Chapter 36, Episode 0036: The more miserable the two are, the funnier they become.
The four people who had been lying on the ground breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at their bountiful harvest with simple, honest smiles.

"At least we won't go hungry this year."

"That's right, not only will we no longer go hungry, but we can also send some home."

"Oh dear, please don't mention sending it home, I don't like hearing that." The person who said this was Zhang Ze.

Lin Yuexi was making honey water in the main room when she heard this and looked over in confusion: There's some big news here!
As Leng Xingran entered the main room, she saw her younger sister's eyes sparkling with golden light and immediately knew that she had smelled the melon again. She quickly gave her a look that said, "Don't be impatient."

Leng Xingran: I'll tell you after they leave.

Lin Yuexi: Okay, okay.

Leng Xingran helplessly carried out four enamel cups in one go: Who would have thought that his sister, who was as beautiful as a fairy, was actually a fanatical gossip enthusiast.

As Ren Yan peeled chestnuts, she asked, "Didn't you have enough to eat in previous years?"

The way she described it made her a little scared.

Zhang Ze and Xu Zhichuan exchanged a glance and both gave a wry smile.

Zhang Ze: "The three of us came here to work in the countryside the year before last. When we arrived, it was already winter, and everyone was hibernating. We borrowed our three months' worth of food rations from the brigade."

The brigade could not lend out much grain, just enough to keep people from starving. By then, the period of gathering mountain produce had passed, and even going to the city to buy grain was extremely difficult for people from Daxuefeng Mountain.

They managed to exchange some grain and mountain produce with the villagers, which allowed the three of them to survive the winter.

“We did work a year last year, but we’re not cut out for it. When the year-end work points were calculated, after all the deductions, we only received less than 200 jin of grain together.”

Lin Yuexi: Awesome!

Ren Yan: What a waste of those two big guys.

Zhang Ze and Xu Zhichuan are both the kind of people who look strong and capable. They both have the most popular square faces right now, one is a little more square and the other is not so square.

Anyway, it doesn't seem like they would be unable to earn their own food.

Perhaps sensing the disdain the two girls present had for them, Zhang Ze and Xu Zhichuan both felt somewhat uncomfortable, but... they would rather die than reveal the real reason, that would be even more embarrassing.

Since the topic of camels had already come up, Leng Xingran stopped trying to hide it for them and chuckled, "What do you mean they're not cut out for work? Those two idiots got tricked and wasted their big heads."

The two ladies' starry eyes immediately focused on Leng Xingran.

Tell me quickly!

Zhang Ze and Xu Zhichuan wanted to stop him but didn't dare. Ran Ge's punches were really solid, and he was really ruthless. Although he didn't use them on them, they were still afraid.

“Grandpa Xu and Grandpa Liu Bingyan talked about arranging a marriage between their children when they were young. Grandpa Xu and his family didn’t take it seriously and just thought it was a joke. But the Liu family took it seriously, and Liu Bingyan has treated Grandpa Xu as her own possession since she was a child.”

The three of them were classmates. Although they lived in different environments, they were kindred spirits and had been good friends since junior high school. They even knew how many holes were in each other's tea leaves.

"Old Xu's mother..."

Leng Xingran nodded her head with a complicated expression: "She was determined to make Lao Xu marry Liu Bingyan. Before, she didn't dare to do anything because of Grandpa Xu, but when Grandpa Xu fell ill before we went to the countryside, she immediately arranged for Liu Bingyan and Lao Xu to go to the countryside together."

Lin Yuexi and Ren Yan both wore the same expression as Leng Xingran: What the hell is wrong with her?! This is the ultimate example of someone ruining their child's life!
"Liu Bingyan always used the fact that she was sent to the countryside by Lao Xu's mother to make a fuss. She basically didn't go to the fields for a year, and when she did, it was just for show. She didn't earn any work points and was often penalized. When she ran out of money, coupons, and grain, she would ask Lao Xu for more. If he didn't give her enough, she would write to Aunt Sun, and then Aunt Sun would write back to scold Lao Xu."

Liu Bingyan is extravagant with money, typical of someone who doesn't care about things that aren't hers, even casually giving away half a pound of White Rabbit milk candy.

Even in Beijing, let alone in a rural area, no one would dare to do something like this!

Zhang Ze added with dissatisfaction, "It's clearly Liu Bingyan on the list of people to be sent to the countryside, while Lao Xu has a job in Beijing."

However, because of Xu's mother's actions, Xu Zhichuan found himself in a difficult position. Moreover, the Xu and Liu families were related by marriage; Xu's mother and Liu's mother were cousins, and it was said that Liu's mother had even saved Xu's mother's life when they were children.

This has led to the current situation where Xu Zhichuan is starving while Liu Bingyan is living the life of a pampered young lady in the countryside.

Leng Xingran didn't let Zhang Ze off the hook either, "Old Xu was already a scumbag, but Aze was even worse. His grain was stolen. I told him to hide the grain properly, but he didn't listen and just left it open in the kitchen. After a whole night, people were kind enough to leave him a hundred catties of sweet potatoes."

If he doesn't go hungry, who will?
Zhang Ze weakly retorted in a low voice, "I was just too tired at the time."

I thought I'd lie down for a bit and then get up to tidy up, but I ended up sleeping until dawn, and then the food was gone.

Lin Yuexi's lips curved into a wide smile that she couldn't suppress, while Ren Yan laughed so hard she clutched her stomach and squatted there for a long time before she could recover.

These two are clearly in a terrible situation, so why are they so funny?!

Xu Zhichuan and Zhang Ze both shrank back silently, trying to minimize their presence.

How shameful! So shameful!

Once Ren Yan had calmed down and stopped laughing, Lin Yuexi, considering that Xu Zhichuan was a good friend of her third brother, reminded her to ask, "Does Brother Xu's father know about these things?"

Xu Zhichuan, his ears reddening, stared at the dog with bewildered eyes and shook his head: "What does this have to do with my dad?"

His father was the vice president of Peking University, who devoted himself to teaching and nurturing students, vowing to dedicate his life to cultivating national talents!
Besides, even people like his father have to be careful with their words and actions these days, so how could he bother his father with such trivial matters?!
Everyone present reacted with: "...!!!"

Are you out of your mind?

Zhang Ze angrily shoved a large bag over Xu Zhichuan's head: "I always thought your dad was clueless, but it turns out he was completely unaware. How dare you interfere with your mother's affairs? You're just paying for the debts your mother owes, just like what's happening now."

“If you want to get out of this mess, your dad needs to know about this. He needs to keep an eye on your mom and the Liu family as well. Your dad is the vice president of Peking University, after all; he can’t possibly be incapable of this.”

If you didn't even think of that, you really deserve to be almost driven to the brink of despair by those two women.

Leng Xingran nodded: "Unless you always want to be a sucker and starve yourself to fatten up others during your time in the countryside."

Ren Yan chimed in, "That's right, that's right. Unless you've already decided to marry her, what kind of person would support another person indefinitely? It's not like you told your mom to send her to the countryside. If she has no money or food, she's supposed to go to your mom. If you don't give her any, are you going to try and steal it from her?"

It would be even better if she dared to actually try and steal it; we could just grab her and send her to the farm.

This time, apart from Lin Yuexi, everyone else was quite upset and directed their anger at Ren Yan: This girl's values ​​are seriously questionable!

But why does it sound so cool?

Could it be that their values ​​are also flawed?
Xu Zhichuan, the person involved, was deep in thought, seemingly considering the feasibility of Ren Yan's opinion.
