After the frail beauty went to the countryside, she went crazy with scientific research.

Chapter 39, Episode 0039: Don't be stingy with anything, no matter how trivial.

Zhang Ze's situation was similar to Leng Xingran's. His older brother went to work in a machinery factory and his older brother joined the army. Just in case, the Zhang family sent him and Leng Xingran to the countryside together so that they could take care of each other.

Although Xu Zhichuan was different—he was the eldest son in his family and already had a job, while his younger siblings were not yet of age to go to the countryside, so going to the countryside had nothing to do with him—although he seemed to be harmed by his unreliable mother, his going to the countryside was also a risk-avoidance measure tacitly approved by the Xu family.

This is why the three of them didn't come with other educated youth, but only when everyone else was already hibernating in the dead of winter, because they were all sent to the countryside in a hurry due to an emergency.

Lin Yuexi and Liu Huai both found it unbelievable that these three could be so easily outmaneuvered.

Let's not talk about Leng Xingran and Zhang Ze. It's not a good thing to talk about them, but the truth is that they are not the family's key talents. They belong to the group that just needs to not cause trouble or drag the family down.

To put it bluntly, they could be openly abandoned by the Leng and Zhang families if necessary.

Xu Zhichuan is different. In addition to being Xu's father's eldest son, he is also the eldest grandson of the Xu family. He is not only being groomed by Xu's father as his successor, but also has high hopes for him.

That's it?

Don't underestimate Liu Bingyan's existence, and don't underestimate Sun Zhifa's act of accepting gifts on behalf of others.

If not handled properly, these two could drag Xu Zhichuan into an abyss from which he can never escape.

In this sensitive period, promiscuous relationships between men and women can be a serious offense, even punishable by death.

As for the degree of severity, the local officials have more power than the county officials, so there is a lot of room for maneuver.

Lin Yuexi turned her gaze to the only person present whom she felt could resonate with in terms of thinking. Why did she feel that all of this was specifically aimed at Xu Zhichuan?

Liu Huai seemed to understand the complexity in Lin Yuexi's eyes, and winked at her. Coincidentally, he had the same guess.

The two of them looked at Xu Zhichuan, who seemed rather dim-witted no matter how they looked at him.

Fortunately, Xu Zhichuan did not disappoint his grandfather and father's expectations. He finally came to his senses, and his expression became more and more serious. After a while, he stood up as if he had suddenly woken up, and looked at Lin Yuexi with a hint of helplessness in his eyes, "Little sister, this is coming for me."

He used affirmative sentences.

The helplessness was real, and the plea for help was also real.

Ironically, these people who are a few years older than Lin Yuexi, some even more than ten years older, instinctively turn to her when something happens if Lin Yuexi is present.

Here we have to talk about the 'ill-fated relationship' between the original owner, Leng Xingran, and his friends.

When Leng Xingran was a child, he was the typical child of a privileged family in many people's minds: playful, loyal, always calling on his brothers when trouble came, and prone to getting into trouble, and so on.

He's the kind of kid everyone sees as a troublemaker.

He's done plenty of things like breaking windows, and he's often involved in group fights. When he was in school, he was considered a "cancer" by his teachers. In short, he was universally disliked.

Before the Leng family adopted Lin Yuexi, the eldest son was sensible and well-behaved from birth, and the second son, although cold-hearted, was also very easy for the adults to take care of. Naturally, they were not stingy in spending more energy on the naughty third son.

However, after adopting Lin Yuexi, who almost always stayed in the hospital, the couple had to devote almost all of their energy to her. As a result, they couldn't stand the naughty third child no matter what they did.

Every time Leng Xingran caused trouble outside and someone complained to the family, Leng Zhi would pull out his belt, catch him, and beat him. After a period of good behavior, Leng Xingran would cause trouble again and be beaten again. Lin Yuexi was precocious. Although she didn't know she was adopted by the Leng family when she was little, by the time she was four or five, she understood that it was because of her that her parents didn't pay much attention to her older brothers, especially her third brother. No matter if her third brother had made a mistake or not, they would scold him first.

So, the little girl, with her quick wit, often started giving her third brother advice, helping him avoid his father's belt and tricking the "enemies" in the compound without exposing himself.

Gradually, Leng Xingran would always go to her for advice on any 'activity'. Xiao Lin Yuexi never disappointed him, and even had two, three, or four backup plans for 'battles', which kept Leng Xingran's group invincible.

They swept through the machinery factory's residential compound, kicking and shoving everything, yet they were never the ones getting scolded. They were incredibly arrogant.

That's how he got the nickname "Little Strategist".

Leng Xingran and Zhang Ze, these two silly huskies, looked at each other, their eyes filled with nothing but innocence, surprise, and pure stupidity.

Just couldn't see it.

"Li Bin, you bastard, I'll fight you to the death!"

A heart-wrenching roar came from the educated youth compound, interrupting everyone's thoughts.

Ren Yan jumped up and ran outside, muttering as she ran, "What's all this commotion about again? Didn't you two just have a fight?"

No wonder the brigade leader looked like he wanted to run away whenever he mentioned educated youth; who could stand that?

Zhang Ze followed without stopping. "We were fine just now, except that Zhichuan got scratched a few times by Liu Zhiqing when he went to get the grain. The commotion over there is probably because of what happened on the mountain this morning."

Lin Yuexi craned her neck towards the door, wanting to join the fun.

Leng Xingran replied coldly: No, you don't want to at all!

When Ren Yan and the others arrived at the educated youth settlement, there were already many people gathered around it, all wearing old clothes, and most of them had just returned from the mountains.

The two of them squeezed for a long time, their hair and clothes were all messed up, but seeing that they were both educated youth, the others made way for them, and they were finally able to squeeze into a corner at the entrance of the educated youth settlement.

Aunt Feng, quick-witted and agile, grabbed Ren Yan to prevent her from going in. "You little rascal, why are you going in to join the fun now? Just stay outside with me and take a look. If you try to climb on me, I won't be able to pull you off."

Ren Yan was a girl who listened to advice, so she stood next to Aunt Feng. Zhang Ze also stood with Aunt Feng's husband behind her.

There were quite a few people in the educated youth settlement. Looking in from here, all you could see was people packed together, and you couldn't see anything at the scene. "Aunt Feng, what's going on in there? It sounds like they're fighting pretty fiercely."

Aunt Feng, with the air of someone who's been through it all, waved her hand dismissively, "No way, the brigade leader and the old Party Secretary are both here. If it were really serious, they would have sent someone to call Dr. Gao already."

The fact that no doctor was called means the fight wasn't serious and there weren't many injuries.

"Remember those two wild boars?"

Ren Yan nodded: Of course I have to remember!
The cause of the matter is complicated, involving several different issues.

There were reasons such as the discord between Li Bin and his group and Sun Hua's side, the fact that Leng Xingran and his group were living too well, which provoked Sun Hua and his group, and the fact that they simply wanted to eat meat and take advantage of others.

Leng Xingran and his two friends often went up the mountain to hunt some wild game and have a secret treat. The three of them weren't too stupid. Back then, they lived in the educated youth settlement and understood that eating too much alone would arouse jealousy. So whenever they got some wild game, they would roast and eat the smaller pieces on the mountain before coming back, and if it was a larger piece, they would share some with the older educated youth so they could also have a taste of meat.
