Not long after Yunyi entered the spatial area, people passed by the outside of her courtyard in groups. "I heard these two small courtyards have been rented by the new educated youth."
"Should we come over to greet them tomorrow morning?"
"No need to make a special trip. They will have to start work tomorrow, and we can just greet them then."
"Who knows what these new educated youth are like? Let’s hope they’re not another bunch that’s difficult to get along with."
"Anyway, we don’t live together. If they’re hard to get along with, we’ll just keep our distance."
As their footsteps faded away, quiet returned to the outside of the courtyard.
Yunyi soaked in the hot spring, and every single cell in her body was reveling in comfort.
After drinking a cup of Spatial Well Water earlier, her body had expelled some gray impurities, which dissolved automatically upon her entering the hot spring. Looking at her skin, smooth as cream, she felt extremely satisfied.
Ever since she arrived in this era, she really hadn’t had a moment’s rest until now when she finally settled down temporarily.
Shi Jingfang looked at the packed luggage. "Wenhui, make sure you’ve securely stored your Money Coupons and documents. Once the backpack is on the car, it must not leave your side, remember that. When you’re away from home, be sure to stay safe at all times."
Ye Wenhui hugged her mother from behind. "Mom, I’m already so grown up. Don’t worry, I can take care of myself."
Suddenly, Shi Jingfang remembered something. "Right, I got some news today. Ye Wenjuan is also on the list for going to the countryside tomorrow. Your little aunt used your second grandpa’s connections to get her in."
Upon hearing this, Ye Wenhui exploded, "What? Doesn’t that mean I’ll end up in the same place as her? Why does this ghost refuse to leave me alone?"
Shi Jingfang tapped her daughter’s hand that was on her shoulder. "What are you talking about?"
Ye Wenhui’s mood soured instantly. "You have no idea how troublesome she can be. If I end up in the same place as her, there’s sure to be trouble."
Shi Jingfang didn’t like her niece Ye Wenjuan either. However, as an elder in the Ye Family, it didn’t seem right for her to speak ill of a younger family member. "Alright," she said, "the Agricultural Reclamation Group is so large, you might not end up together."
Ye Wenhui rolled her eyes. "I know exactly what she’s trying to do, but she’s mistaken this time. I’m not going to indulge her. She failed to harm Wen Yue, and now she wants to chase me down to cause trouble? She can dream on!"
Meanwhile, elsewhere, Ye Wenjuan looked at the packed luggage on the ground. "Mom, I’m going to the Northeast. Didn’t I tell you in advance to prepare thicker quilts?"
Zhang Baoxiang touched her nose awkwardly. "Take this set of bedding first. It’s still a while before it gets cold. When I have the new ones ready, I’ll send them to you."
Ye Wenjuan was visibly unhappy. "Can I even believe your words?"
Zhang Baoxiang grew angry at her daughter’s attitude. "What way is that to talk?" ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ NoveIＦire.net
Ye Wenjuan’s eyes reddened. "Mom, where are the cotton coupons for our home?"
Zhang Baoxiang was afraid her husband would find out about this. "Okay," she said, "I was wrong. I shouldn’t have lent out the coupons."
It was clear to Ye Wenjuan what had happened. "You sent the cotton coupons back to Grandma’s house, didn’t you?"
Zhang Baoxiang pulled her daughter. "Can’t you lower your voice? What if your father hears you?"
Ye Wenjuan looked very upset. "I just don’t understand why you always say yes to whatever my uncle and auntie want, leaving us to always come last?"
Not expecting such a confrontation, Zhang Baoxiang retorted, "Without your uncle and auntie, how would I have met your father? And where would you and your siblings be?"
Perhaps also angered, she stopped looking at her daughter’s sullen face and turned towards the kitchen, preparing to make a cup of Malt Essence to take to her son. In her heart, her son was still the most important.
