The Tempting Educated Youth Married to a Rough Man-Chapter 33: The End of This Absurdity

The team leader never expected that within this matter, this seemingly honest couple were actually watching Bao Wenxuan being taken away by Sun Juan.

In fact, to put it more maliciously,

they were accomplices too.

Bao Wenxuan forced a smile, "I live at your place, but I haven’t taken advantage of you, have I?"

While staying these few days, she gave them five yuan, three catties of refined white rice, and half a catty of milk candy.

She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, "You’re getting on in years, I don’t want to get physical with you. Now, return everything I gave you."

The elderly couple exchanged glances and directly kneeled before Bao Wenxuan, "Boo-hoo, young lady! We truly meant no harm!

Where’s the harm in marrying Jinbao?"

"That’s right!" The old lady, with wrinkles all over her face, white hair clinging tightly to her deeply sunken cheeks due to the rain, "Women!

They have to marry one day anyway. Instead of marrying those with a belly full of deceit, why not marry Jinbao?

He may seem stupid and ugly, but he cherishes you as if his life depends on it!"

She lifted her head, her face full of resentment, "Why would being with him cause you grievance?"

Wen Ran: "Pfft~"

Sorry, reminded me of reading melodramatic literature as a child, and cringed.

Bao Wenxuan is still young, moreover, her parents loved her excessively, leaving her hardly exposed to the dark side of society.

Facing this situation, Wen Ran felt it was her moment to step in.

She pulled Bao Wenxuan over and gave her a look, "Enough, you have to grow up slowly. Leave the rest to me."

Bao Wenxuan wiped her tears, glared fiercely at the old crone, and threw out, "Screw you! A mouth full of nonsense, I’m not arguing with you."

The old woman, thoroughly infuriated, now revealed her true colors, reaching out with a shaky hand to retaliate, "You little brat, who are you hollering at?

You..."

"Stop!" Wen Ran clicked her tongue, interrupting the old woman’s tirade, "Let me be candid, this Sun Jin, anyone with him is bound to suffer.

Claims to cherish with his life, I almost laugh myself to death. What’s that? His life is precious?

Only those with no strengths at all would dryly claim to cherish someone with their life."

Wen Ran looked down on the old woman sharply, "You really are getting old, and your heart’s rotted; such words, good thing you can still utter them.

If Sun Jin’s so good, you should be with Sun Jin yourself~"

Under the terrified expressions of the team leader and others, Wen Ran articulated smoothly, with a sarcastic tone, "After all, Sun Jin cherishes you, with his life~"

"You..."

Wen Ran swiftly interrupted, "Cut the crap, now, return Bao Wenxuan’s things. From now on, we’re not staying with your heartless, rotten lot.

And Sun Juan, you big fool, compensatory damages, emotional distress; if you don’t fork out five yuan and keep your mouth shut, then..."

Wen Ran sneered, "Either we report you to the police, and you face hard consequences, or you marry off, and we’ll fight to the bitter end."

Sun Juan was truly frightened; she never imagined, after hunting geese all these days, she’d finally get pecked on the eye.

"I swear," Sun Juan trembled, "I really have no money. Can’t I just apologize? I won’t say anything once I’m out!"

"That won’t do, your words are worthless like empty promises."

Wen Ran borrowed some paper and a pen from the team leader and drafted three copies of agreements, "Sign and seal the compensation, missing any step is unacceptable."

If treated lightly, whoever sees this would try to take a piece off them in the future?

It’s best if it works, if not, oh well.

After all, there’s nothing to lose, and who knows, might gain something instead.

If it doesn’t work out, they might as well bicker about it every day.

Sun Juan refused to sign, adamantly.

If her in-laws found out, that she was unrepentant, meddling with her family, and lost five yuan in the process.

Her mother-in-law would tear her to pieces, wouldn’t she?

"Fine," Wen Ran decisively, "Then let’s inform the police, your charges, at least minor ones, are causing trouble, going behind bars for a bit.

At most, it’s abduction and coercion of women, enough for severe consequences."

After speaking, Wen Ran paused, looking down at Sun Juan’s unpredictable face, "Think it over carefully."

Sun Juan cried loudly in anger, "I’ll sign, I’ll sign, alright?"

The supposedly honest and innocent old couple were also pressed to sign the agreement, then dug out two yuan as compensation.

The matter was thus completely brought to a close.

But as Sun Juan stumbled, pulling her brother away, Wen Ran casually reminded.

"By the way, I’m not as easy-going as Bao Wenxuan.

If I hear rumors against me, hmm~" she smiled sweetly, "Then don’t blame me for retaliating harshly."

Sun Juan tugged Sun Jin, running faster than a rabbit.

The ridiculous affair, thus concluded.

Mrs. Xiao looked at Wen Ran’s departing figure, her eyes practically shining.

Mhm, likes her more and more.

What should she do?

Why is her son so useless?

Given his good-looking face, even if nothing else, can’t he woo someone?

Hilarious, she would deal with him once home!

Xiao Wen isn’t her daughter-in-law yet, surely because Xiao Chenye hasn’t tried hard enough!

After driving away those shameless people, Bao Wenxuan clutched her belongings tightly to her chest and cried, tears streaming like on soft white buns.

Wen Ran sighed, "Okay, okay, don’t cry. Is it that big of a deal? We’ll just find another place."

"Boo-hoo, Ranran, I feel my kindness was wasted on dogs. Seeing their age, whatever work I could manage, I did," she extended her fair little hand which was now unrecognizable.

Blisters and lines of blood marks.

Mrs. Xiao’s eyes sparkled, "Aw dear, don’t cry, here’s an idea, why not stay at our place till you’ve settled your new house?"

No way, since her son is inadequate, she’d step in, grab good favor first.

Wen Ran lit up, "Auntie, is it really okay?"

"Why wouldn’t it be? The room you’ll stay in is huge, fitting three to five more isn’t an issue."

Bao Wenxuan stopped crying and sniffed, "Auntie, if I come over, wouldn’t it be troubling you?"

"Not at all!" Mrs. Xiao waved grandly, "It’s just a matter of adding a ladle of water to the cooking."

Bao Wenxuan felt slightly embarrassed, "Auntie, you’ll need to add a ladle and a half, I have quite an appetite."

That remark brought laughter.

"Alright, alright, let’s get down to business," Wen Ran said seriously, "Uncle, you see, it’s not our group of educated youth that’s troublesome, but some families are really hard to deal with.

I plan to build a small house in our team for residence."

The team leader sighed, recalling the recent farce, feeling embarrassed, "Alright, but there’s something I must tell you upfront."
