Chapter 70: Jiaojiao is spoiled by the rough man

"I think you should stop wasting your energy. Xu Yan doesn't seem to like you that much." Bai Luwei suddenly said leisurely from the side.

"What do you know? Don't worry about things that you shouldn't ask." Li Meifen hated this kind of person who just watched the fun and made remarks from time to time.

"People like Xu Yan are different from others. It's common to be liked because of money, but we guys with flat heads can't compare to him." After Li Meifen scolded him, Bai Luwei shrugged nonchalantly and continued to speak coldly:

"I'm afraid most of the girls in the village are not worthy of him. If there is any personnel change, it is not impossible for him to be transferred away. His future prospects are really hard to estimate."

Although the words were harsh, Bai Luwei was telling the truth. Even though they were both working in the production team, Xu Yan was still able to get rich, which showed that the gap between them was not something that ordinary young people could compare with.

Moreover, this is exactly the reason why other villagers admire Xu Yan.

Who wouldn't want to live a better life in such a time? And Xu Yan is the most awe-inspiring representative of them in the village.

Even though people reject these people on the surface, how many of them are not secretly envious of them in private?

"Then what about Su Wanwan? Why is she Xu Yan's friend?" After Bai Luwei finished speaking, Li Meifen was silent for a long time, and finally whispered with gritted teeth.

"Is something blocking your vision? Have you forgotten that her father is the head of our village? In the production team, she has some minor errands in the health department, but the rest of her work is actually very easy."

At this point, she paused, shook her head and added: "Although there was no one in the clinic sometimes, it was indeed relatively easy, but she was able to get in touch with the work of the radio station and broadcast the manuscript every day - it was written by her!"

"To write a manuscript like that, you must read a lot. If you read a lot, will you still be the same?"

It is undeniable that Bai Luwei's words struck Li Meifen's heart like a bell. It turned out that she had underestimated Su Wanwan's work in broadcasting and did not see the importance of the knowledge accumulation behind it.

She originally thought that Su Wanwan had only obtained a leisurely position because of her father's relationship. But now it seems that the announcer's job is not only labor-saving, but also only takes half a day. Wouldn't the rest of the time belong to her?

"Ah, just thinking about it makes me feel that the gap between people is wider than the sky. In the current state, everyone is equally exhausted. Will their fates be comparable in the future? Will villagers and relocated youth have the same opportunities?"

After lunch, Bai Luwei's words lingered in Li Meifen's heart like lingering notes. Even when she was in between rice harvesting, her mind was filled with Bai Luwei's words during the day.

As an educated youth sent to the countryside, Li Meifen's family background was far beyond the reach of most families in the city. Even if she was assigned to work in a farm team and returned to the city, her prospects were not necessarily optimistic. After all, her contributions to collective work could not add much color to her resume, and the employment environment in the city was still cruel.

However, Xu Yan is different. Although he is a local rural youth, he can drive two cars, return home safely after being trapped in an accident, and obtain the qualification of exchange youth. Obviously, he is not a simple person, and there must be someone behind him supporting him.

I have heard that some young people who went to the countryside, on the surface, worked with the others, but secretly opened up another business. Although they were criticized by the world for speculation, in fact, their families made a lot of money from private trading of materials. The insufficient distribution of materials gave them the space to buy low and sell high, and their family conditions were undoubtedly much better than those of other young people.

These secret businessmen have extensive connections and if they remain undetected, they can quickly accumulate large amounts of assets.

Looking at Xu Yan's situation, it is very likely that he also relies on similar channels to make profits. The estimated price of that car is so high that it makes people feel uneasy.

The fact that Xu Yan was able to return to the village safely in this incident shows that the business activities behind him have a considerable protection network.

Getting close to Xu Yan was undoubtedly a decision that had more advantages than disadvantages for Li Meifen. After a few hours of ideological struggle, this shocking conclusion hit her.

No wonder Zhong Qingqing shamelessly approached Xu Yan and created various opportunities for contact after she knew that Xu Yan drove to save Grandpa. It seems that she had already seen through this deep logic.

At this time, Li Meifen recalled with a trembling heart how Zhong Qingqing behaved in the dormitory for educated youths. She bought unnecessary vanishing creams, dressed up in front of the mirror every day, took the initiative to help the Xu family cook, and used Xu Yan's money to buy a lot of high school textbooks... All her unconventional behaviors showed her ambition.

Although Zhong Qingqing was an educated youth from the city, according to Li Meifen's understanding, her family background seemed to be not as good as hers. This might be the reason why she frequently interacted with various young people when she first came to the city.

When she first met Yan Wenxuan, she did not have a deep understanding of him. She did not understand how such an incompetent person could attract the village chief's daughter and people like Zhong Qingqing to surround him. It was not until she met several educated youth that she heard about his deeds indirectly.

Although Yan Wenxuan had no real talent or knowledge, he could convince many people with his eloquence. When the educated youth first came to the countryside and the villagers had not yet learned about their backgrounds, Yan Wenxuan took advantage of this information gap to widely publicize his wealthy family and promising future career, and even won the trust of many young people in a short period of time.

This may include Zhong Qingqing.

What happened afterwards was almost the talk of the villagers. Yan Wenxuan was not only incompetent but also negative. After being expelled from Su Wanwan's family, his reputation in the village was completely ruined, and he became a worthless person that everyone despised.

Therefore, Zhong Qingqing no longer wanted to associate with him.

At this time, Xu Yan, who had always kept a low profile in the village, suddenly became the subject of heated discussion among the crowd, and Zhong Qingqing's attention naturally shifted as well.

“No wonder it’s like this…” Li Meifen muttered to herself as she raised and lowered her grip on the sickle.

"What did you say?" Su Wanwan, who was working nearby, moistened her mouth with the kettle, and beads of sweat were clearly visible on her forehead.

"Nothing... I just learned some things that I didn't want to think about before." Li Meifen answered harshly, her eyes lingering on Su Wanwan for a few seconds, then she lowered her head and continued her busy farming work.

"What's the matter?" Su Wanwan asked knowingly, breathing slightly.

This was the first day after three days. Although she could still endure the soreness in her arms from the initial strenuous physical labor, the lack of adequate rest made her hands and feet tired. The daily tasks increased, and the soreness in her hands, which had not been fully rested, turned into sharp and stabbing pain. It took more strength to lift her arms, and to some extent, she had to make a decisive determination.

This situation made Su Wanwan worry whether she could hold on for the next few days.

Li Meifen didn't respond to Su Wanwan's words, but suddenly sped up her movements, harvesting the rice fields in front of her as if possessed. Su Wanwan, who was panting not far away, was startled by this.

Ever since Li Meifen's attitude towards Xu Yan changed drastically, she has become a weird person.
