Chai Jianmin also became more angry, but he did not notice that when he said this, most of the educated youth frowned.
It was obvious that Xu Laidi wanted to frame Cheng Qiao last night, but when Chai Jianmin told the story, he turned black into white and turned the frame-up into concern.
Cheng Qiao narrowed her eyes and looked at Chai Jianmin with a fierce look. In her previous life, apart from Xu Laidi, this man was also the one who bullied her the most.
"Chai Jianmin, it's time to pay back what you owe me."
"You, I don't owe you any money, why should I pay you back?"
"cut… "
There were voices of contempt all around, and Chai Jianmin blushed. Everyone knew whether she owed him or not, but Cheng Qiao was just a fool, and everyone bullied her openly or secretly.
He could only glare at Cheng Qiao fiercely, turned around and ran towards the male educated youth dormitory, but was stopped by Cheng Qiao's cold voice again.
Cheng Qiao stretched out a hand from behind her back, holding a notebook. When Jiang Guangrong saw the notebook, he couldn't help but get nervous. When Cheng Qiao took out the notebook yesterday, he felt that something was wrong, and today it really came true.
"Chai Jianmin, I have been here for almost nine months. In these nine months, you asked me to get soap five times, half a bar each time. Oh, today is the sixth time. Although I didn't get it, I have to remember it.
You asked me to take out rations eleven times. I counted and found that there were three and a half pounds of fine grains and twelve pounds of coarse grains. You asked me to fetch water and boil water twenty-three times for you to drink and take a bath.
You also borrowed from me a half-pound oil coupon and two one-pound grain coupons, totaling three yuan and eighty cents, saying you didn’t have enough to buy a thermos and wanted to exchange them for something else, but you haven’t returned them yet.
Also, when it was your turn to cook, you said you were not feeling well and asked me to cook for you. That was a total of seventeen times, and I wrote it down as well.
I will tell the village chief this afternoon that you are seriously exploiting my labor and food. Your capitalist thinking is terrible. "
“You… you dare!”
Chai Jianmin knew yesterday that Cheng Qiao had a notebook, but he didn't expect the records to be so complete that he even forgot some of them.
"In addition, he threatened and intimidated revolutionary comrades and attempted to suppress educated youth with violence."
Cheng Qiao took out a pen and started recording carefully. The midday sun shone on Cheng Qiao's flawless white face. She was obviously an extremely beautiful girl, but in Chai Jianmin's eyes, she was a devil.
Xu Laidi swallowed his saliva and walked towards the kitchen secretly. Cheng Qiao saw him and said with a smile: "You don't have to cook my meal. I won't be sharing meals with you from today on. Chief, I have already reported this to you."
Jiang Guangrong nodded with difficulty. Cheng Qiao had completely changed. She was no longer the naive girl who tried to please them and swallowed her anger even when she was wronged. It seemed that the educated youth site was really going to become lively.
As expected, Chai Jianmin couldn't help it anymore and shouted, "Cheng Qiao, don't go too far. You gave me those things. Why should I return them?"
"I'm giving it to you. You and I have nothing to do with each other. How could I possibly give it to you? If you want to deny it, just say so. There's no need to be so shameless."
"You... I don't have any money anyway."
"No money, right? It's okay. I can talk to the village chief. At worst, I can pay it back with your cents after the autumn harvest, just like Xu Laidi. I'm not in a hurry."
Chai Jianmin: “…”
Suddenly I regretted being impulsive today, otherwise this fool would never have settled the score with me. But once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back, and it is too late to say anything.
The atmosphere in the courtyard of the educated youth camp became heavy. Cheng Qiao pursed her lips. Her mouth felt dry after talking so much. She was about to go back to the dormitory to drink some water, but Xu Laidi stopped her:
"Cheng Qiao, I'm out of food for today, can you lend me some?"
Xu Laidi came to the kitchen to prepare cooking, but when she saw her empty food bag, she remembered that she had returned all her rations to Cheng Qiao, and she couldn't take out even a grain of rice.
Xu Laidi took a deep breath, rubbed his eyes vigorously with both hands, and then came to Cheng Qiao with a sad look. He looked at Cheng Qiao with a pair of red eyes, and two tears were hanging in the corners of his eyes.
This artificial look made Cheng Qiao feel sick. She must have been a real fool and blind person in her previous life. How could she not even see through such a fake performance
"No, and besides, my grain bag has been weighed. If it's one or two pounds less, it means you stole it. I will definitely report it to the police and have you arrested, you rat."
Xu Laidi looked at Cheng Qiao in amazement. Could it be that this bitch really knew something? Otherwise, she wouldn't be so heartless and turn against him? It seemed that she had to write a letter to report the situation here.
The elder sister of the educated youth, Han Chunmei, smiled. She had always disliked Xu Laidie's teasing look, but she had no choice but to see Cheng Qiao enjoying it, so she could only be angry at him for not fighting back. Unexpectedly, he finally fought back.
"Cheng Qiao, your current rations are enough to get your food distribution. If you want to cook for yourself, just cook for yourself. You can use our pot to cook first. Don't worry about firewood. We will pick it up along the way."
"Thank you, Sister Chunmei. I will go pick it up when my foot is healed."
Cheng Qiao said so, but she knew that she would not be able to live there for long. When the second-rate guy came to propose marriage, she would marry him, and then rest assured and take good care of her pregnancy and raise the child.
"Chai Jianmin, can you lend me some food? I will pay you back after the autumn harvest. No, I will pay you back after my parents send me money."
Xu Laidi looked at Chai Jianmin miserably again. Chai Jianmin wanted to refuse to lend the money, mainly because he had not much food left, and if he calculated carefully, it would be just enough to eat until the autumn harvest.
But when he saw Cheng Qiao looking at him with sarcasm, he couldn't help but straighten his chest and said, "Take it. As long as I have something to eat, you will never starve. Unlike some people, they will watch someone die without helping."
Xu Laidi quickly expressed his gratitude, and amid everyone's confused gazes, he rushed to the kitchen and scooped a large bowl of sorghum noodles from Chai Jianmin's grain bag.
"Chai Jianmin, when the grain is distributed after the autumn harvest, you must pay back all the money and grain you owe to Cheng Qiao. And whoever owes Cheng Qiao should pay it back voluntarily. Don't let the villagers say we are bullying a little girl."
Jiang Guangrong said coldly that if the village chief knew about the tricks of the educated youth point, he would really have to quit his job as the point chief.
The educated youths all looked at each other, wondering if they would ask themselves whether they appeared in Cheng Qiao's notebook later. If they did, they should listen to the longer words and return them all.
Cheng Qiao smiled. There were indeed several people whose accounts were recorded in her account book at this educated youth site. But as long as they did not take the initiative to cause trouble, she would not ask for the debt.
