Du Jiaming gave her twenty yuan so that she could buy some food to improve her diet. She spent more than three yuan on meat and snacks. She planned to use the remaining money to buy a piece of cloth to make new clothes, and also to buy a box of vanishing cream. Her face was blown like an old lady at the construction site, and she didn't want to have such a face.
However, the supply and marketing cooperative in the commune only had the cheapest glycerin and no snow cake at all, and she didn't have time to go to the county town.
Du Jiaming's expression remained unchanged. He stretched out a hand in front of her and said, "Give me whatever you have left."
Qiao Wenwan looked at him and bit her lips in grievance.
When he was seriously ill, she lent him money for medical treatment and food. Now that he has money, he only gave her twenty yuan and asked to go back immediately.
Du Jiaming took another step forward. "Are you going to take it out yourself or wait for someone to search your pockets? Qiao Wenwan, you owe Xiaowan money and you should pay her back. The Public Security Bureau has already made a decision on the package, or do you want to wait for the police to come and claim it?"
The last sentence completely broke down Qiao Wenwan's psychological defenses. She took out money from her pocket and stuffed it into Du Jiaming's hand, then ran away crying.
Du Jiaming ignored her and counted the money. "Here is a total of 60 yuan. I will give the remaining money to the branch secretary on time and pay it back within two months."
"Two months is too long. Pay it off within one month," Jiang Wanwan said.
Du Jiaming was silent for a moment, glanced at Jiang Jianguo and nodded, "Okay, I will hand the money over to the branch secretary within a month."
The branch secretary was called in to do an appraisal. Jiang Wanwan knew that Du Jiaming couldn't come up with so much money at once, but she was surprised that he could come up with 60 yuan.
"Brother, let's go back." It was almost noon, and I was thinking about making something delicious for my brother.
Jiang Wanwan discovered that her elder brother was a foodie, so she coaxed him into submission first so that she could get through the difficult times when Lu Xiao came back.
Jiang Jianguo patted his little sister's shoulder and said, "Wait for me for a moment."
After saying that, he took a few steps forward and punched Du Jiaming in the stomach. Du Jiaming bent over in pain, and the second punch hit him on the chin. Before he fell, Jiang Jianguo grabbed his collar and hit him in the stomach for the third time.
Everyone was shocked by this sudden change, but no one dared to stop it, they just screamed in surprise.
Fortunately, after three punches, Jiang Jianguo stopped, gently pushed the man to the ground, and clapped his hands.
"Do you know why I hit you? Du Jiaming, remember, from now on, your Du family and our Jiang family have nothing to do with each other anymore."
I remember that the Du family often took Du Jiaming to the Jiang family to play with his younger sister, saying that they wanted to visit each other more often because of the friendship between the two families.
In fact, the Du family was already in a difficult situation at that time, so they didn't care about any friendship. They just coveted the power of the Jiang family and wanted to get the Jiang family's protection.
Knowing that Xiaomei really liked Du Jiaming and that Du Jiaming took good care of Xiaomei, they turned a blind eye.
In their minds, nothing is more important than their little sister's love.
So how did this guy treat my little sister?
Qiao Wenwan lost her younger sister's package, and Du Jiaming willingly paid for her compensation. How dare he say that there was nothing between them?
Maybe even my younger sister's marriage to a man named Lu was plotted by these two people.
If he wasn't still wearing this outfit, it wouldn't be as simple as three punches.
Du Jiaming lay on the ground and watched the backs of several people leaving, his eyes dim and gloomy.
He knew very well what these three punches meant, but what he didn't expect was that Jiang Wanwan actually had the opportunity to go to college, while this opportunity should have belonged to Qiao Wenwan.
What went wrong? Everything was going wrong, deviating further and further from the dream.
He got up and went straight to the female educated youth's dormitory regardless of Liu De's kind inquiries.
Soon Qiao Wenwan was pulled out screaming, "Brother Jiaming, you hurt me, let go..."
Du Jiaming held her tightly, with a gloomy look on his face, and walked out directly.
Liu De stood in front of the two people and said, "Du Zhiqing, what are you doing? Brother Jiang Zhiqing hit you, why are you taking your anger out on a woman like Qiao Zhiqing?"
Du Jiaming pushed Liu De away and said, "You have nothing to do here, stay away."
Liu De was humiliated and retorted with his neck stiff. "How come I have nothing to do with it? As a male comrade, you actually assaulted a female comrade. We are both revolutionary comrades living in the same educated youth camp. When we see injustice, we should help. Isn't that right, Cao Zhiqing?"
Cao Jiangtao just glanced at a few people indifferently, turned around and went back to the men's dormitory.
Liu De: “…”
He looked at the other educated youth again.
Others either turned around and left, or just looked at the sky casually.
We came out to watch the fun, who wants to care about this shit?
Li Meiling pulled Liu De and waited until Du Jiaming took Qiao Wenwan out of the door before speaking.
"Liu De, are you still thinking about Qiao Wenwan? Can't you see it even now? Qiao Zhiqing only has eyes for Du Zhiqing, so how could he let go of anyone else? Besides, Du Zhiqing is really capable. He was so poor before that he had to sell food, but in the blink of an eye, he took out 60 yuan and gave Qiao Zhiqing 20 yuan pocket money without blinking an eye. Do you have such ability?"
Liu De was unconvinced, "He gave Qiao Zhiqing 20 yuan, and now he wants to return it."
"If I go back, I'll help her pay off her debt. Jiang Zhiqing's package was lost by Qiao Zhiqing. Could you help her pay it off? I heard Jiang Zhiqing's package is worth 200 yuan."
When Liu De heard about such a large sum of money, he became intimidated. "Our family is not a capitalist, where would we get so much money?"
They also thought that Du Jiaming's money was sent by his family.
"Actually, I think Jiang Zhiqing is bullying people, and Qiao Zhiqing also has good intentions. Others may not know, but everyone in our educated youth camp knows that when was Jiang Zhiqing's package not retrieved by Qiao Zhiqing? Not only is she not grateful, but just because Qiao Zhiqing accidentally lost her package this time, she reported Qiao Zhiqing to the Public Security Bureau. Not only did she have to send him to labor reform, but she also wanted to pay her 200 yuan in compensation. Look at how arrogant she was when she brought her eldest brother here just now. She was bullying Qiao Zhiqing by relying on her eldest brother being a soldier. She even bullied him to tears. In my opinion, she deserves to marry a peasant and never be able to turn her life around."
Li Meiling rolled her eyes. "But he's already going to college. Didn't you hear that?" She felt a pang of regret. "If I'd known Professor Wu was so capable, I would have gone to the bullpen to curry favor with him."
Liu De choked and continued, "As you said, what's the point of currying favor? A man won't bow down to money. Even if Jiang Zhiqing has the opportunity to go to college, what good will it do? I don't believe the Lu family will let her go to college. Let's wait and see, who knows how this will turn out."
Li Meiling is much more active than him. If the Lu family really doesn't allow Jiang Wanwan to go to college, wouldn't this university place be wasted?
