Chapter 121 The New Year is Coming
As Su He was talking, she walked into the inner room of the kitchen. The three children, especially Da Mao and Er Mao, had big eyes and small stomachs. They could not eat anymore, but they were still lingering for a bite and refused to leave.
Seeing the hawthorn strips in their mother's hands, the three children were delighted again.
Su He was feeding hawthorn strips to the three children when she heard Master Yuan come in.
Jin Weiguo greeted Shi Li while holding Xiaobao.
Teacher Wu casually brought out a plate of sugar-coated glutinous rice cakes and said, "Guifang, it's just right that you're here. I made something rare at home and wanted to send it to your house. Dean Yuan is at home, and your family has had a lot of visitors these past two days. I was afraid it would be inconvenient to go over, so I didn't send it. Here, you can take it back and try it!"
Yuan Shiqi waved his hand and said, "Leave these for the children. We've never been short of delicious food at home these past few days. I've also noticed that so many people have been coming and going at home these past few days, but no one has come here! I came here to talk to Xiao Su about something."
Seeing that Shi Li wanted to talk to his wife about something, Jin Weiguo thought it was just a private conversation between women, so he wanted to take Xiaobao to play next door.
Xiaobao refused to leave. Although she was small, she liked to join in the fun.
Master Yuan said, "It's okay. Just listen to it! We need to think carefully about this matter. I was entrusted by my old master Yuan to take care of this matter!"
"Xiao Su, before your school closed, how was your relationship with Ms. Yao, the second grade teacher?"
Su He: "Master, you can see that in this area, apart from my good relationship with Xiao Zhou from Ma Gong's family, I am only close to you. I am not that close to others!"
She thought for a moment, "Teacher Yao lives on the other side of the family compound, right? It seems like it's not far from the Tong family. She has a little girl. My eldest and second daughter go out and play with the other boys. Little girls aren't as playful as them, so they don't play with them. Aside from saying hello when we meet, I rarely talk to her!"
Yuan Shiqi: "I know you're not familiar with her, that's why I came to see you! Teacher Yao's husband, Guan Mingjie, is a real piece of shit!" Then he turned to Jin Weiguo: "Weiguo, this Guan Gong is not in the same working group as you, right?"
Jin Weiguo nodded. "Master, I know Guan Gong. We need to cooperate on the job. He's in charge of braking, and we're not in the same team. We're just acquaintances. What happened to him?"
Teacher Yuan said, "You didn't hear anything this morning, but he beat Teacher Yao half to death at home over some trivial matter! At noon, when I was about to cook, Teacher Yao came over and asked me to make her a meal. But when I asked her what had happened in the first place, she refused to elaborate!"
Su He was also very angry when he heard this: "Master, no matter what the reason is, hitting people is always wrong! We are all educated here and have been educated by the organization for many years. Not to mention that women also hold up half the sky, but hitting people is absolutely not allowed! This kind of mistake must not be tolerated!"
Hearing Su He's agitation, Yuan Shiqi comforted her: "Don't worry, Xiao Su! I'm asking you to help me. I want you to play a double act and tell me your story. Just say that when you first got married, you also had sex with Wei Guo, but later you used some method to prevent this from happening again!"
When Jin Weiguo heard this, he realized that this was just a smear campaign and immediately became unhappy: "Master Li! Master Li... I didn't even touch a hair of Xiao Su! You can't smear me like this! Do I still want to keep my reputation?!"
Su He thought about it and realized that it was indeed unfair to her own man to fabricate a false accusation for the sake of someone else's happiness. However, it was not wrong to use other cases as an example - by the way, you can "make friends out of nothing"!
Su He slapped his thigh and said, "Master, yes, this method can be used. In fact, it is not made up, it really happened. It happened in our hometown. My mother may know about it."
Teacher Wu: "The elementary school teacher in the backyard of your hometown you mentioned? The one who used to beat his wife?"
In this era, many women have old-fashioned ideas: they always give in, hoping to keep the family together and their children together. They always think that if they can endure for a while, the world will be brighter! Su He originally wanted to make up a story, but she didn't expect her mother-in-law to have a real-life example, so she guided her mother-in-law to continue.
Teacher Wu: "It's useless to ask anyone about this matter. No one can go to the house to watch. Even if the company criticizes and educates the man, if he still refuses to change his ways, it will be useless! The woman has to stand up on her own!
"Take this story from backyard back home. The man first beat up his wife. The wife couldn't beat him back. She was small but had a fierce temper, so she went to the school where he worked to complain to the principal! The principal called the man in and gave him a lecture. The man felt that his wife had brought him shame at work, so he went back and started another fight!
"Guess what happened next? This woman, after a few losses, realized that she couldn't win in a face-to-face fight. So she took advantage of the man falling asleep in the middle of the night, found a rope to tie him up, took a willow branch, and beat him hard. She didn't even hit his face, making the man suffer so much pain!
"This woman had only one thing to say: If you don't kill me in one go, even a tiger needs a nap. I'll fight you to the bitter end and see who can outlast me!
"That was enough for this man! I never heard of him hitting a woman again!"
Su He added, "Master, that's why Teacher Yao has to be tough herself. If she fights like hell, I don't think she'll dare to do that again!"
Yuan Shili: "That's the truth. I've heard a lot of this. If you can't beat someone yourself, you can always ask your brothers from your wife's family to come and fight you. Although we don't advocate fighting violence with violence, it's true that a man beating his wife can't escape this logic! It's just that, Teacher Yao... I don't know what to say about her! She's simply..."
Su He thought for a moment and said, "Master, I know what you're trying to say. Teacher Yao is a very quiet person and speaks softly. It's really hard for her to stand up and resist! But, what if we look at it from her daughter's perspective?"
She looked at Xiaobao and said, "If my Xiaobao gets scared and can't sleep at night, I'll really fight him to the death! I believe that most parents have this mentality. Of course, there are exceptions, but they are not ordinary people. I'm talking about ordinary people, like us! Those who don't care about their children and only care about themselves don't count!"
Yuan Shiqi: "Now that you mention it, I actually forgot to ask Teacher Yao. Her daughter is only a few years old. How would she feel if she saw her father beating her mother? Logically speaking, when parents fight, every child would be afraid!"
Su He nodded. "That's right, that's what I meant. If Teacher Yao can wake up and fight back because her daughter is frightened, that's better than anything else saying anything!"
Teacher Yuan said, "I've agreed with Teacher Yao to come home after 3 p.m. By then, the hospital will probably have a decision on how to handle Guan Gong's case, but that's not guaranteed. You can come to my house a little later, after 3 p.m., just as a casual visit. It's a good opportunity to chat and play the good cop and bad cop role with me. Just bring up the child!"
Su He nodded in agreement, and Yuan Shiqi also went home.
After Yuan Shiqi left, Jin Weiguo couldn't help but ask her, "Comrade Su He, when did you become Shiqi's military advisor? Or when did you become a temporary staff member of the Women's Federation?"
Su He didn't bother to pay attention to him. Instead, she said to her mother-in-law, "Mom, look at me! Is there anyone who looks down on his own daughter-in-law like this?"
Teacher Wu smiled but said nothing.
After Su He finished speaking, she turned to Jin Weiguo and said, "Comrade Jin Weiguo! Don't underestimate female comrades! You were away for several months some time ago, and every household was left with women, children, and the elderly. Isn't it true that when one family is in trouble, everyone else has to come to their aid? No one can guarantee that they will never have any troubles! Isn't that right?"
