1970s: Transmigrated into a cannon fodder female supporting character in a lucky koi novel!
Chapter 20 Are there really people this stupid?
Deng Wei and Su Hao exchanged a glance and looked at Guo Caixia with scrutinizing eyes.
However, Guo Caixia was crying so hard that Deng Wei was still somewhat hesitant. He didn't quite believe Guo Caixia's words. Although he hadn't had much contact with Wen Li, he felt that Wen Li shouldn't be that kind of person.
Su Hao and Wen Li had a history of arresting people together on the train, which made him even less inclined to believe that Wen Li was that kind of person. Besides, Guo Caixia's words were vague, yet she dared not say it outright.
Su Hao's eyes darted around, and he asked curiously, "Guo, you mean you broke ties with your family and gave up a job opportunity to accompany Wen, the educated youth, to the countryside?"
When Su Hao asked this question, everyone quickly realized, "Oh right! Is anyone really that foolish? Would anyone really fall out with friends and family and come to the countryside to suffer?"
Seeing everyone looking at her with suspicion, Guo Caixia almost couldn't hold back her sadness. What could she say?
Anyone with a keen eye can easily find out about this, so of course she can't admit it.
Seeing that everyone else was starting to doubt her, Guo Caixia looked sad and tears streamed down her face as she sobbed. Although she didn't admit it, everyone felt that Guo Caixia was indirectly admitting it.
Pan Yong felt even more distressed. "Educated Youth Su and Educated Youth Guo are already so heartbroken, why are you rubbing salt into their wounds?"
Su Hao was completely bewildered. What did he say? All he wanted was a definite answer.
Facing the condemning looks from everyone, Su Hao felt like a million grass mud horses were galloping through his mind.
Guo Caixia achieved her goal, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly, hidden by her hands!
She cleared Wen Li of the stigma of swindling money, and incidentally labeled Wen Li as heartless and disrespectful. Let's see how Wen Li will be able to stand up in the educated youth compound in the future!
Most importantly, she noticed Jiang Chen's expression just now. He had been quite impatient with her before, but just now she caught a glimpse of guilt in his eyes.
It shouldn't be so difficult for her to get close to Jiang Chen in the future!
Thinking of Jiang Chen's handsome face, her cheeks instantly flushed!
Wen Li and the other two were unaware of what had happened in the front yard. After eating steamed egg custard for two days, Wen Li was already craving fragrant rice.
Chen Yan and Qi Jun hadn't eaten much these past two days. When the food was served, the three of them wolfed it down without saying a word.
Wen Li ate two large bowls of rice before stopping her chopsticks. The three of them finished all the food and burped, each clutching their stomachs.
"I never knew that scrambled eggs with tomatoes could taste so good!" Chen Yan wiped the grease from her mouth and leaned back lazily in her chair.
Qi Jun nodded in agreement, "I'll ask Uncle Zhou to come over and build a stove tomorrow. Once we buy a pot, we'll cook for ourselves!"
Chen Yan's eyes lit up. "You've learned to cook?"
"Just practice a few more times, isn't there a Wen educated youth like us?"
Both of them turned their expectant gazes to Wen Li. Wen Li found it amusing and nodded in agreement, "You two can cook with me for the next couple of days. You can start cooking after we buy the groceries!"
"Xiao Li, you're so wonderful, I love you so much!" Chen Yan excitedly hugged Wen Li.
"Ouch! Don't press on my stomach, I'm going to throw up!" Wen Li pushed Chen Yan away in pain.
Chen Yan chuckled and let go of Wen Li. "Hehe, let's go find Uncle Zhou in a bit and ask him to come help build the stove tomorrow!"
Qi Jun quickly offered, "We'll help you with the work these next two days, gathering firewood, and we'll buy the oil and salt we need and restock them!"
Wen Li felt that although Qi Jun didn't talk much, he was very meticulous in his dealings with people, and it would be very comfortable to get along with him without much trouble.
"no problem!"
-
"What? You're going to fire separately too?" Chen Jiahao looked at Qi Jun and Chen Yan, his voice rising several octaves.
Qi Jun hadn't expected Chen Jiahao to react so strongly. "Yes, could you please calculate how much of our quota we used these past two days, and we'll make up for it?"
Chen Jiahao wanted to persuade her further, "Well... don't you guys not know how to cook? If you cook alone, you'll have to collect firewood after work, and then come back to cook. That way, you'll be busy until very late before you can rest. It would be much easier if everyone cooked together!"
"I think cooking is quite simple, and we're not used to eating communal meals, so it's better to cook for ourselves!"
Qi Jun's tone was firm. Chen Jiahao tried to persuade him for a while, but Qi Jun remained unmoved. In the end, he had no choice but to return the grain to the two men with a dark face.
"You ate three meals at the youth center. We grew the vegetables ourselves, so we won't charge you for them. However, we did use oil, salt, and firewood. Just give me 50 cents!"
Chen Yan didn't have much of a concept of money, but Qi Jun had been poor when he was a child. With just a drop of oil they used when cooking, plus the fact that Chen Yan didn't eat much, and their own food, they probably didn't even spend two cents on three meals. Chen Jiahao, on the other hand, dared to ask for money.
Qi Jun didn't want to argue with him, so in front of everyone, he handed the money to Chen Jiahao.
"We're even!"
After saying that, he picked up his and Chen Yan's food and left the kitchen. After putting the food away, he went to find Uncle Zhou.
Wen Li and Chen Yan went out through the back door and then digested their food in the surrounding area. There was a small river behind the educated youth compound, and since it was hot, many adults and children were playing in the river.
Wen Li and Chen Yan found it interesting after watching for a while, until their stomachs weren't so bloated anymore, and then they went back to the educated youth compound. They would start working tomorrow. After returning to her room, Wen Li took out old newspapers and started pasting them on the walls.
With Chen Yan and Qi Jun's help, the newspapers were quickly pasted on the wall, making the whole room much brighter.
Just as the three of them were about to help Chen Yan put up the stickers in her room, they saw Su Hao from across the hall looking at Wen Li with a hesitant expression.
Wen Li looked at Su Hao with a puzzled expression. "Su Zhiqing, did you look for me?"
Su Hao thought for a moment and felt that Wen Li couldn't possibly be the kind of person Guo Caixia described. He was just about to tell Wen Li what had just happened in the front yard when Yu Shuang spoke first.
"Su Hao, what are you doing? Do you want to get involved with someone like her? Have you been bewitched by her face too?"
Yu Shuang had long disliked Wen Li's aloof attitude, and she still held a grudge against her for slapping her before!
Su Hao had known her for several years, but he was siding with outsiders, which made her even more unhappy.
Su Hao's face darkened, and his gaze towards Yu Shuang changed. He had tolerated her before because of her cousin, but now she was going too far.
"Yu Shuang, it's none of your business how I handle things."
Yu Shuang had never seen Su Hao with such an expression before. Her heart skipped a beat, but then she thought of her cousin and became confident again.
"You...you believe I'll write to my cousin and tell her you're bullying me!"
Su Hao's momentum instantly weakened when he thought of the girl he liked!
"Don't go too far!"
Having seized control of Su Hao, Yu Shuang became even more arrogant, "Don't forget what you promised my cousin when we left!"
"These are two different things!" Su Hao's tone was even more uncertain.
