Quick Transmigration: Can This Kind of Scum Become the Chosen One?

Chapter 41 My Educated Youth Husband is Gone and Never to Return

"Aren't you bullying us? This is going too far."

It would be great if they ate together; she and Li Min could take turns. When she was tired, Li Min could cook.

Now, wouldn't she have to cook three meals a day? Her brother can't cook, so she'd be the only one who can cook.

Everyone should do their own thing, and no one should take advantage of anyone else. This is the fairest way, and everyone supports Li Min and Zhu Daqiang.

"Zhao Guangming, Zhao Xiu, Li Min and Zhu Daqiang have already said they would eat separately, so you have to return these two big meat buns to them."

Li Min, Zhu Daqiang, would you like meat buns or just cash coupons?

"Captain, then give us money and coupons." After all that commotion, they were so angry they were practically full. They'd already eaten meat buns today, so they weren't thinking about that anymore. They just wanted money and coupons, which was much cleaner.

"Zhao Guangming, Zhao Xiu, return the money and tickets to them," the captain said, taking charge.

"We have no money and no coupons." Zhao Guangming didn't want to give them any. They didn't have much money to begin with, and they didn't have any coupons. They didn't steal the meat buns. If anyone was to blame, it was their own fault for not putting them away properly. They hadn't said they couldn't eat them.

Does the captain mean he wants to become a deadbeat?

"If you can't return these steamed buns, then we'll have to consider it theft and send you back to the commune. Our Yangdu brigade doesn't dare to take in people who steal chickens and dogs like this."

The brigade leader looked serious. These new educated youths had just arrived and were already causing trouble. Was he not able to control them?

Upon hearing the brigade leader's words, Zhao Guangming panicked. If they were accused of petty theft and sent back to the commune, they would surely be sent to even more remote and difficult places.

"Captain, we'll return the money."

Zhao Guangming took out some money and returned it to Li Min and Zhu Daqiang.

Li Min and Zhu Daqiang accepted the money.

"Thank you so much, Captain, for standing up for us today."

The captain had a good impression of Li Min and Zhu Daqiang, and nodded.

"Let's leave it at that. If there's any more trouble in the future, I'll report it to the commune directly."

"Alright, everyone, go home. We all have to go to work this afternoon, and we've all been delayed."

The brigade leader told all the villagers who were watching the commotion to go back home.

After everyone had finished watching the excitement, they all went back to eat.

"Remember to start work tomorrow morning, don't be late," the brigade leader instructed the educated youth.

After everyone left, Li Min and Zhu Daqiang were the first to enter the courtyard.

The two were still hungry, but luckily they listened to what Aunt Liu said and roasted two sweet potatoes in the oven. Now they can have the roasted sweet potatoes to fill their stomachs.

"Zhu Daqiang, eat the sweet potato first. This roasted sweet potato is quite fragrant."

Li Min was in a good mood.

Although the meat buns were eaten, the money and tickets were returned, preventing anyone from taking advantage of the situation.

They also took this opportunity to completely distance themselves from the Zhao siblings.

Zhu Daqiang is a good partner; he's strong and efficient. I think we can successfully plant all the vegetable seeds today.

Li Min is looking forward to starting work tomorrow, hoping things won't get too bad.

Zhu Daqiang was eating the sweet potato, but one sweet potato wasn't enough for him, so he went to his room to get some dried sweet potato.

Zhu Daqiang looked at the dried sweet potatoes, puzzled. Had he really eaten so much? He'd finished more than half of them.

"Li Min, would you like some dried sweet potatoes? My mom made them, and they taste pretty good."

Li Min wasn't full even after eating just one sweet potato. "Thank you."

Li Min tasted the dried sweet potato; it was soft, sticky, and sweet—quite delicious.

"Zhu Daqiang, your dried sweet potatoes are delicious."

"Yeah, I think it's pretty good too, but I ate it a bit too fast, and there's only this much left," Zhu Daqiang said with a hint of regret.

"How about we make some sweet potato chips ourselves? Do you know how to make them?"

“I don’t know how, but I can write to my mom and ask. If I can get the recipe, we can make it ourselves.”

Zhu Daqiang genuinely enjoys eating sweet potatoes, and he would be very happy if he could eat them often. He immediately decided to write home to ask how they were made.

After getting to know Li Min, he felt that she was skillful and had a recipe, so he thought she should be able to make it too.

Zhao Guangming and Zhao Xiu were a little flustered when they saw Zhu Daqiang take the dried sweet potatoes. They were afraid that Zhu Daqiang would find out that they had stolen the dried sweet potatoes and make them return them.

The two listened to the sounds coming from the kitchen, thankfully, they didn't notice anything.

"Zhao Xiu, go to the kitchen and wash that pot. From now on, we'll eat on our own. You'll be in charge of the kitchen, and I'll get some firewood and cook some dishes for dinner."

"I understand, brother."

Zhao Guangming left the educated youth compound.

Zhao Xiu went back to her room. Li Min was still in the kitchen, and she didn't want to go over there.

Zhao Xiu looked in the mirror and tied her hair back up. There were two nail marks on her face. Li Min was really ruthless in a fight, and she had a lot of strength. There were also pinched flesh on her body, which really hurt.

She couldn't beat Li Min. Before, Li Min had been quiet and unassuming, leading her to believe she was a pushover, easy to bully. She never expected that this seemingly harmless woman could choke her so hard she'd vomit; she felt like she was being strangled to death.

Zhao Xiu felt a little scared at the thought of living under the same roof as Li Min in the future, wondering if Li Min would suddenly come and beat her in the middle of the night.

Zhao Xiu quickly moved her bedding to the side closest to the wall.

When Li Min entered the room, Zhao Xiu was startled.

Li Min ignored Zhao Xiu, took a tea mug from the cabinet, and locked the cabinet again.

She locked all her things in the closet.

Li Min and Zhu Daqiang took their teacups and continued planting vegetables in the garden.

Seeing that the two had left, Zhao Xiucai went to the kitchen.

The pot in the kitchen was rusty, so Zhao Xiu filled it with water and washed it.

They didn't have the money to buy new pots, so they had to keep washing them.

She originally wanted Li Min to wash the pots, but now it was her turn.

"Little sister, over here." Jiang He had just finished get off work, and Jiang Tian was already waiting outside.

"Third Brother." Jiang He came out carrying a bag.

He took a piece of hawthorn cake out of his bag and stuffed it into his third brother's mouth.

"Thank you, little sister." Jiang Tian ate the hawthorn cake with a satisfied smile on her face.

He thought his younger sister wouldn't give him anything good to eat today.

My little sister is so nice.

"Little sister, sit down, we're going home."

"Ding-dong, ding-dong," the brother and sister returned home.

"Little sister, the educated youth in the educated youth compound got into a fight today, and it even alarmed the brigade leader."

Jiang Tian couldn't wait to share what happened today with her younger sister.

"Why did they fight?" Jiang He asked in surprise.

Today, Jiang Tian also went to the educated youth compound to see what was going on, and he saw the whole story.

Then, he explained it to Jiang He in detail.

"It's like throwing meat buns to a dog—gone and never to return. Stealing meat buns? Only a dog would do such a thing."

Jiang He was in a good mood after hearing this.

This truth token is a really good thing.

Jiang He had some understanding of this world; there were some things she couldn't touch here, or she might get arrested.
