Wealth can be very tempting.
This sentence echoed in Gu Yunyang's mind countless times.
He originally thought that since he had received royalties, he would definitely be a trendsetter.
The members of the Red Flag Brigade are definitely all secretly hoping to write articles and earn money from them.
But that was done in secret.
If I were to write honestly and openly, wouldn't it be embarrassing if I didn't get paid for it?
This is very likely.
After all, the vast majority of people in this world don't receive payment for their writing.
Gu Yunyang hadn't expected that these people were self-aware enough to know that what they wrote was utter garbage and would never be published.
So they're all blocking the door, hoping he'll pass on his secret techniques.
Where would Gu Yunyang get that ability?
People say that even a clever housewife can't cook without rice.
The villagers ranged in age from their thirties and forties to those just starting primary school.
Most of them couldn't even recognize all the characters, yet they wanted him to teach them secret techniques, promising to teach them everything they needed to learn, in order to help them get paid for their writings.
Because this is the "duty" of the brigade secretary.
Gu Hanping said a couple of fair words, but was immediately cut off by Thirteenth Aunt: "Captain, don't say that. I passed by your house last night and heard you say that you wanted your third son to write the article, and that if he didn't know how, he would come and ask Secretary Gu for help. What, your family can come, but mine can't?"
Gu Yunyang then realized that the culprit was right there.
Thirteen and the others must have been inspired by Gu Hanping's words.
So today, a large crowd gathered and blocked the entrance to the educated youth settlement, all for this reason.
They were afraid that their voices carried little weight and that Gu Yunyang wouldn't agree.
Gu Hanping's face turned bright red, as if he had been slapped across the face and was about to swell up.
He thought to himself, "How can that be the same? My family are our own people, and yours are all outsiders."
Unfortunately, this reason cannot be given.
Gu Yunyang was unwilling to acknowledge Gu Hansheng and Ning An.
Gu Yunyang wouldn't mind lending a hand to the others.
But I would never get myself involved.
So, for a moment, Gu Hanping didn't know what to say.
Gu Yunyang sighed inwardly; being a brigade leader wasn't so easy.
Of course, the same goes for his brigade secretary.
He had previously confronted Gu Ergou, so he wasn't entirely devoid of authority.
But it's not easy to deal with these middle-aged women who are single-mindedly focused on making money.
"It's not impossible for me to teach you."
Gu Yunyang suddenly had a thought.
As soon as he said that, everyone, including Thirteenth Aunt, got excited.
Judging from their appearance, it seemed as if money was already beckoning to them.
It's as if the royalties will arrive at their homes any second now.
Gu Yunyang said, "However, even if I'm willing to teach, there also needs to be someone willing to learn."
"Of course we'd be willing."
“That’s right, who wouldn’t want money?” Thirteenth Aunt patted her chest and assured him confidently.
Judging from the looks of it, it seems that the matter has been completed.
Next month, their family will receive tens or hundreds of yuan in royalties.
Gu Yunyang only took forty yuan?
He'd only written two articles, hadn't he?
They keep people locked up at home, making them write two articles a day, and they don't even earn a hundred yuan a month?
That's nothing.
Gu Yunyang smiled and said, "You know your own situation."
Gu Yunyang looked at the group of men standing not far away—well, let's just call them men for now.
People range from six years old to their thirties or forties.
A group of people watched Gu Yunyang as if he were watching a play.
They had no idea that they were just watching the show and enjoying the spectacle.
