Since the last time she borrowed money, Huang Lei could feel that Wang Nan must have held significant grievances against her.
Whenever they happened to meet on the street, it was always with a blatantly ignoring expression, as if invisibility wasn't enough, she even had to snort disdainfully to assert her presence.
Wang Nan wasn't paying her any attention, so of course Huang Lei wasn't going to obsequiously seek her out.
As a result of not sharing a dormitory with Wang Nan, she made a few new friends and could enjoy chatting with them.
She felt very relaxed, and had also eased her relationship with the Huang Family Elders, like after the autumn harvest when she exchanged for some vermicelli and bought fifty pounds of new rice.
Although it cost her quite a bit of money, these items could be acquired without the need for ration coupons, only with cash.
Through these two items, Huang Lei restored contact with the Elders in her family.
