Quick Wear: The Enchanting Concubine, Rules of Survival and Plunder

When Liu Manman and Ren Pingwei arrived at the village chief's house, the village chief's family was having lunch.

"Why are Liu and Ren, the educated youth, at my house?" Village Chief Liu asked, putting down his bowl and chopsticks. He didn't even call Liu Manman by name, which clearly showed his distant attitude.

If Liu Manman has any shame, she should leave right away.

The problem is, no matter how angry Liu Manman is, she can't just leave: "Uncle..."

"Stop," Hu Laidi interrupted Liu Manman's voice, "Liu Zhiqing, don't try to claim kinship with us. At most, our family and your family are related by the same ancestor across generations. If we're talking about kinship, we're already as distant as can be."

"So please stop calling me 'Uncle'! My old man can't bear the title. After all, our family still has a reputation to maintain. We can't let you ruin our reputation too."

"Auntie, how can you talk like that?" Liu Manman cried again in anger. "Don't forget, my dad has been sending things to your family every year during holidays. Isn't it too much for you to treat me like this?"

"Bang!" Hu Laidi slammed down her bowl and chopsticks. "That's right, your father has indeed sent things to our family during holidays over the years, but has our family not given anything in return? You know, what our family sends to your family is all real food, unlike what your father sends to our family, which is all useless stuff."

“Liu Zhiqing,” Village Chief Liu began, “I will write back to your father and tell him not to send anything to our family anymore. Let’s sever our kinship ties! So, don’t call me Uncle anymore. What you and Ren Zhiqing did to Jiang Zhiqing has already spread throughout the village.”

"As the village chief, I really can't do much to help you. If you truly consider me your uncle, then please understand my difficulties and don't cause me any trouble."

"You...you..." Liu Manman was so angry that she wanted to curse, but Ren Pingwei stopped her.

Then Ren Pingwei looked at Village Chief Liu apologetically and said, "I'm sorry, Village Chief, we've disturbed you. We'll be leaving now."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ren Pingwei pulled Liu Manman away.

"Pah! What a bunch of scum!" Hu Laidi spat on the ground. "I'm going to mop the floor after dinner. These two scumbags have dirtied our floor. Just thinking about it makes me feel uneasy. I have to mop the floor clean no matter what."

"Alright, hurry up and eat!" Village Chief Liu picked up his rice bowl and looked at his children at the table. "What are you all standing there for? Everyone's gone. Haven't you had enough of the show? If you're not going to eat, then put down your bowls and chopsticks and get out of here."

Village Chief Liu's children quickly started eating.

"Ren Pingwei, what are you doing?" Stepping out of Village Chief Liu's house, Liu Manman angrily shook off Ren Pingwei's hand. "Why did you drag me out? I still..."

"Enough!" Ren Pingwei interrupted Liu Manman sharply. "Their attitude has been made so clear. Do you really want to stay and humiliate yourself? Besides, they are the village chief. If we completely offend them, do you think we'll have a good outcome?"

“I…I…” Liu Manman cried again, “Waaah! I can’t take it anymore. It’s one thing for others, but Liu Hongbing is my cousin. How can he be the same as everyone else?”

"He's an ingrate! Liu Hongbing is an ingrate! He's taken so many good things from my family over the years, but he treats me like this now. Doesn't he fear retribution?"

Liu Hongbing is the name of Village Chief Liu.

"Alright," Ren Pingwei rubbed his temples in annoyance, "What's the point of saying all this now? What do you mean by ungrateful? They did give your family a gift in return. To be honest, they don't owe your family anything."

“Manman, if you can’t control your mouth and act impulsively, saying whatever you want and cursing whatever you want, it will only make our situation more difficult.”

"After all, your uncle is the village chief. If he wanted to cause trouble for us, it would be too easy for him. He could just assign us heavy work and it would take half our lives."

"So please, I'm begging you, don't act impulsively anymore, and watch your mouth, okay? I don't want to work myself to death in the countryside. If you want to live a good life and still have the energy to plot against Jiang Chunxi and take revenge, then you have to do as I say."

Liu Manman wanted to refute Ren Pingwei's words, but she also knew that Ren Pingwei was right.

When the two of them returned to the educated youth compound, Jiang Chunxi and the other educated youths were already having lunch.

As for what we ate for lunch?

Sigh! Let's not talk about it. In this day and age, what good food can you get in the countryside? It's good enough to have enough grain to fill your stomach. Who would dare to be picky?

"Oh! So you've come back empty-handed!" Fang Yu was already in a bad mood, and seeing Ren Pingwei and Liu Manman return, he couldn't help but make a few sarcastic remarks. "But then again, with your reputations in the village, how could Village Chief Liu dare to give you a meal?"

"This is called 'you reap what you sow,' so it's best not to do anything immoral, otherwise you'll end up like the rats in the street, hated by everyone."

"Alright, stop talking," Jiang Chunxi said. "You're already hated to death, and if you keep saying this, aren't you afraid of making people hate you even more?"

"I'm not afraid at all!" Fang Yu looked at Liu Manman and Ren Pingwei provocatively. "If they have any guts, then come and kill me right now! But if they don't, then they'd better keep quiet."

"Hmph! Who told them to do such inhuman things and commit so many bad deeds? Since they are born bad, they should be able to endure verbal attacks from others."

In short, you deserve it, just have to suffer!

"Fang Yu, say another word to me and I'll tear your mouth apart right now." Liu Manman wanted to hold back, but Fang Yu's provocation made her unable to tolerate it any longer.

"Oh ho!" Fang Yu laughed in anger, put down his chopsticks and bowl, rolled up his sleeves, put his hands in his pockets, and said, "Come on, let me see how powerful you are, Liu Manman. You even dared to tear my mouth apart. Well then, come here! I want to see who tears whose mouth apart."

Liu Manman was about to rush forward, but Ren Pingwei stopped her again. Then Ren Pingwei looked at Fang Yu with hostility: "Comrade Fang Yu, everything should be done in moderation. After all, to be honest, we have not offended you and have no grudges against you. Do you want to make us mortal enemies for Jiang Chunxi?"
