“The steel mill is full of rough men. Your daughter is a woman, after all, and she can’t endure the hardships of the steel mill. Come to our textile factory, where most of the workers are women, and you can even live in the dormitory.”
When his gaze fell on the little girl who was clinging tightly to Zhao Chunhua's leg, Director Ma showed a rare moment of thoughtfulness.
"If you feel it's inconvenient to bring your child to a dormitory, I can approve a single room for you."
Anyway, there are also husband-and-wife teams in the textile factory, and there are many dormitory rooms for couples. You can just find an empty room and move in immediately. It's very convenient.
Factory Director Niu of the steel plant raised an eyebrow, finding it rare to see his arch-enemy use his brain.
He didn't fight with his arch-rival for the child; after all, Zhao Youcai had plenty of children, so it didn't matter who got the child.
Even if Zhao Youcai didn't want his family members to work in the factory, he could give the job quota to someone else as a favor.
In any case, all the work quotas that flowed out of Zhao Youcai's hands were given to Zhao Youcai for processing.
The village head and Sun Tiezhu's family, who overheard the conversation, were stunned.
Who's the kind person who'd be scrambling to give away job openings?
Zhao Youcai was also surprised that before Sun Tiezhu's matter was resolved, the two factory directors almost got into a fight again at his doorstep.
But the effect was even better than he had expected. Zhao Youcai was extremely pleased to see Sun Tiezhu's mother's crestfallen face.
"You can talk about your private matters later. We've come to handle a dispute because someone filed a police report."
As expected of a seasoned veteran in handling cases, Captain Qi steered the conversation back on track with just one sentence.
His sharp, eagle-like eyes were fixed on the village head of Sunjia Village.
"You're a village official, how come you're leading the trouble? Do you want to get a new brigade leader for your Sunjia Village, or do you want your commune leaders to get a scolding at the next general meeting?"
The criticism and struggle sessions of that era were quite serious.
Once someone is labeled as bullying honest villagers, their official career is over, and they can forget about ever turning things around.
They might even be searched; those people in the Revolutionary Committee aren't pushovers.
They were worried about not having any outstanding achievements; catching educated youth doing something wrong was nowhere near as meritorious as this.
The village head of Sunjia Village turned pale instantly, and his knees buckled with fear.
If there weren't so many people here, even the village head of Sunjia Village would have to kneel down.
Just because he can handle it doesn't mean others can.
Without saying a word, Sun Tiezhu grabbed his mother's arm and slammed her to the ground.
“Mom, everything today is your fault. I’ve been telling you to stop causing trouble at home, but you wouldn’t listen. Now look what’s happened, you’ve almost driven my wife away, and you’ve even dragged the brigade leader down with you.”
Wang Guilan's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. She never expected that her beloved eldest son, whom she had cherished for so many years, would be so ruthless and decisive in selling his mother.
What do you mean by saying it's all her fault?
If it weren't for this rebellious son, would she have ended up like this?
Now she's caught in the middle, unable to express her grievances.
So, this pretty young woman was caught in the middle between her daughter-in-law and son, becoming a pitiful person who didn't know what to do.
Sun Tiezhu completely ignored his mother's disgusted expression and looked at Zhao Chunhua with what he thought was deep affection.
"Chunhua, it was all my fault before. I always told you to put up with my mother's temper, and I mistreated you and the child. I know I was wrong. Let's go home and live a good life together. I promise I'll never listen to my mother again, okay?"
Zhao Youcai wanted to kick him a few times when he heard these words, not to mention his hot-blooded sons.
Anyone with eyes can see that this guy isn't regretting it at all; he's just scared because he saw the police arrive and is afraid of being arrested!
It's too lenient for this kind of person to just get arrested; he should be beaten so badly that even his own mother wouldn't recognize him.
If Captain Qi hadn't cleared his throat at the right moment to remind them not to fight, they would definitely have beaten the other side so badly that their teeth and hair would be flying everywhere.
"Chunhua, please give me another chance, okay? I promise I'll change and won't be like I was before. If we really get divorced, and the children have a stepfather, their lives will definitely be difficult."
Sure enough, seeing Zhao Chunhua in a daze, Sun Tiezhu thought his words had moved her and hurriedly said...
Clearly, this guy wanted to strike while the iron was hot, using a combination of coaxing and intimidation to show his determination.
But no one expected that the usually timid Zhao Chunhua would actually say—
"Even your stepfather is better than you! You and your mother have never treated us four daughters like human beings from beginning to end. From now on, we four daughters will not rely on anyone!"
Zhao Chunhua has completely given up on marriage. If she could, she would rather raise her three daughters on her own.
Although my younger brothers told me to stay home without worry.
But she was still worried that she didn't know anything and that staying in the village would be a burden on her family.
Although she was once a member of this family, this place is no longer her home.
It's fine for her to stay at her parents' house for a short time; her younger siblings will treat her politely and like a guest.
But what if time passes?
With so many mouths to feed inexplicably in the house, the complaints are only going to grow.
The daughters already suffer a lot in their own home. If they have to live with her and be dependent on others, living a life of having to be subservient to others from childhood, what kind of personality will they have when they grow up?
As a mother, you always have to think about your children's future. It doesn't matter if you suffer a little or get tired, but your children cannot be affected.
She didn't know what to do in the future, but when she heard that the two factory managers had given her father job opportunities, her eyes suddenly lit up again.
Maybe... I'll have the chance to work in a factory too?
At this point, she placed all her hopes on her father, Zhao Youcai. Whether or not she could get a job at the factory was entirely up to her father's word.
If she has a proper job and is frugal, she can still support her children.
She didn't care whether it was a steel mill or a textile factory.
Sun Tiezhu's teeth were practically grinding to powder.
How come I never noticed before that Zhao Chunhua, this pushover, is so difficult to talk to?
If it were Zhao Chunhua before yesterday, when would Sun Tiezhu have needed to beg her like this?
With just one glance, Zhao Chunhua was so frightened that she trembled all over and had to kneel down and beg for mercy, pleading with him not to hit the children.
At this moment, Sun Tiezhu was filled with hatred, hating his mother for being so unreasonable.
They go out every day gossiping about this family and that family, visiting one house after another, going from the village entrance to the fields, and they don't even know that the Zhao family came to the village to sell cloth.
If they had known earlier that Zhao Chunhua's family would bring so many gifts, and had prepared in advance to keep the beating of Zhao Chunhua a secret, would things have escalated to this point?
She's just an ignorant old lady; all she can do is hold him back.
No wonder Grandpa insisted on leaving the oil worker job to his cousin Zhao Tiegang until his death, refusing to give it to his eldest grandson.
It's definitely not the fault of his eldest grandson; it's just that his mother is disliked, which leads to his grandfather disliking his eldest grandson as well.
An idea suddenly popped into Sun Tiezhu's mind.
