Chapter 594 How is work divided in your family?
The women's director parted the crowd and went forward.
Among these people, she knew the former principal and President Yu.
Then Lu Qiaoge quickly figured out the situation of this family.
Of course, it was Xiao Cangcang who came with her.
After circling around the village, it flew over to tell Lu Qiaoge.
The woman who hit the child was named Wu Dani. Her husband was the man sitting on the bench with his legs crossed. He was the second son of the Cao family.
The other two are Cao Laoda and Cao Laosan, and the older ones are the Cao family's old man and old woman.
The two women watching the commotion were the wives of Cao Laoda and Cao Laosan, respectively.
Zhao Lao Er's family has three daughters but no sons.
Wu Dani and Cao Lao Er did the most housework at home, and they didn't like their three daughters. Beating and scolding them was a common occurrence.
They felt ashamed in the village, looked down upon by their parents, bullied by their brothers, and suffered hardships at home because they had given birth to three daughters.
The one who got beaten was the eldest child in the family, ten years old, named Cao Zhaodi. The second child was named Pandi, and the third child was named Laidi.
Xiao Cangcang continued to tell Lu Qiaoge: "The child sitting on the ground with no one taking care of him is Cao Lao Er's youngest daughter, named Cao Laidi."
Then, when Cao Zhaodi was eight years old, the old principal came to Cao Lao Er and said that his eldest daughter was very smart and that if she studied, she would definitely be able to get into high school and become a worker in the city. He said that the two of them would definitely benefit from her.
So Cao Lao Er and Wu Dani agreed to send their child to school.
But this was before large-scale farming of chickens, ducks and geese.
The Cao family now raises more than 100 ducks and more than 30 geese. Because the Cao family has not divided the property, these tasks have fallen to other people.
The wives of Cao the eldest and Cao the third conspired to persuade Old Mrs. Cao to order Cao the second and Wu Dani to bring Cao Zhaodi, who was in school, back to her home to tend the ducks and geese.
That's the situation.
Then Old Cao quickly put down his pipe, and the villagers gradually gathered around.
Old Cao's hands were trembling. Why were so many high-ranking officials here? Had someone in his family done something wrong?
However, I didn't see any police station personnel, but seeing the grim faces of the women's director and the former principal, I immediately understood what had happened.
This must be caused by not letting the children go to school, right?
To be honest, this old principal is really just bored and meddling in everything.
Just because someone calls him "Old Principal" doesn't mean they think they're something special.
There was only one teacher and a dozen or so students.
Calling him "Old Principal" was just a joke everyone used, but he took it seriously.
He was also obsessed with officialdom, fearing that all the students would leave and he would be left with no one to command.
In truth, he was just a peasant who had only attended school for a few days. He also lived in this village. His daughter and son didn't become workers; they were both farmers.
He, on the other hand, keeps talking non-stop every day.
But there are so many people here.
Old Cao quickly pretended to scold, "Second son's wife, what are you doing? I told you not to hit the child, why are you hitting the child now?"
By this time, Wu Dani had already put down the willow branch in her hand and stood awkwardly to the side.
Cao Lao Er, who had his legs crossed, also hurriedly stood up from the stool and picked up his youngest daughter who was sitting on the ground.
Cao Zhaodi, who was holding her head, slowly raised her head.
For some reason, she suddenly spotted Lu Qiaoge in the crowd.
Because only her gaze was the warmest.
Cao Zhaodi, who hadn't shed a single tear just moments before, suddenly started shedding tears.
However, she didn't dare to go forward because she didn't know who these people were.
At this moment, Wu Dani pulled her behind her.
Without delay, President Yu stepped forward and asked the team leader, "Is this the place the old principal was talking about?"
At the same time, President Yu walked into the courtyard, looked around, frowned, and asked, "Does this family have a head?"
Of course there is; the head of this household is Old Cao.
Before the brigade leader could speak, the villagers gathered outside shouted, "Old Cao is the one who calls the shots in the Cao family, but Old Cao the eldest also has the final say."
President Yu went to see Old Cao, and seeing the old man's gray hair, he softened his voice: "Old man, can you tell me how the work is divided in your family now?"
The old man was taken aback, not expecting that the question wasn't about enrolling his younger brother in school, but rather about this matter.
The old man wasn't stupid; in fact, he was quite shrewd.
I guessed it right away.
But he had no choice but to tell the truth, after all, there were so many villagers around and so many high-ranking officials, how could he dare to lie?
He had no choice but to honestly say, "We haven't separated our households. We work and eat together. My three sons and I all work in the fields. My second son's wife also works with us."
Even as she spoke, there was still a hint of awkwardness on her face.
However, he didn't take it to heart, since his second son's wife had given birth to three money-losing babies.
At this moment, Wu Dani's face no longer showed the fierceness it had shown before, but her expression appeared somewhat numb.
At this moment, Lu Qiaoge also walked into the courtyard.
Pushing Wu Dani aside, she pulled out the little girl who had been dragged behind her.
After a careful inspection, thankfully, they didn't kill him.
Otherwise, this little girl would definitely get hurt wearing such thin clothes.
Lu Qiaoge didn't say anything, but just smiled at the little girl, and then stood aside, waiting for President Yu to continue asking how the work was divided in the family.
Only after we understand the situation can we talk about the little girl not going to school.
Otherwise, these people will have a hundred excuses to fob you off.
Especially in a family that is extremely sexist.
As expected, President Yu was experienced and continued to ask in a gentle voice, "So you're saying that your family only has five people officially working here?"
Old Cao nodded, forcing a smile, and said, "Yes, there are only five of us."
The other two daughters-in-law said they were going to work in the fields, and then said they would take their grandsons to jump into the river.
In the end, he didn't dare to get involved anymore.
President Yu continued gently, "So, the people staying at home are your husband and your two other daughters-in-law. What do they do every day?"
Old Cao mumbled, "Anyway, it's just these chores around the house."
At this moment, Cao Zhaodi, who was being held by Lu Qiaoge's hand, suddenly looked at President Yu.
Lu Qiaoge naturally noticed this action and said gently, "Little girl, just say what you want to say."
For some reason, Cao Zhaodi felt full of energy, and her mind was exceptionally clear. She was already very smart, and now she knew even better what to say and do to benefit herself.
Then the little girl said in a clear, crisp voice.
"President Yu, my mother not only gets up early every day to cook for the whole family, but after cooking, she also goes out to work in the fields with everyone. When she comes back at noon, in addition to cooking, she also has to do laundry."
My mother washes all the clothes for the family by herself. It's understandable that my grandmother is too old to do anything, but my aunt and uncle are about the same age as my mother, but they don't cook or do laundry. They just wait for my mother to finish her chores and come home to do them.
My family raises many chickens, ducks, and geese, and they find it too tiring, so they won't let me go to school and make me stay home to herd the ducks. I've been away from school for three months and ten days now. President Yu, I want to go to school!
My darlings, there's a lot of H1N1 flu going around lately, please take precautions, love you all!
