When Zhao Quan took a leave of absence from Peking University, Wu Shengnan, for the first time ever, treated everyone in the dormitory to a meal.

Moreover, she was unusually generous; although the meal was eaten in the cafeteria, it included meat and vegetables and was quite plentiful.

Everyone was shocked by her extravagant spending.

Seeing this, Zhou Hongying couldn't help but advise, "Just buy a few steamed buns, save some money, don't waste it like this."

After hearing this, Wu Shengnan smiled and said, "Sister Hongying, don't worry. I've already gotten my money back and I have money now. Besides, I owe everyone a lot for their help this time, so it's only right that I treat you to a meal."

At this point, she looked at Su He again, "Su He, thank you so much for this. If it weren't for your help, I probably would have continued to be deceived."

Also, I must apologize to you for what I did in the past.

I'm sorry, that's just my personality. I wasn't targeting you personally. Maybe I was just too narrow-minded before.

I always thought I was the best in our county, and it's the same here.

When I arrived, I realized that I was really ordinary. Compared to others, I was even less than their little finger, which is why I was so eager to prove myself.

To be honest, you're so outstanding that it makes me a little jealous, which is why I said those things.

I hope you can forgive my little bit of vanity.

To be honest, I never expected you to help me this time without holding a grudge. I feel extremely ashamed.

I hope you'll be magnanimous and not hold it against me.

Su He laughed when she heard these words; she was quite impressed with Wu Shengnan.

"It's nothing, I didn't take it to heart."

Wu Shengnan seemed relieved upon hearing this. "It's good that you didn't take it to heart, but no matter what, I still want to thank you. So make sure you eat a lot later. Don't worry, I know how much you eat, so I'll make sure there's enough for you."

Everyone laughed when she said that. Seeing her sincere tone, they knew she really wanted to thank them. They also knew that the two hundred yuan had been helped back by the women from Huaqing, so they didn't refuse anymore.

They all enjoyed the meal and were pleased with Wu Shengnan's transformation.

Since then, Wu Shengnan has become much more low-key, and her words and actions are no longer as exaggerated as before.

I've put more of my energy into studying.

This change further convinced everyone that she had truly figured things out.

I was very happy for her.

As a result, the relationship between the roommates improved.

...

Soon, the end of the semester arrived.

After the exams, it was winter break again.

This holiday is relatively short, only one month, so apart from Li Li, none of the other roommates from other places plan to go home.

In that case, there will be three people left in the dormitory.

Su He originally wanted to invite them to her home for the Chinese New Year, but considering that she would also be spending the New Year at the Lin family's house, she instead invited them to her home for a get-together during the first month of the lunar calendar, and they all agreed.

Afterwards, Su He packed her things and went home.

As soon as I got home, I saw Grandma Su watching the commotion in the yard.

"What's wrong?" Su He asked as she went over to see what was wrong.

Grandma Su gestured with her chin towards the Niu family.

"Their daughter who went to the countryside is back. When she came in, the Niu family's wife was overjoyed."

I was worried about what her child would become, given how miserable she always talked about. But when I saw her, the girl was fair-skinned, quite chubby, and didn't look like she was suffering in the countryside at all!

When Su He heard it was Niu Lili, she couldn't be bothered to look anymore.

Grandma Su was clearly the same; they had fallen out with the Niu family after that incident.

Only Grandpa Niu could still nod, while the relationship between Hao Mei and the others had become much more distant, and they no longer participated in their family affairs.
