Chapter 26: You Can Leave If You Want To. No One Will Indulge You

As soon as this matter was settled, the village chief, Zhao Zhiyuan, immediately said, “That’s all for now. I’ll get someone to bring your rations later on. It’s getting late. Hurry up and get something to eat before resting. Tomorrow morning, there will be an ox cart going to town. You can just wait for the ox cart at the village entrance at the specified timing.”

With that, the village chief strode away.

After the village chief left, Song Hongxuan took the initiative to introduce the new arrivals to the youth dormitory.

“Hello, I’m Song Hongxuan, the team leader of the youth dormitory. There are three rooms in this courtyard. To the left is the male dormitory. Including this new guy, there are a total of six people. The two rooms on the right are the female dormitories. The larger room originally had five people living in it. Including the newcomers, there will be six people in total. The other room that has been tidied up is your residence.”

“You must be tired from the long journey. Go into the rooms and put your things away. You can rest for a while before making a meal for yourself. Tomorrow at noon, I’ll hold a simple welcome party for you. You can ask us any questions that you have during the party.”

Huang Dahai had always been good at picking up cues by reading people’s expressions, so he nodded with a smile. “Okay, thank you! By the way, my name is Huang Dahai. I’m from New Capital City. In the future, I’ll be joining all of you as an educated youth to help with rural development.”

After he was done with the introductions, the others started introducing themselves.

Gu An’an was the last to introduce herself. She simply told everyone her name. “My name is Gu An’an!”

The moment she finished speaking, an aggrieved and serious voice suddenly came from inside the house. “Can’t you make an exception? I don’t like sleeping in the middle. How am I going to sleep in such a cramped space…?”

Upon hearing this, everyone was momentarily stunned. No one had expected this person to cause trouble right after arriving.

Gu An’an took a quick glance at the expressions on the faces of the seniors and couldn’t help but smile. Judging from the ugly expressions on their faces, it was highly likely that Wen Taohua, the troublemaker, had incurred the wrath of everyone the moment she arrived.

Song Hongxuan smiled awkwardly. “Let’s go. I’ll bring you to your dormitory.”

Gu An’an and the other girl named Qiao Yu had no objections. The two of them nodded and followed him into the small room with their luggages.

When she passed by the first room, she saw Wen Taohua crying with an aggrieved expression. “The bunk in the middle is so narrow. I don’t want to take that spot. I want the corner spot. That’s the best position…” She pointed at the bunk against the inner wall, insisting on taking that spot.

She had initially thought that the beds in the big room would definitely be better than those in the unoccupied small room. She was thinking that she would have one bed to herself. But to her surprise, the bed was as narrow as the one she had at home. No wonder there was only one empty bed available.

“You’re the one who chose to move into this room. And now you are stirring up trouble. What’s your deal? Liu Xiaohui’s expression turned cold when she saw that Wen Taohua was pointing at her bed.

Her intuition was right. This newcomer was clearly a troublemaker.

Wen Taohua’s face turned red from her rebuttal and she got rather worked up. “I didn’t know that the bed space in this room would be so narrow. If I really sleep here, wouldn’t I be squashed by you guys at night?”

“In any case, I don’t care. I’m new here. You should give in to me. I want to take that spot.”

She pointed at the bunk at the corner and refused to back down. Speaking with an entitled tone, it was as if she expected everyone to give in to her request. It was an extreme display of arrogance.

Liu Xiaohui had completely run out of patience. She pointed at the door with a cold expression. “If you don’t want to stay here, get out!”
