Zhu Qinghao and Si Tian both sensed the unfriendly gazes from the group of educated youth at the settlement. After exchanging a glance, they ignored them.

Both of them concluded that the best way to deal with this kind of jealousy is to ignore them; the more you pay attention to them, the more they'll get worked up.

And that was indeed the case. Seeing that neither of them even glanced at the other woman, the anger in her eyes clearly intensified.

Especially Wang Lan.

When Wang Xiuyu's incident happened last time, Zhu Qinghao and Si Tian were not present, but Wang Lan still hated them.

Because of the villagers' deliberate comparisons, she felt like she was being attacked wave after wave of attacks from the two of them.

Damn it, if it weren't for those two trying so hard to show off, the people at the educated youth settlement wouldn't be seen as so despicable by the villagers.

If they weren't so despicable in the eyes of the villagers, she might have succeeded in framing Widow Wang last time.

But in the end, not only did she fail, she also ruined her reputation and was punished by having to clean the dirty and smelly pigsty for a long time.

Having suffered so much humiliation, how could she not hate!

Wang Lan glared at Zhu Qinghao through gritted teeth, her eyes blazing with fury, wishing she could devour her alive.

That's right, her goal has always been to help Zhu Qinghao.

In her eyes, Si Tian was a glutton and a lackey. Without Zhu Qinghao, Si Tian would be no threat at all.

Wang Lan thought of the things she had accidentally found and brought home from the pigsty, and then of Zhu Qinghao, a glint of light flashed in her eyes.

Then, as if she had thought of something, a meaningful smile appeared on her face.

Zhu Pandi, who was standing next to her, didn't see anything, but for no reason felt a chill around her. Without making a sound, she moved herself into the sun and basked in the sunlight from all sides.

The temperature in Northeast China at the end of May is not very high, but it is still warm when the sun shines on you, and you may even break out in a light sweat if you are tired from working.

So as soon as she moved away, Zhu Pandi quickly felt her whole body warm up.

As a result, she turned around with great interest to invite someone to join her, only to see the sinister look that had not completely disappeared from Wang Lan's face, and she couldn't help but shiver.

Upon seeing the direction Wang Lan was staring at, Zhu Pandi immediately shut her half-open mouth.

Although she didn't know what Wang Lan was planning, deep down she really wanted to see Zhu Qing suffer.

So she wisely lowered her head, said nothing, and pretended that she hadn't seen anything in the first place.

But what she didn't know was that Wang Lan only had a wicked plan, but had no idea how to carry it out.

Wang Lan was also worried at this time. She had the item, but how could she give it to Zhu Qinghao without him noticing?

This problem had been bothering her for many days, and with the spring planting season almost over, she still had no clue what to do.

It wasn't until news spread that Zhu Qinghao had asked the brigade leader for leave to visit her family that she realized she had to take action.

Otherwise, Zhu Qinghao doesn't know when she will return, and even if she does, it may not be easy to find an opportunity. It would be better to make a move as soon as possible.

Perhaps in her haste to act, she came up with a terrible idea.

That day, Zhu Pandi was idly working in the field when Wang Lan came over, her face even plastered with a smile she rarely saw.

"Comrade Zhu Pandi, you've been here for so long, and we've taken good care of you, haven't we?"

Zhu Pandi was somewhat bewildered and desperately wanted to deny it, but adhering to the principle of 'when you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head,' she still nodded with an awkward smile.

"Yes, yes, yes, haha, everyone has been very considerate of me. Otherwise, how could I have adapted so quickly, haha..."

Seeing that Zhu Pandi agreed, Wang Lan nodded in satisfaction.
