Chapter 12: Chapter 12 Eager to Poach a Good Friend’s Corner Chapter 12: Chapter 12 Eager to Poach a Good Friend’s Corner She liked Brother Weimin, the kind of liking that was special, but… but Brother Weimin didn’t like her, he liked her good friend Li Bao, which made her feel terrible whenever she thought about it.
Therefore, she was jealous of Li Bao and wanted to break off their friendship, yet she couldn’t let go of the kindness Li Bao had shown her.
Yes, Li Bao was genuinely kind to her, treating her as a close friend with whom she could share anything, and she was so pure that she was almost a bit silly.
Little did she know that she was only being used by her… to gain advantages for herself.
For instance, Li Bao often gave her tasty treats.
Another example: the Team Leader, seeing that she and Li Bao were good friends, would assign her tasks like cutting pig grass or drying grains when it was time to work…
In short, from childhood to adulthood, by being friends with Li Bao, she had lived a better life than her sisters at home and even many girls in the village who were deemed “worthless.”
But at the same time, she felt it was profoundly unfair.
Being “worthless” as well, why should Li Bao live like a princess out of a drama script?
Pampered by parents, adored by brothers, even incoming daughters-in-law and various nieces and nephews doted on her honestly and protectively!
Was it just because Li Bao was beautiful that from the moment she was born, her family cherished her in their mouths fearing she might melt, held her in their palms fearing she might fall?
She had thought about this a lot, to be precise, ever since she was young, she had often pondered what made her and Li Bao so different that their fates were not the same?
And believe it or not, she actually came up with some clues.
Firstly, Li Bao was an only daughter; secondly, Li Bao had a charmingly alluring face.
Yes, that had to be it; otherwise, why couldn’t she, Xu Chunxia, live like a princess?
Once she understood this, jealousy grew in her heart like weeds.
On the surface, she still appeared to be good friends with Li Bao, but secretly, she had not stopped trying to trip her up, especially after she learned that Li Bao and Zhou Weimin had gotten engaged, she wished she could switch places with Li Bao, wishing desperately that she was the one engaged to Brother Weimin.
After all, compared to Li Bao, she believed she liked Brother Weimin more.
Alas… alas, Zhou Weimin, her Brother Weimin, seemed blind, completely unaware of her existence.
Even though she and Li Bao often appeared before him together, in his eyes, he only saw Li Bao.
Because of this, she can’t tell you how distressed she felt.
Xu Chunxia walked beside Zhou Weimin with a carrying pole on her back, her heart both sour and aggrieved.
She waited and hoped, finally, she saw the engagement between the Zhou Family and Kang Family called off, and the man she admired was single again. However, out of nowhere, like Cheng Yaojin in a drama, Su Qing appeared.
Su Qing, a female educated youth from the Youth Educated Institute, had snatched her Brother Weimin away after Li Bao.
But she was far from resigned and thought… thought about reuniting Li Bao and Brother Weimin, giving her a chance to plan for Brother Weimin to become her man.
The reason?
Li Bao was in poor health, didn’t know how to do anything, and after being diagnosed by doctors in the city, it was difficult for her to have children.
About these issues, the adults in the village were well aware, naturally, they would not want such a daughter-in-law.
However, Zhou Weimin had liked Li Bao for many years and was quite favored at home. If he wanted to re-engage with Li Bao, even if his mother would be angry, she might once again fulfill her youngest son’s wish.
If it really came to that, then her chance would arrive… she could find an opportunity to be with Zhou Weimin and change their relationship irrevocably; under such circumstances, even if Zhou Weimin married Li Bao, for the sake of the child she carried, the Zhou Family would find a way to have Zhou Weimin divorce Li Bao and marry her instead.
But if Zhou Weimin and Educated Youth Su became a couple, it would clearly be disadvantageous for her—Educated Youth Su was prettier than she was, cunning, and in good health, certainly able to have children.
