Chapter 347: Chapter 347 Unlucky Female Educated Youth 47_1

Wang Nan had thought that Zhao Aoran, having renounced his own family, would surely be tempted upon suddenly learning about her family connections.

Yet, to her complete surprise, Zhao Aoran’s thoughts were entirely different. "Her family has connections on the big courtyard side."

"Don’t you want to..." Wang Nan had wanted to imply that since they were on good terms, wouldn’t he like to take advantage of that relationship somehow?

Zhao Aoran looked at Wang Nan with displeasure. If he didn’t know why Wang Nan had sought out Huang Lei, he would indeed be a complete fool.

"Do you have to have connections at the big courtyard just because you work at its hospitality house?"

"Everyone knows that Grandpa Huang’s cooking is delicious; the big courtyard hospitality house had brought this up before, but Grandpa Huang declined."

"That’s right. You wouldn’t know about this since you and Fan Xiaofei have broken up."

Zhao Aoran was beginning to find Wang Nan increasingly narrow-minded and calculating. He truly couldn’t understand what he saw in him before.

"Those two have been in touch all along. It was Fan Xiaofei who informed about Grandpa Huang’s job change," someone chimed in.

What? Zhao Aoran was stunned by this revelation and looked at the speaker in amazement.

Then, turning to the nodding crowd, he couldn’t help but tap his forehead, "Wang Nan, oh Wang Nan..."

He knew that Wang Nan wasn’t the brightest bulb, but surely, she should know some basic social etiquette, some rules, right?

Yet, to his astonishment, she had actually blurted out Fan Xiaofei’s letter in front of so many people.

With so many people present, who knew how the news would spread, let alone who might contact the Zhu Family in the end.

Once the Zhu Family got wind of it, one could predict that Fan Xiaofei, whose life was already quite mediocre, would only see things go from bad to worse.

Forget it, why should he care if this fool is courting death? Is it any of their business?

Fan Xiaofei was writing letters to Wang Nan, trying to create discord and calculate against Huang Lei.

Anyone who had been a sent-down youth would know that life on the farm was truly hard, and everyone longed to return to the city.

Suddenly, he realized that among the people he knew, there were those who kept their skills hidden, potentially causing significant trouble.

Having been at the farm for so long, he had heard of many schemes and wondered if someone might be waiting to target Xiao Lei.

"I know you’re foolish, but I never imagined you could be so incredibly foolish."

"You originally became a sent-down youth for Fan Xiaofei, yet now you’re suffering here while he has turned tail and gone back to the city to work a job."

"You’re living such a hard life here." Zhao Aoran gave Wang Nan a sweeping look, "Look at you, what you were like when you first arrived at the farm, and what you’re like now."

"You’re enduring such hardship, yet how come Fan Xiaofei doesn’t seem to care about you at all?"

"And yet when he wants to use you, he really spares no courtesy in doing so."

Zhao Aoran was anything but polite as he spoke, "The Zhu Family wants to target Grandpa Huang but doesn’t have a way to retaliate."

"Fan Xiaofei wants to use you to spread some bad news. If anything happens to Xiao Lei eventually, it won’t be associated with the Zhu Family or Fan Xiaofei."

"But have you thought it through? Grandpa Huang and his wife have only Huang Lei as their granddaughter. If something happens to her, do you think they won’t come after you?"

"Do you think Fan Xiaofei will help you then?"

"Of course, you could do as Fan Xiaofei does and spread the news. Eventually, someone will trouble her."

"It will be unrelated to you just the same, but remember, Wang Nan, there are always traces when you do certain things."

As Zhao Aoran spoke, he watched Wang Nan closely. Judging by her ever-changing expressions, he was certain that this must be the thought process that led Wang Nan to approach Huang Lei.

Damn, Huang Lei really wanted to curse out loud, she had never seen someone so outrageous, "Wang Nan, you really are..."

"I admit our relationship has deteriorated, we are no longer friends, but I never schemed against you."

"We are like water from different wells not offending the river, yet you, you still want to screw me over like this."

"Wang Nan, you really are too cunning. Is it just because you ran into me buying stuff before the Spring Festival, and I didn’t give you any, that you’re treating me this way?"

"Or was it at the canteen when you said the meat was tasty, and I didn’t share it with you?"

"Or every time we get paid, you mutter in front of me about your heavy family burdens, about your younger brothers and sisters needing to go to school, and two more nephews being added to the family, didn’t I give you money?"

"Or is it because I advised you that, even if you want to take care of your maternal family, you shouldn’t neglect yourself?"

Huang Lei took a deep breath, "Forget it, I understand now, from now on, I won’t give such advice anymore."

"It’s your life, you can live it however you want."

Huang Lei sniffled and then picked up her hoe to continue working.

Zhang Xia glanced at Huang Lei, then at Wang Nan, "You really are a malicious person."

"If we weren’t friends, if I weren’t worried about whether your body could take it, who would advise you?"

"It’s such an ungrateful world." Zhang Xia went over to work beside Huang Lei.

Wang Nan’s roommate saw that she was once again not working in the assigned area, and fuming, came looking for her, unsurprisingly finding her stirring up trouble once more.

"Wang Nan, can’t you live a day without stirring up trouble?"

"All day long you’re not stirring up this, you’re stirring up that, turning the dorm into a den of resentment."

The person just grabbed Wang Nan and dragged her away, not caring whether this made Wang Nan feel even more exhausted.

She just knew that she had to drag this person back, "Always skiving off, always stirring trouble, really, how did I end up being roommates with someone like you."

"How did I end up working in the same group as you."

The more the person thought about it, the angrier they got, "With all the trouble you cause, it’s only right that you be sent to pick up manure."

Of course, those who enjoyed a commotion took sides, some felt Wang Nan was not good, always causing discord, while others felt Zhao Aoran was going overboard, being so petty with a girl.

Hearing what her own roommate had to say, getting so angry as to send her to pick manure, it was clear she must have done quite a few infuriating things.

At that moment someone said, "Last time the cafeteria served meat, this person was right beside me, staring at me eating meat, nonstop saying how delicious the meat looked and how much she wanted some."

"You’ve encountered it too, so have I." Someone cried out in surprise.

"I encountered it as well, I just pretended not to hear and moved somewhere else to continue eating."

"Yes, we only get meat a few times a month, finally getting to improve the meal—why should we give it to her?"

"If she really wanted it, couldn’t she just buy it herself?"

"You know, during the Spring Festival, she didn’t take two days off before rushing back on New Year’s Eve."

"I thought she had a fight with her family, but these past two months, she’s been sending money home again."

"Ah, she skimps on food and drink, sends the money to her family, and then expects us to look after her?"

People felt genuinely disgusted, and took the opportunity to mention that the relationships in Wang Nan’s dorm were bad, and things often went missing.

Someone blurted out, "Are you sure she’s not the one taking them?"

"Exactly, if she can blabber on in front of strangers she doesn’t know, it’s not out of the ordinary for her to take advantage of people she is familiar with."
