Rebirth of a Village Girl

Chapter 41

GOUDAN WITH HIGH EQ

Wang Hongxiu swallowed nervously, took a step back, and stammered, "Wha-what do you mean?"

Wang Hongxiu hadn't anticipated that Ni Yang would see through her so easily, or that Ni Yang would proactively confront her. In theory, Ni Yang, being an outsider, should have been acting more low-key. But was she?

Rather than acting submissively, Ni Yang was assertive and intimidating. No one could humiliate her even in the slightest.

Wang Hongxiu looked at Ni Yang, immediately meeting a pair of sharp eyes with a clear division between black and white. The depth of her eyes shimmered with the reflection of light.

This gaze was unlike any of her peers, or even adults, that Wang Hongxiu had encountered before.

It was pure, transparent, confident, and calm. In short, it wasn't the look one would expect in a teenage girl.

Wang Hongxiu took another silent step back and nervously said, "I don't understand what you're talking about."

Ni Yang slightly curled her lips, "It's okay if you don't understand, I can explain it again."

She then leaned in close to Wang Hongxiu's ear and said in a cool tone, "I don't like causing trouble, but I'm not afraid of it either. We can walk our own paths without interfering with each other. That would be fine for both of us. But if you're looking for a fight, then the consequences..."

At this point, Ni Yang squinted slightly and a beautiful curve formed at the corner of her mouth as she said lightly, "You'll have to weigh that for yourself."

The voice was very serene, but it held a dangerous aura that sent chills down one's spine.

The two were quite close to each other, Wang Hongxiu could even smell the faint fragrance emitting from Ni Yang's body.

It was not quite bamboo or orchid, but somewhat like the scent of plum blossoms - fresh, natural, and very pleasant.

Wang Hongxiu had heard that there was a two-hundred-yuan bottle of high-end imported perfume sold at the department store in the city. Surely, the fragrance on Ni Yang must be from such a perfume.

Thinking about how Ni Yang could afford a two-hundred-yuan bottle of perfume added to Wang Hongxiu's envy and resentment.

Although they were of the same age, Ni Yang was able to use a two-hundred-yuan bottle of perfume, while she, Wang Hongxiu, had to haggle with her parents for several months just to get some pocket money, even if it were just a couple of cents.

Wang Hongxiu bit her lip, the glimmer in her eyes filled with discontent. She said, "I don't understand what you're talking about", then lowered her head and scurried away.

Ni Yang watched her receding figure, a slight smile playing at the corner of her lips. She had overestimated Wang Hongxiu's will to fight.

It was past two in the afternoon, the sun was still scorching. Ni Yang, carrying two buckets of fish, soon developed a thin layer of sweat on her forehead.

"Sister Ni Yang, let me help you." A dark-skinned, shirtless boy came running from the distance.

"Goudan, why are you here? Don't you have school today?" Ni Yang said with a grin.

Goudan was hopping around, "Sister Ni Yang, you're so silly, today is Sunday!" He then took one of the buckets from Ni Yang.

Though Goudan was young and not very tall, he was very strong. He handled the bucket of fish as if it were weightless, "Sister Ni Yang, give me the other one, too."
