Chapter 80: They sat on a stool, ate some melon seeds, and brewed a cup of tea.

In the end, Zhang Qianwen was helped back by two relatively easy-going female educated youths; no one else dared to get involved.

After all, Zhang Qianwen's previous behavior was truly chilling.

These days, people are very particular about social customs, and all of these male educated youths are afraid of being bothered by Zhang Qianwen.

It's also Zhang Qianwen's fault for courting disaster by spouting nonsense and wanting to report it.

In those days of scarcity, every household had to exchange food and other goods.

Moreover, prohibiting speculation does not mean that no transactions are allowed at all; normal buying and selling is permitted.

Speculation refers to buying things at a low price and then reselling them at a high price to earn huge profits in between.

If a pound of rice costs four or five cents, but someone insists on selling it for one or two dollars a pound, then that's considered speculation and profiteering.

However, the definition of this matter is somewhat vague. If it is strictly enforced, even in normal transactions, malicious individuals can fabricate a crime against someone.

Although Crescent Moon Mountain is not wealthy, the villagers are very united, and most of them are hardworking and honest people.

There are bound to be some exchanges between people, and no one can say they will never need to ask for help from others in their entire life.

Therefore, if Zhang Qianwen really reports it, the whole village will be in trouble.

People like her are the most annoying in the village, no wonder those older women were beating her up.

After Zhang Qianwen was taken away, the scene became much quieter.

With one less noisy person around, everyone can finally get to work in peace.

The newly arrived educated youth, unaware of the situation, all went to the educated youth settlement first.

Six more people came this time, three men and three women in total.

Now things are really messed up; there's simply not enough room for the educated youth to live in the settlement.

The male educated youth were better off; they could make do with whatever they could find.

Moreover, Gu Yancheng and Luo Dazhong have already gone out to rent houses. They found a place yesterday and have already moved in.

This also freed up some space for the male educated youth.

But now only Luo Zixi, one of the female educated youth, has gone out to rent a house; the others are still crammed into the educated youth settlement.

Shen Yuzhu was waiting for her enemy from a past life to come, wanting to see if he would be the same as before.

The original female lead, Su Wanwan, had a conflict with Zhang Qianwen right from the start, which made Shen Yuzhu's eyes light up.

Unlike before, she didn't immediately cause trouble for Su Wanwan, as that would easily attract attention.

People like Zhang Qianwen, who are brainless, and Luo Zixi, who likes to confront others head-on, are either enough to give Su Wanwan a hard time. She just needs to provoke them at the right time.

The only thing that Shen Yuzhu regretted was that Luo Zixi and Su Wanwan didn't fight just now; it would have been even more interesting otherwise.

Su Wanwan had a good impression of Luo Zixi, feeling that the other party was a capable female educated youth.

Moreover, one could see a sense of apprehension in the way the villagers looked at Luo Zixi.

Luo Zixi's beauty even made Su Wanwan feel inferior. She knew very well that in a place like this, being good-looking wasn't necessarily a good thing.

The fact that everyone seemed to hold Luo Zixi in such awe was quite intriguing.

Su Wanwan was perceptive and immediately noticed something amiss, so she wanted to befriend Luo Zixi.

She had just arrived here and was unfamiliar with the place, so having a capable female comrade like Luo Zixi as her companion was definitely a good thing.

But she also keenly sensed that Luo Zixi didn't seem to care about her at all.

When selling things, Luo Zixi always handled it professionally, ensuring that the money and goods were exchanged completely.

And then, that was it...

The other party clearly had no desire to have any deep interaction with her, which left Su Wanwan feeling somewhat helpless.

She had been having a smooth journey, and everyone around her, regardless of gender, got along well with her. However, it seemed that she had run into a snag with Luo Zixi.

This piqued her interest even more.

These six newly arrived educated youths were all unfamiliar with the environment and needed a day to rest.

It's a good opportunity to get a house assigned, familiarize myself with the environment, and also find out about the village.

Every educated youth who came here felt somewhat apprehensive.

However, among the female educated youth who were sent to work in Crescent Moon Mountain, there were quite a few beauties.

The most beautiful is naturally Luo Zixi, the newcomer Su Wanwan is also good, and Shen Yuzhu is next.

Even Zhang Qianwen, who throws tantrums, is actually quite good-looking. However, as the saying goes, appearance reflects the heart, and her personality inevitably gives her a somewhat sharp and mean-spirited air.

Today, Luo Zixi's performance undoubtedly piqued the curiosity of the new educated youth.

Even Meng Xingming, the male lead next to Su Wanwan, couldn't help but glance at Luo Zixi a few more times.

Compared to this, Su Wanwan, whom he had always cherished, seemed to be slightly inferior.

However, he disliked Luo Zixi's assertive personality, which put him under a lot of pressure. He felt that if they ever argued and fought, he might not even be able to beat her.

It's a very subtle intuition. He already had this feeling just from seeing Luo Zixi slap Zhang Qianwen.

Su Wanwan by his side was still the best, and he decided to become a loyal lapdog.

What puzzled him was that when he accidentally made eye contact with Luo Zixi just now, he clearly felt that the girl's gaze towards him carried a hint of schadenfreude.

That's right, Luo Zixi almost shouted it out:

"Hey, Green Hat Guy, you're here? I want to see a real love triangle! Hurry up and put on a show!"

That's what Luo Zixi thought, and that's what she did.

When she heard Meng Xingming call Su Wanwan's name during the argument, she knew that the male and female leads, as well as the male and female supporting characters, were all there, and there was going to be a good show to watch!
