Bai Yueyao really didn't expect that there was someone even more "slick" than her, and for a moment she didn't know how to reply!
Saying she didn't mean she didn't want to work would be like her trying to hide something obvious, and since she couldn't possibly admit she didn't want to work, her face immediately turned ugly.
Li Jing, seemingly oblivious to the concept of knowing when to stop, continued her sarcastic remarks after Bai Yueyao remained silent for a while:
"Hey, Bai Zhiqing, if you don't want to work, just say so. We won't stop you from working just because you don't want to. We'll just make sure you work hard!"
"If you don't say anything and just keep making the food taste so bad, aren't you just digging your own grave?"
"How about this, next time you cook, Shen Dan and I will supervise you. We're not afraid of a little hard work; it's our duty to ensure everyone has food for the autumn harvest!"
After Li Jing said this, all the educated youth looked at Bai Yueyao differently.
Previously, there was the incident where Bai Yueyao damaged the tractor. Although everyone felt it was quite embarrassing for the educated youth, it didn't involve their own interests.
But cooking is different; it's related to everyone's meals during the autumn harvest!
The autumn harvest is so tiring, how can we not eat such poor food!
Li Jing's words were unanimously agreed upon by everyone:
"Li Zhiqing, you're so thoughtful. Then I'll trouble you to go with Shen Zhiqing!"
"I'm keeping an eye on this with you and Shen Zhiqing too. We can't stand these wicked kids with ill intentions!"
"I'm speechless. You have to eat the food you cook yourself. How could you possibly do something so malicious!"
...
Bai Yueyao hadn't expected Li Jing to be so ruthless. She had only been a beat too slow, and things had already been twisted to this extent by Li Jing. Bai Yueyao explained, feeling aggrieved:
"Li Zhiqing is overthinking it. I really can't cook. How could I not want to cook something delicious?"
"I've never made that cornmeal at home before, that's why it's so firm. You don't need to keep an eye on it, I'll definitely pay attention next time!"
Li Jing adopted Bai Yueyao's usual pose, using her own methods against her, and chuckled softly while covering her mouth:
"Does Bai Zhiqing's family eat such good food? They never eat cornmeal! What kind of rich young lady's life is that?"
Bai Yueyao, seeing Li Jing going further and further as she even brought up the wealthy heiress, finally lost her temper and said:
"Li Zhiqing, all I did was cook one meal badly, why are you being so aggressive?"
Li Jing, not to be outdone, tore off Bai Yueyao's mask and said:
"I was being aggressive? I was just stating the truth, how did that make me aggressive?"
"Then what do you mean by distorting the story that Shen Zhiqing didn't want to pay? Are you deliberately framing Shen Zhiqing? Or are you just being stingy and unwilling to pay but refusing to admit it?"
"You've already lost all sense of shame, and you can't blame others for tearing it down for you? You're really like a prostitute trying to maintain a virtuous image, wanting to have your cake and eat it too!"
Unable to win an argument with Li Jing, Bai Yueyao, her face flushed red from the scolding, pointed at Li Jing and said:
"You, you, you've gone too far!"
Then she covered her face and ran out.
Bai Yueyao's escape didn't affect anyone's meal, and it had no impact on Li Jing either.
After winning the argument, she felt completely refreshed, and even the awful cornbread tasted a little better to her!
Shen Dan looked at Li Jing with even more admiration and leaned closer to whisper:
"Li Zhiqing, you're amazing! We owe you so much for this. After the autumn harvest, when we go to An County, I'll treat you to shredded pork noodles!"
Li Jing said with a smile:
