Jiang Jie stood up with frustration and staggered to Jiang Mei's side. He stubbornly grabbed Jiang Mei's hand and tried to leave the encirclement of Yanjiang Village.
Jiang Ye grabbed Jiang Jie's wrist and said, "I told you, you'd better leave quietly and don't disturb Xiaomei's life anymore."
Jiang Jie couldn't help but sneer: "Jiang Ye, I know you look down on me, and Wu Meiyue looks down on me too, but I still live a carefree life in South City."
"As long as I can bring Jiang Mei back, my life will get better and better. It doesn't matter whether I have parents or not."
Jiang Jie looked obviously stunned. The villagers of Yanjiang Village were frightened by his appearance and stepped back unconsciously.
Damao stood in front of Jiang Jie with a sickle in her hand. She gritted her teeth and shouted, "Don't go any further. If you do, I will be rude to you."
Jiang Mei and Jiang Jie grew up together. She knew from childhood that Wu Meiyue favored Jiang Jie. She felt that if she had not been careless and fell when giving birth to Jiang Jie, causing Jiang Jie to be born prematurely at more than seven months, Jiang Jie would not be so stupid.
Jiang Mei has been sensible since she was a child. When Jiang's father and mother are not at home, she takes care of Jiang Jie.
Then, when did it start to change?
Jiang Mei felt a little dazed for a moment. She and Jiang Jie hadn't seen each other for more than a year. Since he recovered, their family has undergone tremendous changes.
"Jiang Jie, I won't go back with you. I don't want to get married yet."
Jiang Mei broke free from Jiang Jie's hand. She could have broken free from Jiang Jie's hand a long time ago, but she just wanted to feel her brother's warmth again.
"Jiang Jie, study hard when you go back. I'll send you money after the autumn harvest when I earn work points and share the money with you for your studies."
Jiang Jie doesn't appreciate Jiang Mei's kindness at all. Jiang Wentao and Wu Meiyue don't care about him now. How can she, a little girl who farms in the countryside, take care of him?
"Jiang Mei, you're really talking without any hesitation. How much money can you earn in a year? Besides, you're in such a poor and remote place."
Jiang Jie looked at Jiang Ye who was silent: "Jiang Mei, if you really want to help me, then come back to South City with me."
Yao Qiyue looked at Jiang Jie's aggressive look and did not speak rashly. To put it bluntly, the hatred between her and Jiang Jie was not as great as that between her and Lin Wanru. She felt that if she did not add insult to injury, Jiang Jie would kill himself given his personality.
As for Jiang Mei's statement of giving the money to Jiang Jie, Yao Qiyue wanted to sigh a little, but that was the money Jiang Mei earned through her own labor, so she wouldn't care.
Jiang Ye looked at Jiang Jie with cold eyes, but there was also a hint of imperceptible disappointment in his eyes when he looked at Jiang Mei.
He and July brought Jiang Mei out because they didn't want her to have any dealings with other people in the Jiang family. What was she thinking? She was still thinking about giving Jiang Jie money continuously?
He closed his eyes tightly, took a deep breath to calm himself, and when he felt that he would not say anything unpleasant, he slowly opened his eyes and looked at Jiang Mei and Jiang Jie.
"Jiang Jie, I think that after you have done so many things to hurt our family, the little kinship we had is gone."
"Don't expect to gain anything from us."
After saying that, Jiang Ye looked at Jiang Mei and said, "When I took you away from Nancheng, the Jiang family wanted to marry you off to a divorced man. It was you who begged me to take you away."
"Are you saying these things now because you want to keep in touch with Jiang Jie and let him sell you out again?"
Jiang Mei didn't expect Jiang Ye's words to be so harsh, and her eyes were filled with mist in disobedience.
Yao Qiyue tugged at Jiang Ye's sleeve and whispered, "Jiang Jie is only thirteen, and he won't be able to go back to work. Jiang Mei's choice is not wrong."
Wei Hong and others who were nearby only then began to pay attention to Jiang Jie's age. Wei Hong couldn't help but sigh and said, "He's so young, but he has such a dark heart."
Jiang Ye didn't agree to Jiang Mei's conditions out of softness, but said in a cold voice, "Wu Meiyue has been remarried for a long time. The fact that he can take a train to such a far place with a letter of introduction proves that he is not short of money in Nancheng."
Jiang Jie lowered his head and smiled bitterly: "Jiang Ye, you are so selfish."
"Your tuition was paid for by the Jiang family. Now that you are able to earn money to repay the Jiang family, your parents have been in trouble, so you can just ignore me. You are really cruel."
Jiang Mei was shocked when she heard Jiang Jie talking to Jiang Ye about money. She remembered that her family had stopped paying for Jiang Ye's tuition and living expenses since he started junior high school.
Jiang Jie was still young at the time and had no idea that Jiang Ye used to do a lot of miscellaneous work. Sometimes he would help his classmates with their homework to earn a few cents, and other times he would chop wood, which he could only sell for a dime after several days of work. He was familiar with the streets and alleys of South City better than anyone else, and he would study anything that could make money.
Fortunately, the tuition fees were not high at that time, so Jiang Ye was able to save money to go to school. His grades were among the best in the whole South City, and his teachers also helped him with his overdue tuition fees. This is how he was able to get into university.
Jiang Ye ignored Jiang Jie's hysteria and did not explain in detail that his family did not contribute much money to his studies.
"Then you will continue to rely on your own abilities to survive in South City. I will not help you."
"Oh, Jiang Mei, I can ignore it."
Jiang Ye said this and took Yao Qiyue to say hello to Ji Ping before leaving.
Jiang Mei didn't have much money on her now. What she had was the pocket money Yao Qiyue gave her. She couldn't bear it and gave it all to Jiang Jie: "Hurry up and leave before it gets dark. I won't go back with you. You can't beat me now."
Jiang Jie was angered by Jiang Mei's last words. He was originally a little touched when he held the five cents and ten cents in his hand, but now he felt nothing.
He felt that both Jiang Mei and Jiang Ye were equally annoying.
When everyone saw that Yao Qiyue had left, they also dispersed. It was the busy farming season now, and it was already a great honor for them to spend so much time supporting Yao Qiyue and others.
As soon as Yao Qiyue left, everyone rushed back to the fields to work.
Ji Ping is old now, and he doesn't have to work in the fields as hard as before during the autumn harvest. He has time to spend with Jiang Jie.
Jiang Jie looked at Ji Ping, who was walking around him with his hands behind his back. He glared at him hatefully and then limped towards the village entrance.
There is ample time.
It’s unknown how long Jiang Ye will stay in this remote place. When he grows up, he must make Jiang Ye and Yao Qiyue look good.
When he was far away, he felt severe pain all over his body. With a rage, Jiang Jie left Yanjiang Village abruptly.
