Upon hearing this, Su's father lowered his head and dared not say a word.
Su Xiangqin didn't think they were admitting their mistakes. She guaranteed that as soon as the people from the Women's Federation left, their true colors would be exposed.
At that time, she thought her family was pretty good. Although her father didn't value her, at least he didn't treat her harshly, unlike her good friend Cuifen, who was beaten at every turn.
So as long as Father Su said, "I worked hard to raise you, but this little request cannot be met," Su Xiangqin would consciously feel guilty, think that she is unfilial, and then compromise.
Su Xiangqin gave them a chance, but they knew that Zhu Yingcai was of low character, and they chose to sacrifice her for their own benefit. At that moment, she really died.
Su Xiangqin's eyes were red, and her voice was choked with sobs: "Director Zhu, you saw what happened just now. I am really scared. I am afraid that they will force me to marry someone I don't like in the future. I want to transfer my household registration and open my own household."
"Set up your own household?" When Father Su heard this, he immediately became anxious, veins popped out on his forehead, and he shouted loudly: "I don't agree. Which girl sets up her own household? You are making fun of me in front of the villagers and poking my spine!"
Su Jiansheng echoed from the side, frowning, with a reproachful tone: "Su Xiangqin, how can you be so selfish? Your parents have worked hard to raise you, and you just leave like that. What are they going to do in the future?"
Su's mother, who had been hiding in the bedroom, came running in after hearing the noise, wiping her tears and crying, "Xiangqin, what nonsense are you talking about? It's ridiculous for a girl like you to leave. If you leave, this family will be incomplete."
Seeing her daughter's determined eyes, Su's mother turned around and pulled Su's father, "Master, let me decide Xiangqin's marriage in the future! You should agree to it quickly. As long as you agree to it, she won't think about starting her own family."
Old Man Su pushed Mother Su away, walked quickly to Su Xiangqin, raised his hand and slapped Su Xiangqin in the face.
Fortunately, Director Zhu was quick-witted and pulled Su Xiangqin aside, so she was able to escape.
Father Su was furious, his face flushed red, and he roared, "This is my own family affair, it is not your turn to intervene."
Director Zhu originally thought that Su Xiangqin's idea of starting her own business was a bit too much and he didn't support it. But when he saw Old Man Su's unreasonable behavior, he started to agree with it.
"Girl, I think your idea is reasonable. Our county women's federation will definitely help you." Director Zhu nodded firmly.
While speaking, he did not forget to pull the people from the Revolutionary Committee, "Comrade Wu, how do you think we should deal with this matter?"
There were three comrades from the Revolutionary Committee this time. Wu Dong was the highest-ranking member of the trio. The other two were in charge of Zhu Yingcai and Zhang Guafu respectively, leaving Wu Dong alone.
This matter was not within his scope of responsibility, and Wu Dong didn't want to get involved, but when Director Zhu asked, he was willing to do the director of women's affairs a favor. In addition, he saw that Su Xiangqin was quite methodical in her work and was a member of the art troupe, so he was willing to help her and make a good relationship with her.
Wu Dong pondered for a moment and slowly began to speak: "If Comrade Su can help me catch the stinking rat that is digging up the roots of the revolution, as a reward, our Revolutionary Committee is willing to help you solve the settlement problem."
Old Man Su was not afraid of the people from the Women's Federation, but he was still afraid of the people from the Revolutionary Committee. The Su brothers did not understand the principle that the people should not fight against the officials, and they stared at Su Xiangqin with condemning eyes and dared not say a word.
Seeing this, Su Xiangqin breathed a sigh of relief. "I know it's not easy for my parents to raise me. I'm not an ungrateful person. I will not fall short of my obligation to support them. I just want a sense of security and to live a down-to-earth life."
"If Dad doesn't let me go, I can sign a document right now and guarantee to give you 10 yuan a month as alimony." She looked at Director Zhu and Wu Dong, "Please help me be a witness."
Su Jiansheng secretly tugged at Old Man Su's clothes and stretched out his finger to make a two gesture. After Old Man Su received the signal, he frowned and said, "10 yuan is too little. I want 20 yuan, not a single portion less."
Su Xiangqin's eyes flickered. As far as he knew, her brother's monthly salary was only 30 yuan. He was trying to force him to give in. "Okay, I agree."
Su Jiansheng didn't expect his sister to be so straightforward, and his expression froze.
At this time, Su Xiangqiu, who had been silent, spoke up: "I... I want to move my household."
Old Man Su was just pissed off by Su Xiangqin, and when he saw his daughter getting involved, he picked up something and threw it at Su Xiangqiu.
Su Xiangqiu dodged flexibly. She hid behind Su Xiangqin, poked her head out, and said with her neck stiff, "I can give alimony."
"You stupid girl, you don't even have a job, where do you get the money for alimony? I think you are just asking for trouble." Su Jianye cursed.
Su Xiangqiu was hurt by what her third brother said, and her body trembled slightly. She really had no money, but she knew that this might be her only chance to gain freedom and control her life.
She looked at Su Xiangqin with pleading eyes, "Sister."
Su Xiangqin: "30, as long as you promise your sister to go with me, we will give you 30 yuan in alimony later."
This is good. Su Xiangqin was originally thinking about how to help her younger sister in the future. This is a one-time solution. However, her monthly salary is only 35 yuan. After giving this money, she will only have 5 yuan left.
She herself was fine, as she was in the army for food, clothing, housing and transportation, and had no money, but her sister's life was a little difficult.
"Thirty is thirty, and you must remit the money on time every month." Old Man Su was unusually straightforward. His parents were still young and it was difficult for them to find a job. After paying their parents, they only had five dollars left. He believed that it would not be long before the two of them suffered outside and would come back, and by then the control would be back in his hands.
Su Xiangqiu was afraid that her father would go back on his word, so she immediately went to get the paper and pen used to write the marriage certificate and asked Director Zhu to write it for them. However, her father felt that girls were not educated, and she and her sister could not read a few words and could barely write their own names.
After the Su family's affairs were resolved, Su Xiangqin took the comrades of the Revolutionary Committee to the Zhang family.
Mrs. Zhang was alone at home, lying on the kang to catch up on her sleep, when the gate to the courtyard was suddenly pushed open.
Granny Zhang was so frightened that she quickly climbed off the kang and ran to the door, where she saw a group of people walking towards her. She yelled at the top of her voice, "You are the damned ones! Don't you know to knock before entering? If you keep charging in like this, I will call the police to arrest you."
The onlookers laughed and said, "It's so funny. If they arrest us, the first person the police will arrest will be you."
Mrs. Zhang wanted to stop them, but seeing Wu Dong's serious look, she was too scared to move. She just watched Su Xiangqin take Wu Dong into the house.
It was not until Widow Zhang and Zhu Yingcai were brought in that Mrs. Zhang realized something was wrong and rushed to the house, trying to hide her things.
Unfortunately, it's too late.
Su Xiangqin was originally worried that Zhu Yingcai would not be punished severely enough for stealing some fabrics, but she was unexpectedly pleasantly surprised.
