After dinner, Yunyi thought about the winter storage vegetables in her private plot. For convenience when cooking small meals later, she naturally wanted to take them all with her. However, she didn’t need to leave too much out in the open. It would be better to make some sauerkraut, pickle some kimchi, and prepare some preserved vegetables to store in her dimensional space.
Since there was still plenty of time and nothing else to do, she decided to wash and prepare all the vegetables first. She set aside some winter vegetables for appearances, washed and drained the rest, and planned to buy a few small ceramic jars the next day.
Just as she finished tidying up and was about to enter her dimensional space to bathe, she heard a commotion outside. She left the courtyard, opened the main gate, and listened attentively.
Just then, Liu Chenglin from next door also opened his courtyard gate. "What’s happened?"
Yunyi replied, "I don’t know. I only came out because I heard the noise."
"Are you going to take a look?" Liu Chenglin asked.
"I don’t think I will. It’s pitch black out there."
But just as Yunyi finished speaking, she heard someone shout, "I saw them! It’s the village’s Zhang Mazier and Educated Youth Deng Xiaojie from the Zhiqing Point!"
"How shameless! So young and already sneaking into haystacks with someone."
"That Deng Xiaojie really isn’t picky, to think she’d go for Zhang Mazier. What unique taste."
At this moment, Deng Xiaojie was trapped in the haystack, surrounded by onlookers who were treating her like a spectacle. She truly wished she could die.
She had come out tonight to meet Zhang Mazier and ask why he hadn’t acted after so long. But somehow, she had ended up rolling in the hay with him. No, that wasn’t right. She had only done such an irrational thing after eating the fruit Zhang Mazier had given her.
Anyway, he wouldn’t admit it. To make it convincing, he had only used a minuscule amount of the drug—so little that even the Public Security Bureau wouldn’t be able to detect it. He just had to insist that they had been involved for a while. Yunyi’s deadline was almost up, and he was terrified of that fearsome woman. It was better to obey her and take this troublemaker Deng Xiaojie off her hands. Besides, he’d get a wife for free; it was no loss to him.
Well, Deng Xiaojie was reaping what she had sown. Yunyi felt no sympathy or guilt whatsoever, as Deng Xiaojie had been the one with malicious intentions first.
