Miss Yu Decides To Change Her Fate After Being Reborn! - Chapter 237

237 Extremely Hungry

As Zeng Li looked at the scattered books, he was very puzzled, but he still said calmly, “Do you need to go through so much trouble? You could have just borrowed high school textbooks from those graduates, but you specifically came to the recycling station to find them. I’ll send you two new sets after I return to S City.”

Yu Bing put the books back into the torn bag and replied with a look of disdain, “I have to return what I borrowed. It’s expensive to buy new books. All these books are only worth a yuan!”

At this moment, Xiao Sheng had already returned to the restaurant and asked for two ropes. He took the bag from Yu Bing and went forward to tie the tear. Then, he carried it to the back seat and tied it tightly with the rope.

Although Zeng Li found their actions strange, he didn’t think too much about it. After all, what Yu Bing had said just now made sense. No matter what, such a large bag of books couldn’t be bought in a bookstore without at least ten to twenty yuan.

Because the back seat was already occupied by books, Yu Bing followed at the side while Xiao Sheng pushed the cart in front.

!!
Xiao Sheng was pretending to be calm just now. In fact, he was very flustered. After leaving the city and seeing that there was no one else on the way, he whispered to Yu Bing, “Is it okay that Zeng Li saw those books just now?”

Yu Bing replied calmly, “Don’t worry, having textbooks isn’t against the law. It’s just that the place where we bought the books is a little unconventional.”

After Xiao Sheng thought about it, he agreed and felt that he was being a little paranoid.

Yu Bing and Xiao Sheng went to the village’s school first and placed the books they had used as cover there. Then, Xiao Sheng brought the remaining books home first while Yu Bing went to the factory.

After work, Yu Bing and Jiang Chun returned home together. After entering the kitchen, Jiang Chun hurriedly began to wash the rice. She looked at Yu Bing, who was also in the kitchen, a little anxiously. Although she had burned the things at home that had accidentally been stained with blood, she was worried that Yu Bing would notice something. Hence, she tried her best to say in a calm tone, “Yu Bing, go back to your room and do your own work. I’ll be done shortly.”

Because Yu Bing was usually busy, she didn’t do many chores at home and left them all to Jiang Chun, but Jiang Chun never blamed her. Instead, Jiang Chun asked her to rest. Yu Bing felt that she had been spoiled by Jiang Chun.

When Yu Bing heard Jiang Chun’s words, she felt even more embarrassed. “I don’t have anything on today, so I’ll cook tonight. Go rest.”

After Yu Bing finished speaking, she saw something on the stove. She walked towards it and realized that it was money.

Even if it was just 0.01 yuan, Jiang Chun’s money would be wrapped in a handkerchief and placed in the innermost layer of her pocket. She was always afraid that she would lose the money, let alone 0.5 yuan!

However, Yu Bing recalled that she hadn’t approached the stove today. She picked up the money and turned to look at Jiang Chun as she asked in confusion, “Jiang Chun, why did you put your money on the stove?”

At this moment, Jiang Chun was putting the rice into the lunch box. She wasn’t someone who left money out in random places, Hence, she replied without looking up, “I didn’t put money on the stove.”

There were only two people at home. If Yu Bing was sure that it wasn’t hers, it must be Jiang Chun’s. “Are you sure? I only had breakfast at the table this morning and didn’t touch the stove. Did you put it there at noon?”

Jiang Chun’s hand paused when she suddenly remembered that the soldier had given her money at noon, but she had refused it.

She turned to look at Yu Bing’s hand. The value of the money was the same as what the soldier had given her, so Jiang Chun could only pretend that she had just remembered. “Oh! Yes! It’s mine. I’m a little muddle-headed today.”

Yu Bing handed the money to Jiang Chun. “It’s 0.5 yuan. Fortunately, it was left at home.”

Jiang Chun took it and smiled awkwardly before lowering her head to continue working. Yu Bing squatted under the stove and started a fire.

Jiang Chun didn’t know what reason she could find to send Yu Bing out. If she said too much, she was afraid that Yu Bing would become suspicious, so she could only act according to the situation.

Half an hour later, they started having the meal. As Yu Bing looked at Jiang Chun’s full box of white rice, she frowned and said, “Are you very hungry today?”

Jiang Chun usually only ate half a bowl of rice, but in this situation, she could only nod and say, “Yes, I’m very hungry today.”

However, after Yu Bing put down her bowl and chopsticks and saw that Jiang Chun had only eaten a third of the meal, she realized that Jiang Chun seemed to be acting a little strange today, but she couldn’t tell what it was.
