After a while, Xu Yao said, "Aren't you curious about what Yang Wanwan is doing in the county town? They won't last long with just 13,000 yuan. They must have new ways to make money."

Yang Yixuan nodded: "Exactly. At their rate of spending money like this, they'll need three thousand yuan a year in high school, and Er Ye and Shang Tao together will need two or three thousand a year. So, thirteen thousand yuan will be gone in two years. Therefore, Yang Wanwan will definitely try to find a way to earn money."

Fu Xiaojuan said, "Why don't we follow them and see what they're doing and how they make money?"

Yang Qingliang said, "You may not know, but the county town and the countryside are very different. Some girls don't maintain their integrity; they make money faster that way. Do you understand what I'm saying?"

The three girls looked at Yang Qingliang and quickly understood what he meant.

Fu Xiaojuan said, "No way. Yang Wanwan doesn't seem like that kind of person."

Yang Yixuan pouted: "That's hard to say! Yang Wanwan is a cunning and resourceful person. Who knows what she might do? She even sent my dad and my uncle to the police station. There's nothing she wouldn't dare to do."

Xu Yao nodded in agreement: "Yang Wanwan has a withdrawn and mature personality. She didn't play with us when we were in school. So, she probably prefers mature people."

Yang Yixuan said, "Then let's do it this way. We'll follow her and see what she's up to. I don't believe that a little orphan like her, with no relatives or friends, could find anything decent to do."

Sunday afternoon.

Yang Wanwan saw off her younger siblings and welcomed Hu Youjin.

Hu Youjin brought some homemade dishes, made by Yang Xiaogu, and asked Hu Youjin to give them to Yang Wanwan.

At the same time, it also brought back a reply from Yang Xiaogu, who said she would consider it.

Yang Wanwan did not urge her.

On Sunday night, the two stayed in the school dormitory as required by school regulations.

As soon as Hu Youjin returned to the dormitory, Guan Fangfang grabbed her hair and yelled, "Hu Youjin, I'll beat you to death, you bitch!"

Hu Youjin was caught off guard by Guan Fangfang's fierceness and was pushed and shoved against the railing, her back aching from the pressure.

"Guan Fangfang, what are you doing? Are you crazy!"

Without waiting for a reply, Hu Youjin remembered Yang Wanwan's words and slapped her across the face.

People are bullying you to the point of no return, are you just sitting here waiting to die?

Hu Youjin was already furious. Her mother was crying and sobbing, her father was disgusting, and she didn't know where the tuition fees for next year would come from.

She felt she hadn't learned anything well after a week of school last week and didn't know if she could keep up with the class's pace.

Despite Yang Wanwan's help and care, she was still filled with despair and fear about the future.

In that instant, she had a suicidal thought towards Guan Fangfang. So, after slapping Guan Fangfang, she grabbed Guan Fangfang's hair and slammed her head against the railing.

Hu Youjin has done a lot of farm work in the past six months, so she is physically stronger than Guan Fangfang, who is a pampered young lady. With her fierce attack, Guan Fangfang has no chance to resist.

It was her follower Miao Feng who, seeing that things were going badly, quickly came over to help Guan Fangfang.

But Hu Youjin had taken drastic measures, and Miao Feng had many things to consider, so she was also in a flurry of activity.

After all, it was two against one, and soon all three of them were panting and sitting on the ground, resulting in a draw.

The dorm leader, who had been telling them to stop fighting, angrily said, "The three of you fighting should be reported to the dorm supervisor according to the rules. Now you tell me, are you going to report it or not!"

Guan Fangfang said, "Report! The dormitory manager reported Hu Youjin to the teaching affairs office, intending to expel this scourge who spreads rumors!"

Hu Youjin didn't speak; she sat on the ground, lost in thought.

The dorm head said, "Guan Fangfang, are you sure you want to report this? You were the one who hit someone first. With so many people watching, I'm not going to lie for you."

Guan Fangfang was stunned.

Guan Fangfang looked at her other roommates, most of whom had distant and indifferent expressions.

There are fourteen people in the dormitory. Besides Hu Youjin, the dormitory head, and Guan Fangfang, there are ten other people.

Peng Ying, the class's study committee member, said, "Guan Fangfang, I think what you did just now was too impulsive. Hu Youjin came back and didn't say anything, and you hit her."

With Miao Feng's help, Guan Fangfang slowly stood up, snorted, and said, "Who told her to slander me yesterday at noon!"

Peng Ying said, "Don't think you're so right. You've spoken so badly of others, but have you ever considered how they feel?"

Guan Fangfang retorted, "She stole my money!"

Peng Ying said, "Guan Fangfang, we're all in the same class and live in the same dormitory. You can't just say things like that. If you really lost money, you can report it to the dormitory manager, and the dormitory manager will have the school security personnel investigate. You have no evidence, yet you say that Hu Youjin stole your money, and you use such offensive and slanderous words. I don't think that's appropriate."

The dormitory head also said, "I agree with Peng Ying's words."

Another class leader in the dormitory said, "If you still insist that Hu Youjin stole your money, then we'll report it to the dormitory manager together. But if the security guards come to investigate, we'll all tell the truth about what happened yesterday and today."

Miao Feng sneered: "Tell the truth if you want, who's afraid of you? Hu Youjin's family is poor, so they stole Fangfang's money, that's a fact!"

Peng Ying retorted, "Does being poor necessarily mean you'll steal money? What kind of logic is that?"

Miao Feng sneered, giving Peng Ying a quick, unfriendly look, the implication of which was obvious.

Peng Ying also came from a rural area.

Peng Ying was very clever and naturally understood Miao Feng's unspoken meaning.

But she was not one to be trifled with. She sneered at Miao Feng and said, "Miao Feng, don't look at me like that. Do you think that makes you superior? In my opinion, that look only makes you look like a clown, jumping around and making a fool of yourself!"

Peng Ying was very imposing, and Miao Feng was so coldly sarcastic that she didn't know what to say.

Guan Fangfang waved her hand, "Alright, alright! Since you're all pleading for Hu Youjin, I won't pursue the matter of her stealing money. Lights out soon, everyone get ready to sleep."

Hu Youjin, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up: "Peng Ying, thank you for your fairness. Guan Fangfang, I didn't steal your money, and that's easy to prove. Because there are no fingerprints on the money. The police can verify it clearly and without any problems. Do you dare to verify it?"

Guan Fangfang was stunned for a moment.

Hu Youjin slowly stood up, looked at Guan Fangfang, and said, "I know your family has powerful connections and influence. You want to make it impossible for me to stay in school and ruin my future. But, Guan Fangfang, if I can't study and have no worries about the future, do you think you can still succeed in your studies?"
