Chapter 2213 Cousin is a capitalist lady 39
After learning from Zhao Yadong that the letter had been mailed, Zhang Yu was eager to know how things were progressing, but there was nothing she could do; the Zhang family certainly wouldn't inform her.

All she can hope for now is that after Zhang Li wins the heart of the beauty, Zhang Hui will come over and complain a bit, but that should take at least a year or two.

The most important thing now is to prepare the New Year's Eve dinner. Zhang Yu doesn't know if the other educated youth miss their families or look forward to going back home for the New Year, but she thinks it's good to stay here for the New Year.

But there are always people who have to pop up and make a fuss, just to show their presence. Zhan Min suggested that a meeting of educated youth be held, saying, "Brother Xiao is a good person, but I think your ideological work with the educated youth is not good enough."

What? The ideological work wasn't done well? Zhang Yu originally thought that Zhan Min would stop acting up after a few months in the countryside, but unexpectedly, she was still the same little Red Guard. She probably didn't act up before because she was busy with farm work, but now that it's winter break, she's starting to act up again.

When Xiao Lei heard Zhan Min suggest holding a meeting for educated youth, he was about to ask what needed to be discussed when Zhan Min said he hadn't done any ideological work with the educated youth. What was going on?

Although he was in charge of the educated youth settlement, would the other educated youth care about his thoughts on certain matters? Did he really need to conduct ideological work? Xiao Lei was utterly speechless.

“In that case, I suggest that you, Zhan Min, be in charge of the educated youth settlement.” Xiao Lei had long wanted to quit this job; the so-called head was just a title with no real benefits.

Xiao Lei wasn't someone who cared about these things. There were just too many trivial matters, and good things never came his way. Whenever something happened to an educated youth, the village would come looking for him, and he would be completely bewildered, not knowing who he could control.

The educated youth wanted to discuss matters with the village, so they thought of him, the so-called leader of the educated youth, and asked him to negotiate with the village.

He had long wanted to quit, but the village disagreed. Finally, after much pleading, the village chief relented, saying that anyone willing to take charge would be fine. However, no one was willing to take charge, so Xiao Lei had no choice but to continue.

Looking at Zhan Min now, Xiao Lei is thinking that he should just step down and let her do whatever she wants.

Zhan Min hadn't expected that Xiao Lei would ask her to be in charge of the youth settlement just for making a suggestion. How was she supposed to answer that? Should she agree or disagree? Of course, Zhan Min wanted to be in charge of the youth settlement, but if she just agreed directly, wouldn't it seem like she had been hoping for it all along?

While Zhan Min was thinking, the others objected, saying, "You can appoint anyone as the head of the educated youth settlement, but Zhan Min is not an option."

"Exactly, since she's in charge, she makes us sing all the time."

“That’s right, Xiao Lei, if you insist on making her the head of the educated youth settlement, I’ll just rent a house in the village.”

Having lived in the educated youth compound for several months, they knew a thing or two about Zhan Min's personality; she truly deserved to be called a rising star.

It is someone's freedom to do whatever they want, but you can't demand anything of them, such as expecting them to work hard or saying that they came to the countryside to play the role of educated youth and shouldn't just get three or five work points.

Zhan Min was actually targeting the Zhang sisters because they received fewer work points, which made her uncomfortable. What she didn't know was that several other people in the educated youth settlement received only slightly more work points than Zhang Yu and Zhang Hui.

Zhang Yu didn't care about saving face. As soon as she arrived in the village, she said she would do the easy work. As for the others, they didn't have Zhang Yu's thick skin. They thought they could just do less work. The village didn't care either, since they didn't need to pay for food or money in advance. In short, they got along harmoniously.

If Zhan Min hadn't been keeping a close eye on Zhang Yu and the others, she would definitely have noticed this situation. Unfortunately, she didn't pay any attention to the other educated youths.

They had initially been indifferent to Zhan Min's constant taunts and criticisms of the Zhang sisters, or they had simply watched Zhan Min's antics. Now, however, they were understandably anxious. What if Zhan Min really became the head of the educated youth settlement and turned her attention directly to them?

Zhan Min hadn't expected that before she could even express her opinion, the other educated youth would object, especially those who usually spoke with a smile. "Why am I not good?" she thought.

"I made you sing to boost morale."

“Every day when we go to work, it’s all sporadic.” Zhan Min felt that everyone’s movements were incredibly slow when it was time to go to work.

“It’s not even time to clock out yet, and some people are already leaving in a flash.” Zhan Min glared fiercely at Zhang Yu.

Zhang Yu knew that this person was actually talking about her, but she was sorry, she really didn't care, anyway, there were many people who didn't want her to be in charge.

"It's their business if they don't want to get more work points. The village chief and the others didn't object, so it's hard to say," one person said irritably.

"Exactly, aren't you an activist? Wait until you consistently earn ten work points before you tell us you want to be the head of the educated youth settlement." Someone really went to great lengths to prevent Zhan Min from becoming the head of the educated youth settlement, directly making this suggestion.

Huh? Zhan Min has to earn ten work points every day? Zhang Yu was shocked. You know, earning ten work points every day in the countryside is no easy task. It's not that no one can do it, but it's mostly boys who can. Occasionally, a girl can do it, but that's because she's the breadwinner of her family.

What? Zhan Min looked at the person who made the suggestion in disbelief. "What did you say? You actually want me to take ten work points every day. You didn't just say it directly because you don't want me to be the person in charge of the educated youth settlement."

Zhan Min's face turned red with anger. Why was it so difficult for her to become a small leader? These people were really going too far.

"Yes, they just don't want you to be in charge. They even hold meetings and do ideological work. If you're so capable, then stay in the city."

“I didn’t want to say this, but I feel I have to now,” a male educated youth said bluntly. “You think this place is far from your hometown? You don’t know, do you? One of my classmates went to the same school as your classmate.”

"You went to great lengths to avoid going to the countryside, running around and betraying your teacher, even trying to curry favor with the brother-in-law of the deputy director of the GWH. But what was the result?"

"Oh, by the way, you even considered getting married so you wouldn't have to be a sent-down youth, but unfortunately your mother wanted a higher dowry."

Zhang Yu looked at Zhan Min in surprise. My goodness, I really didn't expect her to be like this.

Zhang Hui was also surprised. She knew that Zhan Min had been targeting them a lot lately, often saying things like they were holding them back.

Zhang Yu noticed that Zhao Yadong and Qian Hao didn't show any shock at all. What was going on? Such explosive news, and they weren't surprised?

You know, Zhao Yadong would never miss a moment of excitement in the village, so there's definitely something wrong with this.

The most likely explanation is that they already knew. That's outrageous! It's really outrageous that they didn't even inform her of such big news sooner. Humph, they call themselves good friends? What kind of good friends are they?
