She reclaimed her family property and broke off her engagement to go to the countryside.

Chapter 60 The Righteous Captain Who Turns Evil
It was originally an inconspicuous thing, but now it has become a hot commodity.

In truth, it was somewhat intentional.

Tang Weiyu walked ahead with a smile, as if nothing had happened.

"Captain, I've also taken a liking to this house. Could you rent it to me?"

If it were someone else, it wouldn't matter.

However, the story of Tang and Ji, the educated youth, was the talk of the town throughout the entire production team.

Now they're both vying for the same house. No one would believe it's a coincidence.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Baogang was also somewhat perplexed.

"Tang Zhiqing, this house isn't very good either."

There are even more comfortable options further down the road; why don't you take a look?

The other party seemed not to understand the polite refusal.

"No, Captain, we didn't come to the countryside for pleasure."

The harsher the conditions, the more my shining red star will be forged.

This house is just right.

Instead of responding, she said some very official things, leaving the captain speechless.

Originally, Huang Chunjing hadn't been interested in this house.

But if Tang Weiyu wants it, that's a different story.

"How can you be so shameless? I just asked around and no one wanted you."

Now that Shuyin says she likes something, you come and snatch it from her? Are you addicted to stealing other people's things?

In fact, she understood it in her heart.

This guy did it on purpose; he just had nowhere to vent his anger about what happened a few days ago!
Now that I have the negatives, I have no more worries.

Today's incident was intended to give Ji Shuyin a warning.

Compared to Huang Chunjing's exasperation, Tang Weiyu appeared much calmer.

“Huang Zhiqing, that’s not how it works.”

This house is publicly listed for rent!
I was also an educated youth in our production team, so I had the right to choose.

Just because you're close to Ji Zhiqing doesn't mean you can nitpick at me!

"you……"

Ji Shuyin grabbed Huang Chunjing, who was about to step forward, and ended up facing Tang Weiyu herself.

"That's right, you do have the right to choose."

I do not deny this.

However, you should also understand the principle of first come, first served.

"I was the one who first set my sights on this house. The team leader asked about it before, but you didn't say a word."

The words may be rough, but the principle is sound; it's the truth, and everyone has seen it.

"Shuyin, I know you said it first, but so what?"
This wasn't mentioned before; it was decided in this way!

Besides, look at me, I came to the countryside all by myself.

Because of what you said, everyone has a lot of opinions about me.

I live a little further away, there's nothing I can do about it, so please don't argue with me, okay?

For once again, she revealed a vulnerable expression.

"Stop it, don't use your 'green tea' tactics on me."

The day you came, I told you the truth.

I'm just stating the facts; I haven't wronged anyone, and you don't need to morally blackmail anyone here.

Besides, I think the same way you do; we're all former sent-down youth, why should I give way to you?

Ji Shuyin retorted without missing a single word.

She moved so fast that she didn't even have time to incite those around her to condemn her before she corrected them.

So, the man turned his pleading gaze to Gu Yuncheng.

"Yuncheng, look, Shuyin is still angry with us!"

I've apologized to her quite a few times these days.

In the dorm, no matter how nasty her words were, I always endured them silently. Now, all I want is this courtyard, to be away from everyone else, is that not allowed?

If that longing look had been in the past, Gu Yuncheng would have immediately come over and reprimanded Ji Shuyin.

However, as things stand, the two of them haven't made up yet!
If he continues to side with Tang Weiyu, then all his efforts these past few days will have been in vain.

But deep down, he still wanted to say something.

While he was hesitating, Zhao Yuexiang, who was standing next to him, couldn't stand it anymore.

She had initially thought Ji Shuyin was her biggest rival, but now she realized that Tang Weiyu was an even greater threat.

The two had a disagreement yesterday morning.

The relationship had just eased up a bit, and she didn't want to let all her previous efforts go to waste.

Why are you asking Gu Zhiqing about your two affairs?
"The house isn't even his, that's ridiculous!"

The sourness in their words became even stronger.

Everyone here is smart enough to understand what's going on.

Especially the brigade leader, who seemed to have just discovered his daughter's little scheme.

Ji Shuyin snorted coldly, looking at her with some disdain.

"Comrade Zhao is right, this house is the property of the team, you've asked the wrong person."

This isn't the Gu family home, and I'm not living under someone else's roof. Gu Yuncheng can't make decisions here.

Also, there's something I need to clarify.

You, Tang Weiyu, are always forming cliques in the dormitory, going in and out with other people every day.

Since we're not good friends, it's best to keep our distance.

Also, don't pretend. Who saw you being subservient to me?
If you can't provide evidence, I can sue you for defamation.

Yes, with just one sentence, she offended Jiang Yunsha and Han Xiuying, who were on good terms with her.

"That's right, we all try to avoid you."

She's terrified that someone might skin her alive or tear her apart if she's not careful, yet she pretends to be pitiful, without even considering whether anyone will believe her.

Huang Chunjing's eyes were practically popping out of their sockets.

Ultimately, she couldn't sway public opinion, and although she was angry, there was nothing she could do.

"Alright then, since you're unwilling to give in, I have a good idea."

After saying that, he turned to look at Zhao Baogang.

"Captain, this house is rented out, and the rent money belongs to the team, am I right?"

He said that last night.

Now they're bringing it up again; I wonder what their intentions are.

"Yes."

She became even more pleased with herself after receiving a positive answer.

"In that case, I'll pay an extra dollar to rent this house."

Even if she brought it up first, the highest bidder wins, right?

These words immediately sparked a flurry of discussion among the crowd.

Is Tang, the educated youth, preparing to completely break ties with Ji, the educated youth?

Would they rather spend more money themselves to fight for this dilapidated house?
Zhao Baogang was silent for a moment, then sighed softly.

"Tang Zhiqing, the method you suggested sounds feasible."

However, we are a collectivist, so the principle of "first come, first served" is also valid.

What you're doing is particularly detrimental to unity!

Even if you personally have differing wishes, we do not advocate this kind of solution.

Tang Weiyu was somewhat shocked. Was this person lecturing her?
"Captain, I'm willing to contribute more money. That way, the team will have more income. Isn't that a win-win situation?"

They were practically calling him stupid, but Zhao Baogang remained unmoved.

"A country has its laws, and a family has its rules."

If everyone were like you, able to change other people's rights at will simply because they have money, wouldn't the whole society be in chaos?
Tang, you're still young, but your thinking needs to keep pace with the times; you can't have these outdated ideas left behind.
