Chapter 1150 Northeastern Women's Quarrels: Unrivaled Under Heaven
The meeting officially started at 9:30, and the workers immediately noticed that two drum teams had appeared next to the stage.
After a night's rest, the long-faced man was full of energy. He stood in the middle of the stage, holding the microphone, and tried to show off his eight big teeth to indicate that he was very happy.
"Comrades, the sound of gongs and drums and the waving of red flags signify that our Four Cleanups and Five Antis Movement is in full swing. First, I have some good news to announce..."
Yesterday, the capitalists of the joint public-private enterprise in Mindu, under the call of the people and inspired by the Four Cleanups and Five Antis Movement, went to the government to admit their mistakes, promised never to be extravagant again, and voluntarily donated all their shares to the state and the people.
In other words, from today onwards, our people can truly be masters of their own destiny.
As soon as he finished speaking, the people in the square were stunned. It wasn't until the sound of gongs and drums rang out that the workers realized what was going on. The square suddenly erupted in cheers, and many people took off their hats and threw them into the air.
Don't underestimate this action. It proves that from today onwards, all workers are no longer employed by capitalists, but are workers of the state, earning wages from the state. Although the amount hasn't changed, the feeling is vastly different.
The capitalists didn't dare to attend the meeting; they stayed at home anxiously, fearing that someone might break in and take them away at any moment.
After the crowd calmed down a bit, the man with the long face wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes. It was hard for anyone not to be emotional in this situation. He handed the microphone to Wang Qiuju.
Wang Qiuju was also extremely excited. She was still dressed the same as yesterday, with short hair, a military uniform, and a red armband. She vigorously tossed her short hair and shouted.
"The east wind blows and the war drums beat; who in this world is afraid of whom? Our criticism meeting continues; please speak up."
Suddenly a woman with disheveled hair rushed up, followed by two men, one old and one young. The woman fell down in front of the platform, screaming desperately.
"Help! Help! They're trying to kill me!"
The two men had reached the woman and reached out to cover her mouth. The younger man looked up and forced a smile.
"I'm so sorry, esteemed leaders, my wife has gone mad. She's trying to kill people at home. We tied her up, but somehow she escaped..."
The old man viciously covered the woman's mouth, and the woman shook her head desperately, her eyes filled with despair.
Wang Qiuju roared.
"Let her go!"
He immediately jumped down to help the woman shake off the two men. Just then, an old woman ran over; she arrived at the venue and was startled.
Upon seeing Wang Qiuju arguing with her husband and son, she flew into a rage, rushed over, and slapped Wang Qiuju hard across the face.
"You shameless woman, how dare you interfere in our family affairs? This is my daughter-in-law..."
Before she could finish speaking, a pair of large, fleshy hands with sharp fingernails began to scratch at her head. The old woman only had time to cry out once.
Li Jingxian's Nine Yin White Bone Claw scratched his face into potato shreds.
Li Jingxian displayed her martial arts skills while simultaneously cursing loudly.
"You wretched woman, born of a father but uneducated by a mother, dare to hit my daughter? You've got some nerve, haven't you? *+￥$…"
For a full ten minutes, everyone on and off the stage was stunned. For ten minutes, this plump woman had been cursing non-stop, without repeating a single word. Fierce! Absolutely fierce!
The old woman's face was covered in bloody welts, and after being scolded by Li Jingxian, she fainted instantly.
Many people know Li Jingxian; they know she's a tough troll. She once stood in front of a house and yelled at them for over two hours, resulting in the family moving away the next day and disappearing without a trace.
They've only had a small taste of what's to come, and everyone still feels it's not quite enough. That old lady who was being scolded and beaten is so defenseless; she was knocked unconscious after just ten minutes. Let's persevere a little longer and see if we can break the record of more than two hours.
Wang Qiuju had already directed the young workers to rescue the woman, and the two men were forced to kneel down below the stage.
Wang Qiuju helped the disheveled woman onto the stage. Only then did she take a closer look. Good heavens, this woman was in a terrible state; her entire body was barely clothed, and her exposed skin was covered in welts from whips and various other objects.
Qiu Fengqin quickly brought over a military overcoat, which was her own. Seeing the woman's miserable state, she, being a soft-hearted woman, wept as she handed the overcoat to the woman and helped her put it on.
The woman, who had been shivering from the cold, suddenly felt warm. She looked at the smiling Wang Qiuju, then at Qiu Fengqin beside her who was wiping away tears, and finally couldn't help but burst into tears.
She spoke through tears, and everyone on and off the stage finally understood what was going on.
Her name is Wu Xiufang. She is from Jiuyu Village behind Fuyu Mountain in Mindu. Three years ago, she married Wang Ade from Xiazhou. After three years of marriage, she has no children.
The Wang family's initial hope turned into expectation, and then gradually into despair. Starting a year ago, Wu Xiufang fell into a dark abyss.
Not only her mother-in-law, but also her sister-in-law cursed her every day, calling her a barren hen. Even her father-in-law would beat and scold her constantly. If her husband, Wang Ade, had treated her better, Wu Xiufang could have endured it.
But Wang Ade was no better. His beatings and verbal abuse towards her gradually escalated, from punching and kicking to whipping, and finally he would use whatever he could grab to beat her.
The Wang family's mistreatment of their daughter-in-law is not news; Wu Xiufang's family had already heard about it. It's a pity that thousands of years of Confucian thought have been ingrained in the Chinese people.
What about the saying "Of the three unfilial acts, the greatest is to have no offspring"? And what about women? Their only duty is to bear children. If they can't have children, it doesn't matter if they are beaten to death.
Wu Xiufang's family completely ignored the matter, saying to outsiders that a married daughter is like water spilled from a bowl, and it was her fate to be beaten to death by her husband's family. This only fueled the Wang family's arrogance, and from then on, beating Wu Xiufang became a daily occurrence.
Two weeks ago, Wang Ade came home all smiles. His parents, seeing their son so happy, quickly asked what had happened. Wang Ade proudly recounted the whole story.
He and Ah Xiu, the young widow at the village entrance, had been having an affair for a long time. Today, Ah Xiu was diagnosed with pregnancy by the village doctor. Ah Xiu said that it was his child. Upon hearing that he was going to be a father, Wang Ade was overjoyed.
Wu Xiufang squatted in front of the stove, tending the fire, when she heard her husband proudly talking about his affairs with other women. Tears fell drop by drop onto the burning wood...
