Strict Wife Of The '70s Manages The Household

Chapter 419

Lin Lan clapped her hands, “So you see, comparison is sometimes useful. We should be grateful that our Secretary Head and Brigade Leader are diligently working to make sure every matter in the Commune is handled well. We have to be thankful to them.”

The Brigade Leader stood up joyfully and cupped his hands towards his surroundings, “It’s no biggie.”

Han Yongfang raised his hand and waved, “Okay. As long as you all don’t cause trouble and work properly, everything will be alright.”

The members of the Commune laughed and said that after the Publicity Team was formed, the Secretary Head became more approachable.

With the works of the Publicity Team becoming more popular, everyone became happier as well. The cadres found that the members were more disciplined and hygienic as did the girls who became more generous. The slack season did not pass without entertainment, Lin Lan got her fair share of food and work points from her jobs and Dong Huaihua was named as one of the outstanding female cadres…

There was also Liu Xiuyun, who was getting stronger day by day as she worked actively and seriously.

Later, a young man tried to take advantage of Liu Xiuyun. Thinking that she had been taken advantage of by other men, he thought that it would be his loss if he didn’t give her a ‘use’ as well. In the end, Liu Xiuyun rolled up her sleeves and slapped him a few times. Then, she told the Secretary Head that the man was playing hooligan. Ultimately, Han Yongfang didn’t call the police, but he whipped the man into shape. From now on, all the men in the village were more or less on the right track as none of them ever dared to approach Liu Xiuyun with bad intentions.

There are a few more women who previously vied for Liu Xiuyun to get married with their sons, but it didn’t happen back then since she didn’t fancy either of them. Now that they saw Liu Xiuyun, they just wanted to make sarcastic remarks, so they said out loud, “It’s amazing how if you follow the footsteps of a shrew, you actually become a shrew. To end up like this as a young girl is truly saddening; what a shame. No one would dare to marry someone like that in the future, so it seems like she’s going to be a spinster for the rest of her life.”

Liu Xiuyun fired back a retort directly as Lin Lan taught her, “With your virtues, I wouldn’t settle for something as low as your son even if I become single forever!”

The women were so angry that they kept complaining to Dong Huaihua, saying that Liu Xiuyun was becoming violent.

Dong Huaihua was so happy to gossip about it with Lin Lan, “Lin Lan, you have taught me well. Now, our girl doesn’t have to cower when she goes out anymore. No one dares to bully her, haha.”

Lin Lan was also happy, “In this way, our work is not in vain.”

Her work was indeed not in vain, because after Liu Xiuyun’s matter was resolved, Dong Huaihua admired her even more. The Secretary Head and Brigade Leader all praised her sincerely and not for Han Qingsong’s sake. Also, it was worth mentioning that the Liu family now see her as their benefactor. Some thought of her as a woman who was capable since they saw that she never misused her husband’s influence to suppress others, but was even willing to help.

Lin Lan’s reputation in Shanzui Village was getting better and better.

People from other villages even thought she was a primary school teacher and they all gave her a thumbs up when they mentioned her, “Teacher Lin is amazing, and her publicity classes are fun and overwhelming.”

The publicity work was on the right track as Lin Lan was very comfortable with her work points. She was invited by other brigades to give talks, which earned her more food and thus, lighting up the mood of her own home with every passing day.

On this day, she and Dong Huaihua brought Liu Xiuyun, Liu Chuncai and some others to the brigade next door to have some public talks as well.

The brigade happened to be slaughtering pigs, so before leaving, each of them received a catty of pork whereas Lin Lan had an extra piece of pork liver.

Several people were very happy, “I have been greedy for meat for a long time and since our brigade hasn’t started butchering the pigs the timing is just right.”
