Because Jiang Hongjun was injured, Jiang Yun had taken a day off to look after him at the Educated Youth Hostel. Predictably, the production brigade leader took this as an excuse for dereliction of duty and stripped her of her position as a tally keeper.
Apart from the Jiang siblings, everyone else was thrilled by the news. After all, a golden opportunity had just opened up, and the others finally had a shot at it. As for Jiang Yun, her expression was beyond description.
Nearby, Hu Fangming was still gesturing wildly as he described Jiang Yun’s reaction, which could only be described as a bolt from the blue. The siblings’ situation was already dire; they were penniless, one brother was bedridden and required constant care, and the other wasn't much of a worker. They had been banking on the full work points from the tally keeper position to provide some income by the end of the year. Now, that was all ruined—it was a total disaster. Without the tally keeper position, given Jiang Yun’s slight frame, she could only earn four or five work points a day. Compared to what she had before, the difference was staggering.
