Beautiful beauties in the 80s courtyard

Chapter 665 Some women don't even understand it themselves.

Although Lu Qiaoge had just returned to the subdistrict office, she wouldn't tell Director Hu about what happened at the Women's Federation.

Actually, it was Sister Lin who asked her to do this in private.

Even if everyone knows about this, she can't say it out loud.

Lu Qiaoge never expected that Sister Lin's mother would specifically ask her to come forward.

Xiao Cangcang had gathered a very comprehensive understanding of the situation for her.

Sister Lin's mother, Yu Guiyan, was fluent in multiple foreign languages ​​and worked as a translator at a military factory. She translated many documents and books, especially Russian, which she was most proficient in. The most famous book that is still a bestseller today was translated under the leadership of Yu Guiyan.

Her husband, Lin Xiuming, was also a veteran revolutionary who was the director of the planning department of a military factory before his retirement.

Lin Chengzhe is a demobilized military officer who returned to the military factory after his demobilization. He is now the deputy director of the logistics support department.

Dong Yulian did not come from an ordinary working-class family. Her mother, Ge Nan, was a well-known "Iron Lady" in a military factory. In the early days of the 516 construction project, she and the women's commando team built a large canteen that could feed thousands of people in just three days.

He's retired now, but before retirement he was the head of the First Material Section of the Logistics Support Department.

She's a woman who's been featured in Chinese newspapers.

Dong Yulian's father worked in the general affairs department, but he is now retired. He has a good temper and the family environment is normal. In other words, the Dong family is a microcosm of most families.

To be honest, even if they weren't related by marriage, they were still acquaintances in the compound.

Moreover, these elders were the builders of 516. Without their painstaking efforts, there would be no 516 as we know it today.
These were all fleeting thoughts in Lu Qiaoge's mind.

Lu Qiaoge said, "Director Hu, let me report to you about what happened at the Women's Federation just now."

Old Hu was taken aback. What happened? Did you run into something at the Women's Federation again?

So Lu Qiaoge told Lao Hu what had just happened in Sister Lin's office.

Old Hu is not one to gossip, and he was no exception at this moment. However, he said, "You may not know much about Dong Yulian's mother, Old Ge. She and Translator Yu are two completely different people. I was also puzzled when their two families became in-laws, but since the two children liked each other, it wasn't impossible. I never expected that something like this would happen. It's really a pity."

Yes, it's quite a pity.

The Lin family should marry a girl who grew up in a similar family, is used to men doing housework, or is not stubborn and can easily change her mind.

It has to be said that Ge Nan's personality greatly influenced Dong Yulian. Although she always said that Dong Yulian was blessed but didn't know it, she probably didn't even know what true happiness was.

Lu Qiaoge said, "I just talked to Dong Yulian. To put it simply, Dong Yulian is suffering without any hardship or guilt. The Lin family's environment is very relaxed, and Dong Yulian can live as she pleases. Don't think that women are born to go into the kitchen. We have been advocating gender equality, but some women don't even understand how to achieve equality."

At this point, Lu Qiaoge sighed helplessly: "Director Hu, you see, many women feel that they are born to do laundry and cook, even if they go to work and earn money just like men."

When a man comes home after a long day at work, he should be cherished and understood; when he cooks a meal, he should be showered with praise.

A man who doesn't beat his wife is a good man; a woman with a bad temper is called a shrew...

Old Hu's eyes widened: ...

What should I say about this? Is it wrong to say anything at all?

Because I'm one of them, right?
After all, I don't cook or do housework much, and my wife also has a job. Even though she's retired now, she doesn't earn less than me. But it seems like she does all the housework...

At this moment, Lao Hu felt like he was sitting on pins and needles.

Lu Qiaoge glanced at Director Hu, knowingly curling the corners of her lips into a knowing smile.

In the neighborhood committee, people tend to gossip behind each other's backs. So, naturally, when Lao Hu wasn't around, everyone liked to chat about the leaders' family affairs...

Lu Qiaoge picked up her notebook and her handbag and said, "I think that when women have the right to marry and have children, then we should gradually move towards equality."

"I'm going to the hospital to check on things. I probably won't be coming to the neighborhood office this afternoon."

Old Hu finally found his voice and hurriedly said to Lu Qiaoge, "Okay, okay, you decide."

But in my heart I was thinking about what I should do when I got home tonight.

As they reached the door, Lu Qiaoge said, "Director Hu, I was just speaking from the heart, and I'm doing this in front of you and everyone else. I wouldn't speak like that, so please don't worry."

Don't overemphasize these things; saying too much about them only creates gender antagonism.

In times of social weakness, the power of men certainly cannot be ignored.

This is also the foundation of social development.

Old Hu was naturally relieved. If Lu Qiaoge hadn't been so shrewd, she wouldn't have gotten to where she is today.
-
In a ward at the 516 Workers' Hospital, a haggard-looking Yu Guiyan sat on the hospital bed and said to Lin Xiuming in a low voice, "...You have always been the ones who sheltered me from the wind and rain. I should do something too. Let everyone think that it was my idea to make Chengze and Yulian divorce. Anyway, there have always been too many reasons for people to say bad things about me. I don't care about one more now."

She looked out into the corridor and said in a hoarse voice, "Let Sister Ge Nan go back. Her children's mistakes shouldn't be made up for by her as their mother."

Just then, voices came from outside.

The voice was very soft, and neither Lin Xiuming nor Yu Guiyan could hear it clearly.

However, I still didn't go to the door to avoid embarrassment.

At this moment, Ge Nan was sitting in a chair with a lunchbox next to her. A woman of similar age was standing in front of her, speaking in a very low voice.

“…Old Ge, why are you doing this to yourself? Go home now. We can talk about Yu Lian later. Your presence here is just adding pressure to Translator Yu.”

Old Ge rubbed his forehead, his voice low: "There's nothing I can do. That ungrateful brat doesn't know how to enjoy her good fortune. She can't even appreciate a good life. Once she leaves the Lin family, she'll never find another family as good as this. I'm willing to risk my reputation and put pressure on Translator Yu. As long as Yu Lian's family doesn't fall apart, I'll do anything. I don't care if she spits all over me..."

The person paused for a moment, then said, "It was Yulian who sent me. She's waiting for you at home. Why don't you go back first and see what Yulian wants to say to you?"

Ge Nan frowned: "She's in a better mood now, and she's able to go out?"

The person in question wasn't actually very clear on the specifics.

But she still nodded: "When Yulian asked me for help, she seemed quite emotionally stable."

Old Ge was furious: "Since you're so desperate, why don't you hurry up and come to the hospital to apologize to her mother-in-law?"
