Stunning Check-in: A Carefree Life Begins in the Countryside

An Lan felt somewhat helpless.

If it weren't for her family background, and if her husband hadn't been so unfaithful, why would she have done this?

At this moment, as long as she displays her greatest advantage, this group will be completely defeated instantly.

But doing so might alienate everyone except Li Yuxue from Xia An.

It wouldn't be good if she upset her husband and he became cold towards her.

She had a feeling that Xia An, having said he would take responsibility for her, would definitely...

But if she ruined his plans, he would definitely feel a little displeased.

She didn't want Xia An to be unhappy.

At this time,

Jiang Mengmeng gritted her teeth, her voice becoming colder and more resolute.

"I like Xia An. I've had a crush on him ever since he boarded the train."

"I don't care if it will affect him; let's compete fairly."

Shen Nianchu squeezed her younger sister's hand, and Shen Nian'an, understanding, echoed:

"I... also like Brother Xia, and I agree to fair competition."

I agree.

Ye Wan'er gritted her teeth and said that she still had one advantage: Xia An had responded to her.

Xia An most likely likes her.

Although it lost a slight advantage due to its ingredients, it still has its own strengths.

Ye Qingxuan shrugged. "You all agree, but this isn't fair."

As she spoke, she looked at Luo Yunshu.

"Comrade Luo and Xia An work together day and night, which gives them a natural advantage."

"And don't forget, she also has Li Yuxue as an accomplice."

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions tightened slightly, and they all turned to look at Luo Yunshu.

Luo Yunshu glared at Ye Qingxuan. Why did this woman point this out?

"Let's rely on our own abilities."

Luo Yunshu was somewhat annoyed. She left after saying a few words, pulling Li Yuxue away.

Ye Qingxuan and the other five exchanged glances, their sense of crisis intensifying slightly.

Perhaps only Anlan possesses a heart as calm as still water.

Ye Qingxuan glanced at An Lan and Ye Wan'er, her expression slightly hesitant.

"Alright, since we said it would be based on skill, then let's be based on skill."

But then, as if remembering something, she glanced at An Lan and Ye Wan'er, her voice cold and clear.

"But let's make this clear first, you two are not allowed to do anything shameless like sneaking into bed together."

Ye Wan'er blushed slightly, "You can rest assured, I would never do such a thing."

An Lan shrugged. "Why are you looking at me like that? I didn't intend to compete with you. I just want a position."

"I'll support whoever gives it to me."

Although she thought this to herself, she had already decided to try and persuade Xia An.

If it were possible, wouldn't the position of the eldest son's wife be hers?

The others didn't think much of it.

With someone like Li Yuxue already emerging, it wouldn't be surprising to have someone like An Lan as well.

The group discussed the division of labor for cooking together, as well as the issue of sharing furniture and other utilities.

About half an hour later, they each left.

In the room,

Shen Nian'an held Shen Nianchu's hand, her eyes slightly red.

"Sis, what should we do?"

Shen Nianchu shook her head. "Silly sister, I'll help you."

"But you also need to be mentally prepared, after all, Luo Yunshu does have a lot of advantages."

Upon hearing this, Shen Nian'an's expression showed some struggle, then she gritted her teeth and said:

"Sister, you..."

"I know what you want to say. Do you remember our promise from when we were little?"

Shen Nianchu chuckled, gently rubbing her head, and said in a relaxed voice:

"We agreed that we would marry into the same family of two brothers, so that we could look after each other."

"Now that you like him, even if he's an only child, I'll accept it."

Shen Nian'an smiled.

"Sister, you're so kind!"

……

next door.

Ye Qingxuan approached Jiang Mengmeng, "Are you really planning to rely on your own abilities?"

"If you don't use some tricks, you won't have any advantage at all."

Jiang Mengmeng was a little annoyed. "What do you want to say?"

She knew this all too well, but giving up was impossible for her.

Ye Qingxuan said with a faint expression:

"Do you know?"

"I had a dream that it would be five or six years before I could return to the city, but after returning, I had no job and was forced to marry a mentally challenged man."

"Furthermore, six or seven out of ten female educated youth returned with their children or abandoned them."

"Of the remaining three or four out of ten, they died in the countryside. Do you know what that means?"

Jiang Mengmeng's expression hardened. "Just dreaming. What's the big deal?"

"You don't understand." Ye Qingxuan shook her head, her gaze lingering on the window.

She sighed softly, "The atmosphere in Anping Village is considered quite good. In other villages, the bachelors are like wolves and tigers, but the female educated youth are not so good."

Jiang Mengmeng frowned, then suddenly remembered something and turned to look at Ye Qingxuan.

"So, you deliberately made yourself look ugly when you came here, and even said you didn't plan to return to the city, just for this reason?"

"You only dropped your pretense because you thought Xia An was reliable and wanted to compete with him."

"You really believe in dreams that much?"

Ye Qingxuan shook her head and smiled wryly, "It's not that I believe, it's that I'm certain."

"My biased parents and heartless brother and sister-in-law are capable of doing such a thing."

As she spoke, she told a little lie:

"Before I came here, I received a clear letter from a friend. She said that none of the female educated youth in her village were spared; they were all forced to marry commune members."

"Even though Anping Village has a good atmosphere and we were spared from disaster under these circumstances..."

"After we return to the city, will anyone believe we are innocent?"

"By then, there will be no jobs in the city, and we'll be past our prime. Who will marry us?"

"If your family forced you to marry a disabled person or an old bachelor, would you be willing?"

Jiang Mengmeng's delicate body trembled.

Yes,

Everyone else is like this, so even if she manages to hold on until the end and goes back, will anyone believe her?

She took a deep breath.

"Thank you for telling me all this; it has strengthened my resolve to win Xia An's heart."

Hearing this, Ye Qingxuan shook her head and chuckled, "Can't you see?"

"Li Yuxue doesn't want a formal title, and Luo Yunshu, being in a favorable position, is determined to have her."

"Even if Xia An is devoted, she can't withstand their combined efforts."

"Shen Nian'an is delicate and frail, but she has her sister's help. Do you think Shen Nianchu will sacrifice herself to help Shen Nian'an succeed?"

"Ye Wan'er has the advantage of living nearby, and An Lan has such a good relationship with her."

"You say An Lan is a carbon copy of Li Yuxue? Can you really compete with her?"

Upon hearing this analysis, Jiang Mengmeng's expression turned serious, and she gave Ye Qingxuan a deep look.

"You've said all that, so you just want to cooperate with me, right?"

"Or do you want me to give up and become another Li Yuxue?"

Ye Qingxuan's expression was complicated. "Although I'm unwilling, following Xia An together is actually the best choice."

"I... can share with you, and in the end, who registers the marriage with him will depend entirely on who he prefers?"

"After registering, we tacitly accepted each other's existence, resulting in a win-win situation for both parties."

Jiang Mengmeng's expression showed a struggle for a moment, then she took a deep breath.
