Chapter 186 Wang Shuo Becomes the Brigade Captain
In everyone's eyes, He Guangliang had nothing to do with the poisoning, but his wife and daughter were both murderers, which greatly damaged his reputation.
In addition, many people have begun to have opinions about his unfair handling of affairs.
Wang Shuo and Ji Xuening, in particular, both felt that he was unworthy to be the director of the Jinniu Brigade.
Wang Yuqing always felt that He Guangliang must have known about this, and that it must have been He Guangliang's idea to take the money and receipts to the Cao family.
Even when she mentioned the tractor wheel was broken, she always suspected He Guangliang.
The matter of poisoning Cao Hao with snails is considered closed. The perpetrator has been punished, but Wang Yuqing has also paid 500 yuan in compensation to the Cao family.
After all, they also bear some responsibility.
He Guangliang voluntarily resigned from his position as director of the Jinniu Brigade. He knew that the commune members had opinions about him, and that his wife and daughter had poisoned and killed someone, so many people said that he was not qualified to be the brigade director.
He was smart; rather than letting those above him remove his hat, he chose to take it off himself and still gain a good reputation.
He said that because of Hua Gui and He Ruhua's affair, he was too ashamed to continue serving as the brigade director.
This action truly earned everyone's admiration.
If he's not going to be the brigade director, then who will be? Originally, everyone, including the old Party Secretary, recommended Ji Xuening to be the brigade director and Wang Yuqing to be the brigade women's director, but Wang Yuqing refused. She felt it was bad luck to share a position with Hua Gui.
After thinking for a moment, Wang Yuqing recommended Chen E to be the brigade's women's director.
This made Chen E feel flattered! After all, the position of Women's Director was already a very high position for them, something they had never dared to dream of in their lives.
Wang Yuqing recommended Chen E to the women's director for a reason: according to the original owner's memories of Chen E, Chen E's future fate was to quarrel with Feng Chunxia and commit suicide in anger.
If Chen E were made the women's director, Feng Chunxia wouldn't look down on her for being a matchmaker. Instead, because of her position, she would look at her with more respect and admiration.
Chen E became the women's director, which conveniently allowed her to vacate her position as a member of the non-staple food team for Feng Chunxia. In this way, Feng Chunxia was able to join the non-staple food team as she wished and would be grateful to Chen E.
Wang Yuqing said to Chen E, "Aunt Chen, I'll teach you a trick. From now on, I guarantee your daughter-in-law will be obedient to you."
later.
Chen E deliberately went home and said to Feng Chunxia, "Yuqing, many people at the brigade headquarters recommended me to be the women's director. They all think I'm qualified for the position. But I think, what have I done to deserve this? So..."
After her initial surprise, Feng Chunxia quickly asked, "So what? You refused?"
Chen E nodded, appearing indifferent: "No way, why would I want to be the women's director? I don't care. What's so great about it? I'm a member of the non-staple food team now, which is much better. I earn more money and it's easier."
Feng Chunxia hurriedly said, "Mom, why did you refuse? She's the Women's Director! You don't know how prestigious Hua Gui was when she was the Women's Director!"
Feng Chunxia looked down on Chen E a little because someone from her family worked as a scorekeeper at the brigade headquarters.
Chen Zhong thought Chen E was bragging, and he scoffed: "How could they possibly make my mother the women's director? She wouldn't stand a chance!"
As a result, Wang Shuo and the old Party Secretary personally visited Chen E and, in front of Feng Chunxia and Chen Zhong, appointed her as the Women's Director of Jinniu Brigade. This move stunned Chen Zhong and Feng Chunxia, and they instantly began to look at Chen E with new respect.
Chen E deliberately refused in various tactful ways.
When Feng Chunxia heard how much Wang Shuo and the old Party Secretary valued Chen E, her gaze towards Chen E changed.
Finally, she couldn't help but speak up: "Mom, please agree to let me be the women's director."
After saying that, she nudged Chen Zhong with her arm, and Chen Zhong also began to persuade Chen E to agree.
Chen E said, "Well, since my daughter-in-law and son both want me to agree, then I agree."
She added, "But now that I've become the women's director, I can't keep cooking snails in the food processing team. So, I have a request regarding my position..."
Wang Shuo asked respectfully, "Aunt Chen, what are your requirements?"
Chen E suddenly grabbed Feng Chunxia's hand: "My request is that now that I've become the women's director, my position in the non-staple food team will be vacant. I hope my daughter-in-law can fill that position."
Feng Chunxia was shocked upon hearing this.
She stared blankly at Chen E, who was holding her hand, and for some reason, she felt a little touched and even a little bit of admiration.
Wang Shuo felt a little embarrassed, thinking that this was like using connections.
Chen E suddenly became unhappy: "If you don't agree, then I won't be the women's director."
Upon hearing this, Feng Chunxia quickly pulled Chen E aside: "Mom, it's okay. I can give up joining the non-staple food team, but you can't give up being the women's director because of me."
Chen E patted Feng Chunxia's hand: "You are my daughter-in-law, so of course I have to consider your needs. If they didn't disagree, I wouldn't be the women's director. Let them go find someone else."
Feng Chunxia's eyes reddened with emotion.
Chen Zhong was dumbfounded.
Wang Shuo deliberately told the old Party Secretary that he wanted to discuss it, and in the end, Wang Shuo said, "The old Party Secretary and I both agree."
From then on, Feng Chunxia not only felt grateful to Chen E, but also showed her special respect. The two had previously had a strained relationship due to their respective personalities, but now, through this incident, they both knew how to compromise and consider each other's feelings.
Feng Chunxia was also particularly filial to Chen E, because in her heart, her place was given to her by Chen E.
Chen Zhong listened to his wife. Since his wife was filial to Chen E, he was naturally filial to Chen E as well. Moreover, he used to dislike Chen E because she always controlled him and liked to act as a matchmaker. But now he didn't dislike her at all. He even thought his mother was very capable!
Ji Xuening didn't want to be a brigade director; he felt that being a militia company commander was already a good job.
at last.
Wang Shuo volunteered: "I think I can do it."
He asked everyone, "Do you think I'm up to the task?"
Firstly, he couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to make all the members of the Golden Bull Brigade rich. Secondly, he wanted to vent his anger, since He Guangliang had humiliated him before.
Everyone initially thought that Wang Shuo was from another brigade, was also an instructor, and had connections, so they didn't recommend him for the position of brigade director. But when he volunteered, everyone was naturally happy to accept.
Because they all knew that although Wang Shuo had a bit of a temper, he was honest, fair and just.
The old Party Secretary took a puff of his cigarette, thought for a moment, and nodded: "I also think it's feasible."
And so, the old Party Secretary took Wang Shuo to the commune, where Wang Shuo delivered an inspiring speech on patriotism and love for the people in front of the leaders.
The leaders beamed with joy and nodded: "Okay, from now on, Comrade Wang Shuo will be the new brigade director of the Jinniu Brigade."
Wang Shuo disliked the title "Brigade Director". He said, "Just call us the same as how we call our brigade, Brigade Captain. Don't use any 'Director' or anything like that. I like the title 'Captain'."
Wang Shuo couldn't wait to take office, so he rushed home to get his household registration.
Wang's mother was chatting with Zhu Xiaohua at home, eating melon seeds and peanuts, with various exquisite pastries beside her.
Wang Shuo was puzzled. How come she wasn't kicked out after he said those things last time? Was he really that outstanding and charming?
Wang Shuo ignored Zhu Xiaohua.
Zhu Xiaohua didn't care, since she was only interested in Wang Shuo's family background.
