Siheyuan: Happy Life of Jia Zhang Family

Today is Monday. Section Chief Zhao Lan of the Women's Federation asked Secretary Wang Fang, "Wang Fang, are there any tasks that have not been completed?"

"Chief Zhao, there is a task that we don't have a good solution for right now. It's about Hong Yongfa and his wife from Workshop 5. Hong Yongfa and his wife have three daughters and they have a very good relationship. But Hong Yongfa's mother makes trouble at home every day and wants her son and daughter-in-law to divorce because Hong Yongfa has only one brother and his mother feels that he can't live without a boy," said Wang Fang.

"What's so difficult about this task?" Zhao Lan didn't understand.

"It's not easy to work with Hong Yongfa's mother. People in the factory have advised her many times, but she just won't listen. Can Hong Yongfa really be forced to divorce just because of her?" Wang Fang also had some opinions about the new section chief. It would be better for him to keep silent than to criticize his subordinates and help others.

"Explain the policy to her mother and then scare her a little," said Zhao Lan.

"Her mother won't listen to anything and isn't afraid of being frightened," said Wang Fang.

"Is it because you didn't explain the policy clearly?" Zhao Lan's words made everyone else in the office unhappy.

"Chief Zhao, we have not been to school for many days, and our understanding of the policy is far worse than yours. Why don't you explain it to Hong Yongfa's mother in person so that we can all learn from her," Liu Mei said in a sarcastic tone.

"Sister Liu, you are not making things difficult for others. Some people are just bullies at home. I don't think it will work if they really go out to do something," Qian Ying said.

"Can such a person be a leader? It's not okay to just talk the talk and pretend to be cool every day," Zhang Cuihua said as she put down her water cup.

"Don't talk nonsense, can Section Chief Zhao not go?" Kang Qingquan said.

The four people talked for a few words and then took Zhao Lan to a stand. It seemed that she had no choice but to go, so Zhao Lan decided to meet the old lady.

"Let's go together," Zhao Lan said as she stood up and walked out.

Zhao Lan walked in front, and Zhang Cuihua and four others followed behind. Soon they arrived at Hong Yongfa's home. They also lived in a large courtyard, and the Hong family lived in the east wing of the front yard.

At this time, Hong Yongfa and his wife both went to work and were not at home. Their three children were also at school, so there was only an old lady at home.

"Hello, old lady. We are from the Women's Federation of the steel rolling mill..." Zhao Lan went straight to the point and introduced herself.

"Someone from the factory is here, leaders, you are here, I can't live anymore." Old Mrs. Hong sat down at the door, slapped the ground with her hands, and cried loudly.

Hearing Mrs. Hong's crying, the neighbors in the yard also came out to watch the fun.

Zhao Lan was sent from the ministry, and she was young. She had never experienced this kind of situation before. She looked at Zhang Cuihua and the others, wanting to see what they could do. Their eyes were fixed on Old Lady Hong, and when she looked over, they actually smiled. This made Zhao Lan very angry.

"Stop crying. Tell me why you can't live." Zhao Lan was now in a dilemma and had no choice but to bite the bullet and solve the problem.

"Leader, the vixen in my family has bewitched my son, who is a chicken that can't lay eggs. I only have one son, Yongfa, and she gave birth to three money-losing sons. She doesn't even have a grandson. Doesn't this mean that the Hong family is extinct? How can I survive?" Old Mrs. Hong cried and slapped the ground with her hands rhythmically.

Zhang Cuihua and Liu Mei were evaluating Old Lady Hong's behavior. Zhang Cuihua said to Liu Mei, "Look at Old Lady Hong. She didn't have a single tear. I tried hard four or five times but no tears came out. She didn't even wipe the grease from her lips. She didn't do her homework well."

"You slapped the ground with both hands, but there was not even a mark of dirt. Are you still afraid of getting your hands dirty? Your performance is very bad," Liu Mei also said.

"Isn't it? People like this are not worthy of being in Hongxing Street," Zhang Cuihua looked at Old Lady Hong with contempt and said to Liu Mei.

"Although this performance has some flaws, it's not so bad, right?" Liu Mei asked in surprise.

"It was a terrible performance. If I had hugged that woman's legs earlier and rubbed her pants with my big snot, she would have been disgusted and left," said Zhang Cuihua.

"How do we solve this problem?" Liu Mei asked Zhang Cuihua.

"This is easy. Just ask her a few random questions, lead her to say something wrong, and then beat her up. Then talk about it later. Isn't it better than the current situation? What an idiot," Zhang Cuihua said to Zhao Lan.

Zhao Lan had no means to deal with the shrew. She wanted to reason with her, but she didn't even give her a chance to speak. She could only follow her lead.

"Mrs. Hong, I have already investigated the situation of your family. Your behavior is suspected of being illegal." Zhao Lan saw that she couldn't reason with her, so she wanted to scare her.

"I broke the law? Just shoot me. I don't want to live anymore. My dear neighbors, the leaders of the steel mill are going to shoot me. Come and bear witness for me. Wait for Yongfa to come back and tell him." When Mrs. Hong heard what Zhao Lan said, she shouted even louder and stood up, hitting Zhao Lan with her head.

"Stop!" Zhao Lan was angry.

Her words had no deterrent effect on Old Lady Hong. She continued to touch her body, so Zhao Lan kept backing away.

As Zhao Lan was retreating, she was tripped by a piece of wood and fell down.

"How dare you beat up a factory cadre?" Zhang Cuihua saw Zhao Lan fall, winked at Qian Ying and the other two, and rushed towards Old Lady Hong.

Old lady Hong's fighting ability was far inferior to Zhang Cuihua's. She was thrown to the ground by Zhang Cuihua after being grabbed by her hair. When Qian Ying and others rushed over, Zhang Cuihua had already slapped her four times. Qian Ying and Liu Mei also started to scratch her face, pinch her arms, and twist her thighs, making Old lady Hong scream. Kang Qingquan stood aside and watched the people in the yard. If anyone came forward, he would immediately stop them loudly and tell them that whoever helps Old lady Hong would be breaking the law.

Zhang Cuihua and two other people beat up Old Lady Hong. Zhang Cuihua signaled them to stop. "Don't you want to die? You can die now. Lao Kang, go to the factory and ask the security department to bring guns. There are gangsters attacking cadres of the steel rolling mill," Zhang Cuihua said to Old Lady Hong.

"I didn't mean it," Mrs. Hong explained quickly.

"You have forgotten what just happened. You are pushing your head forward more ferociously than a pig. We all saw it. Stop making excuses," said Zhang Cuihua.

"I really didn't mean it," Old Mrs. Hong wanted to explain.

"You don't have to explain, and we don't want to listen to it. The factory leader just explained the policy to you, did you listen? You're a vixen, a money-losing piece of shit, aren't you? Who will have children without girls? Now it's a new society, and your thinking hasn't changed at all. I think Hong Yongfa is not good at educating his family members, so let him come back first. Otherwise, you two can go back to your hometown," Zhang Cuihua continued.
