Chapter 523: Chapter 524 Sister Flowers Educated Youth 41_1

Shen Jie donned a coat, "I’ll go open the door."

The Zhao Family Sisters were groggy, wondering who it could be with such a muffled voice, "Who is it?"

"It’s my sister, Shen Yuan."

Shen Jie paused, "I’m sorry for disturbing your rest."

Just as Shen Jie was about to open the door, she thought for a moment, went back into the room to put some things into a box, then locked it.

"Help me put the lock across the way." It seemed a bit cruel to make Shen Yuan go back in the dark at this hour.

But if she let her stay here, Shen Jie really worried that this person might turn into a thief in the middle of the night.

Feng Dan looked at Shen Jie’s cautious demeanor, "She wouldn’t, would she?"

"I’d rather be wrong, but I don’t want her to empty my life savings."

After the New Year, I received a cotton-padded jacket from home with a substantial sum of two thousand yuan tucked inside, knowing they were concerned that I might miss out on a desirable ginseng due to a lack of funds.

Now, without having bought any ginseng, the money is in the box, along with the money mailed by Shen Xiaoguang; there is quite a large sum in the box.

Feng Dan thought for a moment, locked her own box, then placed both keys in the room next door.

The Zhao Family Sisters, looking at the two keys Feng Dan brought over, glanced at her puzzled.

"At this hour, we can’t make her go back overnight in case..." Feng Dan let out a rueful laugh.

The sisters immediately understood, "Okay, we’ll take care of them, and we’ll lock the door."

Everyone was so familiar with each other that even when going to bed at night, they wouldn’t lock the doors.

"Right, right, it’s better to be careful." Feng Dan prayed incessantly, hoping Shen Yuan would finish talking and then leave immediately.

As soon as Shen Jie opened the door, before she could ask anything, she saw Shen Yuan fall to her knees with a thud.

Shen Jie was baffled, "What, what?" Goodness, it seemed like she was gearing up for a stubborn fight.

"Sister, please save me, I really have no other choice."

"What’s going on, what happened." Shen Jie tried to pull her up but couldn’t, and then she didn’t want to anymore.

If someone insists on kneeling on the ground, then let her kneel.

"Sister, that Gao Jian, he, he went hunting in the mountains and caught a few rabbits, and the villagers found out and want to punish him."

Shen Yuan truly didn’t understand, "Everyone else can go hunting, so why is it a problem when Gao Jian does, and why does it lead to trouble?"

Shen Yuan said indignantly, "They are just bullying him."

Although it wasn’t early, if someone called out for help, everyone would definitely come out to see what was going on.

As Shen Yuan saw more and more people coming out, her voice grew louder, "They are really too much."

"They are bullying the educated youths."

In the village, of course, the locals were the majority, so Shen Yuan would definitely be meek, but here in the farmstead, the educated youths outnumbered the others, and Shen Yuan knew how to speak accordingly.

Bullying the educated youths? Shen Jie admired Shen Yuan’s forthrightness, as she managed to shift the focus so skillfully.

Shen Jie took a deep breath, "Don’t talk nonsense."

"Even as a new educated youth, I know that spring is the breeding season for animals, and unless there are special circumstances, people usually don’t go into the mountains."

"We all are aware of this, and it’s impossible that no one in the village mentioned it to you." If the village is taking such actions, it’s unlikely to be Gao Jian’s first offense.

"We, the village, we weren’t notified," Shen Yuan said, having learned after the fact that Gao Jian had not only been caught once before but had been discovered by the villagers on previous occasions.

Gao Jian didn’t care much, and today he went hunting in the mountains again, and when the villagers discovered him once more, they stopped letting him off easy and locked him up straight away.

The villagers issued a fine, saying that Gao Jian had better remember, or they would make a note of it in the archives.

Seeing her speak hesitantly, "The village didn’t send a notice, you’re the new educated youths, you don’t know about this matter, so it’s mainly about education."

"You can go to the commune."

"You don’t really expect me to accompany you to the commune, do you?" Shen Jie bet Shen Yuan wouldn’t dare go to the commune.

What? Go to the commune to find the leaders? Shen Yuan wouldn’t dare, "No need, no need, we still have to live in the village."

"If this gets blown out of proportion, things will become difficult for us later."

"The village said it could be settled with money." Shen Yuan looked pitifully at Shen Jie,

"Settled with money." They knew she had money on hand and planned to make her, the sucker, pay up.

"Yes, yes, yes." Shen Yuan nodded incessantly, "It’s not a lot of money, just three hundred."

Three hundred isn’t much? The onlookers all gasped, but Shen Jie wasn’t surprised at all, "It isn’t much, but why should I be the one to pay this money?"

"The village didn’t give a warning. Why should you pay this money?"

"Moreover, Gao Jian has earned no less than this amount." Shen Jie estimated in her mind, feeling that the village should know about Gao Jian making money.

Although she didn’t know exactly how much he’d earned, it should be about three hundred anyway.

Really ruthless, with one move like this, would see if Gao Jian still dares to make a move? It could also effectively deter the rest of the restless educated youths.

"It’s a bit far, but I can take leave to make this special trip, I can’t just watch you get cheated."

Figuring that Gao Jian was caught red-handed this time, to get Shen Yuan to help out, he’d probably admit some things, but wouldn’t reveal more information.

"He, he didn’t make any money." Shen Yuan insisted repeatedly on Gao Jian’s behalf, "I admit it, I admit it."

"This isn’t the first time he went up the mountain to hunt, last time, last time he was discovered."

"And he was warned."

"But something happened at his home, and they needed money." Shen Yuan was somewhat dissatisfied with Gao Jian’s family.

It’s clear that they are here in the village as educated youths, not getting a fixed monthly salary, and their income isn’t great.

So why should they turn to Gao Jian whenever there is an incident? Everything was expected to be resolved by him, and Shen Yuan had all sorts of displeasure towards the Gao Family.

Clearly, Gao Jian’s younger brother was no longer young and could earn a bit of money by himself, but all he did was to think of ways to rely on Gao Jian.

"Something happened at home, but since he came here, he has done quite a few businesses."

"Every week he sells fish, and there’s also selling wild rabbits and whatnot." Shen Jie said coolly.

Shen Yuan was fighting for Gao Jian, going all out, ready to kneel at any moment, completely disregarding herself.

If she knew that Gao Jian had hidden many things, that he had been making money all along, and had considerable income, who knew what someone’s thoughts would be.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible." Shen Yuan simply didn’t believe it, "He never caught any fish, how could he earn money..."

"And he, he doesn’t hunt either."

"You, you must be framing him, right, you’re just framing him." Shen Yuan declared fiercely.

"Gao Jian knew I came to find you, seeking your help, you definitely wouldn’t lend the money."

"And it’s not just about not lending money, you would also smear him in various ways."

"Speaking ill of him, I once told him that you’re not that kind of person, that if you encountered such a situation, you would definitely lend a hand."

In short, in Shen Yuan’s mouth, Shen Jie was such a heartless person.
