Third Brother Zhao glanced at the crowd and declared in a resounding voice, "These were my father's duties as a team leader. He worked hard to develop Qiyang Village. He treated the villagers wholeheartedly, considering them more important than our own family. He never complained or regretted anything, but dozens of days of his hard work were wiped out by a selfish sentence from someone with ulterior motives. We can't blame anyone, it's just that Dad was the team leader. No matter how well he did, there would always be people who didn't accept it. I, Third Brother Zhao, declare again that I have never asked for a worker-peasant-soldier quota. Even if I did, I would fight for it openly and honorably."
Surprisingly, He Wenyan was the first educated youth to speak up for the team leader. "The team leader is dedicated and hands-on. There are very few people who can hold his position. Furthermore, the previous team leader approached me and wanted to give the spots to me and Gu Yarou, but I declined. However, the team leader, Wanwan, and some other members discussed two methods: voting or exams. So there's no favoritism towards one's own son. From the beginning, Third Brother Zhao, his biological son, was never even considered by the team leader."
Gu Yarou felt very uncomfortable when she heard the other party call her "Wanwan". When had He Wenyan ever called Gu Wanwan so gently? In the past, he either called her Gu Wanwan or called her Comrade Gu in a distant tone. What was he trying to do by calling her Gu Wanwan now?
In order to gain favor with her destined man, she forced a smile and said, "Wen Yan is right. The team leader did want to give me a spot. But I felt that the other educated villagers needed it more, so I didn't accept the team leader's kindness. Shuyan and my cousin both know about this."
He Shuyan nodded, but Xu Luoxue was annoyed. "It's just a quota. Do some female educated youth have to sell their innocence to get it?"
Yu Cuihua looked like she had just heard some incredible scandal and pointed at the team leader with a smug look on her face. "I never knew Zhao Guoming was such a playboy, having affairs with so many female educated youth. It's obvious he's just a phony. A team leader who's been cheating on us is definitely not for us."
Without waiting for Zhao Guoming to explain, the female educated youths rushed over, surrounded Zhou Tianfu and beat him up. "Zhou Tianfu, how dare you lie to us, saying you're the team leader's son-in-law and that all the quotas are yours! And you're trying to cheat us out of our money and food!"
"In fact, the captain didn't even acknowledge you as his son-in-law. He even didn't want his daughter, Zhao Simei. You're a philandering liar. I trusted you so much, but in the end, you never even considered giving us the spot."
"Yesterday he was sweet-talking me, asking me to be patient, but now he's snatching food from me. A gigolo is a liar. He has a job at a state-owned restaurant, yet he's still thinking about my little melons and two dates. I've saved so much just to get a job. God knows how long I haven't had a full meal. Isn't your Zhao Simei the captain's daughter? Didn't she feed you well?"
He Yuanwei and Chen Jiali mocked her, "Zhao Simei returned home to beg for money, but she was still kicked out by her parents. We tried to persuade her, but you deserved to be deceived by Zhou Tianfu. The captain is so pitiful, raising such an ungrateful and ungrateful daughter. His entire reputation has been ruined by Zhao Simei."
With the villagers leading the way, the female educated youth still had some sense and did not make their innocence public. They did not accuse Zhou Tianfu of taking advantage of them and cheating them for food.
After the female educated youths came forward to expose the matter, the leaders finally understood the culprit.
"You are talking nonsense. It is obvious that you are the ones who are harassing my Tianfu because you think he is handsome and want to steal my girl away."
