"I have good news to tell you. I found a job." Zhao Tingting happily announced the news at the dinner table.
"Wow, my wife is so amazing. She can find a job after just one afternoon of playing. Others can't even do that even if they beg for it." Fang Mian applauded.
"Not really. I didn't go looking for a job, the job found me." Zhao Tingting said, "I ran into Aunt Wu this afternoon.
She was the women's director of the neighborhood office, so she asked me if I wanted to contribute to the country.
Nowadays, people are promoting the idea that women hold up half the sky, but it is not so easy to change the thinking of the older generation in the family.
As a result, there are more conflicts in the family, and quarrels at home every day will inevitably affect the men in the family.
Then they won’t be able to work wholeheartedly, which will naturally affect the country’s development?
So our mission is to consolidate the rear for men, mediate disputes between mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law, and allow good men to devote themselves to production." Zhao Tingting spoke passionately.
Father Fang nodded: "This job is suitable for you."
My daughter-in-law has a quick-tempered personality, which makes her quite suitable for this busy job. She can also use force to suppress situations at critical moments.
Even though they are just a group of women, the men can't control them when they start to throw a tantrum.
They were too embarrassed to do anything and could only let them make a fuss.
Fang Mian: "Isn't this work too hard?"
Staying with problematic families all day long, I hope they will be led astray.
Fang's mother clapped her hands and said, "This job requires both money and effort, and it's perfect for a sucker like you."
Zhao Tingting rolled her eyes: "You're just envious and jealous."
"Am I envious? Do I need to be envious? If I want to work, I can choose any job I want.
But I won't go. My husband is the director and can support me. I just need to stay at home and live a good life.
There's no need to go out and show your face." Fang's mother sat upright and took a mouthful of food with pride.
"That's why the older generation has old ideas. Now women can hold up half the sky, but there are still people hiding at home and talking about their husbands all the time and their sons all the time. It's really unacceptable." Zhao Tingting shook her head and said.
"Of course, my husband is the director, so I can bring it up. As for my son, forget it.
"He's such a loser, and he still wants his wife to go out and earn money to support the family. There's nothing much to say." Fang's mother said.
"My husband can also earn money to support the family. You stay at home because no one wants you. I am responding to the country's call to serve the vast number of women." Zhao Tingting said gritting her teeth.
Fang's mother's eyes lit up: "Serving the masses of women? Then I am one of them. Go and help me get a bowl of rice!"
"Do you want me to eat it for you?" Zhao Tingting looked at Fang Mian angrily.
It's all your fault. If you were a factory manager, would your mother still say that to me?
Fang Mian lowered his head and ate silently without saying a word.
This is a women's battle, and smart men should learn to keep their mouths shut.
The next day, Zhao Tingting went out wearing a neat outfit.
She really looks like a professional woman.
Not long after, she returned home.
"Why? Were you sent back on your first day at work?" asked Fang's mother.
"Hello, Ms. Fang Xiaomei, I am Ms. Zhao Tingting, the women's mediator of the street office. You can call me Mediator Zhao.
I received reports from the masses saying that you look down on the working class at home and are trying to provoke class struggle.
This kind of thinking is unacceptable. There are also reports from the public that you often use your position as a man to suppress your daughter-in-law.
This kind of behavior is not desirable. We are all serving the people, regardless of our position.
Also, New China has been established for a long time, and it is quite unacceptable for you to suppress your daughter-in-law.
This is chaff, it must be abolished." Zhao Tingting took the notebook and began to write.
Fang's mother was stunned. How could this be possible?
Fang's mother swallowed and said, "No, you didn't write anything. Can you stop pretending?"
"Please answer my questions seriously, or I will go to your husband's workplace to persuade him.
How can one work well if the family is not harmonious? Only those with harmonious families can work hard.
I think there are a few other people who are quite suitable for the director position, so why don't I go and do some research?" Zhao Tingting continued to write something on a blank piece of paper.
"No, everyone has their own responsibility. Don't bother with my man's business. Don't go to his workplace to look for him. Our family is relying on him to earn money to support the family.
If he loses his job, our whole family will be left with nothing.
Our family has people from the one-year-old baby to me, an old, weak and disabled person, and we also have a mentally unstable daughter-in-law.
If we lose our income, won’t our whole family be unable to survive? Woo woo woo!!”
"Don't lie about military intelligence here. Your family still has your son who can earn money. As far as I know, your daughter-in-law also has a job." Zhao Tingting said.
"Don't even mention my son. He's useless. The money he earns is not enough for the young couple to spend. I raised my eldest grandson with great effort.
As for my daughter-in-law, there's no need to say more. With her job, I would be laughing secretly if she didn't take money from home to pay for it.
If any household has any difficulties, the first thing they do is go to the street office and donate money and materials. That way, they will know how much of their salary will be left.
There are also major disasters in various places. Don’t we also have to do our part?
"I'm not saying we can't donate, it's what we should do. My main point is that my wife is also a spendthrift, so the burden of supporting the family still depends on my husband." Fang's mother cried.
"Ms. Fang, it seems you have a huge misunderstanding about our job. Are we just responsible for mediating conflicts?
As for other matters, there are dedicated people responsible. The donations of money and materials you mentioned don't exist at all," said Zhao Tingting.
"Oh, I see. Even so, my prodigal daughter-in-law. This little money is not enough for her."
Every day she has new clothes, new jewelry, and different cosmetics.
He goes out to eat every now and then and never takes me with him.
So, do you think she can save money? Of course not. She still has to ask for money from her family." Fang's mother looked at Zhao Tingting resentfully and complained.
"She went to a restaurant without me."
"Sister Fang, we are talking about you suppressing your daughter-in-law. Don't change the subject." Zhao Tingting knocked on the notebook and said seriously.
"Suppressed her? I didn't! You don't know, she is very fierce, I can't beat her at all, so how could I suppress her!" Fang's mother shook her head and denied it.
"You attacked her verbally," said Zhao Tingting.
"Will you do anything if she attacks me with violence?" asked Fang's mother.
"Okay, since you can't communicate, I decided to go find the other parties involved to understand the situation. I heard that your husband and son were also at the scene.
I'll go talk to them first and then come back to you!" Zhao Tingting closed the notebook and prepared to go out.
