Fast-forward to the era of cannon fodder

Some people in the village could not stand it anymore and glared at Zhao Wenfang, "What's wrong with you, girl? Why do you come to our Xiaxi Village to bully the girls in our village? If you don't want to live in our Xiaxi Village, then go back to your own home. Do you think we welcome you? A bunch of young ladies who can't even carry anything come to snatch our food. We don't welcome them."

"Yes, we don't welcome them. As soon as they come here, they bully the girls from our village. Do they really think that we country folk are easy to bully?"

"You city people, what's so great about you? Without us villagers growing crops and food, you'd be left starving."

"Captain, village chief, this girl is just a troublemaker. We can't let someone like her live in our village. Can we replace her with someone else?"

"Change people, our village needs to change people."

The villagers were outraged and demanded a replacement.

Zhao Wenfang was scared.

Once she was sent back to the educated youth point, she would be branded with a stain and would be sent to an even farther and more remote place.

She cannot be returned.

she cried.

She cried pitifully, "I... I don't want to be replaced, wuwu... I didn't bully anyone, it was her..."

Lan Chen stopped her and said, "Zhao Wenfang, don't say anything else, just admit your mistake."

"Brother Chen?" Zhao Wenfang looked at him in disbelief.

She angered the villagers because she helped him, but he wanted her to admit her mistake. What did she do wrong?

Lan Chen pursed his lips and advised her, "We are new educated youth and we are unfamiliar with the place. No one will help us. If you don't want to be replaced, apologize quickly."

The more explanations you give, the angrier the villagers will become.

Zhao Wenfang was unwilling to accept it, but the situation was overwhelming, so she finally bowed her head and apologized to the villagers and Liu Yuzhu. "

Liu Yuzhu immediately raised her head and chest like a rooster that had won a battle. "Since you have admitted your mistake and apologized, I will not bother with you. If you want to live in my house, I will reduce your rent by half for the sake of this educated youth from Lanchen. It will be 50 cents per person per month."

The villagers' houses were not given to the educated youth for free. They only charged fifty cents a month, which was already very cheap.

The other two female educated youths except Zhao Wenfang looked at each other, took out fifty cents and handed it to Liu Yuzhu, "We will stay at your house, but we plan to cook our own meals."

"Okay, it's up to you. There are two unused rooms in my house without a kang. I'll ask my dad to build one for you tomorrow. I'll put a small stove next to the kang for you. You can buy a small iron pot and cook on the small stove."

Liu Yuzhu got one dollar and was in a good mood. She agreed to the requests of the two tenants.

Seeing this, the other three male educated youths also took out fifty cents and gave her, "Then the three of us can rent another room, but we don't know how to cook."

Liu Yuzhu's eyes lit up. "Then you can eat at my house if you want to export rations, but the cost of vegetables and firewood will be charged separately. It's five yuan a month, and I guarantee you can have an egg every day."

Five dollars per person, that’s fifteen dollars a month.

Moreover, the money was given on the spot.

Liu Yuzhu held a wad of money in her hand and smiled so much that her eyes were invisible.

"Comrade Liu Yuzhu, we will also live in your house." Suddenly, Lan Chen also took out the rent and food money, leaving Zhao Wenfang alone and had to pay the rent.

Liu Yuzhu took the money with her heart pounding like a drum and her face flushed with excitement.

But her skin was too dark and no one noticed her.

Only Yuanchun discovered it.

Yuanchun raised the corners of her lips and smiled.
