They originally thought that since they hadn't succeeded in stealing the money, the matter would naturally be resolved peacefully.

But if the theft is successful.

They won't show favoritism.

Today I came to steal from the educated youth; who knows if next time I'll steal from their homes?

This kind of behavior cannot be tolerated.

“Mine is written in the upper right corner,” Gu Yunyang pointed out.

Yang Shengnan quickly pointed out, "Mine is slightly below the center, below the portrait. I wrote it on every single one."

She added at the end that she had marked every single bill of her own money.

Such an obvious mark, everyone has eyes, everyone has seen it.

Although most people are illiterate, and literacy classes have been held, almost no one is willing to go.

If we're all farming in the fields, what's the point of learning to read?

But today, Gu Yunyang and Yang Shengnan taught them a lesson.

Being able to read and mark one's own money can have such a useful purpose.

Gu Hanping's face was grim. In the upper right corner of the large ten-yuan note, Gu Yunyang's name was indeed written.

He's the brigade leader; it's impossible that he doesn't know how to read.

Otherwise, many things cannot be done.

The rest of the money was written with Yang Shengnan's name in the lower middle position.

This happened in his brigade, especially in the villages under his jurisdiction.

Once this is publicized, the outstanding members of the brigade this year will not be eligible for the evaluation.

Although their brigade's farmland and grain yield were not as high as other brigades, they were not originally eligible for the award.

Being excluded outright is one thing, but failing to be selected in the competition is another.

Besides, Gu Yunyang is his nephew.

He can't let Gu Ergou, who dared to steal Gu Yunyang's money, get away with it.

Moreover, Gu Yunyang had previously mentioned that he had brought over a thousand yuan with him.

"Where did you hide the rest of your money?" Gu Hanping asked coldly.

Gu Ergou still wanted to put up a stubborn resistance, but the facts were right in front of him. Widow Liu sat on the ground and wailed, "Dad, you left us so early, leaving us to be bullied."

If it weren't for your reminder back then, the whole village would have been buried...

They're all ungrateful wretches, letting outsiders bully my daughter and me.

Gu Yunyang frowned. According to Widow Liu, Gu Ergou's father had done a good deed back then and saved the whole village.

Then this matter can't be blown up any further.

But the lessons that need to be taught cannot be omitted.

Gu Hanping's expression was also not good. Gu Ergou's father had indeed given the village a warning back then.

Although everyone was on guard at the time, without his reminder, several businesses might have suffered.

This is indeed true; Gu Ergou's father received the village's gratitude back then.

Over the years, the village has taken good care of their family.

Unfortunately, Gu Ergou was spoiled.

A doting mother often spoils her son.

Just look at Widow Liu and Ning An, the second sister-in-law; that's enough to prove it.

Gu Chang'an wasn't exactly a saint either.

The problem now is that she brought it up again, which puts me in a difficult position.

The village still owes them some thanks.

Gu Yunyang sneered: "Widow Liu, what you're saying might be true."

But what does this have to do with us educated youth?

Could it be that Gu Ergou's father saved us educated youth?

If you're trying to mess things up and make trouble, I'm telling you, that won't work.

At worst, I'll go to the town and report it to the police.

Are you judging me by my appearance, thinking I'm too scared to go?

The villagers were taken aback; it seemed to be true.

They were expected to feel indebted, but the educated youth hadn't felt any gratitude and didn't need to consider these things at all.

But the Liu family did indeed help them.

So they could only look at Gu Hanping: "Captain, what Widow Liu said makes sense."

"Reason? Reason my ass!" Gu Hanping roared. "I admit that Gu Ergou's father did give us a heads-up back then, but we had already noticed it and even moved our things out. You families who sleep soundly deserve our gratitude, but over the years, who in the village hasn't helped them out? Otherwise, how could those two lazybones, Widow Liu and Gu Ergou, have survived to this day?"
