Chapter 70: Jiaojiao is spoiled by the rough man

“This is about my own business!”

Lan Ying was about to lose her patience, but Li Meifen in front of her was still playing with the lipstick in her hand with a playful smile on her face.

After understanding the whole story, the young women around began to whisper to each other even more enthusiastically.

People in Huafan Village have always had a bad feeling towards Lan Ying. Just as Deputy Captain Feng said, whenever there is something big or small happening in the village, she is always the first to arrive and plays the role of spreading gossip.

In addition, Lan Ying was keen on commenting on other people's private affairs. Even if a young person was slightly late, she would say that he was absent from work intentionally. As a result, the villagers gradually alienated her. Although they lived in the dormitory of educated youth, her relationship was quite bad. Everyone deliberately kept a distance from her and ignored her existence while trying not to talk about her.

Now that Lan Ying had caused such a big commotion, the young people watching could not help but feel a little gloating.

Su Wanwan noticed that when Li Meifen was casually fiddling with the lipstick, the trademark under the lipstick shell was inadvertently revealed, with two English letters engraved on it.

Is this a foreign-made lipstick? In the planned economy era, it was very rare to import such products, not to mention cosmetics, even in production cooperatives in towns and villages.

If Lan Ying wants to get such a lipstick, she must rely on abnormal channels.

and...

Su Wanwan narrowed her eyes and observed the letters engraved on the lipstick again. As far as she could remember, the last time she came back from the mountains and sold wild boar meat to the town, she did see someone reselling lipstick in a market. The lipstick that person was selling had exactly these two letters on it, and the price surprised her, being much higher than similar toiletries.

"Tell me, there's nothing wrong with discussing it together. After all, we are a big collective, and the production team advocates the spirit of mutual help. What's the point of you hiding it?"

Seeing that Lan Ying was obviously annoyed by her remarks, Li Meifen's smile became even more wanton: "We will all live in the same dormitory in the future, so we should at least get to know each other better, right? I can't even recognize the English on the brand of this lipstick, can you explain it to me first?"

Wang E, who was watching the situation ahead, could no longer remain silent as Li Meifen's talk became more and more outrageous. "You can't say that. Even in a group, personal privacy should be respected. Do you think you have good manners when you show off other people's things?"

To Su Wanwan, Wang E's views did not seem to be obviously biased, but rather she expressed her opinions in a neutral manner.

But when Li Meifen heard this, she felt different. After all, before this, Wang E was Lan Ying's only roommate, and speaking for her was undoubtedly a challenge to her.

"Now you are defending her? I don't understand what happened in the cafeteria at noon. Why are all of you targeting me? Is it because I spread a few rumors? That incident itself is not credible. I think everyone knows it."

Li Meifen's rebuttal was like a spark hitting a haystack, completely igniting her anger.

Wang E's persuasion failed to cool the situation, but instead exacerbated the friction. "You are just like this, always talking about others. Do you allow others to criticize anything in front of you?" However, Li Meifen had lost her mind: "What can I say to someone like you! You have no manners at all and don't even understand basic principles!"

Lan Ying, who could no longer bear it, rushed forward desperately after saying these words, intending to take back her lipstick. Li Meifen, who was smiling a little, now looked gloomy, and seized the opportunity to throw the lipstick towards the bonfire in the distance. The lipstick bottle cap shattered in the collision, and the red lipstick was stained with dust.

"Li Meifen!" Lan Ying, who was extremely angry, thought quickly and made a decision. She grabbed the wet wooden board on the ground and rushed towards her screaming, obviously completely furious. The lipstick was obviously not a cheap thing. Li Meifen's provocation escalated several times, so it was not surprising that Lan Ying could not keep restraint.

"Stop fighting!" Wang E tried to stop the two people who were wrestling, but Li Meifen took the opportunity to pull the wet wooden board out of her hand, raised it high, and smashed it hard on Lan Ying's head. Before Wang E arrived at the scene, Lan Ying had already been knocked to the ground. The surrounding audience was all shocked, but no one dared to intervene.

"Still want to beat me? You should know whether you are qualified to do it or not." After throwing away the wooden board, Li Meifen spat on the ground and walked slowly towards the dormitory, seeming to be full of disdain for Lan Ying's attitude on the ground.

Although Lan Ying was a little dazed by Li Meifen's previous attack, after recovering a little, she was still able to keep a clear mind, although her head was still buzzing.

She picked up the wooden board that fell on the ground, endured the pain, straightened her body, and chased after Li Meifen with determination.

After all, the difference between Li Meifen, who is in better health than Lan Ying who suffered trauma and has quicker reactions, and Lan Ying is not a quantitative difference but a qualitative difference.

Before the board got close, Li Meifen turned around again and snatched the board from Lan Ying's hand.

"If you keep fighting like this, I'm afraid I'll really make you suffer. What I want to exchange is not friendship, but your precious life. I don't want to go back with such a ruthless life."

It was obvious that the setback just now made Li Meifen regain her lost dignity. She no longer had patience with Lan Ying and was ready to end this farce.

"As an exchange student, you arbitrarily stole other people's belongings, damaged dormitory property at will, and even attempted to harm your roommate with a weapon. Do you still want to get away with it? I warn you, don't even think that anyone will stand on your side!"

Lan Ying was still furious, but she remained calm and rational, realizing that she was not as strong and skilled as Li Meifen, and that she had no help. If she continued to act recklessly, the consequences would only worsen her injuries.

"I don't want to hear your excuses. Everyone here knows it. Let's see who can stand up and do justice! Let's see who starts the fight today!" The humiliation that Li Meifen had accumulated during her days in Baihua Village burst out at this moment. She was even calmer than Su Wanwan. She glanced at Lan Ying and Wang E indifferently, then walked past them calmly and entered the room.

As soon as Li Meifen entered the room, Su Wanwan quickly moved forward, looking cautious as if she was afraid of touching Lan Ying's nerves.

"What do you want to do? Don't come near me!" Lan Ying felt threatened, her head still dizzy, but she still held the wooden board tightly and stared at Su Wanwan defensively.

"If you come any closer, you'll be in trouble!" Seeing that Su Wanwan ignored the warning and was unprepared, Lan Ying swung the wooden board hard and smashed it down on Su Wanwan's arm. Her attack did not aim at the fatal part like Li Meifen did, but only hit the opponent's forearm.

The wood hit Su Wanwan's elbow with a dull sound, and Lan Ying, who was holding the other end, paused.

Su Wanwan never dreamed that there were hidden nails in the board. She groaned in pain and pushed the board away, enduring the severe pain. She carefully covered the area where she might bleed and get hurt, staggered a few steps to the bonfire, and picked up the lipstick that Li Meifen had dropped.
