When Old Mrs. Xia thought of the past, she wanted to slap herself a few times.
What a bullshit saying that a harmonious family brings prosperity. Their family is indeed prosperous, but the foundation of this prosperity is women as nourishment.
Old Mrs. Xia walked out, looked at their messy family, pushed Qiu Rong, who was about to go back with her in-laws, back into Jiang Wenhua's house, and closed the door.
Jiang Wenhua was done with his madness, and he hadn't expected Old Xia to show up at this time. He thought that what he had said that morning was enough to offend Old Xia, and that she might just ignore him the next time she saw him.
But she still came out, for the feudal dregs of his family.
Father Qiu was puzzled about Old Lady Xia's identity. When he came here several times before, Old Lady Xia had not moved in yet, so it was not surprising that he had never seen her before.
Old Lady Xia: "You've been arguing for so long, and it seems to be useless. Xiao Jiang won't let you take his sister away, and you, as Comrade Qiu's biological father, insist on letting your daughter die. You're arguing and stalemate, so I came to take a look."
When Mr. Qiu heard this, he was furious: "What do you mean I'm sending my daughter to die? She's my daughter, how can I not feel bad?"
Old Lady Xia: "Your daughter is so skinny that she can scare people by pretending to be a ghost even without any disguise. She is abused like this and still says those things. It's hard not to suspect that your son-in-law is your biological son and your daughter was adopted."
Father Qiu: "How could it be that you, an old comrade, just love to break up other people's happy families?"
Old Lady Xia: "I don't see what's so good about your daughter's family. Why don't you tell me about it?"
Father Qiu: "Her husband has a job and is capable."
Old Lady Xia: "As a result, he starved his wife to this state."
Father Qiu: "My daughter's parents-in-law are praised by everyone for their good character."
Old Lady Xia: "In the end, their daughter, who was perfectly healthy, got married and had a miscarriage, so she had to desperately escape and beg her brother for help."
Father Qiu: "My son-in-law's family is full of brothers and sisters who are respectful to each other."
Old Lady Xia: "He only treats his brothers as human beings, but treats his wife as an animal."
Father Qiu was really angry. Why did she retort to everything he said? "It's my family's business. Why do you, an outsider, care about it? What do you know?"
Old Mrs. Xia: "Because he can't convince me and can't prove his daughter's happiness, this useless old father can only use the all-purpose words of "outsiders have no right to interfere."
Father Qiu panted hard, "Wenhua, who is she?"
Jiang Wenhua had been moved when Old Lady Xia came out to help her. When she heard Father Qiu's question, she replied, "She is the leader of our compound. Everything that happens in our compound is under her control."
Old Mrs. Xia was bewildered. When did she become a leader? If she had to be one, she would be the director of women's affairs. Who would want to be the leader of this troublesome compound? Then what did she become? The king of troublemakers?
But Mr. Qiu obviously believed it. When ordinary people saw their situation, they would have hidden away and watched the fun. Who would be so loyal as to stand up and help? He might not only fail to help but also get himself into trouble.
"Comrade, this is a matter concerning my daughter and son-in-law's family. It should not belong to this compound." Father Qiu saw that Old Lady Xia had a dark face and knew from the words she had just retorted to him that she was not someone to be trifled with, so he planned to reason with her first.
Old Lady Xia suddenly raised her chin, looking proud. "Comrade, although your daughter is a family matter, I can't just watch a good young girl being pushed into the fire pit by you. To be honest, I really can't believe that you are her biological daughter."
Father Qiu: "How can I not be her biological child? I can show you the household registration book."
Old Lady Xia: "I won't watch it. Do you know that your daughter will die if she goes back to the place she is in now? Their family can harm your daughter like this. Even if she goes back, they will not change their bad habits."
Qiu Rong's husband suddenly popped up and said unconvincedly, "How could I possibly harm someone? If she hadn't had a health problem, I wouldn't have been childless for all these years."
Old Lady Xia looked at the dark circles under his eyes and asked, "Why do I think there's something wrong with you? Have you been to the hospital?"
Qiu Rong's husband: "I'm a grown man, so what can be wrong with that? Giving birth is a woman's job."
Father Qiu also said, "Lady, please stop confusing right and wrong. You're blaming men for your inability to have children. If you tell anyone about it, they'll all laugh at you."
Old Mrs. Xia rolled her eyes. "Let's go to the hospital now and listen to the doctor. Is having a child related to a man? If it's not related to a man, then she can have a child with anyone. As long as the child has your family name, it's your child, right?"
Qiu Rong's husband's face turned green, "You actually want my wife to cheat on me."
Old Lady Xia: "I didn't say that. You were the ones who said it had nothing to do with men. If it doesn't matter, women can give birth to children on their own. Why should they have sex with you?"
Qiu Rong's husband's face suddenly turned red again. What was wrong with this old lady? She even said such words in public. "You are so old, how can you not feel ashamed?"
Old Lady Xia: "You look like a decent young man, but why are you talking nonsense? Didn't you just say that a woman giving birth has nothing to do with a man? So I said that if it doesn't matter, then we can stop having sex. Is there a problem with that? So I said, a woman can give birth to a child with anyone, anyway, it has nothing to do with the man. As long as it's your wife's child, it's your child. Is there a problem with that?"
Jiang Wenhua cheered from the side, "Yes, there is absolutely no problem with that."
Old Mrs. Xia rolled her eyes at him.
Mr. Qiu and Qiu Rong's husband wanted to refute, but they didn't know how. Anyway, they felt that what Old Lady Xia said was problematic, but they couldn't think of any words to refute.
Father Qiu: "You are making a crooked argument."
Old Lady Xia: "Old man, tell me, does a woman's childbirth have anything to do with her husband?"
Father Qiu held it in for a long time, fearing that his daughter would hear it and really cheat on his son-in-law. In that case, he would just find a rope and hang himself. So, he had no choice but to say, "It does matter."
Old Lady Xia: "Since it is related, I said that your son-in-law is ill. Is there anything wrong with what I said?"
Qiu Rong's husband yelled, "There's no way I have a problem. I'm very strong."
Old Mrs. Xia paused for a moment. She was as shy as a young boy just now, but now she opened her mouth and spoke fiercely. It turned out that this was a man's weak spot.
"You're so vigorous, but you can't have children?"
Qiu Rong's husband: "I told you, there's something wrong with my wife's health. She's so thin, she definitely can't get pregnant."
Old Lady Xia: "She's frail, and as a husband, you don't pay for her nourishment? Has she been this frail since she was a child, or has she become so frail because of abuse in your family? Either way, it's your fault as a husband. If she's frail, then you, as a husband, don't support your wife, and you have a mental problem. If she's fine, and you haven't had children for several years, then it's your fault. Am I clear enough?"
