It was the melon that she had worked so hard to get Song Songbai to bring back, and it was also she who had worked so hard to put it in the well water to cool it down at noon.
There was no way. There were no refrigerators at that time, so she had to use well water to cool the water. She already regretted it very much. Why didn't she store some ice during the winter?
She watched a play all day and wanted to come back to eat the real melon, but who made her dream burst?
My first reaction was the people next door.
Among the remaining educated youth, although Xu Donghui was a scumbag, he didn't seem to do anything naughty to her. He was more disgusted with Xu Luyao, while the other one was more naughty.
So she went to the room of the other two female educated youth without thinking.
She even knocked on the door out of courtesy.
It is care that opens the door.
"Come in and sit down?" they asked with concern. It was rare to see people coming to their place. Usually, they saw them mostly in the morning and evening after work.
The two of them always stick together, and sometimes she is too embarrassed to go up and say hello.
"I have something to do. I just went to the well in the backyard and couldn't find the watermelon I put in the well at noon," Zhou Yian said with a formal smile on his face. "I just came back and wanted to ask if you saw anyone come in."
When Guan Xin heard this, he reflexively looked at the melon peel still in his house.
Zhou Yian turned around and looked over.
See the shiny melon rind.
"Have you bought some melons?" Zhou Yian asked specifically.
"Not these two days." Guan Xin answered. He had bought some some time ago, but not many people grow watermelons. Only a few people grow some in their private plots. The educated youth like to eat them, and there are not many left, so he didn't buy any these two days.
"So what if you buy it? Only you can buy it, and no one else can, right?" Hu Yue had a different opinion on this matter.
Then Zhou Yian must be concerned about it.
"You said you bought melons, so when did you buy them?" Zhou Yian walked into the room, trying to be more rational. It would not be okay to be irrational.
"What? Who are you? Do I have to report to you whether I buy it or not?" Hu Yue was also in a bad mood. After all, her life had not been easy since Xu Luyao made a fuss.
The long-term cold treatment made her feel very angry.
I had planned to find someone to exchange some melons today, but was rejected. The reason was that it was agreed that they were to be left for Zhou Zhiqing.
Who wouldn’t be angry about this? Summer is already annoying.
When she came back, she saw people putting melons into the well water. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. When she came back from work in the afternoon, she went straight to take the melons and eat them.
But she certainly wouldn't say that.
Zhou Yian also knew that the man would not admit it, so he went forward to pull him away, "Tell me clearly where you bought it. If you can't explain it clearly, I will let the police come and talk to you. You know, we know each other very well."
She knew they were very familiar with each other. Two police officers came here to handle a case that day and even came here to have lunch at noon.
"Why should I go?" Hu Yue said stubbornly, "Why should I tell you?"
Zhou Yian looked at her steadily for two seconds, then said calmly, "Then I'll go directly to the police."
I turned around and prepared to go out, then counted three, two, one in my mind.
As expected, he heard, "Wait, even if I took it, so what? We are all educated youth. Is it really necessary to count a melon so carefully?"
"Taking something without asking is stealing." Zhou Yian turned around and sneered, "Hasn't this lesson been learned by you, the educated youth?"
Hu Yue didn't know what to say. She was indeed a little scared now. She didn't expect that she would not give her any face at all and would directly go to the police. She thought that at most they would scold her helplessly.
"It's okay if you haven't learned it. Just go to the police station for a few days and you'll be fine."
"The police won't care about a melon. They don't have that much free time." Hu Yue didn't think it was necessary.
"Oh, if you think you can't do it, then you can't do it." Zhou Yian acted confident, his expression didn't change at all, and he was about to turn around and leave.
This action really broke through her mental defenses. Hu Yue screamed, "What on earth do you want to do?"
"I just think that taking other people's things requires a price, right?" How could such a good thing happen in this world? Does she think that everyone should spoil her?
"What price are you talking about?" Hu Yue breathed a sigh of relief. Stopping meant there was still room for negotiation.
"I think it's too hot in the summer, so I gave you some melon. What do you think I should do as a thank you?" Zhou Yian paid attention to his wording.
"It's just money." Hu Yue knew what he wanted as soon as he heard it. Although it hurt, he still took out the money from his pocket and said as he took it out, "One dollar is enough? How many melons can I buy with one dollar?"
"Your gratitude is only worth this much." Zhou Yian sneered again.
"Don't be so mean." When Hu Yue took out one dollar, she originally wanted to give the full amount at once to let people see that she was not short of money, but she didn't expect that this person would not be satisfied with even one dollar.
"Forget it then." Zhou Yian was about to leave again, "Then we can meet at the Public Security Bureau."
"Why do you leave so easily?" Hu Yue was really impressed by her. "How about five dollars as a thank you?"
Zhou Yian walked a little slower, but didn't stop.
"Ten yuan! Ten yuan should be enough!" Hu Yue was a little upset in the back. It was just a melon, why did they have to make such a fuss? She had never done this to Xu Luyao before, even though she had eaten so much.
"Thank you." Zhou Yian turned around and said to Hu Yue with a smile.
"Of course I'm grateful." Hu Yue said it word by word through her teeth.
"Sister Guanxin, you heard it too. This is to express my gratitude. If someone turns the tables on me, you have to testify for me." Zhou Yian went straight forward and took the money, pretending not to see Hu Yue's pale face.
"Yes, it's a thank you." The person standing by was quite impressed by the concern. This melon was exchanged with the old lady, and it didn't cost much. But this person insisted on taking the blame and took someone else's melon.
Hu Yue looked at Guan Xin coldly, but she didn't feel anything because they were not the same kind of people.
Zhou Yian was also very happy to receive the money. She received a hundred times the thank-you fee for a melon. This was a great profit. So she happily handed the uneaten watermelon on her table to Hu Yue, "It's yours. Enjoy it."
Hu Yue was so angry that she threw the melon to the ground with her hand.
"Tsk, tsk, I have to say something to you, aren't you wasting food?" Zhou Yian smiled. It wasn't her melon anymore. Did she think she would feel bad if it fell to the ground?
Hu Yue was silent, with hatred in her eyes.
"It's okay. If you need anything else, you can come to me." It's money-making, not a bad thing. Ten dollars, how long would it take her to earn that much by working?
