pain welled up in his heart.It feels like something is being let go of.He gritted his back teeth and clenched his fists: “Since...it's good that Ning Zhiqing wasn't bullied, I have work to do. I'll be...Ning Yuan looked at her: "If there's only one five-yuan bill left in your box, it's mine!"
Tang Yan was extremely angry and took out five dollars from the cookie tin: "Ning Yuan, you're talking nonsense! This five dollars for the big steelmaking campaign is mine. Do you have that much money!"
This five-dollar bill printed with the image of the Great Steelworks, she kept it specially in a box. Her usual loose change of a few cents and dimes, she kept those on her person.
If she hadn't trusted those roommates who only fawned over her, she wouldn't have left her box unlocked.
Who would have thought that this little shadow, Ning Yuan, would actually turn things upside down!
Ning Yuan smiled faintly: "My family can send me longevity biscuits and big white rabbit milk candies, of course I have living expenses."
This statement instantly left everyone stunned, and they began to whisper amongst themselves.
"That's right, it wouldn't be surprising if Ning Yuan's family sent her such high-end cookies and candies; five yuan wouldn't even cover it."
"Who stole from whom"
The educated youths lived, ate, and worked in the village without spending any money. But each month, their families would give them two or three yuan as a living allowance to buy things like soap, matches, salt, etc.
Five dollars is quite a bit.
Huang Xueming was also a bit dumbfounded. He subconsciously pointed at Ning Yuan and imitated Rong Zhaonan's tone just now: "Words without evidence are worthless! Do you have any proof"
Tang Zhenzhen also sneered, waving the five-yuan bill in her face: "That's right, do you have any evidence Or will you call it, and it will agree to you You, who hang out with bad guys..."
Before she could finish her words, Ning Yuan seized the opportunity and snatched the money waving in front of her face.
Tang Zhenzhen was both shocked and angry: "You dare to rob..."
The next moment, Ning Yuan held the money and said to everyone: "Look closely, there's my name on these five dollars. I wrote it because I was afraid of losing them!"
Everyone's eyes instantly focused on the five yuan in Ning Yuan's hand.
As expected, the pattern in the bottom right corner of the five-dollar bill printed with the image of a steelworker reads "Ningyuan".
Everyone was stunned. This money really "agreed" to Ning Yuan's request!
The villagers' eyes, even when looking at Huang Xuerhong and Qin Xiaoxia, became strange.
"So this money really belongs to the Young Pioneers!"
"Isn't this like the thief crying 'thief' The evidence is in other people's hands, and you have none of your own, yet you accuse others of stealing from you..."
The male educated youths were also stunned by this strange reversal, looking at each other in disbelief. Their own team's beloved flower turned out to have such a bad character
Tang Yan's face flushed red and then white, she reached out to grab it: "How is that possible When did you write your name on my money!"
Ning Yuan immediately took a step back and coldly threw the previous sentence back: “You dare to rob!”
Tang Yan's face flushed red with anger as she reached out and continued to grab her: "Give it back to me! That's my money! My money!!"
Li extended his hand and grabbed her shoulder, his face grave and grim—
"Tang Zhiqing, have you had enough Randomly accusing and smearing someone is a crime!"
Tang Zhenzhen saw the disdain in Li Yan's eyes, her delicate face flushed red, her chest heaving.
She desperately wanted to scream—You bunch of idiots, she's the one who framed me! The money is mine, it's mine!!
But the looks from those around her, even Qin Xiaoxia who grabbed her arm.
Tang Jiani's tears came down instantly, and she choked back her words with a sob: "Li Yan... Li Fushuji... I understand. Perhaps I got it wrong. My five yuan is in Tan Xiaoxia's study book."
Qin Xiaoxia felt Tang Zhenzhen's fingers pinching her arm, it hurt so much she gasped and could only nod: "Yes, yes, yes... I remember. There are five dollars of Zhenzhen in my study book."
This excuse is so lame.
But... this matter has become a big deal. For the young people who hoped to return to their hometown, it is not good news.
Li Yan glanced at Ning Yuan, then at Tang Zhenzhen who was crying. "Return the money to Ning Zhiqing and apologize for the misunderstanding. The brigade can treat you as a first-time offender and not record it."
Tang ZaiZai's fingertips were digging into her palms, almost to the point of bleeding. But she knew she couldn't...couldn't collapse right then and there, nor could she snatch the five yuan back from Ning Yuan's hands.
She gave Ning Yuan a smile that was uglier than crying: "Ning Yuan, I'm sorry... Can you forgive me"
Ning Yuan looked at her calmly: "Be a good person, and don't have any ulterior motives, or you'll end up losing everything."
This morning, when she took away the cookies and candy, she guessed that Tang Zhenzhen wouldn't just let it go.
So, she discreetly wrote her name on an inconspicuous spot on the five-dollar bill.
After she was done, she turned and went back to the little hut beside the cow shed.
Tang Zhenzhen heard the sarcasm in her words, wishing she could rush up and slap Hua Ningyuan's face.
But then Qin Xiaoxia pulled her back, she gritted her teeth, turned around and covered her face before hurriedly running away.
Huang Xuehong watched Tang Zhenzhen run away, unwillingly muttering: "Ning Yuan splashed me with dirty water..."
"Secretary Li, that... let me take Xuerhong to take a bath first!" Qin Xiaoxiao smiled at Li Yandeng and dragged the stench-covered Huang Xuerhong away.
All the parties involved have left, Li Yan glanced at the other young intellectuals and villagers who came to watch the commotion: “Everyone, disperse.”
The squad leader spoke, and everyone looked at each other, whispering about the matter while dispersing.
Li Yan looked at Rong Zhaonan, his face cold and hard, and said: "Treat Ning Zhiqing well, don't bully or oppress women, study the leader's thought well, the team will check your ideological transformation situation at any time!"
Róng Zhāonán lowered his icy and deep eyes, letting out a light sneer: "Yes..."
The key point of this young deputy secretary's words is - to treat the Ning Zhiqing well, otherwise, their ideological transformation will be insufficient
The little agent is quite charming and resourceful, very good at deceiving people.
Li Yan looked at Ning Yuan, his expression softened a lot: "Ning Zhiqing, Bai Yi came from the commune this afternoon, she should be here to deliver your living expenses. She is waiting for you in the production team's office."
Bai Yi is Ning Yuan's aunt, living in the neighboring township. Though they belong to different villages, they are both under the same commune administration. Bai Yi also played a role in bringing them together.
Ning Yuan stiffened at the mention of her aunt's name, her heart pounding erratically as she nodded. "Okay."
Li Yan nodded, taking Ning Yuan to prepare to leave, as if Rong Zhao Nan didn't exist at all.
Rong Zhaonan watched them walk away with several red-armored guards.
Ning Yuan's great aunt
He pushed his old black-rimmed glasses up his nose coldly and silently followed after him.
This is a chance to find out what your so-called 'wife' is really like, isn't it
......
Ning Yuan followed Li Yan and the other person silently.
Li Yan wanted to ask her why, even though they had been getting along for days and had agreed to become a couple after meeting again, she was now changing her mind.
Yet, I felt that saying anything seemed pointless. Besides, there were other people here.
Ning Yuan had no desire to pay attention to Li Yan. She knew that her aunt must have come over as soon as she heard that she was married.
Her mother was merely cold towards her, but her aunt was strict and demanded strict adherence to rules.
When she was little, no one at home had time to take care of her. Every summer and winter vacation, they would send her to her aunt's house as a laborer.
She was responsible for doing chores under her aunt's command, but even if a few drops of dishwater got on the sink and weren't wiped up, or she spoke a little too loudly.
He had to be scolded loudly - unruly, write a reflection, no food, and be beaten with a frown.
But her mother thought it was a way to teach her manners, and even considered giving her up for adoption to her childless aunt. It was only because her current father saw how badly she was crying that he refused.
This time when she went to the countryside, her mother said she was lucky, with relatives to look after her, so she gave all the living allowance she had been given to her aunt.
If you want to get 2.50 dollars a month for living expenses, you have to work as a laborer at your aunt's place.
Then, he continued to be punished frequently.
Therefore, she had always been afraid of this aunt who claimed to be her second mother in her previous life. She was almost like a shadow over her childhood.
Unless she absolutely had to go for living expenses, she would rather stay at the educated youth point than go to her aunt's oppressive home.
In her previous life, the only thing her aunt had ever done that she was grateful for was introducing Li Yan as a potential partner.
Later I found out, after they started dating, my aunt's two sons - her eldest cousin - were transferred to work at the commune.
After she and Li Yan got their marriage license, her little cousin successfully obtained a military draft quota from their hometown.
This is all forced by Li Yan's aunt.
And Li Yan began to bother her from then on, feeling that this was not good for him. He was an honest person and rarely acted in his family's self-interest.
As a result, he later adamantly refused to help her get transferred out of the silk weaving factory where she worked three shifts and stood for ten hours a day.
Even if she suffered miscarriages several times because of overwork, he still thought it was honorable labor—deserved.
He owes her and her family nothing.
Ning Yuan pulled the corner of her lips without expression.
She suddenly got married this lifetime, completely ruining her domineering aunt's plans. What would the aunt do
In her heart, there was a secret, exhilarating feeling of relief.
Even, I really want to see my aunt's furious expression.
Rong Zhaonan quietly blended into the shadows of the trees, observing Ning Yuan's expression with a thoughtful look in his eyes.ox of Longevity Cookies, one bag of White Rabbit Creamy Candy.
