"Village Head?" The educated youths paused. None of them had managed to recruit anyone. Could the literacy class still be held?
For a moment, everyone was overjoyed, thinking the Village Head was here to announce the list. If it was based on the number of people recruited, Liu Zihua, who had roped in twenty people, would undoubtedly win.
But then they thought about how Liu Zihua relied on money, and they all felt a sense of unfairness.
"You've worked hard for two days, and your method is to use money? When we decided with the Secretary not to use work points as rewards, we wanted them to study willingly, not for profit," the Village Head said calmly.
Everyone looked at the Village Head in confusion. Then how was the literacy class going to be held?
"Fu Wenwen didn't spend a single cent and received support from half the villagers, which allowed this literacy class to be held," the Village Head said slowly, sensing their doubts. "And it was voluntary."
"The educated youth Fu managed to recruit half the people?" the educated youths asked in astonishment.
"How is that possible?" Liu Zihua exclaimed, shocked. What was Fu Wenwen's status in the village to gain the support of half the villagers?
Even with his money, they were unwilling.
Fu Wenwen hadn't spent a cent, and they had willingly agreed?
All the educated youths found it unbelievable, but the Village Head had no interest in listening to them. He waved his hand, telling them to quiet down. "You questioned Fu Wenwen's expenditure of money for her work as a scorer, feeling it was unfair."
"But Fu Wenwen was still thinking of you. Originally, Secretary and I had arranged for a fixed person to teach. However, Fu Wenwen said it would be unfair to everyone and suggested that you all take turns teaching, giving everyone a chance," the Village Head told the educated youths.
Zhong Aiguo was startled, looking at the Village Head in disbelief. He had pointed at Fu Wenwen that day and deliberately said loudly that she had spent money to get the scorer's job.
But Fu Wenwen was thinking of them. She could have been the fixed teacher, yet she proposed that everyone take turns.
In an instant, a wave of shame washed over Zhong Aiguo, and he lowered his head.
"If you put yourselves in their shoes, would you choose to do this?" the Village Head looked at these educated youths, shook his head, and walked out with his hands behind his back. "There will be a notice on the village's small square tomorrow. Tonight, you will arrange the rotation order yourselves. In three months, excluding Su Zhiqing, each of you will teach for ten days."
"Give it to me tomorrow morning!" After saying that, the Village Head stepped out of the educated youth's dormitory.
After the Village Head left, everyone stood stunned for a while before coming back to their senses.
"I didn't expect... Fu Wenwen succeeded," Wang Qing suppressed the shock in his heart and looked at everyone. "You thought Fu Wenwen's job was unfairly obtained, but she was still thinking of us..."
"..." No one could refute Wang Qing's words.
Especially Ma Tian, who had even considered making a scene to get Fu Wenwen fired.
The educated youths felt uneasy. The self-condemnation and guilt made them speechless. Finally, they randomly set an order based on their arrival time in the countryside and returned to their rooms.
Lying on their beds, the educated youths had mixed feelings, and it was another sleepless night.
Liu Zihua looked at his book, but his mind was filled with the Fu Wenwen he remembered. She was spoiled, willful, arrogant, and often bullied Su Xiaoxiao. Such a person had accomplished something even he couldn't do...
Meanwhile, the protagonist they felt guilty about, Fu Wenwen, slept soundly with Lin An after receiving the news from the Village Head.
