Chapter 8

glasses, hiding his eyes. "Let me help you pack your things. Your belongings are scattered"By the way, check what's in her luggage. Last night she hid something away, I don't know what.As soon as she...Ning Yuan heard this and her small round face stiffened slightly: "Doctor Rong, you're joking, aren't you Li Shugi and I are just ordinary friends. It wouldn't be right to trouble him like that. You've overthought things."

Rong Zhaonan looked at Ning Yuan, faintly saying, "Is that so"

The little agent definitely has secrets, he didn't tell the truth.

Ning Yuan didn't want to be entangled by past emotions anymore.

She wiped her face haphazardly with the back of her hand. "Forget about that, Dr. Rong. Old Zhishu promised to get us some old furniture, we have to go to the warehouse in the village school's old classroom."

Rong Zhaonan looked at the cart she dragged over and raised an eyebrow: "Alright, let's go."

He wants to see just how long this little spy can keep up the act.

There, Rong Zhaonan pulled the cart and Ning Yuan together to the old classroom of the village school.

Tang Zhenzhen returned to the educated youth point with a head full of questions.

Before she even reached the yard, she saw two male youths carrying a person on a stretcher. He had a bruised face, a swollen head covered with a bloody bandage, and was walking back.

"Oh dear, Jianhua, you need to be more careful next time! Don't roll off the riverbank again!"

"That's it, your head is busted, your ribs are cracked, you need to recuperate, and you can't earn work points!"

Two male educated youths chattered and complained.

Tang Zhenzhen looked at the patient on the stretcher with astonishment and anger. It wasn't Wang Jianhua, who was it

She told him this morning that she had left the educated youth point and was going to live in the cow shed.

After the cattle were driven down to pasture in the morning, no one passed by the cattle shed. As long as he ambushed Ning Yuan there, he could make that bitch a real slut.

Is Wang Jianhua such a loser Could Ning Yuan, who is so petite, beat him like that

Wang Jianhua also saw Tang Zhenzhen, Huang Xueming and Qin Xiaoxiao.

He glared at Tang Zhenzhen, awkwardly turning his head away, but still clutching the wound on his head.

He gritted his teeth in pain and exclaimed, “Ouch! Be more careful when you guys are carrying me!”

Two male educated youths quickly lightened their movements and carried Wang Jianhua to the educated youths' dormitory.

Huang Xuěhóng, seeing this, muttered while counting on his fingers: “Wang Jianhua is injured and on sick leave. His work points for one day are only 3. We have to work harder to make up for him, or else at the end of the year, with fewer work points, we will all be dragged down…”

At the end of the year, the food rations for the young intellectuals' team were calculated collectively.

Tang Yanjan rolled her eyes inwardly, but a helpless smile appeared on her face: "Alright, let's go. We'll have to get some food for him later, after all, he's one of our own."

She has to ask that fool Wang Jianhua what the heck happened.

Huang Xuehong shook her head and sighed, "Zhenzhen, you're such a kind person."

Three female educated youths entered the room one after another.

As soon as Tang Zhenzhen entered the room, she commanded Qin Xiaoxia: "Xiaoxia, don't you still have some oil tea sent from home Get some oil tea, let's go see Wang Jianhua together."

Qin Xiaoxia's face turned bad.

She is from Guibe, she was sent here, and the fried tea her family sent her, she herself couldn't bear to eat.

Huang Xuerhong's eyes lit up: "Yes, Tan Xiaoxiao, bring some out. We are all like-minded people, don't be stingy like a capitalist! We'll give you scallions, ginger, and garlic!"

Qin Xiaoxia took something out, and they could also share a little.

Qin Xiaoxia was being watched by them, so she had to reluctantly take an old cookie tin from her box.

He carefully took out some fried rice and earth tea from inside.

She reluctantly said, “I don’t have meat bone soup. This beaten tea isn't good without meat bone soup.”

Tang Jiejie smiled generously and said, "I have red sugar in my box. I'll take some red sugar to make oil tea and stir-fry rice."

Huang Xuezhong immediately went to help Tang Zhenzhen pull out the box, saying: "Tang Zhenzhen is really generous."

Kao Tang Zhenzhen immediately sensed something was wrong as soon as she opened the box.

Her cookie jar has been moved.

She opened it and saw that besides the five dollars, which were untouched, the whole pack of cookies and candy was gone!

“My white rabbit candy and century egg cookies!!” Tang Zhenzhen’s eyes went dark.

The evergreen cream onion cookies and the big white rabbit milk candy are both high-end, in-demand goods in Shanghai. People from other provinces need to have tickets to buy them, and even those with money and tickets in the countryside can't get their hands on them.

"It must have been Ning Yuan who stole my things!" Tang Zhenzhen's face was contorted with anger.

She was so reluctant to eat that package of cookies, after she got her hands on them, she only ate one a week!

That shameless little slut not only flirts with people she likes, but also steals from her!

Huang Xuehong also frowned and said indignantly, "She was corrupted as soon as she got close to that reformed criminal. Now she's become a thief!"

Qin Xiaoxia was just forced to take something out, and now she muttered softly: "Those cookies and candies must be from Ning Yuan's family, right"

But where would she dare to speak up

Huang Xuehong indignantly said, “Precious, let’s go to the village committee and report her. Thieves should be publicly shamed!”

After a sporting event, it's still customary in the countryside to parade thieves through the streets as a public spectacle. Knowing this, young educated youths would also make a record of it.

Tang Zhenzhen gritted her teeth and stood up: "I heard that Deputy Secretary Li Yan came, let's go find him to be the arbiter!"

She will definitely not let Ning Yuan go, today she's going to force Li Yan to handle Ning Yuan with his own hands.

......

Ning Yuan and Rong Zhaonan swapped for an entire afternoon, finally dragging a cart full of “junk” from the abandoned storage room at the village elementary school back to their small hut in the cow shed.

She was holding a big stack of old newspapers, watching Rong Zhaonan effortlessly pull a large cart filled with broken furniture—a rickety cabinet, a battered table, and some rotten stools—past her.

"What great strength..." Ning Yuan muttered softly.

This person looks thin and tall, like a weak scholar who can't even eat enough. Yet, he has so much strength.

Rong Zhaonan pushed the handcart in front of the house and pressed down on his black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose: "Now, are we bringing things into the house"

Ning Yuan shook her head. "Let's cover the windows with paper and fix the roof first. These pieces of furniture need to be disassembled, repaired, and reassembled before we can use them. The space inside is too small; there's no room to move around."

Rong Zhaonan watched Ning Yuan carry the newspaper into the room, and then he came out and skillfully took out the repair tools he had borrowed from the village committee.

He narrowed his eyes. "Can you fix it"

Ning Yuan rolled up her sleeves and nodded, "A little bit, I'll fix it later."

Rong Zhaonan: "You're pretty bold..."

He was speaking when suddenly, he sharply raised his eyes to look at the path leading to the cow shed. A cold light of alert flashed in his eyes: “Someone’s coming.”

Ning Yuan just happened to see that he was as cold and sharp as a blade, her breath catching involuntarily.

But the next moment, Rong Zhaonan lowered his head and stood behind her, instantly becoming that taciturn and insignificant weak scholar again.

Ning Yuan almost suspected she was hallucinating. Before she could react, she heard footsteps.

She looked down the little path.

Indeed, Tang Zhenzhen, Li Yan, Huang Xuerhong, Qin Xiaoxia, and even several red-sleeved workers and some villagers who came to watch the commotion followed.

Ning Yuan's delicate brows furrowed: "So you've all come together."

Li Yan actually hung out with Tang Zhenzhen and her group of people.

Wong Hak-hung has always been Tang Ching-ching's loyal follower. When he saw the furniture on the cart beside Ning Yuan from afar, he immediately shouted out—

"See, I told you she was a thief! She's not only stealing things from us educated youths, but also from the team! Didn't you see that desk and chair "

Li Yan said nothing, just walked closer and looked at the things in the car.

Although they are all bad, they are indeed office furniture.

Seeing the red armband, the villagers started whispering among themselves.

Tang Zhenzhen looked at all those things, a sneer in her heart. What a thief!

A helpless expression crossed her face: "Oh, Ning Yuan, how could you start stealing public property from the team and be with bad people You're going to be imprisoned."

Ning Yuan looked at them with bewilderment: "What are you talking about These things are all old office furniture I borrowed from the team. Old Branch Secretary even has a written record of it, and I promised to repair them and return them later!"

Some villagers who came to watch the commotion also spoke up: “This morning, we really saw Lai, the accountant, go to the village primary school warehouse with Ning Yuan.”

Li Yan instantly felt relieved and looked at Tang Zhenzhen: "I told you, Ning Yuan is not that kind of person."

Tang Zhenzhen choked and said with a wronged face: "I also heard Xuehong say that, misunderstanding."

Huang Xuehong met Li Yan's gaze, his round face reddened. He instinctively scolded Ning Yuan, "That...that wasn't because you stole Zhenzhen's money and belongings, we would have misunderstood you!"

Ning Yuan suddenly snatched the big water pail beside her and splashed a bucket of stinking water, smeared with cow dung, directly onto Huang Xuerhong's fat, black face.

That's Rong Zhaonan's morning, he hasn't had time to clean up the brushes yet. against the cart and suddenly said, “Whoever claims it, they must provide evidence. Now that she has provided hers, it’s your turn to produce yours. Do you have any What markings are on that jade chi...
