Chapter 49: Hypocrite
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Yao Nian didn’t expect Yu Bing to really not stand on ceremony with him at all. However, since he had already promised, he couldn’t bring himself to go back on his word. He could only accept it and treat it as paying for lunch later.
Yao Nian had a good idea, but after he finished fetching water, Yu Bing and Jiang Chun were already done eating.
Yu Bing looked at the full tank and nodded happily. She turned around and said to Yao Nian with a smile, “It’s been hard on you today! I think it’s getting late. Hurry up and go back to the dormitory to rest. At the same time, you can get to know your roommates. After all, you guys will be interacting frequently in the future.” ...
Yao Nian hesitated when he heard this. This was completely different from what he had imagined.
Yu Bing naturally wouldn’t give him a chance to speak. She covered her mouth with her hand and yawned. Looking like she was thinking for Yao Nian’s sake, she said, “I’m so tired. I still have to work in the afternoon. If you go back now, you can still sleep for an hour. If you don’t rest, you definitely won’t be able to hold on in the afternoon.”
At this point, Yao Nian wasn’t thick-skinned enough to stay here and mention lunch. He could only return to the dormitory angrily.
Thinking that after coaxing Yu Bing, he could snatch the position of the tractor driver from her, Yao Nian felt a little better.
In the small courtyard, after Yao Nian left, Jiang Chun immediately approached Yu Bing and asked, “Little Bing, are you planning to be with him?”
Yu Bing immediately shook her head. “How is that possible? I won’t be with him. He probably came to our village because I became a tow truck driver.”
Jiang Chun lay on the bed as she thought about it for a moment before nodding. She said disdainfully, “I think so too. He doesn’t help others unless there’s personal benefits. For so many years, we’ve never seen him take the initiative to greet you in the school or in the courtyard. Now, he knows how important it is to look for his fiancé.”
Thinking of Yao Nian’s ill intentions, Jiang Chun felt even more at ease about Yu Bing using Yao Nian for hard labor.
Yu Bing and Jiang Chun were a grade lower than Yao Nian, but they were in the same building and everyone lived in the same courtyard. Although they didn’t have much interaction, they still knew what kind of person Yao Nian was. He was a hypocrite.
Such a person should be made to suffer a little. Only then would he stay away!
Jiang Chun snorted coldly, then she chatted with Yu Bing for a while before falling asleep.
On the day the car accessories arrived, Yu Bing went to the commune to get them. She happened to meet a tractor driver who came to ask Officer Wang for help because of a problem with the car. Coincidentally, Officer Wang went to the county today.
However, the driver looked at Yu Bing as if he had seen his savior. “Assistant Yu! It’s great to meet you. I’m Wang Niu, the driver of the White Forest Brigade nearby. Do you still remember me?”
Wang Niu was very burly and his voice was so loud that people could hear him from more than ten meters away.
Yu Bing smiled and replied, “Of course I remember. You’re Mr. Niu.”
“Yes, yes, yes, that’s me! It’s been difficult to start the tractor in our village these past two days. Officer Wang is not around, so I want to trouble you to make a trip. I’ll pick up the car and send it over. What do you think?”
Yu Bing saw that the other party was riding a bicycle. The two villages were 20 to 30 kilometers apart, which wasn’t that far and wouldn’t waste much time, so she agreed.
The car stopped in the courtyard in front of the White Forest Brigade’s village building. They had never seen cars being repaired in the countryside, so they were all gathered there to watch the commotion.
As Yu Bing inspected the tractor, she patiently told Wang Niu the reasons why it was difficult to start it. “Mr. Niu, this problem is caused by the damage to the cylinder pad. Fortunately, it’s not serious. There’s asbestos thread, right? Bring it over and I’ll teach you how to repair it.”
It didn’t take Yu Bing long to fill the cylinder. Wang Niu asked for the permission of the village staff, then gave 10 eggs to Yu Bing.
Seeing this, Yu Bing hurriedly rejected, “No need. It’s not a big deal.”
“Miss Yu, just take it. If I had delayed it for another day and waited for someone to come, more damage would have been done. Besides, no matter who comes to help, I can’t let them leave empty-handed. Take it! Otherwise, if there’s a problem again, I’ll be too embarrassed to look for you.” Wang Niu smiled and said.
As the saying went, When students master the knowledge, the teacher would lose his job. Others would just fix it directly and wouldn’t explain so much, like Yu Bing did, nor would they teach him how to repair it step by step.
Be it capabilities or character, Wang Niu admired Yu Bing from the bottom of his heart.
When Yu Bing heard this, she accepted the eggs.
