When the consultant and Jin Ling returned, they were carrying a box of milk candy for each of the educated youth, as well as several cloth coupons. Judging from the size, there was just a little more fabric than needed to make the two children's monk robes.
Seeing this, Miao Qing scoffed.
"You've tried to flatter someone but ended up hurting them!"
Upon hearing her words, Chen Daohui, who had just accepted the milk candy from the consultant, suddenly turned pale.
After glancing at Miao Qing and Chen Daohui, Cao Dajiang took the milk candy and sat down silently in the corner of the educated youth settlement's living room.
Since the town's school closed, all the students have gone home.
These educated youths who went to become teachers were naturally sent back to their villages to continue working in the fields to earn work points to make a living.
But how could the two people who were already used to teaching writing and calligraphy possibly handle such tiring work?
Every time I come back from the fields, I'm so tired that I have no appetite at all.
But if I don't eat, I'll have even less energy to work the next day, so I have to force myself to eat more.
Miao Qing deeply resented the current situation, but she wasn't stupid.
The principal who was studying in the town has already been arrested by the Revolutionary Committee.
If she and Cao Dajiang hadn't been sent to the countryside voluntarily, their actions as teachers probably wouldn't have ended well.
Even so, Miao Qing and Cao Dajiang did not feel lucky that they were simply sent back to their village.
They couldn't adapt to working in the fields, and they were exhausted every day, but because they didn't earn many work points, the food they ate was much worse than others.
The two of them had already separated and were eating on their own when they went to teach in town.
When the two of them return, it will naturally be the same; there's no way to treat them differently.
Working is tiring, the pay is low, and the food is like pig swill.
Seeing the delicious food in other people's bowls, even if they had money, they might not be able to buy it. Therefore, they naturally had a lot of opinions about the other people in the educated youth settlement.
When buying monk robes for the two children of the Fu family, the money and cloth coupons were originally pooled together by everyone at the educated youth settlement.
However, the only two people who didn't contribute money or cloth coupons were Miao Qing and Cao Dajiang.
They were already exhausted from working in the fields, and the work points they earned were so meager that they could barely afford to eat. They would never have the heart to use their hard-earned money to buy gifts for strangers.
Although neither of them spent money to buy the gifts, seeing that the consultant and Jin Ling returned with cloth coupons after giving them gifts, they knew exactly what was going on.
It seems that Jinling and the others are showing their loyalty to the Fu family, but the Fu family has no intention of paying them any attention.
Therefore, when Miao Qing saw Jin Ling's delighted expression, she wished she could go up and scratch Jin Ling's face until it was covered in bruises.
After Miao Qing and Cao Dajiang went to teach in town, Jin Ling's personality gradually became quieter.
Hearing Miao Qing's expression of both jealousy and hatred, he couldn't help but purse his lips.
"Even if I can flatter someone, it's still better than some people who want to flatter someone but don't even know where the horse's legs are."
Jinling glared at her, wondering how stupid she had been back then.
I can't believe I lost to a woman like that! I'm so incredibly upset!
Hearing Jin Ling's retort, the newly arrived educated youth couldn't help but burst out laughing.
However, she quickly covered her mouth, pretending that nothing had happened.
Miao Qing clearly heard the mocking laughter. Her face turned ashen, and she angrily threw the milk candy in her hand to the ground before turning and going inside.
