Not to mention Xu Meijun, even Li Jing, who only wanted to freeload, couldn't help but be attracted when she saw Ye Weiwei taking these things out of her package.
They're all young girls, what girl doesn't love to look pretty!
However, even the cheapest hair tie among Ye Weiwei's items looked different from what they usually used; it was clearly not the kind of cheap stuff that cost only a few cents.
Ye Wanwan's eyes were burning with jealousy, and she wished she could burn everything Ye Weiwei had to ashes.
What she can't have, she won't let Ye Weiwei have either!
After showing off her wealth and a bit of hatred, Ye Weiwei finally started taking out food.
Milk powder, malted milk powder, White Rabbit milk candy, chocolate, biscuits, canned fruit, luncheon meat, dried chicken, cured meat...
When Ye Weiwei finally took everything out of the package and laid it all out on the table, she heard the swallowing sounds of the other people in the dormitory.
Ye Weiwei: ……
That seems a bit too high-profile.
However, she deliberately let everyone see these things today.
The purpose was to let everyone know that she was rich and had no shortage of good things, and that her family doted on her and were willing to spend money on her. So that in the future, when she took out something good from her space, no one would doubt the origin of these things.
"Ye Weiwei... your family is so good to you!" Li Jing rushed to the table, grabbed a can of luncheon meat, and said with drooling, "What kind of meat is this? I've never seen it before! It must be delicious!"
She didn't want to let go of it once she held it, and couldn't wait to open it and taste it.
Ye Weiwei took the can of luncheon meat back from her hand with a sullen face.
These cans of food are a special supply for the military; there are only two in total. My uncle must have saved them for himself because he didn't want to eat them.
Although this food didn't taste as good as braised pork to her, it was still a rare treat in those days, and not everyone could afford to eat it; some people had never even seen it before.
Ye Weiwei took out a few White Rabbit milk candies from the pile of food and gave each of Xu Meijun, Chen Jiali, and Li Jing a few pieces. She also opened a pack of biscuits and distributed them. Ye Weiwei then took out a piece of cured meat to add to the dishes for the educated youth at the settlement. She put everything else into her own box.
Li Jing was extremely disappointed to see that Ye Weiwei had only taken out so little out of such a huge pile of good things. She peeled a piece of milk candy and put it in her mouth. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that Ye Weiwei was stingy. Her eyes were fixed on Ye Weiwei's box, and she wished she could drill a hole in it.
Ye Wanwan was absolutely furious!
Ye Weiwei distributed milk candy and cookies to everyone else in the dormitory, but deliberately left her out, as if she didn't even see her!
Resentment, jealousy, humiliation—all these emotions overwhelmed Ye Wanwan, and she glared fiercely at Ye Weiwei: "Ye Weiwei, you just wait!"
After saying that, he slammed the door shut and left!
Ye Weiwei looked at the others with an innocent expression, "What's wrong with her now?"
Xu Meijun chuckled, "She's probably lost her mind."
Chen Jiali coughed lightly: "It's probably because you gave us all the candy and cookies but not hers, so she felt embarrassed."
Ye Weiwei was speechless. "How could she have such unrealistic ideas? Last night, she was talking badly about me in front of my uncle, and I caught her red-handed. I was already showing good manners by not knocking her teeth out. How dare she still covet my things? She has such a big face!"
Xu Meijun was surprised, "She's done something like that before?"
Ye Weiwei gave a soft snort.
Xu Meijun clicked her tongue, "She's really shameless."
Ye Weiwei: "Who says otherwise!"
Hearing these words in the courtyard, Ye Wanwan was so angry that her face twisted in anger.
At noon, Ye Weiwei contributed some cured pork. The person in charge of cooking today stir-fried some vegetables with the cured pork, and steamed the rest.
As soon as the steamed cured pork was served, Li Jing couldn't wait to start eating it. She ate three pieces in no time. Just as she was about to pick up her chopsticks again, her hand was stopped by someone.
Liu Xiangqian: "This cured meat is divided according to the number of people, three pieces per person. You have already finished your portion."
Li Jing looked at Liu Xiangqian with dissatisfaction, somewhat regretting that she had eaten too fast.
She glanced at Ye Wanwan sitting opposite her, her eyes darting around, "Ye Wanwan, you certainly wouldn't eat Ye Weiwei's food, right? Then I'll eat your portion of cured meat for you!"
After saying that, she picked up three pieces of cured meat with her chopsticks and stuffed them into her mouth, not giving Ye Wanwan a chance to refuse.
Ye Wanwan was so angry she almost broke her chopsticks, and a hint of resentment flashed in her eyes as she looked at Li Jing.
For several days in a row, Li Jing always dawdled and walked at the very back when she went to work.
That day, Ye Wanwan pretended to forget something when she returned halfway home and saw Li Jing standing in front of Ye Weiwei's suitcase, holding a can of luncheon meat and looking at it from left to right, clearly admiring it.
Ye Wanwan suddenly appeared, startling her so much that she almost dropped the can of food in her hand.
"Stop looking. This is Ye Weiwei's favorite food. It's a special supply for the military, and even officers of ordinary rank can't get it. You're just wasting your time looking. Ye Weiwei will never give it to you!"
Li Jing, looking displeased, put the can of food back into Ye Weiwei's suitcase. "What's wrong with taking a look? It's not like I'm going to lose a piece! I was just curious, not trying to steal it!"
Ye Wanwan did not expose Li Jing's lie.
She walked over and casually touched the armrest of the recliner, then exclaimed and quickly withdrew her finger.
A hidden box popped out from the armrest of the recliner, inside which was something wrapped in red cloth.
Before Li Jing could even see what it was, Ye Wanwan shoved the dark box inside, her expression panicked: "I... I don't know how, I just put my hand here and it opened by itself. You have to testify for me, I didn't touch anything and then I closed it! I'm going to work now!"
After saying that, Ye Wanwan ran away quickly.
Li Jing watched Ye Wanwan's retreating figure and cursed her as a coward.
Then, out of curiosity, she touched the spot where Ye Wanwan had just touched it, tapping and probing it for a while. Sure enough, the dark box popped out again.
Li Jing's eyes lit up. She grabbed the contents of the box, opened the red cloth, and found a small booklet inside. Most of the characters on it were ones she couldn't understand, but she could make out a few words clearly.
For example, certain dates, and the signature that appears frequently with the dates: Commander of the *** Regiment of the South China Military Region: Zhang Changnian
Li Jing's heart pounded. She gripped the booklet tightly, her intuition telling her that its contents were anything but simple.
Isn't Ye Weiwei's uncle, who's an officer in the military, surnamed Zhang?
Li Jing looked at Ye Weiwei's suitcase, thinking about the military-supplied milk powder, candy, biscuits, and luncheon meat inside, her eyes filled with greed!
