Reborn in the ’80s as a Group Favorite Bigshot – Chapter 30

Chapter 30: She Really Has the Audacity to Say That

Song Chu looked at the pile of tea oil fruit on the ground.

She said to Song Lao Si and Song Lao Er, “You two, press these into oil.”

When she was operating the machine just now, she called Song Lao Si to her side to watch. She taught him several times, so he should know how to use it.

“Why should we do the pressing? You should have kept a few villagers here just now,” Song Lao Er didn’t want to move.

Song Lao Si wasn’t interested either, “That’s right.”

Song Chu raised her eyebrows and said, “I brought you to pick these from the mountain. The oil pressed out will definitely belong to the family. If you don’t want to do it, I’ll let the villagers do it and then share it with them.”

When Song Lao Er and Song Lao Si heard this, their laziness disappeared. “Little Sister, are you saying that the oil pressed is ours?”

“It’s not yours, it’s the family’s,” Song Chu said, “Lao Si can take it to the city to exchange for some malt extract, sugar, meat, canned food, biscuits, and other things.”

Now that she was here, she certainly wouldn’t mistreat herself and her family when it came to food.

Song Lao Si knew many people in the black market and believed that he could exchange oil for a lot of food.

“That’s great.” Song Lao Er got excited at the mention of food.

Song Lao Si, thinking about selling and exchanging more oil for things, also got excited. “Little Sister, don’t worry, leave it to us. We’ll press all this oil in a while.”

Song Chu knew this was how they were, “Alright, I’ll leave it to you.”

“Big Brother, go to the Educated Youth Point and carry Educated Youth Gu over here,” she said to Song Lao Da.

Song Lao Da scratched his head, “Why do we need to carry Educated Youth Gu over here?”

Did Little Sister want to show off the oil press to Educated Youth Gu? But that wouldn’t make Educated Youth Gu like her, right?

Song Chu saw him overthinking and said speechlessly, “Because two of the oil presses inside are broken. Educated Youth Gu is the only one in the village who can fix them.”

“Hurry up and go. How did I give birth to such a dunderhead?” Tang Feng slapped him again.

Song Lao Da rubbed his arm in pain, “I’m going now.”

Song Da Sao was a little unhappy that her man was slapped again, but she didn’t say anything, thinking that she still needed to ask Little Sister for a favor.

“Mom, you cook dinner. When it’s ready, have Second Sister-in-law deliver it here,” Song Chu planned to stay here and fix the machines with Gu Yue.

Tang Feng smiled and said, “Okay, the work at the pigsty is already done. I’ll go back and cook now. You must be hungry after a long day.”

If it were anyone else making such a request, she would have slapped them long ago. But with her daughter, she only felt sorry for her.

Tang Feng left, and Song Youfu followed.

Song Lao Er and Song Lao Si were pressing oil, and Song Da Sao came over, “Little Sister, you see, this oil pressing workshop needs people to work. Can you give me a spot?”

Song Chu looked at her meaningfully and said, “Big Sister, when did you become so proactive and motivated?”

Her eldest sister-in-law wasn’t exactly lazy, but she usually didn’t do more than she had to.

Song Da Sao was taken aback. This little sister-in-law really didn’t know how to talk nicely. “Isn’t it because I also want to earn some oil and things to subsidize household expenses?”

She wasn’t sure if the oil could be exchanged for cloth, sugar, etc., as Little Sister said, but if she worked, she would definitely get some oil.

Her family was also short on oil, and her mother-in-law was strict. It was unlikely that she could take oil from home to give to them.

Song Chu said with a half-smile, “The main point is to subsidize your family, right?”

Before her eldest sister-in-law got married, she was brainwashed by her family, a typical “brother-supporting demon.” She would send any good things to her brothers, even if she had to go without herself.

“What are you talking about?” Song Da Sao’s thoughts were exposed by Song Chu, and she smiled.

She had seen how Little Sister beat people up earlier, so she didn’t dare to act as shrewish as she used to.

◈◈◈

Song Chu thought for a moment and said, “Big Sister, I’m not in charge of this. You go register with Eldest Maternal Uncle. If you get selected, I have no objection.”

“You’re in charge of the oil pressing workshop. Isn’t it up to you to decide who works there?” Song Da Sao was a little unhappy.

Song Chu didn’t care about her mood. This was another one who needed to be reformed. “I’m an upright person. I don’t like favoritism. Besides, this oil pressing workshop already belongs to the production brigade’s collective. I can’t do such a thing and be criticized behind my back.”

She continued seriously, “Big Sister, as a member of our family, your ideological awareness is too low. You need to reflect on yourself. Otherwise, you’ll drag the family down sooner or later, and we won’t stand for that.”

“That’s right, Big Sister, your ideological awareness is problematic. Don’t drag the family down,” Song Lao Er said, looking up.

Song Lao Si agreed, “Big Sister, you’re really out of line. Go back and reflect on yourself.”

“……” Song Da Sao’s face was flushed, completely out of anger.

The three most idle troublemakers in the family, who always wanted to take shortcuts, were accusing her of low ideological awareness and dragging the family down. What kind of world was this? It was so infuriating.

Especially Song Chu, who actually said she was upright. She really has the audacity to say that. Her face is thicker than mine.

Song Chu urged her, “Big Sister, hurry up and register. You might not get selected if you’re late.”

Song Da Sao’s face darkened when she saw that she wouldn’t help. She huffed and turned to leave.

There were many people around the village office, and many people were registering.

But apart from the big man from before, Song Chu’s cousin, and her cousin’s cousin, very few strong and hardworking men registered.

They and their families were still on the fence. Who knew if what Song Chu said was true? They felt that taking oil to exchange for things with big factories wouldn’t be easy.

As deep-rooted farmers, the state-owned factories in the county town seemed a bit out of reach for them.

Going up the mountain would take time away from their work points. They were hesitant and planned to wait and see how the oil pressing workshop went for a while.

On the other hand, many people who were usually idle and didn’t like to work registered.

Many women registered to work at the workshop. After all, they didn’t have to go up the mountain, and it wouldn’t interfere with their work points. Even if they couldn’t exchange for those things in the end, getting some extra oil would be good.

Tang Min believed that his niece could exchange for the things she said, but he couldn’t make everyone in the village believe it. Only the facts could prove it later.

On the other side, Song Lao Da quickly carried Gu Yue to the oil pressing workshop.

Song Chu looked at him and asked, “Do you need help finding a chair to sit on while you fix it?”

“No need, I’ll be fine standing for a while. It’s not convenient to work while sitting,” Gu Yue got off Song Lao Da’s back. His legs hurt when he walked, but standing was fine.

Song Chu nodded, “Take a look and see if you can fix it. If you can, there’s no need to rush. You can come over every day and work on it a little. Your recovery is the priority.”

The reason she asked Gu Yue to come now was also to confirm whether he had the ability to fix it.

If he couldn’t fix it, she would have to go to the county town tomorrow to find someone who could.

Gu Yue could see through her plan, “Alright, I’ll take a look first.”

He chose an oil press, took out his tools, started to disassemble it, and carefully inspected it to find the problem.

Song Chu stood by and watched. She found that he was skilled and knew what he was doing. He was indeed good at this.
