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

After three days and three nights of bumpy train travel, Canglan finally arrived at the county town of Heilongjiang Province.

Upon disembarking from the train, a cacophony of noise greeted us. The educated youth heading to the same place were gathered together, creating a chaotic scene, but fortunately, everyone had arrived.

Afterwards, the educated youth who had gone to Lijia Village with Canglan quickly gathered together, including Li Die, Shen Qingyun, and eight others. They briefly introduced themselves, and when it was Canglan's turn, her outstanding temperament and beautiful face attracted a lot of attention.

But when she revealed that she had a heart condition, several men who had initially shown admiration for her immediately abandoned their pursuit.

In her past life, the original owner didn't tell anyone she had a heart condition. She was also short of money, so she worked very hard, gritting her teeth and persevering no matter how heavy the work was. However, this made her heart condition worse. Even if she hadn't been beaten to death by Li Jinwang, she wouldn't have lived to be a hundred years old. But now, Cang Lan didn't want to repeat the same mistake. Anyway, her heart condition was real. Without her saying anything, the village secretary knew she had a heart condition, and he would definitely arrange an easy job for her. She should thank Li Die.

Li Die couldn't bear to have Cang Lan steal the spotlight, so she hurriedly introduced herself. After the introduction, just like in her previous life, she reached out to take Cang Lan's hand with a face full of enthusiasm, but Cang Lan simply turned slightly to the side and nimbly dodged it.

Li Die stood there, stunned, her face still full of embarrassment, when a rickety oxcart creaked and groaned toward them.

The arrival was the village secretary of Lijia Village and a young man. The village secretary was a tall man in his forties. He shouted in a loud voice, "Comrades, I am the village secretary of Lijia Village. Come on, put your luggage on this oxcart, we have to get going!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the eight educated youths, including Cang Lan, began to put their luggage on the oxcart. Soon there was no room left on the oxcart, and Li Die started to play her little trick again. She said to the village secretary in a coquettish voice, "Secretary, look, we have many female comrades here. This road is so far, I can manage, but Comrade Ding has a heart condition, he definitely can't walk this far."

Her tone, seemingly considerate of others, was actually an attempt to absolve herself of responsibility and project an image of hard work and selflessness in front of others.

Upon hearing this, the village party secretary immediately frowned. He hadn't expected that there would be a sickly person among this group of educated youth. He was probably forced to come to the countryside by his family.

Before he could speak, the young man driving the oxcart next to him became displeased. He frowned and said with dissatisfaction, "The woman didn't say a word, but you're so talkative. Our village is poor, and this is the only cart we have. Take it or leave it!"

Li Die hadn't expected this man to be so disrespectful, directly exposing her little scheme. Her face instantly turned deathly pale, her eyes reddening slightly, and she said in a tearful voice, "You... how could you say that to me? I... I really did it for everyone's good..."

Seeing that Cang Lan, the person involved, hadn't made any demands, the village secretary knew that this girl wasn't one to cause trouble, so he quickly added, "Our village is really poor, and this is the only vehicle we can carry. Comrades, please make do with it." After saying that, he looked at Cang Lan with some concern in his eyes, "If Comrade Ding feels unwell on the way, he can sit in my seat for a while, no problem."

Canglan nodded in agreement, but still completed the entire journey.

Shen Qingyun, who witnessed the whole thing, looked at the village secretary and asked, "Secretary, how long will it take to walk?" The secretary looked up at the sky, thought for a moment, and said, "It's not even noon yet. I estimate it will take about four hours. We should be there by the afternoon."

Upon hearing that it would take so long, Li Die became even more unhappy. She wanted to say something more, but no one paid any attention to her, and the oxcart slowly set off.

Seeing this, the other educated youths also fell silent and followed the oxcart. Li Die was helpless and stomped her feet in anger. She originally thought Ding Xianli would be the easiest to manipulate, and that using her as a cover might leave a good impression on everyone. However, she did not expect that these people would not buy it at all.

And so, the group swayed along in the oxcart for more than four hours before finally arriving at the educated youth settlement in the afternoon.

After everyone unloaded their luggage, the village secretary told them they would have two days of rest before returning to work with the older educated youth. He also told them to go to the brigade to collect half a month's worth of rations. After saying this, the village secretary left in an oxcart.

The former educated youth in the compound warmly greeted them, and after introducing themselves, the male and female educated youth went to their respective residences.

The female educated youth entered the room, and what came into view was a large kang (heated brick bed). There were already three educated youth in the room, and now four more had arrived, so the kang couldn't possibly accommodate so many people.

Li Bao'er and Jin Jiajia frowned immediately and muttered, "How can anyone live here? There are seven of us girls, and we can't even fit everyone in this bed."

Cang Lan didn't speak. As soon as she entered the house, she began to look around. From the kitchen to the bedroom, everything she saw made her think of only one word: dilapidated!

At this moment, the village chief also came to address the issue of accommodation for the female educated youth. He hurriedly said, "There may be a few more educated youth coming later, and this room will definitely not be enough. But there are a few empty houses near the educated youth compound, which were built by the former educated youth. They are right next to the educated youth settlement and are close by. If you are willing, you can rent them for a fee. Just give the money to me when you arrive."

When Li Bao'er and Jin Jiajia heard that they would have to pay for rent, they immediately fell silent. They knew in their hearts that their families were not well-off, and their parents couldn't help them come to the countryside; they simply couldn't afford to pay for rent.

Seeing this, Li Die's eyes lit up, and she quickly walked towards Cang Lan, her face full of smiles. She took Cang Lan's arm and said, "Xian Li, how about we rent a small house together? If we live together, we can look after each other. You have heart disease, so I can take care of you."

Cang Lan frowned slightly and subtly withdrew her arm. The village chief said from the side, "Those houses, there's one bigger and one smaller. The bigger one costs one yuan a month in rent, and the smaller one costs fifty cents a month. The bigger one even has a yard!"

Cang Lan was surprised by the low rent and immediately made up her mind. She said to the village chief, "Village chief, I want to rent the bigger house by myself." She then asked about the payment method and, after learning that it was paid monthly, gave the village chief one yuan. She then pulled her luggage toward the house, completely ignoring Li Die calling after her.

Seeing this, Li Die's eyes immediately reddened, and she burst into tears, sobbing, "Waaah... what did I do wrong? Why does Xianli seem to dislike me, waaaah..."

Li Bao'er pursed her lips and said, "She has a heart condition, maybe she wants to live alone in peace and quiet. Besides, she's rich, she just doesn't want to share a place with us." Jin Jiajia quickly pulled Li Bao'er, signaling her to stop talking.

The older educated youth watching the commotion wisely avoided getting involved.

The village chief looked at Li Die and asked, "Would you like to rent the small house?" Li Die bit her lip, looked at Li Bao'er and Jin Jiajia, and asked, "What about you two?" Li Bao'er and Jin Jiajia shook their heads and said, "We don't have any money."

Li Die gritted her teeth. She had originally thought that if she shared a house with Cang Lan, she could save some money. But now that Cang Lan was renting a house all by himself, and her family was not well-off to begin with, she had no choice but to come to the countryside. She didn't have any spare money to rent a house, so she could only refuse the village chief and say that she would rent a house when the other educated youths came.

When the village chief saw that she wasn't going to rent it, he secretly regretted having quoted such a low rent. He felt a mix of emotions, muttering to himself, "If you didn't have the money, you should have said so earlier. I wasted my breath."

Then, he said some trivial things to them and they dispersed. Before leaving, the village chief reminded them to go to the brigade to collect half a month's worth of rations.
