Chapter 52 Marrying an Old Man
Yun Qiao rolled her eyes at her: "How should I know this? I'm also a new educated youth who just arrived."
"But you came a day earlier than us, how could you not know?"
"I just don't know." Yun Qiao stared at her with a bad look: "Are you going to wash it or not?"
"How can I wash without hot water?" Zheng Wenjing said in a state of despair, "The water here is so cold."
"You have to wash even if there's no hot water." Yun Qiao asked her coldly, "Aren't you the most hygienic person?"
"Of course I have to wash my feet, but I need hot water." Zheng Wenjing was scratching her head anxiously. "Washing my feet with ice water will give me a stomachache."
"I don't care." Yun Qiao snorted, "I want to see you wash your feet right now."
Zheng Wenjing pursed her lips and finally softened her tone: "Then tell me, where does your hot water come from?"
"Why should I tell you?" Yun Qiao sneered, "Why should I mock me? Why should I pick a fight with you?"
Zheng Wenjing's pretty face flushed crimson, and after a long while she managed to utter a single word: "I'm going to apologize to you, okay?"
"No more. There are too many new educated youth here today, and there's not enough hot water in the bathroom. This little hot water was meant for people to drink at night, but it's all wasted on this." Yun Qiao glanced at her sideways, his lips curled up: "How about you, please be kind and use the foot washing water I used?"
Zheng Wenjing's eyes suddenly turned red: "You bully me!"
Yun Qiao rolled her eyes, not buying her nonsense at all. "Why are you pretending to be such a naive person? It was you who bullied me first."
Xiao Bailian was speechless: "I...I just had a reasonable suspicion, and I didn't mean to target you."
Yun Qiao ignored her and only asked her, "Are you going to wash your feet or not? If not, I'll tell everyone tomorrow that the new female educated youth, Zheng Wenjing, doesn't wash her feet before bed."
"You!" Zheng Wenjing gritted her teeth in anger, picked up the empty basin and ran out: "I don't believe I can't get some hot water."
Yun Qiao heard her standing at the door of the male educated youth dormitory and calling her cousin. Her cousin came out and asked her what she wanted. Then there were the voices of other male educated youth joining in the fun and showing their affection.
After a while, Zheng Wenjing brought over half a basin of hot water.
She stood in front of Yun Qiao, raised her chin, and said proudly, "See? With my looks, I can get whatever I want with just a wave of my hand."
"It's just a little hot water. There are many people willing to give it to me. Don't try to embarrass me with this." After saying that, she took off her shoes and socks and put her white feet into the basin.
Yun Qiao was too lazy to pay attention to her and just said, "Then you are really promising."
She climbed onto the kang, crawled into the quilt, and wrapped herself tightly in the quilt with her back to Zheng Wenjing.
Zheng Wenjing felt that she was being ridiculed.
She held her breath, nearly fuming like a pufferfish, so she turned to another female educated youth and said, "Qi Chunyi, switch places with me."
A female educated youth named Qi Chunyi was not used to her stinking habit: "Why change it? My bedding is already made, why are you still fussing? I won't change it."
Zheng Wenjing said aggrievedly: "But I don't want to sleep next to Ye Yunqiao anymore."
"Everyone's about to go to bed. Changing now will take another ten minutes. Could you please stop wasting so much time? Just leave it at that. Don't waste your time or others' time."
Qi Chunyi made a gesture, signaling her to stop talking.
Zheng Wenjing refused to listen and instead started to accuse her: "Others bullied me and you didn't help me. Now you're bullying me too? You're still my cousin!"
