Looking at how tightly wrapped up this place, she was certain that Tang Bainian could definitely tell the value of this teacup!
Feeling uneasy and guilty, I looked up at him.
Although she and Tang Bainian had some connection, she had heard that people in their line of work were all upright and honest. Would he think she was acting like a capitalist?
Tang Bainian chuckled: "In your eyes, am I the kind of person who would betray my friends?"
“Of course not,” Yang Qingheng gave a dry laugh. “Thank you, Officer Tang, for bringing the things back to me.”
Tang Bainian waved his hand: "No need to be so formal, it's just returning it to its rightful owner."
After thinking for a moment, I added a reminder: "You'd better take back that tea set from your house. It could cause trouble if someone notices it."
"I've already put it away, so you don't need to worry too much," Yang Qingheng nodded.
After using it once, she bought a new tea set for home. She had already wrapped the antique set in cloth and put it under the bed.
"That's good," Tang Bainian said a little embarrassed. "My aunt talks about you every day at home, saying she wants to invite you to dinner. Do you have time?"
"Of course, I'm free on weekends. You can see when is convenient for you." Yang Qingheng agreed, said goodbye, and walked quickly into the village.
Passing by the former educated youth settlement, she suddenly remembered that Gu Yi, that scumbag, hadn't paid back the money yet. She pursed her lips and walked inside.
"Hello, is Gu Yi inside?" she asked the person she caught.
The male educated youth looked her up and down with disdain: "Hey, what do you want with him?"
It hasn't been long since Gu Yi pushed her into the river, how come this woman, with such a pretty face, never learns her lesson?
As he spoke, he took several steps back, as if afraid of being tainted by something unclean.
Yang Qingheng pursed her lips, pretending not to see, and nodded: "Could you please call him for me?"
"Fine." The male educated youth rolled his eyes and walked inside.
Song Hengjue must have had the worst luck in his life to marry such a woman. He's still at home, and this woman has the audacity to come to the educated youth settlement to find her lover.
The female educated youth's quarters were right next door. Huo Xiuxiu peeked out and saw Yang Qingheng's alluring, fox-like face. Yang Qingheng rushed over with a broom, saying sarcastically, "Who do we have here? It's that shameless daughter-in-law from the Song family! You're itching for a husband as soon as he leaves, aren't you? You get all restless every day without him..."
She jumped up and down and cursed, attracting all the educated youth in the house to come over and watch the show, pointing and whispering about Yang Qingheng.
Yang Qingheng's eyes twitched twice: "Huo Zhiqing, did I dig up your ancestral graves or steal your man? Why are you so hostile towards me?"
When I watched the movie before, Huo Xiuxiu came out and started yelling at her, which I found inexplicable. She cheated on her husband in her past life, but apart from cheating, she didn't do anything else that was morally reprehensible.
Huo Xiuxiu scoffed, her expression righteous: "You fickle, wicked woman, I'll curse you, so what?"
“You need to provide evidence before you speak, otherwise you’re slandering me. I’m going to report you to the police station for deliberately damaging the reputation of women. Everyone here today is a witness, so you’ll have to testify for me then,” Yang Qingheng said loudly.
Several men nodded in agreement.
Upon hearing the word "police station," Huo Xiuxiu recalled her experience at the police station a few days ago and reflexively shrank back. She had no doubt about the credibility of her words and dared not speak again, only glaring at her fiercely with a look of resentment that could devour someone.
Unfortunately, no matter how fierce the gaze was, it couldn't hurt Yang Qingheng in the slightest. Instead, it inexplicably gave her a sense of secret satisfaction.
Inside the room, Gu Yi was so excited when he heard that Yang Qingheng had come to see him that he almost jumped out of bed.
He knew that Yang Qingheng, that stupid woman, couldn't live without him.
The educated youth who came in to deliver the message felt increasingly resentful seeing Gu Yi's smug expression.
How blind are these women to like this kind of scoundrel?
"Yang Qingheng, what do you want?" Gu Yi came out with a stern face, as if she made him dislike her presence.
Yang Qingheng knew perfectly well what kind of pipe dream this idiot was having. She rolled her eyes inwardly and said coldly, "What is it? Pay up! Don't play dumb with me!"
"Huh?" Gu Yi's smug expression froze, and he suddenly looked like a ridiculous clown.
"Pfft"
The male educated youth who had just spoken laughed out loud and leaned closer as if watching a good show: "So Comrade Yang has come to ask him to repay the money. May I see the IOU?"
I never thought this woman would actually have a brain.
Yang Qingheng glanced at him, reached into her pocket, pulled out the IOU, and spread it out in her palm.
The male educated youth leaned over for a look, and his expression instantly changed.
Others found it strange and came over to join in the fun.
Upon seeing this, everyone's expression changed.
"Gu Yi, I think you're really shameless, borrowing so much money from that female comrade in private." The male educated youth couldn't hold back any longer and cursed angrily.
That's over three hundred yuan! An ordinary worker's salary is only seventy yuan. He's asking for three hundred yuan right off the bat. If he were Song Hengjue, he'd want to smash his head in.
With such a large sum of money, it's no wonder Gu Yi was willing to murder for it.
"That's right, hurry up and return it to Comrade Yang." Others chimed in.
They said that they were honest and hardworking in their farm work and never caused any trouble for the villagers, so why did those villagers dislike them? It turned out that shameless people like him were ruining their reputation behind their backs.
Gu Yi's face turned bright red, and he stammered, "Didn't I say I'd pay you back when I had the money? Yang Qingheng, what's the rush? Can't you survive without this little bit of money?"
Yang Qingheng sneered: "That's not what you said when you borrowed the money. You said you don't have to pay it back if you don't have the money? What kind of logic is that? I'd rather be with your fiancé..."
"Yang Qingheng!" Gu Yi was so angry he jumped up and down.
"What are you yelling about? Hurry up and pay them back," the male educated youth said, unable to stand his bullying of the female comrade, and stepped over to separate them. "Don't say you don't have money. I saw you bring back two bottles of malted milk powder last night, and this morning you were bragging to us that you were going to buy leather shoes. Now that people are asking you to pay back the money, you suddenly have no money?"
"That's right! If you don't pay it back, we'll take Comrade Yang to the village chief and have a word with him!" Several educated youths were indignant and wished they could personally teach him a lesson.
Seeing everyone speaking up for her, Yang Qingheng felt a warmth in her heart and nodded in agreement: "Gu Yi, if you don't return it, I will really go and find someone."
The "looking for someone" in this context is obviously not referring to the village chief.
Gu Yi's face turned ashen, and he had no choice but to honestly return the money, his heart bleeding with pain.
That's three hundred yuan! He couldn't save up three hundred yuan in a year!
Seeing his dawdling, Yang Qingheng became impatient, snatched the money, and deliberately counted it several times in front of him: "Three hundred and sixteen, not a penny more or less. Gu Zhiqing, don't ask me for money next time. It's really troublesome to urge you to pay me back."
Gu Yi's vision blurred, and he almost fainted from anger: "Yang Qingheng, you'll regret this!"
Even if she begged him in the future, he wouldn't even glance at her again.
Having achieved her goal, Yang Qingheng took the money and left, not even bothering to give him a second glance.
