Chapter 185 Fengguan Xiapei
"No no no!"
Jiang Mianmian pulled out a file folder, opened it, and took out a few sheets of paper. "These are the land deeds for the villas. Just sign them. No points are needed. I've already planned out those villas; one for each person!"
She blinked. "So you have your own set of rules, and my Twenty-Two has hers too. If you ever dare to bully her, this whole circle of people will be her family."
"No points required?"
Lin Bao's first reaction was to refuse, "How can this be! I can't accept this."
"Fine, you don't have to. I'll give both houses to Twenty-Two. If you two start arguing, you'll have to live at your brother's house or sleep on the streets. Hehe, after all, without me, no one would dare sell you a house."
Jiang Mianmian didn't stand on ceremony with him and pulled the land deed back as she spoke.
"..."
Lin Bao: Oh no, I regret it!
Jiu Niang hurriedly shoved the land deed into Lin Bao's hands. "Ignore her. She's just teasing you. We all come from Lingxiao Tower. We know each other inside and out. Although we're not related by blood, we've always treated each other like family. So you have to have this villa, whether you want it or not. Originally, I was planning to tell you all about it after it was all built, but since you're getting married now, I'll give it to you and Twenty-Two first. As for the wedding, just listen to me."
"Thank you, Ninth Sister."
Lin Bao was moved to tears, "Thank you, Mianmian."
"Alright, go out now. Tell Twenty-Two to come see me tonight; I'll give her a surprise."
Jiang Mianmian continued to work diligently.
Jiu Niang instructed her, "Remember to get up and move around every half hour, and eat the fruit and bird's nest soup."
"Good~"
The two then opened the door and went out.
Hearing the door close, Jiang Mianmian's tears fell down her cheeks.
For some reason, seeing Lin Bao's blissful expression as he tried to marry Twenty-Two immediately brought Tongzi to her mind.
The child who transformed into the appearance of a twenty-six-year-old looked sickly. Was it because he was indeed not in good condition? I wonder how he is now.
Wiping away her tears, Jiang Mianmian slowly moved her fingertips across the map. After finishing this task, she needed to choose a place to go out and earn merit points.
Fengshui County is adjacent to Hong'an County, and further north is the prefectural city. Ningzhou Prefecture is quite large, with seven or eight counties in addition to these three. The northwesternmost county is Huifeng County. She can travel all the way back through these counties, saving time to the maximum extent.
Having made up her mind, she started choosing her wedding dress and jewelry from the online store.
Instead of choosing the modern white wedding dress and suit, she opted for the phoenix coronet and embroidered robe, waiting for him to arrive at 22:00 that night to see which outfit he preferred.
Inside the camp, Liu Ya was cleaning up the Anmin family's belongings.
Whenever she arrived at a new cave that needed cleaning, she would post the Anminshu (Anminshu) regulations at the door and read, memorize, and work at the same time.
Zhu Yingxue, who had just returned from taking out the trash, was immediately annoyed when she saw her and retorted, "What, you really expect to memorize all this in just a few days and then take the big exam? Don't dream! You're from a peasant background, you should be working hard!"
Liu Ya frowned as she looked at the trash can, which was still dripping dirty water, and said, "Sister Yingxue, why didn't you clean the trash can before taking it into the cave? It's so hot, it'll stink inside."
"What are you scrubbing for? Don't you know how precious water is these days? Where are you going to get so much water to scrub this stuff!"
There was hardly anyone around, and Zhu Yingxue was too lazy to maintain her harmless and gentle demeanor. Besides, she had been constantly targeted by Liu Ya these days, doing the dirtiest and most tiring work in the Anmin clan, while eating the worst and most unpalatable food. She had long harbored resentment! Even the water for washing these things was carried over by the four of them in turns!
Now, of course, we should save as much as we can.
"Oh."
Liu Ya didn't say anything, but walked over, squatted down, and carefully wiped the dirty water off the ground.
"Hmph, a scoundrel is a scoundrel. Wouldn't it have been better if you had done this earlier?"
Zhu Yingxue finally felt a little better, and then said, "I advise you to give up on that big exam as soon as possible. You're so stupid, you won't pass it."
After all, the more people there are, the more people will compete with her!
Liu Ya remained silent. She had finished wiping away the dirt, got up, and found a large rock to stand on.
"Why are you standing so high? I have to crane my neck..."
Before Zhu Yingxue could finish speaking, she bent over, nauseated by the dirty water dripping into her mouth, and retched. "Ugh! What are you doing!"
"Whoever creates the problem should solve it."
Liu Ya wrung out the rag in her hands a few more times, squeezing all the dirty water onto Zhu Yingxue's head. Not satisfied, seeing that Zhu Yingxue had thrown the trash can on the ground, she jumped off the rock, picked up the trash can, and put it on Zhu Yingxue's head.
"You brought this filth in, so of course you're the one who needs to clean it up!"
Zhu Yingxue's vision suddenly went black, and her nose was filled with a foul odor. She lost her balance and fell to the ground.
She forcefully pulled the trash can down, her voice becoming much sharper with anger, "Liu Ya, are you crazy?!"
Liu Ya seemed startled and burst into tears, "Sister Yingxue, what's wrong with you? You didn't clean the trash can properly and slipped on dirty water, getting it all over your face. Why are you saying I'm crazy?"
This crying attracted everyone outside the cave.
Pan Lian quickly checked Liu Ya over, "Are you alright? Did she hurt you?"
He didn't even glance at Zhu Yingxue.
Zhu Yingxue was furious. "Aunt Pan, she hit me..."
"Alright, you're always causing trouble. Let's not stay in the cave anymore. Go find those three and do the laundry together!"
Pan Lian didn't want to hear her explanation and waved her hand, "If you can't even do the laundry, then go dig an underground city! But let me tell you, if you don't meet the daily progress in digging an underground city, you won't get any food at all!"
"I...I'll go, okay?"
Zhu Yingxue was so angry that her hands trembled. She had tried every means to stay and clean the cave because she didn't want to do the laundry. Those clothes were not ordinary clothes, but the clothes worn by the workers who dug the underground city!
It's hot now, and those people work non-stop all day long. Their clothes are covered in dirt and mud, and the stench of sweat is enough to make you faint. Even if you can tolerate the smell, washing them is time-consuming and laborious. You can't be too rough, or you'll have to pay for it!
It's all Liu Ya's fault!
She recalled that when she first arrived at the camp, she had planned to replace Jiang Mianmian, but after all these days, she realized that she couldn't even see that girl Jiang Mianmian! Fu Jun wasn't someone anyone could just see! What's worse, both Liu Ya and that widow Pan were targeting her at every turn!
She lowered her head, her nails digging into her palms. No rush, one day she would make them suffer this torment too!
