The Tempting Educated Youth Married to a Rough Man-Chapter 186 - 182: I, Wen Ran, Am Cunning, Lazy, Greedy, and Sly

Chapter 186: Chapter 182: I, Wen Ran, Am Cunning, Lazy, Greedy, and Sly

She ran away, as if she took away the voices of all the aunts and ladies, leaving everyone dumbfounded, not daring to utter a word.

Especially Gao Le, who was completely stunned.

The interaction yesterday only made him realize that Wen Ran is a quick-tempered and straightforward person.

But seeing her today, he figured out that not only her personality is quick, but her slaps are as fast as lightning, scaring people to death.

He shrank back and thought, no wonder the fifth brother was always dissatisfied with others; turns out he likes this fierce type.

Tsk tsk tsk, if they really got married, it would surely be lively.

With Wu Juhua gone, Wen Ran felt much relieved, and of course, the young men worked even more swiftly.

Nobody wanted to mess up the task and face an earful from Wen Ran.

Gao Le talked with Aunt Xiao, and as Wen Ran felt bored, she simply ran to where everyone was working and started helping to move the blue bricks.

No one was lazy, and naturally, the efficiency spoke for itself. But Mrs. Xiao looked at the bricks on the ground and thought that one large truck was almost enough, but...

Why is there another truck?

Gao Le drank some water, wiped his mouth, and said, "Aunt, I’ll head back first, I’ll have to deliver to the neighboring village at noon, I’ll come back here after the afternoon."

"Alright," Mrs. Xiao advised, "Remember to let your family know beforehand, have dinner here, and if it gets too late, just stay overnight with us."

"Sure thing, Aunt," Gao Le leapt onto the tractor, fired it up, and rumbled away.

It was quite the coincidence; just as Gao Le left, the team leader arrived, with eyes full of envy as he looked at the tractor.

"Oh wow, it would be great if our team had a tractor too."

This thing guzzles oil, but it works way more efficiently than oxen.

"Actions speak louder than words," Wen Ran appeared out of nowhere, murmuring, "Just buy one."

The team leader was so startled by Wen Ran that his heart skipped a beat, "You crazy girl, where did you pop out from? You scared the hell out of me."

"Look at your nerves, you’re not young anymore," Wen Ran looked at him with disdain, "Honestly, you should toughen up."

Team Leader: "... Am I toughening up to fight bears?"

Speaking of bears, the team leader immediately grew suspicious.

When he was burying the bear, the more he thought about it, the more it didn’t feel right.

You tell me, how could there be so many coincidences in this world?

Last night, he rushed to the Xiao Family to find Xiao Chenye and Wen Ran, and Song Shilan had an emotional breakdown. The couple considered her feelings and didn’t express any opinions about the bear incident.

But by the next morning, the bear was gone.

Torn apart and eaten by a pack of wolves.

The paws and belly had been hollowed out, yet the original wound on the chest was untouched. Isn’t that bizarre?

Too coincidental.

"Ranran," the team leader looked at Wen Ran, probing, "You didn’t sneak up the mountain to kill the bear in the middle of the night, did you?"

Wen Ran: "..."

Hey!

This old man is too funny.

Her expression unchanged, after a while, her deep gaze fell on the team leader’s face, "Uncle, your sarcasm skills have really improved."

Team Leader: "?"

He was uncertain, "What did you say?"

"You said I killed the bear, so tell me, who would tear a bear to pieces if they slaughtered it, and besides, even if I did eat it, wouldn’t I bleed and dehair it?

What, just holding onto the bear and gnawing on it raw?"

The team leader was momentarily stunned. You know, in this sense, her words made quite a bit of sense.

Wen Ran pouted, starting to complain, "I know, I’ve been lazy lately, not doing much work, and yesterday I even took time off to buy blue bricks.

But did you notice? The things I’m doing now are the ones I’m supposed to be doing."

Team Leader: "What are you talking about?"

"I’m lazy!" Wen Ran puffed out her chest, speaking with moral authority, "I’m sly and gluttonous, but you, you’ve been acting strangely lately."

The team leader was even more clueless.

"You used to insult directly, but now you’re subtle. Who taught you this? Who corrupted our team leader? I’ll go..."

"Oh, cut it out," the team leader scoffed, "All day long, who knows what goes on in that head of yours, I just said it casually.

Seriously, you didn’t work yesterday, so your work points will be deducted!"

Wen Ran’s eyes rolled, she shouted, "Uncle, I’ve just thought it through, I really did kill that bear, you have to give me full work points."

Team Leader: "..."

He gave Wen Ran the finger, "Get lost, young girl, you’re full of nonsense."

Wen Ran: "!"

This gesture, she didn’t teach him that!

The two were chuckling when the team leader planned to bid farewell to Wen Ran and go about his business.

Suddenly, a group of people ran out from the village team, led by a disheveled, crazed-looking woman.

Wen Ran: "..."

For some reason, her heart sank.

In a flash, she ducked behind the team leader.

The team leader was baffled, "Did you get into trouble again?"

"No."

"Then why are you hiding?"

Wen Ran complained, "Uncle, don’t you see?"

"Hmm?"

"Some troubles, I didn’t actively cause them, but some people see me like a dog sees a bone."

The team leader was flabbergasted.

Though crude, the logic...

"It’s okay, it’s okay," the team leader reassured Wen Ran, "You’ve been keeping low lately, what trouble could you be in?

I assure you, they’re not here for you, you just..."

Before he finished, the woman charged straight at the team leader.

Or precisely, at Wen Ran behind the team leader.

Wen Ran: "."

See, I knew it.

The team leader’s head throbbed, "Gouwa’s mother, why... why are you here?"

"Why am I here?" Gouwa’s mother’s eyes were full of tears, "My son is dead, the Qian Family’s only heir is dead, I’m here for justice."

Team Leader: "???"

He felt the world had turned upside down.

"Gouwa’s mother, you must be mistaken, everyone is saddened by Gouwa’s loss, but you can’t wrong someone without reason."

"Without reason?" Gouwa’s mother’s eyes were red, her face twisted as if she wanted to devour someone, "How can you say such a heartless thing? Are you still the team leader of our brigade? Wen Ran is just a educated youth; even if she’s part of our brigade, she’s not one of us!"

She cried hysterically, "How can you not distinguish between what’s right and wrong? How could you!"

The team leader frowned, "Gouwa’s mother, you need to have a conscience when doing things, you know how much convenience Wen Ran has brought to our brigade since she came down here, don’t you?"

Moreover, after spring plowing, they awarded last year’s advanced brigade because of Wen Ran’s lifesaving deeds.

The benefits, they were real and came directly to the brigade.

But to avoid Wen Ran being targeted by enemies, the commune and even the team leader kept it all quiet and said nothing.
