"Of course I have to look at you. I want to see what expression and mentality you have when you say these words.
There is a huge difference in strength between men and women. How can you call a man beating a woman a minor quarrel between husband and wife?
Why is beating someone outside considered illegal, but beating your wife at home is considered just a fight?
Sister Yang, I hope you oppose my suggestions because you don’t like me.
If you're objecting to something other than disliking me, then I think that's terrible.
As a cadre, there is nothing worse than showing no sympathy or compassion for vulnerable groups and instead looking down on them from a condescending attitude."
Shen Annian's words were powerful, and the conference room was silent, with no one speaking.
Sister Yang's face turned pale. She opened her mouth several times but didn't know how to refute her.
She looked at Director Huang, wanting her friend to speak for her.
Director Huang didn't dare to speak at this time.
Today's meeting mainly discussed the issues of their Women's Federation.
Although there was no explicit accusation that she, as the director of the Women's Federation, was not doing her job properly, every word was pointing at herself.
If the Women's Federation did its job properly, there wouldn't be all these troubles.
She couldn't even protect herself, so how could she have the courage to plead for Sister Yang?
Secretary Chen glanced at Sister Yang, who was almost unable to hold on, and then his eyes fell on Shen Anyan.
"How are you going to catch the typical one?"
"During my time in the countryside, I have learned about the situation from the captains of each brigade and have also noted some of the more serious cases involving 87 people.
Now that the busy farming season is over, I think we can go down to each brigade, gather people together, and let them see the consequences of these people beating children and women.
Children are the flowers of the motherland, and women are also part of the people. They are also protected by the state, and the state will not watch them being harmed for no reason."
Secretary Chen looked at her. Shen Annian had lost a lot of weight due to the high-intensity work during this period.
But deep in her eyes, there seemed to be two flames burning, so passionate.
With the comparison, the more Secretary Chen looked at others, the more upset he felt.
If everyone could be like her and be willing to do practical work, their work would not be so difficult to advance.
"Xiao Shen's idea is very good. Young comrades are bold and courageous. We should learn from Xiao Shen in the future."
Secretary Chen made the final decision.
Sister Yang's face became even uglier.
She and Shen Annian had different opinions. Secretary Chen praising her like this was like slapping herself in the face.
Ever since she last made a self-criticism at the meeting, Sister Yang has never felt so embarrassed in her life.
After coming out of the conference room, she stopped Director Huang and said with a resentful tone, "Why didn't you say a word for me just now? It's a shame for our friendship over the years."
When she was promoted to director, I even spoke well of her.
Director Huang knew that he would be blamed.
But what Secretary Chen said was indeed a good idea, but she couldn't understand why Sister Yang was so opposed to it.
"Old Yang, why do I feel like you're acting so strangely today? The method proposed by Secretary Shen is not unfeasible. Why are you so strongly opposed to it?"
When Sister Yang heard that her good friend was actually on Shen Anyan's side, she felt like she was betrayed.
"She's the one I told you about. She stole Xiaoyue's job."
Director Huang was speechless, and at the same time he understood why Sister Yang had such strong hostility towards her.
Sister Yang originally wanted to arrange for her daughter to enter the commune, but who knew that someone would suddenly appear and take her place, causing Xiaoyue to lose her job.
But she felt that Shen Annian still had some abilities, which was different from what Sister Yang had said before.
However, seeing that Sister Yang was so angry, she naturally didn't dare to say this out loud.
"Things have already happened, don't be angry.
I think the secretary agrees with her approach this time, so let's work together and resolve this matter."
If this matter is handled properly, the future work of the Women's Federation will be much easier to carry out.
The villagers of Dahe Village went to work in the fields as usual, but unexpectedly a group of militiamen rushed out and arrested six people including Qin Xiaoshan.
Everyone was terrified. "What's going on? How do we catch them?"
"Niannian, what are you doing?"
Shen Anyian had already informed Qin's father in advance, so Qin's father was not panicked at all.
Shen An Nian looked at everyone with a cold face and said in a cold voice: "Since its establishment, our Women's Federation has been promoting the idea that persecuting girls and women is illegal, but everyone has turned a deaf ear to it.
These were the ones who beat their wives the most severely. The commune decided to arrest them and send them to the farm for reformation.
Of course, I also know that there are people among you who beat and persecute female comrades. Don't think that everything will be fine as long as you are not arrested.
If any women who have been beaten report it to the Women's Federation, you will still be sent to the farm for reform."
With a wave of her hand, the militia tied up those people and carried them onto the ox cart like pigs.
Others who have beaten their wives: …
I won’t dare to do that again. I will never hit anyone again.
Three days later in the afternoon, commune cadres went to Dahe Village.
Qin's father informed everyone to go to the threshing ground.
No one knew what was going on and was talking about it.
Suddenly, the militia came over with people. Although those people lowered their heads, how could we, the villagers who had lived together for so many years, not notice it?
