Chapter 589: Counterattack Against the Original Female Lead 24
"That’s the heroine, the Heavenly Dao is watching." 178 instantly deflated, "Host, it seems we still need to make a move on Yan Hui."
"Got it. If I’d known the Heavenly Dao protects the heroine so much, I would’ve targeted Yan Hui from the start. Men, they’re all the same, eating from one bowl while eyeing the pot."
"178, I must marry Yan Hui. I won’t fail my mission." Wang Shufang confidently curled her lips, her gaze subtly sweeping over Yan Hui, then turned and headed to the Knowledge Youth Courtyard.
Cao Meng said, "Wang Shufang, the Wang family compensated you with a house. Will you live with the Wang family or at the Knowledge Youth Courtyard?"
"Where I live, what does that have to do with you?" Wang Shufang glared at her, "I’m a Knowledge Youth, can’t I live at the Knowledge Youth Courtyard?"
"I didn’t say you couldn’t live there. I just wanted to ask, since you don’t want to live with the Wang family, are you selling the Wang family’s house?"
"You want to buy it?"
Wang Shufang was slightly surprised. Cao Meng’s family’s situation wasn’t very good, where would she get the money to buy a house?
Cao Meng blushed slightly and said, "I’m marrying Zheng Jun in three days. Zheng Jun wants to build a house, but Yuan Chun and Yan Hui just finished building theirs and used up all the villagers’ stored adobe bricks. If we want to build, we’ll have to make new bricks and it would take over half a month with construction time. So, I’m thinking since the Wang family’s house was compensated to you and you don’t plan to live there, I thought Zheng Jun and I could gather some money to buy it."
Wang Shufang looked disdainfully at Zheng Jun and said, "Two hundred yuan, I’ll sell it to you for your wedding."
"What, two hundred yuan, Wang Shufang, you’re robbing us." Cao Meng’s face lengthened, "Yuan Chun and Yan Hui’s new adobe house only cost thirty yuan."
"You also said it’s an adobe house. The Wang family’s house is half brick, half adobe, and it’s four and a half rooms. The kitchen, pigsty, henhouse, everything’s ready, even the vegetable plot behind the house is ready-planted vegetables. Buying it is much better than building a new adobe house."
Wang Shufang sneered and glanced at Zheng Jun with disdain, "Zheng Jun, are you buying or not?"
Zheng Jun’s cheeks reddened, "Not buying. Cao Meng and I don’t have that much money."
Cao Meng chimed in, "Even if we had that much money, Zheng Jun and I wouldn’t buy it. I could spend such money on myself, wouldn’t that be better? If we bought the house, we couldn’t take it with us later."
Zheng Jun agreed with his girlfriend, "Yes, we’re Knowledge Youth. I trust the country won’t forget us; someday we’ll return to the city, and then this house will be cheap for the villagers."
"So we’re not buying. We’ll stay at the Knowledge Youth Courtyard, and once the new house is built, we’ll move out."
"Yes and yes, let’s go find the brigade leader and ask the villagers to make more adobe bricks. You mentioned wanting to raise a few chickens for eggs after marriage. Once we have our own house, we can do that."
"Let’s go, let’s go... I’ll go too."
Cao Meng and Zheng Jun went happily to find the brigade leader without looking back at the furious Wang Shufang.
Unable to contain her anger, Wang Shufang cursed, "Beggars, can’t even afford a 200 yuan house for marriage, why bother marrying at all?"
Yuan Chun sneered, "Cao Meng managed to build an adobe house at least, threw a banquet, and got a marriage certificate. You’re quick, completed the marriage and wedding night in one day."
"You..."
Before Wang Shufang could explode, Yan Hui took Yuan Chun’s hand lovingly and said, "Why bother talking so much to her, let’s go home and cook."
"Sure, I want to eat eggs."
The couple sweetly walked towards their new home.
Wang Shufang was livid, her face turning dark.
