At this moment, Zhou Hongxia, who always knew the division of labor between the two, couldn't help but frown and look at Zhu Pandi with disapproval.
"Comrade Zhu Pandi, don't go too far. Since the day you were assigned to work with Comrade Pan Xiuying, it's only been your turn twice. On both occasions, you either had a headache or a fever, leaving all the work to her alone."
So what's the reason you're not cooking today, and why is Comrade Pan Xiuying also unwilling to cook?
Zhu Pandi didn't expect anyone to reveal their usual practices. After all, she had only done it twice, and no one should have known.
But why is Zhang Hongxia speaking out with such certainty, as if she had witnessed it herself?
Zhu Pandi felt a little flustered, but she remained as stubborn as ever.
"I, I, Sister Hongxia, I've always thought you were a gentle older sister, why did you say that to me? I was hurt and had a headache, that's why..."
Hearing her explanation, Zhang Hongxia shook her head helplessly, not intending to say anything more, but the others had already heard everything she had just said.
So when Huang Ying saw that Zhang Hongxia was unwilling to talk about Zhu Pandi anymore, she immediately took over the conversation.
"I think your injury has almost healed! And what does your headache have to do with us? Didn't you provoke those two first and get beaten up? Why should our headache prevent us from eating?"
And even if you have a headache, couldn't you at least find someone to switch with? Why just lie here in the room like this? Now look what's happened, it's mealtime and nobody gets any food! What are we going to do?!
Zhu Pandi originally wanted to pretend to be pitiful, but Huang Ying saw through her act. She really didn't know how to make amends, so she continued to sob.
It's a pity that, apart from Shi Qiang, no one in the entire educated youth settlement would show her any mercy.
However, Shi Qiang didn't jump out immediately this time because his stomach was also growling with hunger. As a result, there was no food to eat, and he also had some complaints about the people who cooked for him.
Seeing that even Shi Qiang didn't speak up for her, the people at the educated youth settlement all started criticizing her, and of course, some were also talking about Pan Xiuying.
But Pan Xiuying remained silent, making it feel like punching cotton; not only did she not vent her anger, she only made herself angrier. The other one was just sobbing, which was annoying to watch.
Perhaps softened by Zhu Pandi's tears, Shi Qiang couldn't bear it again and hesitated for a long time before finally speaking up.
“Huang, Wang, and Zhou, can you please stop talking? Nana already knows she was wrong, and she's in pain, so she just can't cook.”
If you ask me, isn't this your problem?
You knew perfectly well that she had been lying in bed, yet you didn't arrange for anyone else to cook, leaving everyone hungry. How can you blame only Nana?
Huang Ying and the others were speechless upon hearing this. They did know that Zhu Pandi was lying in bed and hadn't gotten up, but Pan Xiuying wasn't in the bedroom, so they all assumed that the honest Pan Xiuying had gone to cook again.
Who knew that Pan Xiuying had simply hidden herself away and hadn't done anything? As a result, when it was time to eat, everyone came out on their own, only to find a cold and deserted scene.
Huang Ying and her friends were naturally unwilling to take the blame, so after a brief silence, they began to refute her forcefully.
