He did all those things willingly, but in the end it was as if she had promised him something in order to take advantage of him, which made his already poor reputation at the educated youth settlement even worse.
Yang Wanqiu was so angry at the thought that she gritted her teeth, but she didn't show it at all. She sighed and said helplessly, "Forget it, I'll just pick up as much as I can. At worst, I'll burn less. As long as the house doesn't freeze, it's fine. Sigh, what can I do? I'm not lucky enough to have a capable older brother."
At this moment, Wang Wenfang was angry as soon as she heard her brother's name, so when she heard Yang Wanqiu's words, she unconsciously turned her head to look at the location where Wang Wenqi and Zhong Lingling were.
What she saw was her own brother holding Zhong Lingling's hand and talking to her, which made Zhong Lingling blush and playfully punch his shoulder.
His brother, far from being angry, grinned like a fool.
Just moments ago, her brother had been sternly lecturing her, but now he was chatting and laughing with Zhong Lingling. Wang Wenfang's mood, which had just improved, instantly soured.
He angrily threw down the branch in his hand and cursed, "You vixen, I'll get my brother to dump you sooner or later."
Wang Wenfang, who was about to continue cursing, looked up and met Yang Wanqiu's surprised gaze. She quickly smiled awkwardly and said, "So what if you have a brother? I still have to work. You treat your only sister better than an outsider. You really have forgotten your sister after you got married."
No, this guy isn't even married yet, and he only has eyes for her. My brother believes everything she says. I really don't know what kind of spell she's cast on him, making him neglect me for her sake.
If an ordinary person heard Wang Wenfang say this, they would definitely scoff at it. You should know that, not to mention that Wang Wenfang was able to be transferred from another brigade entirely because Zhong Lingling paid someone to arrange it for you.
Just say that ever since you arrived at Qingshan Brigade, everything you eat, live in, wear, and use has come from Zhong Lingling. She even serves you like a princess, taking care of your food and drink.
So this is how you talk about people behind their backs? You really have no conscience.
Yang Wanqiu naturally thought the same thing, but she had ulterior motives at the moment, so she followed Wang Wenfang's words and said, "Hey, Wenfang, don't be too angry. Men are all like that."
"My dad used to treat me so well. But after he married my stepmother, he abandoned me, his own daughter. I didn't have to go to the countryside. If my dad hadn't given the job my mom left me to my stepmother's son, I'd be working in a textile factory now."
As she spoke, Yang Wanqiu pretended to wipe away the melting snowflakes from the corner of her eye, making it seem as if she were crying because she was thinking of something sad.
After wiping her eyes, Yang Wanqiu, as if afraid that Wang Wenfang wouldn't believe her, gestured angrily to the other side and said, "Look at Zhao Qianjin over there, isn't he the same? A few days ago, he was all over me, asking me how I was doing. I thought he was a good person, and I was foolishly waiting for him to confess to me."
Who would have thought that he would change his mind in just a few days? Not only did he fall in love with someone else, but he also went around ruining my reputation. Wenfang, just look at his usual food, clothing and daily necessities, how could he possibly give me so much? But it is true that he helped me gather firewood for a few days.
So the old saying is really true: relying on yourself is better than relying on anyone else. Wenfang, think about it, if you had money of your own, would Zhong Lingling still dare to treat you like this? Just because she wants to marry into your family and become your sister-in-law, wouldn't she treat you like royalty?
Yang Wanqiu's words really struck a chord with Wang Wenfang, who was also troubled by this very matter.
Before she and her brother went to the countryside, their parents gave all their money to her brother, leaving her with only a few yuan of pocket money, which she spent when she was assigned to the Qianjin Brigade.
She is now penniless. She tried to ask her brother for money, but he always refused, saying that their parents had an accident and couldn't take care of them, so the money should be kept for emergencies.
This forced her to live a life of dependence on Zhong Lingling, which was quite unpleasant. Otherwise, she could have rented a small house like Yang Wanqiu and done whatever she wanted, getting up whenever she wanted.
Instead of what it is now, where even though she's on holiday and doesn't have to work, that annoying Zhong Lingling still wakes her up at six every morning.
They put it nicely that they were worried about her health if she didn't eat breakfast, but she didn't know that. In reality, they just wanted to appear to care about her in front of her brother.
They often talk badly about her behind her back. She doesn't know what Zhong Lingling says about her, but she feels that her brother is becoming less and less fond of her every day.
Therefore, Wang Wenfang wanted to have money in her own hands more than anyone else; otherwise, why would she have taken the risk of stealing money?
Yang Wanqiu, who was secretly watching Wang Wenfang's changing expression, saw that Wang Wenfang had taken her words to heart, so she didn't say anything more. All she needed to do now was to plant a seed in Wang Wenfang's heart.
She'll just wait for the right moment to add fuel to the fire, and then Wang Wenfang will be just like Chen Shuning was back then, obediently being used by her. Who knows, before using her to get rid of Shen Wenge, she might even be able to get some benefits out of this fool.
The more Yang Wanqiu thought about it, the more feasible it seemed. She stumbled and almost fell. Then she squatted down, hugging her leg and crying out, "Ouch, my leg hurts so much. I don't know if the wound has reopened."
(These past two days have been rainy and snowy, and the ground is very dirty due to the mud. This made Yang Wanqiu, who originally wanted to fall on the ground, change her mind. After all, this is the only cotton coat she has, and if it gets dirty, she won't have a change of clothes.)
