Reborn in 1965, I can obtain resources just by sweeping the floor.

"Here's the thing, in our village, if someone hunts game in the woods, half goes to the village collective and the other half to the individual. Since Uncle Hu says you get a share, we can't take advantage of you. So, what's your share?"

Yang Dazhuang gave a brief explanation.

half!

Upon hearing this result, Su Chen's eyes lit up. Even excluding the meat that Grandpa Hu had taken, he had taken quite a lot himself. Even if it was only half of it, it would still be at least one or two hundred catties of meat. However, since he had the system's reward, what use would he have for so much meat? Being unfamiliar with the area, he dared not trade this meat with others. If he were reported for speculation, it would be troublesome.

Thinking of this, and seeing the expectant looks in Yang Dazhuang's and the villagers' eyes, Su Chen immediately made a plan.

"Village Chief Yang, thank you for treating me like one of your own. Actually, I went into the forest with my master to broaden my horizons. As for the harvest, you can decide what to do with it. I don't need that much meat. As long as I have something to eat, that's enough. Now I'm also a part of the village, and I should make some contributions to the villagers."

"Good! Comrade Xiao Su, I knew you were right. On behalf of the villagers, thank you. You all deserve an extra share of meat today, so thank Comrade Xiao Su. Remember his kindness. If I ever see any of you bullying Comrade Xiao Su, I'll be the first to punish you."

Village Chief Yang was slightly surprised by Su Chen's final decision. He had been thinking that if Su Chen took his share of the meat, he should give him some benefit so that Su Chen would share it with everyone. But he realized that he wouldn't be able to get any benefits from Su Chen in the future.

"Brother, I heard you encountered a pack of wolves. Were you hurt?"

News of Su Chen and his group's return from hunting quickly reached the educated youth settlement. Upon hearing that Su Chen and his group had encountered a pack of wolves, Bai Peiyao and Feng Lan rushed to the village committee. The two grabbed Su Chen's arms and carefully examined him from head to toe.

"Sister Yaoyao, Sister Xiaolan, I'm fine. I was protected by Master and didn't get hurt at all."

"By the way, Village Chief Yang, could I have two more wolf pelts? I'd like to get two wolf pelt rugs."

Suddenly, Su Chen seemed to remember something and hurriedly went to Yang Dazhuang's side, asking in a low voice.

"No problem, after I peel it off I'll... You don't know how to prepare the hide, do you? I'll have someone prepare it for you and then give it to you. It won't take more than a few days, about seven or eight days."

"Thank you, Village Chief Yang. I'll head back now. My clothes are soaked with sweat; I need to change."

"Go on, go on, don't forget to come back and share the meat later."

Village Chief Yang waved his hand with a smile, while reminding Su Chen not to forget about the meat distribution. This was Su Chen's wisdom: by giving up something that wasn't very important to him, he gained the goodwill of Village Chief Yang and even the entire Kaoshantun village. It was definitely a win-win situation.

Many people expressed their gratitude for Su Chen's decision, but some people did not understand it and even felt that Su Chen was just trying to show off.

Among them, Wang Fu, an educated youth, was filled with envy and jealousy. He had been in Kaoshantun for more than three years, but Village Chief Yang had never given him a kind look. In these three years, he could count the number of times he had eaten meat on one hand. Every year when the village distributed meat during the Spring Festival, he was always the one who received the least.

This guy was clearly one of the educated youth, so why did he give the meat to these unruly people? With that meat, he could have enjoyed several delicious meals. The more he thought about it, the angrier he got, and the more he felt he had been cheated.

“Are you stupid? Those meats are clearly yours to have, why did you share them with others? Do you think you’re so noble and great? You don’t live in the educated youth settlement, so don’t you know how to contribute to our collective? Go find the village chief right now and tell him you regret it and want your share back.”

In a moment of impulsiveness, Wang Fu rushed to Su Chen's side, stopping Su Chen from going back to change his clothes.

"Who is this guy?"

The sudden appearance of Wang Fu startled Su Chen, who took a step back. He didn't know where this crazy guy had come from, but judging from his words, he should be an educated youth from the educated youth settlement. He couldn't help but turn his head and ask Bai Peiyao, who was standing behind him.

“This guy is a nuisance. Nobody in the educated youth settlement likes him. If there were any other way, they would have kicked him out long ago. Don’t pay any attention to him. Go change your clothes. We’ll watch here for a while.”

Having spent so many days in Kaoshantun, mostly just staying at the educated youth settlement, Feng Lan, who loves to join in the fun, was certainly not going to miss this opportunity to see so many people gathered at the brigade headquarters today.

“You can’t leave. Go and get the meat back for us right now. I’m not just representing myself; I’m representing all the educated youth at the settlement.”

Seeing that Su Chen completely ignored him, Wang Fu felt his self-esteem had been greatly insulted, especially with so many people watching. He couldn't let a newcomer ride on his head.

"roll!"

He frowned, initially not wanting to pay attention to the guy, but when Wang Fu blocked his way and refused to leave, a surge of anger rose in his heart. He took a step forward and shouted a stern rebuke.

Having just fought with the wolves, Su Chen exuded a fierce aura, which frightened Wang Fu so much that he stumbled back four or five steps and fell to the ground with a thud.

"coax!"

Seeing Wang Fu's timid appearance, the villagers present immediately burst into laughter. Wang Fu had been in the village for three years and was considered a celebrity there, but not for a good reason. Being lazy, good-for-nothing, and a petty thief was the impression Wang Fu had given people over the past three years.

"You! You little brat, I'll fight you to the death!"

The laughter of the crowd was extremely grating to Wang Fu. He struggled to his feet and lunged at Su Chen with bared teeth and claws.

"Wang Fu, what are you doing? Stop it right now!"

"Wang Fu, how could you..."

Originally, the group of educated youths at the settlement didn't want to pay any attention to Wang Fu, but who knew that this guy was so shameless that he even tried to make a move. The group rushed over to try to stop Wang Fu.

"what!"

"Pfft!"

Before they could even rush over, they heard a loud bang, and then saw a figure fly backward.

Five meters away, Wang Fu landed heavily on the ground, his face pale and contorted with intense pain. He pointed at Su Chen, his lips trembling, unable to utter a single word.

"Real food!"

With a cold laugh, Su Chen ignored Wang Fu and went straight back to his residence, where he changed into clean clothes.

"Hey kid, come out here for a second, I have something to tell you."

Before anyone knew it, Grandpa Hu stood in front of the door, quietly waiting for Su Chen to change into clean clothes before speaking.

"Master, what are your instructions?"

Su Chen hurriedly went outside and stood obediently in front of Grandpa Hu.

"Let me ask you, what do you think is the purpose of practicing martial arts? Is it for being brave and fierce, or for..."

What is the purpose of practicing martial arts?

Seeing Grandpa Hu's serious expression, Su Chen fell silent for a moment. He had never really thought about this question before.

Grandpa Hu wasn't in a hurry; he just sat there quietly, as if it wasn't the question he had asked earlier.

“Master, I don’t have any grand ideals, nor do I have the spirit of sacrificing my life for the greater good. But I can guarantee that I will help those who need help within my power. I will never use my strength to do evil. Of course, if anyone bullies me, I will fight them to the end, no matter what their purpose is, even if it means making enemies of the whole world.”

In his past life, he was a miserable person, and in this life, he is just another unfortunate child. Talking about national righteousness is just nonsense. In the end, Su Chen followed his heart and spoke out his truest thoughts.

Seeing Grandpa Hu's increasingly serious expression, Su Chen's heart sank. What Su Chen had just said was simply outrageous. In this era, selfless dedication is the mainstream. However, the notification sound in his mind made Su Chen breathe a sigh of relief.
