She Lives without Regret in This Life

Chapter 307: Chapter 313 The Sweater is Finished

”Just now, someone was so angry she almost burst a blood vessel, and all she could do was endure it,” Sheng Ning sharply criticized Chen Huaying.

”Ah! You don’t know, this Hai Lan was very annoying when we were kids. Every time we played with everyone, she liked to cry and to act pitiful. It made everyone cater to her, or she would go tell on us. If we didn’t include her in our games, she’d tattle even more. She’d run home to complain about anyone she didn’t like; she was just a tattletale through and through.”

Sheng Ning deeply expressed her agreement.

”All the kids from the General Union Courtyard suffered at her hands, making everyone afraid to offend her.” Normally, if kids got into trouble outside or had someone come to their home to complain, it didn’t matter whether it was their child’s fault or not, they’d get disciplined first and ask questions later.

Because of this, the buddies from the General Union Courtyard had their fair share of beatings.

”But she’s ended up living a better life than you guys.”

Chen Huaying was furious, ”Sheng Ning, which side are you on, huh? Don’t you turn your back on me!”

The three laid everything out on the table, and seeing that it was getting late, they went back to their rooms to wash up and rest.

Besides them, there wasn’t another soul in the female comrades’ dormitory, and Lu Dabao, clinging to them, refused to leave. After briefly rummaging here and there, he quickly found a lot of tasty snacks.

Because of the freezing winter weather, Sheng Ning and Chen Huaying quickly washed up and soaked their feet in hot water before hopping into bed.

Sheng Ning took out the sweater she was nearly finished knitting and continued working on it. Just half a sleeve left, and it would be done tonight.

They hadn’t had a day off for half a month, but after a few more days of hard work, they would have one. As soon as they did, she would send off the sweater.

”Wow, look at you guys, hoarding so much good food without telling me,” Lu Dabao was so riled up that he started hopping mad. ”I’ve eaten these fried peanuts at Liu Yilan’s place too.” As he spoke, he shelled one and popped it into his mouth, his gaze turning more threatening the more he chewed.

”This tastes just like the ones I had at Liu Yilan’s!”

Sheng Ning and Chen Huaying exchanged a look; they were doomed! How could they have forgotten to share with Dabao during the snacking? This won’t do! If he found out, Dabao would surely hold a grudge for a long time.

He had given Chen Huaying so much trouble after that cross-country race last time!

The two hurriedly packed up the food and dumped it all on Lu Dabao.

”It’s late. You better head back now! Otherwise, when everyone comes back, you’ll struggle even to boil water,” they said.

”Yeah, yeah, hurry up and take all the food with you.”

With a mix of coaxing and deceiving, they finally managed to trick Lu Dabao into leaving.

Sheng Ning continued knitting the sweater, and only after she finished the last cuff did Wu Youli and Zhang Hongmei return.

Seeing Wu Youli’s ecstatic appearance, Sheng Ning could finally relax completely. With her current popularity and the attention from higher-ups, she believed that Wu Youli would definitely not repeat the mistakes of her past life.

Sheng Ning looked over the sweater, admiring it from every angle. No matter how she looked at it, she loved it. Holding the soft, comfortable sweater, she gently rubbed it against her face for a while before carefully putting it away.

She decided, on her day off, she would visit the War Wolf Rescue Team.

At night, many people couldn’t sleep, and Su Yun tossed and turned in her bed. Meng Xingzhi had just called to say he was busy with work and wouldn’t be coming home for the next few days.

Meng Ping had run off and hadn’t been home since.

Thinking of her daughter she had left behind in the countryside, Su Yun started suffering from sleepless nights, one after another, and her temper became increasingly irritable.

Eventually, she got out of bed and called Su Hai in the middle of the night.

After the phone connected, Su Hai’s lazy voice came through.
