Chapter 287 Wedding
Many people became bolder after drinking sorghum wine. In the past, they only dared to talk behind people's backs, but now seeing so many people discussing Yu Xueli and her mother and daughter, they also joined in.

But Yu Xueli was not the only one acting as a mother at the scene. Many people who worked in the hair flower factory had been preached about women's rights by Director Guo. They had only listened to him before, but when they really got their first salary through their own efforts, they felt a sense of pride from the bottom of their hearts.

That is wealth that they obtain without relying on anyone, it is created by their own hands.

Even those who did not work in the hairpin factory were furious after hearing what these old men said, and some people couldn't help themselves on the spot.

"What do you mean by living with him for the rest of your life? He's just a lecher. He has a bad temper, loves to beat people, and is lazy. Who would want to live with him for the rest of their life? You old gentlemen are so generous. Why don't you let your daughters or your wives live with him for the rest of their lives?"

"What's wrong with being a mother? Does a mother deserve to be beaten, scolded, and bullied? Dezi beat his mother like that, but she's his own mother. How dare he bully his own mother like that at such a young age? What will happen to him when he grows up?"

"Those two old fools are still regretting. Are they regretting because they didn't treat Daya Niang well? Bah, that's because there's no one left to do the housework. Now that they see Daya Niang has cleaned up so neatly and can even make money, aren't they rushing to regret it?"

"Humph, as expected, the masters still side with the masters. Daya Niang almost lost her life back then. If the divorce had not been done smoothly, the grass on her grave would have been as tall as a person by now. You should be patient. For a family like that, even ghosts would have to drive away in a tractor if they came."

Yu Xueli felt a lump in her throat as she listened to so many women speaking for her. She almost cried. How could she not feel aggrieved after hearing what those people said? She had not wanted to marry the lair in the first place, not to mention that she had endured it for so many years. Now, after a few days of good life, these people actually wanted her to come back.

Haha, she would rather die than come back.

"I can't get along with you old ladies. Just drink. It's a pity not to eat such good food and wine. Ignore them."

That arrogant look made many female comrades feel suffocated.

At this time, Lu Xiangxiang and Shen Xiaobin came over to toast. Those who had just mentioned Yu Xueli were about to stand up. Lu Xiangxiang directly pulled Shen Xiaobin to another table and raised her glasses to a few aunts and sisters-in-law with ugly faces.

"Aunt, aunt, sister-in-law, thank you for coming to attend Xiaobin and I's wedding today. I'd like to toast to everyone. I'm really happy today, not only because today is Xiaobin and I's big day, but I'm even more happy that the women in our commune are so self-reliant now. Whether they work to earn wages or work points, we have made real contributions to support the elderly, educate children, and do housework and earn money. Seeing this, I am really happy from the bottom of my heart."

When Shen Xiaobin saw Lu Xiangxiang saying this, her voice was obviously much louder. He knew in his heart that she was probably trying to speak up for the female comrade in front of her.

"Of course, who says women are inferior to men? The hair flower factory and the food workshop in our commune were all built by my sister, Comrade Shen Meng. As a microcosm of the vast majority of women comrades, she has already made it clear that women comrades can hold up half the sky. This is not just talk. We male compatriots should work harder. Although we can't compare in terms of wages, we can still compare in terms of work points."

The old man who was just talking nonsense, listening to the words of the bride and groom, subconsciously looked towards Shen Meng's table. He just drank some wine and started talking nonsense. He didn't remember at all that Yu Xueli was good friends with Shen Meng. This woman was not a simple person. She was now the deputy director of the hair flower factory. His old woman was still working in the factory. He didn't know if what they just said would affect their work. Looking at Shen Meng's half-smile, his dizzy brain suddenly became alert, and sweat broke out on his back.

"That's right, Xiangxiang, your boyfriend is great. He is indeed Shen Meng's younger brother. He has a high level of ideological awareness. It's an era now, but we women still have to rely on men. We women have long been able to hold up half the sky. Besides, the eldest daughter can live her life however she wants, and no one can control her."

"That's right. Dezi is a pitiful child now. We, the aunts and uncles, feel bad when we see this. But who can be blamed for this? If he works hard and learns to be a good person, maybe Daya Niang will forgive him someday!"

"People are all made of flesh and blood. How can a mother not feel anything when she sees her own flesh and blood being bullied like this? But this also depends on the person involved. Shirley almost lost her life at the time. I feel scared when I think about it now, let alone her, the person involved."

Xie Jinghao, Wang Lianhua, Xifeng and others looked at Dayu Xueli who was silently shedding tears, and looked at her worriedly. Shen Meng even reached out and patted her on the back.

"I'm fine. Actually, I've already thought about Dezi's affairs. If he works hard and studies well, when I marry Lao Qian, I'll give him the house where Daya and Xiaoya and I live now. If he wants to go to school, I can pay his tuition. When he grows up and gets married, I'm willing to give him a betrothal gift. But that's all I can do. Maybe one day I'll be able to sit down and have a meal with him calmly, but not now. When I see him, my heart aches. Daya and Xiaoya have been bullied a lot because of him, although most of the time it was instigated by his grandparents. But it's not that I haven't taught him before. They're all my children. I'm responsible for not teaching them well, but he's also responsible for not listening to my teachings. We mother and daughter probably aren't meant to be together in this life."

"Just follow your heart."

"Hey, let's not talk about this. Today is Xiangxiang and Xiaobin's wedding. I can't let it affect the couple's mood, otherwise I will be guilty."

Yu Xueli wiped away her tears and said to Shen Meng and the others with a smile.

"Eat the food, eat the food. There is a lot of food left on our table. If you don't eat it now, the kids will come over to ask for more!"

Lu Xiangxiang and Shen Xiaobin also heard what was said over there. The two of them started to toast each other one by one with their glasses in hand. After one round, Shen Meng and the others stood up.

When those waiting for the second round of meals saw someone standing up, they hurried over to grab a seat.

The people who were preparing the banquet struck the gongs and drums again and shouted to the crowd.

"Get married."

Lu Xiangxiang and Shen Xiaobin knelt down and kowtowed to Uncle Guai and Aunt Juying, and then Lu Xiangxiang was carried out of the courtyard by her three brothers.
