Moreover, a car initially costs around 200,000 to 100,000 yuan. With that money, you could buy dozens of courtyard houses. When they become valuable in the future, you could earn hundreds of millions. However, a car's value decreases the longer it's driven. Therefore, Wenxi definitely won't buy a car so early. With that money, she'll buy houses everywhere and save them for future appreciation.
That way, I can stop and enjoy life.
Before the late rice harvest began, Jiang Yue brought back the newspapers and took a whole stack. She posted one on the wall of the educated youth compound, one in the place where everyone was queuing to be assigned tasks, one in the canteen, and one on her own door. She wanted everyone to know that she and Jiang Yang had broken off their relationship and that they shouldn't contact her for anything in the future.
Once Jiang Yang has squandered all his money, he shouldn't try to take advantage of her. When he runs out of food, he shouldn't come looking for his abandoned sister.
Jiang Yue's actions were considered quite ruthless by everyone, but if others knew that Jiang Yang brought several hundred yuan with him when he went to the countryside, while she only brought thirty yuan, and that Jiang Yang refused to give her eighty yuan, they would realize that Jiang Yue's actions were not so ruthless after all.
Jiang Yue asked for eighty yuan on purpose. She wanted to see if Jiang Yang cared about her. Since she was sure that Jiang Yang didn't care about her as his older sister, why should she act as his older sister and take care of him?
Jiang Yue had previously told her family that she had broken off her relationship with Jiang Yang, saying that she owed eighty yuan and Jiang Yang was unwilling to help her pay off the debt, and that she no longer considered Jiang Yang her brother.
Then her family sent a letter scolding Jiang Yue mercilessly, blaming her for spending eighty yuan in less than a year without considering that when she first went to the countryside, she didn't even have work points and couldn't exchange them for grain, so she could only buy grain. Moreover, it was the dead of winter when she went to the countryside, so she definitely needed to buy things. But they hadn't thought about these things.
Jiang Yue then complained to her family, asking for money. She said that if her family didn't give her money, they would sever ties with her and pretend they didn't have her as their daughter. Otherwise, she would write several letters home every month asking for money, and she would also write to the neighbors and the factory leaders to ask if everyone treated their daughters this way. She worried that if things got out of hand and the neighbors knew about their behavior, it would damage the family's reputation. If her younger brother couldn't get married and her younger sister couldn't marry into a good family, then they shouldn't blame her.
Jiang Yue wrote several letters to her parents, successfully forcing them to publish a notice in the newspaper severing their relationship. They even sent the newspaper to Jiang Yue, as if the shackles on Jiang Yue's heart had been suddenly unlocked.
From then on, no one in the family could take advantage of her, and even if she died in the countryside, she would never contact them again.
Of course, that's all in the future. Right now, it's time to harvest the late rice. Everyone went out at six o'clock in the morning and went to the fields to harvest the late rice at six twenty o'clock sharp.
And so the 'crunching' sound of harvesting echoed continuously in the field.
The seven newly arrived educated youth had only been there a few days. Team leader Qian was worried that they might cut themselves, so he had three male comrades harvest the rice, while the four female comrades were scattered and assigned to four aunties to learn how to bundle the rice.
The reason they're not allowed to be together is because they're afraid the four of them will cause trouble together.
After all, Captain Qian knew these people's character from the moment he picked them up; they were all troublesome. Of all the batches of educated youth he had taken in, Wenxi's batch was of higher quality.
If all the educated youth were like Wenxi and the others, he, as the brigade leader, would have fewer gray hairs.
Wenxi and the others went to the cafeteria to prepare lunch. Looking at the dishes that everyone brought, Wenxi smiled helplessly. Everyone was afraid of letting others have a good meal, so they were reluctant to bring any good dishes.
She cooks whatever dishes people send her; she only provides seasonings and nothing else.
While tidying up the dishes for lunch, Wenxi mentally calculated what she would be making. The dried fish she had dried earlier was ready to be used, so today she would make spicy dried fish, stir-fried cabbage, stir-fried shredded radish, and mushroom soup. She would also make a spicy snail dish, since she had already collected a lot of small snails to raise in the cafeteria.
Moreover, today is the first time the new educated youth are eating in the canteen, so she has to show off her cooking skills to prevent everyone from trying to take her cooking job.
In her previous life, she had practiced cooking for over a decade, a skill far beyond what these pampered young ladies and gentlemen could match. If it weren't for her desire for freedom, why would she cook for everyone?
Working in the fields takes up the whole day, and you really can't do anything else. You can't do nothing like Lin Yiwan. Although she has her household registration here, no one treats them like family. They are always outsiders.
It's not summer anymore, so it's not that hot. Naturally, there's no need to send everyone mint water anymore. So Wenxi will switch to sending cooled boiled water, do more work, and shut up the gossip.
At noon, as before, the elderly and children ate first, and the remaining young and middle-aged people ate second, otherwise the large canteen could not accommodate so many people from the whole village at the same time.
We had fish and snails today, and everyone was quite satisfied.
Although the newly arrived educated youth had tasted Wenxi's cooking at the gathering, those were all vegetarian dishes. Now that they had eaten meat, they couldn't help but secretly marvel at how excellent Wenxi's cooking skills were.
Even in the countryside, when resources are scarce, and there's a lack of oil and salt, they still manage to cook such delicious food. Their skills are no less than those of chefs in state-run restaurants!
Even though some of the new and old educated youth were jealous of Wenxi, her culinary skills were undeniable.
Everyone came to the cafeteria to eat, and the cafeteria was bustling with activity. Wenxi also heard a lot of news that she didn't know, such as someone introducing a potential partner to Ge Chenglan, but Ge Chenglan was unwilling to get married. If she married someone else with her child, then the house would belong to Deng Shouquan and Widow Shen.
Therefore, she must protect the house and the residential land for the sake of her children.
Therefore, Ge Chenglan's requirement is that marriage is fine, but the couple must live with her after marriage; she will not take the child to live with her husband's family.
She finally doesn't have to serve her in-laws anymore, and her children are finally grown up and she doesn't have to worry about them so much anymore. Why would she want to go to someone else's house and serve another pair of in-laws?
Don't say her demands are harsh; after all, it's voluntary, and she didn't hold a knife to a man's throat to force him to marry her. If he pretends to agree to her demands but then changes his mind or regrets it after marriage, then he shouldn't blame her for being impolite.
People who have overcome something as difficult as divorce are really not afraid of getting divorced a second time...
Ge Chenglan went on several blind dates, but didn't find one she was satisfied with.
