"Mom, you've already become a literacy class teacher, why did you resign?"
"You're not here today?"
Huang Xiaomin pursed his lips. Of course he was there.
But he was angry.
He's just one step away from taking office today.
"What's the pity? It doesn't matter who teaches. Besides, it's Gu Qing who teaches, so it's the same whether she does it or I do it."
Grandma Wu genuinely wasn't very interested in this job; she'd rather just talk to those pigs and have some peace and quiet.
Pigs can't talk, and they're simple-minded. Besides sleeping and eating, they can't say anything right or wrong.
Gu Qing blushed slightly. Although she was embarrassed, she still tried her best to promise that she would teach well.
On the other side, in the educated youth compound.
"Why should a brat be the teacher of a literacy class?"
"Because they teach better than you."
Luo Chao rolled his eyes, but his expression remained unchanged as he angrily confronted Zhang Jian.
People with absolutely no skills but who shout the loudest all day long, what kind of people are they?
"What did you say!"
"I'll say it again, it's because others taught you better than you. Otherwise, why can't everyone remember what you taught, but only what Gu Qing taught?"
Before Zhang Jian could even reach Luo Chao's side, he saw two people standing behind Luo Chao. He compared his own physique with the difference in numbers between them.
Zhang Jian angrily kicked the stool away and left.
Where is he going?
"Who knows? Where he goes, what he does, what's it to us?"
Zhang Jian ran wildly out of the educated youth compound until his legs gave way and he could no longer run. He then sat down and leaned against a large tree.
My chest felt like it was on fire, and my throat was dry and sore.
"cousin?"
Hearing the sound, I turned around and found someone standing behind me.
"Li Fang?"
What are you doing here?
The two said it at the same time. After the initial shock, Li Fang pouted and said, "It's all because of my mother. She said that going to the countryside would not only settle me down but also save the family money. That's why she sent me to this godforsaken place."
After speaking, seeing Zhang Jian's unwell expression, she couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with you?"
"By the way, cousin, which village did you work in during the Cultural Revolution?"
"Shanyao Village! That village, the whole village is full of unruly mountain folk."
"What's wrong? Everyone in the village is like this."
“Aren’t there literacy classes being held recently? The village secretary of Shanyao Village organized two competitions to select teachers for the literacy classes.”
Looking at Zhang Jian's sharply defined profile, a hint of adoration flashed in Li Fang's eyes. "Then it must be that my cousin has become a teacher."
Zhang Jian held his breath, "It wasn't me, it was a female educated youth."
"A female educated youth? What's her name?" A hint of wariness flashed in Li Fang's eyes.
"What was her name again... Gu, Gu Qing, I guess."
Gu Qing!
Li Fang jumped up, her voice, which she had been trying to soften by pinching her throat, suddenly became shrill.
"Gu Qing!"
Zhang Jian was puzzled. "What's wrong with you?"
Li Fang's expression twisted for a moment, but then, looking at the person she liked in front of her, she still tried to put on a smile.
But the mixture of jealousy and a half-smile created a terrifying expression on his face.
Zhang Jian unconsciously shifted his buttocks back a little.
"It's nothing. I just feel that with my cousin's talent, how could he be overshadowed by a shameless woman?"
As he said this, Zhang Jian suddenly had something to say, "It wasn't originally her, it was an old woman. If I hadn't used some tricks, it wouldn't have been Gu Qing's turn."
"Old woman?" Why is everything about her related to women?
A face suddenly flashed into Li Fang's mind, and she hissed, "Is it a woman surnamed Wu?"
"That's right."
Li Fang let out a cold laugh, "Cousin, the reason Gu Qing can act so powerfully now is because this old woman surnamed Wu is pulling the strings behind the scenes."
I came here to suffer, and in less than half a year I became skin and bones. Why is Gu Qing living so comfortably and now she's even a teacher in a literacy class?
Time and again, it was that old woman surnamed Wu who helped Gu Qing. As long as she was brought down, Gu Qing would have no one to back her up, and she would see if she could be better than Gu Qing!
A glint of darkness flashed in Li Fang's eyes.
"Why don't you focus on taking down that old woman surnamed Wu first? That way, you won't have anything to worry about with Gu Qing, and the literacy class teacher will be yours to keep."
Zhang Jian clapped his hands, "Yes."
You can sit at home and something bad may happen to you.
Old Mrs. Wu stayed quietly between her home and the pigsty, and didn't even visit the village secretary's house during this time.
Even so, rumors still inexplicably began to circulate in the village.
Old Mrs. Wu had little contact with the villagers. She found it strange that her son and daughter-in-law, who worked in the fields, would come home looking gloomy every day.
"What's wrong with you?"
Huang Xiaoqiang forced a smile. "It's nothing, it's just hot, I had a bit of heatstroke."
Grandma Wu craned her neck to look, but the sky was overcast and there was no sun.
It's been raining these past few days, and it's been raining very early every morning. I hope I caught a cold from getting caught in the rain.
No, no.
Seeing their stammering, Old Mrs. Wu frowned. "What's wrong? Is there something you can't tell me?"
After looking at this, Li Jin'e looked at that, then at that, and said, "Mom, I'll tell you soon."
"It's the villagers talking about you, and Dad too."
This has absolutely nothing to do with anything.
Huang Mancang has been in Shanyao Village for so long, and she has never seen him before. How could they be together?
"What are you talking about?"
Li Jin'e recalled what she heard those people say in the field, her face full of resentment, "On the first day Dad came, his hand was wrapped in gauze, and his complexion was not good."
“They said that Dad was taking the blame for Mom. It should have been Mom who was in the cowshed and undergoing reform. She was also the one who was labeled a monster. Mom was enjoying a good life outside while Dad was suffering in the cowshed.”
"They also said that the village party secretary's whole family had been bribed by you, otherwise we would all be in the cowshed, how could we still be living a normal life. I'm too embarrassed to say any of the nasty things they said."
After saying that, he glanced at Old Lady Wu's expression.
Old Mrs. Wu's usually calm lips suddenly curled up slightly, and everyone heard a soft laugh and subconsciously looked over.
"So that's what it is?"
His tone was casual, and with a slight lift of his eyelids, he swept his gaze over the faces of the four Huang brothers and their two daughters-in-law. "Don't worry about what you hear. Just focus on doing your jobs well and don't give people any excuses to talk about you."
"We understand, Mom."
Since Old Mrs. Wu went back into her house, no one has seen her come out again.
The next day at noon, a large group of people arrived at the village entrance, and the villagers who were about to finish work were suddenly stunned.
Upon closer inspection, they even discovered several men dressed in police uniforms.
The villagers were startled, and someone immediately went to call the village secretary.
Looking at the old woman Wu next to the police officer, Zhang Jian's eyes flashed, and he quietly hid at the back of the crowd.
