Chapter 154: Making Wedding Clothes for Others

Wu Li and Li Mei slept separately. The fever subsided, but they caught a cold again, which was quite serious, and their diarrhea had not healed.

Seeing that their physical condition was getting worse, the village chief reported the situation to the commune.

The people from the commune came and saw the situation of the two, and asked them to take care of their bodies and give the quota to other people to return to the city first.

The two said that they could go back, but they even had difficulty getting up.

Since Sun Xiaoqin had been taking care of the two, the village chief praised her in front of the people from the commune.

After that, the time to return to the city did not change, but the people who returned to the city were replaced by Sun Xiaoqin and Yang Zhixiong.

After Li Mei learned about it, she said that Sun Xiaoqin was taking advantage of the fire.

Wu Li was also unwilling to pay attention to Sun Xiaoqin.

Sun Xiaoqin said, "You are so heartless. I bought medicine for you and took care of you for several days, but you didn't say a word of thanks. You even blamed me. Forget it. I'm leaving the day after tomorrow. I won't bother with you anymore."

Then, Sun Xiaoqin stopped caring about the two.

In the middle of the night, I wanted to drink some water and called Sun Xiaoqin, but she didn't get up.

Li Mei said to Wu Li, "She was just pretending before, just to show off to others. Now that her purpose has been achieved, she doesn't even pretend anymore."

The two's voices woke up the new educated youth.

"That's because you guys went too far. Sun Xiaoqin took care of you for several days, but you didn't know how to be grateful. You even blamed her. How could she do such a thankless job?"

The two were so angry that they shut up. Li Mei got up and poured herself some water.

Wu Li asked Li Mei to pour her a bowl, but Li Mei drank the water and went to bed, ignoring her.

...

The next day, Sun Xiaoqin packed her things and waited to leave tomorrow.

Wu Li saw Yang Zhixiong and Sun Xiaoqin talking about their plans after returning to the city.

Wu Li asked, "When did you two become so close?"

Yang Zhixiong said, "When did our relationship become bad?"

Because of the unpleasantness of yesterday, Sun Xiaoqin did not talk to Wu Li.

After Wu Li left, Sun Xiaoqin said to Yang Zhixiong, "Let's go to the guesthouse near the commune today. I'm afraid of a long night and many dreams."

Yang Zhixiong thought for a while, nodded, went to tell the village chief, and the two of them took their luggage and left the Youth Institute.

...

Li Mei felt much better today, and said to the new educated youth: "Do you think I am suffering? Someone took care of me, but I couldn't even get up from the kang every day. Now that no one takes care of me, I feel more energetic."

Wu Li came over and said: "I feel much better too, my stuffy nose is not that serious anymore."

The two looked at each other, and suddenly, a trace of doubt seemed to flash through their minds.

Wu Li asked: "Do you think Sun Xiaoqin was the one who caused us to have diarrhea in the beginning?"

Li Mei's eyes dodged for a moment and said: "It shouldn't be, she also had diarrhea."

Wu Li waved her hands: "No, although all of us educated youth had diarrhea, did you see Sun Xiaoqin having diarrhea with your own eyes? Anyway, I didn't see it."

Wu Li asked Yan Xiaohua and Cao Xiaoqing, and both said that they didn't see Sun Xiaoqin having diarrhea with their own eyes.

Li Mei said, "I used to sleep without kicking the quilt. I suspect she opened my quilt in the middle of the night and caused me to catch a cold."

Wu Li was so angry that she wanted to find the village chief, but was stopped by Li Mei.

"Everyone has left the Youth Institute. It is meaningless to find the village chief. Moreover, we have no evidence. The village chief will think that we deliberately slandered her because our quota to return to the city was taken away."

"What should we do? She took our quota to return to the city and made us sick for so many days. Just let it go like this?"

"What else, do you have any other way?"

Wu Li cried out, covering her face.

Li Mei was also angry. She set up the trap herself and suffered, but she made things easier for others.

...

Guesthouse.

Yang Zhixiong and Sun Xiaoqin were eating the steamed buns and salted vegetables they had bought.

Yang Zhixiong asked, "Do you think they know that you opened the window and lifted their quilts?"

Sun Xiaoqin chuckled, "So what if they know? I have already left Yaoshui Village and I can go home tomorrow."

"Aren't you afraid that they will tell the village chief about this?"

"What is there to be afraid of? Do you think Li Mei is innocent? I have evidence that she poisoned us."

Yang Zhixiong said angrily, "I say, woman, you took 50 yuan from me, and you watched me eat the poisoned food without reminding me." Sun Xiaoqin

smiled slightly, "Li Mei poisoned herself to get a place to return to the city. You can return to the city anyway. Why do you still care about these things? Everyone else has diarrhea, but you are fine. You are the first to suspect."

"Did you eat it too?"

"Of course I didn't eat. If I had eaten, I wouldn't have the energy to take care of them. I could just pretend to go to the toilet more often."

Yang Zhixiong put down the steamed bun in his hand and said, "Women are the most vicious. You wouldn't poison me, would you?"

Sun Xiaoqin said calmly, "You bought the steamed bun. I didn't even guard against you, but you suspected me. I was counting on you to take care of my meals along the way. How dare I offend you?"

Yang Zhixiong ate the steamed bun with peace of mind: "Even if you dare."

...

Daybreak.

The educated youth from various villages who were going back to the city gathered at the train station. Everyone got on the train and saw that Sun Xiaoqin was alone.

So he asked her, "Are you the only one from your village going back to the city?"

"Two people,"

"What about the other person?"

"I saw his door was closed this morning, so I thought he came early, but he hasn't arrived yet."

"Then do you want to wait for him?"

"Even if I am willing to wait for him, the train is not willing to wait."

The train started slowly. Looking at the scenery outside the window receding, Sun Xiaoqin murmured, "You are lucky..."

...

In the guesthouse, Yang Zhixiong woke up and looked out the window to see that it was bright outside. He suddenly sat up from the bed.

Oh no, I'm going to be late! He

picked up his suitcase and ran out.

When he arrived at the train station, he could no longer see the train.

He could only come back tomorrow.

On the way back, Yang Zhixiong went to buy steamed buns. When he took out his pocket, panic immediately appeared on his face.

His pockets were empty, with nothing in them.

Yang Zhixiong couldn't believe it, but when he turned his pockets over, he didn't see a penny.

Thinking that he remembered it wrong, Yang Zhixiong searched in his suitcase again, but still didn't find a penny.

"Damn woman, if I see you again, I will never let you go!"

Yang Zhixiong, who was penniless, could not go back to the guesthouse. He could only wait at the train station until the next day, enduring hunger and hiding from tickets all the way back.
