Li Xiyue accepted it without hesitation. She had worked up a sweat to save them, and she couldn't let all that sweat go to waste.
Besides, Zhou Yunze sold his prey for at least fifty yuan tonight, and Wang Jiaxing sold a cartload of wine for about thirty yuan.
Giving each person a dollar is nothing at all.
"Are you also from the Red Sun Production Brigade?" Wang Jiaxing asked.
Li Xiyue shook her head, "No, I'm from the Hongqi Production Brigade."
"Then you've run across the aisle." Wang Jiaxing wiped his sweat and pointed in a direction, "The Red Flag Production Brigade is over there."
"It's alright, I'll just go back along the river." Li Xiyue said, getting up, carrying her basket on her back, and walking away.
Zhou Yunze asked, "Brother, I still don't know your name?"
"We are both wanderers in this world, why should we need to have known each other before?" After showing off, Li Xiyue disappeared into the night.
Zhou Yunze's lips twitched, but he didn't linger any longer and pushed the cart back to the village with Wang Jiaxing.
After the person had gone far away, Li Xiyue went into her spatial dimension and returned to the clinic.
She didn't hear the sound of a cart until she came out of the space to wash up. She smiled, crawled into bed and went to sleep.
The next morning, Wang Jiaxing picked up his luggage and embarked on his journey home.
Before leaving, he handed the money to Huang Xinrui, keeping only enough for his round-trip fare.
Wang Jiaxing and Zhou Yunze didn't mention the terrifying incident from last night, afraid of scaring them, but they couldn't go to the black market anytime soon.
Since Wang Jiaxing wasn't there, Zhou Yunze decided not to go to the black market for the time being, citing that he was alone. Zhou Yunxia made a couple of jokes, but didn't say anything more.
After a busy morning, Li Xiyue sent Xu Baiwei back home, then went inside, closed the door, and took Xiaobai into her spatial dimension.
Feeling craving pig's trotters, Li Xiyue took one of the leftover trotters from the warehouse, cooked it using the one-click cooking function, then went to the orchard to pick a big, bright red apple. Sitting on the swing, she ate it while swinging, thoroughly enjoying herself.
After finishing the big apple and returning home, I found that the pig's trotters were ready. I opened the casserole dish and a fragrant aroma wafted out. I poked it with chopsticks and found that it was already tender and soft.
She placed the food on the table, put on disposable gloves she had bought online, and began to eat.
The pig's trotters are soft, tender, and fragrant—absolutely delicious!
Little White was practically drooling with envy.
Fortunately, the pig's trotters were too big for Li Xiyue to finish, so the rest ended up in the dog's mouth.
At the educated youth settlement, Zhou Yunze and his sister, along with Huang Xinrui, were sitting by the well washing clothes.
Today is the weekend, and school is on holiday, so Huang Xinrui can rest for a day.
When it was Xu Shanshan and Xue Min's turn to cook, the number of people was just right after Tian Lingling left.
But Xue Min still refused to make a move. In the past, Xu Shanshan would have tolerated it, but recently she has learned a lot and does not intend to tolerate it.
I went inside to call for someone and saw Xue Min applying her freckle-removing cream.
"Why are you touching my things?" Xu Shanshan ran over to snatch the ointment back.
This was a gift from Huang Xinrui; she herself was reluctant to use it.
Xue Min dodged, arrogantly saying, "What's wrong with letting me wipe it? Anyway, someone like you doesn't deserve to use such nice things."
She knew the ointment was made by Li Xiyue, and after Xu Shanshan used it, the spots on her face faded considerably.
Li Xiyue's work is excellent; even Zhou Yunze and Huang Xinrui have recently become noticeably fairer.
She saw it all and felt a pang of jealousy.
The ointment is effective, but it's also really expensive; a small box costs more than a dollar, which she couldn't afford, so she thought she'd just use it.
She didn't dare to mess with the other two; they either had boyfriends or brothers.
Only Xu Shanshan is weak and incompetent, and she is all alone. Moreover, she is used to bullying others, so she takes it for granted that what belongs to Xu Shanshan is hers.
"Give it back!" Xu Shanshan glared at her angrily.
Xue Min didn't expect her to dare to talk back. She stood up and cursed, "How dare you, a lowly wretch like you, possess such a good thing? With your face, it's a waste to use it. You might as well give it to me, so as not to waste such a good thing!"
Xu Shanshan clenched her fists, her eyes blazing with tears, "I'll say it again, give it back to me!"
"Oh ho! You dare to glare at me? I won't retaliate. What can you do to me? Let me tell you, my cousin is the vice captain..." Before Xue Min could finish speaking, Xu Shanshan grabbed a stool from the side and hurled it at her.
Her pupils dilated in shock. "Ah!"
Bang!
The stool smashed on his head, and blood flowed freely!
Before she could react, her hair was grabbed forcefully, and she received several hard slaps to the face. She could also hear Xu Shanshan's angry curses, "I'll teach you to take my things! I'll teach you to be so greedy! I'll teach you to not work! I'll teach you to bully people! I'll teach you to threaten me with the deputy captain!"
