Li Fanghua didn't deliberately speak loudly, but her words were clearly heard by everyone present, striking a chord in the hearts of those educated youth who had been borrowing grain every year.
Others may not know, but they themselves know that they really didn't intend to pay it back. Anyway, they never had enough work points every year, so it was impossible for them to put money in.
They all thought they could borrow as much as they could, and if one day they were able to return to the city, they would deal with it then.
There are quite a few people who think this way, accounting for at least one-third of the educated youth settlements.
Among the female educated youth, only Zhang Hongxia, Lin Lili, and Zeng Yinqiu received as much as they could, and bought more if they needed more; everyone else had to borrow.
Not only that, but those who borrowed grain would also privately mock those who paid for the grain as suckers. They themselves heard such things many times, but they just ignored those people.
Among the male educated youth, Liu Jun was the main representative. The others were alright. They would borrow a little if they were short of grain, but when the grain was distributed the following year, they would prioritize paying back the team's grain. Even if they were still in debt, it was only a minority.
This year, however, Zhu Pandi and Shi Qiang have joined the group.
The two of them had probably heard about what the other team had done before and thought it was feasible, so they prepared well in advance to ask the team for a loan first, and whether they could pay it back would be another matter later.
Therefore, when Li Fanghua said these words, some people felt guilty and embarrassed to respond, while others became angry and ashamed.
"You've gone too far! What gives you the right to accuse us of borrowing and not paying back? We work hard every year to earn work points! And then..."
Before Wang Lan could finish speaking, Li Fanghua burst into laughter as if she had heard the funniest joke in the world.
"Hahahaha... Hahahaha, oh my god, my stomach hurts from laughing so much! Did you hear what Wang Zhiqing said?"
She said they were working hard to earn work points, but do you know how hard she worked? She worked hard all year, but she didn't earn as many work points as my ten-year-old sister-in-law. It's hilarious!
Oh my god, I can't take it anymore, I'm dying of laughter! Can someone please stop them? I just can't stand it, hahahahahahahaha…
Li Fanghua's laughter is particularly infectious, and her way of speaking is also quite humorous. When she laughs like that, most people in the audience can't help but laugh along, including Zhu Qinghao and Si Tian.
Li Shengnan looked at her daughter-in-law with doting eyes and gently pinched the sleeve of her arm.
"You! I just can't do anything with you. Is it really that funny? You're laughing like this in front of everyone, like a little kid. Who would believe you have kids running all over the place?"
Li Fanghua showed no sign of being scolded; instead, she went over and leaned her head on her mother-in-law's shoulder, acting coquettishly.
"It's all because I have a wonderful mother-in-law—something others can only envy."
Seeing that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had made things clear, everyone stopped pressing the issue and started chatting with them.
"Look at them, they don't look like a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law at all, they look like a mother and daughter."
"That's right, even my daughter isn't this close to me. Sister-in-law Shengnan is so lucky..."
At this moment, Li Shengnan was also very happy and took over the conversation, praising her daughter-in-law.
"Of course, Fanghua is the woman I've had my eye on since the beginning, the one I wanted to marry as my daughter-in-law. Thankfully, my son is ambitious, and of course, I have good taste too!..."
