Shen Yuan certainly heard the news about the restoration of the college entrance exam, and she couldn't deny that her heart was stirred.
Yet when she rushed to the county town and the city areas, even after searching through bookstores and waste collection stations, she frustratingly discovered there were none to be found.
When she asked the bookstore when they would have books, the reply was that they didn't know when they'd have stock, as the entire country was scrambling for them.
Shen Yuan, finding no solution, had thought of approaching Shen Jie, knowing that she had books; but after visiting twice, she found a crowd of people around the door and no one to open it.
From their conversations, Shen Yuan learned that Shen Jie had actually donated many textbooks, which infuriated her.
She deeply felt that Shen Jie was a fool. With excess books in hand, how could she not think of selling them?
