Chapter 59 Bowing Down and Admitting Defeat

Zhang Qianwen was now even more devastated. She had only intended to take advantage of Luo Zixi and annoy her, but she ended up digging her own grave.

Moreover, she felt that she had done nothing wrong and that Luo Zixi and the others had deliberately set her up!

Given this, and considering the village secretary's demeanor, it was clear he didn't want to help her resolve the matter.

The thought of returning to that terrifying old Bai family mansion soon made Zhang Qianwen furious. She plopped down on the ground, sobbing and wailing.

"I'm not going back! I'll stay at the educated youth settlement!"

"How can a young woman like me live in that place!"

"Secretary, why don't you let the two women live with me? I won't charge them rent!"

"Just live with me and help me with the housework."

Village Party Secretary Liu Dashan just grinned:

“Zhang Zhiqing, our brigade is just providing a lodging place for educated youth.”

"If you don't want to live here, that's your choice, we won't force you. If you have the means, you can also rent a place outside."

"This is something that everyone has agreed upon."

"It's not like you can do whatever you want, nor is it like I can make you do whatever I want."

"We still need to uphold democracy and fairness."

"If you want someone to live with you, you should discuss it with them yourself."

"I have no right to force others to do this."

"This is wrong and immoral."

Upon hearing what the village secretary said, Zhang Qianwen immediately understood.

Yes, you can invite other people to come and stay with you.

She quickly extended invitations to several other female educated youths:

"Ladies, come and stay with me."

“Look how crowded this educated youth settlement is, and how inconvenient it is to live here. The place where I live has many houses, and each house is very big.”

"It's better for young women to have their own independent space."

"I won't charge you any money. You can just come over and help me clean up and cook some meals."

Hearing Zhang Qianwen say this, and seeing her previous behavior, the remaining female educated youths quickly shook their heads and waved their hands.

Although they do want their own independent space, they need to have the ability to live there first.

After all, judging from Zhang Qianwen's current behavior, it's clear that the Bai family's old house isn't a comfortable place to live.

Most importantly, Zhang Qianwen is someone you shouldn't associate with.

She has the temperament of a spoiled young lady, as if everyone has to give in to her and protect her.

Who could stand this?

They had no choice but to come to the countryside, and they were already full of resentment.

In the end, I still have to be bossed around by this rich young lady. Isn't that just asking for trouble?

I also have to go over there to cook for her and do housework.

Did you live with her in the past, or did you work as her maid in the past?

Actually, if Zhang Qianwen is easy to get along with and has a good temper, it wouldn't be a bad thing to help her with more things.

But judging from her behavior today, who knows when Zhang Qianwen will go crazy again!

Therefore, no female educated youth was willing to do such a thing. The male educated youth were even less willing; they had neither the money nor the place to stay.

Besides, living with a woman, especially a crazy one, they wouldn't go looking for trouble; wouldn't that tarnish their reputation?

Gu Yancheng has his own ideas, Zhang Tuo has his own people to fawn over, Luo Dazhong is Gu Yancheng's loyal follower, and Li Guogang just had a conflict with Zhang Qianwen today, so he's even less likely to give her a good look.

Besides, he's a virgin young man, and he still cares about his reputation!

As a result, naturally no one wanted to talk to her.

This is getting interesting. Seeing this, Zhang Qianwen started crying and making a fuss again.

"You should bring two people with you back with me. I'll pay you, isn't that enough?"

At this moment, the relatively good-natured Elaine Chao couldn't help but say:

“Zhang Zhiqing, this isn’t about money.”

“It’s obviously inappropriate for a group of girls like us to live outside.”

"After all, there are thugs like Chen Feng out there. What if they come knocking on our door in the middle of the night and bully us?"

“We don’t have Luo Zhiqing’s good methods.”

"Now that Luo, a former educated youth, is living in the educated youth settlement, we all feel at ease."

"Even if she's not here, aren't there still a few male educated youths here?"

"So, I think we should forget about it and you'll have to figure out another way yourself."

Seeing that even the usually easy-going Elaine Chao said this, Zhang Qianwen knew she had no hope.

This made her cry even harder.

"I don't care, I just don't want to go back alone. Either let me stay at the educated youth settlement, or send someone to live with me!"

"Aren't you trying to scam me? You think you can bully a girl like me? I'm calling the police!"

"I'm going to have the police arrest you all."

Zhang Qianwen's tantrum was giving the village secretary and brigade leader a real headache.

They also knew that the house was haunted.

But they had already made it clear when they rented the house that it wasn't for just anyone, and they wouldn't be responsible for any problems that might arise.

They had informed her of the risks beforehand, but Zhang Qianwen still insisted on going in. Who can she blame?

Even if she calls the police, the officers won't side with her.

However, saying this would be somewhat disreputable. Because on the surface, it does seem like a deliberate attempt to scam someone.

Shen Yuzhu, who was standing nearby, also had a headache from Zhang Qianwen's crying and fussing.

Moreover, she wanted to curry favor with Luo Zixi, so she immediately started acting as a peacemaker:
