Chapter 107 Hard to Persuade
Jiang Ning, who was leaning against the earthen slope, never expected to witness all this. This week, Anze gained another reputation in her eyes.
white collar guy from a working-class background.
Even if someone uses skincare products every day, the skincare products Shen Mo sent here would be enough for Shen Qianqian or the Shen family to use for several years. However, when she saw Shen Qianqian, the girl's skin had become dry and sallow due to the damage she had suffered, and it didn't look like skin that had ever used skincare products.
It turns out that they were all given to the educated youth to curry favor with them and to men to ask for favors.
Ginger and lemon juice has a lot of scum and no flavor.
The fact that Shen's younger sister is a naive and innocent girl really makes her feel a little helpless.
Zhou Anze had other matters to attend to and left first.
When Shen Qianqian patted her trouser legs and stood up, she was startled to see Jiang Ning standing behind her.
"Second, second sister-in-law."
Jiang Ning crossed her arms and looked at her, a faint smile playing on her lips.
For some reason, Shen Qianqian felt inexplicably afraid of Jiang Ning.
Perhaps they witnessed how skilled Jiang Ning was at handling silver needles.
And what about the snow cream and Pechoin she gave Zhou Anze? I hope her second sister-in-law didn't see it.
She awkwardly greeted Jiang Ning and was about to leave when she heard Jiang Ning say, "Your brother cares about you as his sister, and you're just going to waste his feelings like this?"
Shen Qianqian's breath hitched; she had indeed been seen.
As long as it's related to Zhou Anze, Shen Qianqian can muster up the courage to argue with people, "Second sister-in-law, Brother Anze is my boyfriend. Giving him things can help him, and helping him is helping myself."
Jiang Ning said, "Boyfriend? Only the two of you acknowledge that you're his boyfriend. Has he acknowledged you to anyone else?"
As expected, Shen Qianqian's face turned pale.
"Of course people outside don't know! I can't let others know that I'm dating Anze, it will affect him."
Jiang Ning was surprised. How could the Shen family produce such a top-notch love-obsessed person?
No, Shen Mo seems to be quite love-struck as well. She had only been in the family compound for a short time when that man gave her his savings book, not afraid that she would spend it all.
"You're secretly pleased to be with Zhou Anze, aren't you? You're secretly pleased that once Zhou Anze successfully gets a job offer to return to the city, you can leave this village with him," Jiang Ning said bluntly.
Shen Qianqian did indeed think that way, but she didn't expect Jiang Ning to see through her thoughts, and she felt extremely embarrassed for a moment.
But her thoughts were selfish; she only thought of herself and not her family.
She was sent to the village with her parents for five years, and she really couldn't bear the sudden change from being the apple of her family's eye to being a despised intellectual by everyone.
This change was hard for her to accept. After enduring it with her parents for a year, she couldn't take it anymore and wanted to jump into the river to end her life.
At that moment, Zhou Anze happened to be by the river, and he jumped in to save her.
Shen Qianqian regretted it the moment she jumped in and was submerged. She still had her parents and two brothers who loved her, and jumping into the river was also very painful.
Anze saved her, even scolding her, and then comforted her.
From that moment on, Shen Qianqian fell in love with him.
Having her thoughts exposed, Shen Qianqian stopped hiding them and said, "Brother Anze said that once he gets the job quota to return to the city, he will come to our house to propose marriage. Even if I marry Brother Anze, I will not abandon my parents."
“But I don’t think he’ll come to propose,” Jiang Ning said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Shen Qianqian reacted like a cat with its fur standing on end. "No, don't talk nonsense. Back then, when Brother Anze saved me from the river, I knew I would marry no one but him. Brother Anze also promised to marry me."
Jiang Ning was somewhat surprised that Zhou Anze had saved Shen Qianqian.
She didn't know what was going on.
Jiang Ning wanted to say something more, but Shen Qianqian said, "Second sister-in-law, this is my business. Don't talk about Brother Anze anymore. Besides, I haven't gotten an explanation for Brother Anze's injury because of you."
Jiang Ning was speechless again.
This is the first time I've ever witnessed a truly despicable person who defies all reason.
Jiang Ningqing stared at Shen Qianqian with her sharp eyes, and said with a hint of something unspeakable, "I wanted to treat him, but he refused. How can you blame me for that?"
Shen Qianqian then glanced at Jiang Ning, assuming that Jiang Ning was deliberately refusing to treat Zhou Anze.
“This matter is not my fault. I said I would treat him, but he refused. Later, when we returned to the educated youth settlement, the rumor that he was injured because of me spread. Zhou Anze knew this very well. But when those educated youths were criticizing you, me, and the Shen family, did Zhou Anze ever say a good word for you?”
"Shen Qianqian, be careful. If Zhou Anze truly likes you, he wouldn't just offer a few lukewarm words of comfort when you're wronged. Be careful that someone who's only with you for personal gain doesn't get betrayed one day."
After saying that, Jiang Ning turned and left.
Shen Qianqian was very insecure. In fact, she often thought that what the educated youth who criticized her said was true. So when Zhou Anze said that they should not tell others about their relationship, she agreed.
She was afraid that she would implicate Zhou Anze.
But if two people like each other, shouldn't they share joys and sorrows?
When Zhou Anze agreed to be with her, she was both happy and apprehensive. She was a bad element who had been sent to the countryside, and many people had criticized her. She also felt that she was not good enough for Zhou Anze.
Jiang Ning's words swirled in her mind like a curse. She began to think about how Zhou Anze had treated her. When others were around, everyone knew how good he was, and he gained a good reputation. But behind the scenes, she had also given Zhou Anze a lot of favors, which no one knew.
Jiang Ning wasn't sure if her words would have any effect.
After a period of calm, she examined both of Shen's parents. Five years of hard work had taken a toll on Shen's mother's health, while Shen's father was in good health.
This is probably related to the fact that Shen's father was a soldier.
Shen Mo had told her on the train what his family did before they were sent down to the countryside. His father had once been a commander. If even someone with his status was forced to go down to the countryside, one can imagine how chaotic things were back then.
Fortunately, the darkest period has passed, and dawn has broken.
Shen Mo told her not to mention that the Shen family would be able to leave the village soon.
Jiang Ning treated Shen's mother for a month, and Shen's mother's complexion visibly improved.
Not only did Shen's mother's complexion improve, but the entire Shen family was also transformed because of Jiang Ning.
That day, state-owned machinery factories and textile factories from the city came to the village to recruit workers.
