Chapter 197 The First Bad Deed Done by Ye Shengsong
Ye Shengsong was actually very excited. It was the first time she had ever dealt with a villain. She had to think carefully about how to deal with her.
Hitting her would leave her weak. Using medicine would only last a few days. What about stripping her clothes? Ruining her reputation. Didn't she like to curse? Then she would make many, many people curse her.
Fine, that's what she'd do. Ye Shengsong committed the first bad deed of her life. And from then on, she would go further and further down that path, escalating with each step.
Ye Shengsong had just stripped off Li Xiumei's outer clothes when she realized something was wrong. In such a secluded place, how could she be discovered? If she wasn't discovered, how could she be cursed?
Looking at Li Xiumei's undershirt and shorts, Ye Shengsong took scissors from her bag and cut the undershirt and shorts short, leaving only enough to cover her vital parts.
She then took out lipstick and wrote five large characters on Li Xiumei's thin stomach: "I slept with another man."
Let her curse, let her curse the original owner. This way, she would never escape the fate of being cursed.
Li Xiumei was actually conscious and could vaguely see Ye Shengsong. She felt very dizzy and too weak to curse.
Ye Shengsong helped Li Xiumei up and walked her to a courtyard gate, knocking hard a few times before letting go and running away.
Before leaving, she applied an even stronger "bad mouth medicine" to Li Xiumei, ensuring she couldn't speak for at least a month.
Ye Shengsong ran out of the alley and clapped her hands. She suddenly felt that revenge was exhilarating. She was no longer in a hurry to find Chen Tangtang.
Because she could already hear the sound of angry curses, she wanted to watch the show, to witness the first big show of torment she had orchestrated.
"Who is this shameless person, coming to my doorstep to be a slut? Who are you trying to disgust?"
"What's going on? What's going on?"
"Oh my, you guys, look at what's written on her stomach!"
"'I slept with another man.'"
"Hahahaha, she must have slept with someone else's husband and been caught. She must have been dealt with by some woman."
Ye Shengsong followed the crowd into the alley and felt helpless when she heard herself being referred to as "some woman." She was clearly still a beautiful young girl, so how could she be a woman?
"Quick, send her to the public security bureau. Such indecent behavior must be severely punished."
"Yes, yes, let's go, let's send her."
Li Xiumei was still groggy, and was dragged away.
Ye Shengsong originally wanted to follow them to the police station, but she figured she wouldn't be allowed in, so it was better to have Ah Can find out Li Xiumei's fate and listen to the news.
Ye Shengsong was in a great mood, humming a tune as she wandered to the coal factory's staff housing. But Ye Shengsong didn't know where Chen Tangtang lived.
She looked around and saw a few children playing together. Ye Shengsong walked over and took out a White Rabbit toffee.
"Children, whoever can answer one question for me will get a toffee."
"My mom said people who use candy to coax children are bad people."
"But this sister doesn't look like a bad person."
"I want candy."
Ye Shengsong's hand, holding the candy, froze in mid-air. The plots from novels were actually lies. Didn't they say one candy could do many things?
"Ahem, I'm not a bad person. I'm looking for Chen Tangtang, does anyone know her?"
"Yes, I know her. I answered your question, can I have the candy now?"
A little boy extended his hand to Ye Shengsong.
Ye Shengsong felt a bit dejected. She had been outsmarted by a child. It seemed one toffee wasn't enough.
Ye Shengsong used two toffees to get Chen Tangtang's exact location. She quickly shook off the little brats following her, who were not as cute as little sweethearts at all.
She knocked on Chen Tangtang's door and indeed heard a familiar voice.
The door opened, and she was greeted by a piercing scream and a big hug.
"You rascal, where did you go after your exams? I couldn't find you anywhere. The house you used to live in is occupied by someone else, and no one knows where you went."
Ye Shengsong's frail body couldn't handle Chen Tangtang's weight, so she quickly pushed her away.
"Aren't you going to let me in to sit?"
Chen Tangtang quickly wiped away the tears welling up in her eyes and pulled her inside.
It was a two-bedroom apartment with a living room, a kitchen, and an independent bathroom. This was considered a decent house in the staff quarters.
After Chen Tangtang asked Ye Shengsong to sit down, she hurried into the kitchen to pour water. Ye Shengsong also took out the gifts she bought and placed them on the table.
"Why did you buy so many things? Take them all back later."
Ye Shengsong took the water cup and gave Chen Tangtang a look of playful reproach.
"These are the little snacks I brought for you, just in case you lost weight from missing me."
"Hmph, you still know that I miss you, but you didn't even leave an address. I couldn't find you."
Ye Shengsong actually saw Chen Tangtang's slightly reddened eyes. It seemed she had really missed her. Her heart suddenly felt warm. Tangtang was her first friend, including in her previous life.
Ye Shengsong quickly took out paper and a pen from her bag and quickly wrote down the address.
"Here, my address. You're welcome to come visit me anytime."
Chen Tangtang looked at the address and carefully put the paper away.
"Okay, okay. I'm so bored during the summer holidays. I'll definitely come to find you one day."
"Bored? You have to remember that you're about to start the second year of high school."
Mentioning the second year of high school, Chen Tangtang let out a wail.
"Shengsong, I wish I had your talent. I get a headache just looking at books now. By the way, have you thought about getting a job after graduation?"
"A job?"
Ye Shengsong shook her head. She herself didn't like doing repetitive work day in and day out, let alone her family wouldn't let her work hard to earn money.
"No, my family wants me to recuperate at home. I'll just be a lazy fish from now on, eating and drinking at home every day."
Chen Tangtang was extremely envious. Her biggest life goal was to lie at home and eat and drink.
"My parents are still worried about my job. Now it's one carrot, one pit, and even some jobs are hereditary. Where am I supposed to find a job?"
Ye Shengsong thought about it. It was true, jobs were hard to find nowadays. Even if someone was selling jobs, there were a lot of people scrambling for them, and the prices were very high.
Chen Tangtang sighed. If she didn't have news of a job within a year, she would have to go for construction support.
Ye Shengsong quickly changed the subject. She couldn't help her friend and couldn't hurt her further.
The afternoon passed quickly. Ye Shengsong looked at her watch, and it was almost six o'clock. She quickly said goodbye to Chen Tangtang and left.
Chen Tangtang walked her to the main gate before reluctantly returning.
Ye Shengsong was really thirsty. She had been talking for so long at Chen Tangtang's house but didn't dare to drink the water outside. Her eldest brother and mother had always emphasized this to her, so she hadn't touched the cup of water Chen Tangtang had offered.
Ye Shengsong saw a supply and marketing cooperative not far away. She wanted to try the soda from this era, wondering if it tasted good.
In fact, Ah Ming had already seen her when Ye Shengsong left the coal factory's staff housing. Ah Ming had been lurking around the staff housing, and seeing Ye Shengsong now, he finally felt relieved.
