After chatting with Wen Li for a while, Wang Gong'an went to find Jiang Yue'er. Although no one was inquiring about her, he still needed to give her some instructions just in case.

Those human traffickers are really cunning. I'm afraid they're not taking it seriously and something unexpected might happen.

After everyone left, Wen Li handed the banner to the captain.

The captain was so happy that his eyes narrowed into slits.

"Haha, great, great, this year's advanced brigade title is a sure thing!"

Wen Li thought to herself: Forget it, Jiang Yue'er and the others are not exactly peaceful people, you'll have a lot of headaches to deal with next!

However, she didn't dampen the captain's spirits at this time; she wanted to let him be happy for a few more days!

After the commendation ceremony, the village returned to its usual tranquility.

Wen Li saw Niu Zhaodi asking Tang Shi for money several times, and not only that, she would also occasionally make sarcastic remarks about Tang Shi.

She became convinced that Tang Shi had deliberately slandered her, so her actions became increasingly outrageous.

Over time, Tang Shi's round face became much thinner.

Everyone saw what happened back then and knew that Tang Shi was a two-faced person, so no one spoke up for her.

Wen Li was delighted to see Tang Shi being entangled with Niu Zhaodi. Since she had done something wrong, she should be prepared to suffer the consequences.

Chen Yan: "Tsk tsk tsk, Niu Zhaodi's appetite is getting bigger and bigger. I just secretly followed her and took a peek, and she directly asked Tang Shi for thirty yuan!"

"Tang Shi is in a difficult situation. She doesn't dare offend me, and Niu Zhaodi has caught her red-handed. Let's see how long she can endure this!"

"I think it's going to be tough. The way Tang Shi looks at Niu Zhaodi is terrifying!"

Wen Li thought to herself, if Tang Shi were to fight to the death, then Niu Zhaodi would be in real trouble!

Not only will I have to return the money, but I'll also be criticized by everyone. If things really blow up, I don't know how I'll handle it.

The two had a love-hate relationship, which Wen Li stopped paying attention to. However, Wen Li saw Shu Yun and Jiang Chen talking together several times. The way Shu Yun looked at Jiang Chen could be described as affectionate.

Jiang Chen still had that deadpan expression, but it was clear that he didn't explicitly reject her approach.

The male lead's charm is truly irresistible!

Jiang Yue'er had been juggling between Qi Yang and Xiao Liang, but now that she saw Shu Yun by Jiang Chen's side, she immediately abandoned the two of them and became inseparable from Jiang Chen again.

This caused Qi Yang and Xiao Liang to be jealous of each other every day, and everyone watched the spectacle quite a bit.

Meng Zhou, on the other hand, has recently become quite familiar with Li Xiangxiang for some reason.

Li Xiangxiang has been on several dates this year, but none of them have worked out, so Aunt Lin has had to give up for the time being.

That day after work, Wen Li saw Li Xiangxiang and Meng Zhou walking together, chatting and laughing.

Wen Li followed at a distance, and even after Meng Zhou returned to the educated youth compound, Li Xiangxiang still looked at his departing figure with lingering reluctance.

Wen Li walked up to her and asked, "Does it look good?"

"It's beautiful!" Li Xiangxiang exclaimed, then realized something. "Xiao Li, you, you, you..."

"How dare you follow me?"

Li Xiangxiang's face turned bright red.

Wen Li looked at her meaningfully, "Tell me honestly, what's going on here?"

Li Xiangxiang looked around and, finding no one, shyly began, "I... I just thought Meng, the educated youth, was a really nice person. He didn't know how to do many things, so he gave me some candy and asked me to teach him. That's how we became friends!"

"Just friends, not dating?"

"Oh dear~ what are you saying? This is still far from certain!" Li Xiangxiang glared at Wen Li shyly.

Look at Li Xiangxiang's girlish, lovesick expression, isn't that clear she's fallen for someone?

A complex emotion flashed in Wen Li's eyes. Meng Zhou was like a fish in Jiang Yue'er's pond. He never married for Jiang Yue'er's sake, and even after his death, his inheritance would still belong to Jiang Yue'er's child.

It's not a good thing that Li Xiangxiang has fallen for Meng Zhou. If Meng Zhou hadn't fallen for Jiang Yue'er, it would be fine, but if he really did, Li Xiangxiang would be the one who gets hurt.

"And what about him? Does he have those kinds of thoughts?"

"He...he doesn't know I'm interested in him yet; he just sees me as a friend!"

Wen Li sighed. Seeing that Li Xiangxiang was already deeply infatuated, the reason why Li Xiangxiang listened to Wen Li on the last blind date was ultimately because she didn't really like him.

But now Li Xiangxiang's eyes are sparkling when she looks at Meng Zhou, and even if she tries to persuade him, she might not be able to stop him, especially since Meng Zhou hasn't fallen for Jiang Yue'er yet.

If she were to intervene, Li Xiangxiang might end up blaming herself.

"Xiangxiang, I think it's okay to like someone, but you also need to consider how that person feels. If it's just your one-sided feelings, you'd better back off as soon as possible!"

The blush on Li Xiangxiang's face gradually faded. "Xiao Li, do you also think I'm not good enough for Meng Zhiqing?"

"Of course not, Xiangxiang, that's not what I meant. I just think he's not good enough for you!"

Meng Zhou is actually a good match. He has a good temper and gets along well with everyone. He keeps his distance from the girls in the village who try to get close to him.

If he weren't one of Jiang Yue'er's fishpond, Wen Li would have encouraged Li Xiangxiang to bravely pursue her own happiness.

But he is Jiang Yue'er's fish, the kind who will never marry for Jiang Yue'er's sake!

Li Xiangxiang doubted that Wen Li was talking nonsense. "Huh? He's from the city, educated, and good-looking. You're saying he's not good enough for me?"

"I've seen him talking to Jiang Yue'er a few times, do you understand what I mean?"

Wen Li did see Jiang Yue'er trying to get closer to Meng Zhou, but the two just had a normal chat, so Wen Li wasn't making things up.

As soon as Li Xiangxiang heard Jiang Yue'er's name, she understood the meaning of Wen Li, and her restless heart gradually cooled down.

As she thought about it, her eyes gradually reddened.

"Waaaaah, why? Every man I fancy seems to like Jiang Yue'er!"

Wen Li was surprised that Li Xiangxiang burst into tears like that, and quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe away her tears.

"Alright, alright, I only saw them talk twice, it's not that serious, don't be so upset!"

"Really?" Li Xiangxiang immediately stopped crying.

Wen Li nodded, "Really, really, but don't get too involved. What if he really falls for Jiang Yue'er? Don't be too heartbroken!"

"Waaaah, isn't that obvious? How can I not be sad? Little Pear, you're so mean, ahhh!"

"What's wrong? Why is Xiangxiang crying like this?" Chen Yan walked over and heard Li Xiangxiang wailing like a fool.

Wen Li sighed, "Why don't you try to persuade her?"

After hearing the whole story, Chen Yan burst out laughing, clutching her stomach.

"Hahaha, Xiangxiang, did you dig up the Jiang family's ancestral graves in your past life? How come every man you meet seems to like Jiang Yue'er? Hahahaha!"

Li Xiangxiang was so enraged by Chen Yan's maniacal laughter that she couldn't cry anymore. "You, you're gloating?"
