“You’ve probably tampered with your grain bag a long time ago, Brother Xie Yuan. Quickly take out your grain bag and compare it. This bastard is definitely lying.”
Ever since Qin Xue swindled him out of a sum of money for medical expenses, Xie Yuan has really stopped talking to her. If it weren't for his father trying to curry favor with the Zhou family and sending him a considerable amount of money, he wouldn't even have enough to cover his own hospital expenses.
But he didn't want to ruin things over such a small matter. After all, Qin Xue knew him too well, and if she tripped him up, things might get messy.
His injuries haven't healed yet, and he can't withstand any more trauma.
"Brother Erzhuang, can you help me bring out the bag so everyone can see it?"
Without saying a word, Wang Dazhuang found Xie Yuan's grain bag and started carrying it out. When Qin Xue saw that Xie Yuan had more grain than the two of them, she immediately got excited and said, "Zhang Zhaodi, you still dare to say that you didn't steal my grain? If you didn't steal it, why does Brother Xie Yuan have so much, but I only have so little?"
As she spoke, she reached out to grab Zhang Zhaodi by the collar, saying, "You bitch, I'll teach you to talk back."
Zhang Zhaodi hurriedly dodged, her words more stubborn than anything else: "I didn't, I really didn't."
Qin Xue sneered, "Who else could it be but you?"
"Yes, yes..."
Lin Qingqing watched the farce with a cold eye until now, when she finally spoke up, "Xie Zhiqing didn't eat here while he was hospitalized, so shouldn't he have more food?"
A single word awakens one from a dream.
But what she didn't say was that there couldn't be that much more.
Sure enough, as soon as she said that, she noticed Xie Yuan giving her an approving look.
Xie Yuan had no opinion on who was right or wrong between Qin Xue and Zhang Zhaodi, he just didn't want to get involved in this nonsense again.
Lin Qingqing's words turned Qin Xue into a duck with its neck being choked, and her face turned red after a long time.
"Thank you, Lin Zhiqing, thank you."
Zhang Zhaodi quickly expressed her gratitude, appearing humble and weak.
Qin Xue had a feeling that things shouldn't be like this, but she was too confused to think of the key points. She could only watch as everyone looked at her with disdain before going about their own business.
Qin Xue stood in the yard for a long time until she felt a slight discomfort in her legs. Only then did she begin to worry about the future. Food was running out, and she had no work to do. Even if the autumn harvest came, she would still not be able to escape the fate of going hungry.
Going back home is unrealistic; you'll only get scolded and won't gain anything.
Then there's only one option...
"Brother Yuan, can I talk to you about something?"
After the two left the educated youth compound and found a secluded corner, Xie Yuancai said impatiently, "What is it now?"
Qin Xue looked at Xie Yuan, who was clearly different from before, and felt resentful. If it weren't for following him, she would never have come to this place to suffer.
"I'm running out of food and money, could you...?"
Xie Yuan knew what Qin Xue was going to say without listening, so he quickly cut her off, "I'm out of money too. The money my family sent me last time was all spent on medical treatment, and we don't have much food left. I don't even know when I'll be able to go back to work. I'm worried about how I'm going to make a living in the future."
That was the truth, but Qin Xue didn't want to hear it.
"Brother Yuan, do you really not want to help me? You know perfectly well who caused my current predicament. How could you be so heartless?"
Xie Yuan hated this kind of talk the most. "Wasn't that your own choice? Did I hold a knife to your throat and force you?"
When a man gets ruthless, even a dog passing by will bark at him.
Qin Xue knew he definitely wouldn't give her the money, so she hardened her heart and threatened, "Have you forgotten about the time you pushed me to block the wild boar? Believe me or not, I'll tell everyone about it. Do you think you'll be able to live such a good life here if the villagers knew your true colors?"
She thought this threat was deadly enough, but little did she know that Xie Yuan had long regretted being fooled by her last time. "You can go ahead and say it, and see who believes you. Nobody saw what happened that day. I can easily say that you lied to swindle money from me."
Qin Xue: "...Xie Yuan, are you sure you want to break ties with me?"
"Didn't you force me to do this? I've already paid the money I owed. If you continue to use this to blackmail me, believe me, I'll fight to the death. I'm a man, so what if my reputation is ruined? Life will just be a little harder. But if people find out about your past, guess what will happen?"
Gu An'an went up the mountain after work. Zhou Yue's legs were sore from running around for several days, so she took a day off. Thinking about the taste of wild scallion scrambled eggs, she endured her fatigue and wandered around the area with a basket, and found a small patch of wild scallions.
Little did she know that while she was squatting on the ground digging enthusiastically, a familiar sound suddenly rang out not far away. Zhou Yue listened carefully and found that the sound was coming from the other side of the slope, so she immediately listened carefully to the corner of the wall.
When Zhou Yue heard that Xie Yuan used Qin Xue to block wild boars, she wasn't surprised at all. What kind of good person could someone who could push his little friend into the water at the age of six be?
"Oh dear, why did you stop talking? What exactly did that bitch Qin Xue do? If you're going to say something, at least tell the whole story. What's the point of only saying half of it?"
Just as Zhou Yue was getting into the conversation, Qin Xue suddenly stopped talking, and Zhou Yue couldn't help but mutter to herself.
Just then, Qin Xue spoke up again from the other side of the slope.
"Xie Yuan, I'm already yours. Do you really not care about our years of relationship?"
At that moment, Zhou Yue was completely stunned.
Is Qin Xue Xie Yuan's person?
Even if Zhou Yue was naive, she knew it definitely didn't refer to a friendship.
After eliminating all possibilities, only the least likely one remains.
Qin Xue has already given herself to Xie Yuan!
Realizing this possibility, Zhou Yue gritted her teeth. Of course, she wasn't jealous, nor was she standing up for Qin Xue; she was angry at herself for being forced to go to the countryside by a scoundrel like Xie Yuan.
You slut, you slut, you slut!
He actually dared to harass me even after taking Qin Xue's advances! Disgusting! Filthy!
At this moment, she was only glad that she had always only felt disgust towards Xie Yuan and had never been moved by him in the slightest, otherwise she would have beaten herself to death right now.
Even so, she still felt as uncomfortable as if someone had thrown a pile of stinky dog poop on her.
She wanted to rush out and tear those two bastards to shreds, but reason stopped her. If she actually rushed out and started a fight, people who didn't know the situation would think she was driven to hatred by love.
"You're mine? Are you really only mine?"
