"...Yes, so you must eat your fill to get back at him! Only then can he rid himself of this humiliation!"
"Sis, why don't you eat with us next time? Let's eat more."
"I'm not going, I can't eat."
Why?
"He's too ugly."
"..."
When they got home, neither Su Lin nor Liu Mei had gone to sleep.
The heads of the household haven't come home, so no one can sleep.
Seeing Su Yu return, Su Lin quickly poured hot water for her to wash her face and soak her feet. "Sister, did you cook some white flour dumplings for dinner? I've been saving some for you."
Upon hearing the words "dumplings," Su Dazhi covered his mouth and shook his head.
Su Zhi waved his hand.
Su Yu said, "You and Meizi should eat more. Why give them food? Women should treat themselves better."
Su Lin and Liu Mei's eyes lit up.
Since we're eating white flour dumplings, we're not making too many; we're only planning to eat about half full each. Anyway, we'll go to sleep after eating, so we're not worried about going hungry.
Now that the older sister had spoken, the two of them quickly grabbed their bowls and each filled a large bowl. "Sister, I'll get you some too."
"No need, no need. You and Meizi have worked hard, eat more. Things are getting better at home, and I won't treat you badly."
The two of them ate while staring at Su Yu, thinking, "She's really great."
As Liu Mei lay down next to Su Dazhi that night, she murmured, "Dazhi, the noodles were so delicious. I ate so much today. I'm so full. I think life is pretty good right now. It's not bad at all. Other people definitely wouldn't be able to afford to eat this much."
"Meizi, please stop, okay? Stop eating." Su Dazhi rolled over, his stomach still incredibly full. He usually ate porridge or something, but now, out of the blue, he'd had two meals of plain white rice, and a lot of it at that, plus pork noodles, braised pork… ugh…
Liu Mei suddenly felt bored and turned over. "You treat me worse now than my older sister did." She thought back to how Su Dazhi used to listen to her every word, but now he didn't even want to listen to her gossip. Men really do change quickly.
It seems that even after separating, things might not be going well. That bastard Su Dazhi has changed his mind so cruelly. Who knows how he's mistreated her?
Outside, Su Yu was pondering Ming's job.
Sigh, I wonder if Officer Lin has the guts to bring it up, otherwise she'll have to be the one to bring it up.
...
I had barely arrived at the office in the morning when union members started arriving one after another. These factories are recruiting, and all departments need to cooperate.
Committee members Zhang and Hu have been helping to set the exam questions, and they have rarely stayed in the office these days.
"Two more people have joined the factory committee. I think we should also bring in some people for our trade union. Once Su Yu's work gets going, we won't be able to focus on anything else."
Committee Member Hu was chatting idly in his office.
Su Yu said, "I can work overtime without any problem."
“Committee Member Hu, how about I help? If Su Yu is busy, I think I can still help with her current work,” Officer Lin suddenly said.
Committee Member Hu was taken aback, glanced at Secretary Lin, and then looked at Su Yu. Su Yu also looked surprised.
Committee Member Hu said, "Let's just forget about this. Su Yu is doing a good job. If it really doesn't work out, we can hire more people later. The factory committee already has more people than us, and we have a lot of work to do right now, so we can apply to increase the number of positions."
Committee Member Hu disagreed with assigning the work to Secretary Lin. After all, Secretary Lin was working for Chairman Sun. Although Chairman Sun was the leader, if the work were truly handed over to Secretary Lin, Chairman Hu would have fewer responsibilities. As a leader, having fewer responsibilities meant having no achievements, which was absolutely unacceptable.
Hearing what Committee Member Hu said, Officer Lin smiled awkwardly, "Alright, I'll do it too. After all, I'm also a member of the union, and I should help out in any way I can."
“I can help Su Yu too,” Yan Fang said, not pleased.
Hu said, "That's settled for now. Su, hurry up and finish the manuscript. I'll take a look this morning, and I have a meeting at the provincial newspaper this afternoon."
Su Yu nodded, "I've almost finished brainstorming tonight, it'll be done soon." Then she buried herself in writing.
Su Yu finished writing the draft in half a morning. After making some minor revisions, she handed it to Committee Member Hu for review.
After reviewing it once, Committee Member Hu took it to the factory's printing room to have it typed.
Seeing her leave, Su Yu quickly followed.
"Committee Member Hu." Su Yu called out to Committee Member Hu halfway there.
Committee Member Hu turned around and saw that she had followed him. He asked, "What's wrong? Do you need to revise the draft?"
"No, Committee Member Hu, I wanted to talk to you about what happened with Secretary Lin before."
Upon hearing this, Committee Member Hu said with a stern face, "Forget it, she's obviously trying to steal your job. Su Yu, you're new here and don't understand yet. If your job is taken away, and you don't have any opportunities to perform well later, how will you get ahead?"
"Committee Member Hu, I think Secretary Lin is a very good person. She also wants to help me. And I just thought of something, if Secretary Lin speaks to Chairman Sun, Chairman Sun will agree. It will be a lot of trouble for you, Committee Member Hu."
"What's there to be afraid of? My relationship with Chairman Sun is not bad either."
"I'm worried this might affect your relationship. It's better if we take the initiative to arrange it ourselves, so we don't have to trouble Chairman Sun. Most importantly, this matter will still be under your supervision, Mr. Hu; it's just one more person helping out. If you're still worried, Mr. Hu, we can simply divide the tasks, letting her do a part. For example, she can specifically find materials, and I'll write the articles. The articles will still be credited to both Mr. Hu and me. After all, I'm used to writing these articles; this style is established. She can't do it anyway. This way, everyone has something to do, and things won't change much. What do you think, Mr. Hu?"
