Chapter 111 Schemes
At this moment, Xia Yi suddenly felt a sense of relief, because Xie Manman and Yang Junqing had already been taken to labor camps.
As for Liu Heping, he now hides in his room and is nowhere to be seen, so he no longer poses a threat to their competition for teaching positions.
In fact, Xia Yi, Liu Xian, and Zheng Haiyang all felt that Shao Guoyang and Li Aiping were not a formidable opponent for them.
After all, they've been in the countryside for so long, they must have forgotten all the knowledge from books, so what can they use to compete with them?
As Xia Yi was thinking this, on her way back to the educated youth settlement, she suddenly heard Liu Xian say, "It seems that Xu Yirou must have known about the news that the school was only recruiting three teachers a long time ago. No wonder she has been reading books whenever she has free time these days."
Xia Yi's face darkened, a cold glint flashing in her eyes: "You're right, Xu Yirou is really too cunning. She's clearly trying to steal our teacher's job!"
In Xia Yi's opinion, it was a perfect coincidence that the school was recruiting three teachers; it was just the right time for the three of them.
If she and Liu Xian were sisters, and she and Zheng Haiyang were boyfriend and girlfriend.
As long as the three of them work together, even the principal assigned from the town will not dare to say anything.
The whole school is governed by their whims, isn't it?
"Xia Yi, why don't you go back and try to get Xu Yirou's opinion and see what she thinks?"
Zheng Haiyang's expression was also not very good.
He knew very well that, generally speaking, Secretary Tong would definitely prefer female comrades to be teachers.
Because women are inherently less adept at farm work than men.
If that's the case, then his competitiveness is definitely not as good as Xu Yirou's.
If I don't get a teaching job, won't I have to go back to the fields to do those exhausting farm chores after spring?
“Okay.” Even without Zheng Haiyang saying it, Xia Yi was already prepared to do so.
After returning to the educated youth settlement, Xia Yi knocked on Xu Yirou's door.
Xu Yirou put down her book, opened the door, and saw Xia Yi. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes: "Xia Zhiqing, is something the matter?"
This Xia Yi, a former educated youth, has always been so arrogant that she disdains to pay attention to them, the older educated youth.
Why did you come to me on your own initiative today?
"Xu Zhiqing, are you reading a book?" Xia Yi glanced at the book that Xu Yirou had spread out on her desk, which was obviously half-read, and a hint of disdain flashed in her eyes.
"That's right, is there something you need?" Xu Yirou asked again, not wanting to waste any more words with her.
"Of course something's wrong."
Xia Yi took a deep breath and asked directly, "Xu Zhiqing, are you planning to apply for a teaching position at the school?"
Xu Yirou nodded without trying to hide it, since she would have to attend the exams anyway, and there was no way to keep it a secret.
"That's right, I'm planning to go."
"Alright then! Xu Zhiqing, I'll give you ten yuan. You can give up applying for the job!" Xia Yi stated her request decisively.
Xu Yirou was taken aback by her matter-of-fact tone: "Ten yuan, and you want me to not go for the job interview?"
“That’s right. The school is only hiring three teachers: me, Liu Xian, and Zheng Haiyang. The three of us are just right, so don’t try to take our spots.” Xia Yi said, taking out ten yuan from her pocket and handing it to Xu Yirou.
Xu Yirou was so angry at her condescending attitude that she laughed, and simply said, "No way."
They just closed the door.
I originally thought Xia Yi was just a bad person, but now it seems she's completely out of her mind.
Xia Yi didn't expect Xu Yirou to refuse so decisively.
He almost got hit in the nose by the door she closed.
"Xu Yirou, what do you mean? Isn't ten yuan enough for you? Don't be so greedy. If you lose to us, you won't even have ten yuan left."
Enraged, she kicked the door hard, but all she got in return was a dull thud and a sharp pain in her toes.
"ah!"
She winced in pain, her hatred for Xu Yirou intensifying.
That despicable person!
Since Xie Manman was arrested, she seems like a completely different person.
She limped back to her room, feeling helpless.
Liu Xian and Zheng Haiyang came forward together: "So, what did Xu Yirou say?"
"That bitch, I offered her money to withdraw from the teacher's application, but she refused. She's absolutely despicable!"
After Xia Yi finished speaking, she gasped again. It seemed like she had hurt her toe when she kicked the door.
"That's outrageous! What right does she have to compete with us? Secretary Tong said she was recruiting three teachers, which is obviously reserved for the three of us. How can she be so shameless!"
As Liu Xian listened to Xia Yi's resentful and bitter rant, a dark glint flashed in her eyes. She said casually, "Xu Yirou seems to be over twenty years old! At her age, she should have been married and had children long ago. If she gets married and pregnant, she probably won't be suitable to be a teacher anymore!"
Xia Yi coldly curled her lip: "Who knows? Maybe she's too arrogant and looks down on the people in the village. Didn't that Yang Junqing always want to date her? She's so proud of herself. Not only did she look down on him, but she even sent him to a labor camp!"
“This Xu Yirou is really too vicious. We absolutely cannot let such a vicious person become a teacher in Bakushu Village, otherwise wouldn’t that be misleading the students?” Liu Xian sighed and said with a worried expression.
"What can we do? We can't force her to get married!" Xia Yi blurted out.
Liu Xian curled the corners of her lips: Why can't we force Xu Yirou to get married? If Xu Yirou accidentally gets her body taken, then whether or not she has to get married will not be her own decision!
There are so many old bachelors in this village of eight trees; they've been eyeing these female educated youth in the educated youth settlement for a long time.
Xu Yirou was able to get away with things in the past because Xie Manman and Yang Junqing were there to support her.
Now that Xie Manman and Yang Junqing have both gone to labor camps, it's only a matter of time before Xu Yirou, being single, is targeted by the old bachelors in the village.
Since that's the case, they might as well give it a push and also eliminate the possibility of Xu Yirou becoming a teacher.
As for the candidate, let's choose one from among Tong Yaozu and Tong Xiaojun!
After Liu Xian made up her mind...
He then subtly began to talk to Xia Yi about how Tong Yaozu and his friends were still single and wanted to get married.
Seeing that Xia Yi was tempted by her words, she smiled with satisfaction.
There are some things that can be done by others, so it's better to stay behind and reap the benefits.
