Chapter 27
Stealing
Yu Su and Xiao Han were familiar with the environment in the village, but at this time, many families were still working in the fields. There were not many people around, and some families were basically filled with older people. Yu Su greeted them one by one and said some polite words.
The first step of building a good relationship was to start with polite words.
Xiao Han followed beside Yu Su. When Yu Su introduced herself, he would introduce himself too as if he was still a little shy.
If there was anything that needed help, Yu Su would help if she could.
In the eyes of the villagers, she did not look like a celebrity who had come to experience life. Instead, she looked more like a little girl who had lived by their side and whom they had watched as she grew up. They felt closer and liked her more.
Hence, after visiting for a while, Yu Su was already carrying bags of various things, such as eggs, cured meat, dried vegetables, and so on. They were all gifts from the villagers to thank her.
The leisurely time passed relatively quickly. Seeing that the sky had already darkened, the two of them carried a pile of gifts home.
When she entered the courtyard, she saw Meng Xi with her hands on her hips, facing Yu Miao and the others. Her face was red with anger.
“You guys are too much. Ding Chen chopped wood and we worked hard to exchange for food, and you want to take it just like that? Then what rules do we need for this show? What mission? Can’t we just snatch it?”
It turned out that Ding Chen had only chopped some firewood and placed it at the kitchen door according to Yu Su’s instructions. The two of them had been tired for the entire day, so they returned to their rooms to take a nap.
When they woke up and looked at the sky, they reckoned that the two of them should be back by now. They wanted to light a fire and boil some water to wash the vegetables out first. This would also reduce some of Yu Su’s burden.
Unexpectedly, when they arrived at the courtyard, they saw that the chopped firewood had disappeared. When they entered the kitchen, they realized that the ingredients they had exchanged for had also decreased a lot. When they looked again, they saw that Yu Miao and the others were eating at the dining table in the middle room. Needless to say, they must have taken away the sumptuous food.
Hence, there was a dispute.
“I already said that there’s no name written on the firewood. We thought that the production team had prepared it. As for the ingredients, yours is right beside us. I thought that it was ours, so I used it. If I used it, so be it. Why are you so agitated? You’re so stingy. It’s not like you don’t have food.”
Shen Chun scratched her ear impatiently.
“It’s considered stealing if you don’t ask. Don’t you know what ingredients you had exchanged for?” Yu Su had been standing at the door and listening for a long time. When they had no food to eat, they resorted to stealing theirs.
When Meng Xi and Ding Chen saw the two of them return, they ran over happily and recounted the entire incident.
When everyone in this group was finally present, the two of them straightened their backs even more. When they saw the various things Yu Su and Xiao Han were carrying, they were even happier.
Clearly, they were not the only ones who had seen what Yu Su and Xiao Han had brought back.
“Yu Su, did you come back late with some things, so Xixi and the others misunderstood that we took your portion?”
Yu Miao stared straight at Yu Su. She had just seen Yu Su and Xiao Han walk in happily, and Xiao Han had never smiled at her like this before.
“If there’s a problem with your eyes, go and treat it. When did the things provided by the production team be stored in such a bag?” At this moment, Xiao Han had already restrained his smile and looked at Yu Miao with undisguised disgust.
This woman was indirectly saying that they were deliberately calling them a thief and playing tricks with them? She was overestimating herself.
“Xiao Han, pay attention to your attitude. Is what my sister said wrong? Your things were suddenly lost, and then the two of you came back from outside with a pile of things. Isn’t that enough to prove the problem?” Yu Miao was the first to stand up after being criticized.
“The things were given to us by the villagers. If you don’t believe me, you can go and ask. On the other hand, you guys took our things silently. How are you any different from thieves?” Yu Su looked straight into Yu Ruo’s eyes, which were already filled with anger.
In the past, Yu Su would probably immediately avoid Yu Ruo’s gaze and lower her head to hide her presence. But now, she did not retreat at all. Instead, it made Yu Ruo feel a little guilty.
