So satisfying! The Great Demon King wiped out everyone equally!

Ding Hui stared at Cang Lan's departing figure with a sinister gaze, unable to suppress the smug smile on her lips.

"Hmph, so what if Ding Xianli is smart and capable? Even if she gets a job at the hospital, so what? She still has to obediently go to the countryside for me. Once she goes, she can just wait to rot away in that poor, remote place, and probably never be able to return to the city. Then, she'll only be able to marry a farmer and suffer in that hardship until she dies. As for me, I'll take her position at the hospital, and I'll definitely be able to marry a rich man and live a life of luxury."

Thinking of this, Xiao Weiguo's face flashed through her mind, but that fleeting sadness was immediately crushed by her anticipation of a luxurious future. 'Hmph, what does breaking up with him matter? Soon a rich man who'll do anything for me will appear by my side.'

"Mom, I feel like I'm dreaming. Can I really get a job at a hospital?"

A smug smile played on Qin Guilan's lips, her eyes gleaming with the satisfaction of a successful scheme. "Needless to say? The name for the rural assignment has already been changed to hers; it's a done deal. Once she's gone, this house will be completely ours."

As she spoke, her gaze swept back and forth across the room, her eyes seeming to already envision herself becoming the supreme mistress of this house, never having to be beholden to her stepdaughter again, nor having to care about the neighbors' whispers and gossip about her mistreatment of her stepdaughter.

Ding Jianqiang, with his legs crossed, leaned lazily against the sofa, recalling last night when he secretly went to check if the box had been stolen. He dug halfway through and, seeing the box was still there, he went back to sleep, relieved. Thinking this, he figured that once that brat Ding Xianli went to the countryside, returning to the city would be harder than climbing to heaven, and then the house and all the property would be his.

"Gui Lan," Ding Jian said impatiently, his voice brimming with barely suppressed excitement, "Tonight, go buy some meat and some wine. It's been a while since we've had a proper time to enjoy ourselves."

Qin Guilan then gave Ding Jianqiang a flirtatious wink and looked at him sweetly, "Brother Qiang, you promised me that you would buy me a gold bracelet after that brat leaves."

Ding Jianqiang waved his hand and said, "You can rest assured. In the future, I can afford to buy you not just one gold bracelet, but ten."

Ding Hui, who was listening to her parents' conversation, quickly interjected, "Dad, I saw a dress at the mall, it's so pretty, I want one too."

Ding Jianqiang was in a great mood. "No problem, if my precious daughter wants it, Dad will definitely buy it for you."

At this moment, the family of three was lost in their own fantasy.

Meanwhile, at the crowded registration point for educated youth going to the countryside, it was Canglan's turn.

"Hello, I'm Ding Hui, here to sign up for the rural service program." Cang Lan handed over the household registration booklet, her expression calm, but a hint of cunning lurked in her eyes.

The staff member took the household registration booklet, glanced at it, and was immediately stunned, the image of the father and daughter from that morning flashing through their mind. "Didn't your father and sister come to register this morning? Only one person from each family needs to go," the staff member said, looking puzzled.

Cang Lan immediately straightened up, his eyes filled with sincerity and determination. "Comrade, my sister and I have a really good relationship. I want to go to the countryside with her, preferably in the same place. Moreover, I sincerely want to contribute to the construction of our motherland. There is so much to be done in this vast world. I am willing to contribute to the construction of our country."

Upon hearing this, the staff member was slightly taken aback at first, then his face was filled with emotion. He excitedly shouted to the people queuing behind him, "Look at Comrade Ding Hui, how high her ideological awareness is! Going to the countryside is a great act of dedicating one's youth to the motherland, and these two sisters are even vying to go, both thinking of contributing to the construction of the motherland. Everyone should learn from their spirit!"

These words immediately caused an uproar in the crowd, who instantly developed an intense aversion to the name Ding Hui.

"That Ding Hui is really a strange person. She's quite something. The countryside is a very hard place, but she's still eager to go there."

"Hmph, maybe she's just putting on an act. She'll be crying when we get to the countryside."

Canglan pretended not to hear any of these words, since they were directed at Ding Hui anyway.

Soon, the staff completed Ding Hui's rural service certificate and gave her a rural service subsidy of two hundred yuan. "Your sister and father came too early this morning, and we haven't had time to give them the subsidy yet. This is perfect, so you can take your sister's share back with you."

Cang Lan was secretly delighted, but on her face she showed a face full of gratitude: "Thank you so much, comrade! I will thank you on behalf of my sister!"

After receiving the money and the certificate, Cang Lan did not go home. Instead, she went straight to the state-run restaurant, had a delicious lunch, and left satisfied. She then rushed to the shopping mall in Chongqing and immediately started her shopping spree.

Looking at the wide array of goods, she couldn't help but marvel: these things are even better than those from previous worlds.

He shoved all sorts of fabrics, clothes, and household goods into his shopping bags. He didn't even leave out the pastries and candies in the food section, grabbing a whole bunch. He also picked out a few watches and bought a bicycle. After he'd finished shopping, Canglan remembered he still had important business to attend to, so he rode his bicycle to the steel factory.

In the original text, the steel factory director's daughter also took the hospital exam with her, but the director's daughter did not pass. She knew that only by selling the job to the director's daughter could she prevent Ding Jianqiang and his group from taking it away or reselling it.

Upon arriving at the steel plant, Canglan directly told the gatekeeper that she needed to see the plant manager about matters related to her work at the hospital. The gatekeeper, not daring to delay, hurriedly led her to the plant manager's office.

The factory manager didn't recognize Cang Lan, so he asked, "What do you want to see me about?"

Cang Lan remained calm and slowly said, "Factory Manager, I can sell your daughter the hospital internship job for 1000 yuan. However, there is a condition: Ding Jianqiang must be dismissed from the factory."

The factory manager was somewhat surprised, but considering that his daughter had found a job and he didn't know anyone named Ding Jianqiang, he immediately agreed. He not only gave Canglan 1000 yuan right away, but also called the personnel department to find a reason to dismiss Ding Jianqiang.

Afterwards, fearing that Cang Lan might change her mind, the factory manager asked his daughter to go to the hospital with Cang Lan to complete the formalities. Through the factory manager's efforts, the job was successfully transferred to his daughter's name.

After finishing his business, Canglan leisurely rode his bicycle home.

As soon as she entered, she saw a table full of food. Qin Guilan smiled broadly, but her smile carried a hint of malice. As she put some vegetables into Canglan's bowl, she said, "Lanlan, these are all your favorites."

Cang Lan completely ignored her. Every time Qin Guilan picked up a piece of food, Cang Lan would quickly and accurately grab two pieces of meat with her chopsticks. Before long, the meat in her bowl was piled up like a small mountain, and most of the meat on her plate was gone.

Seeing this, Qin Guilan was so frightened that she dared not put any more food on Canglan's plate. A hint of panic and heartache flashed in her eyes. It was a whole plate of meat, and she had barely eaten any of it, as it had all gone into Canglan's bowl.

Watching from the side, Mr. Ding frowned even more. He hadn't even eaten yet, and the meat was almost gone. A hint of dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes as he looked at Cang Lan. Remembering that there was still important business to discuss, he composed himself and said, "Lili, the country has a policy now that requires children from the city to respond to the call and go to the countryside. Dad has already registered you. You'll have to leave at the end of this month."

Canglan continued to eat heartily as if she hadn't heard anything, her cheeks bulging. She even picked up Ding's father's wine, poured herself a glass, and then tilted her head back to drink it all in one gulp. Her carefree demeanor suggested that nothing could dampen her enjoyment of the food.

Seeing Canglan's expression, Mr. Ding grew increasingly angry, but he couldn't vent his anger. He gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, and tried to make his voice sound gentler: "Lili, Dad knows you passed the hospital exam. But Huihui isn't my biological daughter. If the neighbors find out I sent her to the countryside, our whole family will be gossiped about behind our backs. If your mother were still here, she would understand Dad's difficulties."

“Yes, Lili, Auntie doesn’t want you to go either, but Huihui is still young and not as smart as you. Look at you, how clever you are, you’ll definitely have a smooth life in the countryside. But Huihui can’t, she’s too delicate, how can she endure that kind of hardship?” Qin Guilan said, glancing at Ding’s father out of the corner of her eye, the hypocrisy in her tone practically overflowing.

Cang Lan put down her wine cup, glanced coldly at Ding's father, her expression as calm as a bottomless, icy pool, yet inexplicably frightening. A slight smile played on her lips as she slowly said, "I understand."

After saying that, she downed the wine in her glass in one gulp, let out a deafening burp, and then stared straight at Mr. Ding, a deep sneer flashing in her eyes: "So how much money are you going to give me to send me to the countryside?"

Upon hearing this, Mr. Ding immediately felt guilty, but his face was full of disbelief: "Money? How can you talk to your father about money? We've spent all our money on your heart treatment. Besides, this is a contribution to the country, a matter of utmost honor."

Cang Lan sneered, "Hmph, all spent? And someone stole over two thousand yuan? Glorious? If it's such a glorious thing, why don't you send it to your precious stepdaughter?"

At this point, Canglan seemed to have suddenly discovered a new continent, "Dad, I suddenly realized that Ding Hui is only a month younger than me. Look closely, you two really look alike."

As she spoke, she pointed her finger at Ding Hui and her father's noses, "Wow, those bulbous noses, even if they weren't related, they wouldn't look so alike. And those small, beady eyes, they're practically cut from the same mold."

Upon hearing this, Ding Hui's face turned red with anger. She was already somewhat insecure about her appearance because she had not inherited Qin Guilan's big eyes and cherry lips at all, but instead inherited Ding Jianqiang's ugly features.

She had heard people say more than once that Ding Xianli was a hundred times prettier than her. Every time she went out, people thought she was the biological daughter of Ding's father and Qin Guilan, which made her feel resentful.

At this moment, after being mocked by Canglan, she could no longer hold back and burst into tears, crying and shouting, "Mom, she said I'm ugly!"

Ding's father was speechless for a long time after being choked by Canglan's words. His face turned pale and then red. A bad premonition welled up in his heart. He couldn't help but wonder if Ding Xianli had discovered something. He quickly gave Qin Guilan a wink.

Qin Guilan quickly said, "Lanlan, what are you saying? Huihui is my child with my ex-husband. She looks like him. Maybe it's because we lived together for a long time and developed a resemblance as a couple."

Cang Lan, however, didn't want to listen to their hypocritical explanations anymore and interrupted them directly: "I'll let you go to the countryside, but you have to return everything my mother left me. I can overlook the two thousand yuan that was stolen, but my mother's jewelry must be returned to me."

Cang Lan suddenly felt there was no need to pretend anymore and said sternly, "Don't think I don't know what you're up to. You want me to go to the countryside and then give my job to Ding Hui. You've really got a good plan. I advise you to return my things. If things get out of hand, it won't be my responsibility anymore!"

Seeing that the situation seemed to be out of control, Ding's father became furious and said through gritted teeth to Qin Guilan, "Go and take out all of her mother's things."

Qin Guilan looked pained and hesitated before saying, "But... those things are mine now. I've worn them all these years..."

Helpless, Qin Guilan steeled her heart, turned, and went inside to tidy up. A moment later, she returned with a box. Cang Lan checked the contents from memory, but noticed a bracelet was missing. She frowned and looked at Qin Guilan: "Where's the other bracelet?"

Qin Guilan's expression changed, a hint of panic flashed in her eyes, she hesitated for a moment, and then reluctantly took the bracelet off her wrist and put it in the box, her expression as if someone was cutting her flesh.

Cang Lan then took the things, turned around and went back to her room, leaving Ding's father, Qin Guilan and Ding Hui, who was still crying, looking at each other in bewilderment.

For the next two days, Cang Lan focused solely on shopping. Her earnest preparation for going to the countryside made anyone who saw her think that she had completely accepted the fact of going to the countryside without any resistance or worry.

Seeing this, Ding's father and Qin Guilan finally felt relieved. They were secretly pleased, believing that Ding Xianli had resigned herself to her fate and compromised, so they stopped paying attention to her.

As soon as the time came, before dawn, Canglan quickly got out of bed and put all the items that the original owner's mother had bought, such as the bed, cabinets, and wardrobes, into her spatial storage.

Then, she went straight to Ding Jianqiang and Qin Guilan's room. After losing the money, they hadn't even locked the door. This made things even easier for Canglan. The next second, the bed, dressing table, and other items that the original owner's mother had used to decorate the wedding room were all put away, except for the two of them's underwear, smelly socks, and tattered clothes.

Next, Canglan went to the living room and took away the TV, sofa, dining table and other items all at once.

Finally, she went into Ding Hui's room, and without saying a word, picked up the pile of pink clothes and threw them out the window. As she threw them, she muttered to herself, "Whoever finds these clothes can keep them; consider it an act of kindness."

Once everything was ready, Canglan picked up her pre-prepared luggage and left home with a flourish, heading to the train station.

Before leaving, she thoughtfully opened all the windows in the house.

Ding Jianqiang, Qin Guilan, and Ding Hui were awakened from their sleep by the cold wind. The three of them opened their eyes groggily and were instantly stunned by the sight of their bare house.

"Ahhhhhhhhh-!"

"We've been robbed! We've been robbed! Call the police!" Ding Jianqiang shouted at the top of his lungs.

Qin Guilan wailed on the ground, "My bed, my dressing table, my clothes, they're all gone! You heartless bastard, waaaaaah..."

Ding Hui jumped out of bed, hopping around naked: "Where are my clothes? Where are my clothes? Where are all those pretty clothes I just bought?" She cried so bitterly, as if she had lost not clothes, but her very life.
