Wang Huilian rushed to Liu Changshan and couldn't help complaining, "Village Chief, what is there that we are not sure about in our family's situation?"
"Not only can we give the educated youth a whole empty room after the New Year and the beginning of spring, but even now we have a big kang in our house that can accommodate them all. Isn't that possible?"
Old Man Shen stood by in silence and did not intend to stop Wang Huilian. After all, she said what Old Man Shen was embarrassed to say.
In response to Wang Huilian's questioning, Liu Changshan simply said, "How many things have happened in your family this winter? You've been fighting or quarreling all day long. How can I feel comfortable leaving someone in your house?"
"Besides, there's a paralyzed person at home. How embarrassing it would be to have outsiders see me wiping shit and urine?"
When Wang Huilian heard Liu Changshan mention his mother-in-law, she immediately ignored the village chief's previous words about the war: "My mother-in-law has moved to our room a long time ago, and now I am the one who takes care of her. Besides, they are all women, so what are they afraid of?"
"Don't the city people have sick parents? If they despise them just because of this, then all the years of studying have gone to waste?"
Wang Huilian talked about filial piety, and Liu Changshan didn't know how to refute it for a while.
Finally, he could only perfunctorily say, "Okay, I've noted down your family's situation. Some people haven't said anything yet, so let them finish first."
People from other families pushed Wang Huilian aside and began to introduce their own families' situations.
Old Man Shen and his wife Shen Chunshu moved aside and began to discuss countermeasures.
Old man Shen stroked the pipe in his hands with both hands, and turned his back to others and whispered to Wang Huilian: "Wait until everyone else has finished speaking. If our family is not chosen, you can make a fuss as much as you want."
"No matter how hard you try, you have to fight for a spot for our family."
"And I want girls. The more the better. I want all three to come to our family."
Shen Chunshu also nodded frequently.
He and his father are both grown men and they have to maintain their reputation in the village.
But Wang Huilian is a middle-aged woman, and she has no face in the village because of Hongmei's incident last time. She might as well cheat and get a place!
Wang Huilian said solemnly that she could.
She thought about more. Besides wanting to deduct some food, she also had her eyes on other things from the female educated youth.
These girls from the city come to this remote place like theirs, so their families have to give them some money, tickets, etc.
When we live together, we can at least have some fun, right?
The three of them hit it off immediately.
After everyone had finished speaking, they all looked at Liu Changshan with anticipation, waiting for him to announce the results.
Liu Changshan thought about it for a long time and finally began to allocate places for educated youth to the few families who stayed behind one by one.
First, there were two male educated youth, and these two were the easiest to assign.
The family whose name was mentioned was overjoyed.
But there is no Shen family.
But this made Old Man Shen feel relieved.
If the village chief arranged for a male educated youth to live in their home, he really wouldn't want it.
But if he firmly said no and only wanted the female educated youth, people would inevitably gossip about him behind his back.
At this time, the male educated youth were directly assigned to other families, which saved Old Man Shen from having to waste his breath again.
But as for the subsequent assignment of the female educated youth, as neither of the two assigned female educated youth was assigned to the Shen family, old man Shen began to get anxious.
He anxiously winked at Wang Huilian, asking her to hurry up, because if the last one didn't belong to their family, they would not be able to get it.
Wang Huilian also knew that if she didn't make a fuss now, she might not have another chance later.
He simply threw himself on the kang next to Liu Changshan, and began to wail like he was dying: "Village Chief, can you please have mercy on our family?"
"Ever since that little bastard Shen Siyue extorted so much food from us, we have been tightening our belts every day. Now we are starving to death!"
"You were the one who signed the agreement in the first place. You can't just ignore it, right? Our Shen family has been working honestly in the village. There is no one more diligent than us. Why don't you choose our family as the last educated youth?"
"I've thought it through. Let the men sleep in the east room, and we women will sleep in one room. It will be convenient for the female educated youth."
"When Chen Siyue moves out in the spring of next year, we will give the small east room to the educated youth. Look how good this is? Why don't you choose our house? Okay?"
Seeing her making such a fuss and trouble the village chief, the other families who had not yet received their shares became unhappy and went up to Liu Changshan to complain.
Wang Huilian knew very well that in order to win the educated youth, in addition to impressing the village chief, eliminating all other competitors was also a way.
Then he didn't care about his face anymore, sat on the ground, slapped his thigh and howled at the person next to him: "Our family has been treated like this, and you still want to fight with us?"
"Hasn't the Hongmei incident made you laugh enough? I know that every one of you has taunted our family behind our backs."
"My daughter was almost beaten to death by her husband when she got home, and you guys won't let us go? Do you want to fight with us even for such a small matter?"
Her nonsense stunned everyone in the room.
We are talking about the educated youth now, why is this woman bringing up Hongmei's affairs?
What does it have to do with adopting educated youth?
But Wang Huilian didn't care about that. People had laughed at her family in the past, so she should be compensated now.
What Wang Huilian said next was even more infuriating: "If my family doesn't get selected, I will go to the house of whoever gets selected. I mean what I say!"
Some people were immediately dissatisfied and shouted at Liu Changshan: "Village head, are you going to do anything about this? Isn't this nonsense?"
Liu Changshan was also very angry: "Get rich, do you care about your family members?"
Although Old Man Shen felt that Wang Huilian's messy words did not achieve the effect he expected and was somewhat dissatisfied, he still shamelessly excused himself: "I can talk about her for a while, but not for a lifetime!"
"If they don't have food to eat and something happens, it's not something I, a person buried in the ground, can do anything about!"
After Old Man Shen finished speaking, he lowered his head and stood still, which meant that he also refused to listen to his daughter-in-law and there was nothing he could do.
Seeing that Old Man Shen was starting to act like a rogue, the other people in the room rolled their eyes.
I saw someone dragging his family members out: "Let's go, let's go, we don't want it anymore, it's not worth it."
The people of the Shen family are like dog-skin plasters. If you get involved with them, you might not only lose your food, but also get yourself into trouble.
Seeing that some people had left, the remaining people began to waver in their hearts as they looked at Wang Huilian who was sitting on the ground and acting like a rogue.
After a while, the other families withdrew, leaving only the Shen family.
