He Xiuyue dragged Yun Suisui into the cafeteria. Seeing that He's mother didn't catch up, she slowed down her pace and said embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, Suisui. I didn't expect to get you into trouble."

Yun Suisui quickly shook her head, "How can it be considered an implicated person? I was involved in this matter to begin with."

"But He Xia's mother came after me after all." He Xiu Yue still felt guilty.

Yun Suisui patted her hands and said, "Let's not be so clear about our relationship. Just now... let's just call it bad luck for both of us."

Infected by her relaxed look, He Xiuyue's expression brightened a little and she nodded in agreement, "It's really unlucky."

In other words, she is not that petty. If it happened to an ordinary person, it would be really disgusting if the people they helped turned around and blamed them.

Wei Xiaoyan and the others also caught up, "Sister Suisui, are you two okay? That crazy... Auntie is so unreasonable!"

She was about to call her a crazy woman, but when she thought that she was He Xiu Yue's relative after all, she was more tactful.

But He Xiu Yue didn't care about these things. She thought that He's mother was a crazy woman more than anyone else, and she was ungrateful and heartless.

Several people had lunch together. Everyone ordered one or two dishes. Even Han Aihua, who was always frugal, ordered cabbage slices, black fungus and stewed dried tofu.

Only Hong Xiaoya was quietly munching on a pancake made of a mixture of cornmeal and sorghum flour. It was one of the cheapest staple foods in the cafeteria, and the only side dish was the pickled radish peels sent to her by her family.

Seeing this, Yun Suisui took the initiative to push the untouched shepherd's purse and scrambled eggs in the lunch box to the middle, "Auntie, you gave me too much. I can't finish it. Can anyone help me with some?"

Although shepherd's purse has high nutritional value, she really doesn't like the taste, so just a little is enough.

Seeing this, He Xiuyue took the initiative to pick up a piece of food with chopsticks, and then called Hong Xiaoya, "Xiaoya, I remember you like to eat shepherd's purse, eat it quickly."

It's not that they are too kind-hearted, but when they left just now, Hong Xiaoya "accidentally" kicked He's mother who was throwing a tantrum, and both of them saw it.

The previous grudges have long been settled, and Hong Xiaoya has already paid the price. Although Yun Suisui holds a grudge, he will not give others no chance at all.

She would definitely not be nice to people like He Xia and Zhang Qiuwen, but Hong Xiaoya did not offend her after the scarf incident. She was always friendly and even a little timid when they met.

Although the other party may be motivated by his own interests and not truly like or respect her, and may even take advantage of her when she is down, what does it matter?

In human society, sincerity is hard to come by, and everyone in the world is busy pursuing profit.

Many times, the relationship of interest is the simplest relationship.

No matter what her purpose is, as long as what she does is beneficial to herself, it is a good thing.

The others were naturally tactful and knew who the scrambled eggs were for, so they symbolically took a piece of food with their chopsticks and didn't eat any more.

Hong Xiaoya looked up at everyone and saw that no one looked dissatisfied. She whispered "thank you" before putting her chopsticks into the lunch box.

Eggs are naturally tastier than pickles. She was rarely full, but there was still half a box of vegetables left in her lunch box. She secretly glanced at Yun Suisui, and heard her say, "Little girl, can you help me wash the lunch box? The water is too cold, go ahead. You don't have to rush to wash it, just bring it to me tomorrow at lunchtime."

Hong Xiaoya's eyes suddenly lit up. If she washed it before noon tomorrow, the dish could be kept until dinner time.

Her dark eyes were full of gratitude. "Okay, I will definitely wash it for you!"

This conversation happened to be overheard by Zhang Qiuwen, who came from the piano. She snorted coldly: "You don't even wash your lunch box. Do you really think you are a capitalist lady?"

After saying that, she directly said to Hong Xiaoya: "You are not her maid, why are you being so servile? Return the lunch box to her and let her wash it herself. Don't indulge her bad habits!"

Wei Xiaoyan was speechless. Isn't there something wrong with Chunchun?

"Zhang Qiuwen, if you have nothing to do, can you please improve your grades? Whatever you study, it's fine. If I were you, I'd be crying in bed, so why would I bother to meddle in other people's business?"

These words really touched Zhang Qiuwen's sore spot.

Because she had missed a few classes before, her grades were not very good to begin with, and she knew nothing about anything. She ranked last in the morning class test and was criticized by the teacher for a long time.

She glared at Wei Xiaoyan, whose grades were similar to hers, with gritted teeth, her eyes almost popping out of their sockets.

Wei Xiaoyan, however, was never afraid of others showing displeasure, and she looked her in the eye openly, "I'm telling the truth, what are you looking at?"

Zhang Qiuwen was furious and turned his attention to Hong Xiaoya, who seemed the easiest to bully. "I'm talking to you. You're such a coward. No wonder some young ladies ordered you around, washing dishes and doing other things!"

Unexpectedly, Hong Xiaoya was not as easy to bully as she imagined. If she was really a coward, how could she dare to steal things and sell them?

She raised her head and said with determination, "I just like washing dishes!"

"Are you crazy? Who likes to wash dishes?" Zhang Qiuwen was so angry that his voice almost broke.

"Why can't I enjoy washing dishes? There's nothing shameful about washing dishes. Everyone has done it. I'm just helping my classmates. Why do you become a maid when it comes to you?"

Hong Xiaoya said righteously, "I think the one who truly harbors capitalist ideas and looks down on the working people is not Yun, but you!"

Zhang Qiuwen was dumbfounded. After a long moment, he said, "Hong Xiaoya, I'm helping you! It's fine if you don't thank me, but why are you blaming me?"

"You are helping me only when I need you. If I don't need you, you are just being sentimental and meddling in my affairs." Hong Xiaoya was not led astray by her thoughts at all.

For the first time, everyone discovered that Hong Xiaoya, who was usually taciturn, was so eloquent and had such a quick mind.

Zhang Qiuwen wanted to say something, but was pulled away by Xiang Tiange who arrived later.

Although he didn't hear everything, he could guess with his toes that it must be his "fiancée" who was looking for trouble again.

He pushed the cursing Zhang Qiuwen back down on her seat, poured out their meals, and then said, "You eat first. I'll be out for a while."

Zhang Qiuwen wanted to know what he was going to do, but was afraid that the food and lunch box on the table would be lost, so he could only sit there and wait.

Xiang Tiange ran out of the cafeteria and chased after Yun Suisui and the others, "Classmate Yun!"

Yun Suisui turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"

Xiang Tiange pursed his lips and said with some embarrassment: "You should be more careful recently."

Yun Suisui:?

However, Xiang Tiange did not explain. After saying this, he turned around and went back to the cafeteria.

After a while, Yun Suisui finally reacted and asked He Xiuyue beside her: "Am I...being threatened?"

He Xiuyue nodded seriously, "It seems so."
