The next day, the team leader called in some skilled bricklayers and carpenters from the village to build a house for Yuan Chun.
In those days, helping someone build a house came with no pay, but meals were provided.
Since Yuan Chun was staying at someone else's house, cooking was inconvenient, so she paid each of them eighty cents a day, which was the highest rate at the time. The workers made a profit and worked even harder for her.
That day, while Yuan Chun was helping to move bricks, Liu Baozhu and Liu Fuchai suddenly rushed over and charged at her, "You cheap woman, did you withdraw our school fees? You took away our tuition and food rations, give them back..."
Bang bang...
Yuan Chun kicked each of them to the ground.
She sneered, "Your tuition? Your food? You come back home and act like the lords of the manor, you don't even help when the oil tank comes, where did you get tuition and food?"
