Chapter 294
Yu Tong had already arrived and was eating melon seeds. When he saw Ye Fuyue, he smiled brightly: "Fuyue, you are so slow."
"You're quite fast." Ye Fuyue smiled at her: "How did you get here?"
"I came here by bike. I followed the signs and found Qiao'er." Yu Tong said, handing over the sunflower seeds in his hand: "Eat some sunflower seeds."
Ye Fuyue grabbed a small handful.
Yu Tong handed the melon seeds to Cai Chunxing who had followed him: "Comrade, you can eat some too."
Cai Chunxing smiled and grabbed a handful as well.
"Look, I brought dried sweet potatoes, Wanying brought rice cakes, and Yu Tong brought melon seeds. What did you bring?" Wu Qiaoer asked with a raised eyebrow.
Ye Fuyue opened the bag she was carrying and gave them: "I made my own fried candied chestnuts."
"Wow——" Yu Wanying exclaimed, then grabbed a handful.
Wu Qiaoer and Yu Tong also grabbed a handful each.
Cai Chunxing stood aside, not knowing whether he should grab a handful.
Ye Fuyue took the initiative to say to her: "Try it."
Cai Chunxing smiled happily and grabbed a small handful.
She asked, "I don't have anything with me. Can I sit with you?"
She quickly added, "I can give you money!"
Ye Fuyue and the other two were stunned for a moment, then they started laughing.
"Who wants your money? We don't have much with us, and it won't be much if we spread it out to each person." Ye Fuyue said.
"Yeah," Yu Wanying also said, "Why don't you sit with us? It'll be more lively with more people."
Seeing that Ye Fuyue and the other two agreed, Cai Chunxing sat down happily.
The four of them ate and chatted while waiting for the movie to start.
"Cai Chunxing." Huang Xiu came over and greeted Cai Chunxing with a smile.
Cai Chunxing glanced at him and ignored him.
Huang Xiu didn't feel awkward at all. Instead, his smile grew even warmer. "Are you alone? Why don't you see Director Cai?"
"How would I know?" Cai Chunxing said with a slightly impatient tone.
"Why aren't you sitting with your classmates?" Huang Xiu asked again.
"The factory doesn't stipulate that departments must sit together. I can sit wherever I want." Cai Chunxing said.
"We have quite a bit of space over there. Would you like to come over and sit with us?" Huang Xiu remained as enthusiastic as ever.
"Do I know you well? Why should I go with you?" Cai Chunxing said rudely.
Huang Xiu's face showed a little embarrassment.
He glanced at Ye Fuyue and the other two who were either openly or secretly eating melons, and said to Cai Chunxing, "You have so much food here. What else do you want? I'll buy it for you."
"I'm not penniless and helpless. I can buy what I want to eat myself. Do I need you to do it?" Cai Chunxing became more and more impatient.
"It's cold outside, it's snowed, and the road is slippery. I'm worried you might fall." Huang Xiu looked concerned.
"I've told you so many times to mind your own business and talk less to me, but you just won't listen. It's not your turn to worry about my affairs." Cai Chunxing frowned, and his tone became more and more impolite.
Huang Xiu then felt humiliated and felt a little embarrassed.
He stole a glance at Ye Fuyue and the other two who were enjoying themselves, and said to Cai Chunxing as if to save face, "I'll be sitting over there. If you need any help, just call me anytime."
After saying that, he left.
Cai Chunxing was so angry at Huang Xiu's shameless attitude that he rolled his eyes several times.
Yu Tong asked Cai Chunxing while eating sunflower seeds: "Does he like you? Does he want to pursue you?"
"I don't like him, and I don't want someone like him chasing me." Cai Chunxing said angrily.
"What's wrong with him? I don't think he looks that bad." Yu Tong said.
"Anyway, he is not a good person. If you don't believe me, ask Yu Wanying and Wu Qiaoer." Cai Chunxing said.
Yu Tong looked at Yu Wanying and Wu Qiaoer with curiosity.
Yu Wanying said, "Huang Xiu is really not that good. He always acts so self-righteous in front of Qiao'er and me. He even looks down on us for getting into the Propaganda Department through connections, but he didn't get in through connections himself. Besides himself, there's no one else in the Propaganda Department that he looks up to. But his own abilities aren't that great either. His manuscripts aren't even as good as mine."
Yu Tong understood: "Then this person is really not very good."
"Yeah! What kind of person is he? Do you think I don't know? You always come to bother me and pretend to be a good person in front of me. It's so annoying." Cai Chunxing frowned and complained.
They sat for a while, and Ye Fuyue saw Zhao Tianle and Xia Peng.
Zhao Tianle also noticed Ye Fuyue and pulled Xia Peng over to say hello.
"Comrade Ye, please sit here!" Zhao Tianle nodded to Yu Wanying and the others.
"Yes." Ye Fuyue said, "Are you two the only ones here? Isn't Tian Hao with you?"
"Tian Hao said he wanted to accompany his wife, so he won't come." Zhao Tianle said.
Ye Fuyue smiled: "That's it."
This time, Xiangyang Furniture Factory is showing movies as a benefit for the factory employees. The employees can come if they want to, and they are also welcome to come if they don’t want to. It is not a mandatory requirement.
"Thanks to you for what happened last time. Thank you." Ye Fuyue was talking about Old Lady Duan.
Zhao Tianle looked a bit sad. "Why thank you? I didn't help at all. If only I could find Old Lady Duan earlier."
Last time, after Zhao Tianle sent Old Lady Duan to the hospital, Duan's mother and Duan Dawei came over to personally thank Zhao Tianle. They had originally wanted to bring some gifts to formally thank Zhao Tianle, but Zhao Tianle felt that he had not been of much help, and Duan's mother and Duan Dawei had to deal with Old Lady Duan's funeral, so he said he would not let Duan's mother and Duan Dawei thank him again.
Zhao Tianle chatted with Ye Fuyue for a few more words, then he and Xia Peng returned to their seats.
"Fu Yue, what was the last thing you mentioned?" Wu Qiaoer asked curiously.
Ye Fuyue told a few people about the matter between Old Mrs. Duan and Old Man Duan.
After he finished speaking, several people were filled with indignation.
"Old man Duan is not a good person! What's the difference between him and a murderer! Old lady Duan was indirectly killed by him!" Cai Chunxing said.
"Old Mrs. Duan suffered a lot her whole life, and she couldn't even die in peace," said Wu Qiaoer.
"If I found a man who treated me like this, I would definitely die with him long ago!" Yu Wanying said.
"Women of our grandmothers' generation wouldn't have such awareness." Yu Tong said, "Most would endure for their entire lives, and when they couldn't, they would end their lives quietly without causing any trouble to others."
Everyone was silent.
After a moment, Ye Fuyue said, "There are many women like this now. When they can't bear it anymore, they end their own lives."
Cai Chunxing nodded: "We must not become such people. Whoever makes us unable to endure, we will fight against them!"
Wu Qiaoer, Yu Wanying and Yu Tong all nodded in agreement.
The movie starts at this time.
