The Kitty Became a Cutie and Was Pampered in the 80s

"Since you’ve brought it up, let’s discuss it today. Come on, everyone, pass this around and have a look, those who can read, go ahead and read it out loud." Wu Guoqun had someone pass the document in his hands to the crowd. Someone in the crowd took it and glanced over the contents from beginning to end before reading it aloud.

Not everyone could read, but they were still able to understand what was said.

When they heard that Jianguo had contracted the land for five hundred a year, everyone fell silent.

"It’s not that I want to criticize you, but you never think about how to improve your own lives, instead you are constantly envious of how others live theirs. It’s a shame, really, since Jianguo even mentioned that if he becomes truly wealthy in the future, he’d pave roads for our village. But now, I think it’s unnecessary—just so you won’t again accuse him of ’sucking your blood’!"

"The mountain was there all along, and nobody stopped you from taking advantage of it. Why didn’t you think of making money from it yourselves? Now that someone else is earning money, you turn green with envy?"

"Your awareness is really inadequate. Jianguo signed this contract six months ago, but he kept it to himself. Why, you ask? He was worried you’d feel burdened, allowing you to go in and gather wild vegetables, mushrooms, bamboo shoots... He didn’t say a word, yet now you’re the ones complaining."

"And talking about him ’sucking your blood’, it makes me feel embarrassed for you!"
