Zhao Mingzhe looked at Ye Wanwan, a hint of impatience and mockery flashing in his eyes, "Did Tung Chee-hwa give you the noodles?"
Ye Wanwan's tears seemed to have been paused, suddenly stopping flowing.
Zhao Mingzhe sneered: "Ye Wanwan, you still say there's nothing between you and him! How come I never realized you were so shallow? You were bought off with just a few small favors!"
Ye Wanwan had a lot of unspeakable suffering in her heart.
At that moment, she also felt resentment towards Zhao Mingzhe!
So what if she accepted gifts from Tung Chee-hwa? These were gifts that Tung Chee-hwa willingly gave her; she didn't ask him for them.
Besides, ever since Ye Weiwei broke up with her, she had no money or ration coupons and was in debt to Dong Jianhua. How was she, a woman, supposed to survive on the food at the educated youth settlement?
If it weren't for Tung Chee-hwa's excessive attention to her during this period, constantly bringing her food and drinks and helping her with farm work, she doesn't even know what she would be like now!
She was completely forced into this situation by life's circumstances!
As for Zhao Mingzhe, he didn't care about her at all!
Now they complain that she's getting too close to Tung Chee-hwa!
Ye Wanwan knew she couldn't argue at this moment; the more she argued, the more guilty she would appear, and the more suspicious Zhao Mingzhe would become. So she wiped away her tears and gave a self-deprecating smile: "Brother Mingzhe, I never thought that our friendship of so many years couldn't withstand a few slanders from someone I've only known for three months! Fine, think what you want, I'm innocent! These noodles were indeed meant for me by Dong Jianhua, but I refused them. He said his suitcase wasn't locked, and it wouldn't look good if people saw it in your dorm, so he asked me to keep it for him."
I was thinking that since he treated us like that last night, eating his noodles would be some kind of compensation. Since you're not eating, then don't accuse me of eating alone.
After saying that, Ye Wanwan was about to leave.
Zhao Mingzhe slammed the cornbread in his hand against the wall. "Eat! Why won't you eat! Put all the noodles in! Don't leave a single one for that bastard!"
Ye Wanwan pursed her lips and remained silent.
Zhao Mingzhe stepped forward and took her hand. "Wanwan, I misunderstood you. But I'm only angry because I care about you so much. Do you know how shocked and sad I was when Dong Jianhua mentioned the red mole on your waist?"
Although Zhao Mingzhe took the blame for the red mole in order to help Ye Wanwan get away with her crime, saying that he couldn't stand Dong Jianhua's flattery of Ye Wanwan and deliberately said it to anger Dong Jianhua, Zhao Mingzhe still felt as uncomfortable as if he had swallowed a fly when he thought about what Dong Jianhua had said.
“Brother Mingzhe…” Ye Wanwan threw herself into Zhao Mingzhe’s arms and started crying, feeling wronged. “I don’t know how Dong Jianhua found out, or which big mouth in the dorm couldn’t stand seeing me doing well and spread this kind of thing around…”
A dark glint flashed in Zhao Mingzhe's eyes, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "Ye Weiwei!"
It must be Ye Weiwei!
Only that woman, Ye Weiwei, would be happy to see them suffer!
Seeing that Zhao Mingzhe's anger had shifted, Ye Wanwan cried even more sincerely, saying between sobs, "That Dong Jianhua is not even as good as one of your fingers. How stupid could I be to still fall for a man like him after I had you... Waaah... Anyone with eyes can see that you are so much better than him!"
If I liked him, why would I have compromised and stayed by your side all these years...?
Zhao Mingzhe felt much better after being flattered by Ye Wanwan's seemingly emotional outburst, and his suspicions about Ye Wanwan dissipated.
Tung Chee-hwa came from an ordinary working-class family and only graduated from junior high school. In terms of appearance, temperament, and family background, he was far superior to Tung Chee-hwa!
He really can't compare to me!
The two of them hugged and cuddled for a while, and finally, they couldn't stand the hunger anymore, so they went to make noodles.
It wasn't until the two of them finished the whole pound of noodles and then soaked the remaining cornbread in the soup that their stomachs finally felt fuller.
After finishing their meal, the two discussed what to do next.
Tung Chee-hwa is completely finished; he'll never be able to make a comeback.
Now only Ye Weiwei remains.
"Mingzhe, what should we do? Are we just going to let Ye Weiwei ride all over us like this?"
Zhao Mingzhe pondered for a moment and said, "She's completely out of control now, and she's also involved with the villagers, making her even more difficult to deal with."
He also had a terrible headache.
To everyone's surprise, Ye Weiwei's personality changed drastically, as if she had become a completely different person, and she was no longer obedient.
If it weren't for the mole behind her ear still being there, he would have suspected that Ye Weiwei had been switched at birth.
"It's best not to provoke her during this time; it won't do us any good. You should avoid her as much as possible. Anyway, she's going to marry Huo Xiao soon, and she'll never be able to return to the city for the rest of her life."
Although Ye Wanwan was unwilling, she had no choice but to accept it for the time being.
That useless bastard Tung Chee-hwa!
They paid someone to help them, but they didn't even bother to find someone more capable, which allowed Ye Weiwei to escape unscathed!
Little did Ye Wanwan know that it wasn't that Dong Jianhua's chosen people weren't capable enough, but rather that Ye Weiwei was simply too awesome!
Ye Weiwei saw that it was almost time, and if she stayed any later she would run into everyone finishing work, so she came down from the mountain.
When I came down the mountain, I carried a basket on my back, which was half full of various mushrooms and five or six wild eggs.
As soon as we arrived at the educated youth settlement, a man rushed over shouting, "Educated Youth Ye! Educated Youth Ye! We've finally found you!"
Ye Weiwei stopped and recognized Wu Dayou, who had come up the mountain with her that day. She asked, "What is it?"
Wu Dayou was covered in sweat and his eyes were red. "Ye Zhiqing, could I borrow your bicycle? My wife has started labor early, and I need to go to Sunjia Village to pick up the midwife."
"Isn't your wife's due date still almost a month away? How come she's so many days early?" Ye Weiwei had a good impression of Wu Dayou. This dark-faced man was very happy when he got a pheasant on the mountain that day. He said he would raise it and stew it for his wife to nourish her body after she gave birth.
Moreover, when Chen Danu was causing trouble when they were dividing the pork that day, he was the first to stand up and speak up for them.
Wu Dayou was so anxious that tears were about to fall down his face. "I accidentally tripped and fell."
Ye Weiwei could tell there was something going on, so she didn't ask any more questions. She quickly pushed her bicycle out to him, and then went to Wu Dayou's house without even putting down her basket.
At this time, Wu Dayou's family was in a state of utter chaos.
Wu Dayou's mother, Aunt Sun, stood in the yard and started cursing loudly, her words implying that Wu Dayou's wife was using her unborn child to pretend to be someone else and was deliberately trying to sow discord between her and her youngest son.
"You shameless little hussy, so what if you get pregnant and have a child? Every mother knows that, but you think you're some kind of precious noblewoman! Bah! You should take a piss and look at yourself in the mirror to see what you really are!"
