Chapter 796 The Ugly Melon Eater of the Age 43

Finally, Xue Ran started to eat with Cao Yang and his friends, and their plan to renovate their house was approved.

Xue Ran and Cao Yang's houses were built next to each other, with a door in the middle yard so that the two families could visit each other conveniently.

This will also avoid other rumors, and this approach is similar to Wei Yadong and Su Yan's house.

The site they chose for their foundation was not far from the educated youth site, about a hundred meters away.

The team leader also took safety into consideration. He thought that the three of them could cook and eat together and renovate the houses together. Cao Yang and Chen Xin would build one room together, and Xue Ran would build another. With Cao Yang and Chen Xin next door, Xue Ran's safety would also be guaranteed, so he agreed.

Cao Yang and Xue Ran have already started building their houses, but there is still no sign of Wu Xia and Liu Hongjun's houses.

The two agreed to build a house after the snow melted, but now neither of them is willing to spend money to build it.

The two even had a fight over this.

Zhao Qin is the person who is most good at stabbing people in the heart. She sees that Cao Yang and Xue Ran’s house is built in a prosperous way.

Then he could not help but sarcastically said to Wu Xia: "Hey, when are you two going to build your house? It's not good for the couple to be separated all the time. It affects the relationship. Isn't your marriage the same as not getting married? Or do you have no money and your family doesn't support you at all?"

Wu Xia and Liu Hongjun had already announced that they were going to build a house, but they hadn't taken any action yet. Now that they were being ridiculed by Zhao Qin, they felt embarrassed.

Liu Hongjun said stubbornly: "I saw that they were busy helping Cao Yang and his team build the house, so I thought I'd wait a little longer and let them build first. It doesn't matter if we're a little late."

Wu Xia agreed and said that they were already choosing the foundation.

But after that day, Wu Xia started going up the mountain to collect herbs again.

Liu Hongjun also went to the town twice. Su Yan saw him go to the post office, probably to send letters home.

Su Yan guessed that he should be asking his family for money. After all, he had been here for more than a year and had not saved much money. He still had to spend money on a daily basis and had no other income. If he didn't ask his family, where would the money come from?

Su Yan's life was very ordinary. Occasionally, someone would come to her to ask them to prepare dishes for her, which became a source of income for her.

Others were jealous, but they had no skills and no ingredients, and no one liked the food they made, so they couldn't take away the business.

Apart from being good at making money, there is nothing else that people would envy about Su Yan. After all, she is not pretty and she is usually low-key. Most of the time, she is like an invisible person.

But even an invisible person like her was targeted by someone, and that person was none other than the newly arrived male educated youth Li Licai.

After May, Su Yan would occasionally go up the mountain to collect herbs.

Once, Wu Xia went with her to sell herbs. Wu Xia only made 3.80 yuan, while Su Yan made more than 30 yuan. She felt jealous again.

When they returned to the educated youth point, she told Su Yan how he was selfish and refused to take her to identify herbs, and how he deliberately left her behind when they were digging herbs.

She also specifically mentioned how much money Su Yan made this time. Others were very envious, but no one helped Wu Xia to condemn Su Yan. Everyone has a selfish side. Just because someone knows where the herbs are, why should he take you to dig them?

If it were you, would you be so selfless?

Most others were envious, but Li Licai had his own ideas.

He had always looked down on Su Yan, thinking that she was not pretty, usually taciturn, and not at all likable.

Li Licai has many brothers and sisters in his family, and his parents don't give him any financial support. It's considered good enough that they don't ask him for money to supplement the household expenses.

Since Su Yan can make money and is ugly, no one is willing to marry a woman like her. He feels that he is marrying above his station if he is worthy of Su Yan.

When it was time to plant rice seedlings, Li Li would often walk up to Su Yan and talk to her on purpose.

Li Licai: "Su Zhiqing, let's work together later. I like to work with people like you who work efficiently."

Su Yan looked at him suspiciously, and then said, "I don't like being in a group with someone like you who is weak and lazy. Don't even think about taking advantage of me or asking me to help you with work. No way."

Su Yan walked away with his head held high and chest puffed out, almost making Li Licai fall backwards with anger.

Li Licai hurriedly chased after him and explained, "Su Zhiqing, you misunderstood. I didn't want you to help me. I just thought that being in a team with someone as capable as you would increase my motivation."

Su Yan glanced at him, then said, "But I want to be in the same group with Wei Yadong. He works efficiently and can also improve my enthusiasm."

Li Licai: “…”

It was not until the end of work that Li Li walked up to Su Yan again.

Li Licai: "What a coincidence, Su Zhiqing, let's go back to the Zhiqing site together."

Su Yan said coldly: "What a coincidence, don't we all take this road when we go back?"

Li Licai: “Hehe…”

Several days later, Li Licai met Su Yan by chance on various occasions for various reasons and tried to talk to him.

Su Yan felt annoyed when he saw him. Is this guy sick?

Can't you see that she is already very impatient with him? She has no self-awareness at all.

Even the people at the educated youth site noticed some signs, and they asked privately whether Li Licai had taken a fancy to Su Yan.

Li Bin said: "Although Su Yanren doesn't look that good, she cooks delicious dishes and is capable. She is more than a good match for Li Zhiqing."

Song Moli said with a hint of sarcasm: "Li Licai has always been very self-righteous. How could he like Su Yan? I always feel that he is not that simple."

Huang Tong had the best relationship with her, so she naturally understood what she meant and sneered, "That's right, Su Yan is so capable, she can even go up the mountain to collect herbs to make money, who wouldn't want to marry such a good wife."

Huang Mei rarely said something fair: "I think Su Yan doesn't like Li Zhiqing. Many villagers wanted to match her up with someone, but Su Yan refused."

Li Bin added: "Maybe she looks down on rural people?"

Huang Mei was just about to say, there are high school students in rural areas, and there are illiterate people in cities, so don’t think too highly of yourself.

As a result, Li Licai came back and everyone tacitly changed the topic.

These days, Li Licai has been pursuing Su Yan diligently, but Su Yan has never given him a good look.

Li Licai felt a little frustrated and thought Su Yan was too ungrateful. With a girl like her, he was giving her face by trying to please her, but she actually acted like a fool in front of him.

Wait until he marries her in the future and then we’ll see how he deals with her.

Wu Xia also saw through his thoughts and thought to herself that if Su Yan married a fool like Li Licai, she would see what she would be proud of in the future.

Of course Wu Xia knew that Li Licai was just a poor boy with a pedantic mind, a bit of male chauvinism, self-righteousness and selfishness.

She knew this kind of person too well, so she took the initiative to ask Li Licai if he liked Su Yan.

Li Licai pretended to be shy and said, "Su Zhiqing is very hardworking and capable. I think she is very good."

Wu Xia didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "I can help you woo Su Zhiqing. If you two get married, don't forget to give me a big matchmaker red envelope."

"It hasn't even started yet." Li Licai continued shyly.

This means agreed.
