Chapter 36 036 The Fox Spirit
Although she could cook for them separately, she also wanted to improve the Qin family's meals and give them some extra nutrition.
She only had a few family members in both her lives, and she hadn't enjoyed their love enough yet, so of course she wanted them to live long lives.
Since the work was never going to be finished, Qin Xiaoxiao left before the workers could finish. Liu Mingyu glanced at her from afar, then lowered his head to carefully record the work points.
"Miao Feifei, two work points."
Miao Feifei's eyes welled up with tears again, and she looked at Liu Mingyu with a wronged expression. "Comrade Liu, I did so much work today, how come I only got two work points? Can't you give me more?"
Liu Mingyu didn't even look up. "How much work do you do and how many work points do you get? Do you have a problem with me, or with the commune's allocation?"
If you have any complaints, go talk to the brigade leader. I have a clear conscience.
Miao Feifei was surprised.
Why would she have a problem with the commune? And why should she bring it up with the brigade leader?
Do the people of Qinjiagou not understand language? Is that what she meant?
Miao Feifei tilted her head, revealing half of her fair neck, and said softly, "Comrade Liu, I was just asking, I didn't mean anything by it, and I have no problem with you, it's just... I noticed that Qin Xiaoxiao didn't do much work, can I ask her how many work points she got?"
Liu Mingyu finally raised his head, only to be met with a blur of white light.
Liu Mingyu was stunned for a moment, but quickly came to his senses and his face darkened.
Turning his face away, he said angrily, "Miao Zhiqing, you do so little work but have so much to do, and you even ask others for work points. What are you trying to do? Do you want to steal other people's work points or do you think I would show favoritism?"
Let me tell you, you can't steal it even if you want to. I keep track of everyone's work and how much each person did.
I didn't show favoritism. Qin Xiaoxiao did little work and remembered little of it. In these three days... she earned four work points.
Liu Mingyu was too ashamed to speak, and his voice lowered considerably.
Miao Feifei was immediately satisfied when she heard that Qin Xiaoxiao earned less than her.
"That's alright then, I was just asking out of curiosity."
Liu Mingyu glared at Miao Feifei, annoyed. "Why are you asking? Just do your own job."
What Liu Mingyu didn't say was that although Qin Xiaoxiao earned little, Qin Ye's work points were still credited to her. Ten work points a day, and in the past five or six days, Qin Xiaoxiao had accumulated sixty work points.
Miao Feifei was satisfied, feeling that she finally had something that Qin Xiaoxiao could compare to her in: she earned more work points than Qin Xiaoxiao.
She was satisfied, but Liu Mingyu was not. He glared at Miao Feifei and turned to leave.
Go home and wash your eyes; this female educated youth is utterly shameless.
No, I have to go back and talk to my girlfriend. I don't want her to find out that Miao Zhiqing seduced him after she marries in, and then misunderstand him.
Thinking of this, Liu Mingyu walked even faster, not even hearing his mother calling him.
Aunt Liu watched her youngest son's departing figure and muttered to herself.
"What's the rush? Going to find a partner?"
Watching Miao Feifei happily walk towards the educated youth settlement, Aunt Liu spat, "You sly fox, you're no good."
Did she not see her seducing her son? She even showed half her neck – what is that if not seduction? If she wasn't worried about affecting her son's job and marriage, she would have scratched her this morning.
It's such an honor for her son to be the village scorekeeper. If she ruins his job, she'll see how she deals with him.
Miao Feifei was unaware that Aunt Liu had been watching her since that day. In a good mood, she returned to the educated youth compound. She even went to the back room to see if Qin Xiaoxiao had returned. As expected, Qin Xiaoxiao's door was still locked.
Miao Feifei glared at the lock with resentment, "Do you think someone stole your things? You even locked it."
She didn't even consider that she locked the door before she left; which room in the educated youth compound wasn't locked before leaving?
Miao Feifei couldn't find Qin Xiaoxiao, so she turned around and went to find Huang Yuan.
“Brother Huang Yuan, I’m exhausted from working these past few days. I’ve never done this at home.”
As Miao Feifei spoke, tears welled up in her eyes, which made Huang Yuan feel a pang of heartache.
Huang Yuan felt sorry for Miao Feifei, but he wasn't foolish enough to offer to help her with chores. Not only had Miao Feifei never done these kinds of chores before, but neither had he.
Besides, he's the kind of person who wouldn't even pick up a fallen oil bottle at home, so when has he ever done so much work? He even wanted Miao Feifei to help him.
Huang Yuan looked at Miao Feifei with deep affection, "Feifei, just bear with it. I can't do anything about it. I can't even finish my own work, so I really can't help you."
It's all my fault. If I were stronger, I could have helped you.
Miao Feifei paused in wiping away her tears, sensing something was amiss, but didn't dwell on it, quickly taking the opportunity to apply eye drops to Qin Xiaoxiao.
“How can you say that, Brother Huang Yuan? It’s not your fault. It’s all Qin Xiaoxiao’s fault. If she hadn’t refused to give you her job, you wouldn’t have come to the countryside with me to suffer.”
In the past, after Miao Feifei's instigation, Huang Yuan's impression of Qin Xiaoxiao would have been even worse. But Huang Yuan was very rational now because he was afraid of being beaten by Qin Xiaoxiao. He didn't dare to blame Qin Xiaoxiao for the beating, for fear that Qin Xiaoxiao would find out and beat him up again.
"You can't say that. That job originally belonged to Qin Xiaoxiao's father, and she had just lost her parents. She was going through a very sad time. What I did was indeed wrong."
That's what he said, but Huang Yuan's face was ugly, and it was clear at a glance that he still hated Qin Xiaoxiao.
But Miao Feifei didn't notice Huang Yuan's expression at all; she was surprised that Huang Yuan would speak up for Qin Xiaoxiao.
How could he help Qin Xiaoxiao? Could it be that he still has feelings for Qin Xiaoxiao?
That's true. Qin Xiaoxiao's foxy face is the best at seducing men. Could it be that Qin Xiaoxiao seduced Huang Yuan when she wasn't paying attention?
When her attempt to sow discord failed, Miao Feifei immediately changed her attitude, becoming as delicate as a little white flower, looking at Huang Yuan with a wronged expression, "Brother Yuan, are you blaming me for giving you the idea to steal Qin Xiaoxiao's job?"
Miao Feifei seemed to have been hit hard and took two steps back, staring at Huang Yuan in disbelief.
And you know what? Her performance immediately made Huang Yuan feel guilty, realizing that his words might have hurt Miao Feifei.
“That’s not what I meant. I’m not blaming you. I just feel that I did something wrong before, and I can’t make the same mistake again.”
In the end, it all comes down to regret.
If you're so capable, why did you do it in the first place?
Miao Feifei glanced at Huang Yuan with disdain, then immediately lowered her head to hide the contempt in her eyes.
She couldn't afford to break up with Huang Yuan yet; she still needed him to get her back to the city. She had to appease him and get him to take her back.
"Brother Yuan, it was my fault. That incident wasn't your fault, and today's incident is also my fault. Please don't be angry."
Miao Feifei's humble and submissive manner pleased Huang Yuan, especially when Miao Feifei's small hand held his big hand, which softened his heart.
“I don’t blame you. That matter is in the past. We’ve both gone to the countryside. There’s no point in talking about it anymore. We should think about how to get through the current difficulties.”
Huang Yuan didn't want to get out of bed anymore; it was too tiring, and he couldn't take it anymore.
