The Tempting Educated Youth Married to a Rough Man-Chapter 69: Shameless Educated Youth

Knowledge Youth Courtyard.

The place isn’t quite the same as when Wen Ran first went to the countryside.

The team leader thought, since the construction has started anyway, why not take advantage of the time and prepare things inside and out?

The houses for male and female youths were each renovated into two rooms, and the collapsed courtyard wall was repaired again.

For many years, they hadn’t organized people to go up the mountain to hunt. He wondered if it was the team leader’s illusion, but the wild boar population on the mountain seemed to have grown a bit.

Now they can coexist without disturbing each other, but when the snow comes and there’s nothing to eat on the mountain, no one can predict whether they will come down to destroy the crops and harm people.

Might as well make the courtyard wall more solid to prevent any accidents.

Of course, the youths at the Knowledge Youth Courtyard are incredibly annoying, watching others help them repair things without saying a word or even glancing at them when they pass by, let alone offering a drink.

If it weren’t for Zhang Zhijie being congenial, these folks probably would have torn each other apart long ago.

The rain continued to pour outside, and looking at the scrawny pig in the pen, the youths collectively sank into sorrow, "Honestly, is this pig even eligible?"

"If it’s eligible, that would be a miracle," Zhang Sisi, full of anger, couldn’t help but mock, "Look at it yourself, it’s so skinny it’s just skin and bones, still expecting it to be eligible?

Ha! If we present these pigs together as a task, it’ll be a surprise if we aren’t met with ridicule."

"Alright," Zhang Zhijie, also annoyed, said, "Could you say less? Is the condition of the pig solely my responsibility?"

As the saying goes, one monk fetches water, two monks carry water, three monks have no water.

Youths that are diligent are hard to find, but lazy ones are plentiful.

Besides, after a whole day of work, you don’t move, and I don’t want to move either, gradually the well-fed pigs become starved.

You see it every day and it doesn’t seem that bad, as long as it doesn’t die.

New youths arrived later and wanted to get involved a bit. By the end of the year, they might get some pork to taste.

Then the pig’s condition worsened.

Old youths felt new youths should show initiative to integrate into the collective. New youths thought old youths were shameless, trying to push all the work on them.

They weren’t soft persimmons, not afraid to push back.

If you dare to command me to work, I’ll make sure the task is botched.

Back and forth, everyone wanted to eat pork, but no one wanted to care for the pig.

Yet, when the autumn harvest ended, Silly Deer Team took stock of the grains and prepared to hand over pigs, and the youths suddenly realized, this pig...

Wasn’t eligible at all!

Relying on temporary measures was clearly not feasible. Even though they added feed within a short period, it couldn’t change the scrawny state.

The youths were anxious and frantic until Li Gaolian quietly came up with an idea.

"Our pig isn’t eligible, but could we switch for another one?"

The youths thought Li Gaolian had gone crazy.

Using their own scrawny pig to exchange for someone else’s plump one, even a fool wouldn’t agree to that.

"Don’t be stupid, who would exchange their good pig? Besides, they’re just mud-legs, I wouldn’t bother dealing with them."

This female youth had sharp features but unusually large eyes, giving her an appearance slightly like an evolved monkey.

Having been in the countryside for a while, she relied solely on her family without much involvement. The team leader saw she didn’t cause trouble for the team and couldn’t be bothered, just avoiding trouble was the leader’s only requirement for these youths.

"Fine, I can just choose not to eat the pork, no big deal."

Zhang Zhijie frowned, "Alright, is there any point in saying this now? Is this about whether you eat pork or not?

This pig was seized from the public sector, raised with money and grains allocated every month. In this state, can we justify it?"

His words fell, and everyone immediately fell silent.

Zhang Zhijie was genteel and usually didn’t speak, but when he did, rarely anyone could argue back.

Seeing everyone silent, Zhang Zhijie sneered, "If this isn’t solved, everyone will have to chip in to fill the gap."

After speaking, Zhang Zhijie turned to Li Gaolian, his expression softened, "Xiao Lian, could you tell me in detail about exchanging the pig?"

Li Gaolian looked at the young master’s face, her heart trembled, blushed, and explained softly.

Zhang Zhijie suddenly understood and his eyes brightened...

Wen Family.

Bao Wenxuan sat in the main room, banging the table and scolding people, truly relentless.

Wen Ran glanced at Bao Wenxuan, wanting to advise her not to be so angry, her hands were turning red.

"Seriously, I only knew they were shameless, but never thought they would be this shameless!" 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

"Alright," Wen Ran consoled, "They didn’t take advantage of me, what’s there to be mad about?

Don’t be angry, don’t be angry, getting sick with anger is pointless."

"Disgusting, utterly disgusting," Bao Wenxuan spat, "You have no idea what kind of faces they had when they were shunned here, they then turned to me.

Openly and subtly threatened me to persuade you well."

Honestly, Wen Ran knew the sudden visit from the Knowledge Youth Courtyard didn’t bode well, but didn’t expect their mindlessness to reach this extent.

The courtyard planned to persuade Wen Ran to help them switch pigs to get through the team leader, choosing only good candidates so Wen Ran wouldn’t need to worry too much.

Xiao Family.

Wen Ran, after hearing this, was speechless.

She was directly amused.

"Anyway, now I feel that moving out of the Knowledge Youth Courtyard was indeed the right decision. Mixing with these kinds of people daily, even good folks would turn foolish."

"It’s fine," Wen Ran replied calmly, "I’m aware of this now, I’ll be cautious in the future."

"Hmm."

Bao Wenxuan knew Wen Ran was decisive, so she didn’t say much more, rambled for a bit, and went home.

At midnight, Wen Ran lay on the heated bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

Simply slipped into the space.

Having such good things, Wen Ran even felt it was a waste with her.

If it were another heroine, they might have already thrived in the black market with this space, but she only dared to deal with wild boars, keeping the rest tightly in hand, not daring to let slip a bit.

She could only comfort herself, saying fools have their fortunes. Not aiming for wealth or riches, slightly meddling later should ensure some small fortune.

Picking a sausage off the shelf and opening a soda. As long as she takes care of her health, living to the 21st century shouldn’t be an issue.

By then, she might even be an eighty-year-old fighting in the canyon!

Amused by her wild thoughts, Wen Ran laughed, finished her meal, and fell back asleep on the bed until morning.
