"Then the two of them will eat Meng Rui's food. At least Meng Rui's food will be enough for them to eat until spring. And when the potatoes are harvested in a few months, it will be enough for them to eat until the autumn harvest." Tian Yun said.
Tian Tian shook her head in an unfathomable manner, "Sister Tian Yun, you are still too naive! Guess why Li Hong stole Li Jiuniang's food? It was because Meng Rui didn't give Li Hong food! He is so shameless. He ate up all the food of the girl and now he doesn't want to give it back to the girl. He just watched her do such a sneaky thing. He is not a real man! Sister Yunyun, Lingling, you two have to open your eyes. If I meet a man who asks you for something, all men are greedy and you must not be friends with them!"
Tian Yun is now seventeen years old, and has reached the age to discuss marriage. Li Dahua is looking for a date for her these days. When she heard Tian Tian say this, Tian Yun blushed, "What are you talking about? What's good or bad?"
Tian Tian looked at Tian Yun and shook her head helplessly, "Sister Yunyun! You can't be shy about this kind of thing. That person is going to spend your whole life with you, you must open your eyes and take a closer look. What if that person hides his bad side well and reveals his bad side after you get married? What will you do then?"
Although Tian Yun's face was still a little hot, he was still thoughtful after listening to Tian Tian's words.
The three sisters were holding basins and preparing to go to the creek where they had picked crickets in the morning. As they passed by a pile of firewood on the side of the road, they heard people arguing.
"Meng Rui! Are you still a man? The food you ate before was all mine! Now that I have eaten my food, you are unwilling to give me any food to help me, and you are still thinking of cutting off your relationship with me? You are really a loser!"
It's Li Hong's voice.
Tian Tian and the other two looked at each other. The sound seemed to be coming from behind someone's firewood pile on the side of the road. They didn't dare to move forward for fear of bumping into the two of them.
Although Tian Tian loved to watch the fun, she didn't want to eavesdrop on other people's conversations. She glanced at Tian Yun and Shen Lingling, then pointed behind her, meaning that they should return the same way they came.
Tian Yun and Shen Lingling also nodded. The three of them tiptoed and walked back a few hundred meters. Only when they were sure that they could no longer hear Li Hong and the others talking did they breathe a sigh of relief.
"Listening to what Li Hong said just now, it turns out that what she said about giving food to Meng Rui was actually true! Isn't Meng Rui too shameless? I used to think he looked fair and tender and had the gentle appearance of a scholar, but I didn't expect that he was so bad and took advantage of the female educated youth!" Tian Yun said indignantly.
She had previously doubted the truthfulness of what Shen Lingling said, thinking that a man could not be so shameless, but she did not expect that she would be slapped in the face now.
Tian Tian nodded, "Sister Yunyun, you don't know that Meng Rui used to come to me all the time and read those sour poems to me. But later, I fell into the water, so he stopped coming to me. Then do you know why Li Hong and Li Jiuniang have such a bad relationship?"
"Why?" Shen Lingling and Tian Yun asked at the same time.
"It's because Li Hong likes Meng Rui, but Meng Rui thinks that Li Jiuniang is pretty, and he likes Li Jiuniang. That's why Li Hong has always looked down on Li Jiuniang." Tian Tian said.
In the original novel, Meng Rui saw that Li Jiuniang's family conditions seemed to be quite good, and he didn't care much about the amount of food he ate. He would go to the county town from time to time, and when he came back he would bring back a lot of snacks and malted milk. He wanted to take advantage of Li Jiuniang, so he tried to please Li Jiuniang everywhere.
But she didn't say anything. She seldom interacted with the educated youth and had no way of explaining to others how she knew so much.
"Isn't Li Hong too pitiful? She has a bad relationship with other people in the educated youth point, she has no food, and she was deceived by Meng Rui. Now my father has a very bad impression of her. She even complained to my grandma for a long time when she came home yesterday! Li Hong is also stupid." Tian Yun felt that Li Hong was very pitiful. Now her reputation in their team was not good at all. It was estimated that if anything happened in the future, few people would be willing to help Li Hong.
"Oh! That's right!" Tian Tian also sighed, "Men are really troublesome!"
I secretly decided that I must be more careful when looking for a partner in the future, at least to find someone like Tian Lisong.
The place where the three of them were standing just happened to allow them to see the entrance of the educated youth center. This way, when Li Hong and the others returned to the educated youth center later, the three of them would be able to see them.
There was no trace of Li Hong now. She must still be talking to Meng Rui there. The three of them were squatting in a small corner chatting.
Li Hong's side.
Li Hong looked at Meng Rui's sanctimonious and worried expression and sneered in her heart.
During this period, she cooked for the two of them. Meng Rui came up to her and said that he didn't know how to cook and it would be a waste of food. He said that they could just share the food and he would collect the firewood while she cooked.
She thought that collecting firewood was not an easy task, and she could not collect much even if she went up the mountain.
Just as Meng Rui brought up this matter, she thought that she had to eat every day anyway, so she might as well cook a little more. With Meng Rui collecting firewood, she didn't have to worry about running out of firewood, and she actually cooked for him.
As a result, Meng Rui only picked up a few small branches a day, which was enough for his meals.
She also mentioned Meng Rui at the beginning, but Meng Rui made an excuse that the weather was too cold and the mountain road was difficult to walk on, and he would wait until the weather was warmer before collecting firewood.
The weather was indeed quite cold at that time, and it snowed frequently, so Li Hong believed what Meng Rui said.
Until yesterday when the food ran out, she went to ask Meng Rui for food, but Meng Rui kept talking about other things and never mentioned the food.
She recognized Meng Rui's true face at that time. She had thought that she would secretly steal a portion of Meng Rui's food today and get her share back.
She didn't know that the food belonged to Meng Rui. She thought that Meng Rui had been eating her food all this time, and her food should not have been touched much. Since she had the most food, she took half of it for herself.
Just at this moment Li Jiuniang came in. Seeing this scene, she thought that Li Hong had stolen her food. With new and old grudges, and the two of them talking to each other, they started fighting.
She suffered a lot in the fight with Li Jiuniang today, but she didn't blame Li Jiuniang. If someone stole her food, she would definitely not give in.
After the fight today, she suddenly came to her senses. She had offended many people because of Meng Rui's trouble-making. It was normal for people to hate her.
She didn't know why she had always thought Meng Rui was a good person.
