Chapter 360 - 360 Take Medicine
After Yu Yan thought about it, she felt that either her adoptive brother had changed his mind and didn’t want to send her money, so he found an excuse to lie to her, or her adoptive brother and Cui Jin had lied to her together. If it was the latter, Cui Jin must have said something bad about her!
Yu Yan hung up and walked out of the post office. She recalled that the first time Cui Jin saw her, he wasn’t like this at all!
Yu Yan recalled that everything had changed since Jiang Chun hooked up with Cui Jin. Cui Jin’s change definitely had something to do with Yu Bing. Who didn’t know that Jiang Chun and Yu Bing were close?
Yu Yan clenched her fists and gritted her teeth. “Yu Bing! It’s you again!”
Yu Yan had no choice but to think of another way. Unexpectedly, when she returned to the village, she saw Yu Bing and Xiao Sheng chatting intimately.
The more Yu Bing smiled, the more hatred Yu Yan felt!
Last time, because Yu Bing had taken leave to go home, Yu Yan had change her plans. In addition, this time, Yu Bing even urged Cui Jin not to let her adoptive brother give her money!
However, Yu Yan didn’t have the time to deal with Yu Bing yet. Her parents were in a hurry to gather money for her brother, so she had to settle this matter first before dealing with Yu Bing.
Now, she couldn’t contact her adoptive brother, and there were probably no intellectuals who could fork out 50 yuan. After Yu Yan thought about it, she decided that the fastest way was to borrow money from the village committee.
After Yu Yan arrived at the village committee, she knocked on the open office door. Mr. Wei was checking the accounts and shouted without looking up, “Please come in.”
Yu Yan walked in with a smile and exchanged pleasantries. “Mr. Wei, you seem busy.”
Mr. Wei looked up. “Yu Yan, what’s the matter?”
Yu Yan replied with a smile, “I want to borrow 50 yuan.”
Mr. Wei frowned at Yu Yan. “You just borrowed 50 yuan this month, but you haven’t even returned your work points yet.”
Yu Yan smiled apologetically and said, “There’s still half a year left, so I’ll work hard in the second half of the year. When my parents send me money next month, I’ll return five yuan every month.”
If everyone said that, why would he need to do accounting? There would already be a bunch of debt already. “No, your work points in the first half of the year are only about 30 yuan if they’re exchanged for money. In the second half of the year, you’ll only be able to earn 50 yuan at most. I was already very lenient to lend you 50 yuan last time.”
Seeing Mr. Wei’s firm attitude, Yu Yan could only stomp her feet angrily and leave.
When she returned to the dormitory and saw the other intellectuals, Yu Yan’s heart skipped a beat. If borrowing from one person couldn’t get her 50 yuan, she could borrow from five people.
Borrowing money wasn’t a glorious thing, and Yu Yan didn’t want too many people to know, so she planned to borrow it from well-behaved people who didn’t talk that much.
In the small courtyard at the foot of the mountain, Yu Bing brewed a bowl of cold tea after dinner. She even found some herbs that were not very bitter. After brewing them, she went to the Xiao family’s house.
“Sister Yu Bing.”
“Yu Bing”
The two little fellows shouted louder than the other, as if they were competing. Yu Bing smiled and replied to them one by one.
After Yu Bing walked to Xiao Sheng, who was reading under the eaves of the corridor, she pulled out a small stool from the side and sat down. “Drink it quickly.”
Xiao Sheng frowned at the black herbal tea. Then, he moved to the side silently and distanced himself from the medicine bowl. “Yu Bing, I’m really fine.”
This side of Xiao Sheng made Yu Bing feel for the first time that he was quite childish and she advised patiently, “I specifically chose a less bitter version. You’ll know after taking a sip.”
Xiao Sheng was afraid that Yu Bing would be angry if he rejected her again, but he really didn’t want to drink it. He could only frown and look at Yu Bing with a long face, in hopes that she could tell that he was very resistant.
When Yu Bing saw Xiao Sheng’s pitiful appearance, her heart softened. However, when she thought of his nosebleed today, she felt that she couldn’t indulge him.
Yu Bing coaxed Xiao Sheng with a smile, “I prepared fruit candy for you. You can squeeze your nose and finish it in two mouthfuls. Then, I’ll put the candy in your mouth immediately. Believe me, you’ll only taste sweetness.”
When the sound of suppressed laughter came from beside him, Xiao Sheng didn’t need to look to know that it was Xiao Li and Xiao Lin. Thinking that his dignity as a big brother couldn’t be ruined, he made up his mind, closed his eyes, and drank it in one go.
