Chapter 22 Unfamiliar



Then Wu Wenwen watched helplessly as Ye Zhiyu put in four ounces less grain.

"Know me?"

Ye Zhiyu looked at her with a blank expression, blinked her eyes, and smiled.

Wu Wenwen's heart melted at the sight of the child's quirky and clever behavior. She didn't say anything, letting the child do whatever he wanted, as nothing serious would happen.

Around 6 o'clock, most of them came out and started squatting in the yard to wash up. Ye Zhiyu's eyes lit up, and she went back into the house to get a jar of beef sauce.

He addressed the people in the courtyard, saying, "Everyone, hurry up! This is my first time cooking, and I'm afraid I won't do a good job. I've brought everyone a jar of beef sauce. Don't blame me if you're too slow and run out."

Previously, in order to promote the original owner's arrogance, Li Xi told the original owner that she would cook for her, but then told others that the original owner forced her to do so. So this was really the first time this body had ever cooked.

She's already forgotten about this whole thing, after causing Li Xi so much trouble these past two days. Maybe she's even waiting to see her make a fool of herself.

Upon hearing that they could eat meat, everyone was in a frenzy, some even wetting their towels and wiping their faces before coming over.

Liu Yuan was that person, but he didn't come for the beef sauce; he came to be the first to get the steamed buns that Ye Zhiyu made herself.

As he carried his allotted cornbread, Ye Zhiyu gave him a small spoonful of beef sauce.

Liu Yuan left, satisfied, holding the bowl.

One after another.

When it came to Xu Fen and Fu Tingshen, they simply refused to give it to them. So what? It's mine; I can give it to whomever I want.

Xu Fen had just committed a crime and didn't dare to utter a sound. She lowered her head, her eyes filled with malice.

Fu Tingshen felt that Ye Zhiyu was still angry, so he gave her a indulgent look.

Ye Zhiyu felt a chill. No, is he sick?

To maintain her best image, Li Xi braids her hair in elaborate patterns every morning and always leaves the house relatively late.

Today I followed the tutorial the system gave me to braid a scorpion braid. I looked in the mirror and thought I looked so beautiful, so I hummed a little tune as I went out.

Then I noticed that everyone had eaten breakfast, and there was a meaty aroma in the air.

She couldn't help but swallow hard, then wiggled her small body and went over.

She asked with a smile, "What are you eating? It smells so good."

Lin Yueze: "Ye Zhiqing took a jar of beef sauce and shared it with everyone. Li Zhiqing, you should eat too, we're leaving soon."

Li Xi happily agreed, but when she entered the kitchen, she was dumbfounded – everything was gone.

Ye Zhiyu's deliberately affected voice came from behind: "Oh, you haven't eaten yet? I was about to clean up the kitchen."

Li Xi turned around and glared at her angrily: "Did you do this on purpose?"

Ye Zhiyu started putting on an act; anyone can act.

Looking at Li Xi with a hurt expression, she said, "Li Zhiqing, how could you say that? It was my first time and I wasn't very skilled. I'll give you mine if I want. I really didn't mean to."

She did it on purpose. She knew Li Xi was slow and was usually one of the last few to arrive, so she deliberately made everyone hurry up and collect their things. But does she have any evidence?

Looking at that face as beautiful as a peach blossom, Li Xi wished she could just go up and scratch her face.

The commotion alerted the people outside the kitchen, who had almost finished eating and came to check.

Liu Shengnan squeezed through the crowd: "What's wrong? What's wrong?"

Seeing Li Xi's murderous expression and then looking at Ye Zhiyu, who looked like a submissive wife, he instantly became furious and realized he understood.

"Li Xi, are you bullying Ye Zhiyu again? Why can't you just stop all day?"

Liu Yuan was also annoyed with her: "All you do is bully Ye Zhiqing all day long, how can you be so vicious?"

Li Xi stared at the two of them with wide eyes. These were the words that others had said to Ye Zhiyu before. Why were they talking about her now?

She raised her trembling hand and pointed at Ye Zhiyu, "It was clearly her fault for not cooking for me, just to get revenge for what happened yesterday. How am I supposed to work if I have to go to work hungry?"

All eyes fell on Ye Zhiyu, who shrank her neck and hid half of her body behind Liu Shengnan.

He quietly repeated what he had just said, and then added a sentence at the end.

"I really didn't mean to, otherwise I'll give you mine."

"Besides, I didn't know you were the last one to come out. If it were someone else who came out last, they wouldn't have anything to eat either. I really didn't mean to target you."

Li Xi didn't know how to refute it. Indeed, it was impossible to determine who would be the last one.

On one side is the weak and helpless father who just treated them to beef sauce, and on the other side is the domineering Li Xi. It's obvious which one to choose.

He who eats another's food is bound to him; he who takes another's money is bound to him.

"Li Zhiqing, Ye Zhiqing didn't do it on purpose. It's already quite an achievement that she could cook like this on her first try. Don't be so petty."

Li Xi: You think I'm being petty? So you're the one who's starving at work, right?

“That’s right. You also cooked less food for Ye Zhiqing yesterday. Even if she did it on purpose, you two are even.”

"She used to say that Ye Zhiyu was her good friend, but now she's making a scene over such a small thing. Ye Zhiyu is just unlucky to have met her?"

Li Xi felt like she was about to explode with anger, and to make matters worse, Fu Tingshen interfered.

He believed that Ye Zhiyu was angry that he favored Li Xi, so he would stand by her side this time.

Fu Tingshen looked at Li Xi disapprovingly: "Xiao Xi, stop fooling around."

Li Xi: Making a scene? Me, making a scene? What's wrong with this world?

Seeing that it was time to start work, Lin Yueze called out, and everyone quickly washed their lunchboxes and hurriedly left.

Wu Wenwen secretly gave Ye Zhiyu a thumbs up.

Liu Shengnan glared at Li Xi and then left.

Soon only the two of them were left in the courtyard, and Li Xi glared at her with resentment.

Ye Zhiyu stopped pretending and put on a smile: "What, you're not pretending anymore? You're not going to say I'm your good friend anymore?"

"I'm going to show everyone your true colors."

"Haven't you told us enough? If you don't try, will everyone still believe you?" Ye Zhiyu said with a "whatever" attitude.

"Besides, your food is still there, I haven't touched it. Do you have anything to say? Hmm?"

Li Xi clenched her fist and gritted her teeth, "You're ruthless."
