Except for Xu Yin and the director of the second factory, no one here knew Xu's mother. They had no idea that the "unfilial daughter who was not filial to her parents and did not respect her brothers" was the protagonist they had just praised. After hearing this, they couldn't help but get angry. Filled with indignation he said:
"There is such an employee in our factory? Sister, please tell me slowly, which department and position does he belong to?"
"Yes! The secretary and other leaders of our main factory are here today. Sister, please feel free and speak boldly. The leaders will definitely make the decision for you."
Xu Yin smiled self-deprecatingly. Amid everyone's surprised gazes, she slowly walked up to Xu's mother and said word by word:
"Mom, when my second brother had no money to get a wife, you wanted to marry me and use my bride price to give your second brother to get married. I didn't want to, so you said I would find a way to raise the money. Then I asked my colleagues to borrow it and asked for an advance. I tried every means to borrow 100 yuan for my family to solve this problem. Mother, why didn’t you mention this matter?"
Everyone's eyes widened and their jaws almost dropped in shock: What? Comrade Xiao Xu is the unfilial daughter this woman talks about?
Seeing the fourth child open his mouth, Xu's mother exposed the fact that the family had loaned money to the second child for their marriage. She felt ashamed for a moment: "Fourth child, you..."
"I am paying off the debt of one hundred yuan. So I told my family that no matter what kind of partner I find or how much gift the other party gives me in the future, my family will never interfere with me. You and dad agreed to this at the beginning. , now why do you say that I am unfilial to my parents and disrespect my brother? If I am unfilial, I will go out of my way to help my family borrow money to pay off debts? I am disrespectful of my brother, so I will ignore him? Who cares if he can come up with a set of thirty-six-legged furniture, marry Can you get a wife without marrying me?"
Xu's mother was aroused by the fourth child's calm tone, and said angrily: "You still said! Yes, yes! You took a hundred yuan from home to solve our family's urgent need, but just for that one hundred yuan, You stopped turning in your wages, and you said you wanted to make your own decisions about your marriage, which your family had no control over. Even your brother didn’t come home to help when he was getting married on National Day. Your sisters have been busy at home for half a month, but you put this aside. Being lazy..."
"Being lazy? What are you talking about!"
At first, Director Qi felt that this was a family matter and he couldn't interrupt. But after hearing what Xu's mother said, he really couldn't listen anymore and corrected him with a straight face:
"Xiao Xu is recognized as the most diligent and capable comrade in our field. Wherever there is a need, she is there. If you say that others are lazy, I will still believe it. If you say that Xiao Xu is lazy, no one in our field will believe it. In the past half month , I will tell you what she has done: she planted three hundred walnut trees, raised sixty chickens, rescued seven pigs, built fences, built chicken sheds, and planned a vineyard... Finally, It was the task I gave her two days ago - these two blackboard reports. She seemed to want to say something to me at that time, but I had something urgent to say and left in a hurry without hearing it. Maybe she wanted to ask for leave from me, This child is really honest. If you have something to do at home, just tell your colleagues and go home. Put aside the blackboard report. Our venue has never won an award in the past years. With her here this year, it is rare to win an award, but it is a sacrifice. I feel bad about losing her rest time..."
"..."
Xu's mother was dumbfounded.
The fourth child is diligent? Is this wrong? The fourth child is the least diligent one in the family.
She is the mother of the fourth child, and the fourth child came out of her belly. Would she not know the virtues of the fourth child?
If the word "diligence" refers to Laosi's mouth, it is possible that she is a picker of people and is very good at everything. But to say that she is diligent... Xu's mother would not believe it even to death.
"Then what, leader, are you making a mistake..."
"What's wrong? Am I blind? Am I blind? Or are all our employees blind?"
Director Qi looked unhappy:
"Hey, how did you become a mother? Don't you know how hardworking and capable your daughter is? It's better not to see her and deliberately destroy her reputation? How funny! Oh, talking about the one hundred yuan thing, I know One thing, Comrade Xiao Xu had only been here for half a month. She said she needed money urgently for something at home. She asked her colleagues if the money she borrowed was not enough, so she came to me to approve a note and advance her salary. In the past few months, her salary was only ten Five or seven yuan is used to repay the advance. She borrowed money to pay off debts for the family. You are a good mother, but you want to deduct her salary and spend it on the family. Are you so cruel? Catch her as a daughter to harvest wool! Why don't you find other sons and daughters to pick her up? Seeing that she is honest and responsible, she is easy to bully, right?"
"..."
Xu's mother opened her mouth, but Field Director Qi was so angry that she couldn't say anything.
After listening to Director Qi's explanation, the leaders present looked at Xu's mother with disdain in their eyes.
Preferring sons over daughters is normal in this era. If they have sons and daughters, their hearts will be slightly biased towards their sons. But this is the first time I have seen someone who favors sons over daughters, uses the daughter's bride price to support his son, and then rakes away the money.
Even the director of the second factory was confused at this moment: Xu Yin is so hardworking and uncomplaining? In order to raise money for her brother's wedding, she did not hesitate to ask colleagues to borrow money in her own name, and asked the company to advance her salary. Afterwards, she worked actively in the company, was hard-working, and was popular... Why is she not like Xu Yin before?
Could it be that the bad reputation she had in the second factory in the past was just like today, deliberately blamed by her mother, her brothers and sisters, and the colleagues in the factory office who crowded around her?
hiss!
The more the director of the second factory thought about it, the more he thought it was possible. Xiao Liu, Xiao Zhu, and Xiao Hu from the factory had to eat and go to the toilet together. It was entirely possible that the three of them wanted to jointly run against Xiao Xu...
Thinking of this, the director of the second factory felt extremely guilty. He had committed a sin by driving away such a good comrade!
After that, the director of the second factory secretly observed the female comrades in the factory office.
No matter what they do, he must analyze their intentions to avoid another "tragedy" in which outstanding comrades are "joined to run" by them and are forced to leave the second factory.
As a result, Liu Xinxin and Zhu Shufen were not rated as advanced by the factory director for several years if they made even the slightest mistake in their work.
That's a story for another day.
At this moment, out of guilt, the director of the second factory forgot that he wanted to hide himself before, so he stood up and said some fair words to Xu Yin:
"I don't think Xiao Xu did anything wrong. First of all, her family wanted to marry her off for her second brother's marriage, and used her gift to give her second brother a wife. She took the initiative to take on a debt of 100 yuan and paid for her family's expenses. After solving this urgent need, then the family really should not interfere with her future marriage. After taking the money and thinking about asking about her marriage, isn't it the same as marrying her once and wanting to marry her a second time and getting two betrothal gifts? ? This is so shameless!
Secondly, she didn't go back when her second brother got married, not because she didn't want to go back, but because she took on the tasks assigned by the leader and couldn't spare time. This task has just won an honor for the breeding farm. In my opinion, Xiao Xu not only did nothing wrong, but also did it very correctly. If everyone in our unit is like her, caring for everyone at home, and keeping the collective honor and the interests of the unit at heart and in front of us in everything we do, I believe our factory will develop even better than it is now! "
"Well said!" Secretary Xiang and Director Lin both applauded the Director of the Second Factory.
Xu’s mother: “…”
No, Liu Chang, why did you speak up for this damn girl? Have you forgotten that she did so many outrageous things and messed up the Second Factory so much that everyone was upset?
Xu's mother favors boys over girls, stepping on her daughter in the dust for her son to use as a stepping stone. But at the same time, she is soft-tempered and can only wipe tears when encountering anything.
Seeing that the leaders were all facing the fourth child, his eyes and nose started to feel sore and red again, and he said to Xu Yin full of grievance: "No matter what, your second brother's marriage is a big event in the family. No matter how busy you are, you have to take time to come back."
Xu Yin said calmly: "I originally planned to go back tomorrow."
Xu's mother choked and cursed in her heart: There's no point in going back tomorrow! The marriages have been completed, and all the stalls that need to be closed have been cleared.
But in front of so many leaders, how could she dare to criticize.
Director Qi smoothed things over: "Xiao Xu, it's still early now. Why don't you accompany your mother home? I'll ask Master Li to run over and take you to the dispatch station. I'll give you a holiday tomorrow. During this time Thank you for your hard work, go back and have a good rest."
"Yes! Feel free to go home and rest. The first place will be reserved for you." Secretary Xiang followed up with a humorous comment.
The other leaders didn't care what they felt in their hearts, they all laughed and cheered: "That's right, our secretary has already spoken, saying that I will keep it for you, and you will never run away!"
