Chapter 116 Heal Her Broken Arms and Legs (2/2)



Zhou Yutong was on the verge of a breakdown. "Zhou Yunze, are you still my brother? You trust a stranger but not your own sister. Your sister has been bullied like this, and you haven't said a word. You're a coward!"

Zhou Yunze, who had already arrived in the courtyard, clenched his fists, furious.

But thinking of his mother who had died young, he held back and went into the male educated youth dormitory without saying a word.

A sense of powerlessness, with no one to stand up for her, filled Zhou Yutong's heart. She grabbed a pillow and threw it to the ground. "Li Xiyue, you bitch, you dare to harm me! I won't let you get away with this!"

Li Muqing, who was also lying in bed, was so frightened by what she saw that she didn't dare to breathe.

Zhou Yunxia looks terrifying, like she's about to eat people, so scary!

Li Xiyue heard the noise from the educated youth settlement. She smiled happily, tidied up the herbs in the yard, and prepared to cook dinner.

She received three catties of wild boar, cut off some of it, stir-fried it with garlic sprouts, and steamed a bowl of rice.

Since I cook small portions for one person, I steam the food instead, so it's all eaten in one meal and there are no leftovers.

It's getting hot, and without a refrigerator, leftovers will spoil. Of course, most importantly, she doesn't like eating leftovers.

While she and her dog were happily eating, a quarrel broke out again at the educated youth settlement.

"I'm the one who brought the wild boars so they could eat wild boar meat. Why shouldn't I get any meat?" Zhou Yutong asked angrily, looking at the sweet potato and a few bland vegetables in her bowl.

Zhou Yunze said, "It cost two yuan to treat your injury. We don't have much money left. I exchanged the meat with Wang Zhiqing for money. You'll need money for your medicine later."

Their mother died when they were young, and their father remarried, having a son and a daughter. He and his sister then lived a life of uncertainty, barely having enough to eat and having to work every day.

Not long ago, the job he had worked so hard to get was taken away by his stepmother's son. His stepmother also enrolled him and his sister in a rural job, and even took the rural allowance, leaving them with only twenty yuan.

Along the way, my younger sister kept asking for this and that, which cost us about three yuan. We spent another three yuan exchanging things in the village, and two yuan treating her injuries. We only had about ten yuan left.

My sister's injury won't heal in a day or two, and she needs to take medicine. How can this little bit of money be enough?

He exchanged six catties of wild boar meat for two yuan and fifty cents, which covered his sister's medical expenses, and he thought it was a good deal.

As for meat, it's fine if they don't eat it. Anyway, they've hardly ever eaten meat since they were little, and they've still managed to get by.

He just didn't expect his sister to throw such a tantrum.

"I don't care, I want to eat meat!" Zhou Yutong started making a fuss.

During the apocalypse, she lived a life where she didn't know where her next meal would come from. In order to get food, she did not hesitate to betray Li Xiyue and join forces with He Zhiyuan to take away Li Xiyue's space. In the end, she even lost her life.

Having arrived in this wretched place, although it's a little better than the apocalypse, we still don't know where our next meal will come from. Let alone eating meat, we can't even get any meat on a regular basis.

Today she risked her life to lure a wild boar, almost losing half her life, but the meat that was almost in her mouth is now gone.

How could she accept this?

"Xiaoxia, can't you be a little more sensible?" Zhou Yunze suppressed his anger. If it weren't for her injuries, he would have really wanted to give her a good scolding and wake her up.

Zhou Yutong overturned the bowl, "I won't eat it! I'd rather starve than eat without meat!"

Seeing the hard-won food being wasted like this, Zhou Yunze was furious. He picked up the food from the ground, threw down the words, "If you don't eat it, then go hungry!" and stormed off.

Then Zhou Yutong vented her frustration by throwing things around.

The people in the kitchen ignored the commotion and continued eating the wild boar meat.
