Seeing Qiu Rong's clueless look, Jiang Wenhua was going crazy. "Sister, our Lao Xia is the smartest comrade in the entire compound and the entire textile factory. She's told you this, but you won't listen at all? You're just like when you were little. I have to explain your homework to you several times before you can understand it. Can you please pay attention now?"
Qiu Rong: "I'm listening."
Jiang Wenhua: "Then are you going to divorce?"
Qiu Rong: "I won't divorce."
Jiang Wenhua pointed at her, trembling, "Then why did you run out? Why didn't you let him beat you to death?"
Qiu Rong: "I don't want to die."
Jiang Wenhua: "You and our father are exactly the same. You don't listen to good words at all."
Old Lady Xia added, "It seems like they won't listen to bad words."
Jiang Wenhua couldn't stand it anymore and rushed out of the ward, slamming the door.
Several people in the room heard Jiang Wenhua being scolded by the nurse outside.
Old Mrs. Xia sighed, thinking of what Director Yuan had said when she came to see her. If she wanted to be the director of women's affairs in the future, she might encounter people like this and things like this often, so she should just adapt to it in advance.
Jiang's mother was sitting by the bed, wiping her face with hot water. Old Lady Xia pushed her aside and said, "Comrade Qiu Rong, I heard from Xiao Jiang that your marriage to this man was ruined by him. How come you married him later?"
Qiu Rong's voice was hoarse as she recalled that time and said slowly, "After the marriage was ruined, my father was so angry that he kicked Mom and Wenhua out. He then asked a matchmaker to find me another man. But no matter how many he tried, he was no match for me. A month later, he came to my house again, saying that he wanted to give it another try and didn't care about Wenhua's unreasonable behavior at that time."
"......" Old Lady Xia took a deep breath, "Didn't you hear what Xiao Jiang said about that person?"
Qiu Rong: "I heard about it, but my dad said that men grow up after getting married. He loved playing, eating, and drinking back then because he hadn't grown up. He's the only child in the family, so it's normal for others to pamper him a little. He told me to be more accommodating to him after I get married."
Old Mrs. Xia: "Did your father say that?"
Qiu Rong: "Yes, my dad wouldn't lie to me."
Old Lady Xia: "How...how did you get into the factory?"
Qiu Rong was puzzled, but she still answered obediently: "Wenhua gave me tutoring in advance, so..."
Old Lady Xia: "Okay, stop talking, I think I know."
Qiu Rong: "My father said that the most important thing for a woman is to have a good family, and of course having money is also important. So I don't want to give up my job because my husband doesn't pay me. If I lose my job, I'll lose my money too."
Old Lady Xia said with a dull expression, "You're quite clever."
Qiu Rong: "But now I wonder if I made a mistake. If I had given them the job, my child wouldn't be without it."
Old Mrs. Xia stood up and ran outside like Jiang Wenhua. Her hands were itching to pull out Qiu Rong's brain to see what was inside.
Jiang Wenhua was not outside. Old Mrs. Xia walked around for a few times before she saw him smoking at the hospital gate.
"Oh!" Old Mrs. Xia felt that she had sighed too much today.
Jiang Wenhua also sighed, "Is it tiring to talk to her?"
Old Mrs. Xia: "How did your stepfather teach his children?"
Jiang Wenhua: "Who knows? Before my mom and I went there, they were bullied every day and thought that suffering was a blessing. After my mom and I went there, I fought with those people every day, either arguing or fighting, and every time they asked me to apologize."
Mrs. Xia: "Will you apologize?"
Jiang Wenhua: "I will report it to the police."
It sounds even worse than her family. It's a good thing that he has developed such a greedy character. It can be said that he is kind by nature as long as he doesn't have any psychological distortion.
Jiang Wenhua took a deep drag on his cigarette. "I've been a frequent visitor to the Public Security Bureau since I was a child. I'd report every little thing, so gradually they stopped bothering me. After all, no one wants to deal with police officers every day."
Old Lady Xia: "Comrades in Public Security...it's really not easy."
Jiang Wenhua: "I was just a little kid at the time. My stepfather wouldn't stand up for me, my mom was like that, my biological dad died early, and my biological grandparents followed my biological uncle. They were afraid my biological uncle would have a problem with me, so they didn't dare to interact with me much. They were mainly afraid that my biological uncle would think he was giving me money. So, if I couldn't find a solution, wouldn't I be bullied to death?"
Old Mrs. Xia: "I don't quite understand what your stepfather is thinking?"
Jiang Wenhua: "My stepfather...is a good-natured man, but he's turned some good kids into cowards like him. He only wants to hurt his own family, but he's very nice to outsiders, always willing to oblige. I remember one time there were only three sweet potatoes in the house, and with my mom and I, there were seven of us in total. When I got home that night, he'd already given them away."
Old Lady Xia opened her eyes wide, "He wants the whole family to starve to death with him."
Jiang Wenhua: "Sacrifice yourself for others."
Old Lady Xia: "And then?"
Jiang Wenhua: "Old Xia, stop looking like you're watching a good show. It's killing me to continue."
Old Lady Xia restrained her expression and said, "Sorry, please continue."
Jiang Wenhua: "I stood in front of the house where my father's sweet potatoes were taken. I talked to him for an entire afternoon, presenting facts and pretending to be pitiful. In the end, I said that they wanted to kill my family and planned to hang myself in front of his house with my brothers and sisters."
Old Mrs. Xia took a deep breath. He was indeed a ruthless person. He knew how to threaten people at such a young age.
Jiang Wenhua: "Unfortunately, they didn't pay it back in the end. At that time, our family had no food to eat, and even if we were scolded, filling our stomachs was more important. Those years were so difficult. Not only did they not pay it back, but my father also scolded me for several days. He couldn't beat me in scolding, and in the end, I almost made him die of anger."
Old Lady Xia also thought of that time and felt sad. But thinking of Jiang Wenhua's bad mouth, sometimes she couldn't win the argument, so it was normal for his stepfather to be angry to death.
Jiang Wenhua: "And then, there was nothing else. I almost starved to death that year."
Old Lady Xia: "Your dad, eh, I...eh...really..."
Jiang Wenhua: "My dad is quite annoying, let's not talk about him. Anyway, after hearing my tragic story, you have to help me settle the score with them."
Old Lady Xia: "As expected, you still don't want to suffer any loss."
"Let's go." Jiang Wenhua stood up and picked up a stone from the side. "Old Xia, let's go and deal with them."
Old Lady Xia said in panic, "No, it's late at night, who are we going to do to each other? You're alone, and I'm just an old lady. Who can I do to you?"
Jiang Wenhua: "Listen to me, let's take Comrade Qiao Shan with us. He'll just stand there and no one will dare to make a move. Then we'll have the whole world to ourselves. My sister is lying there right now, and the whole family is sleeping soundly. Anyway, I can't get enough of her anger."
Old Lady Xia: "Qiao Shan is a good boy from a respectable family. Don't always use him as a weapon to intimidate people."
Jiang Wenhua: "Old Xia, are you able to do this?"
