Chapter 64: Penniless



She packed up the unfinished food in a lunch box, went to the window to buy a meat bun, and then went to the tractor park with everyone else.

Seeing Nangong Ruochen still on the tractor, she walked over quickly.

He looked at the girl who was walking towards him with a smile, and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously. He stepped forward and took the basket on her back: "Give it to me! I'll put it in the car for you."

"Okay." Yun Siying put down the backpack and took out a white cloth bag from it. Inside was a big meat bun wrapped in oil paper. She handed a bun to Nangong Ruochen: "I guessed you haven't had lunch yet, so I bought you a few buns. Eat first before driving."

"Thank you Siying, I'm hungry too." He had just finished his work and had not had time to have lunch. He did not expect Siying to still be thinking about him. His heart warmed and he started to eat heartily.

Yun Siying looked at him eating the buns and felt a little sorry for him, wondering if he was starving and that was why he ate so fast. I quickly handed him a bottle of soda: "Eat slowly, be careful not to choke."

"It's okay, keep the soda for yourself." Nangong Ruochen took the soda.

“Take it.” Yun Siying stuffed it into his hand and stood aside.

Nangong Ruochen smiled gratefully and did not refuse. He ate a meat bun and a glass of soda and enjoyed it very much.

The educated youth who followed behind also saw this scene and looked at the two of them with scrutiny. They felt that there must be something fishy between the two of them. They had never seen Nangong Zhiqing take such generous care of anyone.

This Yun Zhiqing was also always so generous to others, but he made an exception to Nangong Zhiqing, which made several male Zhiqing envious.

"Yun Siying, you treat us educated youth so differently. Do you value Nangong's family background?" Li Laidi just couldn't stand Yun Siying being better off. A person who occupied other people's superior life for many years should be deposed. Why can she still live such a comfortable life?

"Yes, I treat them differently." Yun Siying said nonchalantly.

"Nangong Zhiqing, you see it! Yun Siying is attracted by your family background. She wants to please you so much because she wants to go back to the city." Li Laidi said hurriedly, as if he had discovered a stain on Yun Siying.

"Li Zhiqing, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. I grew up with Yun Zhiqing, and I know exactly what kind of person she is. Now we help each other and have mutual support, so why is it so unbearable in your eyes?"

"It seems that there is something wrong with your thinking, and it needs to be improved." Nangong Ruochen ate the buns contentedly and said slowly, the haze in his eyes flashed away.

"Yun Siying has clearly admitted it, but you pretended to be blind and blindly believed her. You even said that there was something wrong with my thinking. It's obvious that you can't tell right from wrong." Li Laidi felt more and more aggrieved as he spoke, and tears kept rolling down his cheeks.

"Nangong Ruochen, I still have things to do, so I won't go back with you." Yun Siying hasn't been to the black market yet?

"Then go ahead and do your work. I'll pick you up here at four in the afternoon." Nangong Ruochen didn't ask her anything else.

"No, I can go back by myself." Yun Siying waved her hand.

Wang Panpan and his wife watched as all the educated youth in the village gathered here. They quickly climbed onto the tractor and found a comfortable seat. It's fun to be lively, but you have to take care of yourself first.

When the other educated youth saw what the couple did, they no longer cared to watch the fun and quickly climbed onto the bus. By the time Li Laidi reacted, the good seats on the bus had already been taken and she could sit at the back of the bus. Then several villagers also got on.

Shu Ruxue and Shen Mubai followed behind the villager. Their lips were chapped and they looked depressed.

Chen Siming looked at the two of them, his eyes lit up, and he said to Shu Ruxue happily: "Shu Zhiqing, I heard that you took a sum of money from Shen Zhiqing today, please return the two hundred yuan I lent you."

Shu Ruxue's face turned pale in an instant, her eyes reddened, and she said with some hesitation: "Chen, Chen Zhiqing, I did get the money today, but it was stolen."

As she spoke, she felt wronged, and her tears could no longer be controlled and flowed down her cheeks.

Shen Mubai, who was standing by, looked at her crying and felt a little soft-hearted. He was about to step forward and plead for her. But thinking about what he had experienced during this period, he withdrew the hand he had just extended.

"Shu Zhiqing, I lent you all my last savings. Now your money has been stolen. What does that mean?" Chen Siming looked at her crying, as if she was bullied by him, and felt inexplicably irritated.

"Chen Zhiqing, can you give me a few more seconds? I will definitely pay you back when I have money." Shu Ruxue felt a little unhappy as she saw Han Yuecheng still questioning her.

"Then give me a specific repayment date, otherwise you will say that the money was stolen and try to cover up the matter." Chen Siming regretted borrowing money in the first place.

Xu Ronghua said, "Shu Zhiqing, your money was stolen. Didn't your fiancé Shen Zhiqing also receive the money today? Let him help you pay it first, and then you can pay him back when you have money."

"Brother Mu Bai's money was also stolen." Shu Ruxue lowered her head and felt powerless. After they left the post office, the little money they had on them disappeared.

If you ask Yun Siying where the money went, she will definitely say that she took it away just to watch the two of them starve and walk back to the team. She could actually choose not to take Shen Mubai's money, but since he was tied to Shu Ruxue, she could only vent her anger on him.

"Did you two do anything to anger others?" Wang Dawei said half-jokingly, thinking that these two were really unlucky.

Just as the two were about to climb into the car, Nangong Ruochen's cold voice rang out: "You two, do you have the fare?"

"Nangong Zhiqing, we are all from the same Zhiqing Institute. Could you please give us a ride first and then pay for today's fare tomorrow when we have money?" Shu Ruxue pleaded, with displeasure in her eyes.

"No, this tractor is the public property of the village, and the fare is also public property. I can't make the decision." Nangong Ruochen remembered that these two people had caused Yun Siying a lot of trouble.

"Then why don't you lend us some money?" When Shu Ruxue heard his answer to her, she wanted to take advantage of the situation.

"Am I familiar with you?" Nangong Ruochen did not give the two men a chance to argue. He started the tractor and drove away with a car full of people.

Shu Ruxue and Chen Mubai stood there, leaving only a cloud of dust. Looking at the sneer on Yun Siying's face as she stood beside her, she glared at her fiercely with her hands hanging down.

"Yun Siying, what's so funny? Nangong Ruochen didn't wait for you anyway. Are you disgusted by him?" Thinking of this, a sarcastic smile appeared on her face.
