"Comrade, I know I was wrong. I didn't mean to bully anyone before; it's just that sometimes when we argued, things got heated, and I didn't mean any harm..."
Seeing Liu's state, the factory leaders didn't say anything else. They told her to write a self-criticism first, and they would notify her later.
When Sister Liu left the factory, she was extremely upset.
The factory agreed not to post a notice about this matter.
She had to keep this a secret; she absolutely couldn't let her sisters-in-law find out.
Otherwise, many people would kick her when she was down, and she would become the laughingstock of the entire residential compound. Thinking of all this, Sister Liu broke down in tears.
Grandma Liu was taking care of her grandson when she heard crying from the next room, which surprised her.
This daughter-in-law is usually very assertive, and she always has to give in to her. It's really strange that she's crying like this now.
However, Old Mrs. Liu knew that she couldn't step forward at a time like this, otherwise her daughter-in-law would take her anger out on her. Then, they would start arguing again.
My son said that this is a crucial time for him, and if they argue too much, it will affect his work.
Grandma Liu isn't afraid of anything else, but she can tolerate anything that might affect her son's work.
In the morning, many of the women went to work at the factory. Those who remained in the family compound were mostly elderly women or newly arrived military dependents.
An old lady saw Liu and spoke up.
"Sister Liu, your daughter-in-law has such a terrible temper. You're so kind, putting up with her so much..."
"That's right. Look at my daughter-in-law. If I say east, she wouldn't dare go west. Sister Liu, I heard that the brigade leader and Political Commissar Ning know about the scene your daughter-in-law caused yesterday."
Listening to the old ladies' words, Grandma Liu smiled and spoke up for her daughter-in-law.
My son said that even if he and his wife have a huge fight in the family compound, they should still act harmoniously in public, so that he can get points with his superiors.
"My daughter-in-law is also worried about her grandson's health."
After waking up, Jiang Yue took her three children out of the house and played in the yard.
When Grandma Liu and several other elderly women saw Jiang Yue and the children, one of the women said enviously.
"If we're talking about the luckiest guy in this compound, it's Captain Lu. His wife is several years younger than him, a college graduate, and she even had triplets in one pregnancy, making him a perfect family with both a son and a daughter."
"When I first arrived and heard about this, I couldn't believe it. But when I saw these three children, I was amazed. They're so well-raised, chubby and fair-skinned. And they seem to be taller than other children their age."
"They are very polite. If you greet them, they will greet you in a sweet, childlike voice."
"Three Treasures".
After the old woman finished speaking, she shouted "Sanbao!" loudly.
As Sanbao was jumping around, she heard someone calling her, and she looked around.
Hello, Grandma.
Hearing Sanbao's response, the old lady looked triumphantly at the other old ladies.
"See? Isn't that right?"
The other elderly women were also amused.
"That's really true."
"This little girl looks smart."
At noon, Jiang Yue ate lunch with the children and then put them to sleep.
Jiang Yue already knew about Liu's visit to the factory and that Liu had pleaded with the factory leaders, but they had ignored her.
Liu's wife sat at home with paper and pen in her hand. She had been back from the city for several hours, but hadn't touched a single word of her self-criticism.
