Perhaps seeing that no one was paying attention to her, Wu Shengnan felt ignored, so she started talking about her own things.

"Actually, I changed my name. My original name was Wu Lianhua, but Lianhua sounded too weak, so I changed it to Wu Shengnan. The county magistrate praised me for changing my name."

The others didn't know what to say, and could only laugh and agree.

Yu Tiezhuang scratched his head and said, "But Lotus is also a nice name. It sounds like a girl's name, unlike mine. People would think it's a boy's name."

Before I went to school, my dad regretted it and wanted to change my name to Yu Cuihua, but I didn't agree. I've been called that for so many years, and I'm used to it.

Moreover, this name was given to me by my grandfather before he passed away, when I was still in my mother's womb.

Because my mother's belly was bigger than that of a normal pregnant woman when she was pregnant with me, my grandfather thought it was a boy, so he named me this.

When I was born, I was a girl, and my father regretted it. He hadn't asked my grandfather to come up with a couple more names; in the end, they could only use this one.

Everyone else smiled upon hearing this, finding the Yu family quite amusing.

Seeing that Yu Tiezhuang had once again stolen everyone else's attention, Wu Shengnan was somewhat unwilling and began to talk about her own great achievements again.

This includes, but is not limited to, how much she loved labor in the past, working even in the rain, always getting full marks for work, and how she would stay up late at night to work in the fields with a lantern so that the villagers could do less work, in order to demonstrate her selfless dedication.

She even went into the water to plant rice seedlings during her period. The icy water made her shiver with pain, but she didn't give up.

At this point, she added with a smug sigh, "Fortunately, that thing stopped coming every month. Sometimes it only came once every few months, and sometimes it didn't come for half a year, which saved me a lot of trouble."

Tell me, why do we women have to have that thing? It's such a hassle, why don't men have to?

After he said that, everyone else in the dorm fell silent.

Finally, Zhou Hongying couldn't help but speak up: "We women should pay more attention to our health and take good care of ourselves, because it's related to fertility. Otherwise, we'll be the ones who suffer."

Wu Shengnan clearly didn't take these words to heart. Seemingly dissatisfied with everyone's reaction, she retorted, "You're overthinking it. Every woman can have a child, and it's still a long way off for me."

"It's because I'm even better than men that I've been praised time and time again by the village, the commune, and even the county. My family's walls are covered with certificates of merit; otherwise, I wouldn't have been recommended to go to university!"

Hearing her say that, everyone knew that it was impossible to reason with her.

Seeing that she was still waiting for everyone's slow reaction after she finished speaking, Su He's lips twitched, but she still said, "You're really amazing! Compared to you, we're all so ordinary!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the others began to echo her. Clearly, they weren't stupid; after hearing what she had said, they all understood what she wanted.

Wu Shengnan was finally satisfied upon seeing this.

At this moment, Su He took the opportunity to mention the matter of buying a stove, and everyone agreed as soon as they heard it, including Wu Shengnan and Yu Tiezhu, whose families were clearly not well-off.

Wu Shengnan, perhaps wanting to follow the crowd, didn't refuse despite her unpleasant expression.

Yu Tiezhu simply remarked, "Why doesn't this school have a kang (heated brick bed)? It would be so much more convenient and warmer."

Su He laughed and said, "Even if we have a kang (heated brick bed), it's useless. It's inconvenient in our apartment building."

Yu Tiezhuang sighed regretfully, "That's true."
