Chapter 121: Chapter 121: The Toad Wants to Eat Swan Meat
A pitch-black figure suddenly jumped up and desperately covered her mouth.
Zhang Guifang almost cried, has this dead girl’s mouth been blessed? How can everything she says be so accurate?
At worst, she would have to pay some money for stealing electricity, but if this girl kept talking, her life would be over.
"I... I admit that I stole the electricity. Dead girl, you are not allowed to say anything more."
Su Xiaoxiao clicked her tongue, feeling a bit regretful. She still had several types of vows she hadn’t spoken yet.
Thanks to her, Zhang Guifang now had a psychological shadow over making vows.
The village chief coughed lightly to ease the awkward atmosphere: "Alright, Zhang Guifang has admitted it. Let’s call the electrician over later and calculate everyone’s losses so she can compensate each one accordingly."
While speaking, he sneaked a glance at Su Xiaoxiao and gave her a very kind smile: "Su Family girl, thanks to you for this matter. The village will give your family extra two ounces of meat when dividing it later."
The village chief smiled exceedingly courteously at her while anxiously praying inside that Su Family girl wouldn’t remember his previous attempts to force her to marry his foolish son.
Fortunately, Su Xiaoxiao had already forgotten about this matter, smiled and nodded at him: "Thank you, village chief."
After speaking, she slowly turned around and went back home.
Seeing her leave, the village chief finally sighed in relief and wiped the cold sweat off his forehead.
Su Xiaoxiao just pushed open the courtyard door when she heard a surprised shout from inside.
"Which scoundrel stole my fish?"
Liu Cuilan had gotten up in the morning, finished cooking, and just wanted to check if any fish had died.
To her surprise, there wasn’t a single fish left in the big water tank.
The third one had mentioned these fish could sell for over ten yuan per pound.
She was so angry, she almost fainted on the spot.
Seeing Su Xiaoxiao enter, she hurriedly grabbed her: "Third one, quickly, wake your two brothers up. Someone has stolen our fish."
Su Xiaoxiao looked at her mother, who appeared heartbroken, and suddenly remembered that she was so busy watching the drama that she forgot to tell her mother about selling the fish.
She immediately took out a big handful of money from her pocket and handed it over: "Mom, I forgot to tell you. I just delivered the fish to someone, and this is the money they paid."
So, the fish weren’t stolen after all.
Liu Cuilan finally recovered.
Realizing it, she glared at Su Xiaoxiao: "You almost scared me to death, you girl."
"Next time, remember to take your younger brothers with you. So many fish, you with your skinny arms and legs, how can you carry it? They are boys, rough and strong, perfect for heavy work."
As soon as she finished talking, she turned around and met the two younger brothers’ resentful gaze.
Was she really their mom? Why does it seem like only their third sister is her own child?
"Alright, I’ll give each of you a yuan. Hurry and eat, or you’ll be late for school."
The two younger brothers’ sadness was instantly soothed by money, and they went off to have breakfast happily.
Liu Cuilan took two banknotes from the handful of money and gave the rest to Su Xiaoxiao: "Go buy two new outfits, dress up nicely. You never dress like a girl, what if you can’t get married?"
Everything about her third daughter was good, except she didn’t pay much attention to her dress, often went to work with messy hair and old faded clothes.
Last time, she bought so much fabric, she didn’t even save one piece for herself.
Su Xiaoxiao didn’t actually mind much; she now had money and still wore old clothes purely because it was comfortable and she was too lazy to shop.
Seeing time was running out, she placed the money back into Liu Cuilan’s hands: "Mom, I have money. You keep it. I’m going to be late for work."
While speaking, she hurriedly grabbed a cornbread from the table, held it in her mouth, and rushed out.
Earning so much money in the morning and witnessing Zhang Guifang’s embarrassment made Su Xiaoxiao feel great.
But her good mood didn’t last long; as she rode her bike past the department store, she ran into Zhang Dongmei, who was also on her way to work.
Seeing her, Zhang Dongmei snorted coldly: "I heard yesterday you shamelessly pestered Zhao Yang again? Look at yourself, just a poor village girl. Zhao Yang is the son of a deputy director. You’re like a toad wanting to eat swan meat."
Su Xiaoxiao: "What bad luck first thing in the morning!"
"You dead girl, who are you calling unlucky?"
Zhang Dongmei stepped forward and grabbed the bike handlebar: "Explain yourself!"
"Let go!"
She was in a hurry to go to work and hadn’t got time to argue with her.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Dongmei was determined and refused to let go.
She was upset. Why did the men she liked always get taken by Su Xiaoxiao the dead girl? First Zhou Cheng, now even Zhao Yang?
Clearly, she wasn’t worse than this stinky girl at all.
Today, she must teach this scoundrel a lesson.
"Zhang Dongmei, are you a mad dog? Let go now, or be careful of getting bitten by a dog!"
Su Xiaoxiao pushed her away, ready to leave on her bike. Just as her feet were about to leave the ground, her back seat was grabbed again.
"You shameless dead girl, who said you could leave?"
Just as she finished speaking, behind them came the sound of a dog barking.
Zhang Dongmei instinctively turned her head and saw a large black dog, taller than a person, charging towards them.
She suddenly had an idea, hopefully, the dog would scar this dead girl’s face.
Thinking this, she kicked the bike, catching Su Xiaoxiao off guard, causing both the bike and herself to topple over.
"Zhang Dongmei, you’re crazy!"
"Su Xiaoxiao, you think you’re so tough? Stay right here and wait to be bitten by that dog."
Zhang Dongmei turned around to run, but she quickly heard the barking coming closer.
She turned back, frightened, almost losing strength in her legs.
The dog hadn’t even looked at Su Xiaoxiao but was chasing her instead.
Seeing the dog about to catch up to her, she screamed miserably: "Ahhhh... Help, someone save me!"
She ran and screamed, many onlookers stopped to watch her, pointing and gossiping, yet no one stepped in to help.
Running, Zhang Dongmei felt disoriented by the wind. What was wrong with this dog? Why was it chasing only her?
One person and one dog were crazily circling in front of the department store.
Customers there to shop were dumbfounded.
An old man crept out from the crowd, watching intently: "Good! Another lap!"
Zhang Dongmei: Are they treating her like a monkey show?
At that moment, a tall and thin figure suddenly rushed out from the side, holding a stick: "Mr. Zhang, quick, step aside. I’ll help you."
Seeing the newcomer, Zhang Dongmei blushed, stopped in her tracks, and spoke coyly: "Zhao Yang, thank you."
As soon as she spoke, her face suddenly changed.
