Having thought it through, Zhu Pandi was no longer willing to let Chen Hui hit her eight more times, but she also wouldn't agree to pay two cents.
"That can't be two cents. I've lost a dollar in similar cases before. I won't do it for two cents."
"Fine, fine, we can go find the brigade leader together and go to the farm, but you still have to pay me back!"
Zhu Pandi wasn't really going all out; she was gambling that Chen Hui would never be willing to go to the farm.
If Chen Hui doesn't want to go to the farm, then he'll have to pay money!
As it turned out, she won the bet. Even though Chen Hui knew she was gambling, he didn't dare to gamble his future with her, so he reluctantly took out a dollar to pay her back.
When Zhu Pandi received the money, she couldn't hide the smug look on her face, but she didn't notice that beneath Chen Hui's gloomy expression lay a pair of ruthless eyes.
Zhao Zhiyi saw this from the side, but he didn't say anything to warn them. After all, he didn't like either of them and didn't want to get involved.
After the compensation was paid, he turned around and went back inside to eat his own meal.
What a nuisance! Because of all this trouble, his food must be cold by now. It's too much trouble to reheat it, so he'll just have to make do with what he has.
Zhao Zhiyi was alright; at least he ate half of it before coming out. The people who were making a fuss outside hadn't even had a bite yet, and their rare and delicious meal had already gone cold.
Especially pork stew, no matter how many vegetables and water are added, it's still made with lard. After it cools down, the oil floats to the surface and solidifies, making it impossible to eat like that.
Everyone clearly has a solution; at worst, they could just put all the lunchboxes in the pot and steam them again, but nobody wants to do it.
In the end, Shi Qiang saw Zhu Pandi holding that lunchbox, looking pitiful, and stepped forward.
"Nana, let me heat up the pot. You can put the lunchbox in there. It'll be ready to eat soon, no problem."
Zhu Pandi was naturally willing to do so, and she had already put the lunchbox in before Shi Qiang even sat down in front of the stove.
Seeing this, the other people present quickly put their lunchboxes in as well, without any hesitation.
Seeing that Zhu Pandi wanted to express his opinion, Huang Ying immediately shut him up.
"What are you glaring at me for? The firewood belongs to everyone, and the pot belongs to everyone. Why can you use it but we can't? We want to use it, or you can't use it either!"
No matter how tough Shi Qiang and Zhu Pandi were, they couldn't be tough on this matter. After all, what they said was right; the pot and the firewood belonged to everyone.
So the two of them had no choice but to shut up and let them put the lunchboxes down. Then Shi Qiang worked hard to heat up the food for everyone.
After the food was heated up, everyone was finally able to eat their "pig-killing feast" without any trouble. This time, no one caused any trouble. Everyone took their lunchboxes back inside, leaving only Zhu Pandi and Shi Qiang sitting outside eating.
Shi Qiang ate very quickly, and after he finished, he sat there watching Zhu Pandi eat.
Having learned her lesson from those two fried eggs last time, Zhu Pandi immediately picked up her lunchbox and got up after seeing that Shi Qiang had finished eating.
"Um, Brother Qiang, you should go back and rest after you've finished eating. I'll go back later too, it's a bit cold outside."
Shi Qiang looked at Zhu Pandi and the lunchbox in front of her with deep affection, refusing to listen to any advice.
"It's okay, I'll wait for you. I can even help you wash the dishes later. It's dark outside, and I'm afraid you'll be scared."
Perhaps it was his overly direct gaze that made Zhu Pandi, who wasn't afraid at first, suddenly feel scared and immediately picked up her lunchbox and stood up.
