Chapter 70: Jiaojiao is spoiled by the rough man

Chapter 178 No One Speaks

She was afraid that the news of her hard time in Baihua Village would be passed back home, which made her very worried. She also wondered whether all the situations in Baihua Village would be reported to her own village.

If Dad knew the actual situation here, he would not feel at ease even if he didn't mention it to Mom.

"So, what is your intention? You think I am hiding something from you. I knew that Lan Ying and the others were secretly engaged in speculative business but I didn't tell you. Now you are arranging matters between me and the deputy captain. What are you planning? Do you think that as long as you drive me away, you will conquer Xu Yan?" Li Meifen asked with a frown, her voice deliberately lowered, revealing her vigilance.

Su Wanwan's expression remained unchanged upon hearing this, but she felt helpless. It seemed that Li Meifen's usual cleverness was mostly used for guessing and suspicion.

"I just hope you can avoid people who don't pay attention to you and don't delay the happiness that truly belongs to you." After a moment of silence, Su Wanwan said lightly.

This sentence seemed to be a blow to Li Meifen, and her face was slightly stunned.

She couldn't believe that Su Wanwan would respond to her like this. She couldn't help laughing and even lost her composure: "Do you think I will believe this excuse? It's just that Captain Feng cares about me more usually, so you think these are so outrageous?" Realizing that she had said too much, Su Wanwan stopped talking.

Inside the house, Lan Ying, who had already collected two hundred yuan, held a thick stack of banknotes in one hand, lowered her head and faced Wang E, counting them over and over again.

"Is the situation this afternoon really so critical?" Wang E asked in a low voice while the two of them took turns counting the money.

As she had no free time the whole day, Wang E missed Lan Ying and the others' collective action, and only knew about her afternoon's situation indirectly.

"What else can I do? Count the money carefully and don't make any mistakes..."

That incident made Lan Ying experience unspeakable fear, so she decided to give up her plan of selling braised food for the time being.

"If another 'Li Meifen' appears and follows us closely, then the next time Xu Yan is not around, should the people who are caught just accept their fate?" She had always believed that as the decision maker of the business, others should obey orders. However, she did not expect that the hunting helper was actually the most secretive existence.

Sometimes Lan Ying didn't react quickly enough, but she would always reflect on it afterward. She was unwilling to take the possible risk.

"Listen carefully, Xu Yan is not only interested in you. You have seen his car and money. Rich people will never lack Zhong Qingqing or people like you. When they get tired of you, they will naturally change to another target. Don't deceive yourself, you are not the only one without me." Not knowing what nerve Su Wanwan touched, Li Meifen kept complaining like a machine gun, emphasizing that she and Xu Yan were not a match at all.

Su Wanwan was not angry, but smiled: "How can you be so sure that I am not worthy?" After looking at Li Meifen with interest, she realized that the other party was not making sense, so she turned around quietly and returned to the room where the fire was still on.

The stove was against the head of the kang and connected to the pipes at the bottom, so that she could feel warmth when she sat on the edge of the kang.

"These two hundred dollars...I'll give it to you."

Seeing Su Wanwan enter the room, Lan Ying, who had been counting money more than ten times, quickly handed her a bundle of slightly wrinkled bills.

"Do as agreed. I'll pay the two hundred yuan, and there won't be any more trouble." Although she had already paid two hundred yuan, Lan Ying still couldn't raise her eyes when she spoke. Her strong attitude was gone. After that afternoon, Su Wanwan naturally became the most respected member of the dormitory.

"Well, I'll take it." Su Wanwan answered lightly, then held the money and calculated the total amount in her mind.

Su Wanwan understood that Lan Ying was frightened by what happened in the afternoon, and she thought that she would not dare to play tricks with the money bundle, so she was too lazy to count them one by one, and just put them into her waist pocket.

"Let's put it this way... We have all seen with our own eyes that these bills are now in your hands. You are not allowed to cheat. When you return to your village, please do not mention this to anyone."

Li Meifen still had some concerns in her heart. She didn't dare to look directly at Su Wanwan, but she was reluctant to look away.

"Don't worry, I will definitely do what I say." Su Wanwan glanced at her sideways and turned to the stove to warm herself by the fire.

Wang E and Li Meifen wanted to say something, but they found that Su Wanwan did not leave them any space to respond. Wang E was especially unclear about the details beforehand and did not know how to start asking.

There was a slightly awkward silence for a moment. Everyone in the dormitory went to their bunks to rest, and no one spoke.

The next morning, the weather was fine, and Su Wanwan felt refreshed after getting up. Wang E, who was supposed to get up early to prepare the marinade, was still lazily leaning on the kang, slightly opening her eyes and looking at Su Wanwan.

I guess Lan Ying has already informed me not to do this anymore. Even though she has woken up according to past rules, she still hasn't taken any action.

Su Wanwan did not respond to Wang E's gaze. Amid the noisy snoring, she calmly got up, washed and combed her hair, took a handful of noodles from the pot beside the stove, and threw them into the boiling pot.

Most young people start their day's work after eating breakfast in a hurry. Some people miss breakfast because they get up late or are too sleepy. They simply skip breakfast and wait until lunch.

Since the exchange with Baihua Village, Su Wanwan usually skipped breakfast, until today when she felt a dull pain in her stomach and became aware of it. She quickly made herself a bowl of hot noodles and found a piece of pickled vegetable from the grocery locker in the dormitory.

"The prey that the young man hunted last night almost injured Li Meifen by mistake, right?" Wang E finished cleaning up, hesitated for a moment, and sat down next to Su Wanwan's chair silently. The blurred vision of the noodle soup made her vision unclear.

"What else could I do? Didn't you see how scared Lan Ying was?" Su Wanwan took a sip of soup with satisfaction. She was so focused on warming her stomach that she didn't notice Wang E's questioning look.

"Yeah." Wang E nodded slightly, put on her lunch box, and took out a steamed bun with five grains from her bag.

"Wait." Seeing Wang E preparing to go out to work, Su Wanwan quickly stopped her and asked, "Where did this steamed bun come from?"

"This is..." Wang E touched the cold and hard steamed bun in her hand in confusion.

"After dinner in the cafeteria, you can ask them to take a few steamed buns home for breakfast the next day."

"Didn't the person in charge of conveying the situation to everyone tell you these things?" Hearing this, Su Wanwan's tone was slightly surprised.

Looking at Wang E's sincere eyes, Su Wanwan suddenly laughed: "Do you really think that the production team that assigned us the difficult task would share this information with us without reservation?"

"I have to leave. Time is running out." Wang E quickly left the dormitory. Lan Ying and Li Meifen in the room were also gradually waking up.

One advantage of working in the village clinic is that when others go to work in the production team, they can lie in bed leisurely for a while.
