Seeing Zhao Yanyan's disgusted expression, Grandma Xu felt a little uncomfortable.

The city girl is so spoiled; she can't possibly appreciate the earthen bed and porcelain jars of the countryside.

Although she hadn't formally spoken with Zhao Yanyan yet, she already knew exactly what was going on.

Gu Zhiyun would never like this spoiled young lady.

How can someone with such an unlikable appearance compare to Jingya?

Although Jingya is a delicate and tender girl who would make anyone feel pity and protectiveness towards her, she is not spoiled at all. She can do any heavy or tiring work without complaining.

Grandma Xu's heart sank a little. Since the other party disliked her, there was no need for her to try to get close to them.

It was Zhao Yanyan who spoke first: "Grandma, do you have any other place to stay here?"

Grandma Xu put the water vat back, her tone no longer as enthusiastic as before:

“Girl, you look like a rich city girl. Our conditions here are simple, and you probably won’t be used to it. Why don’t you go to the town’s guesthouse?”

"That won't do. The town is so far away; it's so inconvenient for me to come to the forest farm!"

Her purpose in coming here was to stick to Gu Zhiyun until he agreed to let his father use his connections to return to the city ahead of schedule.

After returning to the city, Gu Zhiyun was right under her nose, giving her more time to cultivate her relationship with him.

Otherwise, I feel uneasy because I can't see him all the time!

“If you don’t want to stay at the town’s guesthouse, then you can squeeze in with the female educated youth. There are still a few empty beds in the girls’ dormitory.”

Upon hearing that it was a shared room, Zhao Yanyan's eyebrows furrowed into a knot: "Grandma, I've never lived with anyone before, I'm not used to it, please find me a single room!"

Grandma Xu smiled helplessly: "Girl, this is the countryside, not your city, and it's not a guesthouse. Do you think you can just decide what kind of accommodation you want?"

Zhao Yanyan was speechless at the counter-question. After hesitating for a long time, she finally managed to say:

"Well... okay then, I'll stay in the girls' dormitory."

Grandma Xu was kind-hearted after all; she opened the cupboard and found a brand-new set of bedding.

This set of bedding has never been used before; even when her grandson came, he slept under an old quilt.

But when Zhao Yanyan saw the red and green flowers and birds on the quilt, she began to complain that the pattern was too tacky.

Grandma Xu rolled her eyes inwardly: "These are the conditions. If you can make do, then make do. If you can't, then go to the town's guesthouse!"

Zhao Yanyan felt quite wronged, but she just pouted and didn't say anything more.

Grandma Xu, carrying a quilt and a pillow, led Zhao Yanyan toward the girls' dormitory, passing by Shen Jingyan's dormitory.

Zhao Yanyan glanced into the room through the window. It was spotless inside, with a blue and white checkered sheet on the kang (a heated brick bed). At the other end of the kang was a mahogany dressing table with several bottles and jars on it. It was clearly the home of a refined girl.

Zhao Yanyan's eyes lit up: "Grandma, I want to live here!"

Grandma Xu shook her head and said, "No, someone is already living here!"

Zhao Yanyan curled her lip in disdain: "Then you can let the people inside make do in the girls' dormitory and give me this room!"

Grandma Xu was truly taken aback by Zhao Yanyan's matter-of-fact tone.

She wasn't unfamiliar with city girls; the other female educated youths in the forest farm were also from the city, and none of them made such unreasonable demands as she did.

Does she really think she's some kind of princess who can command the wind and rain?

"Girl, they're living here just fine. Why should they have to move out and make do just because you've come?"

Zhao Yanyan, with an air of being spoiled and ignorant, said: "Why not? You country folk are tough and thick-skinned, it doesn't matter where you live, right?"

This unreasonable remark angered Grandma Xu.

"Girl, what do you mean by that? Just because you're from the city, does that mean you're more delicate than other girls? You can't be so selfish!"

The old lady, who had been all smiles just moments before, had changed her expression. Zhao Yanyan, after being scolded, still didn't understand what was wrong with her request and even started sobbing in grievance.

Grandma Xu was furious at her delicate appearance. She shoved the blanket and pillow into her hands, pointed to the door not far away, and said, "That's the girls' dormitory. It's unlocked. Go in and tidy up yourself. I have something to do, so I'm leaving now!"

"you……"

Zhao Yanyan stared blankly, unable to utter a word, watching helplessly as Grandma Xu walked away.

Clutching her bedding, she looked at the dilapidated door and then at Shen Jingyan's clean and tidy dormitory. Gritting her teeth, she grabbed her bedding and pillow and went into Shen Jingyan's room.

In the countryside, people usually don't lock their doors when they go out. Sometimes, when the owner is not home, neighbors or relatives will come and sit on the kang (a heated brick bed) to wait for a while.

However, when Shen Jingyan returned to the room and saw Zhao Yanyan sitting on her kang (a heated brick bed), she was greatly surprised.

Zhao Yanyan even brought the bedding over?!

Shen Jingyan thought to herself, Zhao Yanyan definitely doesn't know who she is. If she did, wouldn't she tear her apart on the spot?

"Is this your dorm room? I'd like to stay here for a few days, is that alright?"

When Zhao Yanyan saw Shen Jingyan walk in, she showed no awareness of being a guest, didn't even stand up, and spoke in a condescending tone.

It was as if she were a noble princess visiting the common people and staying in the home of an ordinary person like Shen Jingyan was a great honor for her.

That was what she originally thought too; it was the dormitory owner's good fortune that she had taken a liking to this dormitory!

Shen Jingyan didn't give her any face: "Sorry, I'm not used to sleeping with other people."

Zhao Yanyan scoffed: "Then why don't you move to the girls' dormitory!"

Shen Jingyan sneered, "This is my dormitory. Why should I move out?"

This was the first time Zhao Yanyan had been so blunt with someone. She looked up angrily and said, "I'm from the city. Do you know who my parents are? You can move out if you want. I'm being generous by staying with you!"

Shen Jingyan wouldn't tolerate her bad habits, and retorted:

"I can't accept your arrogance. Are you leaving or not? If not, I'll send you away!"

If Zhao Yanyan had been more polite to her, she might have reluctantly agreed to let this young lady stay with her for a few nights.

Anyway, Gu Zhiyun is her rightful boyfriend, and no matter how much Zhao Yanyan acts up, she can't take him away. In the end, it won't be her who loses face.

Zhao Yanyan had never encountered anyone who dared to openly challenge her. She was so angry her features almost contorted. She jumped up from the kang (heated brick bed) and pointed at Shen Jingyan's nose, yelling:

"Who do you think you are, daring to talk to me like that!"

Shen Jingyan grabbed her bedding, pulled her by the collar, and dragged her and the bedding out the door.

"I'm the owner of this dormitory. If I say you can't live here, you can't live here!"
