Naturally, no one knew Wang Chunting's plan.
The old lady was completely oblivious to how annoying she was, and continued to reason: "In my opinion, if you can't do it, there are plenty of people who can do it. If you can't do it, just give up your position!"
So this is what happened. The fox's tail has finally been exposed.
It seems that the pregnant woman is taking up the job, so why not fire her and hire someone new so that someone from the aunt's family can take the job?
How can she be so arrogant as to think that she can decide who will take a position?
Marriage is a happy event. Ming Erni finally restrained her temper and did not lose her temper. She just said with a stern face:
"The factory director is wise and the leadership is shrewd. He's able to give Chun Ting a job. Please be reasonable. Pregnant women have a hard time. Does giving birth mean that everyone has to resign and give up their job?"
Most of the women present were mothers who had also experienced pregnancy at work. The scene reminded them of their own difficult pregnancies, when they really endured the pain to go to work.
They were moved by sympathy and all spoke out against the aunt:
"You're the one who's in charge? Are you the one who's in charge? You're just complaining. Why should I give up my position just because I gave birth to a baby?"
"Exactly. I gave birth to seven! So, is it a mistake for me to have children?"
"Are you out of your mind? I have maternity leave, it's a government regulation! Besides, my colleagues and bosses at work haven't said anything, and you're the only one nagging me. You're just meddling in other people's business!"
…
They more or less sympathized with the mother and even offered Wang Chunting some comfort.
The old lady seemed not to hear these people scolding her, her eyes were blinded by her work, and she just kept saying:
"What kind of good person would not work for half a year after having a baby? You must be so carefree. The country is corrupting people like you who eat food for free!"
Some men, who haven't experienced the pain, think that every woman has children. Their own mothers, sisters, and wives take a month or two of maternity leave and go out to earn money, so why is Wang Chunting special?
They felt that what the aunt said made some sense.
After all, there are only so many people in the factory. If you occupy the position but don't go to work, won't the work be distributed to other colleagues?
How unlucky these men are! They have to bear the burden of work for other people's children!
Some fools were instigated and echoed the aunt's words: "You can take maternity leave, but the maximum stipulated is three months. Isn't six months too much?"
"Exactly. Others go back to work two months after giving birth. Why are you dragging your feet? I think you're just a lazy bitch!"
Without experiencing the suffering of others, they will only scold a woman in labor from the perspective of their own interests.
Wang Chunting and Ming Erni felt depressed. Finding a contract manufacturer was actually a method in the gray area. It was a convention and everyone did it, but they couldn't say it.
If you say it out loud, you'll have something to hold against yourself.
After all, it was you who was actually hired by the factory. You have received training and instruction in the factory, but you let others do the work for you, which will pose a safety hazard.
Some people even take advantage of this loophole to get a job and then have others work, and then do the same thing in another place, making money by constantly selling jobs.
The dispute here naturally attracted Zhang Jidi. She frowned after listening to some of the discussions and spoke out in support of her eldest daughter-in-law.
"Chun Ting suffered a lot when the baby was born. We have already submitted a report to the hospital and reported it to the factory. The factory agreed to take leave, but we are not getting paid. What is this called a mouse eating food for nothing?
Besides, Chunting has worked for the factory for six years and is considered a veteran employee. Even if she can't be considered meritorious, at least she has worked hard. Do you think it's reasonable to stop her from working just because she has a baby?"
Zhang Jidi told a montage of lies, every word was true, but if the order was reversed, the meaning would be completely different.
The hospital report their family submitted was good, but the factory did not agree to their leave. However, since Aunt Qi had already taken over the shift, the leader tacitly agreed that Wang Chunting could not go to work.
As for not receiving salary, it is true. Aunt Qi, who was on the first shift, received salary, but Wang Chunting certainly did not. She indeed did not make any contribution to the factory during this period.
Everyone present came to congratulate the wedding and was close to the Xiang family, so they all said it was reasonable.
Besides, Zhang Jidi’s words were frank and pleasant to the ears. Even Wang Chunting’s leader thought they were reasonable, so the others were naturally convinced.
Zhang Jidi finished speaking and looked at the troublemaker with a smile: "I don't know which elder you are. If you want a job, you can go to the factory director, but the Women's Federation probably won't agree."
The job placement issues of pregnant women can be decided not only by the factory director but also by the Women's Federation.
Twenty years ago, the country was in turmoil due to several major wars, a few years ago there was famine, and in recent years, the border has been in turmoil and the country is short of population. The Women's Federation will never allow pregnant women to be laid off.
If you have to go home and feed yourself once you give birth to a child, how many working women would dare to give birth to a child?
The Women's Federation protects women's rights, so it is naturally impossible for it to sit idly by and watch mothers suffer injustice. When they make a fuss, sometimes the factory director's decision has to be sidelined.
Although late marriage and late childbearing have always been advocated, the one-child policy was not introduced until 1978. At that time, people still believed in the idea of having more children, more blessings.
The aunt knew that Zhang Jidi was not someone to be trifled with, and when she heard that the Women's Federation was a difficult character, she finally shut up.
She was just trying to get something for nothing, hoping that if Wang Chunting was fragile, she would quit her job after being told by the public. Wouldn't that mean she would have gotten the job for nothing?
Even if the flower may not fall into her family, how will you know if you don't try?
Ming Erni didn't let her go: "Factory Director? People will pay attention to you, but you have no ability and only know how to stare at other people's rice bowls. You are a useless person, your brain is different from that of ordinary people."
The old lady's face turned blue and red, but she still refused to move and continued to eat the wedding candy.
When everyone saw that she had quieted down and stopped talking back, they felt bored and stopped paying attention to her.
Xiang Mianmian became angry after hearing the quarrel, so she went up and took away the plate of wedding candy and melon seeds to prevent the old lady from taking advantage of her.
She immediately gave it to the aunts who had helped her. It didn't matter who she gave it to. She would rather give it to those who had helped her family. At least they would say something nice.
In front of everyone, Zhang Jidi still pretended to say a few words to Xiang Mianmian, saying that his daughter was ignorant.
In fact, when they got to a place where no one was around, she almost praised Xiang Mianmian to the sky.
Who would want to eat with such a troublemaker?
But in order to maintain harmony, the adults were too embarrassed to take the food away.
The eldest grandchild, Xiang Youfeng, was less than three years old. How could you expect a little girl who had just learned to run to take away the melon seed tray? She might not even understand the instructions.
Xiang Mianmian was twelve years old, and although she was a little older, she could still get away with it by saying that she was a child and didn't know any better. She also didn't hide the wedding candies and melon seeds, but gave them to other guests.
Several aunts who helped to speak received wedding candies and melon seeds. Each of them grabbed two handfuls and talked more enthusiastically about the good things about the Xiang family, pushing the aunt aside.
Zhang Jidi also took note of all the men who had no sympathy. Women would complain when giving birth, so he would never marry such men.
Why marry someone who is mentally unstable? Are you going to suffer like a slave?
Did they spring forth from the cracks of stone? Born and raised by nature, they need no women?
Childbirth is already difficult for women, and it is too miserable for them to endure physical pain and be criticized.
Moreover, Wang Chunting's colleagues did not complain. As bystanders, they came to persuade the mother to give up her seat. It would be a good thing to eliminate such men.
