“Zhong, what are you saying? Director Wei said that it was because the educated youth compound was full that the three of you were put in the backyard where the tractors are parked!”
"That was clearly a benefit for all of us educated youth. How did it become shameless for other educated youth to live there?"
"Your awareness is unacceptable. Aren't you just openly trying to take advantage of the farm and all the educated youth?"
When Tang Zixuan said that, the other former educated youth in the educated youth compound also got excited.
Who wouldn't want to live in a house with bluestone tiles? It's clean and spacious. If you add a couple more heated kang beds, you can house quite a few people!
The former educated youth responded enthusiastically:
"What Tang said is true. Director Wei clearly said that our educated youth compound was too crowded, and the space allocated to our educated youth compound became the space for the three of you?"
"We're all educated youth, so why do you three get to eat and take more than your share and live in such a nice place by yourself?"
"That's right, everyone should live together. And how can they be so shameless, with three such spacious stone rooms!"
...
Hearing everyone condemning Zhong Wanwan, Bai Yueyao timely remarked tactfully:
“Zhong, we educated youths live together, so we can look after each other, and we can also split the cost of building the courtyard wall. Why not?”
"Come on, let's go back to the house to get our luggage and keep Zhong Zhiqing and her two siblings company!"
As she spoke, Bai Yueyao was about to go inside to get her luggage and reserve a spot. Her plan was that once she reserved a spot, no one could kick her out!
Zhong Wanwan wasn't going to get entangled with Tang Zixuan and Bai Yueyao. If she refuted them, she would be falling into the self-justifying trap they had set for themselves.
Whether she wins or loses the argument, she will still be branded as someone who takes more than she deserves.
This reputation is terrible these days. Tang Zixuan is really malicious, trying to undermine socialism by pushing his three siblings to the brink!
Zhong Wanwan asked Director Wei directly:
"Director Wei, were you saying that the three of us could stay in the backyard where the tractors are parked?"
"From what Tang Zhiqing is saying, how does listening to you mean we're taking advantage of others?"
"Does Tang Zhiqing mean to say that you let us take more than our share? Or are you saying that you are engaging in favoritism and corruption?"
"No way, isn't Tang Zhiqing deliberately setting Wei Changzhang up a trap?"
Originally, Director Wei hadn't thought about it too deeply, only that Tang Zixuan's involvement in mobilizing so many former educated youths meant this matter was going to be tricky.
If all else fails, he'll have to let the three educated youths, Zhong and his companion, suffer for now, and then he'll find another place to settle them later.
When Zhong Zhiqing reminded him, Director Wei suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. Zhong Zhiqing had listened to him and wanted to move to the backyard where the tractors were parked.
Since the three educated youths have been successfully framed, he can't escape either!
If a farm manager openly engages in favoritism and malpractice, won't his term be over?
He agreed with Tang Zhiqing's suggestion that they should all move there instead of continuing the work indefinitely.
He's so inconsistent with his words, he'll lose all his authority in the future!
Tang, the educated youth, was openly setting traps for Zhong, the educated youth, but wasn't he secretly trying to frame him?
Farm Manager Wei's eyes darkened. Along the way, Tang and Bai, the two educated youths, had been challenging his authority. He suspected that they were spies sent by people in the farm who wanted to take his position. It has to be said that Farm Manager Wei was now conspiring.
Director Wei gave Tang Zixuan and Bai Yueyao a deep look; he remembered these two educated youths. Then, Director Wei shouted:
"Who said the backyard where the tractors are parked was for all the educated youth in the educated youth compound? How dare you be so shameless! What outstanding contributions have you made to the farm that you're making demands of me!"
Many disgruntled former educated youth raised questions:
"Then why should the three educated youths, Zhong, be given a place to live? We didn't make any contribution, but these three new educated youths did?"
