After my stepmother was shot, I took my brothers to the countryside

Chapter 119 Losing Money

Before Zhou Jindong reached the Youth League Home, he heard Feng Yanniang's scolding from a distance, so he hurriedly strode towards the Youth League Home.

When the people in the Youth League compound saw Zhou Jindong, they had different expressions. Lin Yu's eyes lit up. The aunt who was cursing in the backyard hadn't left yet. Was there going to be a good show?

At this time, Feng Yaniang was standing at the door of Shi Zhiqing, with her hands on her hips, cursing in a sharp and piercing voice.

Seeing Zhou Jindong coming, Feng Yaniang's eyes flashed with surprise. She glanced behind Zhou Jindong to make sure that the captain really didn't follow him. Then Feng Yaniang regained her fierce look.

"Xiaodong! What's wrong with you? You keep going to the Youth League Home every other day! Someone's going to report you! You two are having an affair! This is not a place for you! Go back now!"

Ever since Zhang Fengfeng brainwashed Feng Yanniang every day, saying that Zhou Jindong would become a millionaire in the brigade in the future and that she would marry Zhou Jindong.

When Feng Yaniang saw Zhou Jindong now, she thought of him as her son-in-law, so her tone of voice was not polite at all, as if she was the mother-in-law who saw her son-in-law having an affair.

Zhou Jindong frowned. As he walked away, he said, "Second Aunt, Shi Zhiqing and I have a completely honest comradeship! Shi Zhiqing is sick, and I came to deliver his meal with the captain's permission!"

"Xiaodong, you are young and ignorant. I am just afraid that you will be bewitched by the vixen from this city and suffer a loss!" Feng Yanniang hurriedly explained with a smile when she heard this.

Feng Ya Niang's words made Zhou Jindong's face turn pale. "Second Aunt! Shi Zhiqing and I respect you as our elder and give in to you in everything, but you curse at him like this in front of his door! And now you're saying we're having an affair? Do you think Shi Zhiqing is easy to bully? Or do you think I'm easy to bully?"

Feng Ya Niang was immediately displeased when she heard this. Her future son-in-law was actually helping other female educated youth to speak ill of her? How could she tolerate this?

"Xiaodong! You are a good young man in our team, how can you be so disloyal? Don't forget that you have nothing to do with Shi Zhiqing now! You are protecting her like this! Aren't you afraid that people in the Zhiqing Park and the team will laugh at you?!" Feng Yanniang's voice seemed to be even sharper as she spoke.

Feng Yaniang's words hurt Zhou Jindong. He really had nothing to do with Shi Zhiqing now. Everything he did was just his own will.

Taking a deep breath, Zhou Jindong suppressed the thoughts in his mind. He knew Feng Yanniang's character well, she was aggressive and unreasonable. The important thing now was to resolve Feng Yanniang's problem and not let her run to Shi Zhiqing's door and curse him every day.

"Second Aunt, we will handle the matter between Shi Zhiqing and I ourselves. But please don't come to the Zhiqingyuan again..."

"Why?! The Youth Hostel is your home! If you tell me not to come, I won't come!"

Feng Yaniang rolled her eyes and interrupted Jin Dong before he even finished. Seeing Zhou Jin Dong like this, she didn't even want him to be her son-in-law anymore! But thinking that her family would have to rely on him to become the brigade's first millionaire, Feng Yaniang quickly changed the subject.

"If she wants me to stop scolding her, then she has to pay compensation! She knocked over the meat Feng Ya brought last time! She has to pay for it!"

Feng Yaniang seemed to have forgotten that the meat that fell on the ground was picked up by her and washed, and then went into her stomach that night.

Feng Ya'niang's words hit the mark exactly what Zhou Jindong was thinking. All he wanted was to use the money to avoid disaster. The aunts in this brigade all loved to take advantage of other people, even his mother was the same.

Zhou Jindong looked at Shi Zhiqing's door. Although the door was closed, he could feel that the person inside was also listening to their conversation quietly.

He came back to his senses and said, "Second Aunt, if Shi Zhiqing is willing to compensate, can you promise not to cause trouble at the Zhiqingyuan again?"

When Feng Ya Niang heard that there was really money to be made, her eyes lit up immediately and she nodded repeatedly: "That's for sure. If she pays me, I will definitely not come again! I won't come even if you invite me!"

Anyway, today is the last day Feng Ya said, but I didn’t expect there would be such an unexpected windfall.

"Okay! How much compensation do you want?" Zhou Jindong asked.

In Ye Jiaojiao's room next door, Shen Nian was sitting on the kang. When he heard Zhou Jindong ask this, his eyes widened instantly. What kind of villain is this?

When I read books before, whenever I saw this kind of scene, my first reaction was that the male protagonist is so handsome! So domineering!

But when he became one of the characters in the book and saw the male protagonist saying this, Shen Nian's first feeling became...

What kind of silly question is that? Isn't this just giving others an opportunity to ask for exorbitant prices and make you the victim?

As Shen Nian expected, Feng Yaniang's voice sounded again the next second.

"Three dollars!"

When Feng Yaniang said this number, her face was full of excitement, as if she could already see the three dollars sparkling in her hands.

Zhou Jindong's face darkened slightly. Although three dollars was a small amount for him now, this second aunt was asking for too much!

After all, pork in that town only costs 75 cents per pound, and he doesn't believe that Feng Ya can take out a pound of meat from her home to give to Shi Zhiqing.

"Second Aunt, isn't this price too high? Pork in this town is only 75 cents per pound. Even the braised pork in state-owned restaurants is not as expensive as you want." Zhou Jindong stared at Feng Yaniang and said.

"High? How is it high? I made that meat specially for Fengya's grandma! But it was knocked over by Shi Zhiqing, and even the bowl was broken! How is three yuan too much?" Fengya's mother retorted dissatisfiedly.

Zhou Jindong was not good at speaking and he rarely talked to the aunts in the team. At this moment, he was speechless by Feng Yanniang's words. He didn't expect that this second aunt could come up with such a twisted logic.

But at this moment, he didn't want to let Feng Ya Niang continue to make trouble, nor did he want to really compensate Feng Ya Niang with three dollars. If he really paid the money, then after the news got out, other aunts in the team would inevitably follow suit!

Zhou Jindong also knew that it was impossible to reason with someone like Feng Ya Niang, so he simply said bluntly: "Second Aunt, I can compensate you on behalf of Shi Zhiqing, but three yuan is too much. How about this, I'll give you one yuan to put an end to this matter!"

When Feng Ya Niang heard that she was only going to give him one dollar, she became unhappy: "Xiao Dong! What do you mean by this? You want to get rid of me with just one dollar? Let me tell you..."

Zhou Jindong looked at her coldly: "Second Aunt! I've already made concessions. If you still want to continue pestering me, then I'll have no choice but to arrest you and take you to the captain for justice!"

When Feng Yaniang heard this, she immediately became a little scared.

She knew that the captain was a fair man, and most importantly, when she picked up the meat that day, the captain glanced at her.

If Zhou Jindong really forced her to go to the captain for justice, then the money that was about to be obtained would definitely be wasted, and she would definitely not get any good results.

Looking at Zhou Jindong's expressionless face, Feng Yaniang thought of Zhang Fengfeng's words again and nodded.

"Okay then! That's one dollar, then! Give it to me now!"

Zhou Jindong nodded in agreement, then took out a few banknotes from his pocket and handed them to Feng Yaniang.

Feng Yaniang took the money, spit some saliva on her right thumb, and rubbed it on her index finger. After counting, a satisfied smile appeared on her face.

"Second Aunt, remember you promised not to come to see Shi Zhiqing again! If you come again, I will take the money back." Zhou Jindong gave the money and did not forget to remind her.

Seeing that she had the money, Feng Yaniang no longer cared what Zhou Jindong said. She just nodded in agreement and finally ran away.

After Feng Ya'niang left, Zhou Jindong walked towards Shi Zhiqing's door and knocked gently.

The door opened a little, and Shi Zhiqing's pretty face appeared in front of Zhou Jindong. There was a hint of fear and uneasiness in her eyes, and Zhou Jindong felt heartbroken.

Shi Shengxia looked at Zhou Jindong in front of her, and a complex emotion flashed in her eyes.

"Thank you, Jindong." Shi Zhiqing said softly.

Zhou Jindong shook his head, and the two looked at each other in silence, as if something had quietly changed.
