Chapter 553: Chapter 554 Sister Flowers Educated Youth 71_1

Upon entering the family compound, whether Shen Jie knew them or not, people who saw them would take the initiative to greet them.

They would also enthusiastically greet Shen Jie, giving her a sense of being cherished and flabbergasted.

Seizing a moment when few people were around, Shen Xiaohui whispered, "Ever since you found out your college entrance exam results, I don’t even know how many people have come to propose a marriage match."

Before Shen Jie went to the Northeast to become an educated youth, she was also one of the preferred daughter-in-law candidates within the compound.

But ever since she went to the Northeast, no one had come knocking, thinking that she would not have a promising future there.

Once they heard about her exam results and knew that Shen Jie had a bright future ahead, of course, everyone wanted to marry her into their family.

Matchmaking? "I haven’t even thought about getting married now."

"After completing my undergraduate studies, I want to continue and pursue my master’s."

"Brother, with my situation, I could definitely at least find a university graduate, right?"

Shen Jie slightly raised her voice, not caring if the passing people heard and what kind of talk they would spread outside.

If they were to work in Capital City in the future, the whole family would move there, and the compound’s house would really just be an old family home, occasionally visited.

As long as they were successful, the surrounding neighbors could only look up to them and could only speak words of jealousy.

Shen Xiaohui understood her meaning and nodded incessantly, "That’s right, Sister, you’re already a university student, you should definitely find another university graduate."

Having lived in the same compound, the so-called promising young men mentioned by the matchmakers were truly laughable.

If they truly had promise, how could they be of age yet without partners, although some were decent and just had high standards.

But their circumstances compared to Shen Jie, who was already a university student and would be a doctor in the future, were far from close.

Shen Xiaohui had never felt they were good enough for Shen Jie, and now it was even more out of the question—the gap had widened, and they were even less suitable for his sister.

Knowing that Shen Jie was coming back today, the young men interested in her, as well as their families, all came out for a stroll.

They didn’t know when the car would be delayed until or when Shen Jie would return.

In order to see Shen Jie at the earliest opportunity and leave a good impression, they kept strolling around, even if it was cold.

Finally seeing Shen Jie, they just thought about how to greet her casually without showing their purpose.

But then they heard the conversation between Shen Jie and her brother; the more prideful boys turned around and left in a huff.

Shen Jie was a university student with a bright future, but theirs was not bad either.

Some boys stayed, taking the opportunity to greet the Shen family.

It was only a greeting, and of course, Shen Jie would not give them a reason to criticize her, politely saying hello to everyone.

The main thing was, no matter who greeted her, she treated them all the same.

The crowd sighed internally; it seemed Shen Jie had no interest in them. Now they truly regretted it.

Even when Shen Jie went to the Northeast to become an educated youth, they should not have given up. If they had persisted in coming to propose then, perhaps they could have married her already.

But it was too late for regrets now, and looking on helplessly, all they could do was watch the Shen family of three return home.

Lady Shen Li stood at the window looking outside, catching sight of the three of them from afar, "Jian She, aren’t you coming back quickly."

"What are you dawdling for out there?" Lady Shen Li’s glance swept over several people nearby with displeasure.

These people were not suitable matches; in the past, they talked readily about becoming in-laws, but once she went to the Northeast, they disappeared.

When passing by on the road and exchanging brief greetings, it felt as if they were worried about being obliged to marry Xiao Jie.

Zhang Yamei hurriedly reheated the dishes in the corridor; in the middle of winter, of course, the meal had to be served hot.

Sitting on the train for such a long time was no ordinary ordeal.

Once Shen Jianshe and the other two heard the old lady’s voice, they picked up their pace towards home.

"Now your grandma has quite the temper, if you don’t listen to her, the consequences can be severe."

Shen Jie kept nodding, agreeing repeatedly, "Yes, yes."

The three of them had just reached the building and were preparing to get their luggage from the car when several neighbors came out and helped carry the items up for them.

"Thank you," Shen Jianshe remembered those who helped and didn’t stop thanking them.

"Don’t mention it." During the time Shen Jie was sent down to the Northeast as a youth, they had not missed out on the benefits.

The young girl had indeed helped them by bringing back cured meats and mushrooms, significantly improving their own meals.

After helping to bring the luggage up to the Shen family’s place, the neighbors promptly left.

Shen Jianshe, of course, did not let them help for nothing and distributed cigarettes to them.

Shen Jie knew that Shen Jianshe didn’t smoke, so she was a bit surprised to see him handing out cigarettes.

"Today I went to pick you up, and I was worried they might come in handy," Shen Jianshe put away the remaining cigarettes.

"Right, you have no idea. If Dad hadn’t offered cigarettes, we wouldn’t have been able to enter the duty room to wait, nor would we have been able to wait for you on the platform," Shen Xiaohui explained.

Shen Xiaohui didn’t smoke either, but today he learned yet another trick.

"By the way, sis, how come you took a hard sleeper back?" He had been wanting to ask this question earlier but hadn’t found the chance.

Shen Jie explained the ins and outs of the situation; the Shen family hadn’t expected that she had gone through so much trouble in the Northeast.

"By the way, sis, didn’t Shen Yuan take the college entrance exams?" Shen Xiaohui thought of Shen Yuan, who surely would have asked Shen Jie for books, and wondered how she did.

Shen Jianshe and the others all looked at Shen Jie, wanting to know if that girl had caused any more fuss.

She would have mentioned it even if they hadn’t asked and briefly talked about what had happened since the resumption of the college entrance exams.

"When I left, I knew she had been locked up, but I don’t know what happened after that."

"But I heard from the higher-ups that, successful or not, the nature of the incident is very serious and cannot be overlooked."

"Has her brain been flooded with water?" Shen Xiaohui couldn’t understand how Shen Yuan could have come up with such a plan.

"Just by getting the admission notice and identity card, she thought she could cheat her way through?" Shen Xiaohui could only express disbelief at her way of thinking.

"To get into university, I guess. She couldn’t pass the entrance exams, she wanted to return to Capital City, and so she thought of this method."

"Actually, when you think about it, this has always been her way of doing things."

"She probably thought that even if the matter was exposed, the problem wouldn’t be that serious."

"No, that’s wrong. She must have not expected this, that the issue would come to light."

"Deservedly so," Zhang Yamei was quite happy to hear this news, then looked at Shen Jianshe, "If they come to you asking about Shen Yuan’s situation."

"Shen Jie wouldn’t know, they weren’t sent to the same place, and it’s perfectly normal for her not to know."

"Besides, if they want to know about Shen Yuan’s situation, can’t they just write a letter?"

A girl capable of doing such a thing, Shen Jianshe also felt a strong dissatisfaction with her, stealing a letter of acceptance not knowing how it could ruin a person’s life.

"Regardless of how she is punished, from now on, if you encounter Shen Yuan, don’t pay her any attention."

Shen Jianshe didn’t believe that someone like Shen Yuan would change, as she was destined to be a person who would neither reflect nor change.
