At this time, if Zhao Xianglan bowed her head and apologized to Zhang Xiaohui, although she might not be able to obtain forgiveness, it could at least ease the anger in the girl's heart.
But she was so proud, as if she was not a victim.
"Zhao Zhiqing, don't leave yet, let's talk about compensation." Cheng Yunan stopped him.
"Compensation? Didn't Zhang Zhiqing just say that we are...even!" Zhao Xianglan said with gritted teeth, and the look she gave Cheng Yunan was like poison.
Damn bitch, it has come to this, can't she just let me go, she must embarrass me before she can feel proud.
"Even? It's not enough that you've ruined Zhang Xiaohui for two years, you also caused her to lose the money she made from sewing hairpins.
Also, before that, Zhang Zhiqing took care of you for the entire winter, and even the landlords didn’t mistreat you as much as you did.
Zhao Zhiqing, you are even more cruel than the landlord. I think from now on, don’t call me Zhao Zhiqing anymore. Just call me Zhao Ba Pi!”
Zhao Xianglan was so angry that she was about to fall down. She gritted her teeth and squeezed out every word as if from between her teeth. "Cheng Yunan, how on earth do you want to let me go?"
She just wanted to hide in the house as soon as possible, take a nap, and forget everything that happened today.
"Compensation! Didn't I just say that Zhang Zhiqing has done so many things for you, you can't really take it for granted that you are a young lady.
Your ideological awareness is not enough. I think you should go to the back village house for ideological transformation."
There is a separate house in the back village, which is used specifically for ideological transformation.
Writing big-character posters and criticizing others had to be done there. If one's ideological awareness was not high enough, like those who lived in the cowshed in the past few years, they would be taken there for ideological transformation.
Later, Lu Weimin didn't want to be the villain, so he cancelled the matter and just pretended that the cowshed didn't exist.
But now Cheng Yunan brought it up again, and Lu Weimin nodded in approval.
I think this is a good idea.
Thinking only about harm is a sign of poor ideological education.
The time when Zhao Xianglan came to the countryside from the city was the most turbulent years, so she saw the most movement.
Once they were sent to study, they were labeled reactionaries, and were required to wear placards, parade through the streets, be criticized, fly planes, and have their heads shaved...
Her scalp tingled at the thought.
"Cheng Yunan, this is between me and Zhang Xiaohui, why do you, an outsider, have to interfere?"
"Who said Nan Nan is an outsider? She will be my good sister from now on. What she said is what I want to say. Hurry up, Zhao Xianglan, and pay the money."
"How much?"
Cheng Yunan turned around and looked at Zhang Xiaohui inquiringly.
Zhang Xiaohui was confused, "What, what?" She had never thought about compensation, so she was still in shock.
Cheng Yunan let out a long sigh, and warned himself not to argue with such a fool. He asked calmly, "She is asking how much compensation you want?"
"Oh, then how about..." Zhang Xiaohui racked her brains and felt that she had not suffered any hardship. She had long forgotten the cold eyes of the villagers. As for plotting against her, she had fought back today, so she would have to show some courtesy.
He raised a finger.
Cheng Yunan nodded with satisfaction. "Well, one hundred yuan, I think it's quite appropriate!"
One, one hundred!
No, she doesn't have such a big appetite. She thought that paying ten dollars would be enough.
"One hundred yuan, Zhang Xiaohui, you must be crazy about money."
"No, the place behind the village..."
However, ideological transformation will be recorded in the educated youth’s file, which will affect her future return to the city and work.
Zhao Xianglan looked angry and said, "Okay, I'll give it to you!"
"Don't just talk, let's settle this matter in front of everyone today!" Cheng Yunan said coldly.
Then Zhao Xianglan went back to the house angrily, took out a thick stack of money and threw it into Zhang Xiaohui's arms.
"Let's count them. Once we have them, we'll be even!"
Zhang Xiaohui spat on her fingers and actually started counting.
At this moment, her fingers were trembling with excitement.
I didn't expect Zhao Xianglan would give so much.
On the contrary, she doesn't care. Once the money is given to her, it is hers.
Besides, she had saved money for so many years, and I only had 20.69 yuan. Who would have known that Zhao Xianglan had 100 yuan without saying anything?
Even though he was so rich, he still lent her five dollars.
This woman is really hiding something.
The money was in small pieces, just a few yuan or dimes. There were six big reunion coins, all earned from sewing in the past two months.
I used to envy her, but now that the money belongs to her, I feel that my future is especially promising.
After the money was counted, Zhao Xianglan turned to Lu Weimin and asked, "Village Chief, can I go back to recuperate now?"
It really hurts and bleeds.
The hundred yuan consisted of sixty yuan earned from handicrafts, five yuan borrowed from Zhang Xiaohui, and the money she had saved over the years...
She really needed the money urgently.
I originally thought that I could control Zhang Xiaohui and make her earn money for me, and I would have an income of about 30 yuan every month in the future.
And a few days ago, her mother wrote again, saying that she had given a large sum of money as a dowry for her eldest brother's marriage, and that her younger brothers and sisters had to go to school, so the family could hardly make ends meet.
After all this talk, he just came to ask her for money.
She has all the tricks and means, but she has been severely brainwashed by her family.
Because her mother often said that she was the eldest in the family and she had to be sensible, take care of her younger siblings, and help her parents support the family.
She is a good elder sister and a good daughter to her parents. She should think of her family first when she has good things.
These words were instilled in her since she was a child, which made her realize that she had given everything to that family.
Therefore, even if her family asked her to go to the countryside and send money and food back home, she would grit her teeth and send them home no matter how difficult it was.
She wrote a letter yesterday and sent it back, saying that she would send fifty yuan home.
Now she only has three cents left in her hand. How is she going to send money home next month?
As the eldest sister, she must not lose her reputation and face in front of her younger brothers and sisters.
After she recovers from her injuries, she will finish the current batch of goods and hand them over. After she gets the money, she can send the money back home.
As for the missing twenty dollars...
Zhao Xianglan kept pondering in her heart, and finally...
If you really can't borrow it, you can only go to him.
Zhao Xianglan had planned very well in her mind, but Lu Weimin had no intention of letting her go so easily.
"Zhao Zhiqing, although your attitude of admitting your mistakes is good, you still need to undergo ideological transformation. Just go and study for seven days."
Zhao Xianglan was petrified, "Why? I've already paid back the money, why do I still have to undergo reform?
Zhang Xiaohui, I, I know I was wrong, I will pay for it and admit my mistake, I shouldn't have been so against you before, I shouldn't have been so jealous of you, wuwu, please, for the sake of both of us being educated youth and having a hard time, please forgive me this time, I can't go!"
Zhao Xianglan really cried.
Originally, these educated youth still held out hope of returning to the city, but when they really went for reform, they lost even one ten-thousandth of hope.
Zhang Xiaohui felt sorry for her because she was crying so pitifully, so she opened her mouth to beg for mercy.
But Lu Weimingen didn't give her a chance to speak.
