Rebirth Era: I Lead the Whole Village to Prosperity

Chapter 486

Her tone was full of pampering and anxiety, and it was obvious that she would grant her daughter's every request.

This scene made the atmosphere in the dormitory become subtle.

Liang Xiu, Lin Yue and Chen Tong looked at each other.

Chen Tong frowned slightly, and the corner of his mouth turned to one side inadvertently, and he sneered softly, obviously disdainful of the behavior of the girl in the plaid skirt.

There was a subtle contempt in her eyes, as if she was expressing her dissatisfaction in silent language.

Seeing this, the middle-aged woman wanted to take the opportunity to communicate with Chen Tong and try to ease the tense atmosphere.

But when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back, feeling helpless.

At this moment, a crisp voice came from outside the door, interrupting the stalemate in the room: "Comrade, please make way, I need to put down something."

It was Xie Ci. He was standing outside the door with the luggage prepared for Liang Xiu, looking a little anxious.

The girl in the plaid skirt, Zhao Wan, seemed not to have heard it, and still had a look of disgust on her face.

She responded disdainfully: "Why are you giving way? This is a girls' dormitory. Why are you a man coming in? Don't you know the rules?"

Seeing this, Liangxiu stepped forward and explained gently but firmly: "Classmate, you misunderstood. He is my lover and he came here specially to send me to school."

Her voice was soft but powerful, trying to dispel Zhao Wan's misunderstanding.

However, Zhao Wan did not curb her arrogance and prejudice. She curled her lips and said with disdain: "My love? You got married so early? You are wasting the country's educational resources by going to school after getting married!"

Her words were full of prejudice and misunderstanding about marriage and studies.

When the middle-aged woman saw this, her heart tightened, fearing that Zhao Wan's words and actions would bring her unnecessary trouble.

She quickly stepped forward and grabbed Zhao Wan, her tone becoming more stern and serious: "Zhao Wan, you've gone too far! What did I tell you at home? This is school, not home, and no one can tolerate your temper. You have to learn to respect others, especially your classmates and teachers."

After hearing what the middle-aged woman said, Zhao Wan's face suddenly turned ugly.

She glared at the middle-aged woman fiercely, with a bit of anger and unwillingness in her tone: "Humph! You are just a stepmother. My father doesn't dare to control me like this, so why do you control me?"

Her words were full of doubts and rejection of the identity of a middle-aged woman, as if she wanted to vent all her dissatisfaction on her.

Xie Ci's eyes flashed with impatience, and he retorted directly and sharply: "Classmate, is there really an insurmountable gap between going to college and getting married? The country encourages lifelong learning and advocates that everyone pursue knowledge and progress, but you judge others with such a narrow mindset, which is really shocking. As a college student, your thinking is not only not advancing with the times, but even more outdated than those 'antiques' you mentioned."

When Zhao Wan heard this, her face instantly turned from blue to purple, with anger and shame intertwined.

She shouted angrily, "You! You are a bumpkin from the countryside, what do you know? You can't even read a few words, and you dare to give orders here!"

After Xie Ci heard this, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, which was a kind of calmness and confidence that came from having experienced many hardships.

He had traveled extensively for many years and had seen all kinds of people and things. He was not moved at all by such verbal attacks from Zhao Wan.
