Qian Xiaolan had an idea in mind after listening to Hu Guifen's words.
When the captain arrived again with his men, panting, Qian Xiaolan told him her plan.
"Captain, because the little money I have always attracted others' covetousness, it also made everyone unable to sleep well.
I decided to keep some money to buy a bicycle for myself, and donate the rest to the village primary school to replace desks and buy books and stationery. "
The team leader and the village cadres were overjoyed, and their unhappiness about having their sweet dreams interrupted disappeared.
Seeing their complexion improve, Qian Xiaolan continued, "Captain, I helped someone in the commune before. She worked in the supply and marketing cooperative.
If you are confident, let me buy the books and stationery. I guarantee that I can buy the most at the lowest price."
Before Gu Shengli could say anything, other village cadres were already moved and quickly responded:
"That's perfect. Go ahead and buy the things, Xiaolan. You don't have to buy too much. You live alone, so you have to keep some money. The villagers can't take advantage of you."
Qian Xiaolan just smiled and said nothing more.
Gu Shengli felt very guilty. He did not handle the matter well at the beginning. Otherwise, everyone would not know that Xiaolan had so much money and caused so many troubles.
As a result, Xiaolan had to donate the money to the village to maintain peace.
Thinking of this, Gu Shengli glared at Lian Erlai fiercely and said to Brother Gu Dahai:
"Send Er Laizi to the infirmary first, and everyone go back to rest early. Before work tomorrow, notify everyone to hold a meeting in the drying yard!"
After the crowd dispersed, Hu Guifen sighed and comforted Qian Xiaolan before returning to her room to sleep.
She just realized that her two neighbors and two village cadres were very dissatisfied with the frequent accidents in Xiaolan's family.
Fortunately, Xiaolan offered to donate money today, and everyone swallowed their dissatisfaction.
Hey, look at what this incident has caused. Xiaolan is obviously the victim, but no one blames those bad guys who climbed over the wall in the middle of the night, but instead blames the victim for causing trouble.
This world is so unfair to women.
Qian Xiaolan's mood did not fluctuate. From the moment she asked Sun Honghua and her husband to pay back the money, she thought of all the troubles she would encounter in the future.
The villagers were more patient than she thought. Only two waves of people came in many days.
In fact, she didn't know that it was not that everyone was able to keep their composure, but that the captain had secretly warned those who were ready to make any move more than once.
There were many people who had ideas about the money and yard in her hands, but they were helpless because of the several warnings from the team leader in front and Hu Guifen and her four sons waiting there behind.
Only someone like Qian Changcai who takes advantage of his relatives, and someone like Lian Erlai who is fearless and has only a widowed mother at home would do such a thing.
Qian Xiaolan returned to her room, locked the door, and entered the space and contacted Wenxuan:
"Brother Wenxuan, prepare some pencils, erasers, notebooks, and extracurricular books that were common in the 1970s for me."
Wenxuan opened a grocery store that operates both a physical store and Pinxixi. There is nothing he cannot sell, unless you can think of it.
As soon as Qian Xiaolan mentioned her request, he immediately replied that he had stock on hand and asked her how much she wanted.
Qian Xiaolan asked for one hundred yuan first, then looked at the amount and fell silent.
Sorry, she forgot.
At that time, a pencil with an eraser cost 0.05 yuan, a pencil cost 0.04 yuan, a pencil sharpener cost 0.05 yuan, a notebook cost 0.05 yuan, and an eraser cost 0.02 yuan.
And her one hundred yuan could only buy one-tenth of the things in Wenxuan's time.
It’s totally not worth it!
Qian Xiaolan silently put the things back on the shelf and put an eight-pound wild goat hind leg on the shelf for Wenxuan.
"You can't use my money, so let's trade it. I don't want the notebooks and pens anymore. I want to exchange them all for sanitary pads."
Wenxuan coughed violently a few times and immediately went to prepare the things for Qian Xiaolan.
Since starting the transaction with Qian Xiaolan, he has moved to the warehouse in order to complete the transaction as quickly as possible.
Qian Xiaolan put away the sanitary napkin, thinking that she didn't have to be like the people here, who had to use a cloth strip filled with wood ash and reuse it every time they had their period, and she fell asleep in a good mood.
The next morning, Qian Xiaolan was awakened by the village loudspeaker. She hurriedly washed and ran to the threshing ground to gather.
At this moment, Gu Shengli and all the cadres in the brigade were standing on the platform.
Even Qian Changcai, Sun Honghua, Lian Erlai and others were carried up.
Gu Shengli held up a loud speaker and read a passage from the collection, then pointed at the three half-crippled people and said to everyone:
"Comrades! Society is progressing, civilization is developing, and we should all work together to build up the countryside and make our country more prosperous and strong.
But some people are going backwards and not only do they steal things, they even dare to climb over other people's walls in the middle of the night to hit on female comrades!
We should have zero tolerance for such people! Otherwise, if all the seniors are like him, how can the safety of lesbians be guaranteed?
What will the atmosphere in the team be like?"
As Gu Shengli finished speaking, a chorus of agreement came from the audience:
"The captain is right! We can't just let this go."
Someone else raised his voice and said, "Not all the female comrades in the brigade have huge amounts of money and houses like Qian Xiaolan?"
As soon as this person spoke, several people echoed him.
These days a whole family can barely save a few dozen dollars a year, and housing is even more of a shortage. Who has something to worry about?
Qian Xiaolan stood behind these people, silently memorizing these old faces.
