Even if they coveted the cloth, they didn't have any cloth coupons, and they finally had a chance.
Nobody wants to give up.
They might go to the supply and marketing cooperative themselves, and they might not find anyone selling defective cloth even once in a hundred trips.
And even if they did, it wouldn't be their turn.
We can't compete with them.
Besides, these few bolts of cloth are said to be defective, but they only have such minor flaws that people who don't know much about fabrics can't even tell whether they're defective or not.
But Gu Yunyang was right; even if they went against their conscience, they couldn't bring themselves to deny it.
What Gu Yunyang did was something they couldn't do.
That Gu Changhong doesn't even look at what he has.
Even when working in the fields, they would shirk their responsibilities and avoid doing any work.
He deliberately injured himself, just because he didn't want to work in the fields.
If she had Gu Yunyang's abilities, they would be willing to do it too.
If you're not capable, don't talk nonsense.
"Secretary Gu, we all believe in you."
"That's right, Secretary Gu, we all know about your contributions to our Red Flag Brigade."
Hearing what her aunts said, Gu Changhong blushed.
It felt like I'd been slapped; it was red and swollen.
Gu Changhong was furious: "You, I'm trying to help you!"
However, her good intentions were not appreciated by the aunties.
"You've got to be kidding me."
"Don't you even know who you are? Someone like you wants to be our brigade secretary?"
"If she comes to lead us, we'll probably be starving next year."
"That's right, they don't know anything and they're always trying to avoid the important things."
"He's wearing a sling, isn't he just trying to avoid work? With something like that, he still wants to be the brigade secretary? He really doesn't even look in the mirror before he goes out."
"Maybe it's because there's no mirror, so I don't know what I look like."
"If there's no mirror, just take a piss; surely there will be some urine left?"
Rural women are no less capable in their fighting spirit.
Gu Changhong was speechless after she only managed to say one sentence.
Tears started falling without me even realizing it.
"Tch, we're not those stinky men. You think we'll feel sorry for you just because you peed a couple of times?"
"Exactly, those female educated youths all look like vixens. They're not here to support rural development; they're here to seduce men in the countryside."
Each sentence he spoke made Gu Changhong and Shi Junyao turn pale.
Gu Yunyang quickly stopped him, saying, "You can't say that. Not all female educated youth were bad. Didn't Han and Yang work diligently every day?"
"That's right."
"Secretary Gu is right."
Although the older women felt that Han Xue hadn't done much, Yang Shengnan still earned six work points every day by working in the fields.
Although I also competed with them for work points and tasks.
But they did think Yang Shengnan was pretty good.
Gu Yunyang then seized the opportunity to say, "See, do you think what I said makes sense?"
Our brigade leaders are very dedicated and willing to help everyone. For example, with this defective fabric, when I encountered it, I even paid out of my own pocket to buy it for everyone first.
Don't you agree?
Although they didn't know what Gu Yunyang was going to say, they all nodded and said, "Yes."
"Secretary Gu, thank you so much."
Anyway, three bolts of cloth are a hundred meters long.
Gu Yunyang pressed on, saying, "Our brigade cadres also have families. If we work diligently, we are also contributing to the brigade."
But what Gu Changhong just said means that our brigade cadres have to ask their families to avoid suspicion. Wouldn't that make our families feel very wronged?
Why should we always give up any benefits we can get?
