With the money in hand, Liu Shouyi approached Chen Youguo the next morning. After explaining the source of the money, he decided to ask Chen Youguo to find a few people from the team to repair the roof. Upon hearing that Zhu Youliang had not only been recognized by the machinery factory but had also donated fifty yuan to the school, Chen Youguo was overjoyed and immediately promised to find someone.
After the two of them left excitedly, Chen Miao said to Wang Xiu, "Mom, why don't you think about it again? I think Zhu Laoliu is going to be successful. If Big Brother becomes his brother-in-law, he can benefit from it in the future."
Wang Xiu felt a little regretful, but she still insisted, "I think he's just lucky. I'm doing this for your own good. You're attracted to Zhu Youjie, and if your brother gets together with Yourong, what's your business?" In fact, she'd heard rumors yesterday that Zhu Yourong and Yang Guangzhong from the next-door brigade were dating, and it seemed both parties were quite satisfied. If this hadn't happened, she wouldn't have been so embarrassed.
"Yes, why didn't I think of it. No, I have to spend more time with Youjie while he is on vacation at home. Mom, I'm going to find Youxian." Chen Miao said as he walked out excitedly.
Of all the young men in the village, Zhu Youjie stood out the most. Not only was he good-looking, he was also a high school student with good grades, and many unmarried girls were eyeing him.
Old Zhu's house was not far away, and the gate was not closed. Song Hehua was the only one in the yard washing clothes.
"Sister Zhu, is there a fairy at home?"
Song Hehua raised her head and saw that it was Chen Miao. "I'm here." Then she turned her head and shouted to the inner room, "There's a fairy. Chen Miao is looking for you."
Zhu Youxian came out of the house upon hearing the noise. Seeing Chen Miao, she waved at her and said, "Come in quickly. My classmate gave me a string of crystal beads. He said he bought them in Haishi. Come and take a look."
Chen Miao followed her into the house and saw a paper box on the table. The box was covered with layers of yellow cloth and a string of crystal beads was placed on it. It looked very beautiful.
"Youxian, your classmate is really rich." Chen Miao leaned over to take another look.
Zhu Youxian was feeling quite proud, but he said calmly, "It's not that bad. It was just my birthday and his relative was on a business trip, so he brought it back."
Chen Miao couldn't bear to take his eyes off the beads. "This must be quite a lot of money, right?"
"It's okay, only three dollars. We think this thing is rare, and we heard that it is often seen in Haishi." Zhu Youxian said lightly.
"What? Three dollars, that's nearly half a month's salary. Youxian, who is this classmate of yours? He actually gave you such a valuable thing. Could he be the person you're secretly dating?" Chen Miao widened his eyes.
"Keep your voice down. What did you say? We just have a better relationship than other classmates." Zhu Youxian said with a slightly red face.
"No, Youxian, you have to seize such a good partner. If you really don't have that intention, why not introduce him to me? Look how generous he is." Chen Miao took the crystal bracelet out of the box and put it on her wrist. She was so jealous that she wished that classmate of Zhu Youxian was her partner.
Zhu Youxian looked at her with some disdain and took the bracelet off her hand. "I have never worn this bracelet before."
Chen Miaomiao said awkwardly, "Youxian, don't mind it, it's just that this bracelet is so beautiful."
Zhu Youxian carefully put the bracelet away, then sat down and asked, "You haven't told me why you came to see me yet?"
"It's nothing. I just heard that your sixth brother donated fifty yuan to the school. I wanted to ask you if you knew about this?" Chen Miao said as he glanced at the bracelet that Zhu Youxian had put away. How nice it would be if it was hers.
Zhu Youxian stood up in shock, "What? Fifty yuan, is he crazy? His family needs help from my parents for food, why doesn't he respect my parents when he has money?" After the holiday, she took extra classes for a while and only came back yesterday afternoon. No one told her about this.
"You don't know? I thought you knew. I was even thinking of asking you how much money your sixth brother got as a reward from the machinery factory. No wonder your sixth brother and your family were eating meat a few days ago. The whole village could smell the aroma. It's obvious there was quite a bit of money."
"No, I have to ask my sister-in-law." Zhu Youxian said and was about to walk out.
Chen Miao wanted to ask if Zhu Youjie was home, after all, he hadn't seen anyone in the yard. Seeing this, he stood up and followed him out. When he went out, he didn't see Song Hehua, but Zhu Youjie was standing in the yard.
When Zhu Youxian saw him, he immediately asked, "Seventh Brother, you may not know yet, but Sixth Brother donated fifty yuan to the primary school in the community."
Chen Miao stepped forward shyly, "Brother Youjie, are you guys on vacation?"
"Well, come and play with Youxian."
"Seventh Brother, did you hear what I said?"
"I heard it, this is good news. The school needs some renovations." Zhu Youjie had just heard about this outside. He didn't have money, otherwise he would have donated to the school. Firstly, he studied there, and secondly, it would have improved its reputation. But now it's not bad. Although the money wasn't donated by him, he has also benefited from it. Didn't you see that on the street, everyone came to talk to him, and their words were all about his old Zhu family not forgetting their roots.
Zhu Youxian was almost furious. "No, building a school has nothing to do with him. He has the money..."
Zhu Youjie was afraid that she would say something nice, so he quickly said, "Shut up. It's not your turn to comment on how Sixth Brother behaves."
"I... hum..." Zhu You walked towards his room with a fairy-like air.
"Is there a fairy?" Chen Miao looked at Zhu Youjie somewhat embarrassedly.
Zhu Youjie smiled at her and said, "It's okay. Youxian is just like that. She'll be fine after a while."
Chen Miao felt that Zhu Youxian's departure was a good thing, as she could now have a private conversation with Zhu Youjie. So, she said somewhat coyly, "Brother Youjie, are you tired of going to school? I really envy you guys. If only I had studied hard, I could have gotten into high school."
"Not bad. It's never too late to study. Although you are not in school now, you can still borrow some textbooks to study by yourself. It's always good to learn more." Zhu Youjie was a little impatient in his heart, but he still said it gently on his face.
"I heard you'll be at home for the next month. If there's anything I don't understand, can I ask you? I hope it won't bother you," Chen Miao said, holding her face in her hands. It simply made her face look smaller.
Zhu Youjie looked at the long, yellow face approaching him, and tried hard to calm himself down, so that his expression did not collapse.
"Of course, if I'm not here, you can also ask Youxian. Do you have anything else to do? If not, I'll go back to my room to study." Zhu Youjie couldn't help but say. He could see Chen Miao's thoughts, but he endured it because she was the captain's daughter.
"No, no. Brother Youjie, please go into the house and study. I'll go back first." Chen Miao said hurriedly.
Zhu Youjie waited for her to leave before heading back to his room. Halfway there, he was stopped by Zhu Youxian, "Seventh Brother, do you really have no ideas?"
"What should I think? Zhu Youxian, even if Sixth Brother donated all his money, let alone fifty, it wouldn't matter to us. In the Zhu family, we're the ones who really eat the rice." Zhu Youjie said, and without waiting for her to answer, he went back to his room. He had long realized that this girl was not only selfish but also stupid.
