Chapter 595

Cao Zhaodi's words could be said to be crisp and neat; although her voice was trembling, her expression was very firm.

For a moment, the whole courtyard seemed to have quieted down.

Everyone's gaze couldn't help but fall on the little girl standing beside Lu Qiaoge, who was in rags and looked very miserable because she had been beaten.

Wu Dani was closest to Cao Zhaodi.

She was in a bad mood, but because these people who came were all big cadres, especially since there was the commune president among them, one had to know that President Yu was like a local emperor.

They might not know the county magistrate, but they were still very respectful to the president.

No matter how shrewish Wu Dani was, she didn't dare to cause trouble at this time.

But Wu Dani never expected that this eldest daughter, whom she had never looked up to and even carried hatred for, would actually say such things.

For a moment, Wu Dani couldn't describe how she felt in her heart; she wanted to say something but couldn't utter a single word.

The second Cao, standing to the side, suddenly felt a bit ashamed.

In fact, he lived his days in a daze every day.

For these people, getting married, having sons, working in the fields, and being well-fed and clothed were basically the pursuits of life.

Then the old principal said his eldest daughter was smart, had a good memory, and especially was very good at math.

So he hoped the child could go to school.

Maybe she could even skip grades to get into high school and then become a worker sooner.

Their commune wasn't very far from the provincial capital.

Although the commune was very poor, there were quite a few people in the commune who went to the provincial capital to become workers.

Being a worker was good; one didn't have to work in the fields or face the yellow earth with one's back to the sky.

Every month the state issued grain and wages, and even issued clothes and allocated housing.

So for the second Cao, if his eldest daughter could become a worker when she grew up, that would definitely be a matter of bringing honor to his ancestors.

That was why he agreed to let his eldest daughter go to school.

But now the down jacket factory was buying large quantities of goose down and duck down.

People in the family said what was the use of going to school; that was all a matter for more than ten years later, and what was right in front of them was important. He also felt it was very right, so he agreed.

Who could have thought that so many people would come to the house today? The second Cao thought a lot in his mind, but also felt it was almost blank.

Standing there, he also couldn't utter a single word.

Lu Qiaoge looked at Cao Zhaodi, who had boldly said these words, with encouraging eyes.

This little girl was indeed very smart, and her character was also very resilient.

She really knew what to say at this time.

She reached out and rubbed the little girl's head, but didn't talk about going to school.

Because that wasn't the important thing right now.

Lu Qiaoge knew why President Yu asked old man Cao about these family matters.

She didn't let the courtyard stay silent for too long; what others thought was their own business.

Some people couldn't be educated to understand with just one or two sentences from you.

So Lu Qiaoge also blinked her eyes and looked at the two Cao sisters-in-law, whose complexions were not good, with great confusion: "Since you haven't divided the household, housework is everyone's business. Although I haven't stayed in the countryside, whether in the countryside or the city, families that haven't divided the household will reasonably arrange housework. So, do you two have health problems? Why didn't you share the housework with Comrade Wu Dani? How did you form this kind of thinking that is unfavorable to unity?"

Then someone outside the courtyard raised their voice and shouted: "Little Factory Director Lu, I know how it was formed."

Lu Qiaoge looked toward the crowd; it was a middle-aged woman in her forties.

She had short hair and looked like a clean, neat, and very refreshing person.

The old principal beside her hurriedly introduced: "This is another teacher at our school, surnamed Yin..."

Oh, so it was Teacher Yin.

This person seemed to recognize her; she probably had seen her when she was purchasing woven goods in the commune.

Lu Qiaoge also looked at Teacher Yin with a smile; since this person had opened her mouth to speak, it meant she wasn't afraid of offending people.

"Teacher Yin, then can you tell everyone how this lazy thinking was formed?"

Subsequently, Lu Qiaoge looked at these two people and asked very kindly: "By the way, let me ask first, do you two have any illnesses?"

Whether in the countryside or the city, these words were like cursing someone.

The eldest Cao sister-in-law and the third Cao sister-in-law widened their eyes, but then immediately shrank their necks and glared fiercely at Lu Qiaoge in their hearts.

Was this human language?

Asking people if they had illnesses for no reason.

Lu Qiaoge actually didn't want to focus her gaze on these two women; they were all women, why should women make things difficult for women?

But in fact, many of those who made things difficult for women were women.

Just like in this family... Wu Dani couldn't give birth to a son, so her mother-in-law disliked her, her two sisters-in-law bullied her, and her husband wasn't good to her. Even if her personality was shrewish, she felt inferior just because she hadn't given birth to a son.

Doing so much work at home, she didn't dare to have any complaints.

But in fact, could she have no complaints or hatred?

There must be some.

She didn't dare to vent to others, so she vented these negative emotions on her three daughters.

Old man Cao and the other three males didn't take action or open their mouths to curse.

Then were they good people?

No!!!

These three were all of the same ilk, including that old man Cao.

No one in this family felt that being patriarchal was wrong.

If one really had to trace it, it must have been that at the very beginning, men disliked women for not being able to give birth to sons.

If men hadn't disliked it at the very beginning, it's estimated that the four words "patriarchal thinking" wouldn't exist now.

Of course, this was just Lu Qiaoge thinking randomly.

Her gaze looked straight at the other two daughters-in-law of the Cao family.

Under such a gaze, the eldest Cao sister-in-law and the third Cao sister-in-law had to say in a low voice: "What kind of words is this little comrade saying? We don't have any illnesses; our bodies are very healthy."

Lu Qiaoge smiled and looked at Teacher Yin standing at the door: "These two people are healthy, so how was this lazy thinking formed?"

Teacher Yin said without any fear: "The others are minor reasons, for example, old man Cao and old Mrs. Cao turn a blind eye and let these two daughters-in-law bully the other daughter-in-law."

"The eldest brother and the younger brother-in-law also just pretend not to see. After all, her husband doesn't manage her, so others manage her even less."

"But why can these two put on airs and not work in front of Wu Dani, throwing the work to Wu Dani? Just because they feel they gave birth to sons, and Wu Dani didn't."

"In the final analysis, it's still the corrupt patriarchal thinking at work. In fact, our village often holds educational meetings, but some people's brains just don't get it. They are women themselves, yet they choose to help the evildoer to bully women."

The eldest Cao sister-in-law and the third Cao sister-in-law immediately stood up straight.

This hat was a bit too big to wear.

Even if they did exactly that at home, they couldn't say it in front of so many people.

The eldest Cao sister-in-law hurriedly said: "Teacher Yin, you must not say such things; when have I ever been patriarchal?"
