Chapter 12

They were eating, but the village was still in an uproar.

The reason... that was because Rong Yan had bought a lot of things today, and even purchased the second bicycle in the village.

That was a big deal.

Their village was poor, and only the team leader's family had a bicycle, which was usually treated like a treasure.

Everyone in the village was very envious.

Now, Rong Zhiqing, who married Qin Ye, had actually bought a bicycle.

Many people regretted it a lot.

If they had known Rong Yan had so much money, they would have made an earlier move… to marry her into their family.

Look, this time, not only did she buy a bicycle, which was so valuable, but she actually loaded up the bicycle with large and small packages.

How much money must that have cost?

Many people were even more sour, Qin Ye, that kid… must have stepped in some incredible luck, right?

This news naturally reached the ears of the intellectual youth in the dormitory.

During the time when college entrance exams were reinstated, of the several intellectual youths in Qin Family's Team, only Ye Yu was accepted into a university.

The others performed too poorly and were not admitted.

The main issue was the lack of time; by the time they received the news, they couldn't find any books.

Later, it was Ye Yu who managed to get some review materials and textbooks from someone.

However, for them, who hadn't studied or read much over the years, having textbooks and review materials was useless.

They worked in the fields every day here, and the knowledge they once had was long returned.

So, it wasn't surprising at all that they failed the college entrance exams.

Since the intellectual youth couldn't leave here and return to the city because they weren't admitted to any universities, they naturally had to stay here.

So, when they heard that Rong Yan actually bought a bicycle, they were also shocked.

"Really, I can't see how Rong Yan has so much money." As for the money being Qin Ye's? They never even considered it—who didn't know Qin Ye's family was the poorest?

If he had money, he wouldn't have let his younger brothers and sisters be skinny from hunger.

In the past few years, Qin Ye's family had nearly no food to eat.

Rich, my ass.

Gu Lan was about to explode with anger, the grudge from being outwitted by Rong Yan yesterday was still there.

She suddenly scoffed, "Who knows where her money came from, it might be dirty money!"

Xu Ke heard what Gu Lan said, and her eyes flickered.

She didn't defend Rong Yan, after all, she hated her too.

Only when Rong Yan was in trouble did she feel relieved.

Gu Lan's face was still swollen from being hit, and she was in no mood to express her anger.

She immediately directed her anger toward Xu Ke, "Xu Ke, aren't you closest to Ms. Rong? You should know best where her money came from!"

Xu Ke didn't expect Gu Lan to ask her that.

Her face darkened.

"How would I know? And if we're talking closeness, I think you were closest to her, right? You should know best."

Gu Lan pointed at her own face with her hand, "Me, close to her? Would I be beaten to this state by that bitch?"

She had already torn her face with that bitch Rong Yan, so she didn't even bother keeping up appearances.

Xu Ke looked at that horrible face and remained silent.

Then she added, "That's still the result of you provoking her."

She still spoke with a hint of blame—if Gu Lan hadn't handled that situation poorly.

Would Rong Yan have changed so much?

That bitch was now out of control.

And Qin Ye, he hadn't died as she had dreamed; he had only injured a leg.

All these changes made her quite uneasy.
