Chapter 307: Chapter 313 The Sweater is Finished
âJust now, someone was so angry she almost burst a blood vessel, and all she could do was endure it,â Sheng Ning sharply criticized Chen Huaying.
âAh! You donât 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 didnât include her in our games, sheâd tattle even more. Sheâd run home to complain about anyone she didnât like; she was just a tattletale through and through.â
Sheng Ning deeply expressed her agreement.
âAll the kids from the General Union Courtyard suffered at her hands, making everyone afraid to offend her.â Normally, if kids got into trouble outside or had someone come to their home to complain, it didnât matter whether it was their childâs fault or not, theyâd get disciplined first and ask questions later.
Because of this, the buddies from the General Union Courtyard had their fair share of beatings.
âBut sheâs ended up living a better life than you guys.â
Chen Huaying was furious, âSheng Ning, which side are you on, huh? Donât you turn your back on me!â
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 wasnât another soul in the female comradesâ 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 hadnât 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.
âWow, look at you guys, hoarding so much good food without telling me,â Lu Dabao was so riled up that he started hopping mad. âIâve eaten these fried peanuts at Liu Yilanâs place too.â As he spoke, he shelled one and popped it into his mouth, his gaze turning more threatening the more he chewed.
âThis tastes just like the ones I had at Liu Yilanâs!â
Sheng Ning and Chen Huaying exchanged a look; they were doomed! How could they have forgotten to share with Dabao during the snacking? This wonât 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.
âItâs late. You better head back now! Otherwise, when everyone comes back, youâll struggle even to boil water,â they said.
âYeah, yeah, hurry up and take all the food with you.â
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 Youliâs 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 couldnât sleep, and Su Yun tossed and turned in her bed. Meng Xingzhi had just called to say he was busy with work and wouldnât be coming home for the next few days.
Meng Ping had run off and hadnât 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 Haiâs lazy voice came through.
