Chapter 1077: Chapter 1076: Endless Entanglement 6

Selling vegetables, especially those assigned as tasks, was crucial for the Wanglou Brigade. After all, accounts had to be kept, and the money had to be brought back for bookkeeping. Therefore, Wang Dachun was in charge himself. Upon seeing Wang Lingzhi dressed up so finely, his brows furrowed.

He had heard from his mother that the Wang Xinlai family intended to make Guan Cheng a live-in son-in-law, but Guan Cheng had flatly refused.

"Lingzhi, what nonsense is this? We’re here on serious business. Hurry back home. It’s not even dawn yet, and here you are, a girl, showing up in this place. Don’t your parents care about you?" Wang Dachun was angry, and his voice was a bit harsh, "Move aside, don’t block our convoy. If you cause a delay, I’ll take it up with your parents later!"

Wang Lingzhi stepped aside slightly but did not leave. Instead, she approached Guan Cheng with a bright and radiant smile on her face and took out a scallion pancake wrapped in gauze from her bag and handed it to Guan Cheng, "I made this especially for you, it’s still hot, eat it quickly."

Guan Cheng turned and switched places with a middle-aged man nearby.

Selling vegetables was a physically demanding task; loading and transport required their strength, so the convoy was composed exclusively of able-bodied young men, not the elderly.

The man who switched places with Guan Cheng was called Wang Chenglong. By hierarchy, Wang Lingzhi should call him elder brother. He said with a grin, "Wow, little sister is so kind? Here, let me taste your cooking skills."

"Who’s giving it to you? Who do you think you are?" Wang Lingzhi quickly withdrew her hand along with the scallion pancake.

Upon hearing this, Wang Chenglong became displeased, his smile cold and insincere, "If you’re not giving it to me, why are you getting close to me? A grown girl, and a high school student who has been educated, sitting among our men, aren’t you ashamed!"

Wang Chenglong had long disapproved of Wang Lingzhi.

She’s just a high school student, haughty as can be, always looking down on others.

In his father’s generation, among three brothers, there were no daughters; in his own generation, among three brothers and seven male cousins, still no daughters; in the next generation of his three sons and six nephews, twelve male cousins, still no daughters. It wasn’t until his wife gave birth to a plump baby girl that the entire family was thrilled. They asked Wang Zhengguo to name her Zha Zhu, meaning ’pearl in the palm.’

Zha Zhu grew up pampered by the family, never having known hardship, her nature innocent and straightforward. This naturally made other girls who were less favored due to the family’s preference for boys and thus led harsh lives dislike her, unwilling to play with her, often bullying her secretly, until Feng Qingyun’s arrival.

Feng Qingyun was a year younger than Zha Zhu but was smarter and more cunning, with a stronger personality. A few years ago, she scolded off a girl who tried to steal Zha Zhu’s belongings. From then on, Zha Zhu had been like Qingyun’s shadow, calling her "cousin" affectionately, and the two often went to school together, becoming as close as real sisters.

Wang Chenglong had two reasons for disliking Wang Lingzhi: firstly, she was the girl who tried to snatch Zha Zhu’s things; secondly, she called Zha Zhu a fool, an idiot, a simpleton behind her back, which eventually got back to Wang Chenglong.

In the Wanglou Brigade, the Lu Family and the Wang Family were two prominent clans; there were very few people with other surnames.

Wang Xinlai had originally been well-liked, but over the last few years, his younger daughter, Wang Lingzhi, had spoiled it all; those looked down on by Wang Lingzhi naturally gravitated towards the popular Wang Chenglong.

From the beginning to the end, Wang Lingzhi prided herself on being the only female high school student in the Wanglou Brigade, clueless that her popularity had plummeted to rock bottom.
