Chapter 634 Stop Going to Work

So Lu Qiaoge continued, "Aunt Tian, ​​times have changed. This is a new society that emphasizes gender equality and the glory of labor!"

We workers are the masters of the country, not slaves of the old society!

Liang Min is an outstanding worker trained by our food factory. Back home, she is also an important member of the family.

She deserves her family's understanding and love, not endless demands and exploitation!

Lu Qiaoge paused, her gaze sweeping over Old Tian, ​​who was bowing his head and silent, and Tian Daming, who looked embarrassed. After a few breaths, she changed the subject and began to criticize: "Liang Min is working overtime and contributing to the country. Can't you guys take care of yourselves?"

I also saw that none of Comrade Liang Min's family members are incapable of taking care of themselves.

You take laziness for granted and use feudalistic outdated ideas like "women should cook" as an excuse to make things difficult for a good comrade who works hard for the family and the factory. Is this how a simple working-class family should behave?

Then he said to Old Lady Tian, ​​"Aunt Tian, ​​actually your family doesn't meet the requirements for not working overtime at all, but we still agreed, just so that your family can be harmonious."

I think it's perfectly reasonable for you to ask me for an explanation.

So I came to your house to have a proper discussion with you.

We're not discussing anything else, we just want our factory workers to have the understanding and support of their families after a long day's work. At the very least, we want her to not have to cook dinner tonight, so she can get some rest, but..."

At this point, Lu Qiaoge raised her hand and looked at her watch: "I've been at your Tian family's house for fifteen minutes already, and not a single one of you has cooked. Aren't you hungry? Aren't the children hungry? What are you trying to do by dragging this out?"

Tian Daming's face turned red.

He looked at his mother with some anger. If she hadn't stopped him, he would have gone into the kitchen right now. Whether he cooked or not, it was all about attitude.

Lu Qiaoge sighed and said helplessly, "It was originally a very simple matter, why did it become complicated?"

Yes, just now it was Old Lady Tian acting all high and mighty, while everyone else was calm. Why did the atmosphere suddenly become so strange?

At this point, Lao Tian's family didn't know what to do. After all, it was the first time they had encountered such a situation, and their minds were blank.

Tian Daming was caught in a dilemma: whether to cook or not.

Lu Qiaoge decisively concluded: "I know what's going on. If Comrade Liang Min doesn't come to work, all the problems will be solved."

Everyone was startled when these words were spoken.

Even Liang Min's face turned pale.

I don't know why Lu Qiaoge said such a thing?

Granny Tian grew anxious, staring wide-eyed at Lu Qiaoge and asking, "What do you mean? I don't understand! What do you mean that if my daughter-in-law doesn't go to work, the problem will be solved?"

Lu Qiaoge said matter-of-factly, "Overtime work is unavoidable at our Xiangyang Food Factory. This time, I made the decision to allow Comrade Liang Min to not work overtime, and perhaps everyone can understand. But what about next time?"

You are all healthy and able to take care of yourselves, so what reason do I have to disagree with Comrade Liang Min working overtime?

She'll have to work overtime then, and there'll still be no one to cook dinner. Aunt Tian, ​​you'll have to come and settle accounts with me.

Since that's the case, let's solve this once and for all. Liang Min will stop working and focus on doing housework, cooking, and serving you. Are you satisfied with this outcome?

Old Tian looked at Lu Qiaoge in disbelief. He was the first to react: "Director Lu, are you kidding me?"

Lu Qiaoge said with a cold face and a very serious expression, "I'm not joking. Aunt Tian also said that the work at the factory is important, but the harmony of your family is also very important."

Even if I were the factory manager of a food factory, I couldn't say that what you said was wrong.

If both cannot be taken care of, then one must be sacrificed.

Given your family's situation, we have no choice but to sacrifice Comrade Liang Min's job.

So, I'm serious, I'm not joking with you guys.

Starting tomorrow, Comrade Liang Min no longer needs to come to work!

As she said these words, Lu Qiaoge gave Liang Min, whose face was pale and looked like she was about to cry, a wink.

If it were an ordinary woman, she might give her a look that the other person wouldn't understand.

But Liang Min, who had grown up reading adults' expressions, could definitely understand it. Sure enough, Liang Min seemed to break down and shouted in a trembling voice, "Fine, are you satisfied now? I have no job, and I won't get a salary from now on. I won't be able to afford to buy food, drinks, or other necessities for the family anymore."

Mom, you're still thinking about saving money to get your youngest son married? Keep dreaming.

But if you want to kick me out, no way.

You guys took my job, so you have to support me and be responsible for me for the rest of my life...

——

The moon rises above the willow branches, and a gentle breeze blows.

Qin Hengzhi, who was waiting for Lu Qiaoge by the roadside, saw his little sweetheart walk out of Building No. 10 with a smile on her lips and light steps.

It seems the problem has been solved.

Qin Hengzhi ran over; he knew Lu Qiaoge had driven.

While in the car, Qin Hengzhi listened to Lu Qiaoge's complaints with a smile on his lips.

"...I should have told Lao Tian's family as soon as I walked in that Liang Min had to work overtime. If she caused a conflict at home because of it, then she shouldn't go to work. After all, everyone's family is important, but so is your own family..."

"This wasted twenty minutes of my time. It seems that you can't persuade or educate some people. Giving them a result directly is much more effective than saying a lot of things."

Qin Hengzhi couldn't help but chuckle softly.

Lu Qiaoge was also there, chuckling.

I couldn't help but recall what happened in the room just now; it was indeed quite funny.

This proves once again that as long as someone is human, they are very complex.

Even someone as worldly-wise as her often can't predict what a person will do next.

Liang Min, who was usually obedient, started yelling and shouting, taking advantage of the situation. Old Tian, ​​Old Tian's wife, and even Tian Daming were not angry at all, but were actually startled.

Then Old Tian picked up Ranran, who was crying loudly, and Old Tian's wife and Tian Daming went to the kitchen together.

Old Mrs. Tian said, "Oh dear, it's just cooking! I can do such a simple thing!"

She even gave Tian Daming a push: "Hurry up and wash that cabbage, I'll make hot soup with noodles."

He didn't forget to turn back and remind Liang Min, "Xiao Min, what did your company have for dinner tonight? Are you hungry too? You take good care of your factory manager, and I'll cook more... so you can stay and eat with us."

Even Tian Xiaoming, Tian Daming's younger brother who had been sitting in the corner watching the commotion, looked at Lu Qiaoge and Liang Min in disbelief.

Their faces all said, "Oh dear, I can't lose this job, otherwise I won't have enough money to get married in the future!"

Working overtime is bad, but... the thing mentioned above actually happens...
