"Village chief, how could you do this? We agreed to teach the children and we took turns to do the farm work and feed your chickens and ducks. How come you suddenly want to collect money?"

Seeing that the matter had been exposed, Du Zaide simply brought it out into the open.

"You take turns working on my land, so you only have to work once a month, but my son has to teach your children every day, which is a bit unfair."

"Besides, you guys have done all the work, what should I do? I am old and don't need to learn. The fields and chickens at home have never been taken by the Manjun, so what can you do to help him? Why don't you do something practical? Aren't you willing to spend even a penny or two?"

It's just one or two yuan, everyone in their village can afford it, but this is different from what was agreed at the beginning, so everyone has to get it clearly.

"Hmph, I think, just like what Xiaozhu said before, three days of fishing and two days of drying the nets, who knows if one day he will say he doesn't want to teach anymore and just stop teaching. Then even if we pay him, it will be in vain. Who knows if he will just do something perfunctory and not teach at all."

Du Zaide put his hands behind his back with a cold face.

"Then go find Shen Zhizhu and see if she's willing to teach for free. She pushed the blame on my son at first, saying she didn't have time and it was impossible for her to teach, right?"

"Why bother with him? The most urgent thing now is to get the money back from everyone. You kids don't have to study under Du Manjun. Go to school properly."

The uncle in rolled-up trousers was a hot-tempered man. Seeing that everyone was discussing whether to add money to Du Manjun's nutrition meals, he wondered why he should pay for that thing.

What kind of man is a person who can't bear even a little hardship? He looks like a sissy, has never touched the land at home, relies on his eldest brother who works outside to make money, and relies on the village chief to do the housework and farm work at home. What a useless person.

Du Zai De actually wants to lead the matter to Shen Zhizhu and Xu Haonan. How can this be possible?

If what Shen Zhizhu and the others said was true, then they were the benefactors of the big group. They had promised to protect the two young people before they came. He could not learn the despicable behavior of Du Zaide and others, who went back on their words and cheated people of their money.

"Yes, we are here to discuss the matter, not to watch him being disgusting."

Du Zaide: ???

What's going on? Why did everyone become so angry in an instant?

"Fellow villagers, someone has heard in the city that there is no tuition fee for schooling now. If your family is in financial difficulty, you can apply for poverty assistance. The government provides subsidies."

"Ah? Really? Then my dog ​​Sheng can also go to school?"

"Of course you can. Not only Gousheng, but all children can go to school if they want."

They seldom leave the village and are self-sufficient in vegetables. When they are short of meat, they go to the city. Most of them just buy food and leave. They would never specifically ask about the tuition fees in the city.

There is no such concept at all.

"Du Zaide, you took 30 yuan from everyone. Did you really pay the school tuition for your children to go to school?"

It's over. How did this group of people find out about this? He deliberately waited for a while before telling the people in the village because he knew that they would not go to the city normally and would not be able to know this information.

I also feel that no one would specifically ask about tuition fees.

Some families would have people working in factories, but they were not concentrated and not in the same factory. Du Zai De waited until most of them had left before announcing the news.

It is to prevent these people from coming into contact with too many people, as they might easily let things slip during conversation.

"Of course I paid for the children's tuition. If I had taken all that money, there's no way I would have asked for another dollar."

He raised his voice, looking angry.

This look made everyone a little unsure, but Shen Zhizhu saw through it at a glance.

[Tsk, he got anxious. It seems that this matter is 100% certain. They embezzled the money.]

If this had not happened, his first reaction should have been shock, and then anger, instead of getting angry right away and shouting so loudly.

[He should continue to defend himself later]

"Who said this? Who is so vicious to put this shit on me?"

【Start selling badly】

Xu Haonan looked down at Shen Zhizhu. His guesses were correct. Du Zaide's every move could not escape Shen Zhizhu's discerning eyes. She had seen through it all.

While I think Shen Zhizhu is amazing, I also feel a little distressed.

This ability must have been something he had to learn when he was a child living under someone else's roof.

"Is it easy for me? After I got the news, I immediately contacted the school for everyone to see if they would accept and how much they would accept. I went from house to house to communicate. I worked under the scorching sun and got soaked. I just wanted to find a good school for everyone so that the children in the village could have a promising future and go to Beijing to study and have a good future."

"Who knows, who knows that you heard some crazy words from somewhere and came to question me, with the guys in your hands, do you want to come over and beat me up?"

Du Zai De is worthy of being the village chief who has been in office for more than ten years. He is a good speaker and he talks about his own hard work to arouse everyone's guilt so as to let the matter go.

Some people have already begun to doubt themselves.

"It doesn't look like he's lying. Could it be... a mistake?"

"Maybe?"

They talked in a low voice, and even so, they remembered not to reveal the names of Shen Zhizhu and Xu Haonan.

Du Zai De saw that someone was hesitant and decided to continue.

"Then tell me, who told you this, when, and who told you this, and who said that the village chief embezzled everyone's hard-earned money under the pretext of paying tuition fees."

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

Because this matter was told by Shen Zhizhu and Xu Haonan. They go to the city every day and are many times more informed than them. Besides, there is no need to joke with them about this matter.

They said it happened at school, according to the school principal.

They naturally believed it, because there was no benefit in deceiving them. On the contrary, if it was true, they would be the ones who benefited.

The villagers were silent. They couldn't answer this question, but they were also unwilling to kick the young couple out.

Du Zai De was no longer afraid immediately. These people were not to be feared, but those two...

He narrowed his eyes and smiled maliciously.

"I think it was Shen Zhizhu and Xu Haonan who said this to encourage everyone. You can't deliberately pick a fight to retaliate against us just because your names were not selected by the school on the list you submitted. I understand your feelings, but you can't waste everyone's time."

The villagers looked over subconsciously. Is this really the case?
