Chapter 70: Jiaojiao is spoiled by the rough man

"Just now in the new dormitory, I found that Lan Ying had some things that were obviously beyond her salary range, such as cosmetics." Su Wanwan stated quickly.

Although the words were spoken quickly, Xu Yan still grasped the core: "The new dormitory assigned to you will be shared with Lan Ying?" He remembered Li Meifen's question after dinner and immediately understood a lot.

"Yes, but that's not the point. I noticed the lipstick and thought it was unusual. It looked like it might be quite expensive, so I quietly made a note of the brand name."

"Which brand?" Su Wanwan slowly uttered two letters and breathed a sigh of relief as if she had completed a task.

"Well, I've heard of this name. It's definitely not made in China. I'll check the specific price later." Xu Yan promised readily and cleverly exchanged the positions of his palms during the conversation.

"Since she is able to purchase goods beyond common sense, it means she has other ways to make money. It doesn't matter whether the lipstick is genuine or not. The key is how she made her money. How many people are there like this?" As soon as Su Wanwan finished speaking, the night wind seemed to be even stronger. Xu Yan immediately noticed her worries and nodded lightly: "I understand your concerns. It's cold and late at night, so I'll take you home."

After saying that, Xu Yan took Su Wanwan's hand and walked out.

"No need. It's easy to attract attention if we're together." Su Wanwan resisted instinctively, not because she was worried about traveling alone at night.

She was just afraid that traveling with Xu Yan would attract other people's attention.

"Is it because you think people will see you if you walk with me?" Suddenly, Xu Yan stopped beside Su Wanwan and stopped talking.

Realizing that she might have touched a chord with him, Su Wanwan hastily clarified: "That's not what I meant. What I wanted to say is... Li Meifen's incident has made the people in Baihuayuan think that the young people in our village have poor moral character. They don't understand our relationship, so they can't help but make similar speculations about our relationship..."

After a long talk, Xu Yan finally regained his composure and looked at Su Wanwan with eyes full of heartache.

"If you need to talk to me in the future, don't choose this time," he said.

Hearing this, Su Wanwan almost blurted out: "But if something really happens..."

"Then we will talk about it in detail when we are both free. If it is really beyond words, then silence is fine. Don't come to me late at night for this matter next time." Xu Yan's eyes were full of affection and concern, which made Su Wanwan feel sad. Fortunately, no one saw her wet eyes in the dark.

Su Wanwan used the night to conceal her fluctuating emotions. After saying goodbye to Xu Yan, she trotted back to the girls' dormitory.

She ran from the dormitory of the male educated youth to her own dormitory. Along the way, her arm almost lost all feeling, and her injured arm could not feel pain. She rushed into the room, leaned over the stove and panted for a long time, until her body was no longer shaking from the severe cold, and she returned to normal.

"Why did you come back so late? Is the situation serious?" Wang E was the only one left in the room. She was the one who had added a fire to keep warm.

Su Wanwan replied timidly: "Well, Lan Ying and Li Meifen haven't returned home yet?"

Upon hearing the news, Wang E shook her head to indicate that she didn't know.

"Li Meifen received a penalty notice. She was temporarily detained for intentionally using a weapon to attack others. I heard that she will be isolated for three days."

Hearing this, Su Wanwan nodded calmly. This punishment seemed acceptable to Li Meifen.

"So, this means that she doesn't have to go to work in the fields these days?" Su Wanwan's eyes suddenly widened, and she realized another layer of meaning.

From this perspective, detention may not be a punishment but more like an unexpected benefit.

After all, Li Meifen always complained about the hard work of farming, but this time she was able to avoid the hard work and enjoy being locked up in the small dark room. Thinking of this, Su Wanwan would smile secretly.

"What are you thinking? Of course, it's necessary labor, but she will have a special supervision area and will not come into contact with people from other production teams,"

"Well, that's good." Su Wanwan nodded sincerely.

If Li Meifen had three days of work leave because of her confinement, Su Wanwan would feel a little unbalanced.

"Do you know where she will be held? If she plans to move back after her confinement..."

"The yard where you used to live is now empty. She lives alone and someone is watching her." Wang E was quite perceptive about the news. After getting confirmation, Su Wanwan nodded again.

"I feel like the relationship between you and Li Meifen isn't very close." After Wang E finished washing and sat down on the earthen kang, she suddenly turned to Su Wanwan and said.

"It's okay. The surface performance is still acceptable." Su Wanwan responded uneasily.

In fact, the surface relationship has already deteriorated to the extreme.

"No wonder you didn't intervene to stop her arguing with Lan Ying just now." Wang E said immediately.

Su Wanwan smiled bitterly in her heart.

The conflict between Li Meifen and Lan Ying has nothing to do with her.

"Then why did you take the risk to pick up the lipstick?" Su Wanwan, who had been hiding at home to warm her hands for a while, felt her body gradually warm up and she took a deep breath comfortably.

Under the flickering light, Wang E examined Su Wanwan's face intently, paying attention to her every slight movement. That unusual attention always made Su Wanwan feel strange, as if she was being monitored silently.

"I just saw that thing seemed to be very expensive, maybe it could be useful." Su Wanwan made up an excuse to deal with Wang E, and at the same time began to carefully check the furnishings in the room.

The dormitory that the four girls were assigned to was originally small. The living room was relatively spacious but sparsely populated, leaving only a space of just over one meter wide. A large kang took up half of the area, and the other half was reserved for daily movement. The table was naturally placed next to the kang, and everyone's daily necessities were also placed here.

The two joined tables were piled high with Lan Ying and Wang E's things: in addition to the basic daily necessities that were distributed, almost all the items were various cosmetic packaging bottles and jars placed by Lan Ying.

When Li Meifen was here before, Su Wanwan was mainly concerned about the dispute between them and did not pay attention to the furnishings in the room. Now it seems that Li Meifen's doubts were not unreasonable, and several items on the table that looked like cosmetics did catch her attention.

Not to mention the two narrow wardrobes near the table. During the fight just now, Li Meifen had opened one of the wardrobes. Su Wanwan, who was standing behind her, vaguely noticed that in addition to basic clothes, there might be some unidentified boxes inside.

Just as Li Meifen was about to pick up a box and examine the inside carefully, Lan Ying had already passed by quickly. The door of the closet was quietly closed again, and everyone retreated together.

"What are you looking for?" Wang E suddenly felt inexplicably uneasy as she watched Su Wanwan's eyes wandering between the two wardrobes and occasionally glancing at the things on the table. Because before they lived here, it had always been her and Lan Ying, and the two had never had any disputes. Although Lan Ying was impatient and not easy to get along with, they were more or less tolerant of each other because they had the same goal.
