Liu Shengli's initially aggressive demeanor froze, and after glancing at the two men, his face turned ashen.
Men, in many cases, don't need to fight; a single glance is enough to determine whether they can win or not.
The two men in front of them didn't look like easy targets; their auras suggested they were trained fighters. Fu Chaoqi, in particular, was intimidating, with a burly build that clearly indicated he was a formidable fighter.
Liu Shengli's side consisted of three male educated youths, three against two, but they were all ordinary people and couldn't win at all.
Fu Chaosheng raised an eyebrow, seemingly a little expectant. "You want to fight?"
Liu Shengli's face darkened, but he ultimately didn't dare to confront him directly. He snorted coldly and turned to leave.
The villagers building the houses acted as if they didn't see the conflict between the old and new educated youth, and some even watched the spectacle with great interest.
The brigade leader had finished making arrangements and left. As long as nothing serious happened, no one would interfere with the affairs of these educated youth.
The three Wu siblings were quite disappointed that no fight broke out here.
They didn't like either side. Whether Xu Jing beat up Liu Shengli or Liu Shengli beat up both of them, they were happy.
Meng Fuyan brought iron pots, steel pots, and earthenware pots, but the iron pots were not big, only slightly larger than those used on gas stoves.
She bought this in her previous life in the 21st century. Back then, resources were plentiful, and the iron pot that was precious in the 1970s was worthless at that time. She still has quite a few of them stored in her space!
Meng Fuyan took out the stove. She had coal briquettes, but no firewood to start the fire, so she went to the village to exchange them for some firewood and vegetables.
She soon returned with a basket of vegetables and a bundle of firewood. When she got home, she saw that Xu Jing had also returned, with two bundles of firewood and a basket of vegetables beside him.
It seems everyone uses the same methods to solve problems.
Fu Chaosheng had already built a simple stove with a few stones and was cooking.
Meng Fuyan lit the stove, washed her pots and pans, and started cooking.
Wash the cured pork and cut it into strips. Stir-fry it in a pot until fragrant, then add water. Once the water boils, add some noodles and cook them, then wash some green vegetables.
Meng Fuyan chopped some of the pickled vegetables she had brought, and after the noodles were cooked, she sprinkled some chopped green onions on top, and they were ready to eat.
It smells amazing!
Sometimes, cured and salted meat can smell even better than fresh meat; the smell is so strong that people around can smell it. Several workers took a deep sniff.
Meng Yunji also woke up, and Meng Fuyan quickly told him to wash his face and come over for dinner.
Jiang Hua watched from the side, his eyes fixed on the basket of vegetables. "Excuse me, how much did you trade for this basket of vegetables?"
Xu Jing looked up at him and casually said, "You gave me a pound of sugar coupons, two White Rabbit milk candies, firewood, vegetables, and this basket."
Jiang Hua nodded. "Thank you!"
He locked the door and went into the village.
He was a local resident and brought his own dry rations with him, enough for three days, so he wouldn't go hungry even without using the kitchen at the educated youth settlement.
But who would want to eat dry rations if they could cook? Besides, he also wanted to boil some water or something.
He originally didn't want to offend those old educated youth, but they went too far, so he couldn't be blamed.
It's just a little firewood and vegetables. The villagers have plenty of those. They can easily get a lot by spending a little money. Why should we put up with their bad temper?
After Jiang Hua left, Liu Shengli, who was watching from the side, became increasingly displeased, feeling that these people were too arrogant and didn't take him seriously.
"Hmph! Just you wait and see. No matter how arrogant you are when you first arrive, once you've spent more time in the countryside, you'll be obedient and listen to everyone!"
The group made some harsh remarks and then went their separate ways.
The Wu siblings smelled the aroma of food from Meng Fuyan's place and were furious.
"Sister, how could Meng Fuyan do this? She didn't even invite us to dinner! And she's shameless. She's only just arrived and she's already seducing men. What will she be like in the future? She'll definitely embarrass us."
Wu Chengye sneered, "Aren't all the women in the Meng family the same? Just like her mother who seduces men everywhere. That's how her mother made money among men back then."
"She's a shameless wretch, yet she spends money like a rich heiress all the time. All the money she spends comes from her father. He's raised her for nothing all these years. If he stops giving her money, let's see what she can do then."
Meng Fuyan's past life was like paradise to the Wu siblings. They were all born of the same father, but their treatment was worlds apart. How could they not be jealous?
Wu Siyu knew that they couldn't do anything to Meng Fuyan in a short time.
“She has the two thousand yuan her father gave her, enough for her to live a carefree life for a long time. Besides, she has always had her own savings. Gu Tingzhi and his gang probably have their eyes on that brat’s beauty. Not giving her money won’t stop her anytime soon. We need to think of another way.”
The group thought for a long time, but still couldn't come up with a solution.
Having just arrived, they haven't even settled in yet, so how could they possibly harm Meng Fuyan?
“Let’s go to the village and get some food. Things are cheap there, so we don’t have to worry about those old educated youth.”
"Um!"
After finishing her meal, Meng Fuyan went back to her room to pack her luggage.
She took out some frequently used items, tidied them up, and then took a stroll around the village. When she returned, she had two baskets on her back, two small baskets, two small sewing baskets that could be used to store some odds and ends, two small stools, and three straw mats.
This straw mat is laid on the kang (a heated brick bed) or hung on the wall; it can keep you warm and keep out dust.
Things in the village are very cheap; the villagers can make them themselves, so it's easy to get them.
When Meng Fuyan returned, Jiang Hua was already cooking soup. He didn't have an iron pot, but he brought a small earthenware pot and a steel pot, which he could manage by himself.
As for the Wu siblings, they were already having dinner.
Meng Fuyan didn't look at it for long.
Although these three people arrived in a hurry, they were, after all, the deputy factory director's children, and were certainly wealthier than ordinary people.
The family used to be well-off, and these people all had some pocket money. Although she robbed the house of everything, everyone should still have some money on them. Wu Guozhu came back to get clothes to take to the hospital. The whole family was eating and drinking outside, and there were triplets with them. How could they not have any money on them?
Moreover, she found two bankbooks in the master bedroom with several thousand yuan in them. She didn't know the passwords and couldn't withdraw the money. She wondered if Wu Guozhu could get his hands on the money. If he could, these people would still have money to spend for a while.
after……
It's hard to say!
The construction team was still building the house and didn't leave until dark.
As darkness fell, Meng Fuyan had already boiled water, and after washing up with her younger brother, they climbed onto the kang (a heated brick bed).
