Beautiful beauties in the 80s courtyard

Chapter 177 Let's see who dares to talk about Qiao Ge?
Lu Qiaoge stood in the corridor and said softly, "Aunt Lin, I'll talk to Deputy Director Huang this afternoon."

Lu Qiaoge then took Fan Xiaoyu to the water room, which is the bathroom, to wash up.

After getting ready, Lu Qiaoge took her to a state-run restaurant for dinner.

One bowl of egg noodles for each person.

Fan Xiaoyu was embarrassed and didn't know what to say. Lu Qiaoge told her not to feel guilty, as her company would reimburse the expense.

Fan Xiaoyu was skeptical, but Lu Qiaoge was good at dispelling her concerns, telling her to eat as much as she wanted and not to worry about owing favors. She said that she would have the ability one day and could help others to repay the organization's help.

These words made Fan Xiaoyu's eyes light up immediately.

Yes, when she has the ability, she can also help people like Lu Qiaoge.

She ate her noodles with peace of mind, no longer filled with anxiety. As long as she was willing to work hard, there would always be a day when she would be rewarded.

Lu Qiaoge settled the person into a ward and then returned to her workplace, which was already past working hours.

She needs to report this matter to Director Hu and Deputy Director Huang, especially Deputy Director Huang, because this is her responsibility.

Just as Lu Qiaoge thought, her actions at the time were correct and she received praise from both of them.

As for how to proceed, it's still a bit difficult.

The military factory has staff dormitories, but those are for factory workers.

Even setting aside the fact that Fan Xiaoyu was an unemployed educated youth returning to the city, not even a street office cadre like Lu Qiaoge was qualified to live there.

So don't even think about employee dormitories.

It's often said that many officials are unwilling to manage affairs. When you don't manage anything, at most people will say you're mediocre, incompetent, and just getting by. But if you actually take charge, a lot of trouble will come your way later.

Just like Fan Xiaoyu, if Lu Qiaoge didn't care, she would be doing whatever she was supposed to be doing now, and she wouldn't be unable to go home for lunch.

But now that we're in charge, we have to consider many factors, such as whether the Fan family will let Fan Xiaoyu go back. If she doesn't go back, where should she go after she's discharged from Chenggou?
After all, she's not married and doesn't have a boyfriend. Can a single young woman rent an apartment?
Not having a job means no income, which means she can't survive.

This is the consequence of interfering.

Of course, neither the two directors nor Lu Qiaoge would think that way.

Sister Hua said to Sister Qiao, "Qiao Ge is still too young. Even if she saw something like this, there's no need to take her away. Just criticize and educate the Fan family, let them know that what they did was wrong, and then Qiao Ge can go about her business. Why worry about it? Sometimes the more you do, the more mistakes you make. Look at so-and-so..."

Sister Hua gave a meaningful look to Officer Cao, who was sitting next to the filing cabinet.

Sister Qiao glanced at him and then looked away. This person was a relative of the old factory director and had been assigned to the street office, but he didn't like to get involved in anything and would avoid things whenever possible.

They may not be recognized as outstanding, but they don't make any mistakes either.

There's nothing you can do about someone like that.

Sister Qiao also thought Qiao Ge was a bit silly, always rushing forward on his own initiative.

A few breaths later, Sister Qiao suddenly said with a somber expression, "If... Xiuxiu had met Lu Qiaoge, perhaps she wouldn't have died."

Sister Hua's expression changed immediately.

After Lu Qiaoge left, Lao Huang sighed and said to Lao Hu, "Qiaoge did the right thing. No matter what others say, we two must support her."

Old Hu nodded: "Don't worry, I'm grooming her to be my successor."

Looking out the window, Huang Juan suddenly said, "Do you still remember Xiuxiu?"

Old Hu's face darkened. Of course he remembered; that year, he and Old Huang had just been transferred to the subdistrict office to begin their work.

At that time, I was unfamiliar with everything, and it was like being forced into something I wasn't prepared for.

At that time, there were no high-rise buildings yet; it was all a large area of ​​single-story houses. The street office was just a few tents set up as offices.

Every day, just like now, all sorts of things happen.

Xiuxiu and Fan Xiaoyu have very similar family situations.

Both her parents were factory workers. Her two older brothers got married one after another. After Xiuxiu's sister-in-law gave birth to the Zhou family's eldest grandson, she felt that she could take charge of the family.

She arranged for Xiuxiu to marry a mentally challenged man and accepted a gold bracelet from him in return.

Xiuxiu disagreed, and her family pressured her, including her own parents.

Huang Juan and Sister Hua went to handle the matter together. After criticizing the Zhou family's behavior, they kindly persuaded Xiuxiu, who was crying and didn't want to go back, to be sent to her mother.

At that time, my thought was that no matter what, we were family.

But who would have thought that her mother felt her daughter was going to get married sooner or later, and that her daughter was a useless burden who would cost her money. She felt that the Zhou family had raised her for more than ten years and that she should repay them.

Besides, what's wrong with being an idiot? Being an idiot is great! They don't hit people, they can be in charge as soon as they enter the house, and after the New Year they'll give birth to a big, healthy boy. Then the good days will begin!

So that very night, they knocked Xiuxiu unconscious and sent her to the mentally challenged man's house.

The idiot's family lived in the neighboring county. Huang Juan and Sister Hua heard about it three days later because the idiot's family came to report the death of Xiuxiu. Xiuxiu had been beaten to death by the idiot.

Instead of being afraid, the family went to the Zhou family to get the gold bracelet back, because that's when they learned that Xiuxiu had lost it on her wedding night.

She was only seventeen years old. Such a beautiful flower hadn't even had a chance to bloom before her family sent her to hell.

This incident has always made Huang Juan and Sister Hua feel guilty.

However, they often feel powerless when faced with such phenomena and deeply ingrained beliefs.

Huang Juan wiped away her tears and said to Lao Hu, "We can't control what people say behind people's backs, but let's see who dares to talk about Qiao Ge to her face?"

Old Hu said, "Qiao Ge just said she would handle Fan Xiaoyu's matter, but we can't just stand by and watch. You go to the Fan family, scold them if you need to, and if they don't listen to advice, go to the Fan brothers' workplaces to report it. I'll go to the grain bureau and then to the factory to ask what procedures are needed to reopen the night school..."

The two directors went about their own business, and Lu Qiaoge was unaware of the content of their conversation. She was currently thinking about Fan Xiaoyu's arrangements.

Sister Hua stopped Lu Qiaoge and said gently, "Qiaoge, what do you want to do with Fan Xiaoyu?"

Lu Qiaoge sat at her desk, flipping through her notes.

It was hot, so the animals didn't go out; they mostly stayed inside Lu Qiaoge's house, enjoying the cool breeze.

Lu Qiaoge rarely gets a moment of peace and quiet.

She has already come up with a plan.

"Sister Hua, Chengou will need another half a month before he can be discharged from the hospital. As long as Fan Xiaoyu agrees, she will have a place to stay for the next half month. Also, the place where Fan Xiaoyu was sent to work in the countryside is in the south, where a skilled old lady taught her bamboo weaving."

She said that her woven pen holders had caught the eye of the comrade in charge of foreign trade at a trade fair organized by the county last year, but unfortunately, she didn't hear back about them for some reason. However, as long as she had the skill, joining the weaving group wouldn't be a problem. As for accommodation, she could discuss that in half a month.

Lu Qiaoge analyzed that the pen holder must have been intercepted.

However, there may be no sales channels and therefore no foreign exchange earnings.

Sister Hua laughed: "Fan Xiaoyu can actually do bamboo weaving? That's wonderful! She's practically homeless right now. She'd be so happy to have a job."
