Ma Qiqi held Gu Meilian's arm, and the two of them looked pitifully at everyone, especially the men.
The woman who had always disliked them was now even more hateful.
"Secretary, don't ask me, but no one wants to cause trouble for themselves. If someone climbs onto the kang of a couple in the middle of the night, will you let them get by?"
"That's right, Secretary. If anyone dares to have a bad work style these days, what will happen if they end up blaming others? That would be asking for trouble."
"Secretary, since we don't want to, why don't you take them home? It's just one night anyway."
The secretary's wife had just arrived and jumped out immediately when she heard others say this.
"Whoever wants can take her back. I have no place to live at home. You old ladies, you never think of my family when good things happen, but you always push problems onto my house."
Everyone laughed at her frustrated look.
"Why? As the Party Secretary, you are the leader. Of course you have to take the lead. If your Party Secretary brings up something, even if we don't want to, we have to take it back."
The secretary's wife glared at the old secretary.
The branch secretary knew he was in the wrong, so he squatted in the corner, smoking his pipe silently without saying a word.
"So what do you guys say? Should we have them stay in the brigade office for the night? We can figure it out after tonight is over."
As long as you don't stay at a member's home, no one cares where you go.
"What if the two of them steal something? If they steal something from our brigade, who will be held responsible?"
No matter which method is proposed, there will always be people who disagree.
"Then what do you say we should do? Do we really have to chase them away in the middle of the night? We wouldn't be so unkind, would we?"
Accountant Wang thought for a long time and said hesitantly, "Why don't we let them stay in the empty house next to the brigade headquarters for one night? No one lives there, but every year people light the kang and work in it."
The house that Accountant Wang mentioned was the firewood shed of the former landlord's family. The landlord and his family fled abroad a few years ago, and the original house was demolished. The current brigade headquarters was also part of the landlord's family, but the main part has been demolished.
Ma Zhanguo thought about it and felt that it was feasible. After all, the house was simply renovated every year, so it was no problem for people to live in it.
He stood up and tapped his pipe. "Alright, that's it. Gu Meilian and your daughter will stay in the house next to the brigade headquarters tonight. As for what to do next, you can figure it out on your own. After all, you've seen everyone's attitude. Go back to where you came from. Our Feiyue Brigade has no room for you."
Ma Qiqi was really anxious. Her father had been taken away, and the older brothers never looked at her and her mother straight in the eye. It was a good thing they didn't step on them now. There was absolutely no way they would help.
She shook her mother's arm and asked her to think of a solution.
What could Ma Xiu Lian do? Now that the house in the city had been taken away, the family's money had always been collected by Ma Guogang. Although she had hidden some private money in the past few years, the amount was not much.
That damn man never believed her. No, he didn't believe anyone. Even his sons only got a little bit.
Before leaving, I collected the money at home, fearing that no one would take care of me if I ran out of money in the future.
Now that they can't even live in the countryside, what can they do if they go to the city? How long can the little money they have sustain them?
You still have to find a way to stay and have a stable place to live.
Those women can't keep men. They are so ugly, so don't blame the men for not coming home, huh.
The branch secretary asked several young and strong men to clean up the room and light up the kang.
But no one was willing to let their men go to help, but the branch secretary had already given the order, and they had no choice but to go along because they were really worried.
Gu Meilin glanced at Wang Daya and Li Cuiying with a venomous look. If they were not two outsiders, why would her elder and second brothers ignore her?
Sooner or later, they will end up in a more miserable situation than her, and she is waiting to see them make a fool of themselves.
Finally, a big problem was solved. Li Cuiying and Wang Daya felt relieved. If possible, they would like to completely sever ties with Gu Meilin.
Now when outsiders mention it, they still say that it is a member of the Gu family. Recently, the Gu family has lost face in the team.
When it comes to this, they all want their daughters to stay away from the Gu family, for fear that if they get too close, people will see them and gossip about them.
The problem was solved by someone, and Li Cuiying and her husband went back.
"Second brother, are we really going to just leave them alone? They really have nowhere to go in their current situation. Where else can the eldest sister go at her age? Our parents are gone, and we brothers don't care. Are we really going to let them die out there?"
Gu Zhenjiang sighed, "Brother, haven't you figured out what kind of person Gu Meilin is after all these years? Twenty years ago, when she was doing well in the city, I wouldn't have said anything if she came back even once. But look at her, she didn't even bother to come back to see her parents when they passed away. How can you expect a person like her to have any conscience?"
You saw the attitude of the team members today. If she continues to behave herself and causes trouble, will you take the blame for her? Aren't you afraid of being beaten up?
Even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about the children in the city. Do you want to make them too embarrassed to come back in the future? Aren't you afraid that your daughters will be gossiped about behind their backs?"
Gu Zhenxing was so embarrassed that he couldn't raise his head. As the eldest in the family, seeing the relationship between his younger brothers and sisters become like this, he was afraid that he would not be able to face his parents in the future.
She sighed, "How could such a good child grow up to be like this? I still remember how adorable she was when her parents brought her home. She always loved running behind us when she was little, and whenever she was bullied outside, she would ask us to stand up for her, saying that other brothers always protect their sisters, but why can't she do that now?"
When Gu Zhenjiang thought back to his childhood, he could no longer remember what his childhood was like. Gu Zhenhai was only one year younger than him, and Gu Meilin was also only one year younger than Gu Zhenhai, one year older each. In fact, they didn't remember anything about their childhood at all.
"It's been so many years, people change, don't worry about her affairs from now on."
Gu Zhenxing had no choice but to shake his head and turn back to the house.
Gu Zhenjiang looked at his elder brother's head, which was already full of white hair and his back had bent down without him knowing when. In the blink of an eye, they had grown old. He couldn't help but think of his childhood, and his heart softened.
Li Cuiying didn't want to get involved in the affairs of the two brothers, so she stood in the distance and waited.
Gu Zhenjiang walked over slowly: "Let's go back."
A night passed. Today, Li Cuiying planned to visit Teng Gui's house and return to the city in the afternoon.
"You and Tenggui haven't seen each other for quite some time, right? Why don't we just take eggs? It's a pity we didn't know before we came back, otherwise it would be nice to bring some brown sugar."
