“My family is well off.”
Wu Donglin was furious.
“Yeah, they’re great. So great that you had to go to the countryside as an educated youth. If your conditions were really that good, you could have refused the rationed grain and bought food with grain tickets instead. That way, the brigade could have excluded you. Or you could have spent money to exchange for Zhao Erhua’s brother’s work points. But so far, I haven’t heard of you giving Zhao Erhua any benefits.
This is just you freeloading!
I haven’t seen any material superiority from you. All I’ve seen is you encroaching on the time and money of the laboring people, and deceiving their emotions. If you really weren’t short of money or work, you could have given Zhao Erhua’s family the money for the work you had them do during this time. Can you say that you can give them the money? Impressive city dweller.” Zhang Yunxi asked with a smile.
Sentence by sentence.
Each one pierced Wu Donglin’s heart!
The villagers were gradually waking up. Yeah, Wu always said how great he was, but they really hadn’t seen any of that greatness!
Aunt Yu also suddenly realized, yes, this Wu Zhiqing always said how great his family’s conditions were, but so far, he hadn’t given anything.
Could it be that he was lying about his family conditions?
Wu Donglin’s finger, pointing at Zhang Yunxi, trembled violently, “You, you, you…”
“What about me? I’ve always been truthful. Aren’t you clear about your own actions? Don’t boast in front of us. Who isn’t a city dweller? Even if you are a city dweller, so what? Nowadays, being an 18th-generation poor farmer is the most glorious. Each of us, together with our farmer brothers, is a family. We are all here to build a better motherland together, not for you to come to the countryside and undermine our unity. Now the brigade leader cares about us educated youths, and you describe it as a dirty male-female transactional relationship. Then you are further sabotaging our urban-rural cooperation. Do you know what this represents? This represents you denying the decisions of our great leader!”
“I did not!!!!”
Wu Donglin was completely panicked.
Being associated with the great leader would ruin his life. Not just his life, but his family might also be implicated, “Don’t drag the great leader into this!”
“How am I dragging the great leader into this? Isn’t this order from the great leader? Didn’t the great leader say that we educated youths should cooperate better with the local farmers? Now that we are furthering our communication, you describe it as such a relationship. How am I supposed to communicate with the brigade leader in the future? Will every little thing I do be attributed to the brigade leader giving me special treatment? If one person says that, I can explain. If a group of people say that, then I will become the target of public criticism. This completely contradicts the great leader’s decision to further urban-rural relations. You undermine the great leader’s decision and still try to refute it—what is your purpose!”
Zhang Yunxi was furious.
Wu Donglin was a male educated youth.
His influence in the village wasn’t great, and before she was tired, she had let Wu Donglin act out.
But the brigade leader’s influence in the village was very significant. If she and the brigade leader were slandered by Wu Donglin as having a male-female relationship.
If in the future she got a good job because of Zhao Rencheng, would that also be attributed to the brigade leader? So today she had to escalate this issue to a very serious level!
If anyone mentioned it again.
They would think twice!
Wu Donglin’s lips turned pale with fear. He hadn’t expected things to escalate to this level so quickly, nor had he expected his few words to bring such consequences.
This was really more infuriating and terrifying than Zhang Yunxi slapping or punching him, “I didn’t… I didn’t mean that… You don’t like me, and you have no relationship with the brigade leader, okay!!”
“What do you mean by okay? I hope you can face squarely the original intention of us educated youths going to the countryside. We are here to build a better motherland together with our local farmer brothers. Even if we can’t build a better motherland with them, we shouldn’t be holding them back!!!”
Zhang Yunxi spoke with righteous indignation.
Wu Donglin’s forehead was constantly sweating, his lips trembling, “I didn’t mean that.”
“Then what did you mean? Do you think slandering a brigade leader, slandering a cadre, slandering an educated youth is fun?” Zhang Yunxi questioned.
Wu Donglin shook his head, his face pale.
Brigade Leader Zhao saw that he was scared enough and finally stepped forward, “This time, I’ll make the decision not to pursue the matter with you. I hope you can be more careful with your words in the future. Don’t slander a female educated youth’s reputation, and don’t slander the relationship between cadres and the masses. Before you do anything, weigh your own worth.”
Wu Donglin wiped the sweat from his forehead.
He had never thought that Brigade Leader Zhao could be so pleasing to the eye.
Zhang Yunxi snorted coldly.
The onlookers patted their little hearts: “…”
Oh my!
It turns out that city dwellers wielding big knives aren’t the scariest. The scariest is that she can send you to jail with just a few words.
This woman is terrifying!
Zhao Hongqiang even got goosebumps. If Zhang Yunxi were wielding a big knife, he could still resist. But if she piled those unfounded accusations on his head.
Then his life would really be over.
And it would also ruin his family’s lives.
Zhao Hongqiang shivered all over!!
The villagers also realized for the first time that the words of an educated youth could have such a terrifying impact.
Now no one was thinking about the brigade leader and Zhang having any relationship. They guessed that the brigade leader probably didn’t have the guts, and Zhang probably wouldn’t have such poor taste.
Those who had any thoughts.
Didn’t dare to say anything!
A woman who could send you to jail in a minute is really not to be messed with.
Everyone took a long time to recover.
Zhang Yunxi went back to work.
Wu Donglin fell to the ground.
Gasping for breath.
Like a fish out of water, drenched in cold sweat.
At that moment, he felt like he was really going to be taken away by the red armbands, because he was the one sabotaging the better communication between educated youths and rural brothers, and the better construction of a beautiful motherland!
Brigade Leader Zhao was also a bit scared.
Originally, he was worried that Zhang would be bullied by this Wu. Now it seemed that he had worried too much. As long as Zhang’s mouth was still there, she would never be bullied in her life. The one with reason would always be her!!
After understanding Zhang Yunxi’s combat power.
The villagers warned their children not to provoke Zhang Yunxi, especially families that had designs on Zhang Yunxi.
Even if she had a house, was beautiful, and had a high education, it was still a no-go!
Even as elders, they didn’t dare to say half a word against her, lest they get themselves killed at some point.
They, as rural people, couldn’t afford to provoke her.
But if they couldn’t provoke her, they could at least avoid her!
Zhao Rencheng also came down to cancel his leave after resting, and heard Zhang Yunxi’s long speech, watching her set traps for Wu Donglin step by step.
This little fox.
Her words were so well-structured.
Usually, she seemed quite easy to bully, soft and fluffy, but in reality, she could bite you to death.
So cute.
