"Grandma said that as long as she lived, Mom could not go to live a good life with other people. Mom could only stay here and take care of her. But she never liked Mom. When Dad was around, Grandma always found fault with him. She wouldn't let Dad and Mom sleep in the same room at night. She would always find various excuses to call Dad to her room. My mom couldn't stand life here, so she secretly ran away. When she left, Mom quietly told me that one day she would come back and take us away."
My sister cried as she spoke; it was truly heartbreaking to hear!
The villagers behind were shocked when they heard this. How could this mother-in-law keep her son and daughter-in-law apart? What was she trying to do?
Does she feel that her daughter-in-law stole her son?
Why get your son married then?
It would be so much better if the mother and son could just live together for the rest of their lives.
“After our mother passed away, our grandmother would often take her anger out on us. I want Director Qin to stand up for us and help us divide the family property. I am all grown up now and I can take care of my younger brother.”
The younger brother rushed over and hugged his older sister, crying as he said, "I can protect you too, Director Qin. We just want to be separated from Grandma right now. If we don't, we might not live to see Mom come back for us."
"Where is their grandmother?" Qin Mi looked at the captain next to her, her eyes seeming to say, "You just wait."
The captain was terrified.
The captain immediately pointed to the two women and said, "Go and bring their grandmother over."
After a while, the two children's grandmother was brought over. Qin Mi did not treat her differently because she was an elderly person. In fact, she was not very old. After all, her granddaughter and grandson were not very old, so it could be deduced that she was not very old either.
When the old lady saw her grandson shirtless, she knew that everyone knew about it.
She simply disliked her daughter-in-law, so seeing the two children stirred up a surge of anger within her that she couldn't suppress and just wanted to vent it all out.
“Auntie, don’t you know that abusing children is illegal and a crime? You have already broken the law and will go to jail, do you know that?” In this era, there probably weren’t clear legal provisions, so Wenxi spoke first to remind Qin Mi.
Qin Mi looked at everyone seriously, "Abusing children is indeed a crime. I hope that parents and stepparents can control their temper in the future and choose better ways to educate children. Children are the future of the family, not objects to be destroyed by you, nor are they for you to vent your anger on. If you treat your children like this, don't blame them for being unfilial when you are old. After all, you have not treated your children as human beings."
"If you don't know how to be a parent, don't have children. Since you've decided to have children and expect them to take care of you in your old age, then treat them well."
Qin Mi's words struck everyone's ears as if they were striking their hearts. Yes, most people have children not because they like children, but because they want someone to take care of them in their old age and see them off in death.
But they always curse the children, saying they are here to collect debts. Yet, it is they who need the children, it is they who brought the children into this world to suffer. They need the children's help, they need the children to take care of them, and they need the children to care for them in their old age and see them off in their final days.
If you need someone's help, shouldn't you show the proper attitude?
They never treated their children as equals.
“Since this aunt has so much strength to hit the child, then we can’t waste that strength. We should use it in the right place.” Qin Mi looked at the brigade leader. “Brigade leader, could you please handle the division of the family property for them, and then send this aunt to where she should go? I believe you know where she should go.”
The captain nodded repeatedly, "Yes, I know."
Today, Qin Mi and Wen Xi spent the whole day in this brigade dealing with these family disputes. At least 40% of the families have various unfair issues.
They ate lunch at the brigade leader's house, but Qin Mi took some food from his basket and gave it to the brigade leader. In those days, every family had a hard life, so how could they eat someone else's food for free?
It wasn't until evening that the two returned to the car, giving Wenxi a chance to practice driving at night.
After the car left the village, passed through the narrow road, and entered the main road, Qin Mi asked Wen Xi to pull over. After stopping the car, Wen Xi asked with a puzzled look, "Brother Qin, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Qin Mi smiled helplessly, "Am I that weak?"
"You know your own body best. What does this have to do with being weak?" Wen Xi leaned back. "What exactly happened?"
"I've decided to go back and set up a special team to go to the countryside to handle these issues and educate everyone about the law. There are just too many people in the countryside who don't understand the law. Almost everyone is doing illegal and criminal things, but they don't even have that awareness." Qin Mi felt that the road ahead was long and arduous.
“Don’t even mention the countryside, it’s the same in the city. There are men near my house who beat their wives!” Wen Xi said helplessly. “I think your idea is good, but some people don’t understand and can’t handle it well. Also, new faces may not be respected by everyone. So the team leader must be the kind with prestige. It would be best to go to the countryside to popularize the law together with the public security department.”
"However, this person must be fair, because some people are inherently averse to women and will push all the blame onto women. They won't handle things as decisively as you. For example, the woman who was wrongly accused of being unable to have children today, if it were someone else, they wouldn't agree to her divorce and would only let her continue to suffer in the man's family. But you can't stop working and keep dealing with these things in the countryside, so this team leader selection is a bit difficult."
Everyone's thoughts and perspectives are different. Some people think, "I'd rather tear down ten temples than break up one marriage," while others simply don't put themselves in others' shoes.
“You’re right. Even if we assign ordinary people to handle this, they won’t be able to do it well.” Qin Mi thought for a moment and said, “I will go back and discuss it with everyone in a meeting, and try to come up with a good solution as soon as possible, so that more people can live a better life.”
"Brother Qin, I believe you can definitely make everyone live a good life." Wen Xi said with a smile.
As long as everyone works hard, they will soon be able to live a good life. However, it is uncertain whether everyone will be able to live a good life, because she did not live a good life in her previous life.
As the 1980s dawned, everything was reviving and thriving, yet she was confined to her home, washing clothes and cooking. She was not allowed to take the college entrance exam, attend night school, or do business.
