Chapter 494: Chapter 495 Sister Flowers Educated Youth 12_1

Just when she was about to pour out the contents to take a closer look.

It was a parting gift from her grandfather’s former boss, and Shen Jie truly anticipated it.

Coming from a wealthy boss, it was sure to be generous. Just as she prepared to unwrap it, she heard someone knocking on the door.

It wasn’t strange to hear a knock, but to her surprise, it was Shen Yuan’s voice.

Knowing that someone had come looking for her, Shen Jie quickly prepared to put the items away.

"Hide the stuff," Lady Shen Li commanded directly, "You go answer the door."

Knowing who was outside, Lady Shen Li did not want to see that particular girl.

As Shen Jie saw that Lady Shen Li had already tidied everything away, she went to open the door.

Before she could even speak, an angry voice confronted her, "Shen Jie, what’s the matter with you? Didn’t we agree to sign up together?"

"How could you just go and register on your own?" Shen Yuan found out from Shen Jianshe’s lips early in the morning that Shen Jie had already gone to the local office to register yesterday, and she was fuming.

If they didn’t sign up at the same time, at the same place, how could they possibly end up together?

What angered her even more was that Shen Jie managed to get a spot at the Northeast Construction Farm, while she was just about to notify Gao Jian.

Then, early in the morning, she received news that a neighbor who had rushed to register came back to report, "Don’t bother signing up; all the slots for the farm are filled."

This nearly drove Shen Yuan mad with rage. All her hopes and plans for the future were built on the premise of sticking together with Shen Jie and her family.

Now, it turned out that Shen Jie had left them behind to register on her own, completely disregarding her. How could Shen Yuan not be angry?

"Did I promise?" Shen Jie looked surprised, "Uncle mentioned it to me."

"But I told my dad that I had already agreed to go register with my friends."

"You were just a step too late," Shen Jie expressed helplessly. It was really just a matter of timing, "One should keep one’s word."

"Besides, Sister Xiao Yuan, you were going to sign up as an educated youth with Gao Jian anyway, so I didn’t get involved," Shen Jie added, slightly impatient.

"You can still sign up now. If you register earlier, maybe you can get a spot on the farm." Seeing the other person’s demeanor, she guessed the quota was probably full.

If she could have gotten a spot at the farm, would she be this angry? "It’s full, it was full first thing in the morning."

"People began signing up yesterday afternoon."

"You, you went to sign up yesterday morning, why didn’t you tell me?" The more Shen Yuan thought about it, the more upset she became, her words tinged with cursing.

Shen Jie couldn’t help but frown at the rudeness of the speech, which was truly displeasing.

Just as she was about to respond, the old lady interjected, "What, just because your family says something, mine has to comply? Xiao Jie made a promise to her classmates first."

"In the heat of the summer, Xiao Jie, even if I had informed you yesterday afternoon, could you really have managed to register? You should have asked your male friend, Gao Jian."

The old lady had not intended to speak up, but Shen Yuan’s impolite remarks had enraged her.

Shen Jie mentioning Gao Jian didn’t surprise Shen Yuan, but she was shocked that the old lady even knew of him.

It clearly was Shen Jie who had tattled, and with venomous eyes Shen Yuan hissed at her, "Tattletale."

"So what if I tattled? You’re going to repay the money you borrowed from me," Shen Jie declared, thrusting her hand in front of Shen Yuan.

Looking at the hand presented before her, Shen Yuan truly couldn’t believe that Shen Jie was actually asking her to repay the money.

This was something she had never even considered, "You, you’re actually asking me to repay the money?"

"Listen to what you’re saying," Shen Jie exasperatedly responded. "When you borrow money, of course, it’s supposed to be repaid. It’s not as if I just gave it to you, and besides, I have no money to spare."

"It looks like your family has always had the habit of borrowing and not returning," Shen Jie’s face lengthened, "borrow with the promise of returning, and borrowing again won’t be difficult."

"Sister Xiao Yuan, if you don’t return the money like this, don’t expect to borrow from me again." Shen Jie was very unhappy.

"Then don’t lend it." It was impossible for her to return the money, because she didn’t have any, and even if she did, it would already have a purpose—it was impossible for her to give it back.

Once she got to the Northeast, she would be able to earn a salary and Points, make money, and have cash in hand. Would she still need to look at her face to get money then?

An infuriated Shen Yuan, turned around and left without saying goodbye, such a display to the younger generation was a loss of face for Lady Shen Li.

"The younger generation today really, when they need you, they call out to you, sing your praises, but the moment you don’t do what they want, they turn their backs and act like they don’t know you."

Lady Shen Li’s tirade, naturally attracted the attention of the surrounding neighbors who were at home, all asking what exactly happened.

Lady Shen Li naturally explained the whole story, "He just mentioned it to Jian She, how could he know Xiao Jie had already made an appointment with someone."

"After finding out about this last night after work, I asked him to inform her first thing in the morning, as there was still time to sign up."

"But she just came over and said it was full, implying why didn’t they wait for her, it’s really absurd, as there was no agreement to sign up together."

"Being able to notify her was really quite good already, but still, she had this attitude."

"Not even knowing how to greet someone when entering a door." The old lady remembered how Shen Yuan did not even greet her when she saw her.

It wasn’t just excessive, the old lady had already decided, this matter couldn’t just be dropped like this, she had to talk to Shen Jiansheng about it.

Now even Shen Yuan felt she could walk all over her, who would it be next time? In any case, she absolutely could not let this go so easily this time.

Shen Yuan, having left Shen Jie’s family’s house, was unaware of all these things; right now, she was very angry, "Damn it, I don’t believe it, that useless girl who couldn’t fart with three sticks, she won’t have a good life there."

Shen Yuan kept cursing Shen Jie’s future, wishing it to be as bleak as possible.

"What to do, if I go to the Northeast, it’s impossible for the family to prepare cotton-padded clothes." This made Shen Yuan’s head ache.

It wasn’t that there were no cotton-padded clothes, but rather that those at home were not suitable for wearing in the Northeast; they needed additional cotton filling.

But there was no cotton at home, and even if there was, it would be for her brothers, not for her.

And Gao Jian as well, remembering the cotton-padded clothes he wore in winter, Shen Yuan couldn’t help but feel troubled.

"Damn Shen Jie." If she had just followed Shen Jie, none of this would have been a problem, and it might have been fixable.

But now, great, she had to figure out a solution on her own, how to solve it was indeed a problem.

After thinking for a long time, Shen Yuan felt that she could only look for Shen Jie; otherwise, she really didn’t know what to do.

But they had just had a quarrel, and if she went to look for Shen Jie now, who knows how she might gloat.

"Forget it, I’ll go find her in a couple of days, get some cotton and money from her."

Since they were destined to part ways, in that case, she certainly couldn’t be polite, she needed to prepare more money.

There were many things to buy, expenses for food and drink en route, and upon arrival, there was a need for newer things—all requiring money.

After walking around outside for a while, Shen Yuan returned home, and of course, what she told Shen Jiansheng and the others was that there were too many people signing up, and she hadn’t managed to register.

Upon hearing that she hadn’t been able to register, Shen Jiansheng and the others remarked, "You really take too long to sign up."

Shen Jiansheng found out on returning that a neighbor had managed to sign up first thing this morning.

Yet Shen Yuan actually failed to register, "You really are useless, what can you do?"

Shen Yuan kept silent, knowing that at this time, it was better to be quiet; any retort would only lead to more scolding.
