Chapter 120 Worry
Grandma Song muttered, "Then you have to pay more attention. If it doesn't work, ask Gu Ci if he knows anyone who is suitable for your sister."
The old man is now worrying about his granddaughters' marriages.
Both of the granddaughters in the family are divorced, which will definitely affect Chu Dan's marriage.
Chu Hong changed the subject: "Grandma, I want to buy some pig offal to add to the dish."
You don’t need meat tickets to buy pig offal, but it’s difficult to clean and the price is not cheap, but you can occasionally get a bargain.
Grandma Song smiled when she heard this: "Can you get up?"
Chu Hong already had an idea: "I'll go to town tomorrow to check. If it's not there, I'll just ask Chu Dan to buy it early."
"That's fine." Grandma Song still reminded her worriedly: "Don't take this opportunity to meet Gu Ci, okay?"
Chu Hong didn’t even know, so how could grandma feel that she loved Gu Ci so deeply? How can one day without seeing you feel like three years?
That's absolutely impossible.
The reason she agreed to marry him was not because she loved him wholeheartedly, but because she couldn't bear to see him being embarrassed by Secretary Su in Lingtou Village, and she also wanted him to be able to take care of his in-laws at close range.
She just had a little crush on him, and also thought he was not a bad person, so she was willing to agree to his proposal.
Chu Hong looked at her watch. It was already past three in the afternoon. She also stood up: "I have to go to Lingzhong Village to promote the Women's Protection Law."
Yesterday she accomplished a big thing, which was to completely separate the family of her sixth uncle in the village.
Although Sixth Aunt pointed at her and scolded her for meddling in other people's business. 'Also' when you are abandoned by others, you can't bear to see others doing well. '
Chu Hong couldn't hit anyone, so she could only persuade herself: being black and red is still red, and she has a reputation at least.
It's not a good reputation though.
I went to Lingzhong Village today because I heard from the village party secretary that there was a family in their village whose daughter-in-law had given birth to five daughters in a row, but she was not satisfied and insisted on giving birth to a son.
These daughters were either beaten or scolded. The children were not well fed or clothed. At mealtime, they would just go to their neighbors' doorsteps and stare at them while they ate.
If the help is given once or twice occasionally, the neighbors will not have any objections, but if it happens every other day, no one can bear it.
Chu Hong was curious as to why Secretary Wu didn't do anything about it.
Secretary Wu smiled bitterly and said that he was the family's neighbor on the left.
Moreover, the other party is his cousin within the fifth degree of mourning.
What he said was of no use, his uncle was still taking advantage of his seniority and he wished he could move away.
It just so happened that she heard that Chu Hong had caused the family of the sixth uncle in Lingxia Village, who was famous for being biased, to split up. Secretary Wu also felt that he saw hope, so he came to her house to talk about it before going to town in the morning.
He still remembered that Chu Hong herself had said before that as the director of the women's department, she was in charge of all matters concerning women and children.
It just so happened that Secretary Wu couldn't do anything about his cousin's uncle and aunt, so he asked her to try.
Chu Hong was also willing to do so. As the director of the Women's Department, she couldn't fail to do some practical work, right?
The needs of women and children are the meaning of their existence.
Otherwise, she herself would feel a little guilty about the work points she received.
Grandma Song would definitely not stop her from doing her business, but she still reminded her: "Don't go to Lingtou Village, okay?"
Or I was afraid that she would go and meet Gu Ci.
Chu Hong wanted to swear to her: "Grandma, I promise that I will not go to Lingtou Village in the next few days."
A partner cannot be eaten. Is she an irrational woman just for the sake of a man?
Today, Secretary Song rode the bicycle to the town for a meeting.
Secretary Song has been attending meetings for three consecutive days to discuss the major issue of abolishing the county and transforming it into a city.
Although it is far from Lingxia Village, as I said, because a shopping mall and a factory are going to be built in the new urban area, they will definitely need to recruit workers.
Secretary Song must have considered the villagers and asked for a quota.
Chu Hong found it a bit difficult.
Because there are too many unemployed people in the new urban area.
When the town becomes a city, the original residents will be able to eat public grain, so in order to avoid losses, they have to be arranged with jobs first.
In addition, the public bicycle was also taken away by the team leader, so Chu Hong could only walk to Lingzhong Village.
It’s only about two miles anyway, and it won’t take less than ten minutes.
When she arrived near Secretary Wu's house, she didn't even need to ask. She knew she had found the right person when she saw four girls washing wild vegetables at the door.
Because they are all yellow-haired girls.
People nowadays have hair that is not black but rather yellowish due to malnutrition.
They all had short hair that looked like it had been bitten by a dog, and they were all wearing patched clothes. In this cold weather, they were wearing thin, ragged cloth shoes that exposed their toes. They all had pale faces and skinny bodies, and they looked to be between three to five and seven to eight years old.
In the countryside, girls are indeed not as valuable as boys, but there are few like them.
Chu Hong came forward and squatted in front of them, took out four candies and handed them to them: "I'm looking for your mother, is she home?"
The youngest girl looked only two or three years old and was still wearing open-crotch pants. She started drooling when she saw the candy. Without thinking twice, she stretched out her black little hands to take the candy.
When Chu Hong saw her put the candy into her mouth with the wrapper still attached, she quickly grabbed it and peeled off the wrapper.
The little girl thought that she was not allowed to eat, so she didn't cry, but just looked at her with tears in her eyes.
Chu Hong quickly stuffed the candy into the little girl's mouth.
Wu Daya also peeled candies for her other two sisters, and finally ate them herself. She pointed to the fence behind her and said, "My mother is working in the house."
"Okay!" Chu Hong got up and went in. Wu Daya turned around and looked at her with envy.
Wu Erya was a smart little girl: "Sister, this is the second daughter of the Party Secretary of Lingxia Village, right?"
"I heard that she is very capable and well-educated. She can get a lot of money after the divorce."
Finally, he sighed with envy: "If only we could study."
As soon as Chu Hong entered, she heard the soft cry of a child. Following the sound of the cry, she saw a child about one year old crying on the bed.
A woman in her thirties, also with a pale face and thin body, was sitting on a stool in front of the bed mending her pants.
At this moment, Chu Hong regretted getting married.
Life is really not easy for women nowadays. They have to prepare three meals a day, and after a child is born, they have to watch the child grow up.
There was no end to the chores at home. When she looked at her sister-in-law in front of her, it was as if she was seeing herself becoming a shrew in the future.
When Mrs. Wu saw someone coming in, she looked up at her blankly and asked, "Who are you looking for?"
Chu Hong said in a gentle tone: "Sister Wu, I'm here to see you."
"I'm the Women's Director of Lingxia Village. I heard that your eldest daughter hasn't started school yet, so I came to check on her situation."
This was of course her excuse.
You can't just say, I'm here to advise you not to have more children, nor can you say you have to take good care of your daughters and not let them go to the neighbors' houses for free food and drinks when they are old.
Then I can only use going to school as an excuse.
Mrs. Wu lowered her head to mend her clothes again, and said indifferently: "Why would a little girl like you go to school when you are just losing money?"
Chu Hong was almost unable to hold back her anger.
Even though she was mentally prepared, she didn't expect her own mother to say that.
