Wen Li was assertive, while Gu Xiangnan was a coward who bullied the weak and feared the strong.

Unable to win a fight or a verbal battle, he could only let out a frustrated snort, then limped back into the house, leaving Bai Wei alone to face the strange looks from everyone.

Watching Gu Xiangnan run off like that, Chen Yan couldn't help but spit out a curse, "Pah! What a lack of responsibility!"

Gu Xiangnan had already run away, and Bai Wei, that ultimate love-struck fool, followed him to the boys' dormitory.

Chen Yan's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. "She...she...that room was all occupied by male educated youth, and she just walked in like that?"

Now, the room where the boys live is occupied by only three new educated youths, and the other two also expressed their helplessness.

Sometimes, after work, they want to rest for a while but have nowhere to rest.

Bai Wei had no sense of propriety whatsoever. After work, she and Gu Xiangnan were all lovey-dovey in their room, treating them like family at all.

Those two people were shameless and wouldn't listen no matter how many times they were told. They were too embarrassed to go back, so after work they could only sit awkwardly in the yard.

Yan Su used to like wearing shorts to bed, but the day before yesterday morning, Bai Wei barged in to help Gu Xiangnan clean the house and tidy up his dirty clothes, which scared him so much that he has been sleeping wrapped up tightly for the past two days.

"Qi, that's our room. You should go and talk to Bai, and tell her not to go in so casually!"

Qi Jun also noticed this situation, but since the other two new educated youths didn't say anything, he couldn't interfere. Since Yan Su had spoken up, he naturally had to deal with the problem.

"I'll go talk to her right away!"

After Qi Jun led Yan Su and the others into the house, Wen Li looked at Niu Zhaodi.

"What did they argue about today?"

Niu Zhaodi munched on the melon seeds Wen Li had given her. "Bai, the educated youth, went to help Gu, the educated youth, tidy up the house. She found a silk scarf somewhere, and that's how they started arguing!"

Wen Li was so angry she laughed. It seemed she should have punched Gu Xiangnan, that crazy man, a few more times.

On Bai Wei's first day, Niu Zhaodi and the others liked her quite a bit, but after only a few days, they already dislike her.

It's clear how infuriating these two have been tormenting everyone lately.

Back in the backyard, Su Hao suddenly jumped out of the house.

"Wen, you beat up Gu Xiangnan?"

"Yeah, he wanted to use me to provoke Bai Zhiqing. I was being lenient with him!"

Su Hao was practically bursting with laughter. "Great! My chest doesn't feel so tight anymore!"

Wen Li brandished her fist in front of Su Hao's eyes. "People who like to act like jerks will never learn their lesson unless you beat them into submission!"

Su Hao shook his head in fright, "I don't hit girls!"

"What, is Gu Xiangnan a girl?"

Su Hao didn't understand Wen Li's meaning at first, but Deng Wei reminded him before he suddenly realized it.

"Yeah, I can beat up Gu Zhiqing!"

Deng Wei didn't think this method would work. Su Hao had liked Bai Wei before, and maybe everyone would think that Gu Xiangnan and Su Hao were fighting because of jealousy!

A short while later, Zhou Yu and Qi Jun returned together.

Qi Jun looked exhausted. He had never thought that being in charge was anything special; at most, it would just mean more miscellaneous tasks.

But after Bai Wei and the others went to the countryside, he felt like he had aged several years.

Reasoning with her didn't work, and a few harsh words made Bai Wei cry, as if someone was bullying her. It was a real headache!

"How was Gu, the educated youth?"

Zhou Yu's mouth almost stretched to his ears in a grin. "They're all just superficial wounds. Grandpa Wu prescribed him a bottle of mercurochrome!"

After this lesson, Bai Wei and Gu Xiangnan became much more obedient and dared not provoke Wen Li anymore.

Su Hao also avoided them, and since he couldn't find anyone to provoke the other, the two of them had fewer opportunities to argue.

Although it's still sticky and gooey, it's not as unpleasant as it used to be.

Wen Li sighed, "Indeed, bottom lines are meant to be broken!"

Given their ambiguous relationship, anyone else would have been drowned in public criticism long ago. Now that they've toned it down, everyone feels much better.

Chen Yan looked at the group behind her with sympathy. "As long as they listen to advice, that's good. Otherwise, I'm worried that Yan and Tang will lose their temper!"

Yan Su and Tang Qing went to Jiang Chen several times, wanting to rent his room, but Jiang Chen always disagreed. The two had no choice but to continue living in the front yard.

However, the two couldn't bear it any longer and simply hung a sign at the door that read "No Women Allowed".

Even if Bai Wei had the thickest skin, she couldn't bring herself to do that kind of thing.

As soon as Wen Li arrived at the field, she saw people repairing a house. "Huh? Why is Guo Caixia's house being renovated? Who wants to live there?"

"Aren't those Jiang Lao Er and Jiang Lao San? What are they doing there?"

"You don't know yet?" Aunt Wang asked with a gossipy expression.

"I don't know?" Wen Li and Chen Yan shook their heads directly.

"The village chief kicked Jiang Yue'er and Jiang Chen out and told them to go live over there!"

Wen Li and Chen Yan both found it hard to believe. "Really? Isn't Jiang Yue'er the village chief's favorite?"

"Who knows? Anyway, they've been arguing every day for the past few days, and quite a few people have heard it!"

Wen Li thought about it again and realized it wasn't impossible. It seemed that Jiang Laosan had taken her advice to heart that day.

Aunt Wang was right; Jiang Yue'er and Jiang Chen moved in the next day.

Jiang Chen recuperated at home for a while, and his injuries had long since healed, but a few faint scars remained, making him look even more gloomy.

It makes people subconsciously want to stay away from him.

Jiang Yue'er has become even more haggard lately, so thin that her cheeks are sunken and she looks unrecognizable, and her belly is alarmingly large.

"Only five months along!" Chen Yan sighed inwardly as she looked at Jiang Yue'er's belly.

Wen Li nodded. "It should be about right!"

"The child seems to be doing well, but Jiang Yue'er looks like she's been drained dry!"

It seems these genius babies won't be weak after birth. Given how much the village chief's family dotes on Jiang Yue'er, they definitely won't mistreat her.

Some babies absorb nutrients well, which weakens the mother's body; while babies don't absorb nutrients well, which causes the mother to gain weight. Jiang Yue'er clearly falls into the former category.

If things continue like this, even if Jiang Yue'er gives birth safely, she will probably suffer greatly.

Jiang Yue'er happened to see Wen Li playing with Chen Yan, glared at the two of them, and turned away with her pregnant belly.

"Hey~ what was her attitude?"

"Let's go, we still need to collect firewood in the back hill this afternoon!"

Ever since she caused so much trouble for the He family, Wen Li felt that the original owner's influence on her was diminishing, and now she could even remain calm when she saw Jiang Yue'er.

Wen Li was curious as to why the Zou family hadn't made a move. Did they really intend to swallow their anger?

She didn't think the Zou family were any kind people, unless they were waiting for an opportunity.

After much deliberation, Wen Li concluded that the only reason the Zou family would swallow their anger was because of He Juan.

He Juan is still pregnant with Zou Dazhuang's posthumous child, and their biggest concern right now is probably that unborn child.

If that's the case, the He family will be in big trouble once He Juan gives birth!
