Chapter 75 This is not the content of Subject 1

Zhou Ranran asked a soul-searching question.

Li Yuan walked to the bathroom with a smile on his face, without closing the door, and with his back to Zhou Ranran.

After a while, the sound of water was heard.

Afterwards, Li Yuan cleaned up, turned around, and said, "Sister Ran, I can't prove that I'm a man, but I can prove that I'm not a woman. This is not like other countries, there are only two genders, male and female. If you think I can't prove it this way, then why don't you do the same as me?"

Zhou Ranran frowned.

This guy doesn't look like a college student at all now.

Li Yuan walked over, put his arm around Zhou Ranran's shoulders, and pulled her towards the bed.

Zhou Ranran looked disgusted and asked, "Have you washed your hands?"

"No need to wash your hands. Do you need to wash your hands after you take something edible?"

"You are so shameless now."

The most painful thing is that Zhou Ranran understands...

After Zhou Ranran sat down, Li Yuan asked, "Did Uncle Fang say anything?"

Zhou Ranran frowned, "That's my dad, what can I say?"

"You just left without saying anything? You didn't even want a handsome guy, a strong man to be with you? What's wrong? Do you have someone else outside?"

"I have your head!"

Zhou Ranran raised her hand, but still couldn't bear to hit him.

"Then why are you being so pretentious? Just stay with us, who can do anything to you? If you can't get over this, I'll ask Haozi to go find Uncle Youfang for some practice. He can beat three of them by himself!"

Zhou Ranran rolled her eyes. Li Yuan could actually say such words.

"Now that you have a girlfriend, you should focus on your studies. If I delay you from finding a girlfriend, I will be the sinner of the whole village."

"What criminal? The people in the village only say that. They are afraid of the Third Master. They are afraid of being disliked. Most importantly, they are afraid of losing face."

The village where Li Yuan lives is called Xigang Village. A group of people moved here decades ago to open up new land independently.

Because they are not considered locals, they are inevitably excluded, so Xigang Village has established many rules. For example , the whole village must give financial support to those who get admitted to university, and villagers must help each other as long as they are away from home.

Over time, the atmosphere of mutual help in the entire village became more and more intense.

When Li Yuan was admitted to university, even those families who had moved away long ago asked others to bring him gift money.

The oldest person in the village now is the 98-year-old Third Master. Everyone is called this regardless of their surname.

The third master even controls the village chief. If he hears that someone is bullying one of his own people, he would go and hit that family on the head with his cane.

Commonly known as, blow your dog's head off.

Li Yuan's father's generation can be said to be the one that benefited the most from this rule.

The entire village would go out to work together, and because they were in numbers, they were rarely bullied.

Ten or twenty years ago, it was normal for a few people to disappear in other villages, and no one even knew where they died. However, not a single person was missing in Xigang Village, and no foreman even dared to delay their wages.

However, any rules have their limitations, and in today's world, such rules are slowly being eliminated.

Because the powerful people will be particularly powerful, and the not-so-powerful people will be particularly lame.

The gap is so big, who will really help?

It’s not like before, when everyone is about the same, you earn 3,000 and I earn 2,500, no one looks down on anyone else, and no one is much better than anyone else.

What about now? There are several doctors in the village who can earn millions a year. And those who farm at home can only make 20,000 to 30,000 yuan a year.

Both of them work outside and only earn about 100,000 yuan a year. The gap is too big.

It's just because of the Third Master's face that everyone appears to be a harmonious family on the surface, but in reality, things have long been different.

Zhou Ranran didn't expect Li Yuan to say this.

If you say this in the village, you will definitely be scolded.

"Even so, the village can at least maintain its dignity. If something really happens, everyone will help."

"There is only one last fig leaf left."

“It would be nice if it could continue.”

Zhou Ranran likes that village very much, and it is because of this that she developed her character.

Li Yuan shook his head. "It can't be maintained. More than a decade ago, the Third Master was the undisputed helmsman. Whatever he said was the truth, and everyone had to listen. Because according to the background of that era, following the Third Master's rules had only advantages and no disadvantages. And now? Do you remember He Jianchuan? He is ten years older than us, and now he is the chief doctor in a private hospital, earning at least a million a year. Do you think he will still listen to the Third Master's words?"

"Doesn't he always come back to the village during festivals?"

"That's because his father wanted to come back to visit. Otherwise, why would he come back? With only a shabby house and a few pieces of wasteland at home?"

"Don't talk nonsense. He should have given you a gift money for getting into college, right?"

Zhou Ranran wasn’t sure, but guessed that it should have been given.

Li Yuan affirmed, "Yes. I didn't say he did something wrong. I just said that the rules of the Third Master are no longer suitable for today's society. His rules cannot bring benefits to the whole village. When he is gone, it will be the beginning of the complete disintegration of the entire Xigang Village."

“Is there still a chance to go back to the past?”

“No chance.”

"Why?"

"Because the third master is too poor, he has no money. If he could give one million yuan to every family in the village every year, even He Jianchuan's family would be willing to live in the village honestly, and he would personally attend all the big and small events among the villagers."

"You're talking nonsense again!"

Li Yuan explained with a smile: "I'm not talking nonsense. Look at some villages in the south. Even in foreign countries, they are very strong. No matter if they are rich or poor, their interests are tied together, so no matter who they are, they will try their best to maintain the existence of this rule. Some ancient noble families can even continue their bloodline for thousands of years. In fact, it is just the right division of interests. If no one comes out to re-plan the interests of Xigang Village, Xigang Village will not go far."

Zhou Ranran looked at Li Yuan with a meaningful look, "Don't you have any ideas?"

"What do you think?"

"Come out and reorganize the interests of Xigang Village. You have the ability to do so."

"I can't do that. This kind of work is thankless and I don't have such a great spirit of dedication. If I have money in the future and people want me to help them with a little, I won't refuse as long as it does not violate my principles."

In fact, Li Yuan knows the benefits of sticking together. Even if you get shot in the future, there will be someone to block it for you.

But he simply didn't have the energy or the extra money to waste on that right now.

"oh."

Zhou Ranran was a little disappointed.

Li Yuan patted her shoulder and said, "Sister Ran, you really don't have to consider your family's thoughts too much. In this world, even the closest people will be involved in some interests."

"What about us? What are our interests?"

"Uh... this... Sister Ran, just pretend to be confused."

"No, you have to explain it clearly!"

"This... I just said too much at once. Now my mind is a mess and I can't explain it clearly."

Zhou Ranran looked at Li Yuan with a strange look in her eyes. "You don't want me to help you eat the paste, do you?"

"Ah? What?"

"Um?"

Zhou Ranran snorted softly.

Li Yuan: “???”

What is Zhou Ranran talking about?

Oh my god!

Didn’t Zhou Ranran still have her driver’s license?
