"Jiang Yang, I'm your own sister. We share the same blood. When you get married and start your own family, you'll definitely need my help, right?"

“If you want to cut ties, then go ahead. As long as you’re not afraid of your parents writing letters to scold you, then go ahead,” Jiang Yang said stubbornly. In any case, once the money was in his hands, he would never take it out again, not even a single penny.

"Jiang Yang, are you sure you want to be this heartless? I'm your own sister," Jiang Yue asked again, seeking confirmation.

It was clear from Jiang Yue's attitude that Jiang Yang didn't care about her as his older sister. So Jiang Yue didn't intend to be polite anymore. She pretended to be furious and said, "Fine, fine, you really are my good brother. When your sister needs help, you won't help her at all. I hope that in the future, when you need help, you can go to someone else, not this sister who is unwilling to help you."

Afterwards, Jiang Yue went to the brigade headquarters and asked Captain Qian to help her write a document severing ties. She also used the village's loudspeaker to read the document three times, letting everyone in the brigade know that she had no relationship with Jiang Yang and that no one should come looking for her, whether Jiang Yang lived or died.

The document issued by the village to sever ties doesn't actually sever those ties; it only lets everyone know about it. Tomorrow, they still need to publish the notice in the newspaper to officially sever ties.

Jiang Yue really didn't want to take care of Jiang Yang, so this relationship had to be severed. She also took the opportunity to send a letter home to let them know the whole story and prevent them from blaming her without understanding the facts.

Her household registration is in Fengshou Brigade, and now even her family can't do anything about her.

If they start by doing the first thing, then they shouldn't blame her for doing the fifteenth. Besides, they were the ones who abandoned her first, so they shouldn't blame her for abandoning them too. You can't expect them to set fires while she can't even light a lamp, can you?

"Xia Minglei, Tian Xiaoke, you two go and inform those people living outside tomorrow to come over for dinner tomorrow night. Let everyone get to know each other properly. Don't work together and not even know each other's names. Besides, we are all one team and should stick together," Jiang Mo said.

Xia Minglei and Tian Xiaoke nodded; they were willing to help with such a small matter.

Song Lan said, "I'll inform Tian Shengnan."

After Wu Guoqiang and Wang Caiyun arrived, Yang Li's gaze lingered on Wu Guoqiang's face for only a few seconds before she looked away, because she could tell that this man's circumstances were very ordinary and that she could not get any benefits from him.

She might even be so desperate to divorce her husband and marry him, but she doesn't want to be a wife to such a poor man. She wouldn't get any benefits and would have to be a maid to serve his whole family.

In her eyes, only the benefits she has in hand are the most important thing. Titles are the most useless thing. What's the use of a title if a man doesn't like you and doesn't contribute to household expenses?

Instead, it restricted their freedom.

So Yang Li's gaze seemed to fall on Xia Minglei, making him proudly straighten his back. He had lost to Lin Yiwan and the other girls weren't interested in him. He thought he had lost his charm, but it turned out that his charm was as strong as ever. It was just that some women were blind!

Tonight, the seven new educated youths ate together in the main kitchen with the older educated youths, but Song Lan and Zhou Bai ate separately because their food was better.

The main kitchen has more coarse grains, while they have more refined grains. They don't want to take advantage of others, and others shouldn't even think about taking advantage of them.

Their small kitchen had a lock, and after they finished eating, they locked it and went out to find Tian Shengnan. So Gu Huai'an and the other two had to stay next door to Tian Shengnan.

The two men arrived at Donghua's house and knocked on the door. Donghua quickly ran over to open it and, seeing the two older brothers, Song Lan and Zhou Bai, asked curiously, "Big brothers, what can I do for you?"

"Donghua, we're here to see Tian Shengnan. Could you please call her for us?" Song Lan said.

"Okay." Donghua nodded and turned to run inside. "Sister Shengnan, there are two older brothers outside looking for you."

Upon hearing "two," Tian Shengnan knew who had come to see her, because no one else would have come looking for her.

Tian Shengnan walked to the door and looked at them curiously. "What do you want to see me about? Or did you have a conflict with the new guy?"

"It's unlikely that there will be any conflict. There will be a gathering at the former educated youth settlement tomorrow night, so the new and old educated youth can get to know each other properly," Song Lan said.

Tian Shengnan nodded, "I understand. You're going to inform Wenxi and the others next, right? I'll go with you."

Afterwards, the three of them went together to inform Gu Huai'an next door, and then went to Wen Xi's house. Tian Shengnan said, "Xiao Xi, seven new educated youths have arrived. There will be a gathering at the educated youth center tomorrow night. Let's all go to the educated youth center for dinner."

Wen Xi nodded, "Okay!"

She also wanted to see who the seven people were this time. She knew that one of them was Jiang Yue's younger brother, but she didn't know if the rest were the same as those in her previous life.

The second group after her was different, and I wonder if this third group will be the same...

"Xiaoxi, what vegetables are you planning to bring over tomorrow?" Tian Shengnan asked curiously. Now that she was living outside, she naturally wanted to bring food and vegetables with her.

"Mushroom soup, stir-fried wild vegetables, and stir-fried pumpkin slices will do. The three of us can just bring three dishes," Wen Xi said.

The most important thing is that Jiang Yue's younger brother is there. If Jiang Yue's younger brother finds out that they are living well here, will he pester Jiang Yue and insist on moving in and living with them?

She only cooks for the three sisters, not for four.

Tian Shengnan nodded, "Then I'll trade some radishes with Donghua and just stir-fry a plate of radishes. I'll just bring one dish with me."

"It's already very good. Even if we don't bring anything, no one can say anything to us," Wenxi said. She brought a few dishes over each time to show her respect for everyone, not to curry favor with them.

Some people just take advantage of the fact that the educated youth settlement has planted a few kinds of vegetables, but they don't produce anything!

Let's see what those new educated youth bring out tomorrow night!

The next morning, those who needed to send letters home to let their families know they were safe or who needed to buy supplies went to the village entrance to take an oxcart to the town, while those who did not need to buy supplies went to Zheng the carpenter's house to order the furniture they needed.

Jiang Yue also set off early. She was going to the commune to publish a notice in the newspaper to sever ties with her brother. She was serious about this. She only wanted eighty yuan to pay off her debt, but her brother refused to give it to her.

In other words, her brother had no intention of helping his older sister out of her predicament. Even though he knew she was having a hard time, he didn't do anything about it and only cared about enjoying himself.

So if she becomes successful in the future, her younger brother won't be able to benefit from it.
