Chapter 16: My Sister Rong is the Queen of Taking Action

Rong Yan could hear the excitement in the young man's voice and couldn't help but give him a sidelong glance. Aside from Qin Ye's injury last night, this was the first time she had seen him so openly expressive.

That's how a young person should be.

"No need, I'll go have a look."

The look of disappointment on Qin Yu's face was overly obvious.

Seeing his emotional change, Rong Yan couldn't help but hook the corner of her mouth.

Great, he doesn't want me to go out and see them!

She reached out to pat his head, then walked out with a smile.

Qin Yu stood frozen in place. How... how could she touch his head?

But her hand was so warm, like a mother's.

His face turned slightly red. "Big... Big brother, I'll go check on them." What if those two bully her?

He lifted his foot and was about to rush out.

Qin Ye didn't even have time to call out to him.

But Ye Yu—his expression was somewhat off.

Though he had little to do with the intellectual youths before, he had heard of Ye Yu. Many female intellectual youths liked him, as well as some women from the village...

No, his wife must like him best. Otherwise, why would she be so kind to his brother and sister?

A light flashed in his eyes.

"Ye Yu, does Rong Yan not want to see us?" Xu Ke had barely finished her sentence when the door opened.

Her face stiffened.

This wretch... why didn't she open the door sooner.

Rong Yan's gaze swept over Ye Yu. The original male lead?

She thought Qin Ye's appearance was more to her aesthetic liking.

This one... plain boiled chicken.

Turning to Xu Ke, she scoffed coldly, "Don't be so insecure. I just don't want to see you, so you can get lost."

Xu Ke looked hurt, "Rong Yan, I don't understand why you're so angry with me. Is it because I didn't save you yesterday? But I truly didn't know anything."

Rong Yan snorted, "Seems like even a thermos bottle can't hold as much as you!"

Xu Ke: ...

She was almost unable to control the anger rising in her heart.

With an aggrieved look, she lowered her head, "Rong Yan, if you're really angry with me, you can hit me a few times to vent... But,"

She lifted her head, worry on her face, "The money you picked up, you should return it to whoever lost it! Or at least submit it to the collective... Otherwise, if you spend it, the person who lost the money will be so anxious. Maybe it's their lifesaving money."

"These days, everyone has it tough."

"We can't be like this as human beings..."

As for the matter of collecting money, she didn't dare bring it up. What if this wretch outright asked her to collect it? Should she collect it or not?

Rong Yan dug at her ear. What did she just hear?

Ye Yu also spoke up, "Rong Yan, since you've found money, you should submit it. The things you bought, go and return them. For the part that can't be returned... how much money is it? I can lend it to you first."

The words Xu Ke hadn't spoken were spoken by Ye Yu, which made her so angry she nearly ground her teeth to dust.

Is Ye Yu still holding a torch for this wretch?

Rong Yan was almost amused to anger by these two.

Her money... picked up?

And, who gave them the gall to lecture her here?

"I'm saying, if slander is a crime, I wonder how many years the Police Station will sentence you to?"

Xu Ke widened her eyes in disbelief—the Police Station? Isn't she afraid?

Even Ye Yu was extremely surprised when he heard Rong Yan's words... What did she mean by that?

Could it be that the money Rong Yan had wasn't picked up?

He thought this way, and even asked, "Rong Yan, you really didn't pick up the money?"

"Can't I have my own money? Or do I have to report every single detail of my finances to you? Who do you think you are? Living by the sea? Mind your own business."

"You're so keen on meddling in my affairs, yet I haven't seen any of you help me with even a little bit of work before!"

"Don't just open your mouth and spew garbage. As human beings, you should live up to that identity... Do you understand the importance of being careful with your words and actions?"

"Even the village idiot knows that accusations need evidence, and you can't even match up to him."

"Got a problem in your head? You'd better get treatment first before making a fool of yourselves again, acting like some kind of justice warrior. Believe it or not, I'll go straight to the town's police outpost now and report your slander?"

Hidden behind, Qin Yu silently gave his sister-in-law a thumbs up. She was too awesome.

Ye Yu, faced with Rong Yan's scathing response, seemed rather discomfited.

"... this money, since you say it's not picked up, then it's our mistake."

But Xu Ke didn't believe it. Seeing Ye Yu so readily believe Rong Yan's few words, she felt very resentful.

Her voice also inadvertently rose, "Impossible, she said last time that she had no money... This bicycle, at least one hundred fifty or sixty, and there's a bicycle ticket too, how could she have one?"

And going to the Police Station, it's definitely this wretch trying to scare them.

Ye Yu was truly at a loss for a moment.

He frowned, "Rong Yan, I'll ask you again, the money really isn't picked up by you?"

Xu Ke: "Rong Yan, don't be stubborn. We can't take others' money for ourselves..." Her voice was full of righteous indignation.

Rong Yan coldly laughed at the two of them, "It seems you really are so idle you're farting around. Fine, I initially wanted to let you off the hook, but since you insist on slandering me, I'll actually take you to the Police Station."

She stepped forward and mercilessly grabbed Xu Ke by the hair, dragging her out.

Qin Yu saw his sister-in-law start to get physical, and immediately picked up a carrying pole by the door, shouting loudly, "Big sister-in-law, I'll go with you..."

Rong Yan looked at Qin Yu bursting to her side—especially seeing him holding a carrying pole with a fiercely glaring expression aimed at Ye Yu, her mouth involuntarily twitched.
