She will definitely be richer than her brother in the future, and will definitely be the richest person in the family, because she has a good friend, Wenxi, who earned a year's salary in just a few months this year.
If she follows Wenxi closely from now on, she'll definitely be able to earn more.
Given her brother's character, once he finds out she's made money, he'll definitely come and demand it, or try to get her to hand over her wealth to him. So, what she's doing now is a case of being prepared for the worst.
If her brother comes near her, she takes out the newspaper severing ties with him, and says that they have no relationship whatsoever. If he comes to her door to cause trouble, she can call the police.
Jiang Yue arrived at the commune, found a place, paid to place an advertisement in the newspaper, and would see it in a couple of days. In those days, many people would sever ties by publishing advertisements in the newspaper; it was quite a trend!
So the matter was resolved smoothly by publishing a notice to sever ties in the newspaper!
With one issue resolved, Jiang Yue finally felt relieved.
In the evening, Wenxi and her two friends set off for the educated youth settlement with three dishes. On the way, they met Tian Shengnan, Gu Huai'an, Li Jianguo, and Lu Mingxiu.
Gu Huai'an and his two companions only brought two dishes, fearing that if they brought too many, the table for the educated youth would not be big enough.
With the addition of the seven newly arrived educated youth, there are now more than twenty educated youth in total.
When they arrived at the educated youth settlement, Lu Xiaoyun and Liang Zhaodi, who lived outside, had already come over, as had Li Wei, who lived at Qian Chunxing's house. Two tables outside the large kitchen had already been put together. Wen Xi and the others simply placed the dishes on the tables, delivered their own rations to the kitchen, and then came out.
They've already prepared the food and brought it over, so naturally they won't help with the cooking.
Liang Zhaodi and Chu Wan'er no longer dared to be sarcastic or sarcastic when they saw Wen Xi and the other two, for fear that Wen Xi and the others would bring up past incidents and embarrass them in front of the new educated youth.
"You're Jiang Yue's younger brother, Jiang Yang?" Wen Xi looked at Jiang Yang sitting opposite her. "That's great! You've finally come. Your sister has been living with me for the past year. She's slow at work and doesn't get many work points, so she's practically been living off me. Now that you, her younger brother, are here, shouldn't you pay back the money your sister owes me? You're siblings, so it's only natural for a younger brother to help his older sister pay off her debts. It can't be that it's only natural for an older sister to spend money on her younger brother, but it's not natural for her to spend money on her younger brother, can it?"
Jiang Yang stood up abruptly. "Jiang Yue owes you money, so make Jiang Yue pay it back herself. We've already severed ties. Didn't you hear what they said on the radio?"
Wen Xi calmly picked at her ear. "Maybe I've been too busy? I didn't hear anything on the radio. But aren't you siblings? Why would you suddenly cut ties?"
Wen Xi finished speaking and looked at Jiang Yue beside her, "Weren't you looking forward to your brother's arrival? You even said that your mother would definitely have your brother bring money to you, and then you could pay me back. How did things turn out like this?"
Jiang Yue lowered her head, looking aggrieved. "I never imagined that not only do my parents favor boys over girls, but my younger brother doesn't like me either. You know, I used to raise him and take care of him. I never thought I would raise such an ungrateful child. Waaaaah..."
Jiang Yue started crying as she spoke. She wanted everyone to know that she and her brother didn't get along and that they shouldn't come to her for anything in the future.
Wen Xi patted Jiang Yue on the shoulder and advised, "Since you've severed ties, there's no relationship between you anymore. Whether he lives or dies is none of your business. He's responsible for everything. Just focus on earning work points to support yourself."
Knowing that Jiang Yue was acting, Wen Xi naturally played along. "If my brother dares to treat me like this, dares to disrespect me, I'll take a knife and chop him up, so he'll learn how to write the word 'respect' properly."
Jiang Yue sobbed, "I know, nobody likes me, so I'll just like myself and be good to myself. I won't make sacrifices for anyone else anymore."
After hearing Jiang Yue's words, everyone turned to look at Jiang Yang. It was one thing for the parents to favor boys over girls, but for the younger brother to disrespect his older sister was another. It seemed that he had been corrupted by his parents long ago.
Seeing everyone looking at him, Jiang Yang awkwardly got up and left. He figured, fine, he wouldn't take out any money or tickets anyway; he wouldn't mistreat himself.
"I've already published a notice in the newspaper severing ties. You'll see it in a couple of days. Jiang Yang and I are no longer siblings. Please don't treat us like siblings anymore," Jiang Yue said, sobbing.
She wanted everyone to know that severing ties was out of necessity, not something she wanted to do voluntarily. If anyone was going to criticize, it should be Jiang Yang, not her.
"Dinner's ready!" Tian Xiaoke brought out the last dish, placed it on the table, and shouted towards the girls' dormitory.
These newcomers are pretty lazy. They knew there was a gathering tonight, but they didn't even bother to show their heads. I initially thought Wang Xinru was a good person, but it seems they're all pretty much the same—nothing particularly good, but probably nothing particularly bad either.
Wang Xinru, Xu Mengying, Zuo Qiuyi, and Yang Li came out of their dormitory after hearing Tian Xiaoke's shout. They were quite surprised to see the courtyard full of people.
When Wenxi saw Wang Xinru, she was somewhat surprised. She wouldn't comment on other people's appearances, but Wang Xinru's clothes showed that she came from a well-off family. From now on, not only the educated youth settlement, but the whole village would probably become 'lively'.
When Wang Xinru saw Wen Xi, she was slightly surprised. This surprise was not because she knew Wen Xi, but because Wen Xi was really very beautiful. She had bright white teeth, sparkling eyes, and a face whiter than a goose feather. Even she, a woman, couldn't help but be moved by her. She was more beautiful than the most beautiful girl in their compound.
"The Flower of the Compound" was the most beautiful girl in her family's compound. From childhood to adulthood, boys from the compound and other compounds loved to follow her around. Even the boy she had liked and wanted to marry since childhood was the same; his heart and eyes were only for "The Flower of the Compound."
She had a nightmare that taught her that the "flower of the compound" would bring her a lifetime of misery, so her family arranged for her to go to the countryside to find Xia Minglei, and she agreed.
She never wanted to see the boy she had a crush on chasing after her for the rest of his life, but she never expected that Xia Minglei would secretly get married in the countryside.
Wang Xinru walked to Wen Xi's side and said with a smile, "Hello, my name is Wang Xinru, it's nice to meet you."
Wen Xi smiled faintly, "Hello, let's introduce ourselves to each other once everyone has arrived, otherwise we'll have to introduce ourselves again and again."
“Okay.” Wang Xinru nodded, then found a place to sit down near Wenxi, and the other three women also found places to sit down.
