Transmigration: On the Gossip Front

After Zhang Yu found out from Zhao Yadong that the letter had already been mailed out, she was eager to know how things were progressing, but there was no way. The Zhang Family on that side definitely wouldn’t inform her.

What she could hope for now was that Zhang Li would succeed in winning over the beauty, and then Zhang Hui would come over to complain about it, but surely that would be in a year or two.

The most important thing right now is to prepare for the New Year’s Eve dinner. Zhang Yu doesn’t know if the other intellectual youths miss their families and look forward to going home for the New Year. Anyway, she feels that staying here for the New Year is pretty good.

There’s always someone who has to jump out and make a fuss, as if to assert their presence. Zhan Min suggested holding an intellectual youth meeting, "Brother Xiao is a good person, but I think you’re not doing enough ideological work with the intellectual youth."

What? Not enough ideological work? Zhang Yu initially thought that after a few months in the countryside, Zhan Min wouldn’t make a fuss. Who would have thought that she was still that enthusiastic young pioneer? Previously, she didn’t make a fuss because she was busy with farm work, but now during the winter break, she starts wanting to make a fuss.

Xiao Lei heard Zhan Min suggest holding an intellectual youth meeting and wanted to ask what the meeting was about. Then he heard Zhan Min say that he hadn’t done any ideological work with the intellectual youth? What’s happening?

Although he is the leader of the intellectual youth point, can you really say that the many intellectual youths care about his opinions on some matters? And yet, he has to do ideological work? Xiao Lei was completely speechless.

"In that case, I propose that Zhan Min should be the leader of the intellectual youth point." Xiao Lei had long wanted to give up this role. The so-called leader was just a title with no benefits at all.

Xiao Lei doesn’t really care about these things. It’s just that there are too many tedious tasks, and he doesn’t get any good stuff. If any intellectual youth gets into trouble, the village blames him, and he’s bewildered, wondering whom he can really manage.

When the intellectual youths want to negotiate something with the village, they remember him as the so-called leader and ask him to go negotiate with the village.

He had long wanted to quit, but the village wouldn’t agree. After much pestering, the village chief finally relented, saying anyone willing to be the leader could take the role. But in the end, no one wanted to be the leader, so Xiao Lei had no choice but to continue.

Now looking at Zhan Min, Xiao Lei thought about stepping down and letting her handle whatever she wants to do.

Zhan Min didn’t expect that she just made a suggestion and Xiao Lei actually wanted her to be the leader. How should she respond, agree or disagree? Of course, Zhan Min hopes to be the leader of the intellectual youth point, but if she agrees directly, won’t it appear that she’s been hoping for this all along?

While Zhan Min was contemplating, the others stood their ground, "You can let anyone be the leader of the intellectual youth point, but Zhan Min won’t work."

"Exactly, if she becomes the leader, she’ll make us sing all the time."

"Yes, Xiao Lei, if you insist on letting her be the leader, I’ll just go rent a house in the village."

Everyone has lived in the Educated Youth Courtyard for several months and has some idea of Zhan Min’s personality. She truly lives up to her role as an enthusiastic young pioneer.

Normally, if someone wants to fuss, it’s their freedom, but they shouldn’t impose on others, like saying that work must be diligently done, that they have come to the countryside to play the role of knowledgeable youth, and shouldn’t just earn three to five workpoints, etc.

In fact, Zhan Min was targeting Zhang Yu and her sister, who earned fewer workpoints, which she found irritating. What she didn’t realize was that several people at the intellectual youth point only earned slightly more workpoints than Zhang Yu and Zhang Hui.

Zhang Yu doesn’t care about pride and openly said she wanted to do easy work as soon as she arrived at the village. As for the others, they don’t have Zhang Yu’s thick skin and think that at worst they’ll do less work. The village doesn’t mind anyway, as they don’t draw on food or money, and everyone coexists harmoniously.

If only Zhan Min didn’t constantly keep an eye on Zhang Yu and her group, she’d definitely discover this situation. Unfortunately, she doesn’t notice the other intellectual youth at all.

Originally, everyone was indifferent to Zhan Min’s constant disdain toward Zhang Yu and her sister, or they simply watched as Zhan Min made a fuss.

Now, everyone was getting anxious. What if Zhan Min really became the leader of the intellectual youth point and directly targeted them?

Zhan Min didn’t expect that before she could express her opinion, other intellectual youths opposed her, especially those who usually spoke with a smile, "Why am I unfit?"

"I ask you to sing, that’s also to boost morale."

"Every day during work, it’s just so scattered." Zhan Min felt that whenever everyone went to work, their actions were really slow.

"Before the work day is done, someone just scurries away." Zhan Min glared viciously at Zhang Yu.

Zhang Yu knew that this person was actually referring to her. But sorry, she really didn’t care. After all, there were many people opposed to having her as a leader.

"If someone doesn’t want higher workpoints, that’s their business. The village chief hasn’t objected either, has he?" someone retorted unhappily.

"Yes, aren’t you an enthusiastic member? Wait until you continuously get ten workpoints a day and then talk to us about being the leader of the intellectual youth point." Someone really put in a lot of effort to prevent Zhan Min from becoming the leader, directly suggesting this.

Huh? Suggesting that Zhan Min get ten workpoints every day? Zhang Yu was shocked. You must know, getting ten workpoints a day in the countryside isn’t easy. It’s not that no one has done it, but those who can are generally men. Occasionally, when a woman does it, it’s because she’s the backbone of her family.

What? Zhan Min couldn’t believe she was looking at the person who suggested this, "You said, what you said, you’re actually suggesting I get ten workpoints every day. If you don’t want me as a leader, just say it, you’re skipping right to challenging me."

Zhan Min was fuming, her face was red. Why is it so hard to be a little leader, these people are just too much.

"Right, we just don’t want you to be the leader. Enough with the meetings and ideological work, if you have the guts, stay in the city."

"I wasn’t going to say anything, but I feel it necessary now." A male intellectual youth rudely said, "You think being here is far from your hometown, you probably don’t know, but I have a classmate and yours from the same school."

"He said you’ve stirred up trouble just to avoid the countryside, climbing everywhere and selling out your teacher and cozying up to the GWH deputy director’s nephew. But how did that end?"

"Oh yes, you even thought about getting married to avoid being an intellectual youth, but your mom wanted a larger dowry."

Zhang Yu was shocked looking at Zhan Min, Oh my, truly unexpected that this was what she was like.

Zhang Hui was equally surprised, knowing that during this time, Zhan Min hadn’t spared them her criticism, often saying they were holding back the collective.

Zhang Yu realized that Zhao Yadong and Qian Hao didn’t show any surprise. What’s going on here? Such explosive news and they’re not startled?

You have to know that whenever there’s any excitement in the village, Zhao Yadong would never miss it, there’s definitely something fishy here.

The most likely scenario is that they knew this long ago, how unfair, truly unfair, such big news and they didn’t inform her sooner, hmph, they say they’re close but what’s this supposed closeness.
