At this moment, the brigade leader finally took a proper look at this new educated youth. He never expected that someone with such a soft and gentle appearance would be such an arrogant person.
It seems that Tang Jianhua, the educated youth, did not leak the village's affairs. At this moment, the brigade leader expressed particular satisfaction with Tang Jianhua.
Even the other cadres in the brigade headquarters, who had initially seemed indifferent, started to look at Tang Baozhu with gleaming eyes when they saw her buy so much fine grain.
The women's director's eyes were already darting around, and it was unclear what she was planning.
It's probably just one of those possibilities: either ruin his reputation or he's going to marry her. I can't think of anything else.
Tang Baozhu was extremely satisfied to see all eyes on her; this was exactly the effect she wanted. So, come and rob me! My sword is itching for a fight.
The older educated youth standing nearby looked anxious, but with others present, they dared not say anything and could only look at Tang Baozhu with a worried expression, hoping she could understand what the others meant.
Tang Baozhu, of course, understood what they meant. She winked at them, looking confident.
The others immediately understood Tang Baozhu's meaning. Although they didn't know what she was going to do, they could tell at a glance that she was doing it on purpose.
So everyone fell silent, pretending not to know anything.
Next, the other newly arrived educated youth began to report the grains they wanted to buy. Most of them chose coarse grains, but they also bought some refined grains, though not much.
After everyone had finished reporting, the captain told the others to hurry up and go to the warehouse to weigh the grain.
That was truly a cash-on-delivery transaction.
Tang Baozhu lightly weighed her grains and felt that at least five pounds of rice and flour were missing.
She remained silent, pretending not to know anything. After all, it wasn't so easy to embezzle what was rightfully hers. If she had embezzled her own grain, she would only be able to steal it back at night when no one was around, and charge extra interest along the way.
Most importantly, 170 yuan could have bought so much food. So that night, she was determined to make up for the lack, since she would eat anything and never suffer a loss.
Judging from the unpleasant expressions on the faces of the others, it's likely that they've all been shortchanged to some extent. After all, in this era, almost everyone can get a pretty accurate assessment if they weigh things up.
Even if there is a difference, it's only half a pound, unlike me who lost five pounds directly.
It seems they are taking advantage of the fact that these educated youth dare not speak up, so they are openly shortchanging them.
After the grain was purchased, the other educated youth helped carry it all to the educated youth settlement.
Once they arrived at the educated youth settlement, the others couldn't wait to ask Tang Baozhu if there was any way to help.
Tang Baozhu could only try to fool them, "I'm telling you, but you absolutely mustn't tell anyone else that I've always been incredibly lucky since I was a child. I've never suffered a loss. If anyone cheats me or makes me suffer a loss, they will pay back a thousand times over. So don't worry, they'll get their comeuppance in no more than three days."
When these words were spoken, everyone else was completely dumbfounded. This was the time to destroy the Four Olds, and they couldn't quite believe it.
But seeing Tang Baozhu's confident expression, they suddenly felt that they could still have some hope.
It would be great if those people really got their comeuppance; everyone started to look forward to it.
Tang Baozhu and her fellow educated youth sent to the countryside were not given any time to rest; they were made to work the very next day.
He really is like a miser.
During the dinner gathering that evening, Tang Baozhu secretly took out half a pound of cured meat from the sack. After all, they had eaten with them at noon, and everyone was having a hard time, so this was a way to improve their meals.
Ji Fanghua also took out a small dried fish. Although she was a little reluctant, she still took it out quite generously.
The male educated youth also contributed what they had, and those who didn't simply gave an extra handful of grain; no one tried to take advantage of the situation.
It seems that all the educated youth were forced to be particularly united by the village. When there was danger outside, they stood together against it and did not give others a chance to break through. I just wonder if the educated youth settlement will be so united after those people are dealt with.
Tonight's meal was the best those former educated youth had eaten in the past six months.
Actually, their family used to send them packages frequently at first, but later they found that the packages never reached them, and sometimes even the letters never arrived, so they gradually stopped sending them.
After dinner, everyone else washed up and went to bed. Tang Baozhu made an excuse to go to the toilet and secretly released a puppet from her spatial storage. She then sent the puppet with two Heavenly Thunder Talismans to blow up the brigade headquarters.
Tell her not to forget to harvest all the grain next to the brigade headquarters, lest it be wasted under the thunder.
Still feeling unsatisfied, I gave him a few more and told him to go to the homes of the village cadres at the brigade headquarters today and give each of them a Thunder Talisman.
Of course, don't forget to plunder their money and food as well. Leave them with nothing, and whether they survive will depend on their own abilities.
When they went to bed that night, Ji Fanghua, who was sleeping next to Tang Baozhu, quietly asked her if what she had said that afternoon was true.
Tang Baozhu scanned the surroundings with her divine sense, and good heavens, none of them were asleep; they were all listening intently to her answer.
"Of course it's true! I'm telling you, I'm incredibly lucky. I've been walking around picking up money on the street. Anyway, you won't have to wait too long; you'll get the news soon. It's just that we don't know if they broke their legs or arms this time. It depends on the severity of their crimes. If they've committed heinous crimes, it might be more serious."
"Given the heinous nature of their crimes, they will certainly suffer more than just broken arms and legs; they may very well lose their lives."
Someone said it, and everyone around agreed. To them, apart from the newborn child, there wasn't a single good person in the village.
These women weren't bullied because the men protected them well. At first, they always carried kitchen knives with them when they went out, and there was even a time when they almost got into a fight with kitchen knives. But as time went on, the people in the village gradually became more restrained.
At this moment, these women actually hoped that what Tang Baozhu said was true. They were not afraid of her strangely good luck at all, and just hoped that it would come true soon.
