Xu Qingqing couldn't help but clap her hands.
Look, this is the self-awareness of a married man.
"Bo Jingran, you deserve a big thumbs up." Xu Qingqing gave a thumbs up.
Bo Jingran was smug. He was a married man, and he wouldn't even glance at someone like Lin Meijiao, finding her an eyesore.
Xu Qingqing and Lin Meijiao started showing affection in front of Lin Meijiao, completely ignoring her.
Lin Meijiao couldn't take it anymore and gritted her teeth, saying, "System, do you have a way to get rid of Xu Qingqing and Bo Jingran once and for all?"
She couldn't take it anymore and didn't want to endure it any longer.
"I'm sorry, host, this system is merely a task system. Only when you complete the task can you strip Xu Qingqing of her luck and return her to her predetermined fate."
The system's words did nothing to make Lin Meijiao feel better. She wanted to, but Xu Qingqing always managed to thwart her plans. How could she possibly complete the mission?
"Could you please choose a different task?"
After thinking for a moment, the system agreed to Lin Meijiao's request.
"Ding, please go to the county town in two days to help Grandma Lin find her grandson."
Lin Meijiao breathed a sigh of relief. This task was much simpler than the previous one; it was just about finding someone.
Xu Qingqing's eyes flashed. She knew who this old lady Lin was; she was Secretary Lin's mother, and this lost grandson was Secretary Lin's only son.
The reason for the child's disappearance is not simple. In the book, the child's leg was broken by human traffickers before Lin Meijiao found him. After that, he was emotionally unstable and, when he grew up, he was the kind of person who would sacrifice everything for Lin Meijiao's daughter.
Oh dear, actually, that kid's leg was broken by that group of people because of Lin Meijiao. It's pitiful that he remembered Lin Meijiao's kindness even in death. His whole family became their help in the early stages, and in the end, some of them died and others were crippled.
Xu Qingqing knew exactly what the system was up to; she was determined to take that child.
Xu Qingqing looked at Lin Meijiao with a sly grin and let out the signature laugh of a villain.
"Hahaha—!"
Bo Jingran looked completely bewildered, wondering what Xu Qingqing was laughing at, and why she was laughing so...cheeky.
Oh no, I almost laughed myself silly.
Xu Qingqing laughed until her eyes hurt, and quickly wiped away her tears: "Never mind that, I'll take you to a fun place the day after tomorrow."
Bo Jingran asked in confusion, "Where?"
"Well, I can't really explain it. You'll find out when the time comes."
Xu Qingqing then looked at Lin Meijiao: "Then I won't bother you feeding the mosquitoes. My blood is so cold that the mosquitoes don't dare to come near. Your blood is warm, and mosquitoes love yours the most."
Wow, you know how to make fun of yourself.
Bo Jingran disagreed: "You're wrong to say that. How can we compare to Lin Zhiqing? You're underestimating Lin Zhiqing's physical condition."
Xu Qingqing nodded. It seemed that this kid's verbal skills had improved a bit.
The two of them were exchanging barbs, and Lin Meijiao wanted nothing more than to tear them apart: "You've gone too far!"
After saying that, she ran back to the educated youth dormitory in a fit of anger, crying as she did so.
Gao Boyu was annoyed by Pan Ling's constant pestering when he saw Lin Meijiao returning crying. He pushed Pan Ling away and rushed to comfort his sweetheart.
Pan Ling's face was extremely pale as she watched Gao Boyu chase after Lin Meijiao.
Xu Wanyi chuckled, fanning himself with a banana leaf fan: "Oh, look at that face, it's so black, it's almost like a lump of coal."
"Xu Wanyi!" Pan Ling was furious.
"What are you yelling about? Don't you even know if you're good enough for Gao Boyu? Stop daydreaming!" Xu Wanyi yelled at her, covering her ears.
If you're so capable, shout at Gao Boyu and act crazy with her here.
Pan Ling calmed down and retorted, "Aren't you the same? Who's better than whom?"
Xu Wanyi was unable to refute it for a moment. Yes, she liked Gao Boyu. Before Lin Meijiao came, she was confident that she could pursue him. But now, how could she steal a man whose eyes were full of other women?
Her personality wouldn't allow her to do that, and besides, there are countless men in the world, and Gao Boyu isn't the only one.
Thinking about it this way, Xu Wanyi relaxed a lot and retorted, "I'm not like you. Losing Gao Boyu won't be a big loss for me. At worst, I'll ask my dad to introduce me to a man who's even better than him."
Pan Ling was speechless after being rebuked by Xu Wanyi. Yes, with her family background, she could find any kind of man she wanted, unlike herself who could only climb up to Gao Boyu.
Why, why did Lin Meijiao appear after Xu Qingqing?
At this moment, she pretended to be insane, staring intently at the two men, muttering to herself incessantly.
She wanted to eliminate everyone who stood in her way, everyone who prevented her from climbing the ladder.

When Xu Qingqing got home, she asked Bo Jingran to squat at the bottom of the pot and teach her how to cook it. She followed his instructions step by step and painstakingly made bamboo shoot and bamboo rat stew. The taste was not very good, but it was still passable, since it was meat.
Xu Qingqing ate the meat with relish, finishing the entire bowl. She then patted her bulging belly and sprawled out on the bamboo chair like Ge You.
I never imagined she would stoop so low as to eat bamboo rats. I used to never even look at them, but now I treat them like treasures and don't let a single one go.
Life is miserable! Miserable! Miserable!
After lying down for a while, I got up to make some small tools, ready to face the challenge the day after tomorrow.
I'm getting a little excited just thinking about it.
Licking her lips, Xu Qingqing let out a horrifying laugh as she whittled bamboo.
Bo Jingran shrank his neck. How could he see Xu Qingqing's body emitting black gas? He couldn't believe his eyes. He rubbed his eyes and realized that he must have been seeing things.
Not daring to disturb his wife, Bo Jingran quietly entered the house.
Xu Qingqing worked with lightning speed, piling up dozens of bamboo skewers of the same size, boiling them in boiling water, then taking them out to dry.
Two days is enough time for Xu Qingqing to prepare.
Bo Jingran's heart pounded wildly as he looked at the things Xu Qingqing had prepared over the past two days. He silently mourned for the unfortunate soul.
Good heavens, what are they trying to do by sharpening all these bamboo stalks to such a point? And this bamboo stalk, as thick as a thumb, has one end also sharpened to a point.
This is about to be something big!
Soon it was time for the two of them to set off.
Xu Qingqing carried a large bundle to the county town. The two of them squeezed onto the oxcart and looked at each other intently, both seeing the pain in each other's eyes.
Xu Qingqing was worried that Bo Jingran's body couldn't withstand such a long journey, so she took an oxcart early in the morning. Fortunately, they arrived relatively early and managed to squeeze in a seat.
Lin Meijiao arrived late, and there were no seats left on the oxcart, so she couldn't compete with the older women.
She walked up to Xu Qingqing and said in a coquettish tone, "Qingqing, I'm not feeling well, so please give me your seat."
After saying that, he tried to touch Xu Qingqing's arm.
Xu Qingqing shivered and refused Lin Meijiao's touch with both hands: "No way, do you not have a brain? I'm younger than you, how dare you come over and ask me to give up my seat? Just because you have a big face!"
