Before Xia Ning could reply, Zhong Wanwan "kindly" suggested:
"Comrade Xia, you're just too kind-hearted. Those who can't tell right from wrong should go hungry for a couple of meals, so they don't get too full and lose their sense of right and wrong!"
Xia Ning has feelings for Tang Zixuan, but not to the point of unconditional tolerance.
Tang Zixuan always helped Bai Yueyao, subtly and overtly telling her to tolerate this matter, and Xia Ning had already had enough.
Upon hearing Zhong Wanwan's words, Xia Ning immediately replied:
"Okay, half of them won't be enough for you, so I'll keep 10 for myself, and the remaining 20 will be for you!"
As she spoke, Xia Ning took out a paper bag from her pocket, took out ten of the items, kept them for herself, and handed the large paper bag to Zhong Wanwan.
Zhong Wanwan quickly took the paper bag and took out money and tickets from her pocket to give to Xia Ning.
The two of them did it so smoothly that Tang Zixuan was stunned. It wasn't until Bai Yueyao nudged him that Tang Zixuan came to his senses, and he hurriedly said:
"Xia Ning, what are you doing? We bought this together, how can you just give it to someone else?"
Xia Ning showed no mercy this time, coldly saying:
"Bought them together? Did you and Bai Yueyao pay for them and provide the tickets?"
Tang Zixuan didn't expect Xia Ning to be so particular this time; she had never cared about money or tickets before.
And what does it mean that she said it so openly? How will others see him? Won't they think he's a gigolo who lives off women?
Tang Zixuan said with a dark face:
"Xia Ning, I misjudged you. I didn't expect you to be such a calculating person. I was thinking that we could go to Red Star Farm together and share the money and tickets so that we could look out for each other. But you're so calculating!"
"Okay, okay, okay, how much did it cost for all the things we bought in the countryside? I'll give it to you right now!"
As he spoke, Tang Zixuan, in a fit of pique, took out his money and tickets and handed them to Xia Ning without even looking at them.
Tang Zixuan's actions made Xia Ning somewhat hesitant.
If it were just her, she wouldn't have any concerns, but Xia Ning went to the countryside to take care of her maternal grandfather and maternal uncle.
Tang Zixuan's family and her family had a good relationship, and if anything happened, she would need him to help cover it up. Thinking of this, Xia Ning hesitated.
Zhong Wanwan knew Xia Ning's concerns, but she didn't think so.
In her view, it's better to rely on yourself than on others.
Rather than compromising yourself and spending money, it's better to become strong so you can help whomever you want when the time comes.
Zhong Wanwan offered some advice:
"Some people always use the excuse of looking after others to take advantage of them. In the end, it's unclear whether they're the ones who are looking after others or the ones who are looking after them!"
These words were originally meant to threaten Xia Ning, and seeing Xia Ning hesitate, Tang Zixuan was still quite pleased with himself.
As a result, Zhong Wanwan intervened and revealed his intentions, leaving Tang Zixuan, who valued his reputation, with no choice but to give it to her!
Tang Zixuan threw the money and tickets in front of Xia Ning, turned his head to the side, and refused to look at Xia Ning again.
Zhong Wanwan pressed on, saying:
"Hey, you, Yueyao, don't you have to pay the money and the tickets too?"
Bai Yueyao wanted to renege on her debt, but with so many people watching, and most importantly, Tang Zixuan standing nearby, she didn't want to leave a bad impression of being stingy in his eyes.
He had no choice but to reluctantly take out the money and tickets and hand them to Xia Ning.
It was something Xia Ning deserved, so she didn't feel she shouldn't accept it and put it in her pocket.
Tang Zixuan was furious when he saw this.
He thought that if he did this, Xia Ning would soften and coax him, but he didn't expect her to accept it directly. Now he couldn't back out even if he wanted to!
When Zhong Wanwan heard this, she realized that the place they were going to was the Red Star Farm, and a thought suddenly occurred to her.
She remembered reading in the book that when they came to pick up Xia Ning and the other two educated youths, the tractor broke down on the way.
Bai Yueyao is a modern-day female college student from a rural area who was admitted to university; her family owned a tractor.
Although she had never repaired it, she often heard her father talk about the parts of the tractor that frequently broke down.
She immediately pointed out several places where the tractors might break down. Because of this, the farm leader who came to pick them up remembered Bai Yueyao.
This explains why so many people wanted to be tractor drivers in later conversations, and why the farm leaders chose Bai Yueyao.
