Li Yan told Li Yu about her search for Chen Jiayi, adding a few embellishments.
Finally, she slowly spoke:
"You have no idea how arrogant Chen Jiayi was. We're friends, so it's only right that she introduces me to a job. I'll help her in the future if she helps me now. But she just rejected me outright!"
Li Yu thought about it carefully and remembered that Chen Jiayi and Li Yan's relationship wasn't that good, was it?
Her lips twitched. "Yanzi, did you run into some problems in the educated youth dormitory?"
Li Yan immediately shut her mouth, feeling that her sister didn't understand her either.
She remembered calling the Chen family that day, and a young woman's voice answered the phone.
Looking back now, it must have been Chen Jiayi who answered the call.
Li Yan remained silent the entire way, and Li Yu, feeling a bit carsick, didn't speak to her either.
After arriving in Lianhua Town, Li Yu still had to return to Chenjia Village.
She patted Li Yan on the shoulder and comforted her earnestly.
"Yanzi, if the Chen family can't arrange a job for us, then forget it. Mom said she'll ask around for us, so don't worry."
Li Yan hummed in agreement, her eyes darting around impatiently.
When she saw a familiar figure again, Li Yan couldn't help but frown.
"Sis, you go first!"
Li Yan waved her hand and ran forward.
Seeing Li Yan leave directly, Li Yu sighed.
She still had chores to do at home, and going out basically took up a whole day.
With that thought in mind, Li Yu quickly headed home.
After confirming that her sister was out of the way and couldn't see what she was doing, Li Yan walked up to Ding Haowen.
"Ding Haowen".
Ding Haowen had just finished administering an IV to his child when a short-haired girl called out to him. He looked up in confusion.
He quickly searched his memory and remembered that she was the sister-in-law of Chen Jiayi's neighbor's son.
The thought that he was one of Chen Jiayi's people made Ding Haowen's tone cold.
"Is there something you need?"
Li Yan had only acted on impulse, wanting to ask Ding Haowen the reason for his divorce from Chen Jiayi.
Seeing Ding Haowen's handsome face, she, who rarely interacted with men, couldn't help but feel a flutter in her heart for a moment.
Her gaze shifted uncomfortably to the child Ding Haowen was holding.
"Ding Haowen, what's wrong with your child?"
Hearing her concern for the child, Ding Haowen, despite not wanting to engage with her, still gave a curt reply.
"I'm sick and need to have IV fluids every day."
Pneumonia is the most difficult disease to treat in newborns!
Adults have a low chance of recovering from pneumonia on their own, let alone children with low immunity who cannot be given excessive medication.
Li Yan said "Oh," and added, "I went to see Chen Jiayi today and found that she has changed a lot..."
Seeing Li Yan's hesitant expression, Ding Haowen immediately became interested.
"What's the meaning?"
Li Yan quickly recounted how she had asked Chen Jiayi to arrange work for her, but she embellished her actions.
Upon hearing Li Yan's description, Ding Haowen snorted coldly.
"It's normal for her to act this way. When she found out she was the daughter of the Chen family, she immediately took the keepsake and ran back to the Chen family. Then she wanted a divorce, but I refused, so she..."
Like Li Yan, Ding Haowen hesitated to speak, leaving the rest to be figured out.
The two chatted and teased each other about Chen Jiayi as if they were kindred spirits.
On her way back, Li Yan couldn't help but think about the time she spent with Ding Haowen.
She thought that Ding Haowen's conditions were actually considered good in the village.
He has a house, a decent job, and is handsome.
Men who meet these criteria are extremely rare these days.
Although she knew that Ding Haowen's words could not be entirely trusted, Li Yan thought of Chen Jiayi's face when she rejected her without hesitation, and felt that it was not much different from what Ding Haowen said.
Li Yan returned to the educated youth dormitory and saw that only Song Zhiya was in the room. She asked in surprise.
Are you off today?
Song Zhiya glanced at Li Yan and said, "None of your business."
Li Yan was just asking out of curiosity, but she didn't expect Song Zhiya to retort so bluntly.
Feeling upset, she sat down on her bed in silence.
Li Yan kept hearing a dripping sound. She got up and looked, and found that someone's clothes were not clean. They were all wet and leaning against the dry clothes.
Li Yan's brow twitched violently as she read this.
The clothes that were originally dry are now stuck to the wet clothes, and the dry clothes have also become wet.
There hasn't been any sunshine for the past two days, and clothes easily get stuffy and smelly in this kind of weather.
She couldn't help but ask, "Song Zhiya, do you know whose clothes these are?"
Song Zhiya crossed her arms. "What's wrong? Is there a problem?"
Li Yan had never liked these rich young ladies in the city, and seeing how arrogant the other party was, her anger suddenly exploded.
"Song Zhiya, can't you dry your clothes? Look, your wet clothes have made my dry clothes stick wet."
Song Zhiya was already in a bad mood because of her trip to the countryside, and had been feeling depressed ever since.
This damn poor person is talking about her?
She couldn't stand it and immediately started to argue back.
"Who told you not to bring your own clothes in? Is it my fault?"
"I wasn't even here today, how was I supposed to know you were doing laundry? We're roommates, what's wrong with you helping me pack up?"
"Who said you're my roommate? I don't consider you poor rural people as my roommates."
"..."
The argument between the two became increasingly heated, attracting other educated youths who were resting in other dormitories to come and watch the show.
