Chapter 395 So sour it's unbearable
Cen Yan stood in the center of the crowd.
With just a simple call to action, he could attract countless followers; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he could command a hundred responses.
The people around her clapped and cheered, as if Cen Yan had done something incredibly good.
Who knew that Cen Yan was a thoroughly wicked woman! She stole the credit that rightfully belonged to her!
Shan Xianxian's face was as pale as paper. She wanted to jump out and tell everyone how hypocritical Cen Yan was.
The money for planting the streetlights was clearly extorted from her, so why should the honor belong to Cen Yan?
But she couldn't do that. She had to lie in wait in the shadows, waiting for the opportunity to strike Cen Yan dead!
That bitch won't be smug for long.
Seeing Cen Yan's smug expression and the crowd surrounding her, Shan Xianxian felt a thorn in her side, a burning itch. If she continued to watch, she feared she wouldn't be able to hold back. So, she could only curse her in secret as vicious and shameless before leaving.
Cen Yan didn't understand why Shan Xianxian was so capable. She had come to the family compound, so why couldn't she just live a peaceful life? Why did she have to go against her?
Having lived in the Cen family for a while, she's gotten herself into a bad way, daring to covet the family fortune left by her ancestors? Ha! If Shan Xianxian doesn't stop causing trouble, she's not one to tolerate it.
That's right, Cen Yan already knew that Shan Xianxian had come to Dongming Island, and she had openly moved into the family compound.
She didn't know at first, but thanks to her good comrades, namely Aunt Tang and a few others, she loved to chat in the courtyard.
As for Tian Ying, that day, she tried to steal a chicken but ended up losing more than she gained. However, she still got to eat pork cracklings the next day. Moreover, she took the pork fat to the public kitchen and rendered pork fat in front of everyone, just like a petty person who had gotten away with something.
At first, everyone thought she had gone to steal again and questioned Tian Ying loudly, which made Tian Ying so angry that she almost got into a fight with the women in the kitchen!
However, Shan Xianxian later came over to explain that she was the one who bought the pork fat, and that people could check if they didn't believe her. From then on, Shan Xianxian became Tian Ying's goddaughter, and this matter became deeply ingrained in people's minds, making her one of the people who shouldn't be too close to her.
Aunt Tang even came to remind Cen Yan to keep her eyes open and not be deceived by Shan Xianxian. She told her to stay as far away from this family as possible. Only after that did Cen Yan realize that Shan Xianxian had come to Dongming Island and was living not far from her.
She thought that if the enemy didn't move, she wouldn't move either. As long as Shan Xianxian didn't cause trouble, it wouldn't be a problem to treat her like a stranger. But unexpectedly, Shan Xianxian was glaring at her from the shadows. Judging from the shape of her lips, she must have cursed her a hundred or eighty times.
It was only after seeing Shan Xianxian that she realized where the five hundred yuan she had asked Yu Qingguo for came from.
"I didn't expect that after taking the antiques from the suitcase, Shan Xianxian would still have so much cash on her? No, that's all Cen family's money, we have to find a way to get it back."
"Cen Yan, what are you muttering to yourself?" Wang Lijuan asked.
"It's nothing, just doing mental math. Think about how much food we need to prepare for the comrades in the barracks for two days of work."
"You don't need to provide the food. The women in the compound have unanimously decided that each household will contribute one jin of rice, which is enough for all the young men in the barracks."
Cen Yan nodded, "Then it's settled. On behalf of the children going to and from school, thank you all."
"What are you thanking me for? Those are all kids from our family compound. On the contrary, when are you and Jingchuan planning to have one?" Wang Lijuan winked and made a subtle way of urging them to have a baby.
Cen Yan dodged the question, saying that having a child isn't something you can just decide to do, and even if she's highly fertile, it still depends on fate.
