At the same time, the distribution of vegetables from the first commune was almost finished.
There was enough food this year, and most people got the cabbage they wanted.
The price of vegetables is about the same as in previous years, with cabbage costing two cents per pound and white radish costing three cents per pound.
Another rare item is the rare hairtail, which costs 30 cents per kilogram.
But most villagers didn’t know how to eat it when they saw it, and three cents was too expensive. They would have to buy so much cabbage and radish, so no one bought it.
Some people also bought some bulk sparkling wine in large earthen jars. They couldn't afford pure grain wine, so they bought some sparkling wine to satisfy the cravings of the men at home.
Sparkling wine is made with saccharin, alcohol, baking soda, and a little color. Most of the sparkling wine sold now is red.
The festive red color perfectly reflects the atmosphere of the Chinese New Year.
Su Zhen bought five kilograms of cabbage and five kilograms of white radish. She was scared of the hairtail fish and didn't buy any.
He would not even buy sparkling wine, as he already had pure grain sorghum wine at home, which Shi Zhentang bought from Xinyi Town this time.
She figured if she waited any longer she wouldn't be able to buy a second batch, so she hurried home to make lunch.
In addition, Yang Dahua and Shi Xiaoli are not in a hurry.
Yang Dahua asked Shi Xiaoli to look after the vegetable basket while she went to the educated youth site to see Lu Juanjuan.
Such a big thing happened last night. She has to find out what happened.
After asking along the way, she finally found the dormitory for the female educated youth. Originally, Yang Dahua thought that when she walked in, she would definitely see Lu Juanjuan lying on the bed wiping her tears. After all, her plan failed.
Not only did she not get the man she loved, but her house was also demolished by a wild wolf. She must be very sad, right?
Unexpectedly, when Yang Dahua pushed the door open, she saw Lu Juanjuan quietly looking at herself in the mirror.
Although his spirits were not as good as usual, he was not as sad as she had imagined.
Yang Dahua was stunned: "Juanjuan, are you okay?"
Hearing her voice, Lu Juanjuan remained calm, continuing to look in the mirror, saying sarcastically, "Auntie, your medicine isn't working!"
Oh my god.
As soon as he opened his mouth, Yang Dahua was scared half to death. This was a youth cadre site, so he was not afraid of being heard by others.
She quickly turned around and closed the door, gasping for breath as she spoke, "Juan'er, can we not mention this anymore? Since it didn't work, let's just let it go. We can think of other ways later."
"Hmph, later?"
Lu Juanjuan slammed the mirror onto the table. "That idiot has followed Shi Zhentang into the army. Where can I go to seek revenge on her?"
"revenge?"
These words left Yang Dahua confused.
Her plan failed and her house was demolished. To be fair, it wasn't Tian Yuzhu's fault, so how could it be considered revenge?
Yang Dahua was not soft-hearted, but she just couldn't understand the reason at the moment.
Seeing her frown, Lu Juanjuan sneered, "If that fool steals Zhentang, it's like stealing my life's happiness. She is my biggest enemy in this life."
"Then...what are you going to do next?" Yang Dahua understood.
"Go get me some more medicine."
"What?"
Yang Dahua's eyes widened in fear.
She was worried last night, fearing that Lu Juanjuan might take too much medicine and something might happen.
She even regretted it the whole night. It wasn't that she regretted that someone might die, but she was afraid that she would be implicated in the end.
She finally made it to dawn and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Shi Zhentang still alive.
Now you want me to do it again.
Yang Dahua naturally shook her hand unwillingly: "Auntie, I don't dare anymore. You should think of other ways!"
Lu Juanjuan's face suddenly turned cold. "This is not up to you. Zhentang will be returning to the army after the New Year. If that idiot wants to go with him, then you have to get the medicine for me before they leave. Otherwise, I will tell Shi Zhentang that you gave me the medicine last night and it was you who came up with the idea."
"Juanjuan, you can't hurt me like this!" Yang Dahua never expected that she would end up in a difficult situation.
"Auntie, I'm not trying to harm you. I'm just showing you the way!" Lu Juanjuan smiled grimly. "We all know why you're helping me so much. Xiaoli likes Kong Xingbai and wants to live a good life in the city. But if Kong Xingbai refuses to change her mind, is there nothing she can do? Are you all blind? Kong Xingbai is the only man in this educated youth center?"
"Among these male educated youth, there are many who are superior to Kong Xingbai in terms of family background and education. When they return to the city, they will not just work in the factory. They will go back to become cadres, at least cadres in the county."
"Aunt, I'm going to give you two options now. Either you help me get some more medicine, and I'll show Xiaoli the way. Or, let's fight to the death, and I'll expose you in front of Zhentang. Anyway, it's you who's asking Uncle Tao for the medicine, not me, so think about it carefully!"
“…”
The expression on Yang Dahua's face was as colorful as a palette.
Sometimes her eyes lit up, sometimes her face turned ashen, until finally, she was like a deflated ball: "But the packet of medicine I gave you last time was so large, you didn't use it all last night, did you?"
If Shi Zhentang was still in good condition today after using up all the medicine, he would be a complete non-human.
"No." Lu Juanjuan looked out the window with a fierce look: "The medicine last night didn't work. This time I want to deal with that idiot directly. If I... poison."
"What?" Yang Dahua's legs went weak. Is he going to kill someone?
"Aunt, I've put this here, go back and think about it carefully!"
"But how dare I ask Mr. Tao for poison?"
"That's your problem, figure it out yourself."
After leaving the educated youth site, Yang Dahua felt empty-headed and walked with one foot high and one foot low, feeling dizzy.
Her palms were full of cold sweat and her heart was in turmoil.
Even if she wanted to put Shi Xiaoli's matter aside now, Lu Juanjuan would not let her go. It seemed that this woman was determined to take someone down with her.
If Shi Zhentang knew that it was her idea to drug him yesterday, what would be the consequences?
Just thinking about Yang Dahua makes her heart jump out of her throat with fear... Should she really grit her teeth and go all out?
"Mother."
She walked to the commune unknowingly. Shi Xiaoli, who was waiting for her there, saw her distraught look and ran over to call her several times but there was no response, so she simply patted her on the shoulder.
Yang Dahua was frightened and shuddered: "..."
"Mom, what's wrong with you?" Shi Xiaoli rolled her eyes, as if she had seen a ghost in broad daylight.
"Uh, no, nothing." Yang Dahua calmed down when she saw that it was her daughter.
Only at this moment did she realize that she should be glad that she did not tell Shi Xiaoli about this matter, otherwise, she would have been controlled by Lu Juanjuan!
Shi Xiaoli didn't think much about it and continued to ask: "How is Sister Juanjuan now? Didn't she get scared badly by what happened last night?"
"It's okay, I'm fine!"
Not only is he good, but he is also good at scheming and plotting.
Yang Dahua is now really swallowing her anger and can't even express her pain.
