Chapter 182 Asking alone
Looking at the few extra coins in her hand, Li Meifen was speechless for a moment.
Su Wanwan...why should I give her a share of the money?
"Yesterday we found out that you were also part of the hunting that Lan Ying and the others went up the mountain to hunt, and you were frightened, so you should get a part of the money." After explaining lightly, Su Wanwan walked back to the group who were eating, and exchanged glances with Xu Yan.
"Um... I... I've finished eating. Don't worry, I didn't see anything just now. I won't tell anyone that you were secretly making braised meat..." Bai Luwei, who had eaten a full teacup of braised meat, burped and reached out to wipe the oil from the corner of his mouth.
"It's almost time. If you go back any later, you'll be late." Xu Yan answered casually.
"You...you guys are planning to bring other people over to eat?"
As soon as Bai Luwei's figure disappeared, Lan Ying, who was standing opposite Su Wanwan, spoke in an uncertain tone.
"What's wrong with eating some of your braised meat? You can't sell these things anyway. Isn't it better for people to eat them than for them to rot?" Li Meifen said sarcastically.
"Don't worry, apart from Bai Luwei, we don't know anyone else in Baihua Village." After giving Lan Ying a reassuring answer, Su Wanwan put away the lunch box and walked out of the cabin.
Behind him, Xu Yan quickly followed.
"This is your share of the money." After giving it to Li Meifen, Su Wanwan took out half of the remaining one hundred yuan.
"Just keep it for yourself."
The next three or four days were a rare period of peace for Su Wanwan during her exchange career.
Not only did Baihua Village stop making things difficult for them, but even the two time bombs, Li Meifen and Lan Ying, were much more stable than before.
On the morning of the day when the exchange ended, Su Wanwan packed all her luggage and stood far away on the roadside, waiting with Xu Yan and others for the ox cart to pick them up.
"You all performed quite well during the exchange in Baihua Village. Apart from a few bad incidents, it was a good experience for you."
The village party secretary, who had not appeared for a long time, came early in the morning to see him off.
Su Wanwan endured the gust of wind that was blowing like a knife and put on a mask of fake smile.
"Especially this young comrade, your surname is Su, right?" After saying the above sentence with a smile, the village party secretary suddenly turned his gaze and looked at Su Wanwan more kindly.
"You have performed particularly well during this period. You are a role model among all the exchange youths. I will write all of this down in the report later."
The village party secretary's blatant praise made it hard for Su Wanwan not to think of her father, the village chief.
As Baihua Village was quite far from their own village, in the early morning, after everyone had finished their meal in the wind and filled their lunch boxes with food, they boarded the ox cart for the return journey.
"Why do you look unhappy?"
Bai Luwei, who had been eating meat with them for several days, had been happier day by day, and was smiling from ear to ear almost every day. But this morning, he was in the wrong role.
"Alas, you don't know." Bai Luwei sighed as he spoke: "Just yesterday afternoon, their village completed the autumn harvest."
Su Wanwan: “…”
"I came at the right time. The first day I arrived was during their autumn harvest. They finished their work the day before I left, so the heaviest work fell on my shoulders."
Bai Luwei felt more and more aggrieved as he spoke, looking up at the sky in silence, "If I have to go back to the village to harvest the crops, I'll be exhausted to death."
"Think about it more positively. The exchange is over anyway." Su Wanwan spoke without any pain in her waist while standing. She casually said something to Bai Luwei, then turned to look at Li Meifen who was sitting in the front right side of the ox cart.
In the courtyard where they first lived, they didn't know Lan Ying yet, let alone the business Lan Ying and others were doing behind the scenes. Li Meifen could ask questions about the villagers' speculation, which made it hard for Su Wanwan not to be afraid.
In addition, Li Meifen now knows Xu Yan. After returning to the village, it goes without saying that she will be like Zhong Qingqing and revolve around Xu Yan every day.
If she accidentally discovered the business he was doing with Xu Yan, the consequences would be extremely unpredictable.
Su Wanwan was already troubled enough with Zhong Qingqing before, and now with the addition of Li Meifen, Su Wanwan feels overwhelmed just thinking about it.
The oxcart was moving slowly on the road just like when it came. Bai Luwei, who finally had some free time, complained for a while and then snored loudly on the oxcart.
Su Wanwan, who was exposed to the midday sun, gradually felt tired and slept intermittently all the way. It was not until dark that they saw the shadow of the village in the distance.
Su Wanwan could already imagine in her mind what her mother would look like when she saw her return home. Although she was still a little sleepy, she couldn't fall asleep no matter what. Her longing for her mother and father made her almost want to jump off the ox cart and run straight home.
"Don't rush home. Go to the village party secretary and report the situation first before going back." The man driving the ox cart in front gave a timely reminder, and Su Wanwan gave up the idea of running straight home.
"Hey, you've only been out on exchange for a few days, why are you back? Were you chased back?"
The oxcart had just reached the entrance of the village. There were almost no people on the road. Only Yan Wenming was standing on the side of the road like a street urchin, sneering at the people on the cart.
"If you don't have the ability to go out and exchange, you should first learn to shut your mouth." Bai Luwei, who had slept all day, glanced at Yan Wenming lazily.
Maybe he was afraid of Bai Luwei, but Yan Wenming fell silent after being looked at by him.
The ox cart soon arrived at the door of the village party secretary's office.
Before getting off the ox cart, Su Wanwan saw Secretary Wang walking quickly out of the house.
And his father Su Yang, who was jogging over from not far away.
"Dad, Secretary Wang, I miss you so much!" Su Wanwan said as she ran to her father.
She clearly didn't miss her family that much when she was in Baihua Village, but once she got on the ox cart on the way back, it felt like the days were passing by like years.
"Silly girl, it's only been a few days!" Father Su Yang said this, but his eyes were a little blurry.
The young people followed him into Secretary Wang’s office and gave a brief report on their work and activities during the half-month exchange in Baihua Village.
During this time, Secretary Wang specifically asked Li Meifen to stay and question her alone.
As Su Wanwan and the others were walking out, they vaguely heard a sound similar to a scolding coming from the office and exchanged glances with each other.
It is understandable that the news of the fight between Li Meifen and Lan Ying must have spread back to the village, and the person who beat the other person was from their village.
Secretary Wang must take this matter seriously.
"Are you hungry?" After all, her father still had to work and couldn't take her home. Su Wanwan, Xu Yan and Bai Luwei walked out of the village party secretary's office side by side.
Since Bai Luwei lived in the exact opposite direction to Su Wanwan and the others, he walked towards the back of the house after leaving the office.
Only Su Wanwan and the other person were left walking side by side.
"Are you hungry?" Xu Yan looked at Su Wanwan with amusement.
