The Delicate Darling with Her Rough Man-Chapter 114 - 113: Infuriating Mei
The smile on Li Hongmei’s face instantly froze.
"Heh, Jiaojiao, I don’t have the money yet."
Gu Jiaojiao looked her up and down, then scoffed.
"Those shoes on your feet are new, aren’t they? You don’t have money to pay me back, but you have money for new shoes."
"Besides, didn’t the village just distribute grain? And you’re telling me you don’t have money?"
"Cut the crap and pay up. Otherwise, I’m going to the brigade office right now to use the loudspeaker. I’ll call everyone over to judge who’s in the right!"
Li Hongmei hadn’t expected Gu Jiaojiao to be so ruthless. Her face turned green.
It was just a matter of two yuan.
If Gu Jiaojiao really broadcasted this to everyone, her reputation would be ruined.
Li Hongmei was furious.
’This damned woman. All she talks about is money, money, money. Has she not seen money in several lifetimes?’
She gritted her teeth in hatred, but she was also afraid Gu Jiaojiao would actually go get people, so she reluctantly took out two yuan.
’Just wait. In a moment, when I go inside, if I find even the slightest trace of pork, I’ll broadcast it immediately.’
’Then Gu Jiaojiao will be the one crying.’
Thinking of this outcome, Li Hongmei handed over the two yuan much more readily.
After paying, she put on a smile. "Jiaojiao, I came today to..."
Gu Jiaojiao took the money, counted it, and then nodded. "Two yuan, exactly. I was overly frightened yesterday, so I’m not receiving guests today. You can go home now!"
With that, she started to close the door.
Li Hongmei hurriedly spoke up, "Wait, I actually..."
Hearing this, Gu Jiaojiao opened the door again, and a flash of delight crossed Li Hongmei’s face.
Then she heard Gu Jiaojiao’s earnest and heartfelt words.
"You know, you’re already dark-skinned, and after Qiushou, you’re basically a piece of charcoal. When you smile, all anyone sees are your big white teeth. I’d advise you not to go out at night. And if you do, don’t smile, or you might get beaten up."
After speaking, the main door slammed shut with a BANG, and Gu Jiaojiao returned to her room, her face expressionless.
Li Hongmei stood frozen in place, staring at the door with a murderous expression.
Upon entering the room, Gu Jiaojiao immediately burst into a fit of bell-like laughter.
Hahaha!
’That was hilarious.’
’With Li Hongmei’s shitty personality, how could she not know what the other woman was thinking?’
’Didn’t she just want to come and see if there was any meat in the house?’
Leng Yuan had deliberately cleaned up that morning; there was absolutely no way he would have left any clues.
Gu Jiaojiao had also prepared for this move, so she had a plan long ago.
Even if Li Hongmei came in to inspect it herself, she absolutely wouldn’t find a single thing wrong.
But she couldn’t be bothered to deal with a petty person like Li Hongmei.
’Might as well just send her away.’
After all, people could only be suspicious. Without evidence, they couldn’t do anything to them.
Having failed to gain any advantage and losing two yuan on top of that, Li Hongmei’s steps were much heavier on her way back to the educated youth dormitory.
She was wrong. She never should have gone looking for that menace, Gu Jiaojiao.
The first time, she’d ruined her plan.
The second time, she’d swiped her fifty-cent bracelet.
The third time, she’d taken her two yuan.
Gu Jiaojiao was simply her nemesis.
Li Hongmei cursed Gu Jiaojiao’s eighteen generations of ancestors in her heart, feeling completely dejected.
She returned to the educated youth dormitory.
The first thing she saw was Xu Wenwan and Yun Hao in the courtyard, ’chatting and laughing cheerfully.’ Xu Wenwan was shy and timid, while Yun Hao was doting and gentle.
At that moment, Li Hongmei’s anger reached its absolute peak.
’That shameless vixen, always running to the educated youth dormitory. She has no sense of shame at all.’
Li Hongmei slammed her back-basket on the ground with a loud CLANG.
Ever since she had shifted her target to Yun Hao, Xu Wenwan had become her ’love rival.’
The two in the courtyard were startled and turned to look at the entrance at the same time.
Xu Wenwan sized up the dark, skinny person before her, a flicker of disdain flashing in her eyes.
Yun Hao, however, feeling obligated by their shared status as educated youths, greeted her.
When Li Hongmei saw Yun Hao looking at her, she immediately flashed a brilliant smile.
"Yun... Educated Youth Yun, I have some good news for you. I just got back from Gu Jiaojiao’s place. She’s changed so much now and even said she wants to live a good life with Leng Yuan!"
