Chapter 35
The director announced, “Breakfast is different, and the corresponding tasks are also different. For example, if you want to get a bowl of plain porridge, you have to go to the backyard to pick 50 cabbages. However, if you want to add a portion of pickled vegetables, not only do you have to pick 50 cabbages, but you also have to sell ten of them. If you want soy milk and fried dough sticks, that’s another task.”
In short, if you wanted to eat breakfast, you had to work. To put it nicely, if you wanted to get something, you had to work hard.
At this moment, Zhou Xue suddenly asked, “May I ask if the production team bought breakfast outside or made it with the pot in the courtyard?”
The director immediately guessed what Zhou Xue meant, but he deliberately said, “Most of them were bought, but many of them are cold. When you eat later, you have to heat them up with a pot.”
Hearing this, Zhou Xue revealed a troubled expression. She looked at Yue Xin and made a determined expression. “I saw Xinxin cooking something not too clean in the pot yesterday. The pot might need to be cleaned before it can be used.”
After Zhou Xue finished speaking, Li Xing immediately asked, “What did she cook that wasn’t too clean?”
Zhou Xue said gently, “It’s just some animal fur. I wanted to remind Xinxin, but when I saw it, she had already put the fur in. I was afraid of scaring her, so I didn’t say anything. However, that pot definitely can’t be used to heat up food.
When Zhao Lei heard those words, he suddenly retched. Zhou Xue immediately ran over with a worried expression. “What’s wrong? Are you alright? Why did you suddenly vomit like this?”
Li Xing added, “Little Lei seemed to be the first to wake up. When he washed up, he used that pot to boil water.”
When Zhou Xue heard this, she covered her mouth in surprise. “Oh my god!”
Zhao Lei kept vomiting, but Yue Xin did not explain. She had heard the loophole in Zhou Xue’s words. After she finished cooking, she left a note in the pot. It was written very clearly that she had used this pot to cook dog fur and one should not use it. If Zhou Xue saw her using this pot to cook something, and even insisted that she was cooking animal fur, it meant that Zhou Xue had approached this pot. However, while she was cooking the fur, she had been observing the kitchen, and no one had approached at all. In other words, Zhou Xue had only come after she finished cooking the fur. However, at that time, she had already placed a note in the pot, and when she went to take a look this morning, the note in the pot had already disappeared. According to the depth of the pot and the location of the kitchen, even if it rained heavily at night, the note would not be blown away. It could only have been taken away by someone. Yue Xin originally did not know who took it, but she was now certain that it was Zhou Xue. Zhou Xue had approached this pot, seen the note, and taken it away. Moreover, she looked certain that no one else knew. It must have been after she placed the note in the pot, Zhou Xue immediately went over to take the note. Yue Xin did not know why Zhou Xue did this. Sometimes, she did not need to know.
Zhou Xue was now certain that Zhao Lei did not know, so she deliberately fanned the flames. However, the production team knew that Yue Xin had asked the production team to change the pot early in the morning, so there was no problem using this pot to boil water.
Yue Xin stood beside Yue Lingfeng with a calm expression. Yue Lingfeng glanced at Yue Xin, who was not anxious at all. He suddenly felt that perhaps he had not been home for too long. His sister seemed to be much tougher than he remembered. He opened his mouth to probe, “You’re quite calm. You made such a big mistake. Do you want me to help you take all the blame?”
When Yue Xin heard Yue Lingfeng’s words, she didn’t say anything. She just glanced at him and ran to Han Wen’s side to watch the show.
Yue Lingfeng, who had been ignored was speechless. Fine! For the sake of his big brother, he would not argue with her. However, he would definitely not protect this little thing in this matter!
Han Wen, on the other hand, welcomed Yue Xin very much. He lowered his head and started gossiping with her. “Hey! Did you offend that woman? Why does she always bite you?” Han Wen looked like he was watching a good show and had no intention of worrying about Yue Xin.
Yue Xin didn’t answer, but she also felt that Zhou Xue was a little too much. Could she not leave her in peace?
On the other side, Zhao Lei had finally finished vomiting. Zhou Xue comforted Zhao Lei while looking helplessly at Yue Lingfeng. Yue Lingfeng ignored her and looked at Li Xing.
Li Xing immediately took the bait and shouted at Yue Xin, “Why didn’t you tell us that you secretly cooked dirty things in a pot? Look at how Little Lei vomited because of you!” After saying that, he looked at Yue Lingfeng and said ambiguously, “Brother Yue, you can’t spoil the child too much. Sometimes you have to let her know that she’s wrong.”
Yue Linfeng yawned and turned around. “Why? You want to convict her with just one side of the story again? Have you asked Yue Xin?”
[Yeah, I really can’t stand these two people. I clearly saw the note Yue Xin wrote yesterday with my own eyes. Does this woman have eyes? She just spouted nonsense!]
