Chapter 14 It seems my cousin and aunt have lost their jobs.
"Sister Yueyan didn't do it on purpose, cousin, you're not angry, are you?"
Yin Xiaoyin naturally felt indebted to Ji Yueyan.
She was also disgusted by Yin Wenying's words.
Ji Yueyan, holding the heavy wooden basin, slammed it down, her tone even more sarcastic than Yin Xiaoyin's: "Wenying, the basin is too heavy, I really couldn't keep my balance, you'll forgive me, right?"
Yin Xiaoyin rushed over with a pained expression and held Ji Yueyan's hand: "My cousin is so kind, she definitely will."
Robots have a very strong ability to imitate, you know!
Hearing the commotion, the other people walked over and asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
They saw that Yin Xiaoyin and Ji Yueyan looked aggrieved, while Yin Wenying still had some anger on her face.
The girl awkwardly advised, her tone slightly embarrassed: "We're all from the same educated youth settlement, let's talk things out, let's talk things out, haha..."
Who would willingly get involved in a conflict? The reason for the conflict is unclear, especially since Yin Wenying and Yin Xiaoyin are sisters. She doesn't want to be disliked by both sides.
Yin Wenying ground her teeth; she knew she should act more magnanimously.
But she just couldn't help it.
Especially when she thought about Yin Xiaoyin's several boxes of good stuff, things that she couldn't get despite her best efforts, Yin Xiaoyin could get easily.
The jealousy and envy that I couldn't suppress welled up again.
"I haven't even washed this dress yet, I can forgive you, but you still have to pay for it, right?"
Ji Yueyan acted on impulse and now regrets it. She had already decided to stay far away from Yin Wenying, so why did she rush in on a whim?
Has she forgotten that Yin Wenying is an odd person by nature? Back when her relationship with Yin Wenying was quite good, every lucky thing Yin Wenying had was accompanied by her own unfortunate circumstances.
Besides, how could she possibly afford to pay for it?
But, Xiaoyin...
Thinking back on the past few days she had spent with this young girl, Ji Yueyan no longer regretted her decision.
From childhood to adulthood, no one has ever thought about her; they only want to get something from her...
Only Xiaoyin, who had only shown a little bit of insignificant kindness, was approached by a girl even younger than her who had started making plans for her.
Ji Yueyan is an extremely clear-headed person with her own ideas, and such a person is more likely to understand what is truly in her best interest.
Moreover, this incident allowed him to vent his anger from before.
She clenched her fist: "Okay, I will..." (The sentence is incomplete and lacks context.)
Before she could finish speaking, her wrist was grabbed by a pair of small hands. Yin Xiaoyin looked at Yin Wenying with a smile, her tone carrying a hint of fierce threat: "I feel like I've seen the fabric of this dress somewhere before."
Yin Wenying's expression changed instantly, and her eyes involuntarily darted away.
Because the fabric for this dress was something Grandma Yin had shamelessly "borrowed" from her second uncle's house.
The Yin family had a large number of members, and even if they saved up their cloth coupons for several years, they wouldn't have enough to make a single garment. Grandma Yin was finally willing to make one for Yin Wenying, but she couldn't buy any cloth at all, so she went to the Liang family and "took" some away.
Now that it was brought up in front of the person in question, Yin Wenying's momentum immediately weakened.
"These clothes will have to be washed sooner or later anyway, I was just joking, Yueyan, don't take it seriously..."
Yin Wenying, being a wise man who knows when to yield, immediately changed her tone.
Meanwhile, the bystanders who were watching the drama unfold secretly patted their chests and thought, "Luckily we didn't get involved; this is quite a show!"
Who made the educated youth settlement such a tiny place?
Yin Xiaoyin snorted, still acting like a haughty little cousin. She pulled Ji Yueyan and said, "Come on, let's hang the clothes out to dry."
As Yin Xiaoyin was leaving, Yin Wenying subconsciously called out to her, "Xiaoyin, didn't Grandma tell you before you went to the countryside that we sisters should help each other out?"
Yin Xiaoyin's eyes crinkled into a smile: "When I went to the countryside, Grandma seemed to be quite busy because my aunt's temporary job had some issues, and she didn't have time to tell me anything..."
Yin Wenying paused for a moment, then subconsciously murmured, "My mother's job?"
"Oh dear, this is so frustrating. It seems my aunt has lost her job... Doesn't my cousin know about this?"
Yin Xiaoyin pretended to be surprised and covered her mouth, looking as if she had said something she shouldn't have.
Yin Wenying was furious. How could she possibly know that sending a letter would cost money? Her family was very frugal, and they would never spend money to write a letter to tell her about this.
She kept cursing in her heart, thinking, "Useless, useless! Her mother is hopeless! She couldn't even keep the temporary job she finally got!"
He looked at Yin Xiaoyin suspiciously again: "My mom's job?"
Yin Xiaoyin looked innocent: "I'm not quite sure why either. Maybe she doesn't like the job? I'm a junior, how could I ask her?"
"Yueyan, let's go, hurry up and hang the clothes out to dry..."
Yin Wenying remained alone, her expression shifting as she went.
She originally intended to use her grandmother's influence to pressure Yin Xiaoyin, so that, like before, even if Yin Xiaoyin was unwilling, she would at least get a share of the good stuff. But who would have thought that instead of getting any advantage, she received such bad news.
"It was clearly before..."
A strong sense of resentment lingered throughout her body, even though she used to always be able to get what she wanted...
She was well aware that when she was considered lucky, someone else would always have to bear the corresponding bad luck.
But so what?
Those people were just a little unlucky.
Yin Xiaoyin and Ji Yueyan quickly finished drying the clothes. The other two female educated youths were also preparing to go back to their rooms to rest. As soon as they entered the room, they saw Yin Wenying still standing there stiffly.
"Um, we need to rest now, aren't you going back?"
One of the female educated youths spoke up timidly.
Yin Wenying snapped out of her daze, somewhat out of sorts, and gave a weak "Mmm" before leaving the room.
Yin Xiaoyin lay on the bed, and only at this moment did she feel a slight sense of relaxation after a whole day of exhaustion. She had long since forgotten about Yin Wenying; it wasn't her who was so angry that she couldn't sleep!
She was thinking about Xu Qingyan.
The fact that her tears could fall onto that piece of paper suggests that, although Xu Qingyan couldn't hear her, they could still communicate through other channels.
She wanted to ask him if there was any news about her uncle.
After Ji Yueyan finished tidying up, she saw Yin Xiaoyin repeating yesterday's quick movements and already closing her eyes, which she found somewhat amusing.
She's getting old after all; she can't understand what kids are thinking these days...
Mosquitoes love sweet, white, and tender flesh. Fearing that Yin Xiaoyin would be bitten by mosquitoes at night, Ji Yueyan covered the mosquito net for her again, yawned, and went back to her own bed to rest.
Another female educated youth, who had just lain down in bed, couldn't help but laugh and said, "Why does it feel like you're taking care of Xiaoyin like a child?"
She added wistfully, "If, if we hadn't gone to the countryside, we might be married with children by now... Yueyan, if you had children, you would definitely be a good mother."
Ji Yueyan frowned, looking incredulous: "No, I think life is pretty good now, and I don't like children, it's just that Xiaoyin is more likable."
From childhood to adulthood, her family lived in cramped conditions, with her older siblings' children coming and going one after another. To her, they were all noisy and unruly, and she didn't find them cute at all.
So after being sent to the countryside, she was reluctant to get married and have children.
The female educated youth chuckled softly: "Once the busy autumn harvest season is over, we should put the literacy classes for the villagers on the agenda. Let's work hard together then!"
Ji Yueyan: "This is also a chance for us to learn again. We've never had such an opportunity before. It's great..."
The room slowly returned to silence, gradually filled with the sweet breathing of everyone.
Despite being exhausted, Yin Wenying couldn't sleep most of the night. She tossed and turned, feeling increasingly aggrieved, and eventually couldn't help but sob. Why couldn't everything go according to her wishes?
Although the others were exhausted, the sobbing continued. They groggily awoke and asked, "Wenying, what's wrong?"
Yin Wenying sobbed, refusing to say, "No, it's nothing, you guys go to sleep, don't, don't worry about me..."
