Chapter 66 Women's Director
Nowadays, people rarely get married. Instead, the man gives the woman a betrothal gift and then they find a date for a wedding ceremony.
This is a de facto marriage.
But when Su Hongqi and Chu Tong got married, the commune opened a new window for obtaining marriage certificates, and the leaders also called on everyone to go and get the certificates.
Su Hongqi and Chu Tong supported their father-in-law's work and went to get a marriage certificate.
Now that they said they wanted a divorce, the staff hurried to find their leader.
After all, there are very few people who come to him to get a marriage certificate, but this is the first time I have encountered someone coming to get a divorce certificate.
Both parties have negotiated, and the Song family did not say bad things about Su Hongqi in front of the leaders. After all, the crime of killing people can really cost lives.
If someone really died, then he would be a mortal enemy. After all, he is Xiaoyuer's biological father, so he has to consider the child.
Otherwise, it would not sound good if others said that your father was killed by your mother.
So when the leader asked them why they divorced, both of them were stunned. Su Hongqi said timidly: "I, I beat her, and she wanted to divorce me."
Last night, the Su family was still cursing the Song family, wishing them a miserable death, but now they are glad that they didn't completely fall out yesterday, otherwise they would be afraid that they would never come back today.
Su Hongqi would rather put the blame on himself than say anything bad about Chu Tong.
The leader still didn’t want to set a precedent, so he tried to reconcile: “Then why don’t you just promise not to hit anyone again?”
Chu Hong couldn't help but speak up: "He is addicted to alcohol. If he doesn't drink, he wants to beat people. If he drinks, he likes to beat people. It's really unpredictable."
The leader still had some impression of Chu Hong: "You, you are the daughter of Party Secretary Song, right?"
Chu Hong was flattered: "Leader, you have a really good memory."
Being praised so bluntly, the leader also laughed and said, "So you also support their divorce?"
Chu Hong said sternly: "Our new ## advocates freedom of marriage, which liberates our female compatriots from suffering in inappropriate marriages for a lifetime."
"It is said that women hold up half the sky. After the divorce, my elder sister was still able to contribute to the development and construction of the village."
The leader initially thought it was not a good thing to be the first couple to divorce after registration.
But now that I think about it, it makes sense. This divorce can actually demonstrate the freedom of marriage. I nodded and asked the staff to get the divorce certificate.
The leader said to Chu Hong: "It just so happens that the higher-ups are asking each team to add the position of Women's Director. I think you are quite suitable and can help rural women and children safeguard their legitimate rights and interests."
"It just so happens that all three of your villages are handed over to you."
Chu Hong hesitated: "I am young, I am afraid I can't bear this burden."
What a joke! She would not want to take care of the trivial matters of three villages, not to mention the exhaustion of running back and forth.
But the boss thought she was a good fit: "You've been to high school, you're educated, and your father can back you up if you have problems. You're a good fit."
The main reason was that Chu Hong was bold, brave and resourceful enough to go to Shencheng, thousands of miles away, to seek justice for herself.
Even if she encounters a difficult person, she still has Secretary Song to support her, so she doesn't have to worry about anyone not taking her seriously.
Finally, she added: "As the director of women's affairs, you get six work points a day, and the commune also distributes welfare benefits in the form of bills."
Chu Hong hesitated for a moment and said, "Leader, if I become the director of the Women's Affairs Department, I will promote people who are not related to me. I am in charge of the warehouse and accounting now. Can you give my job to my elder sister?"
"My eldest sister also went to junior high school. She can write and do math, and she's more patient than me."
The leaders also knew that although the educated youth were educated, they would definitely not be willing to employ strangers.
He has no objection to this: "The right people can stay in the right positions, I have no objection."
Chu Hong agreed immediately: "Then where should I go to study?"
The bills are tempting enough, and it will be easy for the elder sister to take care of the children like this.
They could try to switch things up and say the sisters' positions were arranged by the commune leaders.
The leader gave her some pointers: "Go to the women's director's office of the trade union nearby. There are manuals and training there. You also need to register and so on."
Chu Hong waved to everyone and went to find a place to report.
Secretary Song came here today in a ox cart. After Chu Tong had completed all the formalities, he found out that Chu Hong would not be able to go home until the afternoon, so he simply went to Su's house to get Chu Tong's dowry and then rode his bike to pick her up in the afternoon.
Back at the Su family, Aunt Su had originally packed up Chu Tong and secretly taken out her better clothes.
But she didn't expect that when the man and his son came back, Secretary Su said to her: "If you touch Chu Tong's things, you must put them back to her the same way you took them out."
"Otherwise if Chu Tong starts making a scene, I'll beat you up first to calm them down."
He also knew his wife's personality very well and knew that she would like to pluck out all her feathers.
But today they were really scared. Who could have known that divorce would also attract the attention of the leaders?
It also made him fully understand that people are different.
Things have come to this point, all we can do is be as polite as possible.
Aunt Su's face turned red, she felt ashamed and annoyed, but she dared not disobey him and put back the clothes she had stolen.
When Secretary Song arrived, Secretary Su and his two sons personally carried Chu Tong's dowry onto the ox cart and tied it up with ropes.
Finally, he said to Chu Tong: "Alas, it is because I did not teach my son well that I failed to keep such a good daughter-in-law like you. If there is anything I can help you with in the future, please let me know."
In recent years, Chu Tong has come to understand her father-in-law's temperament somewhat. As long as she doesn't offend his position as the head of the family, she will be very friendly to him.
But he is not a good person either. He turns a blind eye to his mother-in-law making things difficult for him and doesn't care at all.
Whether internally or externally, his mother-in-law is the bad guy and he is the good guy.
Cold-hearted, even selfish.
Before the divorce, Chu Tong was very uneasy and felt very anxious.
But now that they were really divorced, Chu Tong felt relieved instead. She just smiled at his polite words and urged her father to go home.
They were carrying a truckload of furniture back, which attracted the attention of the villagers.
Everyone ignored the snow and ran to ask, "Secretary Su, what happened?"
Secretary Su had a sad face and said, "It was my Hongqi's fault. He beat Chu Tong because he drank a few more mouthfuls of horse urine. This injured him. I don't want to live with him anymore. The couple divorced."
This matter cannot be concealed any longer, and I dare not throw dirty water on the Song family. I feel so aggrieved.
The villagers couldn't believe it, and they kept talking to each other: "Divorce?"
"It's just a few beatings, isn't it? If everyone does this to them, how many families will not get divorced?"
"It's really immoral."
"I heard that the second daughter of Secretary Song's family was also dumped by her husband, and now the eldest daughter is also divorced. Did the Song family do something wrong?"
"You want to die, you are talking nonsense."
Some people also thought that Secretary Su was too easy to talk to: "Brother, how could you agree to this?"
Secretary Su smiled bitterly: "Chu Hong will be the director of women's affairs in the future, in charge of our three villages. You should all be careful in the future and don't fall into her hands, otherwise I won't be ashamed to plead for you."
