The person Liu Mei fears most now is her own sister-in-law.
So she took everything her older sister asked her to heart. She didn't even eat lunch after get off work before heading straight to Old Sun's house.
The Sun family hadn't even started their meal yet when they saw her arrive, and the whole family's faces darkened.
Here we go again?!
Liu Mei completely ignored the disapproving looks from others, plopped down on the bench, and took out five yuan from her bag.
"Comrade Sun Min, here's five yuan for you."
"..." The Sun family was stunned.
Sun Min pointed to herself, "What are you doing?"
"Of course I need you. I originally wanted to just submit your complaint letter directly. But I thought that would be too easy on him. After thinking it over, I think it's better if you go and cause trouble yourself; it will be more effective!"
"..." Sun Min's face turned pale instantly. She waved her hands repeatedly, "I'm not going, how can this cause trouble?"
Why would a grown woman like her cause trouble?
Liu Mei sneered, "You don't have to make a scene, fine. Then I will. But if I make a scene, it'll be different from yours. All the mud will be thrown at you, and you won't have an easy time either. Don't forget, you also wrote a letter with so many mushy things between you and Wu Guozhi. If people see it, let's see how you'll date in the future."
The Sun family members all looked grim. Old Mrs. Sun said with a pained expression, "Comrade, what exactly are you trying to do? Our Minzi will never see that Wu Guozhi again, really. Don't worry."
"I don't want my sister-in-law to meet him either. Let your family meet him if they want, we don't care. But this matter must be addressed. Go report this to your superiors, tell them about that shameless Wu Guozhi harassing you!"
If you don't cause trouble, how will my sister-in-law have a chance to make an appearance?
Old Sun's face darkened with sullen frustration. Sun Min's older brother turned away in anger, sitting there with his back turned. He was also quite resentful that his sister was dating someone like Wu Guozhi, making the family lose face.
Seeing that Sun Min was still hesitating, Liu Mei slammed the money on the table, mimicking the expression Su Yu had when she spoke to her, "After you finish this business, go buy yourself a nice outfit, and find a good boyfriend later. Don't let things fall apart and then you won't even be able to find a boyfriend."
Grandma Sun wiped away her tears, "Min, just go and report it."
"..."
Sun Min glanced at her family, then reached for the money and said, "...I don't have any cloth coupons." Giving money without coupons is useless for buying new clothes.
Upon hearing this, Liu Mei pulled out two cloth coupons from her pocket. "That's easy. I have two. Why don't you exchange them with me for other coupons?"
Sun Min: "..." Even angrier than Wu Guozhi. No wonder Wu Guozhi looks down on your eldest sister!
In the union office of Jiangdong Textile Factory, Su Yu sneezed as soon as she arrived at the office.
Everyone else in the office was looking at her. Yan Fang asked, "Sister Su Yu, are you feeling unwell?"
"I guess it's because the weather has been getting cooler these past few days." Su Yu rubbed her nose. She felt quite uncomfortable.
"The air is starting to get colder, Sister Su Yu. It will be inconvenient for you to go to and from get off work when the air gets colder. Have you thought about applying for the factory's single dormitory? It's very convenient."
Sharing a dorm room with strangers?
No, no, no, absolutely not! The hygiene is appalling. Yes, she was referring to her own hygiene. There would be no one to make the bed, no blankets, no one to wash the clothes, and no one to even boil water for washing her feet. Wouldn't her glorious image be ruined?
"No need, I have a place to stay at home, why would I want to cause trouble for the factory? There are still so many single young people in the factory."
Committee Member Hu said with a smile, "Single young man, Su, when are you getting married? Haven't you and your partner been dating for a few years?"
Yan Fang's expression immediately became complicated. That Wu Guozhi really wasn't good enough for Sister Su Yu.
Su Yu smiled and said, "He was busy with work before, and I was also busy with work when I joined the union, so we didn't mention it. I guess we'll have to wait until next year." A happy look appeared on her face.
Committee Member Hu laughed and said, "If you're having a wedding, just let us know, and we'll join in the fun. Or you could hold it at the factory."
"It's not decided yet, we'll definitely leave it to him."
Committee member Zhang said, "Her boyfriend is really lucky to have found such a good female comrade as Su."
Just as he finished speaking, the office phone rang.
Committee Member Hu immediately answered, "Yes, that's us. Yes, she is..." He looked up at Su Yu and continued, "That's right, it's been several years, and she's still dating. What? Impossible, this is slander, this is blatant slander. Okay, I'll take her there right away."
Sensing something was off about the phone call, the other members of the union looked at her.
Committee Member Hu looked at Su Yu, who looked puzzled. "Committee Member Hu, what's wrong? Do you need me to do something?"
Seeing her like this, Committee Member Hu felt quite uncomfortable. He sighed and stood up, "...Come out with me for a bit, there are some things I need you to take care of."
"Old Hu, what happened?" Committee Member Zhang asked worriedly.
"It's alright, you all go ahead and do your work. Su and I are going out for a bit. It's nothing work-related, so don't worry."
Looking completely bewildered, Su Yu followed Committee Member Hu out the door. Once outside, Su Yu asked, "Committee Member Hu, what's wrong? Did I do something wrong?"
Committee Member Hu then looked at her and said, "Su, there's something I need to tell you, but don't get excited."
"Committee Member Hu, what's the matter? You sound so nervous."
"Oh dear... that phone call just now was from Jiangdong Machinery Factory. They were investigating whether you and Comrade Wu Guozhi from their factory were dating. After finding out you were dating, they told me something: Wu Guozhi was harassing a woman at their machinery factory. Wu Guozhi also said you two have already broken up. It's okay now."
