Chapter 17: No One Can Guilt-Trip Her!

Aunt Liu felt a sense of futility, like she was talking to a wall.

She never expected that in her first encounter with this stubborn girl, Su Wantang, Su Wantang wouldn’t be the least bit fazed.

Instead, it was she who was nearly driven mad by Su Wantang.

Aunt Liu, having been outdone, picked up the hoe from the ground and swung it wildly in a fit of anger.

Seeing that Aunt Liu was ignoring her, Su Wantang became even more energized.

With a dogtail grass in her mouth and her legs crossed, she kept asking, “Aunt Liu, you haven’t answered me yet. I have a hardworking father, do you?”

“Do you or don’t you?”

“Hey, hey, hey, Aunt Liu, why aren’t you talking? You’re working so fast, is it because your father isn’t hardworking enough?”

“Tsk tsk, it’s so pitiful for children without fathers…”

“…”

Su Wantang continued to tease Aunt Liu relentlessly.

Aunt Liu was so angry she almost swung her hoe to kill her.

Finally, the Captain and Shen Yu, who had come from the educated youth point, saw them.

They quickly moved Aunt Liu to another field to work, and the matter subsided.

Someone kindly advised Aunt Liu, “Why did you provoke her? You didn’t see her beat Lin Mei yesterday. Everyone thinks…”

The person pointed to their head and whispered, “Everyone thinks she’s suffered a mental breakdown, maybe a little crazy. Remember to stay away from her in the future…”

Aunt Liu stopped working and secretly looked towards Su Wantang.

She saw Su Wantang sitting on the edge of the field, swaying her head.

She was doubtful, “No way? Crazy? Really crazy?”

Someone nearby responded, “She’s probably crazy. Otherwise, look at her. She used to work so efficiently, and now she doesn’t even know how to work. If it’s not a brain problem, what is it?”

Aunt Liu started to believe it.

Her eyes lit up, and she whispered to the person next to her, “You said she’s crazy, will the Fu family still want her? The son of the Fu family is promising. Will he be willing to marry a crazy woman?”

Someone laughed, “Aunt Liu, even if the Fu family doesn’t marry her, it won’t be your fat daughter’s turn. Save your worries and hurry up and work!”

Aunt Liu rolled her eyes, but she had a plan in mind and suddenly felt more energetic about working!

The Captain had also heard some rumors about Su Wantang. Yesterday, he witnessed Su Wantang’s outburst and attack.

Looking at Su Wantang still sitting on the edge of the field in a daze, he couldn’t help but feel that young people nowadays were too fragile and couldn’t handle things.

So he walked over and squatted beside her.

With a friendly smile on his face, he asked, “Xiao Wan, why aren’t you working?”

Su Wantang answered honestly, “Too tired, don’t want to work.”

The Captain was stunned and continued to persuade her earnestly, “If you don’t work, you won’t get work points, and without work points, you can’t exchange for food. Without food, you’ll starve…”

Su Wantang turned to look at the Captain, then raised the corner of her mouth and asked, “Captain, do you know what I ate this morning?”

The Captain was slightly stunned, not knowing why Su Wantang would ask this. He shook his head in bewilderment.

Su Wantang grinned, “This morning, I not only drank sweet potato porridge but also ate a sweet potato and an egg.”

The Captain was still bewildered but still persuaded, “You can eat these things because you worked hard and diligently in the past, earning your food with your hard work.”

Su Wantang shook her head, “Captain, even though I worked so hard before, I could only drink a bowl of porridge every day, and I haven’t eaten an egg in months.”

“Do you know why? Because there were two bloodsuckers in my family before, but now the bloodsuckers are gone, and only my father and I are left. I’ve calculated that the work points I earned before, plus my father’s work points, are enough for the two of us to eat.”

She thought back to her time in the new century, working hard and saving every penny, finally managing to buy a house.

She thought her life would finally be comfortable.

Who knew that she would wake up and find herself in a book!

Other people who transmigrated were either rich young ladies or, at the very least, stand-ins for wealthy families!

Who had it as hard as she did?

Transmigrating to an era of scarcity, where she had to work every day just to eat.

Who would still be a workaholic after transmigrating?

She wasn’t going to do any work.

Whoever wanted to work could do it.

Last night, she counted the money the original owner had saved and the money her mother had left her.

Plus the money she got back from Fang Shishen and Song Shiyi yesterday.

It added up to more than 600 yuan.

A huge sum!

She had already avenged the original owner upon her arrival, so spending a little of her money wasn’t too much, was it?

Therefore, she just wanted to lie flat and do nothing, to do whatever felt comfortable!

No one could guilt-trip her!

The moment she inexplicably transmigrated, she had lost her morals!

The Captain finally understood.

This girl wanted her father to work alone to earn work points while she lazed around.

The Captain stood up, looking at Su Wantang seriously, and said, “Xiao Wan, your performance at the educated youth point last night was excellent. Why has your thinking changed so drastically today? Are you so comfortable letting your father support you?”

Su Wantang nodded confidently, “Very comfortable! If you, Captain, think it’s not comfortable, then assign me a lighter job.”

“For example, supervising everyone’s work every day. My eyesight is good, I can see anyone slacking off at a glance! Or let me chat with everyone every day. You saw, after Aunt Liu talked to me just now, she was swinging her hoe so fast it was almost smoking…”

The Captain: “…”

This girl sure can think.

If she were given the job of supervision, what would he, the Captain, do?

And chatting with everyone, if chatting could earn work points, wouldn’t he let his family members do it?

This girl was hopeless.

Was she sometimes crazy and sometimes normal because of the stimulation from her stepmother and stepsister?

The more he looked at her, the more he felt that if he didn’t give in to her, she would retaliate against society.

The Captain looked at her cautiously and said, “Then you should rest for now.”

Su Wantang had been waiting for this sentence from the Captain, so she could legitimately not work.

So she nodded repeatedly, “Okay!”

Then she stood up, patted the dust off her clothes, and left the working area without looking back.

The Captain was stunned.

Wow!

She really didn’t work when she said she wouldn’t!

Aunt Liu had been paying attention to the Captain and Su Wantang.

Seeing that after the Captain’s long persuasion, Su Wantang still refused to work.

She thought the Captain would severely criticize her!

Unexpectedly, this little vixen didn’t understand good intentions and just turned around and went home?

The world had gone upside down!

Watching Su Wantang walk away, the Captain also left.

Aunt Liu couldn’t help but mutter, “Tsk! Lazy and crazy, who will dare to marry her in the future? This kind of woman, even if you marry her home, you’ll have to treat her like an ancestor!”

“Bang!”

A loud noise suddenly sounded, a shovel slammed down beside Aunt Liu’s feet, startling her.

Aunt Liu widened her eyes and cursed, “Who? Who threw it? Trying to kill someone!”
