Let alone two hundred and ten yuan.
Even ten yuan was something Bai Qin couldn't afford.
Although the old hag no longer bullied her, she was able to provide her with enough to eat and wear.
But he never gave her a single penny.
Bai Qin's eyes immediately reddened, "You're talking nonsense! How can an animal be compared to a human..."
"Bai Zhiqing, stop talking!"
Chu Zheling interrupted her, his face so dark it could drip water.
Guan Yuxi and Wen Erma smiled at each other.
Seeing the two of them, one stammered and dared not speak.
One was trying his best to suppress his anger.
Her smile deepened. "Of course, animals can't be compared to humans."
However, this calf is collective property, isn't it too for Chu, the educated youth?
These words were a blatant slap in the face to Chu Zheling.
It certainly cannot be collective property.
But wouldn't this prove Guan Yuxi's sarcasm?
Bai Qin secretly glanced at Chu Zheling.
She snuggled closer to him, angrily shifting the blame, "Guan Yuxi, what do you mean?"
My brother Ling is a human being, how could he be property?
How dare you compare him to an animal... to a cow?
Chu Zheling was so angry that his face turned ashen.
He glared at Bai Qin fiercely, "If you can't speak properly, then don't speak!"
"Yu Xi, I hope you will carefully consider what I have to say."
"You'll never have a good life with Leng Lie!"
Guan Yuxi rolled her eyes.
If it weren't for the fact that it would lower one's status.
She really wanted to pull out her middle finger and show off to all the others.
Even if you live by the sea, it's none of my business.
You should go and pay back the money first; not taking advantage of the collective is the right thing to do!
Bai Qin had no idea.
She lifted a stone only to drop it on her lover's foot.
"Ten yuan for a single rice seedling? This is blatant robbery!"
She bent down, picked up a stone, and threw it at the two of them.
Unfortunately, his aim was too poor, and he landed in the paddy field.
Guan Yuxi turned around and looked at her with disdain, "How many grains of rice can one rice seedling produce?"
A single grain of rice becomes a seedling.
Don't you understand the chicken-and-egg analogy?
She glanced at Chu Zheling indifferently.
He pulled Wen Er's mother away.
Bai Qin glared angrily at their retreating figures.
Chu Zheling frowned at her and said, "You should go back first."
Don't come out again unless absolutely necessary.
Bai Qin looked at him with a wronged expression.
He hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.
Chu Zheling lifted his foot to leave.
She stopped him, gritting her teeth.
Finally, she blurted out, "You... have you taken a fancy to that bitch Guan Yuxi?"
She stared at him without blinking.
Chu Zheling looked at her.
What do you think?
Bai Qin twisted her fingers. "I...I don't know."
Chu Zheling noticed her anxiety.
He said casually, "I don't like secondhand goods."
But I want to utilize her strengths, you understand?
Bai Qin was secretly delighted.
Then her eyes darted around, "Brother Ling, are you sure you're not mistaken?"
Guan Yuxi doesn't really have any special talents.
She's just a foolish, unsophisticated, and arrogant country girl.
What is it that he values?
Chu Zheling snorted coldly, "You don't need to worry about that."
All you need to know is that Guan Yuxi is related to our future happiness.
"And Leng Lie...you must find a way to solve this!"
The phrase "our future" successfully shut Bai Qin up.
Her heart felt as if it were filled with honey.
Even though doubts still lingered in my mind.
She didn't have time to think about it further.
Chu Zheling pulled out a bunch of wet bills.
I counted it, and there was only one hundred and forty yuan.
Do you have any money? Can you lend me some?
Bai Qin stared at the pile of bills with shining eyes.
"Brother Ling, are you really planning to lose money on the rice seedlings?"
That's such a bad deal!
Chu Zheling's expression darkened, and he glanced at her.
Bai Qin lowered her head guiltily, not daring to meet his gaze.
Her mind was racing.
Countless thoughts crossed my mind about keeping the money for myself.
"Brother Ling, why don't you give me the money?"
"If Guan Yuxi really has to pay compensation, I'll help you pay it too."
When I looked up again...
Her eyes were filled with shame.
Chu Zheling nodded and gave her the money.
Bai Qin suppressed her overwhelming joy.
He hid the money close to his body.
Chu Zheling waved his hand, "I'm going back."
Don't come looking for me again, and don't send me anything anymore.
She didn't care about the impact.
He still cares a lot.
If it weren't for the fact that I still need her.
He really couldn't be bothered to deal with her!
Bai Qin had just received a windfall and was overjoyed.
Without thinking much about it, he nodded.
Anyway, that's what Chu Zheling said.
He wouldn't chase her away the next time he saw her.
***
Are you alright?
"I heard that the man surnamed Chu came to see you again?"
Leng Lie looked Guan Yuxi up and down.
Seeing that she was not injured this time, he was relieved.
"I'm going to find him!"
He stepped out the door.
Guan Yuxi said crisply, "No need."
This time, he's just unlucky.
She recounted the story with great enthusiasm.
His cold, fierce gaze grew even colder. "He bumped into your back?"
Guan Yuxi gave him a reproachful look.
"What's wrong? I didn't lose out!"
"I'll ask him for the money in a few days."
No, it's on behalf of the group demanding money from him, humph!
