Bringing space back to the 1970s to develop rural areas

"Hehe, borrow? How much? When will you return it?"

It's so funny. He just comes to borrow money casually. Is he too shameless?

"Not much, not much," Zhang Duo suddenly became proud again. The girls in the city are so easy to cheat. "Borrow a hundred industrial tickets, and you will have five hundred yuan. I will pay you back when we have money and tickets."

One hundred industrial tickets? Five hundred yuan is enough? Wait until you have it?

I won’t get a penny or a ticket until you die!

Who the hell gave them such a big face?

Yang Qingdai looked at them as if they were clowns.

"Comrade Li Chunxing, do you think you have any merit in me lending you 100 industrial tickets and 500 yuan?

So when you two get married, I will pay for your betrothal gifts and dowries?

So on your wedding day, should I sit in the first seat in Gaotang, waiting for you two to kneel down and serve you tea?

Do you think you have the ability to pay me back the money and tickets? Pay me back in my dreams, or after you die?"

"Hey, how do you talk like that, little comrade?"

I don’t know what Yang Qingdai said that touched Zhang Duo’s sore spot, but he finally couldn’t maintain the mask anymore.

"I will say the same thing as you say. Isn't that right?" Yang Qingdai asked back, "Have you ever seen a normal person casually lend money and bills to strangers?

For one hundred industrial tickets, are you two going to get married, or are you going around looking for people to help you out of poverty in the name of marriage?

Don't accuse me of being stingy or mean, let's go to the field and talk to the team leader and the others now."

"Yang Qingdai, that's enough!" Li Chunxing's eyes were red as she shouted, "Don't think you're great just because you have a few stinky bucks. You're saying such ugly things. Aren't you afraid that you won't be able to find a husband in the future?"

It's the same old story again. They don't get tired of saying it, but she feels tired just listening to it.

"What? You can't survive without your in-laws? Then how did you survive in your parents' home for the past ten years? In my dictionary, Yang Qingdai, only useless women would expect to find an in-law, give birth to a bunch of children, and live like a nanny."

To say such things in this day and age is simply shocking to them.

For today's women, marrying a good husband, having a good in-law family, having a few children, working from dawn to dusk, and earning a few extra work points to supplement the family while taking good care of the whole family are the manifestations of a woman's diligence and virtue.

Yang Qingdai's words, "Only useless women would expect to find a husband and give birth to a bunch of children", are completely contrary to the traditional thinking of the entire society.

"You, you..." Li Chunxing felt that what she said was fallacy, but she couldn't find any reason to refute it.

Zhang Duo, however, was filled with hatred. He had fallen in love with Yang Qingdai at first sight when he was in the town. Her appearance, her dressing style, and her lavish spending at the supply and marketing cooperative reminded him all the time that he must win this woman over.

As long as he could get this woman, not only would he get a fragrant, fair and tender young wife, but he would also be able to eat and dress well. As for her brother, he could just find a place to kill him.

Who knew that the yellow-skinned dog was so useless, that he failed to meet this woman, and not only did he fail to save the beauty, but he also ended up in jail.

I have been hiding for a while and dared not come out. Until now, the police have not come to my door, so I should be fine.

Knowing that she and Li Chunxing were educated youth from the same brigade, he didn't care too much and just asked Li Chunxing to go to their house. Anyway, she had money, so she had to lend it to them.

"We come to you because we think highly of you. Don't think that with your mediocre skills, you two siblings can keep the money safe." Zhang Duo threatened sinisterly.

Oh, it’s been a while since I heard such blatant threats. I really miss it.

Yang Qingdai scratched her ears, "What are you talking about? Whether we can keep it is our business. It has nothing to do with you. If you have the ability, come and steal. If you don't have the ability, stop complaining."

It’s a good opportunity to try out whether Chen Yu’s trap is reliable.

They will have to live here for another year or two, and who knows if the omnipresent enemy will suddenly attack them at night.

Seeing Yang Qingdai's unyielding attitude, Li Chunxing tugged at Zhang Duo's sleeve and gestured for him to leave.

Thinking that someone was coming, Zhang Duo swung his sleeves fiercely and said, "Hmph, I'll give you two days to think about it carefully. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude to you and sending you to some place if you are not careful."

Bah, they are a bunch of cowards who can only talk big and run away after saying a few harsh words. They are not as brave as Li Dagou who dares to take direct action. I can have reasons to beat him up myself.

The backs of these two people leaving in disappointment...

Yang Qingdai thought, could it be that these two people were specially brought by Li Hongqing to disgust her?

How much compensation would she have to give to make Li Chunxing willingly ruin her own reputation and marry the country man she had always looked down upon, and spend her whole life as a peasant woman working in the countryside.

Yang Qingdai did guess right, but only half right.

Today it was indeed Li Hongqing who gave Li Chunxing five dollars and asked her to call Zhang Duo to come together to disgust Yang Qingdai, or to be more precise, to hold her back.

So as to give Li Hongqing more time to stop Yang Ziling.

At this moment, Yang Ziling, who was going to the village committee office to deliver rice dumplings to the team leader and others, was stopped by Li Hongqing and Li Lingzhong on his way back.

The kid's face was almost as dark as the captain's, and he looked coldly at Li Hongqing who was trying hard to get close to him.

"I said, I don't know you." There was a hint of Yang Qingdai in this reply.

Li Hongqing patiently coaxed him, "I really didn't lie to you. Your sister Yang Qingdai and I were both educated youth. I saw you yesterday when we were picking reed leaves by the river."

Yang Ziling pursed her lips and said, "I don't know him."

"Well, could you please take us to Qingshan? We'll pay, ten dollars a day, how about that?" She didn't believe that there would be anyone who didn't like money.

Yang Ziling strictly followed Yang Qingdai's advice and kept as far away from strangers as possible.

When Li Hongqing stepped forward to pull him, he took a few steps back and said coldly: "I'm busy, I won't go."

He doesn't need the ten dollars. His sister gives him ten dollars every week, and he hasn't spent a penny of it yet. Why does he need her ten dollars?

At this time, poisonous snakes are active in the mountains, so his sister doesn't allow him to go up the mountain alone unless she takes him there.

My sister must have said that these two people are mentally ill. They suddenly came out and said some inexplicable words to him, and even wasted his time accompanying my sister by taking them to the mountains for adventure.

"Ten dollars! Do you know how much ten dollars is? A temporary worker only earns eleven or twelve dollars a month, or even less, and you don't want it?" Unexpectedly, Li Lingzhong was the first to give in.

During this period, almost all the money he brought from Shanghai was taken away by Li Hongqing.

She found fault with him everywhere in the Youth League Home, and even gave him a cold shoulder before leaving the house because of the dishes for the Dragon Boat Festival dinner.

But now he is so kind to Yang Qingdai's brother and is willing to give him ten dollars.

Li Lingzhong felt that his heart could not bear it any longer.
