As she spoke, Ruan Miaomiao seemed to think the suggestion was quite good, and her tone became a little excited:
“Comrade, I’m serious. If you feel sorry for him and help him pay back the money, he won’t have to earn three work points every day to pay me back, and I won’t have to be annoyed by him every day.”
"..."
Zhou Shuhua's words were swallowed back by Ruan Miaomiao's words.
However, Shen Qingming, who was below the embankment, seemed to see light and looked at Zhou Shuhua with hope.
Watching the interaction between the two, Ruan Miaomiao immediately realized that Zhou Shuhua's feelings for Shen Qingming were not deep enough for her to help him by spending tens of yuan.
However, Shen Qingming had already set his sights on Zhou Shuhua.
The current Zhou Shuhua is just like her former self, bearing the marks of a wronged person who was given money and goods.
Rather than letting Shen Qingming trick Zhou Shuhua into giving her money to Zhao Xiuyun, it would be better to trick Zhou Shuhua into giving her money to him.
So she stepped on the yellow earth and walked quickly toward the two of them.
When he walked up to Shen Qingming, without any warning, he kicked him hard, sending him flying onto the edge of the ground.
As soon as Shen Qingming cried out in pain, Zhou Shuhua, who was on the edge of the ground, jumped down in alarm.
Looking at Shen Qingming with eyes full of worry:
"Ruan Miaomiao, are you a mad dog? Why did you kick the educated youth right away?"
Ruan Miaomiao was secretly pleased: Oh, so you're protecting her now?
It seems there's hope for her money.
Ignoring Zhou Shuhua's roar, Ruan Miaomiao flung Zhou Shuhua aside, grabbed Shen Qingming by the collar, and slapped him twice across the face.
After finishing, he looked at Zhou Shuhua provocatively:
“I am Shen Qingming’s creditor. As long as he hasn’t paid off his debts, I will have you come and beat him up every day.”
I have to say, after beating that person up, I felt incredibly refreshed; even the sunshine seemed brighter.
Having been hit again, Shen Qingming cursed Ruan Miaomiao's ancestors for eighteen generations in his heart, but on his face, he looked at Zhou Shuhua with eager anticipation.
That gaze, devout yet pleading, was as if looking at a savior.
Instantly, Zhou Shuhua was struck by that gaze, transforming into a saintly figure. She opened her arms to shield Shen Qingming behind her, and asked with a resolute expression:
"I've paid off whatever debt Shen Zhiqing owed you!"
After speaking so generously, Zhou Shuhua suddenly felt a little guilty: she only had fifty on her, what if she owed more than ninety?
After all, ninety is still several tens!
Hearing that Zhou Shuhua was willing to accept this transferred mess of debts, he was extremely satisfied and immediately spoke:
"Thirty-six yuan and ninety-five cents."
"..."
Upon hearing this number, Zhou Shuhua instantly breathed a sigh of relief, her expression turning disdainful.
"Tch, how much did I expect it to be? Just over thirty? Is it really worth you, Ruan, chasing after Shen to ask for it?"
As she spoke, Zhou Shuhua took out money from her inner pocket.
I used to keep this money in the small pocket in front of my underwear.
She had taken it out and put it in her inner pocket this morning after hearing about Shen Zhiqing's miserable situation last night.
Otherwise, she would have to perform a public display of pulling out her underwear.
However, if Ruan Miaomiao knew the whole story, she would definitely think to herself: Luckily, luckily, the male lead almost got to live a good life.
If the male and female leads can live a good life, it must be her mistake!
Seeing the money, Ruan Miaomiao was in a great mood, ignoring Zhou Shuhua's sarcastic remarks, and instead flattered her:
"Oh dear, I can't compare to your wealth and power, comrade."
After counting the money and confirming that everything was correct, Ruan Miaomiao left quickly, saying that from now on, Shen Qingming would owe Zhou Shuhua money.
In the midst of the hustle and bustle, Shen Qingming was in a daze:
What just happened?
Did that bitch hit him again?
"Shen Zhiqing, Ruan Miaomiao hit you, why didn't you fight back?"
Seeing Ruan Miaomiao take the money and leave, Zhou Shuhua was furious and turned to Shen Qingming to ask him a question.
Upon hearing this, Shen Qingming was both amused and exasperated: Did he not want to fight back?
That's because he simply can't beat them, okay?
However, he was unwilling to admit it in front of outsiders, especially in front of a woman who clearly admired him.
Leaning on his hoe, tidying his hair, and adjusting his glasses, Shen Qingming said with a helpless expression:
"Comrade Shuhua, my education and my values do not allow me to lay a hand on a female comrade."
You're an intellectual too, you should be able to understand me, right?
Upon hearing this, Zhou Shuhua's heart trembled: This was the kind of man who could talk to her!
It's rare to find men in Jianshan Brigade who don't beat their wives. It's truly unheard of to see someone like Shen Qingming, who gets beaten by female comrades but doesn't fight back.
He has his principles, just as she has her pursuits.
At times, Zhou Shuhua could even see a scholarly air about her in Shen Qingming's bruised and battered face.
She took out the remaining ten or so yuan and stuffed it into Shen Qingming's hand:
“Shen Zhiqing, I heard that your luggage was stolen on your way from Haicheng. Take this money and use it to buy some things to get by.”
How could Shen Qingming, a man of integrity and integrity, accept money from a woman so easily?
He threw Zhou Shuhua's money onto the land the other party was responsible for, and muttered angrily in a low voice:
"Comrade Shuhua, I am very grateful to you for helping me repay Comrade Ruan Miaomiao's debt."
However, poverty and hardship cannot sway me, and a true man will not accept charity. I am a grown man with hands and feet; how could I possibly take money from a woman like you?
Shen Qingming wasn't worried at all that his words would push Zhou Shuhua away. After all, in Zhou Shuhua's eyes, he saw the same adoration and admiration that Ruan Miaomiao had shown him in the past.
