She just rejected, her attitude clear, giving the other party not a hint of imagination.

"..." Liu Cuizhi’s face became even paler, she could clearly feel the strong sense of rejection and alienation emanating from "Heh Yuntian".

Although "he" had a smile on his face, and his attitude was calm, that kind of rejection was more firm than ever!

The three words "don’t need" gave Liu Cuizhi a strange sense of shame—people don’t need it! It’s not that they can’t have it!

Come to think of it, even if Educated Youth Heh was down and out, he was still from the city.

He had seen a lot of the world, eaten good things, how could he care about a single egg or a few slices of meat she brought?

In their rural area, eggs are the best thing, a gift that can express one’s heart.

But to someone like Heh Yuntian from the city, it’s probably just ordinary, he simply doesn’t care.

Also, the 30 cents she brought, she had saved it for years.

And Heh Yuntian, just from Han Dongmei, got a watch worth more than a hundred yuan!

With a swish, Liu Cuizhi’s face flushed bright red.

This time it wasn’t because of shyness, but the realization that she had done something embarrassing!

"Yes, sorry, I, I really didn’t mean anything else!"

Liu Cuizhi stammered, feeling a little aggrieved, she just liked Heh Yuntian, and for him, she didn’t mind saving her own ration to give to him.

In the end, people simply "didn’t need"!

Those three words "don’t need" were simply too hurtful.

Liu Cuizhi only felt her sincere heart was shattered into pieces.

In this moment, she felt even more that she had no face to appear in front of Heh Yuntian, tightly clutching her handkerchief, she turned and ran away.

He Tiantian silently said sorry, then conjured a Lucky Fish Talisman for Liu Cuizhi in the air.

"Old Heh, did you send out your manuscript?"

He Tiantian was holding a washbasin as she was about to head back inside. As she passed the central hall, a male Educated Youth saw him and quickly called out.

His name was Qian Guodong, he lived in the room next to Heh Yuntian.

When the original owner showed off Han Dongmei’s subsidies, he often benefited from it.

After Han Dongmei caused a scene, Qian Guodong was the first to distance himself from Heh Yuntian.

But at this moment, his face was full of smiles and he even proactively offered He Tiantian advice, "Oh, let me tell you, there’s no need to bother with all this!"

Submitting something, is it that easy?

Besides, what era is it now?

Every word spoken needs to be thought over to see if it’s right, worried about whether there might be loopholes for others to report.

Writing, that’s even more dangerous.

If you’re not careful, it’s not just about earning a manuscript fee, one might even be labeled.

By that time, it’s not just about the 500 yuan debt, even your life might be at stake!

"If it really doesn’t work, we brothers can help you gather some together."

When Qian Guodong said this, he didn’t forget to glance at Chen Jianjun, who was also in the hall.

Oh my!

He Tiantian’s eyes flickered, she understood, this was likely Chen Jianjun’s idea.

Someone like Qian Guodong, who liked to take advantage of others, after abandoning "Heh Yuntian", had joined under Chen Jianjun’s wing.

No choice, Chen Jianjun was also from the Educated Youth Corps, his family background second only to Han Dongmei.

Though not as well off as the original owner was, he was still wealthier than other Educated Youth members in the corps.

Just a bit slipping through his fingers could attract lackeys like Qian Guodong to help him forge ahead.

"Yes, Old Heh, writing is too unreliable, I still have some money, why don’t I lend it to you?"

Chen Jianjun seized the opportunity to follow up, verbally offering help, but his eyes betrayed a glimmer of malice.

He didn’t control his volume, so his words about lending money to "Heh Yuntian" were heard not only by the three or four male Educated Youth members in the hall, but also by the female Educated Youth members in the women’s dormitory on the east side.

"Zhuoya, is it true that Heh Yuntian is out of money?"

Though Liu Weihong didn’t quite get along with Zhuoya, she ironically ended up sharing a room with her.

Aside from verbally sparring in daily life, they would also chat about some gossip.

Vaguely hearing the conversation of the male Educated Youth members in the hall, Liu Weihong temporarily suppressed her envy and jealousy towards Zhuoya and curiously asked.

"I don’t know, I’m just ordinary friends with Comrade Heh Yuntian just like you, if you don’t know the secrets, how would I know?"

Zhuoya, with the review materials she had copied by hand, was hungrily studying.

Upon hearing Liu Weihong’s words, she suppressed her impatience and softly replied.

"Ordinary friends"?

Ha, fooling Ghost!
