Li Aiyun sighed repeatedly. She knew that what the old man said made sense, but secretly, she really wanted her daughter to be able to do nothing and live a relaxed life. This was probably every woman's dream.
Perhaps, many women don’t even dare to have such a dream.
She couldn't achieve it in this lifetime, so she hoped it could happen in her daughter.
But now it seems as difficult as climbing to the sky.
Since she was very young, she has had a "mother-in-law", a person who lives in her mother's mouth.
Her mother always told her, "If you don't do well, you will see how your mother-in-law will deal with you in the future." "If someone like you gets married, your mother-in-law will beat you three times a day." No matter what the matter was, her mother always ended with this sentence.
She was probably only five or six years old at that time.
This "mother-in-law" followed her like a nightmare, and when she got married, it became a reality.
So, when she had a daughter, she never told her any of that bullshit!
She believed that as a mother-in-law, she wasn't too harsh on her daughter-in-law. She didn't hit, scold, or curse. She did her best to help. She didn't say she lived a life of luxury while her daughter-in-law had to eat coarse food, nor did she watch them like thieves. She didn't let her grandchildren eat eggs every day, but they did have them every now and then. She never sold any eggs from the chickens at home; she ate them all. Sometimes, when there wasn't enough, she would buy some from the neighbors. Even so, her daughter-in-law was still not satisfied.
It can be seen that the conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is not entirely the mother-in-law's fault.
Oh! How sad!
Li Aiyun was sad, but she had finally accepted the reality that Zheng Lanping would have to work. She decided that starting next spring, she would let Lanping work in the fields. Even if she could only earn two or three work points a day, it would be a good opportunity for her to learn. She would go too. They could both earn a little, and they wouldn't have to work too hard. They could then help with the housework together when they came back.
Zheng Guoqiang was as melancholy as his mother. He walked back to the commune dormitory under the white moonlight. Everything was cold and there was no warmth at all.
He lost his comrades, his family, and his bright future. Now he has almost nothing.

Compared with them, Xie Yun was much happier.
When she was about to get off work in the afternoon, she groped her way to Sister Ji's room and chatted with her for a while.
She didn't know whether Sister Ji had heard about Zheng Guoqiang's deeds. If not, she could reveal a little bit.
Before she could ask, Sister Ji spoke quickly and directly, "Xiao Xie, I forgot to ask you before. You and Hongxia are from the same brigade as this new comrade Zheng Guoqiang. Do you know anything about him?"
It is the job of an organizational officer to understand every aspect of each cadre in detail.
Xie Yun said, "Strictly speaking, I don't know him. We're just from the same brigade. But I do know a little about his situation. Everyone in our brigade knows about it. It's public knowledge."
"Then tell me, what do you know?"
Xie Yun recounted the entire story of Xu Wumei and Zheng Guoqiang's engagement and their cancellation, specifically emphasizing Zheng Guoqiang's various inactions during this period. In particular, his breach of trust as a soldier and his complete inaction in the robbery incident went beyond the realm of personal morality.
After finishing his speech, Xie Yun continued, "I witnessed some of these things myself. I happened to be in the county town that day, traveling with Wu Mei and two other female comrades from our brigade, one of whom is now the leader of the Women's Commando. I didn't see some of them myself, but heard about them. It's inevitable that there will be a little bit of subjectivity. You can ask Hongxia again. Our entire brigade knows about this."
Ji Xiang frowned, his expression extremely grim. "This kind of thing, at the very least, is a sign of poor personal ethics. At the most, it's discrimination against women, backward thinking, and a violation of the national policy of gender equality."
As for whether to criticize this person in a more or less lenient way, it depends on his future performance.
Xie Yun nodded vigorously. "You're right. Gender equality is written into the Constitution. You're really thoughtful. I was just trying to defend the Five Beauties."
Ji Xiang smiled and passed on his experience to her, "Next time you encounter such a situation, you should try to make personal matters appear official. This way, the bad guys will be punished to the greatest extent."
Xie Yun humbly accepted the advice and asked Sister Ji some work-related questions, and received her careful guidance.
When she returned to the office, Secretary Li asked her, "Did you go study with your elder sister Ji?"
"Yeah. I benefited a lot from it."
Director Zhong smiled and said, "You are so knowledgeable at such a young age. That's already amazing. If you continue to learn from Sister Ji, you will have a promising future. Xiao Xie, when you get promoted, remember to promote us."
Xie Yun: "...Your words sound as if I'm about to leave this world."
Secretary Li and Director Zhong both laughed. That's right. Going up and going down, if you heard it wrong, could both be understood as going to another world.
Secretary Li said, "Old Zhong is right. Xiao Xie, work hard. Your future is limitless."
Sooner or later, these people in the cadre school will rise again, and by then, they will all be Xiao Xie's connections.
Whether it was him, Old Zhong, or Secretary He, when they were communicating with them, they all mentioned Xiao Xie's role in this matter. Everyone knew that she was such a smart person and would definitely be reused in the future. To some extent, not contacting her now was to protect her.
If there is any problem with their approach, they are there to take the lead, so Xiao Xie does not need to take responsibility.
Xie Yun chuckled, "The Chairman said, the world is ours after all!"
