Siheyuan: A warm home with wife and children

When, when, when...

The recoil from the hammer made her arm tremble, and it went numb after only a few strikes.

"You haven't eaten yet? Bang it as hard as you can, put all your strength into it, smash it!"

Clang, clang...

Qin Huairu was holding back her anger and disregarded her fear.

He frantically pounded on the bright red embryo...

……

Chapter 101 Sister Fu from the Women's Federation, Please Give Master Yang a Stern Criticism

Lunchtime, in the main dining hall.

Qin Huairu dragged herself in, her arms trembling uncontrollably.

His face was flushed, yet also somewhat pale, as if he had been seriously ill.

And those two arms, they're numb!

I'm completely numb!!

Qin Huairu couldn't even move a finger at this moment.

Even if it's numb, you still have to eat.

This is what happened in the special workshop in one morning.

There's still work to do this afternoon!

Qin Huairu also realized that no one in the workshop would take care of her just because she was a woman.

Once you're in the workshop, you're a worker, regardless of gender.

Today, He Yuzhu personally served his meal at the window.

Seeing Qin Huairu approaching, he struggled to lift the lunchbox with trembling arms.

His fingers, which had been gripping the edge of the lunchbox, had turned white.

One spoonful, two spoonfuls, and another spoonful.

The lunchboxes were piled up to the brim.

"Good job."

Without saying anything else, Sha Zhu continued serving food to the next person.

Qin Huairu felt a genuine warmth in her heart.

The way Sha Zhu looked at her just now was respectful.

Tears welled up in her eyes, but she tilted her head back and held them back.

Yesterday...

Xu Damao forced her to admit to the hundred yuan, and everyone watched coldly.

Qin Huairu told herself that from now on, her tears would also be valuable.

"Mom, a girl's tears are like golden beans, she shouldn't cry."

"If you cry all the time, you'll run out of tears, and things will definitely get tough for you later."

"Xiao Dang, tell Mom, who told you all this?"

Xiao Dang shrank his neck, glanced into the courtyard, shook his head, and remained silent.

Qin Huairu could see clearly that all these principles were taught to her by Yang Jianguo's family.

It was either Yang Jianguo himself or Li Ying.

Qin Huai felt grateful; Ren Jianguo and his wife were truly good people.

Why was Qin Huairu able to make such a huge decision, swallowing her pride and even abandoning her dignity?

Kneeling at Yang Jianguo's door, kowtowing and begging him to accept him as his apprentice?

Because Qin Huairu knew it in her heart.

Only Yang Jianguo speaks like a real man.

Ding is Ding, Mao is Mao.

Say something.

Moreover, Yang Jianguo was the only one who didn't look at me with that greedy look in his eyes.

Learn the skills from him, and you won't have to think about any other nonsense.

Learning is the right thing to do, and Yang Jianguo is happy to teach, without holding anything back.

His reputation was well-known throughout the factory.

Those few apprentices in the special workshops, who wouldn't envy them?

On some days, Qin Huairu still felt uncomfortable because of this.

Because when other men look at her, they all seem to want to melt her away.

Yang Jianguo looked at her with a hint of pity.

That's it, just like that stranger on the street.

That little bit of pride she had after her man died, that little bit of capital.

It had absolutely no effect on Yang Jianguo!

later……

It wasn't until last night that Qin Huairu suddenly realized...

This is what she wanted, this is what she deserved...

That's called backbone, that's called dignity.

"A person can be poor, but he cannot lack backbone."

"If you lose your backbone, living is no different from being dead."

"Mom, what does it mean to have backbone?"

"Have backbone! Mom will earn it for you. When you grow up, you'll understand that it's much more precious than money."

"Even a young man like me needs to have backbone."

"Yes, our Xiaodang also needs to have backbone and earn money with his own hands."

She also wanted to transform the pity in Yang Jianguo's eyes into pride and admiration.

"Sooner or later, I'll make you, Yang Jianguo, praise me and say, 'Qin Huairu is amazing!'"

Holding the spoon, Qin Huairu trembled but couldn't get it to her mouth.

Finally, with a heavy heart, he slammed the spoon aside.

He bent over, buried his head in the lunchbox, and wolfed down his food.

"Widow Qin, Widow Qin."

Upon hearing her older sister call out, Qin Huairu first wiped her mouth with trembling hands and her head down.

Only after that did he raise his head.

It was Sister Fu from the factory's labor union. "Sister Fu, is there anything I can help you with?"

"Widow Qin, what's wrong with you?"

Sister Fu sat down opposite her and looked at Qin Huairu, who seemed to be ruined, with her arms hanging limply.

"Didn't you say you were transferred to the special operations workshop? Are you being bullied?"

In the past two years, the rights of trade unions have been increasing, and their social status has also improved.

Especially when it combines with the Women's Federation, it becomes a sister unit.

With the support of the vast majority of women, their voice was amplified many times over.

Sister Fu works in the union and women's federation office, and is specifically responsible for related work in the factory.

Anyone who tries to bully female comrades is unacceptable...

If you can't see it, that's fine, but if you see it and know about it, then you have to take action.

If Qin Huairu were to enter the special workshop today, it would be a big deal in the factory, and even more so for the Women's Federation.

Originally, Sister Fu came to congratulate her and encourage her to do her best.

After all, she was the first woman to enter the special workshop.

This is an honor for all women, and a sign of progress.

If she can stay, Sister Fu plans to invite her to speak at the Women's Federation in the future and write articles for her.

But when they arrived, they saw Qin Huairu with his arms drooping, burying his head in the lunchbox and eating.

This is not how a normal person eats.

Looking at her face, she said, "No, I have to go and talk to Yang Jianguo."

He's an impatient person by nature; he just pushed off the table and went inside.

Before Qin Huairu could even speak, she hurriedly followed and called out, "Sister Fu, that's not true, you've misunderstood."

Sister Fu wouldn't listen; she was convinced that Yang Jianguo was trying to bully the widow.

People don't agree, so the torment of her thoughts drives her.

This man changes when he has power.

She'd seen plenty of men like that.

Qin Huai kept chasing after her, trying to get her to stop and listen to his explanation.

But her weak body couldn't keep up with the decisive and efficient Sister Fu.

She couldn't just shout, "Yang Jianguo didn't bully me," because if so many people heard, it would turn into a problem even if nothing was wrong.

When Yang Jianguo finds her troublesome, he'll probably just kick her out.

Qin Huai was extremely anxious. Sister Fu entered the small canteen and said, "Master Yang, Yang Jianguo, why are you bullying Widow Qin?"

Yang Jianguo, who was having lunch with his coworkers, was stunned by her barrage of accusations.

I was busy with work all morning, and apart from glancing at the apprentices' performance in my spare time, I didn't say a word.

How is that considered bullying Widow Qin?

If Qin Huairu is tired, did he go and complain to someone?

That shouldn't be the case!

She changed too quickly, and besides, what good would it do her?

"Master Yang, please let me in. Sister Fu has misunderstood." Qin Huairu, who was stopped at the door, was so anxious that she was jumping up and down.

Yang Jianguo glanced at the door and said, "Let her in."

Qin Huairu came in, and Sister Fu put her arm around her: "Widow Qin, don't be afraid, the Women's Federation can help you with anything."

“If we’re bullied, the union won’t stand for it. If we can’t talk to the factory manager, we’ll go to the higher-ups.”

"If you have any grievances, just tell me. If anyone bullies you, point them out to me, and I'll take care of them one by one."

Seeing Yang Jianguo's ambiguous smile, Qin Huairu almost cried out in distress: "Sister Fu, please stop talking. No one is really making things difficult for me."

"I'm just tired from working. The work in the workshop is heavy, and everyone is the same. It's just that I'm physically weak, so I don't blame anyone else."

Upon hearing her say that, Sister Fu was a little dumbfounded.

This is a misunderstanding!
