At Wang Langtou's house, the lights were bright, and the director of the Women's Rescue Society, Xiang Xiang, was organizing a meeting for several key members. Xiang Xiang's wife sat at the door with a stool and used the light to do needlework, which could save some money on lamp oil.
Wang Langtou went to the Wang family ancestral hall. In the evening, the military workers team and the militia company made black powder and land mines. Wang Langtou also went to help;
It is said that he will have to dig tunnels in the future. He is good at this and nothing else. He just has a lot of strength.
"Aunts, ladies, sisters, Battalion Commander Gao said, we women will hold up half of the sky from now on!
Now the Women's Rescue Society has been established, but our work is not obvious yet. It has been a few days, and more than half of the women in the village have not joined the Women's Rescue Society. How can this be done?
I heard those old Eighth Route Army say that even the old ladies in their base areas have joined the Women’s Rescue Association, and the Women’s Rescue Association has the final say on women’s affairs!
They not only prepare military supplies such as military shoes and rations for the troops, but also take care of the sick and wounded, publicize the policy of rent reduction and interest reduction, mobilize the men in the family to join the army to fight the Japanese, etc.
We are now the backbone of the Women's Rescue Association, and we often go to other people's homes to persuade them to join the Women's Rescue Association!
We women must unite in the future to fight for the rights of women in the whole village. Men can no longer beat women..."
"Vanilla, did the Eighth Route Army say that men can no longer hit women?"
Laifu's wife asked in a low voice, her voice as thin as a mosquito's cry.
"Sister-in-law Laifu, what's wrong? Brother Laifu beat you again? He is still the squad leader of the militia company. I will tell Battalion Commander Gao tomorrow to remove his squad leader first, and then hold a group meeting to criticize him."
When Laifu's wife heard that she wanted to remove her man's official position and fight with him, she was a little reluctant. Although Laifu sometimes beat her, he was usually okay with her. It was Laifu's wife who picked the middle. What's the saying, "If a woman doesn't fight for three days, she will go to the house to uncover the tiles". Since ancient times, good women have been beaten, etc.
Laifu, this tough guy, just listened to her mother and almost knocked her out the night before.
Vanilla knew the expression on Mrs. Fu's face as soon as she saw it, and said angrily:
"This Wang Laifu has become a militia squad leader and still has such backward thinking. I have to take care of this matter and get rid of his wife-beating habit!"
"Hmph!"
The vanilla girl who was sitting on the threshold doing needlework couldn't stand listening to it anymore. It was too shameful for this damn girl to take care of other people's housework.
"Haumotou family, what are you humming about? If you have anything to say, just say it. Didn't you see that this is a meeting of the Women's Rescue Association?"
Vanilla Mother was so angry that she really wanted to slap her in the face. This damn girl has become a director of the Women’s Rescue Society. She is so lucky that Mother didn’t even call her, calling her the Hammer family. When her father comes back, she must let her father take good care of her. You cannot discipline with a hammer.
Of course, this is just a thought. In front of outsiders, she still has to maintain the prestige of the director of the Women's Rescue Society. No one in the eight generations of Lao Wang's family has been an official!
"What a pity, it's just a girl!"
Vanilla Lady sighed secretly and said:
"Director Wang, other people's men beat their wives. This has been happening for generations. Can you just ignore it and just get on with business?"
When I heard the vanilla, I stopped drying it immediately. This idea is so backward!
"Mom! What you said means that you also want my father to hold you down and beat you up?"
Vanilla Lady was so powerful that she said:
"How dare he? If he wants to beat me up, I'll lift the roof off for him. He can!"
"Ha ha ha ha……"
"Hee hee hee……"
All the girls and wives in the room couldn't help laughing. Uncle Hammer is indeed a mother-in-law!
"Mom, look, my father hasn't even beaten you yet, and you're about to tear down the house. Why do you let my sister-in-law, Laifu, endure it?"
Vanilla Lady stopped interrupting after she realized her mistake and continued to humiliate her, while the Women's Rescue Association continued to hold their meetings, discussing how to find out Laifu's habit of hitting women, and Laifu's wife did not object anymore.
She also wanted to be like Vanilla Girl one day, putting her hands on her waist and saying to Laifu:
"Laifu, try hitting me again. If I hit you again, I won't let you go to the kang!"
After the Vanilla Girl's gag, the atmosphere in the house became lively. When it came to treating men, a group of women immediately became excited. You and I came up with ideas one by one. Who hasn't been slapped by a man at home these days?
In the past, everyone thought that this was a matter of course. Women have been men's accessories for generations. In their natal family, they could be called Erni, Sanya, Xiuer, Vanilla, etc., but when they married into a man's family, they would become Laifu's family or Laitou's family. He doesn't even deserve a name anymore.
"Xianghua, when you go through the door, do you really not want people to call you from the Fugui family?"
Laifu's wife asked jokingly.
Wang Xiangxiang raised her eyebrows and said domineeringly:
"He dares? I will always call you Wang Xiangxiang!"
Ladies and sisters, from now on we women will demand liberation and say no to men’s unreasonable demands. Let’s start with the matter of beating the mother-in-law and start voting now:
Raise your hands if you agree! "
Vanilla's mother also raised her hand out of habit. This time Vanilla didn't criticize her mother, and the crowd also had the right to express their opinions.
With the unanimous vote, the Women's Rescue Association's fight for women's legitimate rights and interests has been settled. The next step is to discuss mobilizing the man surnamed Zhang to join the militia.
In the first militia training, there were not many people named Zhang, not even Wang Xiangxiang's future husband Zhang Fugui, which was obviously not acceptable.
If one or two people don't come, they can still say that they are afraid of trouble. This is because the entire Zhang family is not coming, then someone must be stirring up trouble behind his back. It is difficult to find evidence for this kind of thing. After all, the Eighth Route Army also said that it is a voluntary principle and cannot be forced.
“Sisters, Wangcun belongs to everyone with the surname Wang and Zhang, and it is everyone’s responsibility to protect Wangcun!
Zhang Shijie's family must be up to something here. This is a smiling tiger, who keeps saying he supports the Eighth Route Army in front of Battalion Commander Gao, but is causing trouble behind his back!
Let’s start with the woman surnamed Zhang, and draw all the women into the Women’s Rescue Association. Zhang Shijie always doesn’t care about women’s affairs, and he doesn’t like a group of women getting together;
Our Women's Rescue Association is going to take advantage of his paralysis, step by step, first drag the women, and then use the women to drag their men into the militia company, isolating the Zhang family!
I, Wang Xiangxiang, will take the lead and pull Zhang Fugui into the militia company no matter what. "
After hearing this, the guy from Laifujia couldn't help but joke about vanilla:
"Vanilla, what if my brother Fugui just listens to his mother and doesn't come? I've heard that Fugui can listen to his mother."
"He dares. If Zhang Fugui doesn't join the militia company, then he won't even think about me getting through. I--"
"Huh-huh!"
Vanilla Lady started to cough again. The more she spoke, the more outrageous she became. There were so many people. If she continued to say this, she would become the laughing stock of the whole village. When the news reached the Zhang family, how could the old Wang family be so embarrassed!
"Mom, please stop humiliating me. I just want the whole village to know that I, Wang Xianghua, will never marry a coward!"
"My ancestor, could you please lower your voice?"
After the vanilla girl finished speaking, she told the others not to spread the word. The others also said they would not, but the rural woman's words should not be taken seriously.
The next day, Fugui Niang and Fugui found out!
"Wang Xiangxiang, is she going to change the world? Such a woman is unworthy. Fugui, I will give you a break from this marriage!"
"Mom, I only care about vanilla. If you dare to break off the engagement, I will never marry my mother-in-law!"
The rich lady was completely dumbfounded and said secretly:
"Old Zhang's family only has this one seedling, so how can we cut off the incense?"
