Chapter 65: Taking Advantage of Others
Su Liang couldn't figure it out. Was he at odds with this place? He would fall down every now and then since he came to the Youth League Home.
This is too weird.
"Brother Liang, what should we do?" Qin Fang hugged Su Liang's arm pitifully, "We won't starve to death here, right?"
"No, if I really can't, I'll learn to cook." Su Liang gritted his teeth.
Well, the young master of the Su family wants to learn how to cook. If the news gets back to the Su family, those people in the Su family will be furious.
Xu Lin curled her lips when she heard this. He is really a love-minded person. She hopes he can really learn to cook as he said.
It's better not to be a joke.
Having said that, Su Liang didn't give up. He rubbed his butt and went to find Fu Yaqin again.
They lived in a townhouse, and Fu Yaqin heard what happened at Qian Li's door. Before Su Liang and the others could speak, she said directly:
"Su Zhiqing, Qin Zhiqing, I'm sorry, I don't like to eat without company, you can ask someone else."
"Don't be so quick to refuse. Listen to my conditions first." Su Liang raised his hand to stop Fu Yaqin from closing the door.
"Su Zhiqing, how many of those who can live in single rooms are short of money?" Fu Yaqin asked back.
This question stumped Su Liang. Yes, few people who can live in a single room are short of money.
Since you are not short of money, why should you sacrifice yourself for a little food?
Su Liang blushed after he figured it out. He seemed to take it for granted, but Su Liang didn't want to give up.
"What if I use my city return quota to exchange it?"
Haha, Fu Yaqin smiled, "The quota to return to the city is very precious, but as long as you are still in the countryside, will you give me the quota?
If you stay in the country for a year or two, do you think my family will not be able to get me a place?"
This question was so sharp and hit the nail on the head that Su Liang was at a loss for words to refute it.
Just as Qian Li said, many educated youth with good backgrounds came to Wangzhuang Brigade, and these educated youth could go back after one or two years in the countryside.
People who can live in a single room are basically those who have neither money nor connections. If that’s the case, why would they put themselves in such a difficult position?
Su Liang couldn't find a reason to let Fu Yaqin be their nanny, so he could only leave with a red face.
Before leaving, Qin Fang glared at Fu Yaqin unwillingly for several times, causing Fu Yaqin to roll her eyes.
What the hell, the daughter of a spy wants her to serve him, how could they not be so happy?
Su Liang and Qin Fang lost face in the Youth League Home and couldn't find anyone to have dinner with.
There was no choice but for them to cook for themselves.
However, they didn't buy a pot, so they could only wait until the educated youth in the kitchen finished cooking before they could start cooking, which made the two of them very dissatisfied.
Su Liang even found Zhao Qing and Zhao Nan who were cooking, and said that they were few in number and could cook faster, so they would cook first from now on.
After the two of them have finished cooking, let the people in the kitchen start cooking.
When the condition was raised, the Zhao Qing sisters' eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
Zhao Qing pulled his sister who was about to get angry, and turned around to tell the other educated youth about the matter, which made Liu Pandi and the others very angry.
Hey guys, they paid for the pot and stove, so why should they, as the owners, have to stand behind others?
They agreed to let the two of them use it, which was out of their generosity, but they really let the two of them take advantage of them.
Several educated youths mocked the two men without any hesitation and pointed out clearly that if they wanted to use the pot, they had to pay rent, otherwise they could not use their private property.
Xu Lin was sitting at the door and almost laughed herself to death. It was the first time she realized that Su Liang and Qin Fang were hopelessly stupid. How could they have the nerve to make such unreasonable demands?
They really think that this Youth League Home is their backyard and they can do whatever they want.
In the end, Su Liang and Qin Fang gained nothing, and instead became disliked by everyone.
The two were so angry that they didn't even cook dinner and went back to their room to sulk.
Xu Lin boiled the medicine, brought it into the house and put it directly into the space, and then made it into pills.
She hadn't rested for long when Erwa Nai appeared in the Youth League Home with a dozen eggs in her arms, smiling.
She came to give gifts and also to invite Xu Lin to visit her home, as she was a great benefactor to their family.
If it weren't for the cold weather and the hens were unwilling to lay eggs, she would have wanted to give more eggs to Xu Zhiqing.
"Hello, Xu Zhiqing." Erwa's grandmother greeted with a smile, "I'm here to invite you to my house for dinner."
"Hello, Auntie. Come in and do it." Xu Lin let the person into the room. "You are here, so why do you bring a gift?"
"This is a thank you gift, you can't refuse it." Erwa's mother put the basket on the table. "There are no good things in the countryside.
I only took a dozen eggs, so please don't complain."
"Eggs are a good thing. Even if you have money you may not be able to buy them." Xu Lin poured a cup of tea and handed it over. Erwa Nai quickly shook his head.
She is an old woman, she can't use such beautiful teacups, otherwise they will get dirty.
"Xu Zhiqing, you're welcome, you're welcome, I'm not thirsty." Erwa's mother sniffed, "Xu Zhiqing, are you sick?"
"No, I just boiled some medicine to nourish my body."
Xu Lin took the eggs and then took half a pound of brown sugar and a bag of snacks and put them in the basket.
When Erwa’s mother saw this, she was shocked and said, “I’m here to give a gift, not to take advantage of you.”
That half pound of brown sugar is very valuable and in great demand; you may not be able to buy it even if you have a ticket.
Soon, the sound of two people arguing could be heard in the house, one wanted to return the gift, the other refused.
Xu Lin had seen this kind of situation before. When she was in Kyoto, whenever there were guests at the Xu family, Old Lady Xu would tear the gifts apart like this and then keep the gifts given by the guests.
However, Xu Lin was sincere in accepting gifts and giving gifts, unlike Old Lady Xu who was just being falsely polite.
Soon, Erwanai was pushed and pulled out of the door by Xu Linjia. She raised her hand to lock the door and ran in front with the basket.
Erwa was panting from exhaustion. She didn't expect that she, an expert in tearing things apart, couldn't even defeat Xu Zhiqing.
I never expected that Xu Zhiqing, although he looks thin, is actually very strong.
But what should she do? Giving a thank-you gift is like taking advantage of someone else's request.
Qin Fang looked at the popular Xu Lin, her eyes turning red with hatred.
It was all because of this little bastard that she was sent to the countryside, became a laughing stock in Kyoto, and almost lost her wealth and glory.
No matter how hateful she was, Qin Fang could do nothing now. She knew Xu Lin was a good fighter, so she had to find a foolproof plan.
Erwa's family was really sincere. They killed a chicken, cooked half a rabbit, and made a plate of fried eggs.
Just these three dishes show their sincerity.
During the dinner, Erwa's family said more than once that if Xu Lin needed any dirty or heavy work in the future, she could just ask them to do it.
They also told Xu Lin not to work tomorrow and just to walk around the field and leave. They could finish Xu Lin's work in minutes.
Good guys, there is now one more family who wants to help Xu Lin, which makes Xu Lin very happy.
The next day at work, Xu Lin found Wang Facai and asked for a day off to go into the city.
Xu Lin rode a bicycle into the city, and as soon as her bicycle appeared, it attracted a lot of envy.
