Chapter 41: Shameless people without credibility will make people angry
"Sister-in-law Gu, I was scared silly by them. Let me help you up." The woman who first attacked Ye Siran said in a flattering manner.
She and Aunt Gu were next-door neighbors, and it was Aunt Gu who introduced her to the farm canteen.
At the beginning, she was grateful, but as time went on she became jealous of Gu.
Doesn’t Mrs. Gu just have an uncle who is a farm manager? Why does he live so much better than her?
Her daughter is ugly but marries a good wife, and her son is short but chooses a tall daughter-in-law. Why does her son, who is tall and strong, marry a tiny girl?
Although she was jealous and hateful in her heart, she continued to please Mrs. Gu on the surface.
Because the women in their village are scrambling to get a job in the farm canteen, where the salary is high and the food is good.
Ye Siran didn't know that the women had their own thoughts. As soon as they walked out of the farm, they saw Zhong Qingfeng and Qu Chengyuan.
When Zhong Qingfeng saw Wen Lin, he greeted her warmly, "Hey, Wen Zhiqing is off work, Chengyuan and I will take you and Ye Zhiqing home."
"How much do you charge for going back from the farm?" Wen Lin asked with a smile. She was naturally happy that she didn't have to walk.
"It's free. We just happened to deliver something here and are going back at the same time." Zhong Qingfeng said half-truthfully.
It was true that he was running errands for someone and buying things for them and delivering them, but it was also true that he was waiting for Wen Lin and the others at the door, after all, Wen Lin was very generous.
He said he didn't want money, and the other party wouldn't treat him unfairly. Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, he heard Wen Lin say forcefully: "You can't not take money, I'll give you a dime each."
"Will you come to pick us up later?" Xiao Zhiyu didn't want to walk either.
"Xiao Zhiqing, you just arrived and don't know how expensive oil, salt, firewood and rice are. The road conditions are difficult to travel on. It's better for us to walk faster than riding a bicycle." Wang Fang advised quietly.
Ye Siran had good hearing, so she also advised, "Xiao Zhiyu, please walk slowly. Ranran and I will go back to cook first. Didn't you say you would eat with us?"
"Then I'll walk. You guys go back and cook first. I'll pay for the food and your hard work." Xiao Zhiyu said indifferently.
"Ye Zhiqing, can you cook dinner for me? I have money on me." Wang Fang asked tentatively.
It’s not that she can’t cook, but when she cooked something delicious, other educated youth would circle around her, making her feel embarrassed.
In the end, she could only ask everyone to eat together. She might not mind it once or twice, but after it happened too many times, she felt very aggrieved.
So she simply ate coarse food with everyone else, preferring to mistreat her stomach than to feel uncomfortable.
"Ye Zhiqing, when I receive the package from home, I will join you guys then." An Tao said.
"An Zhiqing, I believe in your character. If you want to partner with us, we can owe you some money first."
If it were any other educated youth, Ye Siran would never give them food first and then collect the money. Some people without credibility can just use their thick skin to make others angry to death.
"Then you give the tea to Zhong Qingfeng to hand over to the scorer." An Tao felt that Zhong Qingfeng could do more for the ten cents he received.
"Okay, then you guys walk faster, we'll have noodles tonight." Ye Siran said, looking back while sitting on the back seat of Qu Chengyuan's bicycle.
"It's great to eat noodles! I haven't eaten noodles for a long time!" An Tao sighed.
There were chickens and meat in Ye Siran's space, but it was not convenient to take them out, so she first turned the noodles in the space into money.
She was going to make a big pot of noodles to sell to the educated youth. She had some green vegetables in her space that had never appeared in those days.
If someone asked, she would say that they were wild vegetables picked from the farm, but in the end no one asked.
Wen Lin had learned how to make a fire yesterday, and she started to do it on her own as soon as she got home.
Ye Siran washed the pot and cooked a big pot of vegetable noodles. In this age of hunger, the noodles alone were delicious, and she added lard, making it extra fragrant.
When An Tao and his two companions came back, they saw many educated youth gathered at the entrance of Ye Siran's cave and peeking in.
Xiao Zhiyu asked in a loud voice: "What are you all doing around Sister Ye and Sister Wen's door?"
"Xiao Zhiqing, those two are making delicious food again. Go in and ask if they can bring some out for everyone to eat together?" Xia Tiantian instigated.
When Xiao Zhiyu didn't know how to answer, he heard Wen Lin push open the door and said with a smile: "You don't need to ask, whoever wants to eat can bring money to buy it, ten cents a bowl of noodles."
"Ten cents a bowl? Why don't you go and rob it?" a female educated youth asked loudly.
"That's right, you're too cruel. The plain noodles in the state-owned restaurant are only eight cents a bowl."
"Why would a few noodles cost so much? We are all educated youth gathered together from all corners of the country. Why should we haggle over every penny?"
"If you don't mind, go back and cook it yourself. I don't know how to cook and don't want to cook. Sister Wen, give me a bowl. This is ten cents."
Xiao Zhiyu pushed everyone aside without any hesitation. He handed a dime to Wen Lin in one hand and the bowl in the other.
Wen Lin quickly took the money and the bowl, then went in and got a bowl of fragrant vegetable noodles, "Here you go."
"Thank you, Sister Wen. It smells so good!" Xiao Zhiyu took the bowl and couldn't wait to pick up a piece of food with chopsticks and put it in his mouth.
"Wen Zhiqing, I want a bowl too." An Tao handed over the bowl with both hands, and no one else saw whether he paid for it.
But the educated youth who lived in the same cave with him knew that he had no money. "An Zhiqing, you can eat noodles without paying?"
"Yes, I borrowed a dime from Zhong Qingfeng before." An Tao lied without changing his expression.
"Is that so? Then give me some to try!" the man asked shamelessly.
"No, I haven't eaten anything all day and I'm starving." An Tao said as he ate with big mouthfuls, looking like a starving ghost.
Wang Fang also bought a bowl of noodles, but she didn't come out at all. She just hid in Ye Siran's cave to eat.
Jian Yueshi only bought daily necessities yesterday and didn't buy any food. Xia Tiantian used her money and went around the whole village but couldn't buy any rice.
Before the double harvest, there is a shortage of rice, and every household has almost no rice. Maybe some people still have a little at home, but they will not use it to attract hatred.
In desperation, Xia Tiantian could only buy a few black steamed buns and a plate of pickles from a village woman, and spent five cents.
When Jian Yueshi heard that she could buy a bowl of noodles for ten cents, she happily took the bowl and money and bought a bowl.
Since she didn't ask Xia Tiantian to run errands, she naturally wouldn't give Xia Tiantian any food. After all, every penny she spent was a penny less.
Xia Tiantian smelled the aroma of noodles in her bowl, lowered her eyes and sobbed softly, "Shishi, won't you give me some?"
"Tiantian, if you want to eat it, go buy a bowl. Mm, it's really delicious, even better than the noodles in the state-owned restaurant in Beijing."
Xia Tiantian was so angry at Jian Yueshi’s words that she wanted to vomit blood. Even though she had money, would she still be Jian Yueshi’s lackey?
"Wen Zhiqing and I don't get along, woooo... I'm really hungry." Xia Tiantian stood in front of Xiao Zhiyu and cried.
But Xiao Zhiyu is still a boy who has not grown up and does not understand the beauty of a woman's tears.
Some male educated youth could not bear to see the beautiful woman cry, but their own stomachs had not been filled for a long time, so they wanted to be gentle with her but were unable to do so.
