Zhu Pandi was startled to see Shi Qiang being beaten, but when she realized that this good-for-nothing didn't dare to fight back, she was so angry that she almost fainted.

So when Shi Qiang sat back down next to her, she deliberately moved further away to show that she didn't want to be next to him.

By this time, Shi Qiang had recovered and was puzzled as he watched his little heart keep moving outwards.

"Nana, what's wrong? Are you still feeling unwell? Are you cold? If you are, let's sit closer together. We'll feel better once we get there. Or should I ask the driver to go faster?"

After saying that, he actually shouted at Wang Weiguo in front of him:

"Driver, could you please drive a little faster? It's too cold, Nana can't stand it."

However, all he received in response was the howling wind; everyone on the bus tacitly stopped paying attention to him.

Zhu Qinghao and Si Tian were actually a bit cold towards each other, but they knew there was nothing they could do about it, so they just stood closer together without saying a word.

After driving for more than thirty minutes, the tractor finally entered the village. The people on the tractor knew they were almost there and began to get excited.

The tractor didn't stop immediately after entering the village; instead, it pulled them to a courtyard.

"Zhao, the educated youth! Xiao Huang, the educated youth! They're here, come out and make arrangements!"

Wang Fulin shouted as he got out of the car first, then beckoned the others to get out as well.

It was probably too cold in the car, so all four of them got off the car quickly and neatly, and then jumped around on the ground a couple of times.

At this moment, a male and a female educated youth came out of the house, but when the female educated youth saw that there were three girls, her face fell.

"Captain, this won't work. You know this house can only fit one person. Any more than that, and it won't fit anyone else."

The brigade leader remained silent. He was indeed aware of the situation. The educated youth settlement was not large to begin with, and it already housed fifteen educated youths, eight men and seven women. Now, with four more arriving, he didn't know where to settle them.

"Little Huang, there's nothing I can do about it. I received the notice suddenly and didn't have time to make arrangements. Please understand. Let's all squeeze in. We should be able to make room for two people, right?"

Without even thinking, that educated youth shook his head:

"Captain, it's not that we're not understanding, but there are only five rooms in the courtyard, and they're not very big. The male educated youth occupy three rooms, so each room only has three people living in it, which isn't very spacious."

"Look at us again. We only have two rooms, and four people are crammed into each one. If we get any more crowded, it will be difficult to even turn over."

There is some exaggeration in this statement, because the female educated youth's rooms were slightly larger, but everyone wanted to live comfortably. Who would be willing to make sacrifices for people they didn't even know?

Zhu Qinghao originally didn't want to live with them. She thought she would have to find an excuse to move later, but she didn't expect them to give her such a big surprise.

However, she didn't show it on her face, and just stood there quietly waiting for the captain to give her instructions.

Seeing that the brigade leader and Huang Zhiqing were locked in a stalemate, Zhu Pandi reacted quickly and walked over in a few steps, showing no trace of her previous weakness.

"Huang Zhiqing, the two of them are together, but I'm all alone. There's just enough room for me. May I go in first?"

Huang Ying didn't answer, but she didn't stop her either, so Zhu Pandi picked up her things and started walking inside.

Before entering the house, she turned around and looked at Zhu Qinghao and the other woman, her eyes full of schadenfreude.
