After parting ways with the child, Fang Yingdi remained silent on the way back.
Jiang Wenhua kept self-righteously comforting her the whole way, "I told you there's no need to go back. Look at you, isn't this just a waste of effort? As long as you stay in the factory, no matter what stupid moves they make, they can't do anything if you don't respond."
"However, the kids in your village are pretty good at lying. Even that dirty little girl was able to hold it in until now."
"After we didn't go back with her, she looked like the sky was falling. She said your parents would definitely take back the things they sent to their house."
"There really aren't any good people in your family. Didn't you say that your sister and you have the best relationship? How come she really didn't think of informing you? You keep asking me to find a way to get your sister out of the village. Do you still think so now?"
"Okay, don't be depressed. Shouldn't you have seen through those people in your family long ago? It's better to draw a clear line between them as soon as possible. Some feelings are simply unnecessary. If they drag you into a pit, it will be the end of you."
"Look, you're all alone now. You can eat good food at state-owned restaurants, buy beautiful fabrics to make clothes, and often have time to go out with Old Xia to see how other families are doing, and help curse at them along the way. You're living a fulfilling life. You don't have to go back to your family and work like a slave, or even get sold off. Isn't that good?"
“…”
When they returned to the factory, Fang Yingdi suddenly stopped and looked straight at Jiang Wenhua, "Draw a clear line? Don't you know your mother and your sister's temperament? Why don't you draw a clear line with them? Why do you have to threaten them so that they won't be bullied to death by your stepfather and your brother-in-law? Isn't this a waste of effort?"
Don't you know that they will only hinder you, but you still help them? You are so angry that you have to go to see them frequently, so now you tell me to draw a clear line, how can it be so easy? "
Jiang Wenhua: "That's because they never thought of selling me off. That's because they've been taking care of me and treating me well since I was little. If they treated me the same way your family treated you, the first thing I would do when I grow up is cut off all ties with them."
Fang Yingdi: "You call yourself a smart person, but why can't you figure it out? They're not treating you well, they're treating you well as a man. If you were a girl, you'd be just like your sister who wanted to be a slave to her in-laws even though they were about to kill her. There's no difference. They're not treating you well as a person, they're treating you well as a man.
What are you kidding yourself about? Do you think your mother chose to marry and endure all these years of hardship just to raise you? Do you think it's good for you? Ask yourself, if you were a girl, would your mother marry someone else? Or would she go with your biological father, disregarding his cares because he didn't leave her with an offspring? She might even go with him, regardless of whether you lived or died.
Your mother doesn't value you the most, but herself. You're just a tool for her to portray herself as a good mother and wife. If she truly cared about you, she would consider you in everything. She knows you love her and you don't want her to serve others, so she shouldn't do things that make you sad and angry. She shouldn't have this mentality of willingly working herself to death to serve her husband well, right?
Jiang Wenhua's eyes were filled with panic as he spoke in a timid tone, "Do you know what you're talking about? Are you following Old Xia's lead and starting to spout nonsense? What kind of perverse logic is this? My mother raised me, my sister has taken care of me since I was a child, and my stepfather has never hurt me. Regardless of their actions and not their hearts, no matter what they think, they've never done anything wrong to me. How can this be called selfish?"
Fang Yingdi laughed. "Do you know Comrade Qiao Yi's family? Her parents never favor her brother over her because she's a girl. She has everything her brother has had since she was a child. When she's hungry, she thinks of her parents. When she's tired, she wants to go home. When she's wronged, she wants to tell her family right away. Would you? If you're wronged, would you want to tell your mother or your sister?"
Jiang Wenhua: ...He said bullshit.
Fang Yingdi: "They raised you, that's all. You once told me that your stepfather gave your family's last sweet potatoes to other families, and your family almost starved to death. So they almost didn't raise you, right? You were just lucky, and you also had your own ups and downs growing up, so you developed your current personality that values money. It's a trauma left over from your childhood. So, aren't they selfish enough?"
Jiang Wenhua was speechless after she brought up something he didn't want to think about. He then changed the subject and said, "We're talking about your family now. Why are you talking about mine?"
Fang Yingdi: "Okay, let's talk about myself. I worked so hard for my family before because I was not mature enough. I still hoped that my parents would love me a little more, so I wanted to work hard to do better and let them see that I was a very good daughter. But now I have figured it out. As long as I am still a daughter, no matter how good I am, even if I can build an airplane by myself, I still can't catch their eyes, so I am slowly not willing to expect them to be nice to me.
However, I'm human, and the feelings I poured into them are hard to retract all at once. I can only try to do so bit by bit. When I heard they were going to hurt me further, my first thought was to go back and confront them. That's human nature, isn't it? However, after your constant persuasion along the way, I realized that I was being irrational, so I returned with you halfway.
As for my sister, she's been clear-headed since she was a child, much clearer than me. It's just that she couldn't break free. Her path to escape home was cut off from her when she was young. My parents didn't allow her to go to school. Just like Lao Xia said, if I could, of course I would want to help her. Why not help her if I can? She used to secretly advise me to go home less often, but I just didn't listen at the time.
Jiang Wenhua was upset by Fang Yingdi, but he couldn't refute a word of her incessant questions and could only sulk by himself. The two had their first quarrel and parted on bad terms.
Didn't Fang Yingdi secretly jump into the river when she was hurt by her family? Why has she changed now and started attacking him? She has good reasons and evidence, and he really can't argue with her.
No wonder people privately say that Lao Xia’s mouth is a big killer, and her mouth is a small killer. She has learned all kinds of nonsense from following Lao Xia every day. If she marries her in the future, won’t she be suppressed by her?
Before he knew it, Jiang Wenhua had already started thinking about getting married.
