Hua Xiaoyu's heart skipped a beat when Gu Siyu suddenly grabbed her shoulder and asked her a sharp question.
She immediately realized that she had let something slip in her haste.
This is terrible!
When she came to her senses, Hua Xiaoyu forcefully shook off Gu Siyu's hand, her tone flustered and annoyed, "You...you don't care whether Political Commissar Wan sacrificed himself or not!"
You've already remarried! You've had two children with another man! What? Now that you know your ex-husband isn't dead, your wicked heart is stirring again? What else do you want?!
Guan Wenru frowned, stepped forward, shielded Hua Xiaoyu behind her, and looked coldly at Gu Siyu. "Gu Siyu, I advise you to wake up. Don't you know how Aunt Wan has lived all these years?"
She'd love to tear you apart! You just left without a second thought, sold your job without a penny for Aunt Wan and the others.
You even deliberately brought your man back, rubbing salt into her wounds, mocking Political Commissar Wan for his short life and bad luck, making her so angry she almost couldn't recover! If you had any brains, you shouldn't have appeared in front of their family again!
At this moment, Gu Siyu was completely deaf to any advice or warnings. Her mind was buzzing, and only one thought was swirling wildly within her…
Wan Tao is not dead!
He's still alive!
Then she would still be his legal wife!
That military officer's wife status, that comfortable life... it's still hers!
Thinking of this, Gu Siyu's eyes blazed with fervor. She abruptly shoved aside Hua Xiaoyu, who was blocking her way, grabbed the bewildered child beside her, and roared:
“My affairs are none of your business! I am his lawfully wedded wife! I am Wan Tao’s wife! We are not divorced at all!”
After yelling, she seemed to have gone mad, ignoring Hua Xiaoyu's angry curses and Guan Wenru's cold gaze. Dragging her two children, she stumbled and rushed towards the military region!
Hua Xiaoyu stomped her foot in anger, pointed at her retreating figure and shouted, "Gu Siyu! You stop right there! Come back here! How dare you return to the military region?"
Hua Xiaoyu made a move to chase after him, but Guan Wenru grabbed her arm.
Guan Wenru shook her head, her tone calm, "Forget it, Sister-in-law Xiaoyu, don't chase after her anymore. Gu Siyu is the kind of person who's stuck in a rut, not even nine oxen could pull her back!"
You can stop her once now, but you can't stop her forever. She'll always find a way to make a scene in front of Political Commissar Wan. It's better to let Political Commissar Wan handle it completely.
Hua Xiaoyu's eyes reddened with anxiety, and she sighed, "I'm just afraid... I'm just afraid that Political Commissar Wan will soften his heart! After all, they were husband and wife, and he'll feel sorry for the two children..."
Guan Wenru looked toward the military region, her eyes deep, "Don't worry, she definitely won't get past Aunt Wan!"
Moreover… Wan Tao is no longer the same Wan Tao he was a few years ago, nor is he a fool. Having experienced life and death, he understands some things better than anyone else.
Hua Xiaoyu sighed helplessly; she really had no other choice at the moment.
She lightly slapped her own mouth; it was all her fault for being so talkative!
......
Let Baiyun and Huaxiaoyu return to their posts.
Guan Wenru quickly returned to her office.
She first called home, and then immediately dialed the phone number of Chen Jianhui, the commune director.
As soon as the call connected, Guan Wenru stated her purpose: "Director Chen, it's me, Guan Wenru. The situation at our factory gate has stabilized for the time being, but I'm worried that this is just the beginning. The number of disaster victims will only increase, and scaring people and giving them a few bowls of noodle soup won't solve the fundamental problem."
Chen Jianhui's voice was heavy on the other end of the phone, "I'm also worried about this! But we only have so much power, what can we do?"
Guan Wenru's expression was solemn. "Director, I request that the factory's funds be used so that our transport team can set off immediately to neighboring provinces with less severe disasters. We will use our stockpiled furs and some unplanned cattle and sheep to exchange for a batch of grain!"
"We don't need much, just enough to last for a while, specifically for distributing porridge to these refugees who have fled here!"
Hearing her words, Chen Jianhui hesitated, "Director Guan, your idea is good, but... but how much power can our factory have?"
This is simply a drop in the ocean! And if word gets out and even more people flock over, no matter how much grain we exchange, it won't be enough!"
Guan Wenru was aware of this as well. She thought for a moment and said, "Director, that's why we can't supply everything openly. We'll ration it! We'll cook a fixed amount of porridge every day, for example, at most twenty catties of grain to make one big pot."
If there are many people, everyone gets a smaller portion, and the food is a little thinner; if there are fewer people, everyone gets a slightly thicker portion, and everyone gets a larger portion.
Most importantly, we need to make sure that everyone who comes to drink porridge knows that the factory has limited capacity and that there is only this much ration available each day!
In this way, to ensure they have a sip of porridge to sustain them tomorrow and the day after, they won't spread the word about our grain supply when they go back. Instead, they'll subconsciously keep it a secret, fearing that if more people come, their share will be even less! This is the only way to truly stabilize the situation and prevent attracting more people!
Chen Jianhui remained silent for a moment on the other end of the phone, clearly weighing the pros and cons quickly.
Finally, he let out a sigh of relief, "Sigh! You're right! This is a solution!"
Okay! We'll do it your way! I'll give the factory special approval for this payment!
You are fully responsible. If you need any certificates or need to coordinate any relationships, come to me anytime! You must handle this matter well; you must both save lives and maintain stability!
Guan Wenru breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank you for your support, Director! I'll go arrange the transportation team and procurement right away!"
Actually, what these people said today is right: this is a state-owned factory, and people outside are facing starvation. Their factory should definitely open grain warehouses within its capacity.
