The two older won didn’t say anything else, but their impression of Xu Wenwan had soured considerably.
Since Xu Wenwan was the village chief’s daughter, they could only suppress their dissatisfaction.
Gu Jiaojiao remained silent.
She wasn’t in a hurry, so she didn’t speak up.
But her silence didn’t an Xu Wenwan would leave her alone.
Seeing her own frazzled state contrasted with Gu Jiaojiao’s unruffled deanor, Xu Wenwan’s temper flared.
"Gu Zhiqing, you’re so lucky. You have a man who buys you a watch. If I had a watch, I wouldn’t have been late."
Gu Jiaojiao glanced at Xu Wenwan and chuckled. "You just won’t be happy until I snap back at you, will you?"
"There are so many people on this ox-cart. I’m the only one with a watch, yet everyone else managed to be on ti except for you. And now you’re trying to drag into this?"
"If you can’t see the ti, can’t you ask soone?"
"If you want a watch that badly, go find a man of your own!"
’I just wonder if Yun Hao would be willing.’
Xu Wenwan was fuming internally, but she put on an innocent expression.
"Gu Zhiqing, how can you think that way? We won should be independent. We can’t rely on n."
Gu Jiaojiao feigned surprise. "Oh? So when you get married, you won’t want a betrothal gift or the ’three big items’?"
Xu Wenwan: ...
’Of course she wanted a betrothal gift.’
But then she rembered that the watch on Gu Jiaojiao’s wrist was apparently a betrothal gift from Leng Yuan, so she steeled herself and said it.
"I don’t want them."
"We’re won of the new era. As long as two people love each other, that’s all that matters. A betrothal gift isn’t important. What’s most important is the other person’s feelings."
This speech about being a "woman of the new era" left everyone stunned.
Several people on the cart stared at Xu Wenwan as if she were an idiot.
Even Yu Fangfang couldn’t help but cover her face, wishing she could pretend she didn’t know Xu Wenwan.
It was too humiliating.
She couldn’t bear the second-hand embarrassnt.
Gu Jiaojiao, however, wasn’t surprised in the slightest.
"Wow, Xu Wenwan, you’re so progressive. As expected of the village chief’s daughter. You really are in a class of your own."
Xu Wenwan lifted her chin, shooting Gu Jiaojiao a disdainful look.
’Does she think everyone is as unsophisticated as her? It’s just a watch. Is that really sothing to show off?’
This ti, Gu Jiaojiao didn’t say anything.
Xu Wenwan grew even prouder. She’d argued Gu Jiaojiao into silence. Her foul mood finally lifted a bit.
anwhile, a man with bird’s-nest hair rode his bicycle to the foot of the mountain in Qingshan Team.
Seeing the locked iron gate, he knew Leng Yuan wasn’t ho.
He waited at the gate for a while, but Leng Yuan didn’t return. He had no choice but to scrawl a few words on a note, stick it to the gate, and hurry away.
By the ti Gu Jiaojiao got back, the sky was already growing dark. She returned ho to find that Leng Yuan still hadn’t co back, and she couldn’t help but worry.
anwhile, Xu Wenwan, who had also hurried back, was inford by her system that the man had already left!
Xu Wenwan: ...!!!
"System, were you sent by my enemies to tornt ? Were you?!"
She was on the verge of a breakdown. She desperately wanted to unbind from this garbage system.
The system, knowing it was at fault, remained silent.
Because of this, Xu Wenwan had a sour look on her face the mont she got off the ox-cart, as if soone owed her a fortune.
Village Chief Xu couldn’t stand his daughter’s sullen attitude.
"Why the long face? You go out and have fun all day without doing a lick of work, and you still have the nerve to give everyone a dirty look? I see I’ve spoiled you too much. Starting tomorrow, you’re helping sweep the courtyard. If you don’t do a good job, you don’t eat."
Xu Wenwan’s eyes instantly turned red.
’Her day had been unlucky enough, and now she had to co ho to a scolding from her father. This isn’t how she wrote it at all.’
’Why was everyone’s attitude toward her completely different from what she had written?’
Xu Wenwan burst into angry tears, ran straight to her room, slamd the door shut, and threw herself onto the bed, sobbing.
Chen Xiaoli was not pleased.
Her daughter shared a room with Xu Wenwan. With the door shut, how was her daughter supposed to get into the room to sleep?
The consequence of Chen Xiaoli’s anger was that Xu Chongfeng had to take his quilt and go sleep with their son. She was too annoyed to even look at him.
