Chapter 489: Chapter 490 Sister Flowers Educated Youth 7_1

No way, they’re actually getting a divorce? Shen Jie was stunned; she only wanted to make the other party the butt of a joke, so she wouldn’t have to constantly hear their mocking.

But she never expected that this time, the joke on the other side would be so huge — it had escalated to the point of divorce.

What should she do now? Ruining someone’s marriage is highly unethical; she had made a grave mistake.

Soon, everyone would definitely turn their focus on the Shen family; they needed to be prepared for it.

If it were merely about stirring up fights between the couple, it wouldn’t be a big issue; with the old lady’s fighting spirit, they could probably handle it easily.

Shen Jie rushed back home at top speed, and her actions greatly alarmed the four family members there.

"What’s going on, what’s going on?" Lady Shen Li, seeing Shen Jie’s haste, was also quite scared, wondering if something major had happened.

Shen Jie quickly shared what she had encountered, "What should we do, what should we do?"

Lady Shen Li hadn’t expected it to be over this matter, "No worries, those two won’t really divorce."

Ah? Shen Jie was dumbfounded, "But, but they were really fighting fiercely."

"Relax, they have fought and even discussed divorce before."

"Their kid is already so big, almost of marriageable age in a couple of years, why would they divorce?" Lady Shen Li was quite sure of herself.

"It’s just the man trying to gain some advantage, but if he doesn’t give in, they might really divorce."

Lady Shen Li felt that this time the fight was so intense it was probably over the younger sister’s marriage prospects, "I’ve seen his younger sister; she’s a gentle and quiet girl."

"She always brings things over and does the chores too; how could someone be so heartless as to set her up with such a man?"

"Perhaps they think that for a girl from the countryside, marrying a city man is already reaching high," speculated Shen Jie.

Lady Shen Li shook her head, "So what if he’s from the city? One shouldn’t compromise when it comes to a lifelong commitment."

"Just watch, those old folks can’t just sit by; it’s their family that’s in the wrong after all."

If things blew up, everyone would assuredly stand with the man.

Realizing the issue wasn’t serious and wouldn’t involve her, Shen Jie couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief, "Good, good."

"By the way, Dad, when do you plan to talk to Uncle Tang about the registration?" With the previous issue likely resolved, Shen Jie became very concerned about this one.

"Tomorrow afternoon," Jian She had thought to tell his daughter that as a girl, she shouldn’t be so sharp-tongued as it could easily offend people.

But recalling what his mother had just said, he decided against it; it was better for a girl to be fierce than to be bullied, especially since she was about to go to the Northeast.

"Tomorrow afternoon, huh." Shen Jie knew that it was practically hopeless; Shen Jiansheng would go back and inform Shen Yuan, and it would take at least until the day after tomorrow to register successfully.

That was if things went smoothly; if someone delayed the proceedings by making another date with their lover, time would be wasted again.

"They probably won’t end up together."

"Maybe it’s just in a village near the farm?" Shen Guanghui, having heard from the old lady, thought his naive older sister wasn’t so foolish after all and was relieved.

Otherwise, he was genuinely worried; if he could, he actually wanted to go and become an educated youth, as boys had it better than girls in that role.

"Nearby is fine; everyone is too busy working to have time for visits."

"Besides, the farm pays money; what would she need me for? To borrow money?"

"She hasn’t paid back the money she borrowed before; why would I lend her more? And before, when we were at home, it was understandable if Uncle Tang and the others didn’t give money."

"But now that she’s an educated youth, just work hard, and there will be money. Why doesn’t she put more effort into her work?"

"’Lending money to me, I can’t make a living and she won’t be able to progress—it’s not good for her,’"

"’What if one day I feel it’s too hard and I don’t want to stay in the Northeast anymore, and I want to go home? Wouldn’t I need money then?’"

"’With money, a little help now and then will make her remember my kindness, but if I give too much, the other party will just think I’m a fool,’"

"’If I have money, can’t I buy some shiitake mushrooms or something and send them back home?’"

"’Feng Dan did say that supplies are abundant in the Northeast, so if possible, I’ll buy some stuff and send it back when the time comes,’"

She could definitely guarantee this; the original host had obtained many things for Shen Yuan, who could then send some things back.

Not to mention that no one would take advantage of her, could she obtain anything good without it being less?

After all, the Shen family was also good to her and had said they would send money every month.

"’Don’t worry about sending things, just live well over there,’" Zhang Yamei knew that actually, it would be best if she gave up her job.

But she didn’t dare, really didn’t dare. The health of her parents at home was getting worse, and her sister’s health wasn’t good either, with expenses for medications increasing.

"’Mom, it’s okay,’" Shen Jie could feel Zhang Yamei’s deep reluctance.

"’Mom, Old Shen, Xiao Hui, Xiao Jie,’" Zhang Yamei thought of the matter they had discussed with their parents a few days ago, which she originally didn’t want to bring up so soon.

She was just worried that her daughter was too honest and could easily be led by others, so she was not planning to tell her about this matter.

Now that Xiao Jie was more sensible, it wouldn’t hurt to mention it, "’I discussed it with my parents and my sister already,’"

"’When they’re no longer here, the house will go to Xiao Jie,’" Zhang Yamei knew everyone in the family would agree to this suggestion.

What? The Zhang family’s house would be left to her? Shen Jie was truly stunned, "’Mom, I can’t take the house,’"

With brothers above and below, shouldn’t the house go to them? Why would it go to her?

Lady Shen Li knew about the Zhang family’s house, which would definitely be left to her own family when the time came. She was slightly surprised that it would go to Shen Jie but felt it was quite normal,

"’That’s fine,’"

Shen Xiaohui also saw no issue with it, "’It should be left to my sister,’"

"’I don’t want it, and neither does my brother,’" Even though his health wasn’t great, he always believed that a real man should strive to earn his own money, rather than rely on his parents or elders.

Shen Jianshe agreed as well, "’It’s good for Xiao Jie. If it weren’t for Xiao Hui’s poor health, she should have gone instead,’"

"’Xiao Jie really has suffered a lot for the family, giving her the house is only right,’" Shen Jianshe set the tone.

Wow, although the house was still registered under the Zhang family’s name, she knew that both the Zhang family and the Shen family were people of their word. If they said the house would be given to her, they would definitely give it.

"’Also, half of your brother’s salary will be sent to you as well,’"

"’Until you come back to the city,’ Shen Jianshe paused, ’and when your mom reaches retirement age, or if your grandparents are no longer with us,’"

"’Your mom will immediately have you take over the job,’"

"’Regardless of whether your brothers are married by then, the job will be kept for you,’"

Although he didn’t know where his future daughters-in-law might be, for Shen Jiansheng, none could surpass Shen Jie’s position.

"’Yes, yes, yes,’" Lady Shen Li nodded continuously, agreeing with her son and daughter-in-law’s views.

"’Dad, Mom...’" Shen Jie knew that she would just be going to the countryside for a few years and then would return to the city after passing the college entrance exam, but the Shen family didn’t know it would be like this now.

They had already considered so much for her, it could be said that they truly cared for the original host beyond the norm.
