Chapter 338: Chapter 338 Unlucky Female Educated Youth 38_1

Wang Nan hastily packed her things, frequently coughing loudly.

Even though the Wang family didn’t want her to leave, seeing the severity of her cough, they could only give up on persuading her.

Wang Nan coughed continuously throughout the night, seriously disrupting their rest. If the children were to catch it, it would become a big problem.

So, Wang Nan packed efficiently, carrying a bundle that wasn’t very big, and remembered how she had arrived packed with large and small bags when she first returned to the city.

Wang Nan really wanted to give herself a good scolding, as she had never seen anyone sillier than herself.

No one was truly sincere with her, yet she insisted on being so foolish.

She carried her belongings downstairs and out the door, and upon meeting familiar neighbors, she simply said she was heading back to the farm.

She didn’t offer more explanations, nor did she contemplate how, without her clarification, the Wang family might twist the truth.

She no longer cared to manage so much. Did the thoughts of the neighbors around her matter to her?

The family she cared about acted like this, and that alone was enough to break her heart.

From the initial panic, the Wang family soon came to their senses. "Mom, my sister is just trying to scare us," the Wang Family Younger Sister quickly realized.

Soon, Eldest Brother Wang and the others also felt that the Wang Family Younger Sister’s words were not wrong. In their hearts, Wang Nan was always someone who would throw a tantrum from time to time.

Mother Wang, remembering Wang Nan’s occasional complaints, also felt that she should not be indulged, "Right, what you’re saying is correct. She should not be spoilt, otherwise she really will think she’s the only filial one in the family."

In Mother Wang’s heart, the most filial were the eldest son and grandson, followed by the other children and grandchildren.

As for Wang Nan, she was at the very bottom, especially with someone’s recent behavior, Mother Wang felt that her parental authority had been greatly disrespected.

Wang Nan herself was also stubborn, thinking that her family would certainly come after her.

However, she stood not far from home, thinking that if anyone came after her, she would definitely return.

But as her feet grew sore from waiting, not a single person came after her.

Wang Nan knew that no one coming out was the Wang family’s attitude, so she carried her luggage and didn’t look back as she headed to the train station, buying the earliest ticket to the farm.

At this moment, she was truly relieved that she had left herself some money. Had she not had any money at all, that would have been the real tragedy.

As Wang Nan boarded the train heading north, the Wang family just finished cooking and began their meal.

When Father Wang came home and didn’t see Wang Nan, and after hearing about what had happened from Mother Wang, he too felt that their actions were justified, "Right, we should teach this child a lesson."

"Otherwise, she’ll really think she’s so formidable."

The Wang family then began to fantasize that Wang Nan would want to come back but couldn’t just return anytime she wished; she had to recognize her mistakes first.

And in the eyes of the Wang family, admitting mistakes meant considering the price she would have to pay.

But they waited and waited until early the next morning, and still they did not see her figure.

Mother Wang panicked, "Where could that damned girl have gone?"

As the Wang family grew anxious, the mute elderly lady from downstairs came up and handed them a piece of paper.

Mother Wang took the paper with confusion and opened it to read, "That damned girl, she really, she really went back to the farm."

Mother Wang was so angry she could spit blood, because they had relied on Wang Nan to buy the New Year’s goods and had not made any purchases themselves.

There are only a few days left until the Spring Festival, and we need to pick up the pace. Otherwise, we won’t know how to entertain relatives, friends, and in-laws.

More importantly, queuing up to buy things is already troublesome enough, but where will the money come from to purchase New Year’s goods?

Mother Wang didn’t care that Dumb Aunt was still outside, and she closed the door directly. There were serious matters at hand, and it was time to start discussing them.

So, Dumb Aunt was left shut out, and she didn’t find it too strange.

On the way down, someone curious about how Dumb Aunt had gotten upstairs found out after a series of gestures that Wang Nan had already taken the train back to the farm yesterday.

This news surprised many people. She had just gotten home the day before, hadn’t even rested properly, and then turned around and went back to the farm?

What’s this all about? It really beats logic.

The Wang family members didn’t have the time to explain; they were too busy discussing what to do about the New Year’s goods.

Eldest Brother Wang and Second Brother Wang were quite straightforward: they had to work and had no time.

Eldest Brother Wang’s Wife and Second Brother Wang’s Wife even more so: they were busy taking care of the children and couldn’t go out.

The Wang family’s younger brother and sister didn’t expect that this matter would require them to step in; naturally, they were reluctant.

But there was no choice. Mother Wang was staring at them, clearly with the attitude that they dared not refuse, so the two had to agree.

They had people for purchasing New Year’s goods, and Mother Wang looked at her two elder sons, "As for the New Year’s goods, you name the price. How much will you contribute?"

"Don’t say you have no money. If it weren’t for your disdain, Nan wouldn’t have left." If it weren’t for the sake of her two grandsons, Mother Wang would have already scolded her daughters-in-law.

The two Wang brothers could only do so much; they knew it was impossible not to contribute. After much haggling, each family decided to fork out five yuan.

Because of this money, Eldest Brother Wang’s Wife and Second Brother Wang’s Wife had it in for Wang Nan. They had all decided that when Wang Nan got married, they wouldn’t expect any help from them.

The reactions of the Wang family’s younger brother and sister were also severe. Their dissatisfaction with Wang Nan grew by the day, and they felt it was time to teach Wang Nan a lesson.

At this moment, Wang Nan, who had just awoken on the train, gazed at the scene before her with some bewilderment. It soon came back to her that due to the fallout with her family, she had already taken the train back to the farm yesterday.

In a while, she should be arriving at the station, and once the train stopped, she would have to walk back.

At that moment, she couldn’t help but feel relieved, thankful that she didn’t have much luggage. Otherwise, she wouldn’t know how to return.

Despite appearing confident, she herself was baffled. She had always eaten in the cafeteria and didn’t know what to do once she got back.

Because of her usual meals in the cafeteria, and since stoves required ration tickets for purchasing, she had never considered the idea of cooking for herself.

Nevermind, stop thinking about it. Wang Nan felt that once she got there, she would surely find a way. Could a living person possibly starve to death?

Wang Nan, who had disembarked from the train since noon, didn’t arrive at the farm until the evening.

Wang Nan, who was still pondering how to solve the dinner situation, found that there were quite a few ’sent-down youths’ who hadn’t gone home.

To her surprise, the farm’s cafeteria was open, though the supply was limited and the time was short.

Knowing the cafeteria was serving food, Wang Nan immediately breathed a sigh of relief; at least she wouldn’t starve to death.

Not bothering to clean up, Wang Nan quickly grabbed her meal bowl and headed to the cafeteria to get food.

Zhao Aoran was also heading to the cafeteria to get food, and to pick some vegetables for himself. As for meat dishes, he could arrange that on his own.
