Last night, a light rain fell, soaking all the wood outside. Lin Guanghui struggled to get a bundle of half-dry firewood back. He slipped and fell twice while gathering the firewood because the road was slippery, getting covered in mud. But he had no clean clothes to change into, so he had to keep wearing them.
Because of the rain, the crops in the fields were all wet, and the commune members and educated youth could not work in the fields for the time being, so they could take a rest.
Lin Sisi carried water yesterday, and her shoulder was sore from the pressure that it swelled up and hurt all night. She also hated Lin Qingyan all night.
It's all that bitch's fault. If it weren't for that bitch sending her to the countryside, she wouldn't have to suffer like this.
No, she had to teach that bitch a lesson.
As soon as he got up, I said to Lin Qingyan, "Qingyan, Guanghui and I just arrived here and we haven't bought many things yet, but we don't have any money on us. Could you lend your sister a hundred yuan? I'll pay you back as soon as I have it."
Lin Qingyan knew that Lin Sisi was going to cause trouble again.
She shook her head: "You have no money, and I'm very poor too. You can see that I'm dressed in rags and covered in rags. Look at you, you're dressed and covered in much better conditions than me. If anyone should borrow money, it should be me borrowing from you. However, I'm the kind of person who can endure hardship. As long as I can still get by, I won't ask others for money, let alone you."
Lin Sisi was unwittingly lectured by Lin Qingyan again, but she didn't really want to borrow money from Lin Qingyan because she knew that Lin Qingyan would never lend her money; she had other motives.
She said with a wronged expression, "Qingyan, I really don't have any money. But how can you say you don't have any money? Before you came, Dad gave you more than three thousand, and the Gu family gave you several thousand more. You already have several thousand yuan on you. I'm only asking to lend you one hundred, and you won't even lend that. If it were me, I would have lent it to you right away."
Her tone was somewhat downcast, but her eyes shone with a different kind of light.
Everyone here heard that, right? Lin Qingyan is very rich. You should all be thinking about taking advantage of her money.
Lin Qingyan understood that Lin Sisi's real intention was not what it seemed; she was deliberately trying to draw attention to her.
You have to understand that in this day and age, anyone who has a few thousand dollars is considered a millionaire.
People die for wealth, birds die for food.
Greed is the greatest flaw in human nature; basically, everyone loves money.
Moreover, one cannot judge a book by its cover; beneath the most innocent and harmless exterior may lie a greedy heart.
Lin Qingyan didn't distrust her roommates, but she wouldn't completely trust them either, after all, people are different.
Some people know she's rich and might come to borrow money, but others might not; they might try something underhanded and steal it directly.
"Lin Sisi, I really don't have any money. Not only do I not have the money you mentioned, but even the few hundred yuan I had was stolen by that thief. Oh, I forgot, your dad and mom gave you my mom's pension, right? You should have over a thousand yuan on you."
She wasn't as extravagant as Lin Sisi, who asked for several thousand yuan right off the bat; even a thousand yuan would be a huge sum.
The next second, Song Qingfang's eyes shot straight at Lin Sisi, like a wild beast spotting its prey.
"I didn't," Lin Sisi denied.
"Of course you don't have any! Look how well you're dressed. Your quilts and mattresses are all new, made of new cotton. My dad treats you much better than he treats me, so naturally your mom spoils you and gives you all the money and nice things. Yet you turn around and ask me for money. You're doing this on purpose, aren't you?"
"I don't have any, I really don't have any money. That thief stole all our money and valuables, even all the good stuff in my house. Luckily, I..."
"What did you put?"
Lin Qingyan seemed to have obtained a key word: Did Lin Sisi have something good?
What exactly is it?
Lin Sisi realized she had almost let slip about the jade pendant, and her mind raced. She quickly changed her words: "Luckily, I wore my favorite dress out, otherwise, I probably wouldn't even have a decent outfit. Qingyan, I really have no money left."
"I don't believe you when you say you have no money. Don't play the victim in front of me."
"I don't believe you even if you say you have no money." That damned Lin Qingyan, she's actually drawing the fire back to her again.
"Then it's up to you."
Lin Qingyan didn't care much, since all her money was in her spatial storage, and no one could steal it.
Besides, she was dressed in rags and couldn't possibly be associated with the word "rich".
She was dressed in rags and couldn't be associated with the word "rich" at all. Let others think what they want; she was just a glorious pauper, and none of those with ulterior motives would lend her money.
Yi Zhiheng had discussed changing his surname and household registration with Lin Qingyan. Since he was off work today, he could take care of it and also take the little guy to the county town for a stroll so he could adapt to the life of an ordinary person as soon as possible.
Their household registrations are currently under the jurisdiction of Mopantun Brigade. To change their surname or household registration, they need a letter of introduction from the brigade and must take it to the local police station before the police will process the application.
After finishing their meal, the siblings went to find the brigade leader and explained their situation.
The captain said, "You two are really destined to be together; you're about to become siblings so soon."
“Uncle, we’ve known each other since we were little, and neither of us has any relatives left. In the future, we will both have relatives.”
"Okay, this young educated youth, Yi, is quiet and always working with his head down. He's a good comrade. I'll write you a letter of introduction, and you can go to the police station to complete the procedures."
"Thank you, Uncle."
Yi Zhiheng was still not used to communicating with people, so he stood quietly without saying a word.
As Lin Qingyan received the letter of introduction and was preparing to leave with Yi Zhiheng, Li Qinqin saw her in the courtyard.
"Sister Qingyan, I have good news for you. I used the ointment you made, and it feels much better after I applied it. It's not so itchy anymore."
Lin Qingyan couldn't see much change in her face yet.
"As long as there is improvement, that's good. Acne doesn't appear in a day, and it's impossible to get rid of acne in a short time. You must persevere, and you will definitely see even more amazing results."
"Okay, Sister Qingyan."
After leaving the brigade leader's house, Lin Qingyan and Yi Zhiheng went to the village entrance to take an oxcart.
At this time, Lin Sisi and Lin Guanghui also came out of the educated youth settlement. Lin Sisi herself had very little money left, and Lin Guanghui was also penniless. She wanted Lin Guanghui to write a letter to Fang Huilan, asking Fang Huilan to send Lin Guanghui some money or daily necessities such as bedding.
Besides, she hasn't had a chance to write to Gu Mingzhou in the few days since she arrived. She must tell Gu Mingzhou how hard she's been here so that he can come to see her soon.
As luck would have it, just as they reached the oxcart, Lin Qingyan and Yi Zhiheng arrived. On the oxcart were three women from the same village, as well as two educated youths, Hu Jiajia and Shen Man.
