Chapter 324: Forgot to introduce myself
Yu Shirley glanced at them and directly helped Aunt Qian and the two children walk home. Seeing her like this, Yu's parents, brother and sister-in-law were so angry that they went up to argue.
"Your parents, I, and your sister-in-law have all apologized to you. What else do you want? If we hadn't severed our relationship with you, not only would we not be able to hold our heads up in the brigade, but your nephews and nieces would also be criticized. They are still so young, can you bear it? It's been so many years, and your parents have come to see you, but you are not motivated enough. You have become a leper woman in Xu Laizi's family. If we get involved, how will our family be able to survive? Now you have managed to survive, and my brothers and I don't have to work anymore. We can earn wages. Can't you let go of those things and look forward?"
"Let it go? Why should I let it go? You were not the one who was beaten and scolded, nor were you the one who was abandoned and ignored. Why didn't you come out to help me when I was suffering? Now that you see that I am living a good life, you suddenly jump out. Who are you? We have already signed the divorce agreement. Why do you jump out and dictate my life? What do you want?"
Yu Shirley suddenly exploded. If it was someone else, she might be able to remain calm, but the person who spoke was her eldest brother. In the past, her eldest brother was good to her. He was considered to be the better person in the family. Before she married Xu Laizi, she sought his help.
She thought that helping to write a letter of introduction or she would go begging, which would be much better than getting married.
As a result, before she could go back to stay, he called the whole family to see her. She would never forget how she cried and begged in the room alone on the night before her wedding, and how indifferent they were.
Qian Chengwang saw Yu Shirley was so sad, and he felt so distressed. Since he knew her, she had always been a strong, independent, and positive woman. He had never seen her so sad.
"That's enough. Shirley said that you have already signed the severance agreement, so legally you are no longer related. She will be a member of my Qian family when she gets married next month, and her household registration will be in my Qian family. It has nothing to do with you. If you come to harass her again, I will report her to the police."
"You, who are you? You also said that you would get married next month. As long as I, an old man, don't agree, you can't get married. Humph, she is a divorced woman now, she should go back to her parents' home. I don't recognize the severance agreement. I just think she is my daughter-in-law. You, young man, didn't even give the betrothal gift to the right place, and you still want to marry my daughter-in-law. I tell you, this marriage will not be successful today, you can go back!"
"You old fool, you're out of breath when I say you're fat, right? And you want us mother and I to leave? Go ahead
and talk nonsense. Shirley is just lucky to have a few good girlfriends. If she were still the same as before, would you guys from the Yu family come to visit her?" When the people from the Yu family heard her say this, they didn't say a word, as if they didn't take them seriously at all.
"Why haven't we finished yet? It's time for dinner. I've already prepared the meal and brought it to the main hall. Mingyang and the others should come over to eat soon."
Yu Shirley wiped her tears, turned her head and looked at Shen Meng and said, "I'll be right back."
Xie Jing was fine. Lu Jiasheng looked at this group of people and rolled his eyes. Yu Shirley supported Aunt Qian and Qian Chengwang and they all stepped over the threshold. Just when Shen Meng was about to close the door, Yu's mother suddenly stepped forward and grabbed the door.
"Yu Shirley, if you are still my daughter, you have to agree to what we said today. Otherwise, I will hang myself in front of you and let the leaders of the county see that you are a woman who forced your own mother to death. What good can you have left?"
As soon as she finished speaking, everyone in the yard had a dark face.
"Hey, old lady, what are you talking about? Today is your Shirley's big day. It's really unlucky for you to say this. Well, tell me what you want. I'll see if it's too much. If it's possible, maybe it can really work."
Yu's mother looked at the man in front of her. His temperament was different from the people in the yard. At the same time, she felt that her request was not excessive at all, so she said it again.
Shen Meng nodded and said, "The brick kiln in Lujiazhuang is indeed about to open, and it really needs talents. Shirley, you too, if your brother has this ability, it's not impossible for you to be a manager in the brick kiln. These are all our people, there's no need to make a fuss."
When the people in the Yu family heard that this person was persuading Yu Shirley, their expressions became a little better, and Yu's father also walked to the door.
"Yes, what you said is right, my daughter. They are all family members. We just need to say a few good words to the Secretary-General of the Revolutionary Committee. If there is anything, we are all relatives. People who can help will definitely lend a hand."
"Yes, yes, then what are the names of Shirley's brothers you mentioned? Tell me."
"Yu Guang, Yu Nian and Yu Xin, three brothers, are all strong laborers in our family. They get full work points every day. My daughter, you also know the Secretary-General of the Revolutionary Committee, right? Haha, it's not that our children don't want to do heavy work, but people always want to move up, so why not try our best to take two steps forward!"
Shen Meng smiled and said, "Yes, you are right, but please forgive me for being so rude. "Master, what is the education level of your sons? Can they read, do accounting, record and write reports? If they can, I can directly decide that they can be managers in Lujiazhuang."
The people of the Yu family blushed when they heard Shen Meng say this. If they had this ability, why would they need their help? They would just apply directly and would they have to go through the back door?
"It looks like it won't happen. That won't work. The brick kiln in Lujiazhuang is currently the focus of all Ningxian leaders. No one is allowed to use backdoors to build relationships. Once discovered, the whole commune will report and criticize, and you will not be allowed to work for a month to earn work points. Do you understand?"
"That's for outsiders to hear. Behind closed doors, you can do whatever you want. As long as the leader is willing, things can be done. It depends on whether this damn girl is willing."
Everyone looked at Shen Meng. Who would have thought that the big celebrity in Ningxian, the top economic figure, would actually help his good sister go to the kitchen to cook, just to celebrate her engagement.
Most people can't imagine it, and the people of the Yu family can't imagine it even more.
But the people in Lujia Village were used to it. Some old men and women who were slow on their feet suddenly turned around and looked at them like idiots.
There was nothing they could do. It was hard to persuade a ghost who was courting death. They had told them to leave several times, but they just wouldn't leave.
"I'm sorry. I haven't introduced myself properly after talking for such a long time. My name is Shen Meng. I'm Shirley's good friend and now the Secretary-General of the Ning County Revolutionary Committee. Today she is getting engaged. I specially took a day off to come and help her cook for some joy. I didn't expect to see so many big dramas one after another. I remember them all in my mind. I just joined the brick kiln factory, so I must cherish it. The monthly salary is 18.5 yuan. If you think this job is not good, then let others do it. Ning County has the most people. What do you think?"
