Chapter 116: Buying a Courtyard? How Bold!

~8 min read 1,495 words

"By the way, Nan Nan, I heard new Educated Youth are coming," Xie Yuanyuan said, thinking of the rumors in the village.

In truth, the villagers were not friendly toward the Educated Youth, but with the Captain standing in the way, everyone just kept to themselves and lived in peace.

"Let them come, it has nothing to do with us." An Yinan did not expect that her words would become a self-fulfilling prophecy, and it really did cause her a trouble that was neither small nor large.

In early May, the wind was gentle and the sun was bright; tree leaves were budding, green grass was sprouting, and the scene was one of flourishing vitality.

After An Yinan came down from the mountain, she saw two people lingering in front of her door; she did not recognize them.

An Yinan ignored the two, unlocked the door directly, and was about to enter the courtyard and close it.

"Hey, do you have any manners? Didn't you see me waiting here for you for so long?" The girl wearing a floral dress hurried over to pull An Yinan.

An Yinan dodged the other's hand and frowned, "What do you want?"

"I've taken a fancy to this courtyard of yours. How much?" the girl in the floral dress said.

Beside that girl, a girl in coarse work clothes, who was somewhat sturdy and looked a bit timid on the face, still blocked the front of the girl in the floral dress.

"Not for sale!" An Yinan was speechless. Where did this lunatic come from? Did she throw away her brain when she was born and grow up with the placenta inside her skull?

"What is wrong with you? I'll give you money, one hundred yuan? Two hundred yuan! I've asked around, it only cost a few dozen yuan to build this courtyard of yours. Two hundred is enough; it's enough for you to build a bigger one. Don't be too greedy." The girl in the floral dress looked at An Yinan as if she were looking at a woman who was never satisfied.

An Yinan was so angry she laughed, "Who are you? Keep that two hundred yuan for yourself. There's a hospital in the County, go get your brain checked properly. If you're sick, stay in your room; coming out to scare people is your fault!"

As she spoke, An Yinan took another step forward, "Don't mess with me; I'm afraid you can't afford the consequences."

When An Yinan took a step forward, the girl blocking the front of the girl in the floral dress stretched out her arm, wanting to push An Yinan away.

She didn't expect that the extended arm would be gripped by this thin, weak girl in front of her, and intense pain radiated from her wrist.

"Ugh..." the sturdy girl let out a muffled groan.

The girl in the floral dress widened her eyes and hurried over from the front, "Let go, let go of Zhuangzhuang, I won't buy the house anymore, hurry up and let go."

The young girl reached out her hand, wanting to pull An Yinan away.

The girl called Zhuangzhuang, however, spoke up, "Huanhuan, don't move, stand behind."

An Yinan looked at the two girls who were so sisterly; this girl in the floral dress still had some redeeming qualities.

"Get lost, stay away from me... and my house. I'm afraid stupidity is contagious!" An Yinan released the sturdy girl's hand and looked at the girl called Huanhuan.

"Oh, right, whoever told you to come buy my house, you should go and ask around what she has done."

"Also go ask around in the village why I moved out. Think it over before you come looking for me again."

"Silly girl." An Yinan's smile was thick as she waved at the two people with ugly expressions.

The two Educated Youth who arrived yesterday knew even how much it cost to build her house; there was no need to guess whose little schemes were at work.

Heh, it's spring; are some people's schemes about to be rekindled?

Liang Huan and Liang Zhuang.

They both had the surname Liang, but they were not related. Liang Zhuang was picked up by Liang Huan when she was a child, and from then on, Liang Zhuang was given the Liang surname.

Although Liang Huan was full of stifled anger—she had never suffered such treatment since she grew up.

"Huanhuan, what do we do?" Liang Zhuang asked.

Liang Huan had had enough of living in the Educated Youth Dormitory; let alone a single room, she could hear others grinding their teeth and talking in their sleep every night, and she felt like she was going crazy.

"Go to the village." Liang Huan thought of An Yinan's words just now; although she was willful, she was not a fool.

The person called An Yinan just now was clearly implying something.

"Still going to the village?" Liang Zhuang was a bit scared after what just happened.

"Yes, we're going to the village. I want to know why this An Yinan was able to build a house and live in a courtyard by herself." Liang Huan snorted coldly.

The two of them went straight to the village.

At this moment, in the female Educated Youth dormitory of the Educated Youth Courtyard, Wang Chunmei looked at Sun Xiaoqin, who was applying Snow Cream, "Aren't you afraid she'll find out?"

Others had moved out of the big dormitory, and after the two had been getting along for these days, although they were not like before, they were no longer glaring at each other.

"She find out? Find out what?"

"Isn't An Yinan living in a big courtyard by herself? Didn't she spend a few dozen yuan?"

"Heh, I didn't lie to them. They're stupid and believed it themselves. What does it have to do with me if there's any trouble?" Sun Xiaoqin carefully groomed her face, and a few blushes flashed across her face at the thought of Er Gouzi, who helped her with her work.

But who would have thought that as soon as the words left her mouth, Liang Huan and Liang Zhuang heard it all clearly outside the door.

Sun Xiaoqin felt a bit guilty, "Educated Youth Liang is back?"

Liang Huan thought of what the villagers said: why did An Yinan move out? Because this thing in front of her bullied her younger brother.

She was arrogant and domineering, but she wasn't low enough to bully a child.

She was a bit willful, but she had her own bottom line.

Using her as a gun? What did Sun Xiaoqin think she was?

"Zhuangzhuang, beat her." As soon as Liang Huan finished speaking, Liang Zhuang stepped forward, immediately grabbed Sun Xiaoqin's hair, pulled it back, and then slapped her twice on the right hand. Sun Xiaoqin's face, which she had just carefully groomed, immediately became red and swollen.

Although Liang Zhuang's strength could not compare to An Yinan's, it was more than enough to deal with a Sun Xiaoqin who had no strength to truss a chicken.

"Liang Huan, you have no brain of your own and were willing to be used as a gun by me, so why are you acting all high and mighty now?"

"If you hadn't asked, I wouldn't have told you who was in the back courtyard."

"You got angry yourself, so why are you taking it out on me?"

"This is the Educated Youth Courtyard, not your Liang family's backyard." Sun Xiaoqin's eyes were red, and she looked at Liang Huan like a madwoman.

She had seen people like Sun Xiaoqin, and she had seen quite a few.

"Zhuangzhuang, it's so noisy." Liang Huan didn't bother with Sun Xiaoqin at all, fearing it would affect her status.

Liang Zhuang slapped her twice more. Wang Chunmei stood far away and did not get involved at all.

She was not a brainless person like Sun Xiaoqin; she had only hit An Xiangbei once back then and was dealt with so severely by An Yinan. She couldn't afford to provoke her, so couldn't she just hide?

Sun Xiaoqin popped out at this time and was dealt with by Liang Huan before she could even be dealt with by An Yinan. Looking at Sun Xiaoqin's red and swollen face, even if Wang Chunmei had any little schemes, they were now wiped clean.

Liang Zhuang did not hold back any strength in these four slaps. After asking around the village, the grudge between An Yinan and Sun Xiaoqin was clear as day.

Looking at the disdainful gazes of the villagers, the anger of being used as pawns flared up in them bit by bit.

Just as they returned to the Educated Youth Courtyard, the two, who wanted to clarify things, heard Sun Xiaoqin's theory about fools.

Giving her face would mean that Liang Huan had spent these ten-plus years as a young lady for nothing.
