70s factory beauty, transform villain cubs to become rich

Chapter 396 The Women's Federation's First Scene
The Women's Federation held a theatrical performance in the auditorium, but the auditorium had limited seating, so the factory workers had to go in batches.

Director Lin was so busy he was practically running around.

The closer it gets to the performance time, the easier it is to make mistakes.

Several actors were too nervous to go on stage, and there was no way to change things at the last minute, so we could only persuade them.

"Director Lin, actually I'm not just nervous, it's because after I told my family about this role, they all told me not to take it."

Wang Xiuyun lowered her head and bit her lip.

She's going to play the female lead in "The Chains in the Work Point Book".

The central theme of this play is: economic violence.

Her parents felt sorry for her when they heard the first part, but they thought the second part would affect her chances of getting married.

Director Lin: "So, do you want to act?"

"I have no idea……"

Wang Xiuyun lowered her head.

She wanted to act.

But she herself was a sent-down youth who returned home due to illness, and therefore had no place in her family.

The only way out is to get married.

If this road is blocked, and her family kicks her out, then she will have no way out.

Director Lin asked, "What are you worried about?"

"After I acted in this play, it will be very difficult for me to get married..."

Wang Xiuyun lowered her head.

Director Lin assured you: "If you perform well, I'll arrange a date for you afterwards!"

"really?"

Wang Xiuyun was overjoyed.

"Of course!"

Director Lin finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she was willing to act.

Wang Xiuyun has no desire for men.

But she really needs a place to stay.
Director Lin reassured the actors, hoping they could perform well in this grand performance.

She was making preparations in full swing.

After get off work, Chen Qing came to the auditorium to help with the organization, and also took on the role of host for the first session with Director Lin.

People started arriving at the auditorium at six o'clock. Some who weren't invited came to join the fun and looked out the windows, while the auditorium was packed with people.

Chen Qing glanced at his watch and stepped onto the stage precisely on time: "Hello comrades, I am Chen Qing."

The crowd applauded and burst into laughter.

She's really become the factory's full-time host.

Deng Meihua and Liu Guangsheng, who were sitting in the first row, also looked at Chen Qing. Liu Guangsheng said, "Director Chen really holds many positions."

Deng Meihua: "We should give her more benefits."

Liu Guangsheng: "???"

He didn't mean that.

But he couldn't stop it.

What if Chen Qing finds out and retaliates against him?
On stage, Chen Qing had already finished introducing the first scene.

The props team began setting up the scene.

People showed unprecedented excitement about the unknown.

"I wonder what the Women's Federation is going to perform?"

"Yeah, it's been a long time since I've seen a play."

"I heard there are eight scenes in total, it's sure to be a great watch!"

……

The auditorium was filled with a noisy discussion.

Talia also arrived.

Chen Qing specifically asked her to come and watch this play.

So she came wearing a wig.

The curtain on the stage slowly opened.

The background is a simple farmhouse with faded newspapers crookedly pasted on the wall and farm tools piled in the corner.

A dim kerosene lamp was the only light source, casting a grotesque and enormous shadow.

Wang Xiuyun dragged her tired body home from work, her cotton-padded coat patched on the shoulders. She carefully took out her work point book from her bosom and handed it to her husband, Li Dazhuang, who was sitting with his legs crossed and picking his teeth.

Li Dazhuang snatched it away, flipping through it with a clatter, and snorted coldly: "Hmph! Eight work points? Even Wang Mazi's wife next door earns nine! You good-for-nothing! You're just eating my food for free!"

Spit almost landed on Wang Xiuyun's face.

Wang Xiuyun flinched, her voice barely audible: "Today... today Xiaoya had a fever, so I came home a little earlier."

The people sitting down had furrowed brows.

What's wrong with this guy?

His wife can earn eight centimeters, and he still complains!
Wang Xiuyun asked cautiously, "Can I take Xiaoya to see a doctor?"

"Do you want money? Do you think I don't know what you're thinking? Do you think the little money you earn is enough? If it weren't for me holding this family together, it would have fallen apart long ago!"
All you do all day is ruin this family with your good-for-nothing son. It's just a cough, what's the big deal?

Do you think barefoot doctors are so great? They've killed so many people! Going there is just throwing money away! I'm doing this for your own good, don't you understand?

Li Dazhuang cursed angrily.

Wang Xiuyun held her daughter and cried, "I beg you, my child is coughing up blood. If we don't go soon, something really bad will happen to her."

"What's wrong? They're just kids. My brothers are coming over for drinks later, so hurry up and tidy up the place and make a couple of snacks to go with them."

Where is Xiaoya?

"She's so young, her body is definitely new, what could possibly be wrong with her? Look at us, we've seen the doctor several times but never once, and we're still perfectly healthy! Go quickly!"

"I……"

"Are you going or not?"

Li Dazhuang grabbed a wooden stick and punched her directly in the thin back.

"Cough cough cough..."

The child coughed so hard he bent over, covering his mouth with a handkerchief.

When unfolded again—

The lights suddenly focused!

In the center of the handkerchief was a glaring, sticky, scarlet stain!

A collective gasp rippled through the audience!
"brute!"

"It's your own flesh and blood!"

"Are you even human?!"

……

Curses erupted from the audience.

Some female comrades were particularly indignant.

"Is she stupid? She can earn money herself, yet she still gives it to a man. Not only that, she can't even take care of her own child!"

"What's the point of this marriage if it only harms the child and keeps the man away!"

"The child is about to die, who cares about men? Go after him!"

……

They had seen plays about women's federations before, and most of them ended at this point, letting everyone know about the experiences of lesbians.

Then write a happy ending, where the heroine redeems everything with love. This is the most conventional approach and what everyone likes to see the most. Otherwise, the story ends abruptly, telling everyone that you can't do that, and that this is a negative example.

When Wang Xiuyun saw her daughter's blood on stage, she trembled like a leaf.

Seeing his wife, who was always praised, so frightened, Li Dazhuang felt a surge of satisfaction: "You want money, right? I'll give you money!"

A dozen or so bills fell, as if to humiliate Wang Xiuyun, slowly descending from above her head.

Wang Xiuyun was about to pick it up when her daughter grabbed her hand.

The little girl's eyes were lifeless as she looked at her father and asked, "Dad, if I die... will it save money... so Mom won't have to work?"

The audience was stunned; some were so moved that they burst into tears.

Wang Xiuyun's body trembled violently, and she let out a piercing scream, "Ah—"

Amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, she didn't pick up the money, but instead pounced on Li Dazhuang, trying to snatch the work points book.

Li Dazhuang was knocked off balance by the attack and cursed, "You bitch, you've really gone too far!"

Ignoring everything, Wang Xiuyun grabbed the work point book and tore it to shreds.

She was like a mother beast driven to the brink of despair, tearing at things frantically!

The scraps of paper, like fragments of a broken chain, fluttered and fell between her fingers!

It landed on Li Dazhuang's astonished face, on the blood-stained handkerchief, and on the cold ground.

Wang Xiuyun stared intently at him: "This is Xinhua Country now. I can earn money with my own hands. We are partners, not me depending on you! Today, I'm going to make sure my daughter lives!"
