Old Mrs. Xia took Qiao Shan and followed Jiang Wenhua to send his sister and his mother back to the compound, and then turned left and right and came to a house.
Just as Jiang Wenhua was about to knock on the door, Old Lady Xia suddenly stopped him. "Xiao Jiang, don't knock yet. Let me ask you first. If someone wakes you up and comes to settle the score, will you scold them or hit them?"
Jiang Wenhua said viciously: "Scold first and then beat."
Old Lady Xia: "You rushed over! You were so impulsive! That's not like you at all. You just said you'd call the police if you had any problems, but now you're just doing it yourself. What if they accuse you of hitting them and ask you to pay money and go to jail?"
Jiang Wenhua was furious: "They beat my sister so badly. Besides, this is a family matter. Why should the police intervene?"
Old Mrs. Xia: "Your mother didn't get divorced? Wasn't she kicked out? How can it be considered a family matter?"
Jiang Wenhua whispered, "They're not divorced, otherwise my mom would be the first person to get divorced in our area. They're not divorced, but they don't live together anymore."
Old Lady Xia: "I'll say one more thing, please wait a moment."
Jiang Wenhua lowered his raised hand and said, "Hurry up, I'm so angry now and I need to vent it on them."
Old Lady Xia: "With your sister's brain and your stepfather's brain, are you sure that after you beat them, your sister and your stepfather will stand by you? What if they help your brother-in-law and his family? Not only will you have to pay compensation, but you will also have to apologize. You are an adult now, you can't act recklessly like a child."
Jiang Wenhua calmed down instantly, as if a large basin of ice water had been poured over him in the middle of winter, chilling him to the bone. Old Xia was right; his muddled third sister and his kindly stepfather were not normal people at all.
Not only will he not be appreciated for his efforts and money, he may even have to pay a large sum of money.
Jiang Wenhua turned around and walked back. Old Mrs. Xia called the confused Qiao Shan to go back with her.
"I'm really so angry, so angry, Lao Xia. What should I do? I'm really mad to death." Even someone as smart as Jiang Wenhua would lose his mind when he meets a family member he cares about.
Old Mrs. Xia: "I think before we can persuade your sister, we have to change your stepfather's mindset first. Your sister should be more obedient to your father. Let's deal with your father first, and then talk about your sister."
This was the first time that Old Lady Xia had thought so carefully and felt that she was very smart, but when she turned around and saw Jiang Wenhua, she found that his face was full of despair.
"What's wrong?" Old Mrs. Xia asked weakly.
Jiang Wenhua: "My stepfather must have been a stubborn ass in his previous life, previous life, and previous life. Even if you put a knife to his neck, he wouldn't change."
Old Lady Xia: "Even harder to deal with than your sister?"
Jiang Wenhua: "Of course, otherwise my sister wouldn't have been so easily taken advantage of by him."
Old Lady Xia was also beginning to despair. She felt that she might not be suitable for the position of Director of Women's Affairs. If she really became the Director, she might not live to retire at the age of fifty-five, facing such problems every day.
It's so infuriating.
Jiang Wenhua suddenly changed direction, "I can't stand it anymore. I'm going to have a fight with my dad, otherwise I'm going to be so angry that I'm going to get stuck in my stomach. Lao Xia, Comrade Qiao, you guys go back to the compound. Lao Xia, if you still have the energy, please help me persuade my sister."
Mrs. Xia: "I don't have the energy anymore."
The next morning, Old Lady Xia saw Jiang Wenhua coming out of the house looking refreshed. Seeing Old Lady Xia, he greeted her in a good mood, "Old Xia, let's go to work together?"
Old Lady Xia walked with him, "Did everything go well yesterday?"
Jiang Wenhua straightened his chest and said, "Of course I did. I made that old guy so angry that he picked up a stick and chased me for three blocks."
Old Lady Xia laughed, "Did you persuade him?"
Jiang Wenhua: "I can't persuade her, I'm just venting my anger. Oh, what should I do with my sister? I didn't dare to talk to her this morning, for fear that she would get angry again early in the morning."
Old Lady Xia looked into the distance, and suddenly she wanted to ask Jiang Wenhua for her opinion on how she could become the director of women's affairs. "Xiao Jiang, do you think someone like me can be the director of women's affairs?"
Jiang Wenhua's mouth suddenly closed, and then hesitantly asked, "Old Xia, are you addicted to power now?"
Old Lady Xia: "Not really, I just think there are so many people like your sister, and maybe... maybe I can help them jump out of that quagmire."
Jiang Wenhua: "It's just like how you instigated those girls in your workshop, trying to get them to make a fuss and fight for some so-called rights."
Old Lady Xia: "What are these so-called rights? They are the rights they should have, but they were taken away by someone, and then they were told that these rights are not what they should have wanted."
Jiang Wenhua was silent.
Old Lady Xia continued, "I just don't want them to be tied to someone else for their entire lives, thinking they were meant to be born for their families and pursue their own lives. That would make them rebellious. Xiao Jiang, if I want to climb up and help those people, will you help me? How can I do that?"
Jiang Wenhua pursed his lips. "Lao Xia, I admit that our cooperation is indeed very harmonious. However, I am a man. Why do you think I would let someone like you climb up and harm the interests of gay men? You said so much, but it is nothing more than saying that lesbians contribute too much to the family, and gay men are the ones who reap the benefits.
But how could you forget that I'm one of them? Honestly, I think your rise to power would be detrimental to gay men, so why did you think I would help you? Your influence on others is indeed greater than that of the average person, so if you could affect my life in the future, I wouldn't be able to help you.
After saying that, Jiang Wenhua left.
He was very clear in his mind. Cooperation was cooperation, but he was a little more considerate of marriage and family than other men. He did not want his wife to give everything for the family, but treated her as fairly as possible.
However, if Lao Xia climbs up and uses her ideas to influence more people, especially those around her, such as Comrade Xiao Fang, and many female comrades are unwilling to stay at home and start competing with male comrades, then in the end it will affect him no matter what.
He has never been a selfless person since he was a child. When he considers things, he always puts himself first and then his family. Lao Xia climbing up and the female comrades climbing up have no benefits for him. Instead, there are some unknown disadvantages and subsequent developments that he cannot control.
He didn't want to, he preferred to be able to guess the outcome of everything.
He walked away from Old Lady Xia and no longer walked with her.
