Chapter 138 Iron Plate
Wu Xiu pretended to be disgusted: "This is so corny, stay away from me."
But he did not push away Chu Hong who was hugging him.
The main reason is that the family used to have a strict mother and a kind father, so the daughters were more unscrupulous towards their father.
Unexpectedly, my second daughter is becoming more and more casual and close to me.
From outside came my aunt's voice: "Is Chu Hong here? Someone is looking for her."
Chu Hong responded, "Yes."
Let go of Wu Xiu and go out.
At this moment, she was also very glad that she came to the brigade headquarters.
In theory, she is now a public official, so if she is not patrolling other villages, she has to stay here at the brigade headquarters.
If someone were to look for you and find you at home, they would think you are unprofessional.
Although she is not very dedicated to her work, at most she is just doing her job.
When she went out, she saw several aunts and grandmas from the village outside, listening to a conversation between a strange mother and son.
When the village aunt saw Chu Hong coming out, she waved to her enthusiastically, "Chu Hong, come quickly. Sister Wu and her son are here to see you."
Chu Hong thought: Isn’t this nonsense? If you didn't come to find me, why would you call me before?
But she still walked over and asked politely: "Auntie, brother, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Aunt Wu stared at her: "Are you Chu Hong?"
"Yes, I am Chu Hong." Chu Hong was also a little surprised. Looking at her attitude, it didn't seem like she was here to ask for help, but rather to cause trouble.
Aunt Wu slapped her thigh with one hand and pointed at her with the other, crying and cursing: "You have done such a great harm to my son. What did you say to his wife?"
"Let his wife fight him to the death."
She cried but did not delay in complaining, and the intangible cultural heritage was fully demonstrated in her.
Chu Hong got a headache when she saw this. Seeing that the aunts and sisters were eager to prick up their ears, afraid of missing out on gossip, she could only try to ask in a gentle tone: "What's going on? If you don't explain it clearly, I don't know either."
In fact, she already had an idea in her mind.
After she became the director of the women's department, she only did two things.
One was the successful division of the family of Aunt Six in my own village, and the other was a case of domestic violence in the neighboring village.
From her tone, I knew that it was Mrs. Wu’s mother-in-law and her husband who had come.
Mrs. Wu took a deep breath and said angrily, "He is my son, and he was beaten by his wife."
"But before you went to their house, his wife never fought back or responded when she was beaten or scolded."
"Tell me, what did you say to her?"
"You need to give us an explanation for this, right?"
"Any woman who dares to fight with her man is lawless."
Chu Hong then pretended to be enlightened: "Oh, so you are Mrs. Wu's mother-in-law and husband?"
"I told Sister Wu to look after the girls more."
"She said that life at home was too frustrating, and her husband favored boys over girls and despised her for not being able to give birth to a son."
Chu Hong frowned at the man again and asked, "Sister Wu also said that you often beat her?"
Without waiting for them to speak, Chu Hong said innocently, "I just said one thing, if he hits you, you won't hit him back?"
He was shocked again: "Could it be that she took it seriously?"
"So you want me to tell her not to resist and let you hit her when you hit her?"
"I have to criticize you severely. It is wrong to hit people, and it is even more wrong for a man to hit his own wife."
Then she said with an embarrassed look: "But as the director of women's affairs, my mission is to protect the interests of women and children, but I am not asked to protect the interests of men. What can I do about it?"
The aunties and grandmas around looked at Chu Hong with admiration, thinking that they were really blind before. Why didn’t they realize that Chu Hong was so eloquent?
Can she complete a solo performance by herself?
Aunt Wu always felt that what she said was wrong, but she couldn't refute it. This time she was really angry and about to burst into anger: "My son earns money to support the family, but she can't give birth to a son, and can only give birth to money-losing children. So what's wrong with beating her a few times?"
Chu Hong pretended to be curious and asked, "What you said makes sense. Did the master treat you the same way?"
"Since you dislike your granddaughter so much, you should be blamed first."
"You are also a money-loser, so why aren't you a man?"
Aunt Wu was so angry that her face turned red and her neck became thick. She couldn't argue with Chu Hong, so she wanted to pounce on her and pull her.
But the aunties and sisters who were watching the fun on the side would definitely not let her touch Chu Hong under their noses.
So they all stepped forward and grabbed her arm, saying in unison: "Just talk, why are you hitting people?"
"Yeah, what gives you the right to come to our village and beat people up?"
Nowadays, everyone is xenophobic and thinks that if outsiders come to their village to show off, it means they are not taking them seriously.
To put it bluntly: Even if Chu Hong was wrong, she cannot allow people from outside the village to clean up the mess.
Wu Yongkang wanted to help, but the shameless aunt opened her mouth and yelled: "Hurry up, someone is attacking us?"
This statement was very easy to be misunderstood, and Wu Yongkang was so scared that he quickly took a few steps back.
At this moment, Wu Xiu, who was sorting medicinal herbs, and several uncles and brothers from the village who were building houses not far away came out immediately. When they stood there, they scared Wu Yongkang so much that he took a few steps back.
The uncles also took this opportunity to watch the fun openly.
Aunt Wu didn't dare to throw a tantrum anymore. She really sank down and sat on the ground, slapping her thigh and crying, "His wife is really cruel. Just because of a few words, she picked up a rolling pin and beat my son. How can I live like this?"
Chu Hong said nothing. Although fighting violence with violence was not advisable, Mrs. Wu had no other way to survive except this method.
Wu Xiu said, "Then when our village party secretary comes back, let Chu Hong go and persuade your daughter-in-law."
It's not that she is trying to help the outsiders out, but there is no point in continuing like this.
The only option is for the branch secretaries of both sides to come out and put pressure on the man, and ask him to promise not to beat or scold his wife at will in the future.
The purpose of having the village party secretaries of both sides as witnesses is to prevent the men from going back on their words.
Besides, based on what the Wu mother and son had done, she was not comfortable letting Chu Hong go with them now.
The aunts in the village felt a little regretful, thinking that it ended too quickly and they hadn’t seen enough.
One of the aunts suggested: "Why don't you all come over? We don't have to worry about Chu Hong being bullied by you."
Aunt Wu still had to save face, and she certainly didn't want outsiders to laugh at her family, so she could only agree: "Then we'll go back first and wait for you to come over."
The mother and son came here with the intention of asking Chu Hong for some compensation. After all, Chu Hong hosted such a lavish banquet yesterday, so she must be a rich person, right?
They also felt that Chu Hong was young and immature, and would become nervous, compromise, and do what they said.
Who knew that he would hit a wall.
