Chapter 78 Extra Money



Chapter 78 Extra Money

Jiang Xiurong looked a little strange and seemed to be hesitating.

Xia Zhizhi went over to support her waist and said, "Sister Xiurong, you saw it, didn't you? Don't be afraid, tell us, or we'll break that turtle's legs!"

Just as she finished speaking, other people from the Youth League Institute came back from work and heard her talking big as soon as they came in.

Li Mao asked hurriedly, "What's the matter? Who did you quarrel with? If there is anything, we can talk it out. But don't make a scene, or we will be laughed at by others."

There would be occasional conflicts among the people at the educated youth point, but these were all internal conflicts. There would be quarrels under the same roof, so they had to be more united in dealing with the outside world and not let the people in the team see the excitement.

Xia Zhizhi pointed at the bag of snakes that were slowly approaching and was looking at them. She said, "I don't know who was so ungrateful as to throw a bag of snakes into our yard. The snakes got out and crawled all over the yard. They almost bit a few of us weak, pitiful and helpless girls. It was so scary!"

Zhao Jinhua was just walking to the bag. When she heard that it was a bag of snakes, she was so scared that she jumped away like a monkey. She covered her chest and said, "Oh my god, you scared me!"

Cui Zijin hurried forward a few steps and looked at Han Youran nervously: "Are you okay? Were you bitten?"

Han Youran shook his head.

Tang Mingli also nervously ran to Jiang Xiurong's side and observed her, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that she was okay.

As for Wang Lizhen and Xia Zhizhi, no one was paying attention to them. They were still standing, so they must be fine.

Tang Mingli hung his head and said with a look of regret: "I'm sorry, I caught the snake, I didn't expect it to run away..."

There is not much work in the fields recently, and everyone takes turns to work. Tang Mingli and Cui Zijin did not work today. They went to the mountains and collected some firewood. They happened to encounter a nest of ground snakes.

The scientific name of this snake is Agkistrodon acutus. It is usually stupid and doesn't like to move much. It is poisonous, but the poison is not particularly strong.

This group of dirt balls probably had a good meal, and everyone was eating well. Originally, the whole family was lying quietly in the pit, but he was defeated by Xia Zhizhi and became greedy for money, so he took over the whole group.

Tang Mingli was short of money, so he had to find a way to make some money. This nest of fat snakes could be exchanged for two or three yuan by sending them to the supply and marketing cooperative, which was also a good income.

He came back carrying a load of firewood and saw that the educated youth had not yet finished their work, so he put the snake bag aside and went to carry the other load back.

Jiang Xiurong, Han Youran and Wang Lizhen were slacking off again today and came back earlier than others. Jiang Xiurong just happened to see Tang Mingli put down the bag and go out again from a distance.

Normally, no matter what Tang Mingli brought back from the mountain, he would always give it to Jiang Xiurong first.

Seeing Tang Mingli tie a cloth bag tightly and put it on the ground, Jiang Xiurong couldn't help but be curious, just like the unopened express package.

She saw some movement inside and recalled that Tang Mingli had asked her if she liked rabbits. She wondered if it was a little rabbit given to her.

It’s so hot, don’t let the little rabbit be suffocated to death.

She reached out to untie the rope, and as soon as it was untied, a snake head popped out from inside. She was so scared that she kicked the bag three meters away.

The snake family was cooling off in the pit, but for some reason someone put them in sacks. After finally letting them out to get some air, they were kicked again. They had to scatter in all directions.

Han Youran and Wang Lizhen were washing their faces in the yard with water at that time. When they saw the nest of snakes running around, they were immediately scared out of their wits.

Xia Zhizhi knew what happened next.

Xia Zhizhi immediately jumped up: "You caught a poisonous snake and didn't put it away. It's okay if it bites me, but what if it bites Sister Xiurong and Sister Youran..."

Jiang Xiurong looked at Tang Mingli with his head drooping, feeling a little distressed. With tears in her eyes, she pulled Xia Zhizhi and said, "Don't blame Tang Zhiqing. It's my fault. I untied the rope, and I didn't know there was a snake inside."

Li Mao and several other male educated youth knew at first glance that Tang Mingli had made some extra money.

Li Mao advised: "This is a misunderstanding. Tang Zhiqing, look, this female educated youth is frightened. When you replace this bunch of country idiots, buy some candy and treat everyone to it!"

Two other male educated youth who lived in the same room with Tang Mingli laughed and said, "I don't like candy. It would be great if Tang could get me a pack of cigarettes to smoke."

The male educated youth dispersed, chatting and laughing, and everyone took a basin of water to wash their hands and faces.

Tang Mingli said sorry to them and walked out with the bag in his hand, looking annoyed.

Jiang Xiurong was afraid that the three of them would be unhappy, so he coaxed them one by one for a while.

Han Youran knew it was an accident and didn't say much. Although she was shocked, she felt fortunate that no one was injured.

Wang Lizhen was a little unhappy, but for Jiang Xiurong's sake, she pouted and gave up.

Jiang Xiurong saw that Xia Zhizhi was a little embarrassed, so she took her hand and coaxed her softly, "I am primarily responsible for this matter. It was because I was too curious to open the bag. Please don't be angry, okay? Sister Xiurong will give you a gift and apologize..."

Xia Zhizhi has always shown that she dislikes Tang Mingli, and after this incident, she probably dislikes him even more.

But to Jiang Xiurong's surprise, Xia Zhizhi was not too difficult to appease this time. She just said with a little displeasure: "I'm fine, but I see his character. What if he is careless like this time in the future and causes Sister Xiurong to get hurt?"

After saying that, he returned to his room.

Jiang Xiurong looked at her from behind and asked Han Youran uncertainly, "Is Zhizhi unhappy?"

Han Youran was also unsure: "Let me see her expression while we eat later?"

Wang Lizhen crossed her arms and snorted, "Look at Xia Zhizhi's mouth. If she was really unhappy, how could she be so calm?"

So it is said that a bystander sees more clearly.

Jiang Xiurong glanced at Wang Lizhen with some rebuke: "Don't say that, Zhizhi is different from you."

In Jiang Xiurong's eyes, Xia Zhizhi was just a clever, brave but weak little girl. There was no need for her to be so weird.

Han Youran used to sometimes feel that Xia Zhizhi was gossiping, but now she has changed her mind. She thinks that the girl is really simple, kind, gentle and considerate. She may say a few harsh words to others occasionally, but it is just her little arrogance, and it is harmless!

Han Youran didn't want to talk to Wang Lizhen any more, so she pulled Jiang Xiurong into the kitchen and said, "I think Zhizhi was frightened. She was not in good health to begin with, and I don't know if she will feel uncomfortable. I have some eggs, and I will steam an egg custard for her later."

Jiang Xiurong said: "Okay, I'll add some shrimp skin, I think she likes it..."

Wang Lizhen curled her lips in the back. She saw that apart from the long-legged bench, there was nothing Xia Zhizhi didn't like to eat. Unfortunately, no one believed her.

As for Xia Zhizhi, of course nothing happened to her.

The reason she went back to the room was because the system had been condemning her.

In the original story, there was no such thing as Tang Mingli digging out the snake's nest.

It was because she always provoked Tang Mingli that he was thinking about making some extra money.

It was precisely because of this that Xia Zhizhi did not rebuke Tang Mingli in person.

[Can't you just flirt with the male lead honestly, make the female lead a little jealous, have a sadomasochistic relationship, and then improve their relationship? ]

The system advised her earnestly.

Xia Zhizhi asked it, "Tongzi, are you misogynistic?"

The system is puzzled [How could that be? I really like girls, otherwise why would I tie you up? ]

She then asked, "Is your creator a misogynist?"

[No wow]

"Look, you guys don't dislike women, so why do we have to make the heroine unhappy?"

Xia Zhizhi persuaded it in return: "As long as I make the protagonist suffer and make him cherish his feelings more, our goal will be achieved, right?"

The system feels something is not right, but I don’t know how to refute it.

She continued, "I know you want the story to be more dramatic, so we should start with the male lead. The male lead is so tough and resilient!"

The system felt that something was wrong, but it knew that Xia Zhizhi would not listen even if it told her, so it reprimanded her a few times and then shut down.

Xia Zhizhi is too lazy to manage the system.

The system is also ignorant. For a person like her, reasoning cannot stop her from doing what she wants.

But electric shock can.
