Zhou Yi was pushed and almost fell to the ground. After she stood firm, she turned back angrily and saw that the people who pushed her to grab the seat were Wang Xueyi and her good friend Yun Yawen from Yunshang Village.
"Come down." Zhou Yi glared at Wang Xueyi and Yun Yawen.
"Why are you glaring at me? I told you you're fat and you're panting? Who gave you the face to do that?" Yun Yawen got angry when she saw Zhou Yi dared to glare at her and retorted.
"She said yesterday that she could pay back the food she owed everyone, but now she wants to go to the county. I'm afraid she wants to run away." Wang Xueyi whispered in Yun Yawen's ear.
"You can't pay back the grain, you fat guy, are you planning to go to the county to hide from your creditors? I tell you, you can't escape the debt even if you try." Yun Yawen looked so heroic and indignant that if you didn't know better, you would think Zhou Yi was eating her family's grain.
The other villagers sitting in the car looked at Zhou Yi with strange eyes.
"You look like you've eaten too much salt. Am I eating your food?" Zhou Yi rolled his eyes.
"You~" Yun Yawen was so angry at the cold stare that she jumped off the ox cart and walked forward to slap Zhou Yi.
"What are you talking about? Don't talk to me. I'm a germaphobe." Zhou Yi blustered and pushed Yun Yawen's hand away with one hand.
The original owner's body and strength were not for nothing. Yun Yawen was pushed lightly by her and took two or three steps back.
"Besides, going to the county means running away from debt? How come I didn't know when you became a worm in my stomach?"
"We are all from the same village. We will meet each other sooner or later. Let's talk it out nicely. It was indeed Zhou Yi who came first this time, and you can't just say she is trying to escape debts just because she wants to go to the county." A soft and gentle voice came out, speaking a fair word for Zhou Yi.
It was rare to find someone on the ox cart who was willing to speak for Zhou Yi. She was Tang Xiaoqing, the wife of Yun Gaofei's good brother Yun Feng. She was also a well-known gentle and talented woman in the village. She was also willing to help others, and others would listen to what she said.
"Yes, girl Wen, just stop meddling in other people's business. It's wrong for you to push people and grab seats." An aunt next to Tang Xiaoqing also looked at Yun Yawen and spoke.
Most of the neighbors on the ox cart didn't say anything, mostly because the original owner was a bad person and everyone was afraid of being blackmailed by her.
"Bullshit! Who doesn't know you, Fatty Zhou? You're a mysophobe, lazy and sloppy, and good for nothing except eating. What can you do in the county? I advise you not to go to the county to bully others, otherwise you'll end up in jail." Yun Yawen glanced at Zhou Yi with disdain.
"Are you going to leave or not? If not, go home." The person driving the ox cart was Yun Shuangcai from the village. Everyone called him Uncle Yun. Uncle Yun, who had been waiting for a while, spoke in a stern voice and was about to drive the ox cart.
Uncle Yun's stern shout made Wang Xueyi and Yun Yawen turn around and look away, not paying attention to what was behind them.
Zhou Yi used the original owner's huge size and strength to pull her to the ground in one breath, and then sat down on the ox cart. Everyone was stunned by the smooth operation. This fat man was quite flexible.
As soon as Zhou Yi sat down, Second Uncle Yun started driving the ox cart. By the time Wang Xueyi and Yun Yawen stood up from the ground, the ox cart had already gone several meters away.
The two of them started cursing at each other immediately, and Zhou Yi even made a face at them, which made them so angry that they stomped their feet.
"Fatty, just wait for us." Their voices could be heard from afar.
Just wait, but it’s not certain who will be waiting for whom, as the previous accounts have not been settled yet.
Her motto in her previous life was 'Revenge, from morning till night'.
"Thank you, sister-in-law, thank you, aunt." Zhou Yi turned around and thanked Tang Xiaoqing and the aunt beside him for their help just now.
Although Tang Xiaoqing and the aunt were surprised that Zhou Yi would actually thank them, they didn't say anything and just smiled slightly.
It was impossible for other people to take the initiative to talk to Zhou Yi. After all, the original owner was a troublemaker and not everyone could handle him.
She was too lazy to talk, just happy to be alone, and she went to the county in silence.
Zhou Yi has been thinking about how to make money. It is not difficult for her to make money, but without capital, it is still difficult to make enough money to pay everyone back within a few days.
She calculated that the original owner had been taking food from other families for the past six months. If converted into money, she would have to pay back at least 10 yuan to each family. There were five families in total that she frequently visited, which meant she had to earn at least 50 yuan. In that era, 50 yuan was not a small amount of money. An ordinary worker only earned 40 yuan a month.
Finally they arrived at the county. Zhou Yi got off the ox cart at the entrance of the old street. The bumpy ride made her butt hurt, but it was much better than walking.
After getting off the bus and walking on the streets of the county, everything was so new to Zhou Yi.
It felt like walking into a movie city in the 1980s. In the county town in the 1980s, there were almost no high-rise buildings. The tallest building was only five or six stories high. The first floor was basically a corridor-like arcade. The shops were under this corridor. The people on the street were dressed very simply, mainly in loose blue work clothes.
After walking around the streets, Zhou Yi thought of a few ways to make money, but it was impossible to make dozens or hundreds of dollars in a few days.
In addition to returning the money to everyone, she was also thinking about whether she could earn her first pot of start-up capital.
As Zhou Yi was strolling around, he came to the gate of the county party committee staff quarters and heard the words "calligraphy competition".
Although eavesdropping is not a good idea, the conversation in the yard was really attractive to Zhou Yi.
"Today's calligraphy competition is about brushes. Is there anyone in our school who can win a prize?"
"I hope so. I heard the first prize is 80 yuan, second prize is 50 yuan, third prize is 20 yuan, and the excellence prize is 10 yuan. This first prize is equivalent to two months' salary for an average worker."
"Who says it's not? My old Liu has been practicing hard at home for two months for today's competition."
