All Heavens Pension started from the fiery era

At this moment, Fu Shiting's face was filled with shame and anger. When she looked at Yue Wenxuan, it was as if there were flames erupting in her eyes. She didn't know how to explain this matter for a moment, and said incoherently: "You...you...you are talking nonsense!"

Yue Wenxuan's gaze fell on Fu Shiting. The two looked at each other. Fu Shiting felt that there was no warmth in Yue Wenxuan's eyes. The look he gave her was cold and as sharp as a knife.

Being stared at in such a manner, Fu Shiting felt as if a bucket of cold water was poured on her head, and she shivered.

In her memory, Yue Wenxuan's eyes when he looked at her were always shy, loving, and gentle. She could feel that in Yue Wenxuan's eyes, she was everything to him.

But at this moment Yue Wenxuan was so strange and so ruthless!

His eyes were full of ridicule and contempt, which made her feel ashamed and angry. For the first time in her life, she experienced what it meant to be humiliated.

In her embarrassed and angry eyes, Yue Wenxuan said calmly: "You should know clearly whether I am lying or not.

If Uncle Lu and Aunt Yan also think that I am lying, then I can take out all your correspondence. The amount of money sent each time was mentioned in your letters.

During these nearly four years, we have corresponded a total of fifty-seven times, including nineteen times when I sent you money."

Yue Wenxuan ignored Fu Shiting's pale face and asked, "I sent you money nineteen times in total. Do you remember how much it added up to?"

Fu Shiting didn't want to answer this question, so she turned to look at her parents, but they didn't say anything and just stared at her seriously.

Fu Shiting bit her lip and finally had to speak: "Too many times, I don't remember?"

"Why don't you remember? Don't you plan to return it?"

Yue Wenxuan's words were like a knife stabbing into Fu Shiting's heart. He didn't stop there, and stabbed her again at the end, "Or do you take this for granted?

Then in your mind, what is the relationship between us that could give you such an illusion? "

Fu Shiting naturally couldn't answer Yue Wenxuan's question, so she could only lower her head and remain silent.

By this time, Lu Changgen and his wife had basically understood the whole story.

Neither of them had expected that their daughter, who had always been well-behaved and obedient, would actually ask a male classmate for remittance. Their daughter's behavior completely overturned the image of her in their minds.

Just like Yue Wenxuan's questions, which were as sharp as knives, what kind of relationship did this have to make his daughter dare to do this?
Yan Xuejie was filled with shame and anger, and had many questions she wanted to ask her daughter, but now was obviously not the right time. The first thing she had to do was to give Yue Wenxuan an explanation.

Yan Xuejie tried her best to make her smile more friendly, and said in a very sincere tone: "Wenxuan, Auntie really didn't know that Fu Shiting was so ignorant. Here, Auntie first wants to apologize to you."

"Aunt Yan, you are too polite. There is no need for this. After all, we are classmates. Everyone makes mistakes in their youth. Let the past be the past.

I didn't mean anything else. I just felt that since Fu Shiting was getting married soon, it would be better to end things as soon as possible to avoid affecting her reputation.

If the powerful director's family were to misunderstand, it would be a huge blow to Fu Shiting.

After all, this marriage is indeed very rare, and I also hope that Fu will be happy in the future. I don't want her to leave irreparable regrets in her life because of a small mistake made when she was young and ignorant."

Yue Wenxuan's words seemed particularly open-minded and generous, but every sentence was full of directional words such as mistakes and errors. These words made Yan Xuejie feel particularly heartbroken and uncomfortable, but she could not refute them.

She now has a new understanding of Yue Wenxuan. This young man appears to be very polite and gentle on the surface, but he is actually an extremely arrogant person at heart.

Even the way he does things is like this. There is a knife hidden in his politeness, and every word stabs people's hearts, but people cannot and dare not argue with him, and have to apologize to him sincerely.

After expressing her feelings, Yan Xuejie wanted to resolve the matter as soon as possible and asked directly:
"Wenxuan, I think Fu Shiting is confused. She can't even remember how much money she borrowed from others. You should tell me."

“Actually, when it comes to borrowing money, I feel ashamed.

The place where I went to the countryside was the Loess Plateau, where the land was extremely barren and there were only terraced fields that depended on the weather and were difficult to cultivate. After working hard for a year, the little food that could be harvested was not enough to feed people.

The locals are hungry all year round. If there is a famine, they even have to beg for food to barely survive.

The same was true for us educated youth. After working hard for a year, it was still difficult to support ourselves. Like the villagers, we were hungry all year round, and as for savings, we had none.

Fortunately, my parents’ salary is relatively high and they send me some money every few months. I mainly rely on their financial support to keep myself from starving to death.

I learned from her letter that Fu Shiting was having a hard time, so I wanted to do my best to help her. Unfortunately, my ability was limited, and I didn't have much savings, so I could only send her the money my parents sent me.

I felt really ashamed when I heard her say in the letter that the little money I sent her was not enough to completely help her overcome her difficulties.

I can't think of many solutions, and I can only further reduce my food rations. After all, I am a boy, and I can endure any hardship as long as I am not starved to death."

There was not a single word of accusation in Yue Wenxuan's words, but every word was full of accusations. Not only was Fu Shiting ashamed, but Lu Changgen and his wife were also ashamed.

"Fu Shiting doesn't remember how much money I sent her in total, but every penny I sent her is deeply engraved in my heart.

It’s not that I’m stingy, but every time I send money it’s a huge torment for me. I need extremely strong willpower to overcome the desire to have a full meal.

But I want to have a full meal is just a physiological need, I can still get through it if I grit my teeth. And my classmates far away may be in dire straits, maybe with the money I sent, they can get through the difficult times. "

At this point, Yue Wenxuan paused and said, "I clearly remember the amount and time of each sum of money I sent. The total is 328 yuan."

When they heard the number Yue Wenxuan said, Lu Changgen and his wife both looked incredulous.

This figure far exceeded their expectations. They both thought it would not exceed one hundred yuan at most.

According to the time Yue Wenxuan spent in the countryside, he sent his daughter almost one hundred yuan every year. This number was a bit too much, and even they felt that their daughter was a bit too greedy!
Although the Yue family was well off, they had three children who went to the countryside and each of them had to be taken care of. After three or four years, the financial support given to Yue Wenxuan was probably only three or four hundred yuan.

Obviously, all the money must have been borrowed by my daughter!
No wonder Yue Wenxuan was so resentful that he even came to ask for an explanation. If it were them, they would definitely not be able to swallow this.

After knowing this number, Yan Xuejie became even more disappointed with her daughter.

She simply couldn't understand how her daughter got the courage to borrow so much money from a male classmate!
This amount of money is a huge loan, not to mention for an educated youth who was living in poverty, even for working adults like them. If the relationship was not very good, no one would be willing to lend it.

Yue Wenxuan was willing to send money to his daughter again and again under such difficult living conditions. What was the reason that supported him to do so? The answer was clear and everyone could think of it. But when he returned to the city, he got the news that the female classmate he had been thinking about was about to get married. Under such conditions, no matter what he did, it was understandable.

Yan Xuejie sighed in her heart and said sincerely: "Wenxuan, it is because of my negligence that you have fallen into such a predicament. I am deeply sorry for this.

How about this? In addition to returning the principal of 368 yuan you lent me, I will give you some more compensation, just enough to make up the total of 500 yuan.

Although this gift is not much, it is at least a token of our appreciation. I hope you can accept it.

In addition, as Yan Xuejie's mother, I sincerely ask you not to tell this matter to anyone else.

It's not that I'm unkind to make this request, I just don't want to cause any trouble before Shi Ting gets married.

Listening to what you just said, it is clear that you have also considered this. As a mother, I sincerely thank you for this.”

Yan Xuejie was willing to pay nearly two hundred yuan more as compensation, and her intention was quite sincere.

But Yue Wenxuan's purpose was not for this little monetary compensation.

"Aunt Yan, don't worry, since I came to your house today on my own initiative, I don't want to publicize this matter.

Not to mention other people in the yard, I haven't even mentioned this to my parents.

No matter what, Fu Shiting has brought me some good memories, and I still hope she can live a happy life.

All you have to do is return the 3,628 yuan I lent you. There is no need for any compensation.

If I really accepted the compensation you gave me, it would only make me feel that the past was even more unbearable and unworthy.

The torment of hunger and agony that came from struggling between life and death countless times cannot be compensated by money.

But these are my own choices, I don’t blame anyone, I would rather regard it as the price of the pain of youth.”

Yan Xuejie quickly said: "I didn't mean that, I just felt that I had to give you some compensation."

She thought for a moment and then continued, "Using money as compensation is indeed a bit too tacky.

How about this? You still don't have a job when you return to the city, so this matter must be resolved as soon as possible.

There are indeed no job vacancies on the street right now, and there's nothing we can do about it. Our meeting in the morning is not just to get by with you, Auntie.

But your Uncle Lu has a few good friends in other units. If you ask him to owe you a favor, he should be able to find you a job.

Don't worry, the job that your uncle Lu finds for you will definitely not be a street sweeper, which is both humiliating and hard.

It just so happened that he heard from a comrade some time ago that the food factory was looking for a few formal apprentices, so he asked your uncle Lu to contact them, and we should still have hope of getting one of the positions."

Yue Wenxuan smiled and declined: "It's better not to cause so much trouble to Uncle Lu. There is no rush to find a job. I can wait slowly."

Yan Xuejie gritted her teeth. She didn't expect that Yue Wenxuan would be so difficult to deal with. Even with such a good job arranged for him, he couldn't be satisfied. His appetite was really too big.

She could only continue to add: "The workers in the food factory are indeed having a hard time, and it is my aunt who is not considerate enough.

How about this, Auntie has a friend who works in a department store, I will contact her later and see if I can arrange a salesperson position for you?"

Yan Xuejie herself does not have such great power that she can easily assign someone a job as a salesperson in a department store.

If she wants to get this done, she will have to spend at least 1,800 yuan.

To pay such a large sum of money as compensation and to do a great favor, Yan Xuejie's heart was bleeding.

But there was no other way. For the sake of her daughter's marriage, she had to make a prompt decision and satisfy Yue Wenxuan's requirements no matter what.

Yue Wenxuan felt that the time was right. Even if Yan Xuejie was the deputy director of the subdistrict office, it must have been the limit of her ability for her to be able to take on such a position.

He deliberately tried to persuade Yan Xuejie, not for a better job, but just to further raise her psychological expectations so that they could talk about the next things.

"Aunt Yan, you misunderstood me. It's so hard for an educated youth like me who has returned to the city to find a job. Just getting a job is a great blessing. How can I be picky?

But I still don’t want to accept the job of a salesperson. It’s not that I don’t know how to be a good person, but I want to make more contributions to society.”

Yan Xuejie simply stopped talking, and Yue Wenxuan continued, "This is what I think, listen to whether it makes sense.

Recently, more and more educated youth have returned to the city. Although I have just returned, I know that many of them are waiting for a job, but only a few can get what they want, and the vast majority are still unemployed at home.

I was wondering if I could take care of other educated youth while solving my own job problem?

After some hard thinking, I finally came up with a solution.

I have been busy since I was a child, and I have learned some useful knowledge over the years, such as repairing watches, bicycles, radios, electric fans, washing machines, and even refrigerators and televisions. I am quite good at all these.

Since I have such a skill, I thought it would be better to open a repair department for educated youth. While doing the repairs, I can also train a few apprentices. Even if I only recruit three or five apprentices, it can be regarded as making a little contribution to society. "

After hearing Yue Wenxuan's idea, Yan Xuejie's eyes lit up. If this matter could be accomplished, it would be an additional direction to arrange employment for the educated youth in future work.

Now more and more educated youth are returning to the city, and the leaders above have come up with many ways to resettle them. They are definitely supportive of the educated youth making a living on their own.

It should not be difficult to obtain approval from superiors, but the difficult part is to open the shop needed for the maintenance department.
