Old Chen was called to the factory director's office halfway through his shift. Seeing Yang Su accusing him of assaulting someone, he pointed to the two black eye sockets on his face and said defensively, "I'm still giving her trouble. She's cuckolding me, and I can't even question her?"
The director of the machinery factory winked at another junior leader in the room, and that person wisely closed the door.
The leaders would just listen to the matter of whether it was cuckold or not. Otherwise, if word got out that such a thing happened to their technicians, even if it turned out to be a misunderstanding, they would not be able to explain it later.
The factory director still treats veteran technicians like Chen Weiguo with some preferential treatment.
"Old Chen, Old Chen, don't get excited. You're already this age, so be more steady. You said that Comrade Yang Su, your wife, was involved with another man, right?"
In this office, only the factory director is qualified to ask Chen Weiguo. Old man Chen Weiguo doesn't even look at other people, but he still has to give face to the factory director.
Old Chen gritted his teeth when he talked about this, "She was flirting with an old man from the street office, and even word of it reached me. How can I not be angry?
But she has done something wrong to me, and she still made a scene at home, and now she has come to the factory to complain. Look how badly she hit my eyes, if she hits me harder, I might even go blind."
Today, with this huge black eye, Old Chen has been questioned countless times by people in the same workshop. The more he is asked, the angrier he gets and the more embarrassed he feels.
But this old woman actually dared to come and complain, and even went to the gate to cry.
Why should she cry? It was the old woman who cheated on her, not him, Chen Weiguo. He should be the one crying.
The factory director asked: "Are you sure that Comrade Yang Su is having an affair with another man? Have you investigated and confirmed this, or are you just hearing it from others?"
Old Chen's eyes were filled with disdain. "I don't need to investigate to know that she used to seduce me in the same way. It's no surprise that she's seducing an ignorant old man now. This is her specialty."
Yang Su was furious. This old man Chen Weiguo never called it an affair when he was dating her. Now she didn't do anything, but he slandered her as if he had seen it with his own eyes.
"Chen Weiguo, I've never met a man like you who likes to say he's been cuckolded. Why, do you feel proud that I'm cuckolding you or do you think it's an honorable thing?
Do you think people will sympathize with you if you tell everyone I cheated on you? Isn't being a cuckold more satisfying than being awarded an Advanced Worker Award? If you're accusing me of cheating, why not name a specific person, a specific time, and how I cheated?
Old Chen said, "Oh, Yang Su, I didn't tell your mistress about you because I was giving you face. Now, tell me, why did they give you a box two cents more than others? If you didn't hook up with them, why would they give you two cents more for no reason?"
Yang Su was amused by Old Chen's guess, "Why should they give me two more points? It's because these batches of paper boxes are a little more difficult to stack than others, it's that simple.
Chen Weiguo, have you been living a good life for too long? You don't know that the unit price of this kind of odd jobs is different. The price of matchboxes is the lowest. Larger paper boxes and slightly more complicated ones are more expensive than ordinary ones. You can find out about this by just asking at the street office.
You're actually using this excuse to accuse me of cheating. Are you a good person? Why don't you think about why you were able to become an eighth-level worker? Did you cheat on someone so that they let you become an eighth-level worker? Are you having an affair with the factory director?"
The director of the machinery factory was caught off guard when his name was called out and almost choked on his own saliva. He was confused and speechless.
"Old Chen, look at you. How could you so easily misunderstand Comrade Yang Su based on just this reason? He's absolutely right. It's just like our factory. Products with complex processes are more expensive. What's so strange about that?"
The factory director tried to persuade him earnestly, wondering why Old Chen made such a big fuss over such a small matter. He was becoming more stubborn as he got older.
Old Chen still didn't believe it and said angrily, "When she took the job at the neighborhood office, she was flirting with the old man in the mail room. She thought she wouldn't notice if I didn't go home, but she didn't know I've lived here for so many years, and someone would definitely tell me."
Yang Su: "Bullshit, I don't even bother to look at a piece of shit like you. I'd rather look at an old man in the mail room. You old bastards don't think you're such a hot commodity, and you think all widows will like you.
Bah! If it weren't for the little money you make every month, who would care about people like you? You're half buried in the ground, and you're still so stupid! "
Yang Su was cursing to his heart's content, but he didn't realize that the director of the machinery factory was also a dead old man who was a few years younger than Old Chen.
He coughed awkwardly: "Uh... well... Comrade Yang Su, calm down a bit. Let's discuss this calmly and don't attack anyone casually."
Yang Su didn't wait for him to finish. Seeing that Old Chen's face had turned pale, he pressed on, "You men are all cold-blooded. You pretend to be silent and taciturn to make women misunderstand you are honest. In fact, what you do behind their backs is the worst.
You drive a woman crazy, and then you tell others that she is wrong in this or that, and then you tell others that she is crazy because of you, but you don't realize that you are the source of the woman losing her dignity and composure.
In the end, we are the ones who are scolded and laughed at. Everyone will say in the end that it is because of the woman herself and no man can stand it.
But everyone has forgotten that before they married that man, they were also gentle, bright, and decent. But why did the family begin to wither, and why could she do nothing except argue about meaningless things every day?
It's because of you disgusting bastards who suck all the good out of women!"
The faces of all the male comrades present darkened. No one would remain indifferent when being scolded like this by a crazy woman. But now that things have come to this, if they continue to persuade this woman to be more obedient and calm, they will really become the despicable things in her mouth.
The factory director swallowed and turned to look at the only female leader here - Director Qin, the women's director of the machinery factory.
Director Qin didn't know when his frown relaxed. He walked over and pulled the man to sit on a chair. His tone was gentle, "Comrade Yang, I understand your anger and I can understand it. Some things are only heard from outsiders. Only those who are at the center of the incident can understand how disgusting it is.
"As for what you two are saying, the rest of us don't know the truth. Since we don't understand, let's investigate. We will definitely not let you suffer an unjust accusation. However, first, can you tell me what you want?"
