Chapter 123 Chen Feng is praised for his high ideological awareness
Chen Shuning said pretentiously, "Her father-in-law said, 'How can this be called stealing? This is taking! I took it openly and honestly, and I admitted it when you asked me!'"
Besides, this money is mine. Did I raise my son for nothing? Besides, I'm just keeping it for you. When I die, it will all be yours!
If you don't take the initiative to give it to me, you are unfilial. I am already giving you face by shouting in public. Be more conscientious in the future and give me the money when you get it..."
Wang Na exclaimed, "Ah? Is that too much?"
Ma Lanzhi also sighed: "This is stealing! How come when it comes into his mouth, it's taking?"
"Shh—keep your voice down~" Chen Shuning reminded: "Don't let them hear us gossiping about others..."
"My Aunt Suling is so pitiful! Her father-in-law took all the money, but when the family didn't have enough food, he refused to give it to them when they needed to buy more!
My aunt had no choice but to dig wild vegetables to eat. When they were cooked, he came over with a licking face and asked for more... He was like a stingy person, not willing to give a penny...
I really want to help her...but..."
Chen Shuning's voice lowered a little: "My uncle Chunshan next door is afraid that the wife he finally married will run away, so he doesn't dare to support Aunt Suling..."
Ma Lanzhi frowned and said, "Why is he so selfish? He got married, but pushed his own sister into the fire pit..."
Wang Na said angrily, "It's unfortunate to have a brother like this!"
"Shh—keep your voices down~" Chen Shuning said anxiously, "My aunt is looking at us!"
Wang Na quickly covered her mouth, her eyes rolling around.
Ma Lanzhi shrank her neck, looking like she was caught doing something bad.
"My uncle Chunshan's wife is called Sun Yingzi. She is an honest person. She helps my aunt Suling every now and then. Otherwise, they would have starved to death long ago..."
Ma Lanzhi smiled and said, "She still has some conscience!"
Chen Shuning nodded and said, "She is indeed very kind, but she also has selfish motives in secretly helping my aunt.
Her father was very stingy, so you can imagine what life was like before she got married... I think she helped my aunt because she was afraid she would run away...
If my aunt doesn't live with her brother, given her father's behavior, he will definitely tie her up and force her to divorce..."
Wang Na's eyes widened as she glanced around furtively. Seeing no one was paying attention, she lowered her hand and whispered, "Can't we sue a man like that? He's even worse than the landlord!"
Chen Shuning shook his head and said, "It's useless! He comes from a poor peasant family. His family is so poor that they only have four walls left... The poorer they are, the more glorious they are. He is so proud!
The last time he came to Uncle Chunshan's house, he stood in the yard, chest puffed out, head held high, and shouted like a rooster, "I'm a poor peasant for eight generations! Who has a better family background than me?"
It depends on your family's sincerity. Otherwise, how could my daughter end up in your family? You should just burn incense!"
Ma Lanzhi said enthusiastically, "Then, why not ask your aunt to contact the Women's Federation?"
Chen Shuning shook her head again and said dejectedly, "My aunt is in a dilemma... If we really report this to the Women's Federation, she won't be able to enter her husband's family, let alone return to her parents' home!
Sun Yingzi was both her natal sister-in-law and her husband's sister-in-law. If things really got out of hand, neither family would help her.
We relatives can only help her secretly. We dare not let her family know..."
"It's so abominable—" Ma Lanzhi said indignantly, "Marriage is free, how could they do this?"
Chen Shuning lamented, "Marriage freedom is just a slogan. At least now people can't achieve it... There are many women like Aunt Suling who are forced to marry and have children...
So my family all supports my studies! They never favor boys over boys and treat all three of us equally!
Wang Na asked mysteriously, "Shuning, why is your family different from others?"
"My grandfather is an old party member!" Chen Shuning said seriously: "He has been to the battlefield and has seen the world! My grandfather said that there were many female comrades who joined the army back then.
They have also made contributions to the country, and even sacrificed their lives! They are heroines, no less than their male counterparts. As his granddaughter, I must learn from those heroines!
Wang Na praised: "Wow! Your grandfather is really..."
"What are you talking about me?" Chen Feng walked over with his hands behind his back and asked with a smile, "What are you guys mumbling about here? Are you saying bad things about me?"
Ma Lanzhi quickly explained, "How is that possible? Grandpa, we admire you so much!"
Wang Na said with a smile, "Yes, Grandpa, you support Shuning's education and don't discriminate against boys. We all admire you! You are so enlightened!"
Chen Feng said modestly: "I also listened to the words of the Chairman! The Chairman said that women can hold up half the sky, so women will definitely be able to hold up the sky!
My granddaughter, Chen Feng, must also be able to stand on her own feet and contribute to our country! Girls are no worse than boys..."
"Grandpa, you said it very well!" Wang Na clapped her hands excitedly: "I applaud you!"
Chen Feng laughed even more happily: "Haha~ No need to applaud! Have you eaten enough today? This is the first time Shu Ning brings friends home, you guys have to eat well!"
Ma Lanzhi nodded and replied, "Grandpa, we are all full! Your food is so delicious~"
"Where is the smell of my family's food?" Chen Feng smiled and pointed at Guo Junshan and said, "It's all thanks to Xiao Guo! He's a good cook~"
Chen Shuning smiled and nodded: "Grandpa, it's Officer Guo's cooking skills! This is the first time I've eaten such delicious meat."
Chen Feng glared at him and said dissatisfiedly, "If you know he's a good cook, you should ask him for advice. What's the food you cook? It's just barely edible..."
"Oh, Grandpa~" Chen Shuning pulled Chen Feng's arm and said coquettishly, "Can you please stop exposing my shortcomings?"
Chen Feng teased her deliberately: "What's wrong? My cooking is not tasty, and you are not allowed to say it? My cooking is more delicious than yours..."
"Hahaha……"
"Hahaha……"
Wang Na and Ma Lanzhi burst into laughter, and even Guo Junshan, who had his back to them, grinned. However, he blocked his view with his bowl, so no one else noticed.
"Come inside and play! It's cold out in the yard! I'll go see if they've finished eating."
"Uncle! When are we going to go back into the mountains?" Chen Erlai asked loudly when he saw Chen Feng, "This pork is so delicious, I can never get enough of it!
I was thinking, the traps we dug last time were too few, I have to dig a few more! If we catch prey, we can share it among ourselves and even sell some!"
Chen Wanquan was twirling his chopsticks until they were practically smoking. As he stuffed meat into his mouth, he said, "Yeah! I can't eat enough! Uncle, let's go again!"
Chen Feng said with full energy: "Okay! If it doesn't snow tomorrow, let's go into the mountains again! If we catch a lot of prey this year, we can keep some and sell the rest.
Shitou, when the time comes, you go and ask the supply and marketing cooperative if they will accept it! We'll split the proceeds equally."
Lin Shitou definitely couldn't refuse such a good offer: "Okay~ Let's do it!"
Chen Feng walked behind Guo Junshan and said with a smile, "Little Guo, we'll invite you when the time comes. The food you cook is so delicious! Everyone loves it! Isn't it?"
"Yes! It smells so good~"
"Even the food cooked by the chefs in state-owned restaurants is not as delicious as this..."
"Officer Guo, you must come when the time comes..."
Chen Feng said, "Xiao Guo, if we catch another wild boar, we'll wait until New Year's Eve and cook it in our village cafeteria! We'll have a great time celebrating the New Year!"
Guo Junshan raised his head, glanced at Wang Simin, and said in a deep voice, "Okay! That's settled!"
