"Village chief, what are you talking about? What do I need to deal with? I am the most disciplined person. I came here today to tell you that I am getting married." Wu Lian said proudly.
Father Liu heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this and said, "Congratulations, Wu Zhiqing. When are you getting married?"
Wu Lian said shyly, "I had dinner with my boyfriend's family tonight. There were meat and eggs, it was a delicious meal! After dinner, my boyfriend even sent me back home. I told him it was only a few miles away, and I was just too full to eat, so I just walked back.
He said he was worried about me and wanted to see me for a while longer. My boyfriend is really too clingy? " After saying this, he covered his face in embarrassment and looked at Xuemei without any reaction.
Wu Lian deliberately said with hostility, "Comrade Liu Xuemei, my partner and I have decided to get married in three days. By the way, my partner is He Ping, who works at the supply and marketing cooperative. You should know him, right?"
"Wu Zhiqing, congratulations. Comrade He is my colleague. We hardly talk to each other and are not familiar with each other." Xuemei said calmly.
"Really? Well, I heard that you pursued my boyfriend before." Wu Lian glared at Xuemei and asked.
Upon hearing this, Xuemei angrily said, "Wu Zhiqing, who told you that? In all my time at the supply and marketing cooperative, I've never taken the initiative to speak to Comrade He. Comrade He and I have had virtually no contact. Even when we had work-related discussions, we did so in front of everyone.
Everyone at the Supply and Marketing Cooperative knows that Comrade He is your partner. So, you should know that our Deputy Director is his father. Tomorrow morning, come with me to work and explain this to the Deputy Director. Have him gather all the staff at the Supply and Marketing Cooperative. Then, show me who told you this, and make sure you identify him.
Tomorrow I will find out who told you these lies. I will send him to the Revolutionary Committee for education. He dared to slander me and spread rumors everywhere to destroy the reputation of me and your partner.
Liu's mother also said angrily, "Yes, Xuemei is right. You and Xuemei must catch this evil-hearted bastard tomorrow morning. If I don't send her to a reformatory institution, I won't be able to relieve my hatred."
My daughter Xuemei is a serious and good girl. She is not like some girls who are not reserved at all and start dating others in private as soon as a boy flirts with her. "
Mother Liu looked at Wu Lian, whose eyes kept rolling, and continued, "My daughter Xuemei said that she is still young and doesn't want to find a partner. If she wants to date, she needs the consent of me and his father. After all, his father and I are good at judging people. Not every Tom, Dick, or Harry can be worthy of our daughter Xuemei.
Eh? Normally, our Xuemei is good-natured and hardworking. Every time I go to the commune supply and marketing cooperative, her colleagues praise her. The deputy director and the director have all praised our Xuemei. If there was something going on between our Xuemei and your boyfriend, the deputy director wouldn't know.
I think someone likes Comrade He and wants to ruin your marriage with Comrade He, so they're deliberately spreading rumors and causing trouble. Wu Zhiqing, you should tell your boyfriend about this tomorrow and ask him to be more careful."
Father Liu looked at the guilty Wu Lian and said, "Wu Zhiqing, my wife and Xuemei are right. You must tell your partner the truth about this matter. Tomorrow, I will go to the supply and marketing cooperative with you two girls to find out who spread the rumors and caused trouble."
Wu Lian said anxiously, "Village Chief, that's not necessary. This isn't a big deal. Maybe I misheard you. I misunderstood Comrade Liu Xuemei. Comrade Liu Xuemei, I'm sorry."
Xuemei said seriously, "Wu Zhiqing, this isn't a big deal for you, but it concerns my reputation. You're already hearing problems at such a young age. Since you misheard, don't let anyone else hear about this. Otherwise, I'll have no choice but to tell your partner and the deputy director the truth and ask them to help verify it."
"Liu Xuemei, I really know I was wrong. I promise that no one else will know about this in the future." Wu Lian promised.
"What if someone knows about this? Why should I believe you when you have no evidence?" Xuemei asked.
Wu Lian looked at the three Liu family members staring at her and said through gritted teeth, "Then I promise...if we tell anyone about this, I...I...will only give birth to a son as a second child. Is that okay, Comrade Liu Xuemei?"
"Okay, just remember it. If you want to have a boy as your first child, you should control your mouth and do less evil. I also congratulate you and Comrade He Ping on your happy marriage, and wish you a long and loving life together." After Xuemei finished speaking, she thought to herself: I hope you two can stay together forever, and stop harming other people, and it's enough to just harm each other.
Wu Lian didn't care what Xuemei had said before. When she heard Xuemei blessing her and He Ping, she thought Xuemei was envious of her and said boastfully, "Comrade Xuemei, thank you for your blessing. My partner and I will definitely be fine. My partner loves me very much, and so do his parents. They say they like girls like me who are capable and efficient. They also said that after I get married, I won't have to do anything. I can just give them a few grandchildren and do the housework at home."
"Wu Zhiqing, congratulations on finding a good in-law. We haven't washed the dishes yet after dinner. I'll go clean up first." Xuemei said and quickly slipped away, fearing that if she stayed any longer she would be infected by the big fool Wu Lian and become stupid.
After Xuemei left, Liu's father winked at Liu's mother, who then said to Wu Lian, "Wu Zhiqing, besides your marriage, do you have anything else to ask me, the head of the household?"
"Village chief, I will be moving to the commune after I get married in a few days. Should the money spent on renovating my house be returned to me? Also, should the remaining educated youth subsidy be given to me in one lump sum?" Wu Lian asked.
