So for a while, she would go around to each woodshed as soon as everyone left for work, taking only a little from each one, and she wasn't discovered.

It was a bit of a shame that He Chaoyang chopped the firewood too neatly, completely different from the way Zhao Qianjin chopped it for her. You could tell the difference at a glance, so she could only watch enviously as Chen Shuning chopped the firewood but didn't know where to start.

Even though she didn't take Chen Shuning's firewood, she still had some firewood stored in the woodshed behind her house. During the autumn harvest, everyone was busy and no one paid attention. Besides, no one would keep an eye on someone else's woodshed like she did.

She wasn't afraid when everyone found out. She could just say that Zhao Qianjin had helped her collect the firewood before, and that she hadn't been willing to burn it. After all, there really was some firewood that Zhao Qianjin had helped her collect at the beginning.

Anyway, she's been getting up in the middle of the night to light the fire these past few days, and no one has noticed. Otherwise, the temperature in Heilongjiang Province at night would already be below zero, and she wouldn't be able to stay in a house without a fire.

Actually, Yang Wanqiu didn't intend to never go out to collect firewood; it's just that she really didn't want to leave the house in this kind of weather at first.

She was thinking that when the weather got better, she would go with everyone to collect firewood. As for Xianxian, she originally planned to sneak some coal from Chen Shuning's place while everyone was away.

Anyway, when she was hiding in the house, she overheard what those people were saying and figured there must be a lot of coal over there. She thought she could secretly take some before Chen Shuning even realized it.

Unexpectedly, that bitch Chen Shuning even locked the woodshed.

As Yang Wanqiu walked towards the back mountain, her mind wandered. She wondered why Chen Shuning's life was getting better and better, while she herself was experiencing setbacks.

And then there's Zhao Qianjin. Just thinking about that man makes Yang Wanqiu's teeth itch with hatred. That bastard had just said how much he loved her, that he'd do anything for her, even go through fire and water.

But after being threatened by that bastard Shen Wenge, he no longer dares to take care of me as promised, and he doesn't even dare to say a word to me.

And Shen Wenge, that bastard, is no good either. Not only did he take advantage of her, but he also went around telling everyone that he had touched her and that she was his future wife.

As a result, she only dares to wander around the educated youth settlement when everyone is at work lately, and doesn't even dare to go to the village. Otherwise, with everyone busy with the autumn harvest, there wouldn't be so little firewood in the woodshed behind her house, and she wouldn't only dare to secretly get up at night to burn a little.

The more Yang Wanqiu thought about it, the angrier she became. In her mind, she cursed Shen Wenge's ancestors for eighteen generations.

If Shen Wenge is a good person, she might as well go with the flow and date him. Even if there's no future in it, at least she can get some free labor, just like Zhao Qianjin did before.

Without special means, it would have taken these educated youths nearly ten years to return to the city.

The thought of having to stay in this rural area for another ten years made Yang Wanqiu feel like she was going crazy.

During her recovery period, she thought a lot. If she couldn't handle both He Chaoyang and Gao Hongyuan, she would find a good man in the village to marry.

That way, at least she wouldn't have to worry about food and clothing. After a few years, once the national college entrance examination is reinstated, with the experience from her previous life, getting into a good university shouldn't be too difficult for her. After all, she still remembers quite a few of those exam questions from her previous life.

Because of her experience in her previous life, she believes that even if she gets married and has children in this life, she will not follow the same path as in her previous life, being trapped in the countryside for most of her life by a country man.

Anyway, she'll leave as soon as she gets her university acceptance letter. Where will these country bumpkins who've never even left Heilongjiang Province find her?

She had already made up her mind. Since she had no relatives left, and she couldn't rely on her biological father at all, she didn't plan to go back to Beijing.

She'll apply to a university in Haishi, change her appearance, and once she's in college, no one will be able to find her.

Yang Wanqiu, who was able to think about these things, had long lost her former confidence, and felt that no matter what kind of man she was, he would be easy to get.

After being repeatedly hurt by He Chaoyang and Gao Hongyuan, Yang Wanqiu felt that she might have been tormented too much in her previous life, so much so that she had lost her attraction to men after being reborn.

Especially for someone like Zhao Qianjin, who herself couldn't make him devoted to her and give everything for her, it's even less likely that more outstanding men would easily become her devoted followers.

Moreover, if you find a sent-down youth, whether it's Gao Hongyuan or Zhao Qianjin, you'll still have to work and endure ten years of hardship before you can return to the city when the college entrance examination is reinstated. Didn't Chen Shuning in her previous life also endure ten years in the countryside before she and Gao Hongyuan both passed the exam and returned to Beijing?

But finding a good family in the village is different. If you can find an honest and capable man, everyone in the village is easy to please. You just need to find a way to keep the man in line, just like that old educated youth named Qiu Wen who went back to the educated youth compound a few days ago to chat with Wang Meixiang.

She married an honest and capable country man, and because she was from the city and wasn't even half as pretty as him, she was still valued by her in-laws and pampered by her husband.

Whether or not someone goes to work these days is entirely up to them. If they feel like it, they'll work a day; if they don't, they'll make an excuse about not feeling well and take a day off. Anyway, their husbands support them, so they don't need to worry about what they eat.

After hearing Qiu Wen's experience, Yang Wanqiu made a special trip to inquire about Shen Wenge's situation. If the situation wasn't too bad, she would pretend to be friends with Shen Wenge for a few years.
