Chapter 301: Chapter 301 Unlucky Female Educated Youth 1_1

Hearing the red songs in her ears, Zhang Yu felt such a splitting headache and wondered what was going on. Could it be a child not letting her rest properly?

No, this was definitely not at home. She was just about to open her eyes, she caught a whiff of an unpleasant, somewhat fermented smell.

She also heard the sound of train tracks. Alright, Zhang Yu knew she must be on a mission again.

Even without opening her eyes, she knew which era she had arrived in; it must be that fervent era.

She had just completed a mission in that era, so why hadn’t the map changed this time?

Even though she felt like cursing someone out, Zhang Yu still knew she needed to accept the storyline first. Otherwise, upon waking up knowing nothing, wouldn’t she be utterly confused?

She quickly received the plot information, and Zhang Yu could only say that the original protagonist really had terrible luck. She’d done nothing wrong, yet because of her friend, she went to the countryside and ended up marrying the male supporting character who admired the female lead.

One might say she was the stepping stone for the female lead for her entire life, the kind that doesn’t even leave bone scraps behind.

Zhang Yu sighed lightly, thinking to herself that friends do have better luck; her parents treated her well, and her in-laws were grateful she stood by the man through tough times, treating her exceedingly well.

Some people have such good fortune that opportunities come knocking on their door without them having to do anything at all.

Others have such terrible luck that, despite doing nothing wrong, they just keep hitting a streak of misfortunes.

Of course, in Zhang Yu’s view, this was determined by the original protagonist’s personality. Since she had grown up without parents, raised by her grandparents, she was very soft-hearted.

She was the type that everyone thought would agree to anything, to the point where they didn’t even need to consult her; they just made arrangements directly.

Even though the original protagonist was dissatisfied, her temperament also made it impossible for her to say no.

Too bad it’s her now – and she would definitely not be like the original protagonist.

Zhang Yu, or rather, the current her, who was Huang Lei, had just opened her eyes and saw Wang Nan and Fan Xiaofei whispering to each other, heads close together.

Zhao Aoran was staring at the two beside him with an unpleasant expression. Huang Lei’s lips curved up slightly; a party of three could indeed be quite lively.

The original protagonist was really unlucky: her husband didn’t love her, the in-laws didn’t like her, and they treated Wang Nan better than they treated the original protagonist, their daughter-in-law.

She just didn’t know if they would still treat Wang Nan well upon discovering that it was Wang Nan, not the so-called suitable lady, who ruined the Zhao Family’s plans and made Zhao Aoran unwilling to marry her.

For a family as calculating as the Zhao Family, this was a major event. They definitely wouldn’t be giving Wang Nan any friendly looks.

If the Zhao Family treated Wang Nan poorly, would Zhao Aoran be able to tolerate it? Surely, he would make a scene, considering he was a loyal ’lapdog’.

The more Zhao Aoran made a fuss, the worse the Zhao Family would treat Wang Nan, creating a spiral of increasing animosity and eventually entering a vicious cycle.

As time went on, would the Zhao Family still be able to consider Zhao Aoran a family heir to groom? Although his qualifications were the strongest in this generation of the Zhao Family.

But a person who disregards the interests of the Zhao Family is not a suitable heir, not a leader for the clan – how could he lead the Zhao Family?

At that moment, she felt hungry and thought about pulling out some food from her pocket, then thought better of it and decided against it.

During the trip, they had been eating the food that Huang Lei brought with her. Despite this, they still thought she hadn’t brought enough food.

As time passed, more and more people on the train began to eat the dry food prepared by their families.

Huang Lei’s expression turned somewhat awkward. She had insisted on becoming an educated youth against her family’s wishes, even arguing with them about it, so they didn’t prepare anything for her.

Ever since the Fan Family encountered trouble, Fan Xiaofei’s family had fallen on hard times, and they hadn’t prepared anything for his journey as an educated youth either.

Zhao Aoran also left on bad terms with his family and hadn’t prepared anything apart from bringing some money.

After waiting for a while, Wang Nan noticed that Huang Lei hadn’t made any move. "Xiao Lei, didn’t you bring any food?"

"I brought a few steamed buns, which is just enough to last me through a day on the train," Huang Lei thought about it and realized it was impossible to say she hadn’t prepared any food.

But there was no need to take out the eggs and dried meat if not necessary.

Huang Lei took out a few steamed buns and looked around, "What about your food?"

"That, that..." Zhao Aoran saw Huang Lei just take out a few steamed buns and looked disdainful.

Seeing this food, Wang Nan also looked displeased, "That, this..."

The original holder of the body wouldn’t have invited them, but Huang Lei, having replaced the ’core’, didn’t feel embarrassed at all.

After all, it would just lead to complaints, "Didn’t you prepare any food?"

Huang Lei looked at the food in her hand, "That, my grandparents didn’t prepare much, just enough for myself."

"And judging by your expressions, you don’t seem too fond of it either. Why don’t you go check in the dining car to see if there’s food available?"

"And you don’t even need a ticket," Huang Lei added.

Humph, giving them food was absolutely impossible, since it’s not like they don’t have money on them.

Later, when everyone arrived at the farm, the three of them would go to the headquarters to improve their meals and never included the original holder.

Huang Lei left one steamed bun for herself and put the rest into her bag. Zhao Aoran hated eating steamed buns and felt that, at the very least, there should be something else to go with them.

But Huang Lei’s blunt refusal to share left Zhao Aoran truly angry.

Standing up abruptly, "Let’s go. We’ll go eat in the dining car."

It’s just money, after all, and he was not without it.

Wang Nan and Fan Xiaofei, upon seeing the food Huang Lei brought out, were also somewhat dissatisfied, particularly when she said there wasn’t any for them.

However, they were better at controlling themselves and did not vent their feelings. They felt a slight relief when Zhao Aoran suggested eating in the dining car.

Wang Nan felt it wasn’t befitting for her, as a young woman, to follow along, despite their friendship. "Xiao Lei, we..."

Huang Lei held up the steamed bun in her hand, "I have food, I won’t be joining."

Daring to join that meal would only lead to Zhao Aoran’s scorn.

On closer consideration, although her circumstances were not as good as the Zhao and Fan families’, she didn’t go out of her way to ingratiate herself or take things from them.

But they looked down on the original holder from their very bones, after all, with no remarkable qualities, the original person was invisible to Zhao Aoran and the others.

Their good relationship with the original host was only because of Wang Nan.

Huang Lei considered it for a moment and quickly figured out a way to distance herself from them, which was to maintain a distance from Huang Nannan.

Whether it was Fan Xiaofei or Zhao Aoran, they probably wouldn’t bother with the original holder. Thinking this, Huang Lei couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Getting too close to them never did any good; it was better to keep a distance.

Wang Nan and the others were unaware of Huang Lei’s thoughts. When they arrived at the dining car, they found that the braised pork was sold out, and there was only braised fish and some vegetables left.

The three briefly discussed it, mainly following Zhao Aoran’s preferences since he was currently the wealthiest among them.

Zhao Aoran quickly ordered the meal according to his and Wang Nan’s tastes, completely ignoring the dishes Fan Xiaofei liked.

This made Fan Xiaofei feel quite upset, but he had no choice as he no longer had the luxury of being willful.
