The next day, Chu Yao got up early and heated up yesterday's leftovers while the babies were still asleep. This was today's breakfast for the family.
Saving is also a virtue. Of course, it is inevitable now. If you waste food, you will just have to wait until the next meal to go hungry.
During the lunch break, Chu Yao set out to the Youth League Home to find Yu Min. Before she even entered the gate of the Youth League Home, she heard a lot of noise inside, like a swarm of bees buzzing.
There was a coming and going of people, just like the supermarket promotions in the previous life, with a group of old men and women shouting.
Chu Yao listened carefully and found out that they were blaming each other over who would cook lunch.
I saw a female educated youth pushing another female educated youth, and the female educated youth who was pushed immediately grabbed the other female educated youth and scratched her face.
We push each other and scratch each other. I am having a hard time and you are having a hard time too. We are all having a hard time. Let's see who is the one who is really having a hard time in the end.
Several male educated youth wanted to persuade them but didn't know where to start. One of them was accidentally scratched. Now, with so many people in the educated youth compound, everyone had to stand aside and wait for the fighting to stop.
After about ten minutes, the young woman who was being tickled luckily won, but a clump of her hair was pulled out, and the other young woman looked even more pitiful, with her face covered in nail marks and faint traces of blood.
Chu Yao watched a great show for free and was in a good mood.
After their fight was over, Chu Yao swaggered into the Zhiqingyuan. The female Zhiqing who had just been fighting saw Chu Yao and laughed at her: "Hey, who was it? It turns out it's Chu the fool. Is he delivering money or food to Zhiqing Yu this time?"
Chu Yao pretended not to hear the educated youth's taunts and shouted directly to Yu Min beside her, "Yu Zhiqing, a while ago you said you had some books you could lend me, but you only needed some money to borrow the books. I've already paid you back last time. Please return the money I lent you the other times today. I have three sons to support, and I can't compare to you, a lonely family, where one person feeds the whole family."
Yu Min never expected that Chu Yao, who had always treated him kindly, would ask him to pay back the money and grain under the pretext of the book.
It is true that he has always looked down on this country girl, who has nothing good to offer except her face and figure, so he provided her with a lot of benefits in the name of lending her books.
Unexpectedly, this village girl suddenly came to her senses one day and knew how to ask for her own money and food, and she did so openly.
Yu Min's face suddenly turned as dark as ink. What's wrong with this stupid woman? Why did she come to the educated youth's place? I used to be so nice to this fool.
Chu Yao didn't care about Yu Min's ugly face. If the scumbag had the guts, he should not seduce the ignorant young woman. He was simply shameless to the extreme.
"Yu Min, I lent you fifty yuan. Since you have that book, I'll give you a discount. If we convert it all into money, you should give me a hundred yuan in total."
"Chu Yao, you, you, do you have so much money and food? You are taking advantage of the situation." Yu Min asked Chu Yao with trembling fingers.
"Yu Min, I'm giving you a low price for the grain. I'm lending you fine grain. If I'd paid you the price at the supply and marketing cooperative, I'm afraid you'd have paid more than fifty yuan. Furthermore, I'm not only lending you money and grain, I've also lent you several pieces of cloth. You have to give me all of that today, or you'll go to jail.
You also know that my man should be back in a few days. I am doing this for your own good. After all, my man is much stronger than a weakling like you. You don’t want to be beaten by him, do you? "
Compared to Chu Yao's cheerful smile, Yu Min was furious. It was because she had been after this fool in the first place, and she had not received the love and care of her husband for a long time. She took advantage of the opportunity and showed concern for her, which made this fool willingly give her money and food.
Now this fool is no longer easy to fool, and her husband is coming back. If she pays back the money, she will be unwilling to do so. If she doesn't pay it back, what if her husband beats her up without anyone noticing? It will be difficult to get treatment in the countryside, and taking leave will delay work points.
Seeing that Yu Min was still thinking about it, Chu Yao shouted impatiently: "Yu Min, hurry up and get the money. My children at home are waiting for me. Hurry up and don't think about shirking your debt. I know your home address and I will send a letter of denunciation to your house when the time comes." Chu Yao hadn't finished speaking.
Yu Min immediately said, "Here, here, here. Just wait for me. I'll get it for you right away."
If only the anger in Yu Min's tone wasn't so obvious.
The other people in the Youth League compound were whispering.
The young man who had just been scratched while trying to break up the fight said, "Didn't Yu Min say that this was given to him by Chu the fool? I remember how proud he was at that time."
"Oh, isn't it just taking advantage of the country fool who knows nothing and relying on his city status to cheat people out of food and drink? If it were me, I would have died of shame long ago."
"He thought country women were easy to fool, but now this country woman he looked down upon has taught him a lesson."
"Tell me, how come this fool Chu is no longer stupid? It turns out the rumors in the village are right."
"Rumors, what rumors?"
Hearing the gloating words of these educated youth, Chu Yao glared and turned to look at the person who was speaking.
Those chattering educated youth immediately shut up.
How come this fool Chu has become so scary now?
Although there was some sourness in the words of others, everyone present envied Chu Yao.
Of course, except for a few upright people, everyone thinks that Chu Yao is smarter than before.
Chu Yao didn't have to wait too long. Yu Min came over with a stack of money and stuffed it into Chu Yao's hand.
Chu Yao immediately became serious and carefully counted the money in her hand. There were notes ranging from a few cents to a few dollars, a thick stack.
