This lesbian is too good at talking! I can't afford to offend her!

Chapter 188 Xing Fangcao returns empty-handed and explodes

Ever since the Ma Chunlei incident, Zhou Dajiang and Chen Jiawang have been in touch again.

He had heard from Chen Jiawang that he had found many good books at the recycling station. The prices were calculated by the kilogram, which was very cheap.

I went out to eat buns in the morning and heard the people in the bun shop discussing the resumption of the college entrance examination. I didn't even eat and turned around and ran to the recycling station.

He was the only one in the recycling station. He stopped the warehouse manager, Old Xu, and gave him fifty cents. The old man then readily told him where he could find the high school textbook.

Although he couldn't find all the textbooks, Zhou Dajiang found quite a few. When Wang Na and Ma Lanzhi came over, he was shouting and selling books in the warehouse.

Ma Lanzhi was smart. She figured it out right away that the easy-to-find textbooks in the warehouse were probably in the hands of this male comrade. Even if they searched for them, it would probably be difficult to find them.

She discussed it with Wang Na, and the two of them bought a set of textbooks from Zhou Dajiang.

This set of textbooks cost one dollar, but Ma Lanzhi thought it was worth it. She would have earned her dollar back in the time she had spent flipping through the missing books.

When Xing Fangcao learned from Zhou Dajiang that a set of books cost only one dollar, she cried even harder.

"Wow...you're too mean! I can't even afford to eat, where can I get a dollar?"

Although she took out all her best clothes, they were half-new and half-old and could only be exchanged for a few cents.

Zhou Dajiang didn't have to sell it to Xing Fangcao. When he heard her complaining about it being too expensive, he turned around and continued shouting in another direction.

He was a child who grew up in a bitter soup. During the most difficult times, he didn't even have a decent piece of clothing. If he had softened his heart because of a few tears, he would never have made it to this day.

Seeing that he was so hard-hearted that he wouldn't listen to her words, Xing Fangcao wiped away her tears. She furiously went into the warehouse. She just couldn't believe she couldn't find a set of books!

Xing Fangcao really didn't find the book. The old books in the recycling station were all used by high school students. There were very few people who could go to high school at that time.

Zhou Dajiang searched the place once, and those who heard the news and came searched the place again. What could be left?

"Comrade, it's time for us to get off work, please leave quickly—"

Xing Fangcao rubbed her numb calves, stood up shakily, looked up at the dark night outside, and asked sheepishly, "Comrade, please tell me, do you really have no high school textbooks here?"

"How would I know?" Old Xu said perfunctorily, "Look here, there are so many old books, how would I know if there is the one you're looking for?"

Xing Fangcao said dejectedly, "Is that so... Comrade, please keep an eye on it for me while you sort it out. If there are any books, please leave them for me. I'll come back tomorrow."

Old Xu curled his lips and didn't take it to heart. If he could find the book, wouldn't he just follow Zhou Dajiang's example and sell it to someone else for a high price? Why should he keep it for her for free?

Thinking of Zhou Dajiang, Old Xu sighed. He had been careless! He had missed the opportunity to make a lot of money for a mere fifty cents...

Xing Fangcao took two steps outside, then stopped and turned around to ask, "By the way, comrade, does that man named Zhou Dajiang still have a book?"

"I don't know, he left a long time ago..."

Not hearing the answer she wanted, Xing Fangcao left the recycling station in a daze.

There was no moon in the sky, only a few stars hanging sparsely in the sky, emitting faint light.

Xing Fangcao walked into the educated youth site with heavy steps. Before she even entered the house, she heard the sound of Ma Lanzhi and Wang Na playing around inside.

"Wang Na, what is this question you're working on?"

"I didn't even go to high school, so I'm pretty good at this! And you're still laughing at me. Look at your handwriting, it's so ugly—"

"Have you asked? Are you sure it's these books?"

"I asked, and that's what Xu Qingshan said. He has a better foundation than the two of us, so he did the science questions. For the two of us, it's good enough to be able to do the liberal arts questions."

"..."

Xing Fangcao felt desperate again. Why could people like Wang Na and Ma Lanzhi buy textbooks, but she couldn't?

She has tried hard to change her life, so why is it that her life is not as good as when she first came to the countryside?

"crunch-"

The heavy wooden door made a harsh sound and Xing Fangcao pushed the door open and entered the room.

She hadn't eaten for a day. She walked to the table, reached out to pour a glass of water, and drank it.

Seeing her come back, Wang Na and Ma Lanzhi fell silent and looked quietly at the books in their hands without even looking at Xing Fangcao.

Ma Lanzhi looked at the words in the book and asked softly, "Nana, how do you read this word? What does it mean?"

"You ask me, how would I know?" Wang Na replied softly, "Copy it in a notebook and ask Shuning tomorrow."

"Bang--"

The enamel teacup was placed heavily on the table, making a dull sound.

Xing Fangcao clenched her fists and thought angrily: Chen Shuning, Chen Shuning, Chen Shuning again! Why is she everywhere?

Xu Qingshan revolved around her, Ma Lanzhi and Wang Na also revolved around her, and even the handsome Guo Junshan from the police station was chasing her!

Why? Why am I inferior to Chen Shuning? Why does everything go smoothly for her, while I always encounter obstacles...

Wang Na shuddered with fear and wanted to scold, but just as she opened her mouth, she was grabbed by Ma Lanzhi. Ma Lanzhi shook her head at Wang Na and wrote a line of words on the notebook.

"She has bad intentions, so ignore her. If she does something bad behind our backs, we'll both be in trouble."

Wang Na snorted and lowered her head to continue doing the questions.

She is straightforward, not heartless. Looking at Xing Fangcao's unlucky look, she knows that she didn't find the book today.

Xing Fangcao was barefoot, but she and Ma Lanzhi were wearing shoes. They all lived in the same room, so if Xing Fangcao did something bad, they would be helpless.

Xing Fangcao's face darkened. She turned around and asked angrily, "Can I read the same book with you?"

Ma Lanzhi held up the book in her hand and said, "Wang Na and I only bought one set of books. Our foundation is not very good, and we need to study constantly. I'm afraid it won't be convenient."

Xing Fangcao's face turned blue and purple, and then purple and blue again. Anger had overwhelmed her reason: "You are so rich, why don't you buy two sets?

You did it on purpose, didn't you? You're just afraid that I'll borrow books from you, right? I've already humbled myself to please you, why do you still treat me like this?

Wang Na and Ma Lanzhi looked at each other. What was wrong with Xing Fangcao?

Ma Lanzhi sighed, suppressed her unhappiness, and said in a calm tone: "Xing Fangcao, a set of books costs one yuan, which is not cheap. It's normal for Nana and I to buy it together."

Wang Na was not so good-tempered. She glared and said, "If you get angry with someone else, don't take it out on me! I'm not a pushover, so there's no need to spoil you.

The money is earned through our own hard work, and it is not your place to tell us how to spend it. Besides, why should we lend you one for free when we buy two sets?

Xing Fangcao's body trembled slightly. She wanted to refute, but found that she couldn't refute...

Wang Na said angrily, "I'm so surprised! You thought it was too expensive and refused to buy the book. We pooled our money to buy it and lent it to you. You're so shameless! How could you say such a thing?"

Xing Fangcao roared, "Don't you have any sympathy? I'm already in such a miserable state, why are you still forcing me?"
