Xiao Chenxing leaned on the door fra and earnestly gave Mrs. Xiao a thumbs-up.
Her mom, she’s aweso!
Mrs. Xiao snorted proudly, "I’d rather let the fifth child stay single than have anything to do with the Li family. What a bunch!"
"What’s wrong, Mom?"
Mrs. Xiao put on her shoes, pursed her lips dismissively, and said, "The Li Family is rotten to the core. I used to think adult matters didn’t concern you kids, but now..."
She took a deep breath. "Maybe it’s a genetic thing; anyway, stay away from the Li family from now on.
Oh, by the way, the second house of the Li Family doesn’t count, they’ve been abandoned."
"Oh, oh, oh."
...
Xiao Chenye wasn’t aware that because of him, his mom almost got into a fight.
The oblivious little fool was circling Wen Ran, precisely showing off.
The Zhang Family might be a bit eager, but so what?
Xiao Chenye calmly thought, when it cos to looks, in these parts, he’s the best-looking.
Don’t think he hasn’t noticed, sotis Wen Ran stares at his face, lost in thought.
He used to think being good-looking wasn’t manly, but now...
Xiao Chenye absolutely loves the face his parents gave him.
It’s useful, really useful.
"Hey!" Wen Ran kicked him disapprovingly. "What are you thinking? Why are you spacing out?"
"Nothing," Xiao Chenye replied calmly. "I was thinking about what to bring for the hunting trip up the mountain in a couple of days."
Wen Ran: "..."
She teased, "What you’re thinking about is too far ahead. Instead of worrying about what to bring for hunting.
Why not help think about what we should bring when we deliver grain and pigs tomorrow."
"No need to bring anything. It’s not very safe on the way. Once we get there, the team leader will bring people out to stand in line, and we can wander around."
"Really?"
"Really!"
Wen Ran was instantly delighted. "That’s great."
Just thinking about those pigs soon being gone made Wen Ran too excited to sleep. Great!
No more feeding pigs.
Feeding pigs every day, she’s almost turned into pig feed herself.

Early the next morning, Wen Ran climbed out of bed on ti, splashed so cold water on her face to wake up, and then pocketed her stuff and strolled to the village entrance.
Halfway there, she t Xiao Chenye, "Hey? Why are you here?"
"Oh," Xiao Chenye smiled and handed Wen Ran two buns. "I was worried you weren’t awake yet, so I thought I’d co over to wake you.
Here! My mom’s happy and brought at buns. Try them."
"Mm-mm-mm!"
Wen Ran and Xiao Chenye were completely casual with each other. After spending so much ti together, constantly giving and receiving things, they couldn’t tell who was who anymore.
Just eat with your eyes closed.
Anyway, it’s deliciously fragrant.
They were sauerkraut and pork stuffed buns, and when bitten, the juice inside gushed out.
The ingredients were substantial.
Wen Ran took a big bite and muttered, "Did you eat?"
"I ate at ho."
"Alright!"
After finishing the two big buns, Wen Ran was full and had reached their destination.
The place was bustling, and Wen Ran saw there seed to be a commotion.
"Is that a quarrel happening in the front?"
Xiao Chenye, tall as he was, tiptoed to take a look and was sowhat uncertain, "It seems they are quarreling, maybe it’s the educated youths, they look a bit unfamiliar."
Wen Ran: "!"
Hmm~
If it involves the educated youths, she has to join in the fun.
She dashed into the crowd with precision.
"Why should we pay so much money?" Zhang Sisi was dumbfounded. "You’re extorting us!"
The team leader was impatient, "Why, you ask? We didn’t let the educated youths raise pigs, you didn’t agree, said we were not united, discriminating, dividing you.
Fine, we let you raise them, and distributed the strongest piglets to you.
And yet you managed to let them die. I never imagined that, at worst, you’d raise them skinny.
Even if soone wouldn’t accept them, they’d bring them back to eat, and they’d still be worth sothing. But you, you actually let them die.
Each piglet costs five bucks, and you think twenty-five bucks is too much of a fine."
The team leader was furious, especially with the arrogant attitude of the educated youths, feeling dizzy with anger.
"Well, we didn’t know!"
Zhang Sisi wanted to slap her thigh in frustration, "Anyway, we don’t agree. At most, we’ll reimburse the piglet’s cost, just five bucks, can’t be more."
"Get lost!" This ti, a woman stepped forward, angrily, "A bunch of shaless people, the team regularly had to give so coarse grains, occasionally so fine grains.
This is all money, it’s not blown by the wind. What, you took all the goods.
Raised pigs till they died, turned around and refused to pay, only compensating five bucks.
You educated youths, thinking you can bully rural folks at will, have gotten addicted?"
This rightly expressed everyone’s sentints, anger rising, making the educated youths speechless and finally intimidated.
They silently pulled out twenty-five bucks and ran off.
However, before leaving, led by Zhang Sisi, a few of them glared fiercely at Wen Ran who was in the crowd watching the fun.
Wen Ran: "?"
What’s up?
Are they twitching?
Zhang Sisi and the educated youths had very straightforward thinking, they blad Wen Ran.
If she had honestly swapped the educated youths’ pigs with the ones from the Xiao Family, they would have taken good care of the fat pigs.
Instead, they simply ignored them and let them starve to death.
Yes!
They firmly believed this is true!
The team leader didn’t notice these things, just clutching the money, feeling distressed and mumbling, "Those were the strongest piglets in the team."
Wen Ran saw this, being soone with a bad temper, hurriedly chased after Zhang Sisi and grabbed her, "Why are you glaring at ?"
"I want to glare at you, so I did, so what?"
"Slap~"
A crisp sound, Wen Ran calmly put her hand down, "Why are you looking? I want to slap you, so I did, so what?"
Returning the words verbatim.
"You..."
Zhang Sisi wanted to argue, but...
Now she’s scared; holding her face, she stomped her foot, "Wen Ran, mark my words, one day, I’ll make you pay for everything you’ve done to ."
Mrs. Li, initially enjoying the show, turned her gaze to Xiao Chenye, and imdiately rolled her eyes.
Screw the Xiao Family, what kind of people are they!
Humph!
All high and mighty, sooner or later they’ll have their downfall.
But...
Mrs. Li glanced around, "Where’s Lihong?"
Where’s her daughter gone?
ntioning the lazy, gluttonous, vain sister-in-law made Sister-in-law Li wrinkle her brows tightly, "I don’t know. Maybe she’s shirking again sowhere."
Mrs. Li: "..." Although she doesn’t like what this daughter-in-law says.
She must admit, it’s quite sensible; her daughter must be slacking off again.
Sigh, what a sha!
When will this child grow up?
