Gu An’an was deep in thought as she packed her things. Her hands moved quickly and it didn’t take long for her to pack all the things she was going to bring out.

But she wasn’t in a hurry to get out.

In any case, she had already packed everything she needed. Coupled with the fact that it was still early, she would just be waiting if she reached there at this time.

Hence, Gu An’an returned to the bedroom to take a hot bath and have a good meal. Only then did she leave the space happily with her stuff.

Being in a good mood, when she looked at the old houses on both sides of the road again, her opinion of this place seemed to have changed overnight.

However, compared to her good mood, the current mood of Wen Taohua and Huang Dahai in the Zhao Village was not so pleasant.

The two of them had woken up late in the morning. After washing up, they went into the kitchen and made some food for breakfast before rushing to the village entrance.

However, when the two of them arrived, they did not even see a soul, let alone the ox cart.

Looking at the empty village entrance in front of her, Wen Taohua suddenly felt like her internal organs were bursting into flames.

A ball of anger was burning in her chest. It caused her so much pain that her facial features became contorted as a result.

At this moment, Huang Dahai was in an extremely foul mood. He didn’t expect those veterans to not wake him when they left for work, causing him to wake up late.

How were they going to get to town at this time?

Wen Taohua was so angry that her face was darker than the soot on the bottom of a pot. She gritted her teeth and said, “These people are really too much! They knew that we were going to town to buy things today, but in the end, no one bothered to wake us up.”

She glanced at Huang Dahai and said, “Even if they just called out to us once, we wouldn’t have ended up being late.”

Her words sounded like she was blaming those veterans for being unhelpful, but in fact, she was deliberately slandering them in front of Huang Dahai.

She wanted to let him know that at any critical moment, she was the only one who would wake him up and be on his side. As for the other youths…

None of them were reliable.

“Let’s go to the village chief’s house to look for him!” After saying this with a dark gaze, Huang Dahai turned around and left.

Seeing this, Wen Taohua was delighted. She quickly suppressed the smug look in her eyes and jogged after him.

The two of them stormed angrily towards the village head’s house, believing that if they sought the village head’s intervention, he would arrange for someone to drive them to town in the tractor.

One had to know that a four-wheeled vehicle was much better than an ox cart.

Unexpectedly…

After explaining the situation, instead of receiving comforting words from the village head, they were reprimanded by him.

Zhao Zhiyuan seemed very displeased with them. Looking at the two individuals in front of him, his tone became icy cold. “So, both of you missed the ox cart to town because you overslept and woke up late?”

“When the four of you arrived at Zhao Village yesterday, I made it very clear. You have to wake up early. If you are late, you’ll have to walk to town yourself.”

“What’s wrong? Why are you complaining at my house now?” He looked at Wen Taohua and Huang Dahai with a cold gaze. His impression of them was plummeting.

From the looks of it, his youngest son was right. These two were indeed troublemakers.

It was one thing for a girl to come to his house to complain about the other youths, but Huang Dahai, a grown man, was actually following her and doing the same thing?

Since he woke up late, he did not know how to reflect on himself. Instead, he was pushing the blame to others. Did he have any sense of shame?

“We…”

For a moment, Wen Taohua was frightened by the village chief’s gaze, but at the thought of being unable to get to town if she didn’t speak up, she put on a look of grievance and began to explain herself.

“Village Chief, we just arrived here in the countryside from the city. It’s nothing unusual if we haven’t adjusted to the timings here. How can you put all the blame on us?”

“Besides, there are clearly so many people living in the dormitory, but all of them are so selfish. After waking up, they quietly left and disregarded us, the newbies. They’re obviously using their status as veterans to ostracize those who had just arrived…”

Her words were clearly shameless, causing the village chief and the woman, who had just returned from pulling weeds, to look completely stunned.

Two pairs of eyes landed on her at the same time. They were shocked by this newbie’s shameless behavior. Having no sense of punctuality and missing the cart because they overslept—to think that they still believed that this was someone else’s fault.

Although Huang Dahai was standing by the side without saying a word, a subtle gleam flickered in his lowered eyes. The corners of his mouth were slightly curled up. He was not going to take the initiative to speak. In any case, the village chief had to give them an explanation.

“Heh, it seems that my son was right! There’s something seriously wrong with your brains. You should be dragged out there to be reprimanded.” Before Zhao Zhiyuan could start telling them off, a woman’s voice sounded behind the three of them.

“You!”

Hearing these words again early in the morning, Wen Taohua’s body stiffened. Then, she turned around angrily and glared at the woman. “Who are you? We’re talking to the village chief. Is this any of your business?”

“Oh, you are quite good at talking back!” The woman laughed out in anger. She raised her voice and shouted at Zhao Zhiyuan, “Old man, come and tell this… thick-skinned youth who I am.”

Zhao Zhiyuan glanced at her and his voice turned cold again. “Comrade Wen, Comrade Huang, if the two of you continue to cause trouble, don’t blame me for getting someone to drag you to the commune office!”

His words were clearly telling Wen Taohua that the woman who had spoken just now was his wife.

“…”

In the next moment.

Wen Taohua’s face turned pale. She could never have imagined that this woman was the village chief’s wife.

First, she had left a bad impression on the village chief’s son. Now, she had offended the chief’s wife as well? Oh no, oh no. Would she be able to live peacefully in Zhao Village from now on?

“Village Chief, I’m sorry. It’s my fault this time. I’ll definitely correct my behavior.” Huang Dahai’s face had turned quite pale. He hurriedly said a few words to Zhao Zhiyuan and quickly fled.

However, when he thought of that fool Wen Taohua, his eyes turned cold. He was not going to let this incident slide so easily.

“I, I, I…”

Now that Huang Dahai had suddenly run away, Wen Taohua was left alone to face the two pairs of eyes staring at her. Wen Taohua swallowed in fear and said with a pale face, “I’m sorry.”

With that, she turned around and ran away.

As guilt and uneasiness filled her entire heart, Wen Taohua could not see what was happening to her feet at all. She only knew that she was running out of the door in a hurry. In a moment of carelessness, a resounding crash echoed through the Zhao residence courtyard.

Zhao Zhiyuan and his wife were speechless. Was there a ghost chasing after her??
