"You think you can just give me a bowl of shredded pork noodles? You'd better add two meat buns on top of that!"
Chen Dan nodded vigorously and said:
"Add, add, you absolutely have to add! We'll need you for this next time!"
Li Jing held her head high, looking like a proud rooster.
Bai Yueyao had worked all morning and was exhausted. She hadn't eaten a single bite of food and was starving.
She ran away because Li Jing had humiliated her, and also because she thought that since she and Tang Zixuan were married, they would never abandon her!
At Director Wei's request, the two went to Dongsheng Commune to get their marriage certificate that very day!
After getting their marriage certificate, Bai Yueyao wanted the two of them to live together, preferably in a house they could build together, so that it would be spacious and undisturbed.
However, Tang Zixuan completely ignored her request and dismissed Bai Yueyao with a simple "I have no money."
Bai Yueyao had been coaxing Tang Zixuan for the past few days, thinking that she would bring up the house-building project again once she had appeased him!
She had originally planned that since she had run away, Tang Zixuan would bring her food, and she could take this opportunity to win him over.
Who would have thought? This jerk completely ignored her!
Now, Bai Yueyao felt a little flustered, not because of the argument with Li Jing.
Bai Yueyao didn't plan to stay at the educated youth's residence, and she didn't particularly care what the other educated youths said about her.
However, Bai Yueyao took Tang Zixuan's attitude very seriously!
In the past, when she clashed with Xia Ning, there were times when Xia Ning found something to use against her.
At that time, Tang Zixuan's attitude was biased towards her. Even though Xia Ning was right, he told Xia Ning not to make a big deal out of it!
Several days have passed since then, and Tang Zixuan no longer tries to coax her like he used to. Even when she takes the initiative to be gentle and considerate, Tang Zixuan acts as if he is blind to it and completely ignores her.
Especially now, she's being bullied, and he hasn't even come to her aid. Bai Yueyao feels like something's out of control!
Ever since meeting Zhong Wanwan on the train, Bai Yueyao had had this feeling, and now it was becoming more and more obvious.
No, she couldn't just sit and wait to die. So, the task of getting Zhou Xiaohong to bring Zhong Wanwan down that afternoon had to succeed; she had to take control of the situation step by step.
…………
As soon as work started in the afternoon, Bai Yueyao approached Zhou Xiaohong and urged her to say what she wanted to say before she even started working.
The more enthusiastic Zhou Xiaohong was when she was husking corn, the more timid she is now.
She tugged at Bai Yueyao and whispered:
"Bai Zhiqing, why don't you speak? You're quick-witted and articulate, I'm nervous..."
Bai Yueyao said with exasperation:
"Isn't it because you dislike Zhong Wanwan and want her to work in the fields like you? You could have just said so!"
Zhou Xiaohong didn't want to take the lead. She wasn't afraid of wrongly accusing Zhong Wanwan, but she was mainly afraid of the punishment that would follow, which involved composting manure and carrying manure. She couldn't bear that!
But when she thought of Zhong Wanwan and the others enjoying the cool shade under the trees while she had to rush to harvest the crops, her sweat dripping to the ground, she felt a pang of jealousy.
Zhou Xiaohong was in a state of extreme inner turmoil. She looked at Bai Yueyao and wished that Bai Zhiqing would take the initiative to speak up!
Anyway, she's already been punished by composting and carrying manure, so there won't be any bigger punishment. If Director Wei gets angry and extends the time for composting and carrying manure, what does it matter? Bai Zhiqing is already used to it!
If Bai Yueyao knew what Zhou Xiaohong was thinking, she would scratch her face raw. What did she mean by "we're used to it"? What did she mean by "not afraid of prolonging the time"? She didn't want to do it for a whole day, no, she didn't want to do it for even a minute longer!
