Tang Baozhu silently assured herself that although she had been bluffing about her luck, she did have a real cheat code, so she would definitely not let them down.
Seeing the female educated youth's united indignation, Tang Baozhu figured the male educated youth must be in a similar situation. After all, the fact that they could turn someone as proud as Tang Jianhua into a lackey showed that they must have suffered just as much.
"Don't worry, everyone. We'll know the news in the next couple of days, either tomorrow or the day after. Now everyone should get some rest. We all have to work tomorrow, and if we're late, we'll lose work points."
Gradually, no one made a sound and they all fell asleep. Only Tang Baozhu was lying on the kang (a heated brick bed), unable to sleep at all.
She was really uncomfortable sleeping with strangers. She felt that every time she traveled through the small world, it was like being reincarnated, and the environment was completely random.
In the previous world, I was sleeping on a soft bed, wearing fine silks and eating delicacies. But after arriving in this world, I was instantly plunged from the top floor to the bottom floor.
Fortunately, it won't be long before she can gradually improve her life. If possible, she can get rid of those scumbags, build her own house, and if the strong man in the cowshed matches her aesthetic, she can build the house at the foot of the mountain, closer to the cowshed.
I haven't had time to see what that burly man looks like lately, but since he's still there and has several years left to live, it doesn't matter if I go see him later.
I forced myself to close my eyes and rest, enduring the crowded surroundings, until I was so sleepy that I finally fell asleep.
But no one was destined to have a good night's sleep. In the middle of the night, there was a sudden clap of thunder outside, as if the thunder had struck right next to their ears, and then they heard a lot of noise from the other side.
Tang Baozhu had exceptionally sharp ears, and she knew immediately that the puppets had begun to move. The noisy sounds were the village officials crying and screaming, as well as the frightened sounds of the neighbors.
Looking at the others, even those who were already awake, they simply pretended not to hear and continued to sleep.
However, Tang Baozhu's divine sense still saw that their lips were upturned, and even with their eyes closed, it did not affect their good mood.
At this moment, everyone was wondering if the pearl's good luck had come into play.
Of course, some people think that since Baozhu is so lucky, shouldn't we let her have her way in the future? Otherwise, trouble might find us if we're not careful.
However, they were still happy about Baozhu's good luck, because with Baozhu's good fortune, they would no longer have to live the kind of life they used to.
At least if you're bullied, even if you can't fight back, God will help you fight back.
Even though everyone at the educated youth settlement heard the commotion, no one went out to see what was happening.
The people in the group were different; they were all descendants of bandits or were currently bandits. They were all very close, and since they lived in the same village, they were very united in dealing with any issues.
Although they are not united in one place.
Looking at the brigade leader, the village chief, and the party secretary, all the village cadres and their families were struck by lightning, and even their houses were destroyed.
Although it's unclear why they weren't all executed, they were merely left to linger on.
Although it looks pretty bad, they will soon find that something even worse is yet to come.
The money in the house is gone, the food is gone, and even the jewelry and ornaments that were stolen before are gone.
Even the dozens of tons of grain piled up in the warehouse disappeared. Although feudal superstitions were being eradicated at this time, most people were still quite superstitious.
Their first thought was that they were now being punished for the sins they had committed in the past.
Even the village cadres who were criticized were wondering to themselves, "Is it really true that after decades of sins, we are finally going to get our comeuppance?"
That night, the village was in chaos. Although there was a clinic in the village with a doctor who had come from a bandit's den and was quite skilled, he was helpless against the injuries caused by the lightning strikes.
In the end, they had no choice but to use oxcarts to take all the injured people to the hospital. However, there were too many injured people and the oxcarts were not enough, so they had to ask the men in the village to remove the door panels and carry them to the hospital in town.
Meanwhile, the remaining villagers were tidying up their belongings. After being struck by lightning, they ignored the damaged and unusable items and focused on finding those that could still be used.
That's how they discovered that a lot of things were missing. They found that there wasn't a single penny or even a single grain of food in the house, which made them realize that things were really serious.
People with guilty consciences will live in constant fear after returning home, praying to gods and Buddhas for forgiveness for their sins, but unfortunately, this is just self-deception.
On the contrary, the female educated youth who were forced to marry into the village and the male educated youth who were forced to marry into the village felt particularly happy when they saw this scene.
They used to curse God for being blind, letting bad people live carefree lives while they, the kind people, were constantly being forced into hardship. But unexpectedly, God did have eyes and punished the bad people.
It seems I still need to be more devout in my heart and hope that God will bless me more, since I'm finally getting my comeuppance for my sins.
The next day, after all the educated youth at the settlement got up, they talked about the sounds they had heard the night before, but they didn't know what it was about.
But when they remembered Tang Baozhu's confident assertion last night that she was incredibly lucky, both the male and female educated youth looked at Baozhu with shining eyes.
The commotion last night was so huge, and given that they are inherently wicked, they must be getting their comeuppance.
So they didn't even have time for breakfast. They packed the things they usually needed for work, locked the door in a hurry, and rushed to the brigade headquarters.
If there are still people at the brigade headquarters, they will treat it as a normal workday. If there is no one at the brigade headquarters, then something must have happened last night. As for workdays, no one will probably urge them to go.
Tang Baozhu looked at the educated youth who were once lifeless, but now they all seemed full of energy, eagerly carrying their things to go to work.
It felt like their first day at work; they were so excited. It seems they had been suppressed for far too long.
