Gu Yunyang did not answer, but looked at the newcomers.

Some of them were villagers, and they brought their children with them.

The others are Yang Shengnan and her group.

Of course, Shi Junyao, Gu Changhong, and Fang Xinmei also came because they were hungry.

However, neither of them spoke at this moment, unsure of what to say, and wanting to see Gu Yunyang's attitude.

Gu Yunyang asked bluntly, "What does 'village' mean?"

She glanced at the group of women, though he usually played the magnanimous, good cop.

But Gu Yunyang isn't incapable of playing the bad cop.

"And who isn't from the village? These are all from the brigade."

The women said dismissively, "Isn't the primary school in that brigade run by our brigade itself? Besides, all the children in the brigade are our own children. So naturally, the teacher has to be one of our own people too."

Gu Yunyang was so angry at her taking it for granted that he laughed.

That's why there's a saying: "Every pitiful person has something hateful about them."

You can't reason with an ignorant person no matter what you say.

Some people are so short-sighted that they can only see what's in front of them.

Or perhaps they don't have children of school age themselves, so they feel that getting the teaching position they have now, with its eighteen yuan a month, is more appropriate?

Gu Yunyang, of course, wouldn't comply with their wishes: "I'm just following the rules and regulations. Besides, the brigade's school is naturally under the brigade headquarters' control."

In addition, the educated youth had already gone to the countryside and their household registrations had been transferred, so they were now part of the production brigade.

how?

"Are you trying to create division? Are you disobeying the policies assigned from above?"

That statement is a bit harsh.

The aunties were also somewhat frightened.

But for the sake of profit, they still mustered up the courage to say it for eighteen yuan a month.

"Secretary Gu, that's not how it's said."

Those educated youth who went to the countryside have already taken away countless work points from us.

I won't talk about Han Xue from before..."

As she spoke, she looked at Gu Yunyang with a very ambiguous, even slightly disgusting, smile, and then looked back at Han Xue.

Han Xue frowned; if Yang Shengnan hadn't held her back, she would have lost her temper.

Who is this person?

"But you can't give away all the benefits. Those who know remember that you, Secretary Gu, are a sent-down youth from the capital. Those who don't might think you..."

"What do you think I am?"

Gu Yunyang wasn't angry at all. He really couldn't get angry at a few ignorant women who only cared about their own interests.

That's just making yourself angry.

At worst, we can find this aunt some work for her later.

Perfect timing, Ning An, who's carrying manure, needs a partner.

"I don't know..."

"What nonsense are you spouting!"

Gu Hanping arrived just in time and gave a reprimand.

The women became much more afraid of Gu Hanping.

Many things that he dared to say to Gu Yunyang, he wouldn't dare to say to Gu Hanping.

Gu Hanping looked around and glared at the group, saying, "What's wrong with Han Xue? Wasn't she making milk tablets? Weren't they meant for your children and your elderly relatives? What did Secretary Gu gain from that?"

"Then Han Xue doesn't need to work in the fields either," the aunt muttered.

Gu Hanping gestured for Han Xue to come forward. Once she was there, Gu Hanping continued, "Come on, tell me what you need to say. If you can do what Han Xue does, then you can do it. Do you understand the baking stuff? We've already given you all the benefits, and Han Xue doesn't even get many work points a day. What? You expect her to do it for you for free?"

Gu Hanping was genuinely angry, and his tone was serious and even stern: "What's wrong? Should I let you run the entire brigade headquarters?"
