Educated Youth in the Countryside: She is the Village's Embroidery Queen!-Chapter 128: The Patsy

"Okay."

Wu Yongfei agreed readily, after all, he didn’t have to provide the eggs, so there was no reason not to.

Guan Mingyue looked delighted.

The two of them stared at each other.

After a while, Wu Yongfei couldn’t hold back and stretched out his hand towards her, "Hand over the eggs!"

Without the eggs, what was he supposed to cook?

Guan Mingyue... so it turns out she had to provide the eggs herself.

She suddenly looked awkward, "I don’t have eggs, can I borrow one for now and return it later?"

Normally that would be fine, since Guan Mingyue had money and tickets.

But her luck was bad, as she hit a rough patch.

"We don’t have eggs."

They said confidently, decisively.

And with an air of pride.

Guan Mingyue couldn’t believe it, "You all don’t have eggs?"

Yi Chichi and the others nodded, yes, they didn’t have eggs.

"Then, I won’t eat it. I’ll send a telegram to my mom tomorrow, asking her to send me more money and tickets to buy eggs, and I’ll cover all your eggs in the future."

With the girl’s grandeur, they all felt they had to protect her, not letting her be harmed by Yan Wanwan and Ning Haitao.

"I’ll cook you some noodles today, and tomorrow you can eat with us."

With that, Wu Yongfei energetically cooked her a bowl of noodles adorned with green vegetables and a touch of lard.

"It smells so good!"

Guan Mingyue held the bowl, took a deep sniff of the fragrant grain aroma from the noodles, and began to eat.

"Tastes even better!"

Her eyes welled up with tears as she exclaimed, "Since I’ve been here, I’ve finally eaten something normal and incredibly delicious."

Recalling the previous meals, she said angrily, "Even a dog wouldn’t eat the food Yan Wanwan cooked!"

Yi Chichi and the others stayed silent.

"Why aren’t you saying anything?"

They didn’t know what to say.

It’s not like they could remind her that if even a dog wouldn’t eat Yan Wanwan’s cooking, then by having eaten it for months, was she worse than a dog?

That would be an insult.

So, they could only stay silent.

"I’m really insightful!"

Not sure where she saw the insight.

"Your insight... in what way?"

Zhang Yunhao couldn’t hold back his curiosity and looked at her.

Guan Mingyue was silent for two seconds, "I’ve finally seen the true colors of Yan Wanwan and the others, and I’ve chosen to partner with you guys, isn’t that insightful?!"

As she spoke, she sounded more and more justified, feeling that her insight and heroism were second to none.

She added, "Just wait, once I get the money back from them, I’ll treat you to some big meat!"

It’s probably not that easy, Yan Wanwan and the others’ expenses are also quite high.

It seemed they didn’t have money or tickets at hand.

And indeed, after the meal, Guan Mingyue went boldly and confidently like a loan shark to collect the debt.

Yi Chichi and the others didn’t join in the fun, but in just a few minutes, the sound of chaos could be heard.

Then—

"You think it’s fun to treat me like an idiot?!"

Guan Mingyue’s voice came, followed by the sound of two slaps.

Yi Chichi and the others looked at each other.

Zhou Qiuyu whispered, "Someone got slapped!"

It was quite obvious.

"Should we go and intervene?!"

They all shook their heads, there’s no need to intervene, it’s clear that Guan Mingyue hasn’t suffered a loss!

"I didn’t, we’ve grown up together since childhood, you know me the best..."

The scream came along with the slapping sounds.

Yi Chichi and the others, overhearing with pricked ears, covered their faces in unison, feeling the pain on their own faces.

"Ning Zhiqing, aren’t you going to intervene?"

At this moment, Bai Chen’s voice, filled with confusion, came.

Yi Chichi and the others exchanged a glance and got up all at once, heading to the doorway to look at Guan Mingyue’s room, where they saw Ning Haitao pacing like an ant on a hot pan.

His expression was anxious, rubbing his hands incessantly, but his mouth seemed glued shut, not uttering a single word.

Bai Chen and the others stood at the door, looking at him with evident displeasure.

Seeing Yi Chichi and the others come out, Ning Haitao’s face turned beet red as he called into the room, "Hey, Xiao Yue..."

"Get lost!"

The still-wrestling Guan Mingyue shouted at him, causing Yi Chichi and the others to see Ning Haitao shudder all over, a look of fear on his face, yet his mouth wouldn’t admit defeat.

"Xiao Yue, you shouldn’t..."

"I told you to get lost, can’t you understand human language?!"

Before the words were finished, Yi Chichi and the others saw Guan Mingyue rush out like a gust of wind and then—

"Whoa!"

Yi Chichi’s eyes widened.

"Oh my!"

Wang Nan’s mouth hung open.

"She’s out of control!"

Bai Chen and the others silently clamped their legs together, watching helplessly as Guan Mingyue’s long leg swiftly targeted Ning Haitao’s vital area.

"Ow!"

A gut-wrenching scream came from Ning Haitao’s mouth as his eyes widened, slowly lowering his hands to cover his vital area.

"You... "

Just as he began to speak, Guan Mingyue slapped him on the face.

It was a hard slap, causing Ning Haitao, already in unbearable pain, to collapse, curling up like a shrimp, his hands still clutching that certain area.

His face turned ash white, a thin layer of sweat breaking out on his face.

Bai Chen and the others stepped back silently, joining Yi Chichi and the others in watching as Guan Mingyue dragged Yan Wanwan out after defeating Ning Haitao, tossing the person onto Ning Haitao.

The two clung together, trembling, eyes filled with terror as they watched Guan Mingyue, "You..."

"Shut up!"

Not wanting to hear their nonsense, Guan Mingyue interrupted them, rolling up her sleeves and clenching her fist, looking down at them, "Are you going to repay the money?!"

"...we, we don’t have money!"

The two stammered, feeling as if they were facing a demon king.

Yi Chichi and the others exchanged a glance, feeling the character collapse of these three was truly absurd.

However, it wasn’t their issue.

They were just there to watch the show.

Yi Chichi took out some sunflower seeds, which Wang Nan immediately reached for.

Generously, she shared half of them, and Ge Sujuan and the others extended their hands as well.

Having no choice, she went back to her room to fetch the remaining sunflower seeds, cracking them with her buddies as they watched the spectacle.

"Did you two seriously scam over five hundred bucks from me, only to tell me now you have no money?"

Her peripheral vision catching the actions of Yi Chichi and the others, Guan Mingyue laughed in anger, squatting down and patting their faces, not using much force, but with immense indignity.

Instantly, tears brimmed in Yan Wanwan’s eyes, and Ning Haitao, with a face full of humiliation, stubbornly said, "You know, me and Wan Mei’s family’s conditions aren’t as good as yours, the money all went to supporting the family."

"So, in other words, Guan, the sucker, is single-handedly supporting your two families?"

Yi Chichi couldn’t hold her feelings back and asked.

The two stayed silent, and now it was Guan Mingyue’s face that turned beet red.

Without having realized it before, the term ’sucker’ really suited her.

She chuckled, "So, in your eyes, I’m just a sucker."

Before the words were finished, she lashed out with another slap for each of them.

"I’m done wasting words with you, just answer: are you going to repay the money?"

As she spoke, her hand was raised again.
