Chapter 535: Chapter 536 Sister Flowers Educated Youth 53_1

Shen Yuan looked in the direction where the figures had already disappeared, then checked to see no one was around.

"I told you, such a method is completely useless."

"That woman is really heartless."

Gao Jian, with an unhappy face, emerged from behind a large tree, "I said from the start that we shouldn’t use this chicken."

He glanced at the chicken in Shen Yuan’s hand with disgust, "I told you from the beginning not to use the guise of a wild chicken."

"If I don’t use the guise of a wild chicken, what should I use, my own raised chickens?"

Shen Yuan was so angry that she threw the chicken she was holding straight at Gao Jian.

Gao Jian watched the chicken fly towards him and kicked it away. "Shen Yuan, you’ve gone mad."

"Yes, I’ve gone mad," Shen Yuan said furiously, looking at Gao Jian, "You’re always saying you have no money, no money. Where is the money from selling fish and game you used to have?"

"I told you, there wasn’t much money, and there were some issues at home that needed money," Gao Jian said, rubbing his waist.

If it weren’t for his poor health, he really wouldn’t want to be with Shen Yuan at all.

Shen Yuan hadn’t wanted to say it, but now, seeing him rub his waist, she was really very angry.

"If you hadn’t schemed against me, why would I be with you?" Shen Yuan thought of the events from a couple of days ago and became even angrier.

At that moment, she truly regretted ever going out. If she hadn’t gone out, none of this would have happened.

Without this incident, she would definitely not be with Gao Jian.

"I know what you’re thinking. You’re dreaming if you think I’m going to help you pay back the money."

Shen Yuan was not foolish. She knew why Gao Jian would be willing to take her back, "Good for nothing, your waist isn’t the only issue, you’re unhealthy, and you also have debts."

"Why don’t you go and tell your mother to give you her job?" Shen Yuan remembered the content of the letter she had seen earlier and became even more furious.

"You’ve seen Shen Jie’s attitude too. She totally ignores me and definitely won’t lend me money."

"You can either ask your family for money or hope you get lucky and find another old ginseng."

Shen Yuan was not incapable of accepting Gao Jian, but she had only recently found out that he had unearthed a ginseng of about thirty to forty years old in the mountains.

While it wasn’t a centuries-old ginseng and couldn’t sell for a very high price, it could still fetch a good few hundred.

"Your health was already poor back then; why didn’t you think to use the money to get treatment."

"Instead, the money you got from selling the ginseng, you sent it back home."

"In front of me, you’re always lamenting your poverty, always saying how unwell you are."

"Telling me to go borrow money from Shen Jie so you can get treatment."

"Even though I had already known, you’re really nothing special. How could I have thought about marrying you?"

Shen Yuan’s sense of grievance deepened as she thought about it, and she burst into tears.

Gao Jian, listening to Shen Yuan’s crying accusation, had no desire to explain. In his heart, he was the eldest son of his family, and it was natural for him to find solutions when his family faced problems.

Even if he explained, Shen Yuan would surely force him to get the money back, which was absolutely impossible.

Gao Jian was well aware that there would be many such issues in the future, and he was definitely not going to change.

If anyone had to change, it could only be Shen Yuan.

Shen Yuan cried for quite a while and realized that Gao Jian was just standing there, quietly watching her cry, without a word of comfort.

Shen Yuan’s heart plummeted completely. They weren’t even married yet; Gao Jian had done wrong but wouldn’t offer a bit of comfort.

She didn’t dare to think about what would happen after they got married. Gao Jian certainly wouldn’t comfort her.

She couldn’t help but recall how Gao Jian once mentioned that his wife must be good to his family.

Initially, she hadn’t thought much of it, just felt that Gao Jian was a filial son, but now, thinking about it, it sent shivers down her spine.

Not only did Gao Jian suffer hardships himself, he wanted her to endure them too, even though he knew full well that she and Shen Jie had fallen out and would definitely not help each other out.

He even forced her to borrow money from Shen Jie, never caring about Shen Jie’s attitude towards her.

He didn’t care about her dignity, looked down on her, and never bought her anything; was such a man really her match?

She remembered something Shen Jie once said, "A man who spends money on you may not truly like you, but a man who is unwilling to spend money on you definitely doesn’t like you."

At the time, she didn’t quite understand these words, but now she did; they meant that Gao Jian didn’t like her.

If she didn’t marry Gao Jian now, she’d only ruin her reputation, but would life really be better if she married him?

Life wouldn’t be better, definitely not, not when someone still owed so much money to the village.

"You clearly owe the village so much money, yet you have money and don’t think of repaying the debt."

"Are you so sure that someone will help you raise money for medical treatment, that someone will help you pay off your debts?"

Gao Jian didn’t make a sound, just seemed a bit surprised that Shen Yuan, with her simple mind, could actually guess such things, "So what if they do?"

So what if they do? Shen Yuan took a deep breath, "I can choose not to marry."

"All that will happen is my reputation is ruined, and I’m unable to marry; so what?"

Having this realization, Shen Yuan felt a sigh of relief wash over her, the world seemed so beautiful as she turned to leave.

Gao Jian was sure of Shen Yuan, confident that she couldn’t possibly choose not to marry, but to his surprise, Shen Yuan had decided against marriage.

This truly shocked him, "Shen Yuan, Shen Yuan, you can’t choose not to get married."

Shen Yuan didn’t listen to Gao Jian calling out from behind her, as she swiftly ran toward the village.

Shen Yuan swiftly arrived at the village committee office and burst in, "I don’t want to marry Gao Jian anymore."

Shen Yuan’s voice was loud, and she didn’t even see who was in the village committee office; she only had one thought in mind, and that was to declare her intent aloud.

She absolutely couldn’t waver; otherwise, she worried that by overthinking it, she would still end up having to marry Gao Jian.

Gao Jian, despite his aching back, desperately chased after Shen Yuan, but to his surprise, even with all his effort, he still couldn’t catch up to her.

Worse yet, Shen Yuan was openly declaring her refusal to marry him.

If along the way Gao Jian thought that Shen Yuan’s refusal to marry him was just a tactic to force him to get money from home,

now upon hearing her words, Gao Jian’s legs went weak, "Village chief, village chief, we will continue to get married."

"I..." Gao Jian reached out to grab Shen Yuan.

"There’s no chance of marriage happening. You schemed against me, letting me fall into the river, and then jumped in to save me, for which I thank you,"

"but I would rather not marry at all than marry you."

"Your scheming was just to make me borrow money from my sister so that you could afford your medical expenses."

"I work in the fields every day, earning just enough to support you and help you pay off your debts."

"But the money you earn, even when you dig ginseng in the mountains and sell it for hundreds, you never save a part of it to pay for your medical treatment."

Shen Yuan, fuming with anger, unapologetically aired everything Gao Jian had kept secret.

As for whether Gao Jian would lose face, she didn’t care in the least.

A man who continuously schemed against her; why should she give him any face?

Unfortunately for Gao Jian, he hated Shen Yuan, and when he was in a bad mood, he would lose control completely.

Unexpectedly, this person could be so capricious, spouting many things that shouldn’t be said.
