Chapter 123 Huddle for Warmth
This book is "Jane Eyre", a novel written by the British female writer Charlotte Bronte.
There were several lesbians in the factory who had high school education. They discussed this book and said that it was a very good book and that women in the new era must read it.
Zhang Shufen was listening to others discussing this book, but she couldn't get a word in. She was particularly envious of those lesbians who read a lot.
She secretly vowed to read this book after get off work, at least she would be able to add a few words to others' conversations in the future.
So after get off work, Zhang Shufen specifically asked the lesbians who had this book at home to borrow it.
Although it was difficult to watch at first, Zhang Shufen became more and more fascinated as she watched.
Now she has been deeply attracted by the story of Jane Eyre, and she can't even hear the sound of Zhang Weidong snoring next to her...

Early in the morning, Liu Xifeng and Wu Xiuzhen looked at Xiuxiu in shock.
Because suddenly there is an extra bookshelf in the factory.
"Xiuxiu, why did you bring a bookshelf here? If you put a bookshelf here, can everyone concentrate on their work?" Liu Xifeng was very surprised.
Xiuxiu smiled and said: "Sister Xifeng, I don't want everyone to just work in the factory. There should also be books to read during breaks. I hope everyone treats this place as their own home."
When Wu Xiuzhen heard this, she immediately understood Xiuxiu and agreed: "Sister Xiuxiu, you are so considerate! If everyone sees that you think about your employees so much, they will definitely be more willing to work hard!"
This group of workers in the factory are all lesbians, and many have never had any work experience.
They lack confidence in themselves and lack self-esteem.
Xiuxiu feels that these lesbians need to supplement some cultural knowledge and enhance their cultural confidence.
Yesterday, she heard the female workers talking about some literary and artistic works, and suddenly came up with the idea of placing bookshelves in the factory.
After hearing her daughter-in-law's idea, Rong Jin immediately went to the army and asked two noncommissioned officers to deliver a bookshelf.
The army has several bookshelves, which are full of military books, and there are too many to read through.
Now it is reasonable to create a bookshelf for lesbians to support lesbians in improving their knowledge and culture!
So Rong Jin not only sent bookshelves over, but also sent over the first batch of books at the same time, mostly classical works such as "A Dream of Red Mansions" and "Journey to the West", as well as some Western works such as "Gone with the Wind" and "Andersen's Fairy Tales".
But a certain instructor in the army was very unhappy.
At this moment, seeing a bookshelf in the army being taken away, Zhang Weidong's eyes widened and he looked at Rong Jin with an expression filled with indignation.
"Lao Gu, you are 'helping the tyranny'!" Zhang Weidong couldn't help complaining.
Rong Jin wrinkled her beautiful eyebrows and arranged the books on the bookshelf with her slender fingers: "'Aiding the evildoers'? Lao Zhang, why did you say this?"
Zhang Weidong shook his head helplessly.
"Zhou" is naturally Liu Xiuxiu.
This is already the third day that Zhang Shufen has stopped cooking and washing his feet. Now he doesn’t have breakfast every day, and he even has to wash the clothes he takes off when he gets home!
This was all caused by Liu Xiuxiu!
If this continues, Zhang Weidong will drink the northwest wind!
Rong Jin is now helping Liu Xiuxiu, isn't he helping the evildoer?
Zhang Weidong finally couldn't bear it anymore and told Rong Jin about the "coup" that had occurred in his family.
Now he doesn't want to lose face anymore, he just wants to live his happy life again!
Zhang Weidong frowned, shook his head and sighed: "Lao Gu, you may not believe it. The illiterate child in my family actually started reading! Guess what she was reading? The British female writer Charlotte
·Bronte's "Jane Eyre"! Do you think a woman can read this kind of book? If she reads this kind of book, will she not be able to pursue freedom and independence like the heroine Jane in it?"
Zhang Weidong got up early this morning and was eating his "pig soup and dog food" at the dining table, when he found a copy of "Jane Eyre" on the table.
He remembered that Zhang Shufen had been reading a book after get off work recently, and it turned out that this was the book she was reading!
This is an ideological rebellion, and I’m afraid I won’t be able to control it in the future!
Zhang Weidong was so frightened that he thought about it and hid the book after eating.
Rong Jin laughed loudly after hearing this and patted Zhang Weidong on the shoulder: "Old Zhang, you are a typical example of being too controlling. Real love should encourage each other and grow together, rather than one party being afraid of the other's growth. Shu
Fen has started to grow up mentally, which is a good thing. You should keep up with her and not be afraid that she will not be under your control when she becomes independent. She is an independent person."
Zhang Weidong pondered Rong Jin's words.
He understands the principles, but it is really difficult to do it!
Just like this person in his family, once he becomes "rebellious" in thought, he will pursue family status in action and become equal to him.
In the past, Zhang Weidong had the status of an uncle in the family, but now Zhang Shufen asked to be equal to him, and he couldn't accept it for a while!
Rong Jin also took out a book from the bookshelf and handed it to Zhang Weidong: "Old Zhang, please read this book. It has been reform and opening up, and your thoughts about men and women are still stuck in the old times!"
When Zhang Weidong finally looked at the book, it turned out to be a book about intimate relationships written by a Western psychologist.
Zhang Weidong sighed and put the book back.
He is not in the mood to watch now. He only knows that since Rong Jin's wife set up a factory in Ludao, his position in the family is in jeopardy!
If this continues, not to mention his status in the family will be in jeopardy, and even his family will be in jeopardy!
Zhang Weidong frowned and pondered for a long time, then suddenly his eyes lit up and he said to Rong Jin: "Lao Gu, can you tell your wife not to let him run any factories? What's the trouble for a woman? Women run factories,
What will people think if you tell me?
It makes you look like a coward. You have no ability, and you still want your wife to go out and make money. Rong Jin, please persuade your wife to close that factory. In this way, you can save your face.
I also kept my family status."
After Zhang Weidong finished speaking, he looked at Rong Jin expectantly.
He thought that the only way to get Zhang Shufen to return to the family was to win over Rong Jin!
Now that women have united to pursue careers, men should also unite to keep warm!
As long as Rong Jin can be persuaded to oppose Liu Xiuxiu and the factory is closed, Zhang Shufen will naturally return to her family!
Therefore, Zhang Weidong tried his best to persuade Rong Jin to win Rong Jin into his camp.
"Lao Gu, you can't let your wife show up outside all day long! When opening a factory, you have to deal with many men. Think about how your wife has to deal with so many men. If she becomes prosperous by then, what will happen to her?
