Chapter 31 Career Points
Everyone in the Zhou family is here, discussing this matter.
Being in the newspaper is a big deal for them.
Even the children in the family feel very proud.
Zhou Xian, who was surrounded by his family, didn't expect them to be so enthusiastic.
"It's nothing, actually." Although I knew my family would be excited, I didn't expect them to be so excited.
"That's nothing, little sister. You are really too modest." said sister-in-law Hu Lanhua.
"That's right, you have brought honor to our family. If you go out now, everyone will ask you about this." said the second sister-in-law Wu Xiufang.
Third sister-in-law Wang Xuemei also said something rare, "It is indeed a good thing."
The family was still discussing it and decided to post the newspaper on the wall of the main room so that everyone who came could see it.
Ge Guifen disagreed, "This is the first copy sent by the newspaper. How can you put it on the wall? You have to keep it as a family heirloom. Old man, go back to the commune and buy another copy and put it on the wall."
"Your mother is right." Zhou Jiefang said.
While eating, Zhou Jiefang took his bowl and walked out, saying, "It's cool outside, I'll eat outside."
The three brothers of the Zhou family followed suit and went out with their bowls.
After Ge Guifen distributed the food, she also took her bowl and went out, saying, "I'm going to go outside to cool down, too."
Zhou Xian: “…” There’s no need, there’s really no need.
However, Zhou Xian couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.
When Zhou Jiefang went to the commune to buy newspapers, he also went to see Secretary He and told him that he wanted to apply for a radio station in the brigade.
However, Secretary He asked about another matter, "I heard that your daughter's article was published in the newspaper?"
"You know about this too?" Zhou Jiefang really didn't expect that Secretary He also knew about this.
"Yes, I have heard of it. After all, the name of our commune was mentioned."
Zhou Jiefang said a few words and brought up the matter of establishing a radio station.
Secretary He was in a good mood at the moment, and when he heard Zhou Jiefang say that establishing a radio station was also to respond to policies and for the good of the people, he agreed immediately.
When Zhou Jiefang came out of the commune, the gatekeeper greeted him warmly and praised his daughter.
Zhou Jiefang thought to himself that his daughter was quite popular.
He bought the newspaper and planned to buy some meat, but to his surprise, it was out of stock.
Well, his luck is not as good as his daughter's.
When I was about to ride my bike back, I heard the sound of gongs and drums. I turned around and saw that the person leading the group was Director Ji of the Women's Federation of the commune, and the former director of the Women's Federation of their Taohua Brigade, now Secretary Chen.
Behind them there was a man with a sign on his chest, being escorted by two militiamen. Zhou Jiefang looked forward, wanting to know what crime this man had committed. When he got closer, he found out that this man was a typical case picked out by the Women's Federation from a production brigade. He was being paraded through the streets and would be sent to a labor camp soon.
After the people walked away from him, Zhou Jiefang immediately rode his bicycle back to the team.
This method is similar to the one used by his daughter. I heard that this man beat two wives to death. He has a violent tendency. When he was arrested, he was still beating his current wife while drunk. Poor woman, she was beaten to half her life.
When Zhou Jiefang returned to the team, the members were all discussing this matter.
Director Ji made quite a fuss, and went to each brigade to publicize the arrests. After the arrests, he continued to explain the circumstances of the arrested people while rushing to the next brigade to continue the propaganda.
There were also some emotional members who followed him with pebbles and threw them at him, calling him a good-for-nothing.
The Taohua Brigade also followed suit to watch the fun. After seeing this, the men who beat their wives all quietly hid away. After all, Director Ji and the others had said that if such a situation occurred in the brigade, they should report it to the Women's Federation of the commune.
Director Ji also wanted to create a deterrent effect, so it was naturally impossible to omit the Taohua Brigade. She and Officer Chen took turns making speeches, determined to deter those who persecuted female comrades.
After everyone left, one member couldn't help but say, "Aunt Chunhua, you and Sister Ma are lucky. Fortunately, Director Zhou showed mercy to you, otherwise you would have been arrested today. I heard from the director of the Women's Federation that you would be sent directly to the labor camp for reform."
Liu Chunhua turned around and met Ma Erya's eyes. After their eyes met, they immediately looked away. He looked at his daughter-in-law again and breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, she realized her mistake and corrected it, otherwise she might have been the one caught.
The director of the Women's Federation of the commune said that if such a situation occurs, the members should actively report it and they will come and arrest the person immediately.
At the same time, the system is also broadcasting.
[Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the side quest, and be rewarded with 100 career points. 】
【Reward career points 100】
【Reward career points 100】
…
"System, are you stuck?" Zhou Xian asked when he saw the system kept repeating the message.
"No, host. I detected that Liu Chunhua's mentality has changed, and your method has invisibly saved some persecuted people. These are your career points, a total of 600 career points."
Zhou Xian opened the system panel and took a look.
Business points: 601
The progress bar below also moved slightly.
Yes, I can buy a lot of things.
This wave indeed shocked many people, especially Liu Chunhua.
Even the members of the brigade sighed that if Zhou Xian had not taken action first, Liu Chunhua would have been the role model in their brigade.
As for Ma Erya, she was lucky. After all, she committed the crime early and her attitude of admitting her mistakes was more sincere than Liu Chunhua's.
Especially after the family split up, people became much more friendly.
Even Liu Chunhua herself was glad that she was only in the brigade at the time and that being locked up in a small dark room for a few days to receive ideological education was a good thing.
It would be too miserable if they were really tied up and paraded through the streets and then sent to labor camp.
Now Liu Chunhua was really obedient. When she saw her daughter-in-law Qian Xique, she took the initiative to walk over to her.
"Magpie, you must be tired of holding the baby, how about mom do it for you?"
Qian Xique did not agree. She accepted her mother-in-law's transformation, but that did not mean she forgave her.
Besides, the girl is still afraid of her, so how could she let her hug her?
So Qian Xique refused Liu Chunhua and did not allow her to hold the child.
Liu Chunhua didn't care that she didn't get the good reputation from her daughter-in-law. She had already made up her mind to make a complete change. She wanted to be a kind and gentle mother-in-law in the future.
In order to show his determination, he even made a special trip to the supply and marketing cooperative to weigh out some fruit candies for his granddaughter.
After returning from the commune, Liu Chunhua also went to see the excitement there.
After Director Ji did this, those women comrades who had been oppressed saw hope, so more and more women comrades went to the commune Women's Federation to file complaints.
It's very busy in front of the Women's Federation of the commune now.
As long as there is a report and the situation is serious, the Women's Federation will definitely arrest people.
She also leaned over to take a look. Among those who had been arrested before, some were beaten by their own husbands. She didn't know if it was because of pressure from their in-laws, but some of them even ran to the Women's Federation to beg for their release.
Of course Director Ji cannot let him go. The purpose of arresting a typical example is to intimidate those people. If he is arrested and then released by someone who pleads for mercy, as long as this precedent is set and others follow suit, how can they carry out their work as the Women's Federation?
When faced with the women who came to plead for mercy, Director Ji asked, "Did you want to plead for the man yourself, or did your in-laws force you to do so?"
If it were his own idea, Director Ji would have to do some ideological work on this female comrade.
After being beaten, she still asks the person who beat her for mercy. This is definitely oppression and she has already developed the mentality of a slave.
Now it is a new society and we have been liberated. We must let her receive education in new ideas.
If it is forced by the husband's family, it will be easier to deal with.
The Chairman has said that women hold up half the sky. That family has been arrested as an example, but they have not changed their old ideas. It seems that we have not arrested enough people. If it really doesn't work, we should send the whole family to reform. When they know that they cannot engage in class rule and abandon their old ideas, we will release them.
After Director Ji spoke, the women comrades who came to plead for mercy suddenly fell silent.
After all, who wants to be beaten?
Who doesn't want to live a good life?
I had come to the Women's Federation many times to ask for help in mediation, but it was of no effect. Now that he was completely controlled, I actually came here to beg for mercy. I am really stupid.
Some people figured it out and left without saying anything more.
Of course there are also very individual examples.
For example, a female comrade directly said, "My husband beat me, but that's a family matter. He didn't beat me that hard."
Director Ji glanced at the woman who was speaking, and for a moment he wanted to pry open her head to see what was in her mind.
Those who could be caught as typical examples were naturally those they had known about.
This woman gave birth to two children. According to what they learned, she had been pregnant several times, but all the pregnancies were aborted by the man in her family.
There were several times when my arms and legs were broken, and they haven't fully healed yet, so I walk with a limp.
It is impossible to release Director Ji.
Director Ji was so angry that he laughed, and said, "Since you said so, how about sending you to the farm to be reformed together with your man?"
With this kind of thinking, one must definitely receive education.
Director Ji would definitely not accept that someone who couldn't even stand up for himself wanted to sabotage the work of the Women's Federation.
Accompanying her in labor reform was a token of his love, and since she insisted on going, Director Ji had no choice but to agree to her wish.
The woman shrank back, but didn't dare to say that she wanted to go to the labor camp with him. Faced with Director Ji's strong attitude, I had no choice but to go back unwillingly.
Of course, facing the women comrades who came to the Women's Federation, Director Ji asked Secretary Chen and Secretary Li to be responsible for registering their respective situations, and they would handle it when the time comes.
Secretary Chen is very energetic.
Secretary Li was somewhat reluctant, "Everything was fine at first, but in the end they had to listen to that Amaranth Zhou and cause so many problems for our Women's Federation."
Director Ji looked at her and said, "What our Women's Federation does is to protect women comrades. If you are not happy with it, Director Li, you can just transfer away."
Secretary Li was not from their department before. Her previous department was too busy, so she found Secretary He and transferred her here.
As a result, the Women's Federation is now busy, and she complains that there are too many things to do.
It's a rare opportunity that the Women's Federation has managed to get things done this time, and Director Ji doesn't want to be held back like this.
After hearing what Director Ji said, Secretary Li suddenly stopped talking.
Director Ji also noticed that she was unconvinced, and he thought of Comrade Xiao Zhou from Taohua Production Team. What a capable girl that was.
This article was even published in the newspaper.
Thinking of this, Director Ji went to the Taohua Brigade in person.
