It was already quite late when she finished selling everything. She was so hungry at noon that she took two steamed buns from the space supermarket and ate them.
However, since the soy milk and milk in the supermarket were all packaged, she was not actually full after only eating two steamed buns. Seeing that Yang Wanqiu was really angry, she offered to treat her to a meal, so that she could also have a good taste of the braised pork from the supply and marketing cooperative, which is the standard dish for the male and female protagonists in the novel.
After a long string of sweet words, Yang Wanqiu reluctantly sat back down. Gu Xinyi then bought a plate of braised pork and four large meat buns for Yang Wanqiu as an apology. After another round of nice words, Yang Wanqiu reluctantly forgave Gu Xinyi.
However, after finishing their meal at Yang Wanqiu's high-class restaurant, the two of them checked their watches and found it was already two o'clock. They could only hurriedly grab their things and run to the place where the oxcarts were parked at the entrance of town.
The two of them were exhausted after a long day, so they couldn't run very fast, especially since Gu Xinyi's basket was full of things.
So the two people who rushed over only saw the dust kicked up after the oxcart left.
With no car to take and no letter of introduction, the two had no choice but to grit their teeth and walk back, a journey that took five or six hours.
Yang Wanqiu only managed to walk back around 8 o'clock because she hadn't taken anything with her. Gu Xinyi, who was carrying a lot of things, just collapsed on the roadside and waited for Yang Wanqiu to come back so someone could pick her up.
Of course, this was because the two of them lived in the small house in the backyard. If they had lived in the old house, Liu Shumei would have probably noticed that the two hadn't returned and sent people out to look for them long ago. It can only be said that these two people were really unlucky.
Chen Shuning's house is on the far side, so Yang Wanqiu will inevitably pass by Chen Shuning's house whether she is going home or looking for Gao Hongyuan's help.
Therefore, Yang Wanqiu, who was already tired, hungry and frustrated, smelled the lingering aroma of food when she passed by Chen Shuning's hut.
Looking further into the house, she saw He Chaoyang washing dishes with his back to the kitchen door. Yang Wanqiu, who was already jealous and resentful of Chen Shuning, then opened her mouth to ruin Chen Shuning's reputation.
However, she seemed to have forgotten that Chen Shuning was no longer the little girl she used to bully.
Without a moment's hesitation or a word, Chen Shuning threw down the rag in his hand and rushed out of the house before He Chaoyang could even react. He slapped Yang Wanqiu across the face and yelled, "Can't you see that Brother He and I are working in the kitchen with the lights on?"
Yang Wanqiu, if you're blind, don't go running around like this. If you accidentally fall and die one day, we'll have to pay our respects. Everyone's struggling financially, so I advise you to be kinder and stop causing trouble for everyone.
And you'd better explain to me clearly today what you mean by saying there's a man in my house. Brother He and I were working with the lights on and the door open, completely aboveboard.
Unlike some people who sneak into the male educated youth's room in the backyard as soon as it gets dark, scaring the two male educated youth so much that they dare not open the windows or doors to sleep in this heat, how dare such people come to me and criticize me?
Yang Wanqiu had taken a liking to Gao Hongyuan, so she often went to see him. It was no secret in the educated youth compound that Yang Wanqiu and Wang Zhi were together; everyone knew, but no one would say it out loud like Chen Shuning did.
Of course, Chen Shuning exaggerated a bit in his words. Yang Wanqiu knew her limits after all. With her experience in her previous life, she knew better than anyone how important a girl's reputation was. It was precisely because she knew this that she had the idea of ruining Chen Shuning's reputation.
So how could Yang Wanqiu have the guts to sneak into the male educated youth's room at night? It was just Chen Shuning making it up by imitating her. The fact that the two male educated youths didn't dare to open the windows and doors when they slept was true, but not at night, but during their lunch break.
That was because one time Yang Wanqiu couldn't sleep at noon and wanted to act cute to scare the two of them. Unexpectedly, Wang Zhi was a light sleeper and woke up when he felt a dark shadow at the window. When he opened his eyes, he saw Yang Wanqiu's carefully made-up face (with a thick layer of powder). He was really startled. From then on, the two of them always kept the windows and doors closed when they took a nap.
Yang Wanqiu clearly hadn't expected Chen Shuning to be so quick to resort to violence at the slightest provocation. Stunned by the slap, she covered her face and listened incredulously to Chen Shuning's nonsense.
Her face flushed with anger, she pointed at Chen Shuning and retorted, "You're talking nonsense! When did I go to the male educated youth's room after dark? You..."
"What do you mean, 'you'? Did I mention your name, Yang Wanqiu, even once? Besides, do you dare say that Gao Zhiqing and Wang Zhiqing didn't dare to sleep with the windows open because of you? Or do you dare swear that you didn't have any other thoughts about Gao Zhiqing?"
It's one thing to have filthy thoughts of your own, but it's wrong of you to use those filthy thoughts to speculate about others. Comrade Yang Wanqiu, I advise you to think before you speak in the future.
You must understand that Brother He is a member of the People's Liberation Army; a soldier's reputation cannot be casually tarnished by you.
It's only because you and I have been classmates for so many years that I can plead with Brother He to forgive you. Otherwise, just the fact that you slandered a soldier's reputation is enough to get the Revolutionary Committee to invite you over for a chat.
You don't need to thank me. Just don't show up in front of me and get in my way, that'll repay the favor. Alright, it's getting late, you should go do what you need to do. I don't have any leftovers, so I won't keep you any longer. Goodbye.
A soft laugh came from behind Chen Shuning. He Chaoyang was surprised that this little girl had such a sharp tongue, and he couldn't help but laugh out loud.
