shouted for violence and even tried to disfigure educated youth Zhou. How should this be accounted for?"

Chen Jianguo glared at the troublesome Li Yumei, but still pleaded for her, "Perhaps Li Yumei misunderstood. Can I have her apologize to you?"

He originally intended to smooth things over as before, but upon meeting Gu An'an's gaze, Chen Jianguo instinctively felt that if he dared to do so, things might become even worse.

"Misunderstanding? We said it in front of everyone that day. We've been giving back as much as we've eaten these past few days, and we haven't taken advantage of anyone. Even today's breakfast was prepared by Zhou Zhiqing and me. There shouldn't be anything to criticize, right?"

Chen Jianguo nodded again, "She was being unreasonable. Li Yumei, apologize quickly."

Li Yumei was naturally unwilling to apologize. She wasn't doing this for herself, so why should she apologize?

"Brother Chen, I'm the one who's injured now. My butt hurts terribly, I might have broken a bone."

Lin Qingqing bent down to help the other woman, her words full of concern, "Yu Mei, are you alright? Should we get someone to check on you?"

Li Yumei immediately nodded, "I won't go to the village hospital, I'll go to the commune hospital."

She was determined to extort money from these two. She was rich, and if she didn't make them bleed this time, she wouldn't be a Li.

Are you sure you want to go to the commune hospital?

Gu An'an controlled the force of her kick perfectly; the thickness of her clothes and the snow meant it wouldn't cause any harm to the other person.

Hearing this, Li Yumei thought Gu An'an was scared, so she immediately raised her chin and said provocatively, "Of course, but if you have a better attitude and are willing to pay for your mistakes, I might agree to a private settlement."

"Oh? What kind of reconciliation do you want?"

Li Yumei's eyes lit up as she began to consider whether she wanted the money or the things. After a few seconds, she decided that she wanted both.

"You just kicked me in the stomach and made me fall on my butt. I don't want much, just give me fifty yuan, twenty eggs, a can of malted milk powder, and a bag of brown sugar."

She had already set her sights on these things; they were all items that Gu An'an already possessed.

Even if she doesn't have eggs right now, it's easy for her to exchange them for some in the village.

With these things, her life this year will be fine.

It wasn't that she didn't want more, but she felt that Gu An'an wasn't stupid, and she might not give her more if she asked.

Gu An'an neither said yes nor no, but stared at the other person with a cold gaze, and then approached step by step, giving off a strange sense of pressure.

"What are you doing? Speak up, don't get so close to me." Li Yumei took small steps back.

Gu An'an curled her lips into a smile, "Do you know what I hate the most?"

"Wh...what?" Li Yumei felt a chill run down her spine from her gaze, and she began to stammer.

"I hate it when people treat me like a fool, but fifty dollars isn't much to me, and I can give it to you if you want."

Before Gu An'an could finish speaking, the terror in Li Yumei's eyes faded, replaced by surprise. "Really?"

"but......"

"But what?" Li Yumei asked impatiently. As long as Gu An'an's demands weren't too outrageous, she would agree for the money.

Gu An'an suddenly smiled brightly, "I don't like to do business at a loss. Since you want so much, of course I have to do it a few more times. If you're paying for fun, the value has to be equal, right?"

Gu An'an flexed her wrists, as if she was just waiting for Li Yumei to nod before she could throw a punch.

"No, no, you can't do this."

"Why not? This is an exchange. You want money, and I want the thrill of beating people up. Don't worry, if I accidentally go a little too heavy-handed, I'll give you more money. Even if you can't enjoy it, I will definitely mail the money to your home. They are all witnesses."

Li Yumei: ......

What does that mean? What do you mean I'm not worthy of it? Is she planning to beat me to death?

No, no, why should she not only go to the countryside, but also risk her life to earn money for her parents?

She doesn't want to!

"Just give me a straight answer, don't delay what we're about to do."

Seeing the excitement in Gu An'an's eyes, but still reluctant to part with the money that was within her grasp, Li Yumei said, "No, what I just said is your apology for kicking me. Otherwise, I'll report you to the commune."

Gu An'an didn't bother arguing with her and swung her fist at Li Yumei's face, saying, "Looks like you still haven't learned your lesson."

Gu An'an's punch was so fast that Li Yumei could feel the wind from the punch. Just as she was about to raise her hand to cover her face, she was tripped by a small stone and lost control of her body as she fell.

Although she fell on her backside again, Li Yumei was still relieved to have successfully dodged Gu An'an's attack.

"You're crazy! We're all educated youth sent to the countryside, why are you doing this to me?" Li Yumei asked, clutching her wildly beating chest.

"You're only just realizing I'm crazy?"

Gu An'an squatted down in front of Li Yumei and gently patted her face. "I may be rich, but I'm not stupid. There's only one way to get money: stand here and let me hit you. I'll give you the money then. I just don't know if you dare to come."
