Chapter 144 A Woman of Steel and Eagle
As soon as Zhou Xinhong returned home, she locked herself in the room and burst into tears. Sun Wenxiu came back with her homework and heard her crying. She wanted to go in and persuade her, but found that the door was locked, so she didn't go in.
Zhou Xinhong felt extremely wronged and embarrassed. She and Brother Zhan were childhood sweethearts and had a deep relationship. The relationship between their two families was also very good.
Even if he had realized that he had not really gone to him just to ask him to explain the problem, he should not have said it directly.
He also asked her mother to find a tutor starting from junior high school. Isn't this asking her not to go to him for questions anymore, and also to slap her in the face for that country girl?
Even if she goes to high school, she doesn't even have the basics of a junior high school student. It's a slap in the face that she is not even as good as a junior high school student and doesn't even know the knowledge of junior high school.
And in front of my cousin, I didn't give her any face at all.
"It's all because of that country girl..."
It was obvious that before that country girl came into the picture, Brother Zhan had always been very good to her, and his relationship with her was closer than with other girls in the compound.
Even if she was a little naughty and made some small mistakes, Brother Zhan would tolerate her and would not criticize her.
But today, he treated her like this for that country girl.
Zhou Xinhong cried for a long time, and by the time she had dinner at night, her eyes were swollen.
During dinner, Zhou Weimin asked her what happened, and she said in a muffled voice, "There's sand in my eyes. I rubbed them."
Zhou Weimin did not ask any further questions.
Sun Tieying took a few bites of rice, but because he had something on his mind, he couldn't swallow it anymore, so he put down his bowl and chopsticks.
Looking at Zhou Weimin, he asked, "Old Zhou, did you know that the military district was going to re-elect the director of women's affairs at the family compound?"
What?
Zhou Xinhong and Sun Wenxiu both widened their eyes in shock.
Zhou Weimin took a mouthful of rice. Sun Tieying slammed the table and shouted with red eyes, "Don't play dumb."
Zhou Weimin looked at her and asked, "So what if I knew it a long time ago?"
"You should have told me if you knew it earlier." Sun Tieying shouted.
"What's the use of telling you? Can you change the result? Even if you knew, you would still be yelling in front of me like you are now." Zhou Weimin also became angry and slammed his chopsticks heavily on the table.
Sun Tieying: “…”
"I can't change it, but you can go to the military district leaders and talk to them on my behalf."
"I, Sun Tieying, have been the director of women's affairs for so many years, working tirelessly and never slacking off. The military district can't just fire me like this."
If she fails to become the director of the women's department, everyone will think that she was fired because she didn't do her job well, and she will never be able to hold her head up again.
Sun Tieying has been strong all her life and cannot accept such a shameful thing.
Zhou Xinhong was anxious and quickly said to her father, "Dad, please help Mom. If the director of the women's department is replaced, others will definitely laugh at Mom and our family."
Zhou Weimin said, "I don't have that much say. The military district's reporting mailbox has received three letters of complaint these days, all of which are accusing you, the director of women's affairs, of unfair treatment."
"Please come to my house and mediate the conflicts between the couple or the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. After you're done, they'll be ready to eat rat poison."
"One of the letters said someone actually drank the medicine, but it turned out to be cockroach medicine. They vomited it out because it tasted so disgusting, otherwise they would have died."
He also read the three letters of complaint and felt angry after reading them. How could anyone advise others to just endure things and look for the reasons in themselves? Not only was his thinking feudal, but he was also trying to smooth things over.
My wife is the director of the Women's Department. She should be helping women in difficulties, supporting them, and helping them resolve family conflicts, but she does her job like this.
Zhou Weimin also felt ashamed and could not raise his head in front of his leaders.
Therefore, after the leaders said that they wanted to re-elect the director of women's affairs, he did not express any opinions, and did not want to talk to Sun Tieying.
Sun Tieying was stunned at first, then blushed and said, "Slander! This is clearly slander!"
"I have mediated family conflicts, and the whole family was satisfied. They reconciled and lived in harmony. Only then did these things not happen." When she said this, a number of angry faces suddenly flashed before her eyes, and she felt a little unsure.
"It was Yu Hui. It must have been Yu Hui who made up these stories and wrote the malicious letter to report me."
Zhou Weimin pounded the table with his hand. "These are all real-name reports."
Although the leaders covered up the name when they showed it to him, they all knew who the whistleblower was.
There is no such thing as Yu Hui fabricating stories to maliciously report her.
Report in real name?
Those people must hate her so much that they would report her with their real names.
"Even if it wasn't Yu Hui who reported it, it was because of her..."
Sun Tieying stopped talking before he finished speaking.
Zhou Weimin finished her unfinished words, "It's because of her that they had the courage to report you by real name."
"Because they discovered that you, the Women's Director, are not someone they cannot afford to offend, and neither am I, the Deputy Head."
Sun Tieying's face turned pale and he remained silent.
Before Yu Hui appeared, her prestige as the director of the Women's Department had never been challenged by anyone.
Yu Hui repeatedly embarrassed the women's director, apologized to her, and made her admit her injustice.
While challenging her prestige, it also made others doubt her fairness and feel that her prestige was not so sacred and inviolable.
That's why they dared to write letters of complaint.
Zhou Weimin didn't eat either, so he got up and went into the study.
"Wow, wow, wow..." Sun Tieying, who always felt that she was a woman of steel and an eagle, covered her face and burst into tears.
"Mom..." Zhou Xinhong quickly hugged her mother and her eyes became red as well.
"Wow, I have made so many contributions to the military families' home, they can't treat me like this, woo, woo, woo..." Sun Tieying, like an iron eagle, cried so aggrievedly that even now he doesn't think he was wrong.
It was the first time that Zhou Xinhong saw her mother cry like this. She felt heartbroken and angry, and hated Yu Hui and Gu Qiuyan even more.
Today, one of them made her cry because she was wronged, and the other made her mother cry because she was wronged.
She won't let them go!
Zhou Xinhong secretly made up her mind.
At this moment, Gu Qiuyan and Yu Hui, who were eating, sneezed at the same time.
Zhao Changying frowned, "Are you guys catching a cold?"
Yu Hui rubbed her nose and shook her head, "No, my nose just suddenly felt itchy."
Gu Qiuyan tugged at her earlobe and said, "My ears are a little hot too."
"Come to think of it, my ears are a little hot too." Yu Hui touched her ears.
Zhao Changying pondered for a moment, "Then someone must be talking about you."
Yu Hui and Gu Qiuyan looked at each other.
Who would talk about us at the same time?
At 8:30 in the evening, after taking a bath in the big bathhouse, everyone went home in groups of three or five.
Sun Wenxiu held the basin and whispered to her cousin, who was in a bad mood, "Xinhong, Brother Zhan is upset because of what Gu Qiuyan did to you today, and because her mother caused Aunt to lose her job as the director of women's affairs. Do you want to let it go?"
