Wang Ming's heart skipped a beat. Although he bought his job with his own money, the favor was indeed owed to the old man in front of him.
If he really went to the factory to make trouble, even if the factory could not fire him, it would most likely use some disgusting means to transfer him to a worse position.
Old workers like them who have worked in the factory for many years sometimes have extensive connections, so Wang Ming had to be on guard.
But the old man had already threatened him like this, what could Wang Ming do? "Uncle Chen, you...you just think that my mother is having an affair with another man, why do you only listen to what others say? Can't you listen to what she has to say?
Look at the food on the table, the clothes my mother is wearing. If she really hooked up with someone, would she do it just for a plate of pickles to eat or a piece of patched clothes to wear? And these cardboard boxes, she's already hooked up with someone, why would she bother to paste these cardboard boxes that cost only a few cents each? What's she after?"
Old Chen was furious: "Who knows what she's after? Maybe she wants another old man's body."
Yang Su, Wang Ming, Wang Xian: ...?
Yang Su felt that she had been greatly insulted. Being accused of wanting the old man's body made her even more angry than being accused of cheating on her. "Chen Weiguo, if you really can't think of a reason, you might as well say that I cheated on you to get revenge.
Who wants an old man's body? Am I after his age and body odor, or am I after the wrinkles on his body and face? Are you at a loss for words? Are you accusing me of this for no reason?
Old Chen: "If you didn't steal anyone, why would they frame you for no reason?"
Yang Su kicked the stool, shook off Old Chen's hand, and grabbed his collar with both hands. "Tell me, who said I was cheating? If he really wanted to remind you out of kindness, then take me to confront him. I'm a decent person and I'm not afraid of a villain like him who only stirs up trouble behind my back."
No matter how crazy Old Chen was, he would never really give the person up. He felt that people were reminding him out of kindness. If he sold the person and something happened, it would be troublesome.
So, he said impatiently: "I am giving face to you and me, and I don't want to say it in public. If you do, you will be embarrassed. Just tell me directly, who are you dating?"
Yang Su: "Why, just because I'm in love with someone, you're going to let me go and live with him? Do you, Chen Weiguo, have such a big heart?"
Old Chen's eyes widened. "So, you're really hooking up with someone else, right? You shameless bitch."
Yang Su knew that no matter how much she explained, the old man wouldn't believe her. The moment he came to find her, he had already decided that she was cheating on him, so he wouldn't listen to anything else.
To deal with this petty old man who refused to listen and was ready to starve his wife to death, Yang Su just punched him.
After several months of cold war, the old couple finally couldn't escape the fate of fighting.
At the end of the fight, Old Chen was pinned down by the three of them, his face bruised and swollen as he said, "Yang Su, forget it! As long as I'm alive, don't even think about divorcing me."
Yang Su knew too well what Chen Weiguo was thinking. Although he was beaten into a pig's head, his male pride made him absolutely unable to divorce a second time, otherwise everyone who saw him in the future would think that there was something wrong with him.
Yang Su's eyes rolled, and the next morning she went to the gate of the machinery factory to cry. She still had several bruises on her face from the fight with Old Chen last night, and she looked so pitiful crying outside the factory.
The director of the machinery factory encountered such a thing as soon as he started work today, and hurriedly invited someone over.
All factories are different now than they were before. In the past, when they encountered a male comrade bullying his wife, the leaders would just ask him casually. If the male comrade listened, he would listen; if not, then forget it.
But ever since Old Song from the textile factory went crazy and promoted an old lady to the position of director of women's affairs, the directors of women's affairs in all the factories suddenly started to do practical work.
At first, these leaders were unwilling to cooperate, thinking that this kind of thing would not benefit production. However, this group of women directors united and reported these leaders to the higher-level Women's Federation.
That group of people go to the factory leaders every day to do ideological work, and if they don't give in, they will come to their door every day.
Who can handle this?
Not to mention, the head of the textile factory, Director Song, would laugh at them and be rude to them whenever he saw them. Anyone with a bad temper couldn't stand it.
In the end, it became like this. Now all factories dare not ignore female comrades at will.
The director of the machinery factory asked Director Qin, the women's director of their factory office, to come over and listen to the family's difficulties, so that they would not be accused of bullying.
Director Qin had a very serious, unsmiling demeanor that made people want to quit. Yang Su was also surprised for a moment, but then he thought about Old Chen's stubborn temper and thought that if he could really get some benefits from the pressure from the factory, that would be enough.
Yang Su had wanted to come before, but she didn't adjust her mentality and acted recklessly in the factory. Everyone thought that she was the one with the problem, not Chen Weiguo, and she ended up in a miserable defeat that time.
This time, she knew how to pretend.
Who can't pretend? She was able to pretend so hard that Old Chen married her regardless of everything, which shows that she is quite capable.
She gathered her emotions and began to sob softly, "Director, leaders, I really have no other choice. I'm a woman without a job, and I have to support my young son who's still in school. Life is already difficult. Apart from taking on some manual labor from the streets to make a living, I have no other income.
I thought that marrying Chen Weiguo would give me some relief, but he…” Yang Su paused, as everyone present knew what had happened between them.
Seeing their understanding, Yang Su continued, "I thought we'd just live in poverty and that was all. I came to the factory before to ask Lao Chen to go home, but you saw his attitude.
I was so angry at him that I fought with him. Life was really hard. But since I couldn't get him to go back that time, I gave up and just lived a quiet life and didn't starve to death.
But who knew that yesterday, I don't know who instigated it, but he actually rushed home and accused me of being a thief. Not only did he kick and break the cardboard box we just made, he also threatened to beat me to death. I...if my son hadn't been here, I probably wouldn't have been able to leave the house today."
Yang Su started to cry, she was really full of grievances. Most of what she said was true, and her appearance was really sympathetic.
Director Qin frowned. "You're saying that Comrade Chen Weiguo doesn't give any of his salary to his family, and that you, his lover, can only make a living by pasting paper boxes. And yet he's still trying to make trouble for you?"
Yang Su nodded pitifully.
