And here in the cafeteria,
Chu Yunzheng and Liang Shengnan were eating and chatting.
They were near the window and there was no one around.
Liang Shengnan was filled with emotion and did not hide anything from Chu Yun when she talked about the past.
When she was born, because her parents favored boys over girls and her family was poor, she was sent to her uncle's house as soon as she was born.
My uncle and his wife had no children. Both sides were educated people and they did not dislike the girl. Instead, they named her Liang Shengnan, hoping that she would be better than the boy in the future.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. When she was six years old, her aunt became pregnant and her uncle had to move south due to a change in his job. Her aunt had to go with him. The two of them went to develop in an unfamiliar city, and her pregnant aunt was unable to take care of her at all.
She was sent back to her biological parents, but they didn't care about her at all and abandoned her to her blind grandmother.
When she grew up, her parents secretly used her household registration book to marry her off in exchange for a dowry to help support her brother's wedding. She was betrothed to a man she had never met.
She tried to escape, ran away, and called the police, but because she had a marriage contract with a gift and a marriage certificate with an official seal, she was sent back to her husband's family every time.
In this cannibalistic era, she had no choice but to compromise. Her husband was cowardly and addicted to gambling, and she was unwilling to live like this for the rest of her life.
She started as a temporary female worker in a factory, picked up books to study, tried her best to work a hundred times harder than others, worked hard and kept working hard to seize opportunities to move up.
No one knows how much hardship she endured, but she did it. Just like her name, she surpassed all the male comrades in the factory and became the only female leader.
At this point, tears welled up in Liang Shengnan's eyes. She wiped away her tears with an embarrassed smile and said, "Oh, it's easy to be sentimental when you get older. I'm sorry to embarrass you."
Chu Yun took the initiative to step forward, hugged the person and patted him comfortingly, saying seriously: "The boat has sailed through thousands of mountains and rivers, it's all over, Sister Liang, you are super amazing, and as a lesbian, I am proud of you."
You have to know that in the 1970s and 1980s, the times were overly harsh on female comrades, and there were very few such brave female comrades. It is never wrong for women to be independent and self-reliant, and she deserves the admiration of female compatriots.
Liang Shengnan felt the warm embrace and listened to the words "the boat has passed through thousands of mountains". She laughed and then cried.
Apart from her childhood memories of being hugged by her uncle and aunt, this was the first time that someone outsider hugged her and comforted her.
She was a girl much younger than herself.
She withstood the worldly pressure and insisted on getting a divorce. She had never cried like this during the most difficult times, but now she was just moved by a little girl.
Chu Yun used his body to block out the outside world and let her cry in his arms.
She is only in her early thirties and is actually just a sister a few years older than me. Perhaps only people who have experienced similar things can empathize with this feeling.
After a brief emotional outburst, Liang Shengnan quickly calmed down, holding the person's hand and thanking him.
"Sister Chu Yun, thank you for today. I truly treat you as my sister. If you need me in the future, just let me know."
Chu Yun didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and replied casually: "Not really, but if there is anything I don't understand, I will definitely ask Sister Liang for advice."
Liang Shengnan smiled and clapped the other person's hand, her face full of emotion: "Okay, I don't have many relatives or friends, and you and I get along well. Let's visit each other more often in the future."
After the meal, the relationship between the two became obviously closer.
…
After sending Chu Yun out of the factory, Liang Shengnan prepared to go to the garment department to keep an eye on it, hoping to get the products made as soon as possible and hand them over to the customer.
As a result, as soon as I walked to the entrance of the garment department, I met the assistant factory director Luo Wei, who was said to be a relative of the deputy factory director.
Liang Shengnan didn't like this man very much. She used to work under him, and later surpassed him to become deputy director. He always held a grudge against her and always treated her with disdain.
Liang Shengnan nodded politely and prepared to go in to see the master's progress.
Luo Wei raised his hand to stop her, looking her up and down sarcastically, "Divorced woman, why don't you find someone to marry quickly? You're hanging out with men every day. People like you are just rat shit."
Liang Shengnan's face darkened. "Luo Wei! Don't go too far. The new society teaches equality between men and women. It's you who's not as skilled as me. If you have the ability, come and compete with me instead of saying these nonsense behind my back!"
Luo Wei glared at her fiercely and sneered in a low voice: "Bah! Women should be at home giving birth to children and cooking. If you want to imitate men and become an official, you are doomed to fail. How long can you still jump around!"
Bang!
Liang Shengnan raised her hand and slapped him, her fist shaking with anger: "I've always been polite to you, but you're nothing. Don't think I'm easy to bully!"
Luo Wei was stunned by the slap. When he came to his senses, he angrily grabbed the person's neck, pressed her against the wall, and punched her directly in the stomach.
"You bitch, you dare to hit me! I'll kill you--"
The disparity in strength between men and women was huge. Liang Shengnan used all her strength to resist but failed. She was even kicked to the ground. She gritted her teeth and got up and shouted loudly: "Master Liu, Master Ma——"
After hearing this, the master in the garment department rushed out and saw Luo Wei actually fighting with Director Liang.
Several people were frightened and rushed forward to stop him. The oldest one, Master Ma, scolded him, "Assistant Luo, you, a man, actually hit a woman! You've gone too far!"
Luo Wei was surrounded and pushed by several masters, and he fell to the ground without paying attention.
He threatened with a gloomy face: "You are rebelling! Don't you know that my cousin is the deputy director? Believe it or not, I will fire all of you old guys!"
The slightly younger master took a step back in fear, while Master Ma and Master Liu became more and more angry.
Master Ma, who was nearly sixty years old, said coldly, "So what if your cousin is the deputy director? The factory is not a place where you can control everything. Director Liang has made such great contributions to our factory, and you still have the nerve to bully him? I want to see how the deputy director fires me!"
Seeing that the old man was unmoved, Luo Wei stood up in a bad mood and patted the dust off his trousers, "Just wait for me!"
After Luo Wei left, several masters from the garment department hurriedly helped Liang Shengnan up from the ground.
"Director Liang, are you okay?"
Liang Shengnan's face was pale, with beads of sweat on her forehead. She covered her aching abdomen and was too weak to speak.
Seeing this, Master Ma became even more angry and scolded Luo Wei for being a coward. He quickly called a few helpers to carry the man to the hospital.
…
Liang Shengnan woke up again in a hospital bed.
She was the only one in the ward. Thinking that there was another batch of goods to be shipped in the afternoon, she had to check it personally to avoid any mistakes.
She covered her still aching abdomen and prepared to get up.
At this moment, the nurse pushed the door open and hurriedly shouted, "Hey, don't come down, you still need to give me anti-inflammatory drugs."
Liang Shengnan shook her head, insisted on getting up and putting on her shoes, and explained, "I feel much better. I have something urgent to take care of later. I'll take a day off tomorrow and come back for the IV."
The nurse walked over angrily, frowned, and forced the person to sit on the bed.
"Why don't you listen to advice, comrade? Look at your stomach, it's all black and blue. There must be blood stasis. Besides the IV, you also need to apply ointment. What is more important than your own health?"
