Song Yining felt like she was running into a never-ending series of bad luck today, encountering these good-for-nothing hooligans.
Those guys had already eaten inside, and when they saw a lone girl who had bought so much food, they wanted to go up and flirt with her.
She took the lunchbox she was carrying and looked at the four young people who were about her age, blocking the doorway from which she was leaving.
Song Yining looked at them and said, "You guys get out of the way right now. Don't think that just because you're blocking the way, I can't get through. The restaurant still needs to operate normally. Let's talk at the front so it won't affect other people's meals. Is that alright?"
The group exchanged glances, surprised that this girl was so responsive. They nodded and walked out. Song Yining put all the food she was holding into her backpack, which was actually inside the room.
That way, when she cleans up these few later, the good-for-nothing won't feel bad about wasting her food.
The people on the street hadn't gone home yet, and Song Yining wanted to catch the last bus back to town, but that was hopeless. Luckily, she had a bicycle in her spatial storage.
Then I'll just play with them for a while today; this is never going to end.
I wonder which spoiled brat is trying to act cool in public, thinking he's so handsome.
They walked to the alley opposite the restaurant. There was no one in the alley except for the five of them.
Seeing that Song Yining didn't seem afraid, the four people became interested.
One of them, a roguish young man, had a mole on his face, which added to his comical appearance, making him comparable to the matchmakers of ancient times.
However, the way he spoke was completely different from that of a matchmaker.
Matchmakers usually speak according to the client's taste, but these women, like peacocks, parade around saying things like, "Sister, our boss has taken a liking to you and wants to get to know you. How about becoming his girlfriend?"
His family has connections; they can protect you. From now on, you can do whatever you want in the county; nobody can bully you.
Song Yining watched the group talk with amusement, then pointed to the short man in the middle with a pockmarked face and said that his family had a good background.
"Then tell me, what kind of background do you have that you're so proud of, that no one in the whole county has dared to touch you?"
Don't be scared when I tell you this: "The man next to me is the son of the top official of the county government. Isn't that amazing?"
"Wow, that's really impressive. I'm actually scared!"
Seeing Song Yining's frightened expression, the group finally felt a sense of accomplishment.
She pretended to be scared again, saying, "What kind of families do you all come from? Let me see what we have to compare. Let me see your strength, you agree!"
The group looked at each other, and finally revealed their backgrounds.
The young man with a mole said, "My dad is the workshop director at a transformer factory, and my mom works in the factory office too."
"Oh, then they must be quite well-off, a dual-income family."
The young man with a crew cut said, "My dad works at the police station. The station chief is in charge of the county's security."
"So you guys are thinking of harassing single girls, but someone's covering for you."
The young man with slightly long hair said, "My dad was a squad leader in the GW Association, and my mom worked in the educated youth office."
"So they even control the fate of the educated youth; that's quite a powerful position!"
"That's not true!"
"Oh, I understand!"
The group proudly listed their parents' positions, and Song Yining memorized them all, wondering what kind of people they were and how they could raise such delinquents.
If they are truly unclean, then she might as well help them and let them experience the hardships of life.
Song Yining looked at those idiots, who were still smugly enjoying their family life.
Song Yining pretended to look at the four people with a troubled expression, showing that she was having a hard time making a decision, and her performance was full of the "green tea" vibe.
"Oh! After hearing that you all come from good families, I don't know how you can choose!"
What should we do? How about you guys have a competition to see who's better? That way I can see who's stronger and then choose who to be friends with. That way I won't lose out!
The four of them looked at each other, unsure of what to do. They were just spoiled kids who didn't know the harsh realities of life.
Song Yining's few simple words ignited their competitive spirit. Hearing that the girl was having a hard time making a decision, they became restless.
They started a two-on-one duel, and the fight was so intense that it was hard to tell who was who. In the end, everyone was left with bruises and swelling on their faces.
It's ridiculous, and they're still oblivious to it, still thinking about the winners and having a showdown between them.
The victors were already preparing for a rematch, while the losers, feeling they had lost face that day, watched as the two men started fighting again.
While they were locked in a fierce battle, Song Yining looked at the two who had lost and said in a teasing tone, "Look how evenly they're fighting. Go and help them out, or you'll hurt them."
After saying that, Song Yining felt goosebumps all over her body. The two men who were watching the fight were a little hesitant to join in, as they were still in pain. Out of consideration for their pride, they went up to break up the fight.
Seeing the four of them tangled together, Song Yining quickly took advantage of their inattention to put away her bag and ran out of the city like the wind.
The four of them had just separated when they looked at the empty alley and realized that the girl was nowhere to be seen. They had been completely fooled.
The four of them stared blankly around, not seeing the girl, before standing up and rubbing their bodies, which were covered in soreness from the beating.
Seeing the injuries on the four people's faces, Jie Ni suddenly remembered that the girl must be one of the people around them. They quickly stood up and split up to search around.
Song Yining was speaking authentic local dialect at the time, so they couldn't tell that she wasn't a local.
After running for a while and finding no one following her, Song Yining took out her bicycle from her spatial storage and rode it back to the commune.
The four men searched the surrounding area but couldn't find a trace of her, and they didn't even know the girl's name.
The four of them could only accept their bad luck today and would have to cover up their lie when they got home. They agreed to look for someone around the county town tomorrow.
Look where that heartless woman is; they're here to torture her properly and avenge the humiliation they suffered today.
Zhang Wulang had been secretly observing the girl's movements.
She, who never liked to meddle in other people's business, watched the whole thing from the beginning, saw that she could handle it and left, and didn't pay any more attention after that.
Song Yining was unaware that besides the five of them, there was another person secretly observing them. They were all busy dealing with them and didn't realize anyone was watching them.
Fortunately, Song Yining did not encounter any acquaintances along the way while riding her bicycle, and arrived at the territory of Yangjia Village.
Song Yining put away her bicycle, took out the package her grandfather had sent, and returned to the Yang family home with the things she had bought.
Yang Sansao saw Song Yining's large and small bags again, and her eyes were practically glued to them.
Grandma Yang shook her head at their blatant stares, but Song Yining ignored them and went straight back to her room with her things.
I took out the portion meant for Grandma Yang and put it in her room.
Yang Sansao thought she would get a chance, but Song Yining completely ignored her.
