Chapter 67 Gossip
Not to mention that people in Lingshang Village were talking about the divorce, even people in Lingxia Village didn't understand why Secretary Song supported Chu Tong's divorce.
This family has two daughters who are divorced, which is always embarrassing to tell others.
Most people would just gossip about the family behind their backs, but only those who were close to the Song family would dare to go and find out the truth.
Even Captain Song came over and said, "If the eldest son of the Su family dares to beat Chu Tong, we can go to his house and beat him up so that he won't dare to beat Chu Tong again. How come they got divorced?"
Even though we often hear about divorces in the newspapers, that is often caused by family background.
The villages around here are so poor that there is not even one landlord, and no one has ever heard of divorce.
I always feel that divorce is not a good thing.
Secretary Song looked calm and composed, saying, "Men and women are equal, and marriage is free. Besides, my Xiaohong is divorced, but she's living well, isn't she?"
Then he added, "By the way, the leader said that Xiaohong is suitable to be the director of women's affairs and will be able to help women safeguard their legal rights in the future."
"It has also been agreed that Chu Tong will take over Chu Hong's accounting and warehouse management positions."
"Chu Tong also has the 200 yuan compensation from the Su family, plus she can earn six work points, so mother and daughter can make a living in the future, which is pretty good."
When the captain came, he wanted to help, but the result made him question his life.
So Chu Tong is better off with a divorce than without?
When he went back and told his wife about it, she said with longing: "If I were Chu Tong, I would also get divorced."
"My family is reliable, I have money, and I can earn six work points. Isn't it better than working like a slave in my husband's family?"
After saying that, she glared at him and cursed: "It's so cold, I still have to wash vegetables and cook, you guys don't even help when the oil bottle falls over, you just eat, it's annoying to watch you."
Captain Mo Minqi felt very disliked and aggrieved.
Then I thought that Chu Hong was not a good person. Once she became the director of the Women's Department, I was afraid that all the women in the village would be in an uproar.
He really wanted to beat up the eldest son of the Su family. If he hadn't been getting a divorce, he wouldn't have suffered such an unexpected disaster.
The snow got heavier in the afternoon. After Chu Hong returned home, she looked at the snowy road outside that was pressed by the tires and felt very lucky: "Fortunately, there are not many people riding bicycles now, otherwise there would be tire marks everywhere and the road would be frozen."
When she went back to her room to change her slightly wet cotton shoes, Chu Dan came in with a hand warmer.
Chu Dan asked with concern: "Sister, are you the director of the Women's Department? Will you have to go to the town for meetings in the future?"
"Are you concerned about other people's quarrels and fights?"
Chu Hong took the hand warmer she handed over and used it to warm her hands: "Yes, it is to improve women's ideological level, actively promote a healthy lifestyle, and help women safeguard their legitimate rights and interests."
After saying that, he patted her on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry about conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law when you get married in the future."
Chu Dan showed a happy expression on his face: "It's because my sister will support me, right?"
Chu Hong shook her head: "Yes, I will take you out to see more in the future. When you have seen more, you will know how to handle the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and husband and wife."
Chu Dan couldn't laugh anymore after hearing this: "That's not necessary, I still have to go to work."
Chu Hong took the opportunity to make it clear to her: "This time I asked my elder sister to take over my work because she is careful and the accounts are too trivial. I am afraid you will not have the patience."
"But don't worry. I will find a way to give you a spot in the future, whether it's the teacher or the duck farm."
We are all family, so make it clear to avoid misunderstandings.
Chu Dan was indeed a little depressed when he heard it before. He didn't want to go to the fields to work. Why didn't his second sister think about giving the job to him?
Are the second sister and the eldest sister better? Or does the second sister think that she is not good enough?
Now, after hearing Chu Hong's words, she was relieved: "It's OK as long as you still care about my work."
Then he asked her stupidly, "Do you like my elder sister or me?"
Chu Hong knocked her head: "You might as well ask, if you and your elder sister fell into the water, who would I save first?"
"Are you stupid? We are sisters connected by blood, so I must like you both."
"I thought since you are young, it would be best if I could find a job for you."
"After all, there aren't many outstanding young men in this country. Once you have a job, you can choose from a variety of good men."
Anyway, she just made a verbal promise, so just try to make her happy.
In fact, it is very difficult to find a job now because all the factories are already full.
Even if a few more people are needed, most of the work will be absorbed internally.
Who makes us all have so many brothers and sisters now?
Chu Dan just left high school last year, so he was indeed easier to fool. He was coaxed into smiling from ear to ear by Chu Hong.
When Chu Hong saw her smile, she thought to herself: How could I have such a stupid sister? Is this the legendary person who helped count money after being sold?
But I also think she is silly and cute.
For dinner, the whole family filled the 8-person table.
We ate vegetable dumplings. The frosted vegetables tasted a bit sweet and had no residue. We only added a little salt and lard, and the whole family enjoyed it very much.
Grandpa Song spoke first: "Chu Tong and Xiao Yu'er are back home. Let's make a good meal for lunch tomorrow and invite your little grandfather's family and Youfu's family to come over for a meal. It will be lively and fun."
Grandma Song also agreed: "Your idea is good. It's snowing, so why not make some more shredded radish and wrap it in ergot?"
Wu Xiu immediately agreed: "Ama's idea is the best. It's too cold now, and the food will get cold very quickly. It's better to eat ergonomics, which can be fried and eaten hot right away."
No one else had any objections. Chu Tong felt even happier when she saw that there was indeed no sadness or dissatisfaction on the faces of her family members.
She asked Chu Hong: "Are you going to the commune tomorrow?"
Chu Hong shook her head: "I have already received the brochure. I will go after the snow melts. I will hand over the account book to you tomorrow."
"It just so happens that we haven't started work yet this year, so we just need to check the seeds that were still in the account last year."
Every brigade would keep some good seeds such as sweet potatoes, potatoes, soybeans and mung beans as grain seeds.
Sometimes we would deliberately exchange seeds with neighboring villages so that the crops could grow better.
Wu Xiu also spoke up: "Your elder sister hasn't had the opportunity to read books in the past few years. Chu Hong, you have to be patient."
Chu Dan also nodded, a little scared: "I remember when I was a child, my second sister saw that I wrote something wrong and taught me that I couldn't do it. She was so anxious that she beat me up."
Chu Hong sneered: "Just be thankful that you are not an accountant, otherwise with your careless personality, I don't know if you would be beaten to death by me."
Grandma Song said in a low voice: "Children have no taboos. The New Year hasn't even ended yet, and you're already talking nonsense."
Chu Hong slapped her mouth lightly and said in a flattering manner: "I was wrong. I won't dare to do it again."
There were villagers outside who came to see Secretary Song and asked if he needed help.
They meant well, so Wu Xiu poured them some water and brought out some melon seeds and peanuts to treat them.
Secretary Song should tell everyone the same thing he had told the team leader before.
