It was clearly Qiao Zhiqing who lost the package, but Du Zhiqing helped to pay back the money. I would never believe that these two people have nothing to do with each other.
It’s not easy to make money these days, it’s hard to even have enough to eat. No one’s money comes from the wind.
One also has to wonder if Jiang Zhiqing can't stand seeing them doing well. If that were them, they would be slapped in the face.
Under the teasing gazes of others, Du Jiaming took the money from Qiao Wenwan's hand and gave it to Jiang Wanwan together with his own money without saying a word.
Jiang Wanwan counted the money in front of him, a total of 50 yuan. "I believe in Du Zhiqing's ability. He will definitely pay the money back within the stipulated time."
Du Jiaming was too embarrassed to stay any longer. He didn't understand why Qiao Wenwan had no memory at all. It was obviously not like this in her previous life.
Qiao Wenwan was unwilling to leave. She looked at Jiang Wanwan angrily, unable to understand why she was so lucky.
In my previous life, everything went smoothly. I was admitted to university, had a successful career, and had a harmonious family.
In this life, she has snatched Du Jiaming away from her and let Jiang Wanwan marry a country bumpkin, but her life is still comfortable.
Looking at her fair and delicate little face, and then thinking about my own rough skin, the more I thought about it, the more unwilling I became.
I saw Li Meiling walking over not far away.
Li Meiling had just watched the excitement for a while and was counting the money after paying the bill. When she saw Qiao Wenwan coming over, she quickly put the money in her pocket and looked at her vigilantly.
Seeing her reaction, Qiao Wenwan felt embarrassed and annoyed. "Don't worry about it. I won't borrow money from you. I don't even care about the little money you have."
"Oh, you're not even looking down on this little bit of money from me. Who was it that just now refused to return eight yuan to Jiang Zhiqing? Oh, that's right. No one in the Zhiqing Point can compare to Du Zhiqing. His ancestors were wealthy, and now that they've been rehabilitated, they're really wealthy. Qiao Zhiqing is trying to curry favor with Du Zhiqing, so naturally he won't look down on this little bit of money from me."
Du Jiaming frequently took out money, but in order to avoid everyone noticing anything, he could only say that it was sent by his family.
Qiao Wenwan didn't want to waste time arguing with her, so she said bluntly, "I see you've been getting pretty close to Secretary Wang's third son lately. What's going on? Are you really thinking of settling down in the countryside and marrying a farmer?"
Li Meiling glanced around warily, frowning when she saw no one was paying attention. "Who I'm close to is none of your business. You should mind your own business if you have time. You keep saying you're Jiang Zhiqing's good friend, and now you're flirting with Du Zhiqing. Aren't you embarrassed to show off?"
Ever since Du Jiaming became rich again, Qiao Wenwan has often used this incident to ridicule Li Meiling, causing her to lose popularity among those who know the situation.
Li Meiling almost hated Qiao Wenwan to death.
Qiao Wenwan's face flushed red. "Don't be so harsh. Brother Jiaming and Jiang Wanwan didn't have anything to do with each other. They grew up together, but they were never together. Besides, Jiang Wanwan is already married. Does that mean Brother Jiaming is going to stay with her forever and never get married?"
"Admit it, right? Didn't you keep saying that you were helping Jiang Zhiqing take care of Du Zhiqing? Now you're thinking about becoming someone's wife? You're taking care of people right down to the bed?"
Qiao Wenwan didn't want to dwell on this topic with her. "I heard that Professor Wu from the cowshed gave Jiang Wanwan a bunch of books when he left the Red Star Brigade. Professor Wu and his men have been rehabilitated, and the college entrance examination might be reinstated soon. If I were you, I wouldn't marry a peasant from the countryside. The most important thing right now is to borrow books from Jiang Wanwan and study hard so that you can get into university after the college entrance examination is reinstated. That way, you can return to the city smoothly. No matter how good life is in the countryside, it's not as good as in the city. I'm doing this for your own good."
So what if Jiang Wanwan has all those books? Find a few more people to borrow her books, and let them all borrow and see how she reviews.
If she doesn't lend it, it will inevitably affect her relationship with these people. No matter what the result is, she is willing to see it.
Li Meiling didn't take his words to heart at all. Instead, she felt that he had ulterior motives and sighed, "Qiao Wenwan, are you okay? After all this talk, why don't you go study for the college entrance examination? You're reinstating the college entrance examination? Are you trying to make me laugh to death? The college entrance examination has been suspended for how many years, and you just want to reinstate it? Don't think I don't know. You're just afraid that I'll take the elementary school teacher's position. I won't fall for your tricks."
Who among the educated youths now isn't eyeing the opportunity to become a primary school teacher? They're all trying their best, each showcasing their unique talents.
As far as she knew, even Du Jiaming was trying to find a solution.
She has finally seen the light and will not be provoked by people like Qiao Wenwan.
Qiao Wenwan's eyes almost popped out of her head. Is this person crazy? Is she satisfied with just being an elementary school teacher?
"Everything I told you is true. How can returning to the city be more important than being an elementary school teacher? What do you want to do after getting into university? If we hadn't lived together for so many years, I wouldn't have told you such good news."
"Thank you so much for telling me that. You should get into a university first and show me," Li Meiling said while laughing as if it was some huge joke.
Qiao Wenwan stomped her feet in anger. He was really blind. It would be fine if he didn't believe her, but she would regret it when the college entrance examination was resumed.
No matter how angry Qiao Wenwan was, Li Meiling saw Wang Dong and walked over.
Wang Dong had already received the money and was waiting for Li Meiling here. He knew that Li Meiling would definitely come to see him.
When he saw the woman coming, he started laughing from a distance.
Although Li Meiling was not the most beautiful among the educated youth, she was different from the women in the countryside.
His mother has agreed to their relationship, and he will have a wife who is an educated youth in the future.
Thinking about Lu Xiao, he seemed like a different person since marrying Jiang Zhiqing. Wang Dong was also full of expectations for his future.
Li Meiling felt a little disgusted when she saw his silly look, but she didn't show it on her face.
When he came up to him, he turned in a direction and walked towards a place with fewer people. Wang Dong immediately followed him.
They walked one person's length apart, one in front and one behind, and only dared to talk to her when they were in a place with fewer people.
"Did you eat all the eggs I gave you yesterday? Were they delicious? If you like them, I'll cook them for you tomorrow."
Li Meiling did not answer his question, but asked, "How much did you get?"
Wang Dong was stunned by her question. After thinking for a moment, he answered truthfully, "A total of more than 120."
Wang Dong's work is average, but because he is the son of the branch secretary, the team leader and scorekeeper all give him face. Basically, as long as he works, he gets full work points. Naturally, he has earned a lot this year.
Li Meiling's eyes lit up, and she was very satisfied with the number. "Then let's go shopping in the county town tomorrow. The New Year is coming soon, and I want to buy some new clothes."
Wang Dong hesitated, "But we haven't split up yet. All the money I earn is in the public library. Besides, it's just the two of us. Wouldn't that be a problem?"
Li Meiling cursed him as a waste in her heart, and her attitude was a little aggrieved like a little woman.
"I haven't been visiting my family for your sake. Shouldn't you be with me? Didn't your mother agree that we could be together? I'm not afraid, so why should you be afraid?"
