Chapter 456: Queuing at Midnight 2
Wang Erniu nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Director Wang, don't worry, I will never hit Xiaoyan again, I will never hit her, don't let Datou be on the list. I'm just angry that she is in contact with that old bitch Chen Xueniang. That old bitch is so dirty, why doesn't the sky thunder and strike her, she flirts with Datou every day with her slender waist and flirtatious eyes to help her fetch water!"
She was afraid that Zheng Datou would not want her because of her rough hands and feet and her weather-beaten face.
Zheng Datou had a salary and ate commercial grain, and people in his hometown said that she was not worthy of Zheng Datou, so she followed him so closely, for fear that Zheng Datou had someone else outside and would come back and divorce her.
Divorce. Now that marriage is free, the team leader of their production team doesn't want his wife anymore.
Although Chen Xueniang was much older than herself, she was extremely pretty, looking younger than herself. She applied lotion every day, had a sleek, shiny hair, and fair, delicate skin. Any man would stop and look at her. How could she not be scared if the two families lived in the same yard? She wanted to drive Chen Xueniang out and stay away from her.
Sometimes, Wang Erniu heard some idlers gossiping. They said that before liberation, only rich people could see Chen Xuenniang. A face of her was worth a fortune, and many high-ranking officials and businessmen from other places came to see her. Now they can see Chen Xuenniang every day without spending any money, and they can look at her as many times as they want. It is much more cost-effective than those rich people.
"Bullshit!" Wang Cuilan glared at her. "Chen Xuenniang buys water every day, and the water truck is parked right at the door. Does she need Zheng Datou to fetch water? Zheng Datou works in the mine all day long, and only takes a day or two off occasionally. You and the kids are at home, so what's wrong with him fetching buckets of water for the neighbors? My Lao Cheng fetches water for this and that, so should I be suspicious of this and that? Suspect Secretary Niu's mother? They live in front of us, and they ask Lao Cheng to help fetch water the most."
Wang Erniu was speechless after hearing these words. Wang Cuilan was still not satisfied and snorted, "Chen Xueniang was persecuted by the feudal society in the past and ended up in a dirty place. It was not her own will. After liberation, she was determined to reform herself and is now a decent woman. There are no brothels in our country anymore. If you don't improve your moral character and keep calling them whores, I will talk to the Women's Federation. Your idea is totally wrong and will easily bring about a bad influence. I will drive you back to the countryside!"
"If she is a good woman, why doesn't she get married?" Wang Erniu muttered.
As long as Chen Xuenniang doesn't get married, people will feel uneasy.
Feng Qingxue held Wang Cuilan, who was having trouble convincing Wang Erniu, and said to her, "Who stipulated that decent women must get married? Stipulating that decent women must get married when they reach a certain age, and forcing them to marry or paying a fine if they don't, that was a thing of the old feudal era. It has long been abandoned. Now it's a new China, a new society, a new custom."
"No, when the country was liberated and the People's Republic of China was founded, the state arranged for many unmarried people to get married, solving the problem of many bachelors who could not get married!" Wang Erniu would not be fooled. All the concubines in the landlord's family were arranged to get married.
"Even if the country has made some arrangements, it will respect the wishes of the parties involved," said Wang Cuilan.
She had come into contact with Chen Xuenniang and knew that she had grown up in a brothel, her health had long been damaged and she could not give birth. She was unwilling to marry a widower with children and work hard to take care of the food, clothing, housing and transportation of the entire family.
