On the way back to the educated youth compound, Sun Yuxi took out two yuan from his pocket and handed it to Bai Nuo.

"Nono, keep this money. The three of us beat him up together, there's no reason for you to pay for it all by yourself."

"Yes, yes, this is mine."

Chao Xianhua quickly took out two yuan. Although she had just burst into tears, after leaving the brigade headquarters, apart from her red eyes and nose, she no longer looked so aggrieved. Instead, her eyes were full of relief.

Bai Nuo looked at the four yuan handed to her, then smiled and pushed it back: "Don't be silly. Do you think I don't know? This whole thing started because of me. Wang Mudan just has her eye on Fang Meng. She was upset to see me eating with Fang Meng, so she deliberately picked a fight. Liu Xier is also upset because I beat her up before. So I should pay for this. There's no reason for me to take your money. Take it back now."

"No way..."

"Yes, there is!"

Bai Nuo didn't give Sun Yuxi a chance to continue speaking, and forcefully made them take the money back by holding their hands down.

Although she likes money now, she doesn't take any money. This whole thing was started by her, but when they were at the educated youth compound, Sun Yuxi and Chao Xianhua sided with her without saying a word, and even took action without hesitation.

When they arrived at the brigade headquarters, every sentence they uttered included all three of them, without mentioning that it was because of her, or even mentioning Fang Meng once.

Bai Nuo knew that the two men were doing this for her reputation, so she didn't bring a single male comrade with her to the brigade headquarters.

If Bai Nuo were to accept this money, it would be a real waste of such friendship and goodwill.

Although she likes to be straightforward, she is still very savvy in social interactions.

That's how you make friends!

Sun Yuxi and Chao Xianhua exchanged a glance, no longer bothered by it, and smiled as they took the money back. Then they each took one of Bai Nuo's arms. Although there was a height difference, it didn't affect their walking at all.

"Okay then, I'll buy you something nice to eat later to help you recover from your anger."

"That's right, Sister Flower bought me candy."

Bai Nuo looked at her arms from side to side and suddenly felt no longer moved.

"You two let me go, then carried me away again. So what if you're high and mighty? So what if you're high and mighty!"

Just wait, she's determined to find that genetic scourge and expose him, she absolutely must expose him!

Sun Yuxi and Chao Xianhua exchanged a glance, chuckled, and the next second, they simultaneously exerted force in their arms, instantly increasing their pace.

"Let's go, it'll get dark soon!"

"Yes, yes, it's not safe when it's dark!"

Bai Nuo clearly felt his feet leave the ground again!

"You two put me down. I'm not afraid of the dark. I want to walk by myself."

However, Bai Nuo felt that she was flying faster, and she could even clearly feel the cold wind blowing across her cheeks.

Damn, this world... maybe we should just destroy it!

When the three returned to the educated youth compound, it was quiet inside. The courtyard had been cleaned up, and the oil lamps were still lit in the closed dormitory rooms. The curtains in the female educated youth dormitory moved slightly.

The three of them exchanged a glance and went straight back to their private rooms in the side courtyard.

"Alright, go back and get some sleep. You'll be starting work tomorrow. Remember to get up early for breakfast, and it'll be chilly in the morning, so wear more layers."

Sun Yuxi stood in front of her house, giving her two younger sisters, Chao Xianhua and Bai Nuo, some words of advice with a hint of worry.

"I know, don't worry."

"Okay, I understand, Sister Yuxi!"

Bai Nuo nodded, opened the door and went inside. It was completely dark outside. She turned her head and glanced at the house opposite. It was quiet inside, and the door was locked.

This guy seems to have gone out after dinner; it looks like he's left the village again.

Bai Nuo tilted her head in confusion. What kind of part-time job is this? You have to go so late at night?

Could Fang Meng be out working as a gatekeeper for some factory late at night?

A picture flashed through Bai Nuo's mind in an instant.

Tall and imposing Fang Meng, dressed in a tattered thin coat, looked pitiful and dejected as he huddled in the guardhouse of a large factory. He held a broken teacup in one hand and read a newspaper by the dim light of the other. Outside, the night wind blew, and there was no one around...

"puff!"

Fang Meng is awesome! He avoided taking decades of detours ahead of time!

Damn, I can't think about it anymore, I can't control my gloating smile!

Bai Nuo hurriedly went back into the house, locked the front door from the inside, then turned around to draw the curtains in both the front and back, and took a flashlight to the side cabinet to light the kerosene lamp.

She placed the glass kerosene lamp she bought at the supply and marketing cooperative in the foyer, and on the sideboard was the red retro portable kerosene lamp she took out of her room; both were quite nice and could serve as decorations.

Afterwards, I took a flashlight to the backyard to check the gate and the wall, and casually scattered the vines I was holding along the base of the wall.

The sky outside was pitch black, which was perfect for her to plant vines.

After confirming that no one was around, he turned off the flashlight, knelt on one knee in the middle of the yard, lowered his head slightly, squinted his eyes, and placed his hands on the ground. His dark eyes were gradually replaced by emerald green.

The vine seeds scattered randomly on the ground automatically burrowed into the soil, and then sprouted little by little, emerging from the ground and climbing up the wall until they reached a height of forty or fifty centimeters, at which point Bai Nuo stopped.

This place is different from the courtyard in the county. The vines can't be allowed to grow too fast. She carried back a basket of wild vegetables in the afternoon. Her basket had a lid, so no one knew exactly what was inside. She could easily say that she picked vine seedlings from the mountains, but it would be hard to explain if they had climbed too high.

After planting the vines, Bai Nuo went back to her house. Apart from the two green bamboo doors, all the doors in her house had double locks.

The backyard gate is locked with two large brass locks, which can only be opened with the matching key unless forcibly broken.

The back room door used the same lock as the front door, with an antique brass bolt lock inside. After Bai Nuo went in, she locked all the doors and windows, turned off the oil lamp with a flashlight, drew the curtain, and returned to her space.

She planned to let the kang (heated brick bed) dry for two more days. It was cold that night, and she wouldn't be able to sleep comfortably without heating the kang, so she would have to go back to her space to sleep.

"Host, it's still early. How about we go into the online classroom for a cooking class? By the time you finish your class, your clone should have some news."

Bai Nuo had previously sent a clone program from the system to investigate the matter between Hong Xiuzi and the head of the pavilion. It had been almost a day and a night, and with the system's clone capabilities, it should have returned by now.

But……

Is it absolutely necessary to learn this?

Bai Nuo frowned, looking unwilling.

She has strong hands-on skills and a photographic memory due to her strong mental strength, but it is undeniable that she is a poor student who doesn't like to study!
