Yang Huifang showed a half-smile, and did not answer Song Shishi's words, but just raised her eyebrows and looked back.
Chen Shanhe glanced back and forth between Yang Huifang and Song Shishi before asking, "What recommendation letter?"
"Don't you know? Song Zhiqing gave the recommendation letter for admission to the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University to your wife." Yang Huifang's laughter was shrill, and she seemed like a completely different person at this moment.
Song Shishi shouted sternly: "Yang Huifang, do you know what the consequences will be if you do this now?"
"Consequences? I know." Yang Huifang raised her eyebrows and looked back, saying indifferently: "But what does that have to do with me?"
Looking at Yang Huifang's provocative and unfamiliar face, Song Shishi's heart sank.
Yang Huifang's action completely wiped out the guilt she had originally felt towards Yang Huifang.
Although Yang Huifang usually took good care of her and Xu Li, she would be the first to tell them any gossip.
But she thought she was nice to Yang Huifang.
...
...
When the family would occasionally have meat, she would think about how little food Yang Huifang received and how she had always been eating coarse grains. She felt sorry for Yang Huifang not eating well, so she would sometimes ask Xu Li to call Yang Huifang home to eat with them.
The last time she went back to Beijing, she bought a jacket for Xu Li and also bought one for Yang Huifang.
She truly regarded Yang Huifang as a friend.
She never expected that just a letter of recommendation would be enough to make Yang Huifang behave like this towards her today.
At this moment, Song Shishi's eyes were full of disappointment.
"What? Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University?" Upon hearing this, Chen Shanhe looked up and down at Song Shishi in disbelief.
But soon Chen Shanhe shook his head and denied it, "You must have lied to me. Why didn't Song Zhiqing use such a good opportunity herself, but gave it to Chen Hongying? Is she mentally ill?"
"I don't know whether she is sick or not, but I saw her give the letter to your wife with my own eyes. Believe it or not, it's up to you."
Yang Huifang crossed her arms over her chest and pulled her lips into a sarcastic smile.
"Oh my god, Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University? I heard that the number of places is very limited now. Since Song Zhiqing has such a good opportunity, why doesn't he go?"
"Could it be that Shanhe's wife has something on her, so..."
"Now that she's gone to college, Shanhe's wife will definitely not come back."
"She doesn't even want a home anymore?"
"Don't you know? Yesterday, Shanhe's father got drunk in the middle of the day, and he actually ran into Shanhe's wife's room while she was taking a nap..."
"This is too shameless. No wonder Shanhe's wife ran away."
The villagers who were watching made wild guesses, but most of them were sighing at Song Shishi's generosity.
After all, no matter who it is, no one would easily give up such a good opportunity to others.
Song Shishi knew that no matter what she said now, it would be useless. The best way to deal with it was to say nothing and make fewer mistakes.
Chen Shanhe was silent for two seconds, said "I'll go find the captain", then turned around and ran away.
Seeing Chen Shanhe leave, but Yang Huifang was still standing there, Song Shishi looked at Yang Huifang with a cold look in her eyes, without the slightest warmth, "What good will it do you if you do this?"
"So what if there is no benefit? I just want you to see, even if you give Shen Hongying a letter of recommendation, what will happen? As long as Chen Shanhe knows about this, Shen Hongying will never get what she wants."
"Sister Huifang, how could you do this? My sister said last time..." Xu Li came out at some point and when she heard Yang Huifang say this, she opened the gate and spoke loudly.
Song Shishi stopped him sternly: "Lili! Stop talking."
She originally thought that Yang Huifang was a fellow traveler like them. She wanted Xu Li's life to get better and better, and the same went for Yang Huifang.
But she hadn't figured out how to help Yang Huifang, so she didn't mention it.
But this time when she went to Beijing, she suddenly realized that being a translator was also a very good choice.
Even if I can't leave Huai Qing by relying on translation, at least I can increase my income, right?
When she went to town yesterday, she specifically asked Director Zhao about this matter.
But after she came back, there were too many things to do and she didn't have time to tell Yang Huifang.
This delay, coupled with misunderstanding, led to this situation.
"What about me? I treat you sincerely, but how do you treat me? I usually tell you everything. Whenever you have troubles, I always rush to help you. But you would rather help an outsider than give me such a good opportunity. Why should I help you?"
Yang Huifang didn't think that she had done anything wrong. She felt very wronged and that it was Song Shishi and the others who had wronged her first.
Since you have given your heart to the wrong person, just take it back. It's no big deal.
"Sister Huifang, you really misunderstood my sister." Xu Li frowned, but didn't know how to explain.
Song Shishi grabbed Xu Li's arm.
She looked at Yang Huifang and said, "Think about whether I am sincere to you. As for the quota for the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University, it was originally for Shen Hongying, so there is no question of whether to give it up or not. Believe it or not. As for your previous help to us, I will naturally repay you in other ways, but you should also be clear that from today on, our friendship will end here."
After saying that, Song Shishi pulled Xu Li back a step, then closed the gate, turned around and put the kitchen knife in her hand back into the kitchen.
Seeing that she was unhappy, Xu Li stepped forward to persuade her: "Sister, there are only misunderstandings between you and Sister Huifang. Just talk it out. Is it necessary to say such harsh words to her?"
"Lili, people are really different from each other." Song Shishi shook her head. "Let me ask you, when you found out yesterday that I gave Shen Hongying a recommendation letter, were you angry? Would you want to take revenge on me out of jealousy or resignation?"
Xu Li's eyes widened and she immediately retorted, "How is that possible? I would never do anything to hurt you."
"I was just a little shocked at the time, but you must have your reasons for doing this. I am satisfied as long as I am with you. How could I retaliate against you for such a small matter?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Xu Li suddenly realized what Song Shishi wanted to express.
"So... you mean..."
Song Shishi nodded, "Between friends, there should at least be basic trust.
If you don't understand, just ask directly. Given the relationship between us, I can't possibly hide it from you.
I thought I was pretty good to her, but I didn’t expect…”
Song Shishi paused and sighed, "I really hate this kind of behavior of stabbing friends in the back without any principles just for the sake of profit."
"Sister, I understand what you mean, but...but if Sister Huifang hadn't informed you about Shitou's injury last time and then asked Captain Chen and the others to come to help, who knows what the consequences would have been."
