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 a wife. I didn't want to, so you said I would find a way to raise money. Then I asked my colleagues to borrow it and asked for an advance payment.
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 lent money to the second child to get married. For a moment, her face was filled with embarrassment: "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 in the future, or how much gift the other party gives, my family will never interfere with it. You and dad agreed to this at the beginning.
, now why do you say that I am not filial to my parents and do not respect my brother? If I am not filial, I will go out of my way to help my family borrow money to pay off debts? If I do not respect my brother, will I ignore him? I don’t care if he can come up with a set of thirty-six-legged furniture and marry me.
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 salary. You said you wanted to make your own decisions about your marriage and that your family had no control over it. Even when your brother was getting married on National Day, you didn’t come home to help. Your sisters and 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 it was inappropriate to 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 others are lazy, I will still believe it, but if they say 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 before I finished listening. Maybe she wanted to ask for leave from me.
This kid 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 previous years. With her here this year, it is rare to win an award, but it is a sacrifice.
At the expense of her rest time, I really feel bad..."
"..."
Xu's mother was simply dumbfounded.
The fourth child is diligent? Are you sure? 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's possible that she is someone who specializes in picking on people and is very good at getting things done. But to say that she is diligent... even Xu's mother wouldn't believe it even to death.
"Well, 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? Why don't you want to see her and deliberately ruin 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 because of something at home. She asked her colleagues if she didn’t have enough money to borrow, so she came to me to approve a note and advance her salary. In the past few months, her salary has been only ten dollars.
Five or seven yuan is used to repay the advance. She borrowed money to pay off the debt 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 another son? My daughter is here! Seeing that she is honest and responsible, she is easy to bully, right?"
"..."
Xu's mother opened her mouth, but was scolded by Director Qi so that she couldn't say anything.
After listening to Director Qi's explanation, the leaders present looked at Xu's mother with contempt in their eyes.
It is normal in this era to favor sons over daughters. Those who have sons or daughters will tend to favor their sons. But this is the first time that I have seen sons favoring sons over daughters, using the bride price of their daughters to supplement their sons, and then raking up the money.
Even the director of the second factory was confused at this moment: How could Xu Yin be so hard-working 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 ask the company to advance her salary. After that, she worked actively in the company and was hardworking and willing to work.
, very popular... but why is he 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 ran against her?
hiss!
The more the director of the second factory thought about it, the more likely he thought it was possible. Xiao Liu, Xiao Zhu, and Xiao Hu from the factory office 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 charge of the factory.
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, if Liu Xinxin and Zhu Shufen made even the slightest mistake in their work, the factory director would give them a cross in their hearts, and they have not been rated as advanced in several years.
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 wedding, 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 couldn’t spare time from the task assigned by the leader. This task just won an honor for the farm. In my opinion, Xiao Xu is not only
She didn’t do anything wrong, and she did it very correctly. If everyone in our company is like her, caring about everyone else, and putting the collective honor and the interests of the company at heart and in front of us in everything we do, I believe our factory will develop well.
Better than now!”
"Well said!" Secretary Xiang and Director Lin both applauded the Director of the Second Factory.
Xu’s mother: “…”
No, Factory Liu, why did you speak up for this damn girl? She did so many outrageous things and messed up the Second Factory so much that you forgot about it?
Xu's mother favored 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 was soft-tempered and would only wipe her tears when something happened.
Seeing that the leaders were all facing the fourth child, his eyes and nose began to feel sore and red again, and he said to Xu Yin full of grievances: "No matter what, your second brother's marriage is a major event in the family. No matter how busy you are, you have to take the time to come back."
Xu Yin said lightly: "I originally planned to go back tomorrow."
Xu's mother choked and cursed in her heart: There is no point in going back tomorrow! The marriage has been completed, and the stalls that need to be closed have also been cleaned up.
But in front of so many leaders, how could she dare to criticize him?
Field 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 and said that I will keep it for you and you will definitely not be able to escape!"
