Educated Youth in the Countryside: She is the Village's Embroidery Queen!-Chapter 129: Looking Down on Others

"We’ll pay you back!"

Ning Haitao was trembling all over in fear, shouting at the top of his lungs.

Yan Wanwan wasn’t having it, "I don’t have any money to pay back..."

Guan Mingyue, who was addicted to slapping, had already swollen Yan Wanwan’s face and then pressed Ning Haitao down for a round of beating, leaving him howling in agony.

Yan Wanwan huddled aside, hugging her skinny self, trembling.

Zhou Qiuyu was a bit puzzled, "Why don’t the two of them fight back?"

Can’t one person deal with two people either?

Yet these two just took the blows without any resistance, really a situation she couldn’t understand.

Yi Chichi and the others were also puzzled, but Guan Mingyue was currently on a beating spree, so they couldn’t ask, and had to quietly watch the spectacle.

In their hearts, they silently prayed: Ning Haitao, Yan Wanwan, you two must have some backbone, don’t easily succumb to Guan Mingyue’s physical prowess.

However, the harsh reality told them that there’s nothing a good beating can’t solve.

If there is, it’s because the beating was too light, so there should be two rounds.

If two rounds don’t work, there’s still three, or four...

Anyway, Guan Mingyue, who relies on relentless pounding, managed to retrieve the debt note from the two.

As well as the things the two of them purchased with her money and coupons, like dresses, cotton coats, pens, watches, and so on.

Looking at the pile of stuff she brought back, Wang Nan picked up the watch and asked, "What brand is this? I haven’t seen it before?"

Yi Chichi glanced over, "Plum Blossom brand, imported from Europe."

"How much?"

"With coupons, about three or four hundred, sold only at the Friendship Store."

Upon hearing this, Wang Nan and the others looked at Guan Mingyue as if she were a fool.

"What exactly do you see in Ning Zhiqing?"

If it weren’t for the fact that she’s not their daughter, knowing she spent so much on a man, they’d probably break her legs.

If it were worth it, maybe.

The problem is that Ning Zhiqing isn’t remarkable in height, looks, or character.

Guan Mingyue’s face turned red, and she stammered, "Pro-probably got smeared with shit."

As she spoke, she held up the watch and asked, "Do you want it? If you do, I’ll give you a discount."

"No!"

The few of them quickly waved their hands.

Wang Nan and the others couldn’t afford it, while Yi Chichi already had a watch and didn’t need it.

Besides, it was a men’s watch.

"You can ask Old Bai and the others."

"Then I’ll go ask."

Then she called Bai Chen and the others over and asked if they wanted the watch.

"The one Ning Zhiqing returned to you?"

Bai Chen and the others’ eyes lit up.

"Yes."

She nodded and handed the watch to them, "You can take a look; it’s in good condition."

Indeed, it was quite good; watches aren’t cheap to begin with.

Especially an imported watch; Ning Haitao cherished it so much, not even a scratch.

The dial was wiped shiny.

It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say it’s new.

After looking at it, Bai Chen and the others were tempted.

"How much?"

Guan Mingyue thought for a moment, "150, no coupons needed."

Bai Chen and the others were more tempted, but after feeling their pockets, a chill went from their tailbone straight to their heads.

Their empty wallets made their desires fade away, leaving them with a transcendental detachment from worldly concerns.

"We’re broke, can’t afford it!"

Ever the honest Bai Chen returned the watch, "You’d better send it back to your family, or find someone else to sell it to."

They couldn’t afford it.

Though Guan Mingyue had been prepared for this, she couldn’t help but sigh in disappointment, it seemed the watch would have to be dealt with elsewhere.

"You can look at the clothes, pens, and other things; take anything you need."

Pointing at the pile of stuff on the bed, she added, "Everything’s for sale at a low price."

There wasn’t much hope for the expensive watch, but the other things could still be considered.

Instantly, Bai Chen and the others began rummaging for useful items.

Wang Nan and the others did the same.

Only Yi Chichi sat there unmoved, watching them converse and pick.

Guan Mingyue saw her not moving and persuaded her to pick a few items.

Yi Chichi clutched her pocket tightly, "I don’t need anything."

She wasn’t interested in Yan Wanwan’s items, no matter how good they were.

"You can give them as gifts."

Guan Mingyue said earnestly, Yi Chichi’s forehead was full of black lines, "Giving second-hand goods as gifts, how could you think of that."

Although in these times, people didn’t mind the newness or oldness due to poverty, she couldn’t do such a thing.

If she were to give gifts, she’d rather give half a pound of brown sugar or a yard of cloth than buy second-hand goods to give.

It wouldn’t look good at all!

Seeing her determined attitude, Guan Mingyue had to give up and put her hopes on Wang Nan and the others.

However, due to poverty, unsuitable sizes, and other issues, from the pile of things retrieved from Yan Wanwan and Ning Haitao, she only managed to sell two pairs of Warrior shoes.

One pair went to Qi Yang and the other to Ge Sujuan, eight to nine-tenths new, three yuan each.

No coupons needed, much cheaper than buying new ones.

Then Bai Chen bought a pen, and Wu Yongfei took a pair of dark blue pants from Ning Haitao.

Everything else was left unwanted.

Guan Mingyue was persistent, "Aren’t you going to pick anything else?"

"There’s nothing suitable; we can’t pick anything."

Wang Nan genuinely wanted to buy Yan Wanwan’s clothes, but Yan Wanwan was a full head shorter than her.

There was also a bone structure difference that made the already small clothes unalterable.

She could only give up and painstakingly save cloth coupons to buy cloth and make clothes.

In the end, Guan Mingyue could only pack the rest of the things into boxes, muttering bad luck.

She couldn’t throw them away, they were bought with her money and coupons.

After paying, Bai Chen and the others walked off with their newly acquired goods, and after watching her bustle about, Wang Nan and the others confirmed again after a brief silence, "Are you really going to stay with us?"

"Well, Chichi doesn’t want to live with me either."

Guan Mingyue cast a plaintive look at Yi Chichi.

She snorted, "Don’t get any ideas about me."

Back then, it was to prevent this that she chose the smallest room.

She’s not used to sharing a bed with someone, nor does she want her personal space to be invaded by outsiders.

Furthermore, "My room has a small bed, it can’t fit two people."

Guan Mingyue sighed, "See, I can only stay with you guys."

Ge Sujuan touched her nose and sincerely said, "Actually, you could continue living with Yan Wanwan, she can’t beat you anyway."

"I’m afraid she’ll stab me in the middle of the night."

Talking about Yan Wanwan put Guan Mingyue in a bad mood, sighing long and hard, "I’ve known her since childhood, didn’t think much of it before, but now looking back, how scheming she was, thinking about it now still scares me."

These words left Yi Chichi and the others without a response, since they didn’t interact much with Yan Wanwan.

Before Guan Mingyue joined, the three of them were a clique, where the new and old youth corps of the courtyard typically didn’t interfere with each other.

Nonetheless, "Didn’t your family advise you not to hang out with them?"

Yi Chichi couldn’t hide her curiosity and pressed her, Guan Mingyue guiltily touched her nose, "They did, but my brain was like it was smeared with shit and didn’t listen, even blamed my parents for judging people like dogs!!"
