When Jiang Mei saw Jiang Jie suddenly appear in front of her, she was shocked as if she had seen a ghost. The pie in her hand fell to the ground and she didn't have time to pick it up.
“Why are you here?!”
Yao Qiyue saw Jiang Ye running back desperately, and Wei Hong and Aunt Li also came over here.
She subconsciously protected Jiang Mei, who was shouting at the top of her lungs.
Jiang Jie saw Jiang Mei and Jiang Ye wiping away tears: "Brother, sister, you made it so hard for Mom and I to find you!"
"You two are so cruel. You would rather go to the countryside than sever ties with your family."
"Our dad was arrested because of you. He was sentenced to three years in prison. It will be hard to find a job after three years. And you don't even know to go back and see him."
The more Jiang Jie spoke, the more tears he shed. Li Hong and others who had just arrived frowned when they saw Jiang Jie's appearance.
Jiang Jie didn't know that Yao Qiuyue and his wife were very popular in Yanjiang Village.
Qian Guixiang and Zhao Cuixia, mother and daughter, followed Yao Qiyue's lead.
"Kid, what are you talking about? What does your father's arrest have to do with the people of Yanjiang Village?"
"Are you here to cause trouble on purpose?"
Jiang Jie didn't expect that the first thing the other person said was to question him.
He had thought of these words before coming here, in order to ruin Jiang Ye and Jiang Mei's reputation.
He just looked down on Jiang Mei for living a better life than him.
Jiang Ye had no way out. Jiang Ye had been admitted to university a long time ago, and he had not yet come to his senses. He could not change what had happened in the past.
But he couldn't let Jiang Ye and Jiang Mei have an easy time in the future.
"Why am I here...to...seek trouble?"
"I'm here to take my sister home."
Jiang Mei didn't buy Jiang Jie's tricks at all. She asked coldly, "What's the matter?"
"Put away that crying face of yours. I haven't seen you for a year and I don't know who you learned this from. Do you think I'll soften my heart if you cry a few times?"
Jiang Jie's face turned pale. He didn't expect that Jiang Mei's way of speaking and doing things had changed.
He thought that if he was softer and showed weakness, he would get what he wanted.
Ji Ping walked slowly with his hands behind his back to where the crowd was gathered. He looked very impressive and completely different from the old man who was collecting grain at the village entrance.
"What are you all doing here? Qiushou has to race against time to complete the task assigned to us by the organization."
"Yao Qiyue, I praised you earlier for being a hardworking and diligent comrade!"
"And what about this young comrade? Not only did he delay our village's autumn harvest, but he also beat up a village leader in the street. What's going on?"
These three sentences made everyone's face change.
Yao Qiyue looked at Jiang Jie and felt that he had shit in his brain. How dare he go into the village alone and beat up the team leader?
Even if the captain is an old man over fifty years old, Jiang Jie is only thirteen or fourteen years old, still a half-grown boy.
When Jiang Jie knew Ji Ping's identity, his expression became even uglier.
He handed over his ID and letter of introduction: "I am really Jiang Ye and Jiang Mei's younger brother."
"I came to see them for something."
"I was wrong to throw dirt at you just now. I'm sorry!"
Jiang Jie gritted his teeth and bowed to Ji Ping to apologize.
Ji Ping glanced down at the letter of introduction in Jiang Jie's hand and, without letting him get up, turned and left: "Let's go. If you have anything to say, go to the village committee."
When he arrived at the village committee, Ji Ping took out the cigarettes Yao Qiuyue had given him and played with them casually in his hand.
"Just tell me what you have to say!"
"This time has been enough for me to see what kind of person you are. You don't have to hide it from us anymore."
Jiang Jie has become much thicker-skinned, and he can pretend not to hear what was said.
"I'm here to take my sister home."
Ji Ping tapped the cigarette in his hand nonchalantly: "Oh, we are rushing to harvest now. Is there something going on at home?"
Jiang Jie gritted his teeth and nodded, disliking Ji Ping's nagging: "Yes, there's something important at home. My sister has to come home with me."
Ji Ping refused: "Oh, that won't work."
"So many educated youth in the village told me they wanted to go home during the autumn harvest. How can I carry out my future work?"
"It's difficult for me to deal with you unless you give me a reasonable reason."
Jiang Jie suppressed his temper and said, "My mother is seriously ill."
Ji Ping nodded, and then asked the three people behind him to face Jiang Jie.
Before leaving, he reminded Yao Qiyue: "If you have anything to say, please talk to me. If you encounter any difficulties, just shout."
This is Yanjiang Village, his territory!
After Captain Ji Ping gently closed the door, Jiang Jie finally revealed his true face.
"Are you two still my brothers and sisters? What happened just now? You didn't even say a word to help me and just watched me get bullied!"
Jiang Mei pulled out a stool for Yao Qiyue and asked her to sit down, then she looked at Jiang Jie coldly.
"Tell me, what's the matter that you want me to go home for?"
Jiang Jie was still immersed in anger: "You just don't treat me as a brother. You two are cold-blooded and heartless people."
"I really wish we weren't brothers and sisters!"
Jiang Jie wanted to take action directly, but due to his low fighting power, he could not defeat the three people in the room, so he could only roar helplessly.
He was just thinking about cursing when he suddenly smelled a fragrance.
Yao Qiyue took out an oil-paper bag from somewhere and handed it to Jiang Ye.
Jiang Mei and Yao Qiyue each opened an oil-paper package, revealing a few bites of pie inside.
The three of them watched Jiang Jie eat with gusto.
Jiang Jie was so angry that he almost lost his mind. The three of them actually had the leisure to eat.
Jiang Ye took out an oil-paper bag and handed it to Jiang Jie politely: "Would you like to eat it?"
Without waiting for Jiang Jie to reply, he quickly took the pie back.
"You shouldn't need our food in South City, so forget it."
Jiang Jie's outstretched hand froze in mid-air.
He found that Jiang Ye had also become different from before. Jiang Ye would not treat him like this before.
When he was still a little fool, Jiang Ye would bring him any delicious food he had.
It's just a piece of pie, but Jiang Ye is so stingy.
Jiang Jie found it unbelievable!
Jiang Mei finished the cake in her hand and said, "My brother and I have already treated you. If you have nothing else to do, go back. I will not go back to South City with you."
"Don't tell me what's going on. I don't want to know..."
Jiang Jie looked at Jiang Mei and found it difficult to describe his current mood.
Thinking of the purpose of his visit, he had to say stiffly: "Go back and pack your things and come home with me. We will take the train this afternoon and will not arrive in South City until the day after tomorrow."
Jiang Ye asked impatiently: "Xiaomei, why should I go home with you?"
"Don't tell me that mom is sick. If our mom was sick, why did you only let Jiang Mei go back?"
"Your sister-in-law and I are still here!"
