Chapter 67: White Trouble
She has been thinking about this question for a long time.
If possible, she would like to change her last name.
"What?"
Secretary Wu was a little worried that he didn't hear clearly.
Nowadays, the more people in a family, the more work points you can earn, which means life can be a little better. Many people are unwilling to separate after getting married and having a family. It is not easy to start a new life!
It is only in recent years that the harvests have been good. In the early years, countless people starved to death. Not to mention a girl, even a slightly weaker man would not dare to say that he had set up a single household.
"I want to move my household registration out of the Wu family."
Su Tong's voice was not loud, but his tone was firm.
Now everyone heard it clearly, and there was silence for a moment.
After all, this issue does not involve welfare, and there are no relevant policy regulations. It is truly the Wu family's family affair.
Even if a leader goes to the grassroots level to solve a problem, he can't say that he is helping people divide their property!
Minister Li turned his gaze to Town Mayor Yang, who looked at Party Secretary Wu. Party Secretary Wu looked at Ma Daming and found that Ma Daming was also frowning.
Before Secretary Wu could speak, Ma Daming said, "Girl, how can a girl like you set up a household on your own?"
"Yes! Yes! There is no precedent for this. Mainly... it's not easy for the village to handle it!"
Secretary Wu was so panicked!
Just say that Tongya is a new hero...
Oh! There was only one such hero in the whole county. And then, while this "hero" was still in the limelight, he was driven out of his home and forced to live alone!
Just like this...the saliva from the surrounding villages can drown Yunshan Village!
Whether it can be rated as an “advanced village” is a matter of debate. As the village party secretary, he has to have some dignity too!
"Tongya! Your mother has a hot temper. We will seriously criticize and educate her later! Even if things don't go well, you still have your father, your grandmother, and your uncle. There are always people to take charge of the family for you. We have a home to rely on. We are always a family. We can discuss everything!
Even if we take a step back, you will be 19 after the Chinese New Year, and you will be getting married and starting a family soon. By then, your household registration will naturally be moved out, right?
No matter what, having a family and someone to help you is better than living alone as a girl."
After Secretary Wu finished speaking a few earnest words, he wiped his sweat off his forehead.
The other leaders did not say anything, and it seemed that they agreed with this statement.
Seeing that the leaders did not express their opinions under such circumstances, Su Tong knew that this matter was really difficult to handle, so he nodded and said:
"Oh! That's all."
"What? What's gone?"
Secretary Wu asked again. He always felt that his brain was not working well today.
"Then there's nothing else to do."
After Su Tong finished speaking, he took a step back, looking like he wasn't ready to speak again.
It would be best if her household registration could be moved out. If she cannot move out, it will not have much impact on her at the moment. Anyway, she will not let the old Wu family exploit her for even a penny.
Besides... she had some doubts about "Wu Tong's" background and needed to inquire further, so for now, let them jump around for a few more days.
Everyone was stunned again.
This girl doesn't talk much, and it seems like her brain isn't very active either!
Shouldn’t we strive for something for ourselves at this time? The leaders are all…
I finally made a request, but it's so irrelevant. It makes me feel a little bit reluctant at first glance!
“Mmm…”
Wang Guilan over there had been holding it in for a long time and was about to start cursing again as she jumped up and down.
Wu Dongling covered Wang Guilan's mouth and said to her mother proudly:
"Mom! Why are you so anxious? See, I was right! The house and the things in it still have to be named Wu!"
It happened to be quiet at this moment, and everyone heard this sentence again, and the atmosphere suddenly became stagnant again.
Secretary Wu could no longer bear it, and without waiting for other leaders to speak, he shouted at the mother and daughter:
"Wang Guilan! We are both daughters, but look at each other! Look at the difference! What are you scheming for every day, old woman? You don't work hard but always make things difficult for your own daughter! I tell you, you have to pay Tongya for everything you broke today. So many leaders are watching! If there is anything missing, I will deduct it from your work points!"
"You damn disaster... um... um..."
When Wang Guilan heard that she had to pay compensation, she finally broke free from Wu Dongling's hand and struggled to curse again, but was dragged away by a few strong young men ordered by Secretary Wu.
As soon as Wang Guilan left, the group of people who came to cause trouble left in shame.
The world is finally quiet.
Minister Li sighed and repeatedly asked Su Tong if he had any other difficulties. Su Tong only said:
"I hope that journalists will write more about the group when reporting on this incident, and not highlight individuals, especially not my name."
Reporter Xiao Zhang agreed with tears in her eyes. She felt her pen was trembling. She felt that she would be able to write an inspiring and touching masterpiece this time.
Secretary Wu's face turned red with embarrassment the whole time. He felt a little embarrassed. Finally, he rummaged through his pocket for a long time, took out a ten-yuan bill, and stuffed it into Su Tong's hand in front of a group of leaders.
"Tongya! I'm sorry that you've suffered because I didn't think it through! This is a personal gift from me to you. I'll buy you some things to help you out. If you have any problems in the future, be sure to tell me!"
When Secretary Wu took out his money, the other leaders looked at each other and started to search their pockets as well.
When Su Tong saw this, he quickly said:
"I appreciate Secretary Wu's kindness. After all, he is the elder of the Wu family. Other leaders, please don't spend money. Although I live alone, please believe in my determination to be self-reliant!"
When she said this, the leaders nodded approvingly and withdrew their hands.
Secretary Wu watched Su Tong put the ten yuan into his pocket.
This kid still lacks some social skills. If he wants to be self-reliant, he should be more determined. Why does he charge me ten dollars?
When the courtyard finally became quiet, the two old men came out of the woodshed and began to clean up the house in silence.
Su Tong and a few others escorted the leaders and their entourage out of the yard, and watched them walk a long way away before turning their heads to look at Ma Daming standing next to them.
"Sure! Uncle Ma! You're really good at speaking! You solved my housing problem in just a few words!"
Ma Daming stretched his neck proudly, "That's right! Your uncle Ma is also a big shot in Yunshan Village! Back then... Shitou's mother fell in love with me..."
"Dad—why are you blowing it again!"
Shitou interrupted Ma Daming and said, "If Sister Tongya hadn't asked me to calculate the time to call the reporters and leaders, you would have no place to show your talents!"
"Yes! You and your father are both heroes! I'll reward you with a good meal today!" Su Tong smiled.
Shitou made a bitter face, "Everything is broken! How can I eat delicious food?"
Su Tong glanced at him and said, "What did you break? Those broken bowls belonged to Lao Qi and Lao Lin. I wanted to replace them for a long time!"
Shitou scratched his head, not quite understanding what Su Tong meant. Ma Daming also came over and asked in confusion:
"Yes! Tongya, I saw the meat hanging in your kitchen this morning. Why didn't Wang Guilan find it?"
Su Tong sighed, "I knew she would come to cause trouble, how could I not be prepared at all?"
