When Xu Ling heard this, she sneered and said, "Yu Yan, you're really ungrateful. If it weren't for the half a handful of rice you look down on now, you might have starved to death! We saved your life, understand? Do you think you can return the favor just by buying some expensive things?"
Yu Yan retorted bluntly, "Never expect the rewards when helping someone out. Aren't you blackmailing me now?"
Xu Ling looked as if she had heard a joke. "Never expect the rewards when helping someone out? Isn't it a little funny to hear this from the mouth of someone who received the favor? When you're rich, you buy things for everyone to eat as repayment?"
When everyone heard Yu Yan's words, their expressions darkened.
When they donated rice, they didn't think of asking Yu Yan to repay them. They only did it on account of the fact that everyone was away from home and that they should support each other.
