"It would be even better if you could send your daughter to Ayi's bed." Su Jin asked in a low voice.
"That's not the case!" The village woman said proudly, but she noticed that the looks from people around her were getting increasingly suspicious, so she quickly changed her words, "I'm doing this for your own good."
"It's for my own good. It's like letting Ayi make a mistake. It's even more like wanting to destroy a military marriage. You can go to the Armed Forces Department and ask what the crime of destroying a military marriage is." Su Jin lost her patience and looked at the village women coldly, "You'd better put your mind at ease. Some of the team members are already married."
Su Jin warned in public, and Lin Zitao and Lu Shiyi came out of the gate of Lu's courtyard. Hearing Su Jin's words, Lin Zitao immediately stepped forward.
It was the first time the girls saw a man in military uniform and they stared at Lin Zitao, causing him to immediately hide behind Lu Shiyi.
"I am the political commissar of the Army Department. I am married and have two sons. Anyone who throws himself at me or tries to destroy my reputation will be considered a military marriage destroyer and will be brought to court-martial." This was the first time that Lin Zitao felt that girls were scary.
The noise in front of Liu Ying's door attracted many people in the village to come and watch the fun, and many village women were waiting to see the result. If these six girls succeeded, they would take advantage of the time when the team members stayed in the village and use any means to marry off their daughters.
Lin Zitao's words made the village women stop hoping, but the girls wanted to give it a try.
The six girls looked at each other, then knelt down in front of Su Jin, looking at her with tears in their eyes.
Su Jin said directly, "Oh my God!" She immediately jumped a few steps to the side of Lu Shiyi.
"Be careful, what if you get bumped into? Don't you know what your body condition is like?" Lu Shiyi was annoyed at these people for forcing others with tricks.
"Village chief, is this how you manage the village? It seems your thinking is not up to standard." Lin Zitao saw Lu Xin walking towards him from a distance and immediately attacked him.
Lu Xin walked over quickly and found Lu Shiyi and Lin Zitao standing in the crowd, with Su Jin being protected by Lu Shiyi behind him.
"No!" Lu Xin didn't dare admit the guilt. "Political Commissar Lin, these people are just visiting from a neighboring village. We're all honest farmers in our village. We definitely don't have any bad intentions."
The village women of the Fourth Brigade echoed the sentiment one after another. They took the political commissar's words to heart.
Several village women looked at their sister-in-law who came with her daughter and became more and more unfriendly. They pointed at the village entrance and drove them away.
"Every family in the villages has its own rules. After the summer harvest, when the grain has not been distributed, no one will visit relatives. Even matchmakers will not come." The village woman started to quarrel with her sister-in-law, and the older girl ran over to protect her mother.
"Aunt, we agreed at home that if my blind date is successful, your family will also benefit." The girl sobbed, "You said before that you would help my mother and me, how come you changed your mind so quickly?"
Lu Xin found the girls' noise difficult to deal with as he was not good at dealing with girls.
Wang Hong came up from behind him, pushed him aside, walked in front of the six girls, and stared down at them.
"As the saying goes, people need face and trees need bark. This is not the old society anymore. You can survive by becoming a concubine." Wang Hong is fed up with these girls who will pounce on them if they see any benefits.
The girls were afraid of Wang Hong. Since she took over as the director of the village Women's Federation, she was happy to talk to people. Many village women and girls were called in for talks. For a time, the atmosphere in the village really improved a lot.
"We are not from your village. You have no right to control us." The girls bravely retorted that after they joined the Women's Federation, their reputation would definitely be bad, and no one would have a good husband-in-law.
"I often have meetings with the Women's Federation directors of your villages. I'll talk to the others and I think I'll be fine." Wang Hong sneered, "The Shi Yi family won't argue with you, but you're just pushing it further."
Lu Xin respects Lu Shiyi. He and Wang Hong's four children all want to join the army, and the couple will not stop them. All the people from Lu Bairen's lineage are in the barracks. Lu Xin and the children have three rules: they are not allowed to tell others about their relationship with Lu Bairen and others, and they must get promoted in the barracks based on their real abilities.
"Aunt Wang, these guys have been hanging around Su Jin's yard all day. They've been here since 4 a.m. The three of us originally wanted to go see Xiao Jin," Wang Dahong told Wang Hong. "But seeing that the front was blocked, Minister Lu left directly through the back door to avoid causing a bad reputation."
The girls stood aside. The six of them came together before dawn this morning. Their family didn't even prepare breakfast for them. It was not until after nine in the morning that the family members came to visit relatives.
"Shi Yi's wife, these girls are from the neighboring villages. What they did this time was inappropriate. Can you give them a chance to mend their ways?" Wang Hong looked at the frightened expressions of the six people. Their families just stood far away and didn't move forward.
Wang Hong's sympathy overflowed, but Su Jin did not answer and looked at Wang Hong with a serious expression.
"Director Wang, if they succeed, how will my child and I cope? Don't say I'm educated; even if I get divorced, I can find a better partner." Su Jin wasn't happy to be morally blackmailed. "Everyone wants a reputation. Is Ayi afraid to leave his own house for the sake of a good reputation? I think staying home is the best solution."
Su Jin found that Wang Hong was a little confused and came back to make trouble for herself.
"I think the village doesn't welcome us back." Su Jin's face was dark. Zong Li followed Su Jin and found that Su Jin was under siege. He ran up the mountain to inform Lu Shiyi.
"If you're not welcome, go live in the mountains." Lu Shiyi had considered Lu Bairen's situation before. The old man had said more than once that he wouldn't feel at ease without a homestead. "Just leave it here. If anyone dares to force their way in, I don't mind calling the police."
