Chapter 27 Entanglement
Ye Qian didn't want to have anything to do with her, so she quickly refused: "Why should I eat with you? We are not familiar with each other."
Ye Qian was annoyed. In this era, reputation was very important. If this person came to see her again and again and was seen by others, it would inevitably lead to gossip.
Although I won't be working as a grain factory manager, I won't leave until I find a way to go to Han City.
It's not good for my reputation if he keeps pestering me like this.
Ye Qian refused again: "Didn't I reject you last time? What are you doing? Why are you blocking me in the dormitory?"
It was just after dinner, and many people were leaving the cafeteria and walking towards the dormitory when they saw Gong Peng and Ye Qian.
Everyone was very familiar with Ye Qian, and they couldn't help but think of the confession in the cafeteria before. Everyone saw her rejection at that time, and they couldn't help but speak out.
"You're a grown man, why are you bullying a little girl?"
Another worker said, "Yeah, everyone saw her reject you. Don't you even consider your age? Is that interesting?"
In fact, Gong Peng is not very old, only 22 years old, but for this era, those who are not married at this age are considered old!
Gong Peng also has his dignity to save, so it would be difficult for him to continue to argue after being pointed at in public.
After turning around and leaving, he spat a mouthful of thick phlegm at Ye Qian's back, "Bah, you're so shameless." If she follows him in the future, she will suffer the consequences.
After returning to the dormitory, Ye Qian felt more and more that something was wrong.
I always feel that something is wrong with Gong Peng pestering me. I have been in the 1960s for so long that I naturally know that both boys and girls are very thin-skinned. It is no exaggeration to say that both of them will blush when they talk to each other. After I rejected Gong Peng, he should not pester me like this.
Ye Qian was just thinking about Gong Peng when the dormitory door was pushed open and she saw Li Yue, whom she hadn't seen for a few days.
Seeing Li Yue's hesitation in speaking to her, as if she had something to say, Ye Qian asked, "Is there something you want to tell me?"
Li Yue thought for a while and said, "You should be careful recently. Gong Peng is not a good person."
"Do you know Gong Peng?" Ye Qian asked doubtfully.
"I don't know her, but I saw the expelled Pan Huiyu and Gong Peng together."
Ye Qian was shocked.
"So, was it because you saw them together that you told me to be careful with Gong Peng last time?"
"That's not true. Gong Peng looks like a decent person, but he is a first-rate hooligan. He specializes in defrauding little girls of their money and sex. He has to support his large family. Otherwise, his family of six would have starved to death relying on him as a single worker." Li Yue paused.
"My relative's sister was one of them. After the accident, she resigned and moved back to her hometown with her family."
Ye Qian pressed on, "This is too inhumane. Is there no one who will report him?"
"No."
Yes, girls of this era were innocent and simple, and women valued their reputation very much. Otherwise, losing their job if reported was a small matter, but if they were taken out for criticism, they might not come back alive, and their whole family would be ashamed. After all, rumors, which accumulate over the years, can make people mentally broken and kill people without being seen.
"Pan Huiyu doesn't just hate me. Now that she and Gong Peng are together, she will definitely not let me go."
Li Yue said: "In short, be careful and don't go out alone."
Ye Qian also felt Li Yue's concern, "Thank you, I understand."
After saying this, Li Yue left.
This person must have come to tell me this specifically, so I must remember this favor.
After washing up, Ye Qian went straight to bed.
Ye Qian is a carefree person. There is no point in being anxious before things happen. She should just take one step at a time. If something still happens even though she has the space plug-in, then she would be useless.
Have a good night's sleep.
…
The next day.
After work, Ye Qian came to the office and saw Jiang Xia sitting in her seat in a daze.
"Sister Jiang, good morning. Why are you daydreaming so early in the morning?" Jiang Xia came back to her senses. "Yeah. Something happened at home. My son broke his leg because he was naughty."
"Is your son in the hospital? Is there anyone at home to take care of him?" Ye Qian asked.
"My mother-in-law is in the hospital taking care of me, so I don't need to take leave. I just want to buy some meat for my son. I can't buy it outside, not even on the black market, and I don't have any meat coupons. Isn't this frustrating!"
This is not difficult. I still have a lot of meat in my space.
Since Ye Qian joined the union, Jiang Xia has been basically the one taking care of her, so it’s okay to help her.
"Sister Jiang, how much meat do you want?"
When Jiang Xia heard Ye Qian's words, she didn't expect Ye Qian to get the meat, but she was also a little looking forward to it.
"Can you get it? But I don't have any meat tickets."
"You can use other ticket bases, industrial coupons, cloth coupons, or leather shoe coupons. If you don't need much meat, I can bring it to you around noon. What part do you want?"
Jiang Xia said happily, "You can choose the right part. It's best to have bones, so that the shape complements the shape, and then have more fat. Any amount of meat is fine."
"Okay, meet me at the grain factory gate at 12:30. I'll give it to you right there. You can just take it back. It'll go bad if you leave it out for an afternoon."
Jiang Xia agreed happily.
After that, everyone in the office came.
It was another quiet morning. When it was lunchtime, Ye Qian did not go to the cafeteria, but went straight out of the grain factory.
If Ye Qian didn't go out, there was no way to get the meat out.
Ye Qian went to the state-owned restaurant first.
The state-owned restaurant still hasn't changed its chef. You can tell from the menu that all the dishes are braised.
Ye Qian saw that there were braised pork trotters today, so she quickly packed up four.
Ordered a bowl of egg fried noodles for lunch.
Why not eat pig's trotters at noon? Because I have already made up my mind. This is tonight's dinner. I will drink beer while eating pig's trotters.
Squeak, this taste.
After lunch, Ye Qian saw that it was almost time, so she found a deserted place and took out the meat from the space.
Ye Qian prepared two ribs and four pounds of fat, put them in a cloth bag, and then took a bus back to the grain factory.
When I got out of the car, I saw Jiang Xia already waiting at the door.
Jiang Xia stood at the door, feeling a little nervous, perhaps because she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to buy it.
Seeing me coming over, I asked tentatively, "Did you buy it?"
Ye Qian walked over and asked, "Now that we have bought it, let's go over there. There is no one there." Ye Qian pointed to the big tree on the side of the grain factory.
Although it doesn't cover too much, it's good to cover a little.
The two walked behind the tree, and Ye Qian handed the bag to Jiang Xia: "Two ribs, four pounds of fat."
Jiang Xia was pleasantly surprised: "Thank you so much, how much does it cost? I don't know how much I should pay."
Ye Qian wouldn't ask for more, as they were all in the same office. "Just give me the black market price. Tickets are the same too. Just give me any tickets you have. But we'll talk about it when you get here later. Put the things back first."
