Chapter 99 A Suspected Transmigrator Appears

Having already walked some distance, Wang Xuan heard these words and quickly turned around, her face beaming with undisguised joy.

"Tell me, don't just mention one condition, as long as you can borrow this set of books from us, ten or eight conditions are fine too."

Seeing the expectation on Wang Xuan's face, Jiang Xixi smiled.

"I can lend you the book, but there's only one condition: you must sign a guarantee that once you take my book, no matter if you fail the exam or something unexpected happens, you can't hold me responsible."

Furthermore, you can only borrow this set of books for a maximum of one week. During this week, you can photocopy them, or you can copy them by hand. After all, my husband and I are also taking the college entrance examination this year, and we need this set of books as well.

Don't say that Jiang Xixi's request was unnecessary. Some difficult and unreasonable people will really blame others for not passing the exam.

She did this just in case.

"that's all?"

Wang Xuan was somewhat incredulous. This was the only request?

Seeing Wang Xuan about to sign the paper without saying a word, Jiang Xixi quickly stopped her.

"Take it back and explain it to the people at your educated youth settlement. Also, I will charge a rental fee for this set of books, ten yuan in total. As for how to pay, that is your own business."

Actually, Jiang Xixi lent this set of books to these educated youths not for money; she had her own ulterior motives.

Jiang Xixi wasn't interested in just ten yuan; what she valued was the enormous potential of this group of educated youth.

If she remembered correctly, quite a few of the educated youth from that generation in her previous life went on to get into junior colleges or universities.

Some even became local bigwigs, such as Wei Chengmin, the elder brother of the educated youth settlement.

...

"Ten yuan?"

After Wang Xuan returned to the educated youth settlement and told everyone about Jiang Xixi's request, sure enough, there was a troublemaker in the middle.

"It's not about you paying ten yuan by yourself, it's about us all contributing together. I've calculated that there are exactly ten of us, so each of us just needs to contribute one yuan," Wang Xuan explained patiently.

After saying that, he added another sentence.

“Wang Gang, we all know your situation. If you really can’t come up with this money, a few of us can pay for it first. You can pay us back when you have the money.”

The others nodded in agreement.

Wang Gang looked embarrassed and very uncomfortable.

"It's just borrowing a book, why do you have to charge ten yuan for rental? I can easily come up with one yuan. I'm just worried that you, Wang Xuan, will be scammed."

Ten yuan? That's enough to buy a stack of books in the county town. You dare to ask for such an exorbitant amount just to borrow it for a week?

Seeing that everyone at the educated youth settlement was very willing, he thought to himself that they were a bunch of fools.

“At this time, at this price, it’s not expensive. We’re all taking the college entrance exam together. It’s already good enough that they’re willing to lend us money.” Wang Xuan didn’t speak. The one who spoke was the male educated youth from HA city.

Others may not know the market situation, but surely he does.

To be honest, let alone ten yuan, even a hundred yuan wouldn't be enough to buy this book now.

Seeing that Wang Gang was still dawdling and reluctant, he was getting impatient.

"Just one word: do you want it or not? If not, the nine of us can share it."

He doesn't need those meager sums, and besides, looking at Wang Gang like this, who knows what kind of trouble he might cause after borrowing the book? It's really annoying!

After much deliberation, Wang Gang finally decided not to pay the money.

He thought that once they had all finished copying, he could borrow their copies and copy them himself, and they wouldn't mind.

The eldest brother, Wei Chengming, wanted to say something, but before he could speak, he was stopped by the others.

You've been living together for so long, do you think everyone's a fool who can't see through his little scheme?

Trying to take advantage? Hmph, just you wait!

"Here's ten yuan. This is a guarantee signed by everyone in our educated youth settlement. Take a look."

Jiang Xixi took the money and paper from Wang Xuan, and paused when she saw the signature.

Why isn't the name of that troublemaking educated youth from my past life on it?

Seeing the puzzled look on Jiang Xixi's face, Wang Xuan carefully chose her words and said, "One of the educated youths said it wasn't necessary, so his name isn't on the list."

"Wang Gang?"

Although she was puzzled as to why Jiang Xixi knew about Wang Gang, Wang Xuan nodded nonetheless.

It really was him. He doesn't need it? Haha, he probably just wants to get it for free.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have stolen other people's study materials in my previous life.

Well, since that person isn't up there, it saves her some trouble.

The transaction went smoothly, with the money exchanged for the book.

When the deal was finalized, both of them were very satisfied and felt that they had gotten a great deal.

...

As the exam date drew closer, the atmosphere in the village grew increasingly tense.

"What's wrong now? Why do you look so disheveled?" Jiang Xixi was reading a book when she saw Wei Laicheng come in, glanced at him, and asked.

"Wife, Liu Zhi is going to the county to get a divorce with his wife tomorrow."

"So fast?"

"Well, there's no other way but to divorce him. That woman will cause trouble at home if she doesn't get a divorce. Yesterday, she put the child in ice water for an entire afternoon and threatened Liu Zhi that if he doesn't get a divorce, she'll just throw the child into the deep mountains next time."

When Wei Laicheng said this, there was a hint of gritted teeth in his voice.

Hearing this, Jiang Xixi couldn't bear to watch any longer.

That woman is ruthless!

How could you bear to part with your own child?

"Don't the brigade leader and the party secretary care?" Jiang Xixi was a little surprised. This thing was almost causing a death. Given that the two of them were so eager to be the best in the brigade, it shouldn't be like this!

"Their own homes are in chaos, how can they have time to care about other people's homes?"

The brigade leader's youngest son also married a female educated youth, and they've been making a scene at home these past few days!

There's also Xiaofang from the village secretary's family. She's their only daughter, and they spoil her rotten. She married a sent-down youth.

The young man didn't mention divorce; he just told the village secretary's family that he was going to take the college entrance exam, but the village secretary's family couldn't rest easy about that.

Both families are in a mess right now!

Oh, Jiang Xixi remembered. It seemed like something like that happened in her previous life, but it had been so long that she had forgotten.

However, I vaguely remember that the brigade leader's third daughter-in-law eventually got her wish and got a divorce.

The son-in-law of the village secretary is quite a kind-hearted person. After he got into university, he brought Xiaofang and her child to the city, and they ended up living a very prosperous life.

Jiang Xixi pulled herself out of her thoughts, looked at Wei Laicheng, and pondered something.

The return of educated youth to the city is an inevitable trend and a product of the times. This college entrance examination is just the first opportunity. In a few years, after all the policies are implemented, there will be more unrest in the village.

However, this has little to do with them.

But what Wei Laicheng said next was very relevant to them.

He suddenly remembered something, his expression turned extremely aggrieved, and he complained to his wife.

"Honey, you don't know, I met a weird woman today who said she was willing to marry me, to save me, and even said she wanted to have my babies. Do you think she's out of her mind?"
