Chapter 633 What is your identity?
Lu Qiaoge's expression remained unchanged as she asked directly, "So, Comrade Liang Min has to cook this meal?"
Old Mrs. Tian had this idea all along, so she didn't say anything. Old Mr. Tian had the same idea, but he also had to save face, especially in front of Lu Qiaoge, the factory director of the food factory. So he was caught up in this dilemma and didn't have time to shake his head. Tian Daming was in a similar situation to Old Mr. Tian, but he couldn't admit it to his face. So he hesitated and couldn't deny it immediately.
Liang Min felt an uncontrollable surge of grievance and anger welling up inside her.
How could you do this?
What did she do wrong that made her family lose face at all?
She wanted to turn against him, but Director Lu was at home, and her mother-in-law was actually a very unreasonable person. If she resisted at this time, her father-in-law and husband might not say anything, but her mother-in-law would definitely not suppress her temper. She would feel that her dignity and status as a mother-in-law had been challenged by her daughter-in-law.
My mother-in-law still has a shred of reason left. If we really anger her to the point that she loses all reason, she might cause some bad things.
Factory Director Lu was still a young woman, and she didn't want to be mistreated by her mother-in-law at home.
But she remained silent, her resentment unbearable.
Why is fate so cruel to her?
Liang Min clenched her hands tightly, wanting to say, "I'll go cook. Director Lu, it's so late, you should go home and rest. She'll be fine..."
However, it was obvious that Director Lu was there to support her. If she compromised now, wouldn't Director Lu be considered to be meddling in other people's business today?
Lu Qiaoge first looked at the Tian family members, and then at Liang Min. She took in their expressions and understood what they were thinking.
She didn't care about the others, but Liang Min surprised her.
Submissiveness may just be Liang Min's protective shield.
Come to think of it, a person who passively accepts their fate will not fight for opportunities to improve themselves.
It's just the result of living under someone else's roof for so many years.
Lu Qiaoge's face immediately turned cold, and she asked in a crisp voice, "Aunt Tian, I'd like to ask, what do you consider your status?"
Now that this question has been asked, everyone understands what's going on.
Old Mrs. Tian glared at him: "What am I? I'm a member of the working class!"
Lu Qiaoge looked at Old Granny Tian and said, "Aunt Tian, why do I feel like you're one of those old-fashioned landlord women who never lifts a finger, always beats and scolds their maids and servants, and treats their daughters-in-law like cattle and horses?"
Old Mrs. Tian's expression immediately changed.
This is a huge accusation, just like that, it was slapped onto her head.
Then she realized that the person in front of her was a leader of a unit, and that the unit was a large one with nearly 10,000 employees.
When Lu Qiaoge said this, her aura was different from before, making Lu Qiaoge's heart skip a beat.
Old Mrs. Tian's ideas have always been very simple.
Liang Min was originally in charge of cooking at home. Even though she went to work at the food factory, she didn't miss a day of cooking three meals a day and doing other housework.
Moreover, her daughter-in-law's salary is higher than her eldest son's, which she is happy to see.
Since Liang Min got a job, the family's income has increased immediately. So, since his daughter-in-law went to work at the food factory, his husband has been saving up his retirement pension.
After Liang Min started working, not only did it not affect her interests in any way, it also increased the family's income.
She continued to live a life of ease at home, where everything was done for her.
Therefore, Old Lady Tian not only had no objections to Liang Min's work, but also supported it.
But suddenly I had to work overtime, and I've been doing it for over a week now.
She couldn't stand eating so late every night.
They looked like they were so hungry their intestines were about to come to a knot.
But she doesn't cook.
Because cooking is her daughter-in-law's job.
She went through the same thing.
Why should Liang Min be an exception?
Even in this new society, does that mean a son is no longer a son, and a daughter-in-law is no longer a daughter-in-law?
Since her daughter-in-law is working overtime at her workplace, then Lu Qiaoge must be in charge of the workplace matters.
She felt perfectly justified and entitled to go to Lu Qiaoge.
I even feel like my whole body is reason.
Even just now, she thought so.
But now, hearing Lu Qiaoge speak like this, she inexplicably felt flustered. She glared at him and said, "Lu... Factory Director Lu, you can't just talk nonsense and put a label on me."
Little Cangcang was in the house, and it reported to Lu Qiaoge: "[...Liang Min spends most of her salary, and she only keeps a few yuan for herself. She doesn't have much savings, but Old Tian's wife has saved quite a lot of money. She has two deposit slips with a total of more than 400 yuan. She told Old Tian's wife that this is for her youngest son to get married.]"
Tian Daming also wanted to give the old lady ten yuan every month, saying it was for rent and the cost of taking care of Ranran. Old Mrs. Tian said that with Liang Min's salary in the future, she would not only not have to spend a penny, but would also be able to save tens of yuan every month.
Old Tian also said that the food factory had really good benefits, and such a good job was hard to find even with a lantern. Fortunately, Liang Min had no parents and didn't have to support her family.
They also said that Ranran is a girl and won't need money in the future, so the Tian family shouldn't split up, and Liang Min and the others shouldn't leave home. That way, they could control Liang Min and Tian Daming's money...
So, is Liang Min the main breadwinner for the family now?
Lu Qiaoge looked at Old Tian and asked, "Why is Liang Min working overtime at the factory?"
Old Mrs. Tian opened her mouth, but why?
For work, what else could it be for?
Lu Qiaoge didn't give her a chance to speak, and said seriously, "It's for the construction of our country, for the production tasks of the factory, and also for your family to live a better life!"
The Tian family members remained silent.
The factory manager, who was speaking softly and offering them instant noodles, suddenly changed his expression. Not only Tian Daming, but even Old Tian was startled.
He wanted to refute, but everything Lu Qiaoge said was right and correct, so what could he say to refute it?
Lu Qiaoge's voice was somewhat stern: "Comrade Liang Min worked hard all day, only dragging her tired body home after nine o'clock. Not only did she not get a sip of hot water, but she also had to listen to you interrogating her here, thinking about how to push her back to the stove to continue being your free long-term laborer..."
Liang Min stood silently to the side, her lips pursed, feeling a warmth in her heart, and her eyes even felt a little moist.
"I..." Old Mrs. Tian was speechless after being bombarded with a series of questions. She opened her mouth, wanting to retort that "women should cook," but under Lu Qiaoge's imposing aura representing the organization and the factory director, she couldn't bring herself to say it.
Lu Qiaoge didn't give anyone a chance to argue. Although what she was about to say wouldn't be of much use to the Tian family, she still had to say what needed to be said and lay the groundwork.
