I Became a Vicious Supporting Role in the '70s-Chapter 228: It’s Different from What Was Said Before

Feng Si saw Zhou Jiaojiao fainting and felt a jolt in his heart, although quite annoyed, if something happened to a pregnant woman in his office, he himself might be in trouble, not to mention others, his own wife would kill him.

She has always despised others mistreating female comrades.

"Lu Jiaxuan, hurry up and take your wife to the health clinic, it’s not far away, village chief Lu should go too, just in case."

"Okay, okay."

Lu Jiaxuan’s brow was furrowed tightly. Since working at the commune, he has always been cautious, fearing that he might do something displeasing. He is always the first to arrive and the last to leave, handling almost all the sanitation and water fetching in the commune.

That’s why he was able to become official so quickly, and the director of the commune has praised him more than once.

He thought that with this recognition combined with Jiaojiao managing the workshop, his future would certainly soar, but he never expected that just by managing the workshop, he would encounter so many obstacles.

He was wrong, he shouldn’t have been so eager for quick success, letting Jiaojiao and the child bear these undue hardships. Now it’s not just about sending Jiaojiao to the hospital, but also dealing with the director here, he must show his stance, otherwise, life will not be easy for him and Jiaojiao.

"Director, I have been busy with the community census recently, I don’t know much about what happened in the village. Jiaojiao has her own work and is pregnant, she really can’t handle the workshop matters. The past few days, she was only helping because everyone elected her. In my heart, as long as she and the child are safe, she will no longer meddle with the workshop affairs in the future. As for who manages it, you can arrange as you see fit."

Meaning his wife didn’t absolutely need to manage the workshop, it was only because everyone elected her that she reluctantly helped, but now with her poor health, she is ready to drop it. The commune can appoint anyone they want.

Lu Jiaxuan picked up Zhou Jiaojiao and turned to leave, followed by Lu Debang carrying a stomach full of fire.

After they left, the group of women in the office felt very awkward; they came with Zhou Jiaojiao. When the director was scolding, they had been lowering their heads, so they didn’t react in time to follow when Lu Jiaxuan took the person away.

Feng Si sighed in irritation, went through the documents given to him by Shen Meng again, and thought that a common bed doesn’t breed two types of people. His squad leader is such a capable man, the wife he married couldn’t be anything less.

Look at how much she stirs things up, just finished with one Head Flower Workshop, turns around and starts a food supplemental workshop. The county has only a few factories, and she alone has managed two, how brilliant she is indeed!

"Director, what did you say just now, Shenji is setting up a workshop, is this real, if Shen Meng really takes over Shenji, what about our Lu Family Village? Our place is thriving, just delayed these two days, if we adjust well, it definitely can...".

"Definitely can what, I’ve emphasized many times before that the Head Flower Workshop is attached to the textile factory, Cooperative Society, and the County Government are all keeping an eye on it, expecting it to grow bigger and stronger. But you’ve quietly removed the manager without a word. Let’s talk about whether Comrade Shen Meng has ever asked the village, commune, or textile factory for benefits since the beginning of this workshop. She is such a selfless person benefiting others without personal gain, have you really cared for and cherished her properly? I’m telling you, I’m aware of the nasty words you said to Comrade Shen Meng during the disputes in your village, so now she’s heartbroken, and even if Lu Family Village had mountains of gold and silver, she will no longer manage it; she is now taking care of Shenji. Just wait, the village chief and secretary of Shenji are keeping an eye out. If they knew Shen Meng was setting up a workshop in their village, haha, they’d be overjoyed."

Shen Meng: "......"

That might be a bit of an exaggeration, I’m really not as great as you say, I’m usually focused on being selfish!!

Guo Xiuxin panicked, previously Shen Meng didn’t say those words to her, wasn’t it agreed that once Zhou Jiaojiao and the others couldn’t stir things up and were completely down, she would come back?

What about going to Shenji to help set up a workshop now, and it’s a food supplementary factory?

Zhang Hongfa and Guo Xiuxin felt the same anxiety, their families just started having better days, and now they were about to end. Those aggressive women, now wishing they could bury themselves in the ground, didn’t dare speak or leave in the office.

"That’s the situation, I’ve already signed the agreement with the food supplementary factory, they will arrange for technical personnel to go to the countryside for guidance, all materials will be provided by the factory, and the product minus the material costs and the labor will be priced by our commune, the Cooperative Society will directly pay the food supplementary factory, and our commune will then pay the members of Shenji. This will greatly improve the enthusiasm of the members, I will help a bit, everything will be transparent, no one will suspect me of taking any benefits, but I shall inform you, this is the last time I help the commune set up a workshop. If there are still people complaining about low wages and causing trouble, I will no longer handle affairs for the commune, no one wants to do thankless tasks."

Feng Si hurriedly reassured, and while soothing Zhang Hongfa and Guo Xiuxin, he rolled his eyes.

"Sister-in-law, rest assured, I will personally oversee it this time, don’t say you’re upset, anyone would feel suffocated in this situation. As for the following matters, regarding Lu Family Village’s side, if it really doesn’t work out, just let it be. After all, you’ve already tried your best, no need to keep exhausting yourself."

Impossible, as long as the textile factory continues providing materials, and as long as the Cooperative Society confirms the quality products, they will still sell exceptionally well. Besides, there’s also the big opportunity in the Provincial City. Others might not know, but he does, Shen Meng’s first issue when she came to the commune was about the Head Flower Workshop, even asking him to personally issue an introductory letter for the foreign guests’ matter in the Provincial City.

And to go together with the County Party Secretary, if this gets settled, their Ning County’s textile factory will be the first in the region to earn foreign exchange, making it famous. There might even be reporters coming for interviews, he felt delighted, thinking Lu Zhenping and Shen Meng are truly his benefactors.

Back during his military service, Lu Zhenping was good to him, he retired safely, not to mention during the last battle, he even received a third-class merit.

Now back in his hometown, Shen Meng was helping him become famous and respected, he decided that whenever he saw this couple in the future, he must be extremely polite, solving whatever they needed first!
