Educated Youth in the Countryside: She is the Village's Embroidery Queen!-Chapter 124: Decreased Merit

Her tears were falling in streams, and when Yi Chichi saw her like this, her hand paused from organizing the needle box, then she gently comforted, "Don’t be afraid, your condition is fine."

Guan Mingyue looked up, her eyes soaked in tears as she looked at her, "I-I have no money."

"You have no money?"

Yi Chichi couldn’t believe it, how could she have no money?

The second day this girl arrived, she almost emptied out the supply and marketing cooperative.

She left in the morning empty-handed, and by evening Grandpa Liu’s ox cart was piled to the brim.

According to Xiao Cao and the others who went along, she spent nearly two hundred yuan in one day.

Yi Chichi couldn’t figure out how she spent so much, anyway, she didn’t see her buying anything big.

A few days later, she felt that the room was inconvenient without a cabinet, so she went to Liu Laoqi’s house and bought a wardrobe, brick bed cabinet, boxes, and other furniture.

Spending so aggressively upfront, and now telling her she’s got no money, the whole thing seems a bit like magic.

"No money."

She wiped away her tears, "It was all spent by Tao."

Yi Chichi’s eyes widened suddenly, "Ning Haitao, the educated youth?!"

"Mhmm!"

Yi Chichi suddenly felt a toothache, she held her cheek staring at Guan Mingyue for a long time, wondering how such a seemingly shrewd girl could act so foolishly as to leave herself without any money for medical treatment.

"Can you lend me some?"

She looked pitifully at Yi Chichi, "I’ll pay you back when my family sends me money."

"No!"

Her money could be lent to Zhou Qiuyu, to Wang Nan, even Bai Chen and Wu Yongfei, but definitely not to Guan Mingyue.

It wasn’t that she was worried Guan Mingyue couldn’t pay it back, rather this girl gave her the impression of being typically clueless.

Ning Haitao was already with Yan Wanwan, so what’s the point of this girl still spending on him?

She wanted to ask, but a rumbling sound came through.

Followed immediately by Uncle Yaozi’s voice, "Chichi, help the educated youth Guan to the hospital."

"Okay!"

Regardless of whether she’s clueless or not, first send the person to the hospital.

Acupuncture could only relieve temporary pain; if there’s an internal problem, it must be resolved, otherwise, an appendix rupture is even more tormenting.

Thus, after responding, Yi Chichi quickly removed the needles, then lifted Guan Mingyue up, "Hurry to the hospital."

"Oh."

A matter concerning her own body, Guan Mingyue couldn’t care less about borrowing money, she got up under Yi Chichi’s urging and held her stomach boarding the tractor.

The team leader’s face was like water, "Yaozi, you bring money and come with me, Miss Yi doesn’t have to come."

"Alright."

Yi Chichi was more than happy to agree, she didn’t want to go to the hospital to take care of Guan Mingyue.

Uncle Yaozi had no objections to this, he dashed back to grab the money and climbed into the tractor’s dray, "We can go."

He didn’t forget to remind Yi Chichi, "When Da Li comes back, don’t forget to cook the fish in the basin for it to eat."

"... Okay."

Yi Chichi’s face was streaming with tears, cooking fish meant she had to kill fish, it felt like her karma points were about to decrease again.

Well, so be it.

Who made Da Li the boss here anyway.

Around three in the afternoon, Yi Chichi was busy packing herbs.

Bang!

She immediately looked toward the backyard, her face then changed dramatically, "My herbs!"

Before she could finish speaking, she dashed outside.

Liu Lan and the rest, ... it must be Da Li causing trouble again.

It loved to use the yard wall and the back door, disliked using the front door, and had overturned Uncle Yaozi’s herbs lying out in the sun many times.

"Shall we go and check it out?"

Yu Qingqing proposed with a smile.

Liu Lan and the others exchanged glances, deciding they should.

"Let’s go!"

Just as they got up, a sharp popping noise came through.

"Ahhhhh, Da Li you’re really my ancestor, I #@%...&&**..."

Listening to her abusive outburst, Liu Lan and the others looked at each other baffled.

What on earth did Da Li do to anger Yi Chichi to this extent?

A strong curiosity pushed them to quicken their pace.

Meanwhile, Yi Chichi looking at the chaotic backyard, felt like she was going insane.

Uncle Yaozi’s precious Da Li didn’t come back empty-minded and empty-handed, but with a gift.

A four to five-pound long creature.

The snake’s head was bitten till the flesh was blurry, and its body covered in wounds, still twitching constantly.

It seemed not quite dead.

Right now it was twitching amidst the pile of herbs.

Several dustpans were flipped over, with the herbs scattered all over the ground.

Da Li sat right amidst the herbs staring at the long creature, and if its twitching was significant, it pounced on it with a paw.

With a swish, several blood traces appeared.

"Oh, Da Li, what a skill, actually brought back such a big creature."

Aunt Ma jogged over to see the fun, and immediately noticed the twitching creature.

Yi Chichi hadn’t yet reacted to what happened when a figure flashed past her like the wind.

Soon, the creature was picked up by a hand.

"Roughly five pounds, dead."

Before her sentence ended, the snake was presented in front of Yi Chichi, "Child, skin it and stew it once Uncle Yaozi gets back."

"Wait till Uncle Yaozi comes back to handle it."

She wouldn’t kill a snake, let alone skin it, which was a demanding high-standard task.

Being not afraid was already her limit, skinning was absolutely not happening, not in this lifetime.

So she opened up a bag, "Aunt, put it in here and wait for Uncle to come back."

"Alright!"

Nobody dared to say shameless things like asking for a share of Da Li’s game.

They’d be beaten by Da Li.

As the two interacted, Da Li watched them intently, only pulling back its gaze after Yi Chichi tied the sack’s opening and set it aside, then mewled towards her.

"Hungry?"

Da Li, understanding human nature, responded with a bark, then licked its lips.

It was obvious, it was time for food.

"Should I cook you some fish or do you want it raw?"

"Raw."

Aunt Ma answered for Da Li, and since it didn’t make a sound, Yi Chichi assumed it consented.

Told it to wait, and then she went to the kitchen to bring out the basin filled with fish.

Seven or eight palm-sized crucian carp were swimming happily in the basin, full of vitality, looking rather delicious as well.

Da Li’s pupils immediately expanded, a low growl emerged from its throat.

Yi Chichi was about to pick one for it, just as her hand reached out, a furry paw tapped her hand.

"Meow!"

It looked at Yi Chichi dissatisfied.

Great, this ancestor wanted to snatch it itself.

"Alright, go ahead!"

She withdrew her hand, stepped back, and gestured invitingly.

Liu Xiaocao was curious, "It understands?"

"Yes!"

Before the words were out, Da Li moved.

With a swish, all they saw was a slender black shadow flash by like a meteor, and a crucian carp was scooped out onto the ground, pinned down by Da Li.

Then it opened its mouth and started eating heartily.

Judging by the deliciousness of the fresh fish, it couldn’t stop purring.

Seeing that Da Li could fend for itself, Yi Chichi sighed, first picking up and placing the fallen dustpans back, then gathering up the herbs.

"Chichi, shall we help you!"

"Alright."

She nodded, reminding, "Be careful gathering them, don’t mix the herbs, it affects the medicinal properties and won’t fetch a good price when we sell to the procurement station."
