Later, the factory leaders realized that this situation could not continue and would destroy unity, so they called the two families together to mediate.
The Pan family was easy to talk to. They didn't wait for criticism from their superiors, but rather took the initiative to self-examine themselves. They agreed to whatever their superiors said. They had already vented their anger and were already impatient with this family. Agreeing now was a perfect opportunity, and it could earn them the superiors' praise. Why not?
But the chatterbox lady wouldn't accept it! She'd been bullied for so long, reconciliation? Impossible! Unless she was allowed to fight back! Otherwise, wouldn't all the beatings she'd received be in vain? Why?
But would the leader agree? His original intention in mediating was to stop the two families from fighting. She wanted to fight back? How could he agree? Who was he slapping in the face?
The leader was also angry and felt that the nagging lady was a little ungrateful.
If one family is reasonable and the other is ungrateful, do we need to think about whose side the leader will stand on?
So in the end, although the matter was resolved as the leader expected, the impressions of the two families on him were very different.
This time, the gossipy old lady had offended everyone in the factory, from top to bottom. When the other employees learned about this, they all kept their distance from her.
This kind of person should not be made close friends.
From then on, the gossipy old lady who was hated by everyone not only did not reflect on her own problems, but instead blamed everything on the Pan family.
With the leader's pressure test there, she didn't dare to go and cause trouble. Of course, the more likely reason was that she couldn't win.
They turned to gossiping behind his back, and Pan Ning, who was the cause of the incident, was talked about the most.
You're too picky, you'll never get married; you're too picky, you look down on others; you have your eyes set on the sky, you're arrogant...
Because of the residual power of Pan's mother, she didn't dare to say anything more extreme, for fear of being beaten again. Of course, even these words, she had to spread them secretly, because if she was caught, she would definitely be beaten.
A biased leader wouldn't care about these things. Who told you to provoke others and speak ill of them? You deserve it!
An average person would learn their lesson after being beaten twice and would never make the same mistake again, but she was different. She became more courageous with each setback.
After each beating, she would even become more violent, relying on the fact that Pan's mother didn't dare to beat her too hard.
In her opinion, it was worth it to suffer some minor injuries as long as she could feel relieved!
This behavior made the people around her even more disgusted, and they all stayed away from her.
But some people are too shameless and insist on getting close to me.
Look, everyone was gathered together to congratulate Pan Ning, but she insisted on running over to make herself known and ruin the atmosphere.
What do you mean by "old maid"? She is clearly in the prime of her life!
They all lived in the same housing complex, and most of them had watched Pan Ning grow up since she was a child, so they generally had good intentions towards her.
So everyone was very dissatisfied with what the chatterbox lady said. Following the straightforward lady, everyone started to mock her:
"Climbing up the social ladder? What? Jealous? Jealousy is useless. Being able to climb up the social ladder is a skill! Unlike some people, who can't even climb up if they want to."
"Tsk tsk tsk—did you smell that? Who's got a jealous jar spilled? Why do I smell so sour?"
"Aren't you jealous? You gossip about the girl behind her back every day, and you're not ashamed. Now that she's married, and married so well, aren't you jealous?"
"Yeah, Ningning's dowry is quite large. It's one of the best in our family compound, right?"
"The last time I saw such a large dowry was when the factory director's eldest granddaughter got married."
"Hey, you don't know this, do you? Many of these are betrothal gifts sent by the man. Mr. and Mrs. Pan love their daughter very much, so they gave them all back as dowry and even added a lot of things."
A group of people sang in unison, talking about how happy Pan Ning was now, and the chatterbox's eyes turned red.
Originally, all of this should have belonged to her nephew!
If the Pan family hadn't been so ungrateful and refused to agree, how could her nephew have married such a shrew? Thinking of the last time she went back to her parents' home and how her nephew was abused by his two stepmothers and how he had no dignity under control, she hated him even more.
But he never thought about what all this had to do with the Pan family. Didn't they choose their own wives?
Of course, it is also possible that he knows it clearly in his heart, but he is just feeling unfair and deliberately taking his anger out on others.
A person who has gotten stuck in a dead end refuses to admit her mistakes. She will just keep going down one path until the end, as if this is the only way to prove that she is not wrong.
"They are getting married so ostentatiously, as if they are afraid that others don't know they are rich. They should be investigated. Who knows what they are doing behind the scenes!" The gossipy old lady looked at the dowry that was moved out, her eyes turned red with jealousy, and she said hatefully.
As soon as these words were spoken, the surroundings suddenly fell silent.
It's okay to curse people behind their backs and spread gossip, but what they said now is really too much.
Suddenly, the group of people who had been in a good mood and had not spoken could not help but speak.
"I think some people only remember to eat but not to be beaten. Even after the scar heals, they forget the pain. They should be taught a lesson and learn their lesson!"
"According to you, there will be problems in preparing a dowry for the child? Then why not just give the child nothing when they get married? Let them just leave the house empty-handed and live their lives!"
"I remember your son's betrothal gifts were quite a bit when he got married, right? The betrothal gift alone was five hundred, plus a watch, not counting all the other miscellaneous items, that's about seven or eight hundred dollars, right? Your family has that much money, right? If we really need to investigate, I think we'd have to start with your family!"
"Their dowry is large because their parents-in-law value it and their parents love them. It's like both families prepared it together. You know everything, but you still make malicious speculations. What's your intention?"
“…”
During the turmoil of the past two years, some people in their family compound suffered, too. Some were taken away, had their heads shaved, some were paraded through the streets, some were sent to the countryside. Those who experienced it still feel a lingering fear when they think about it.
It's finally quiet now, no longer having to worry all day, and suddenly this idiot comes along and says something like this, who wouldn't be angry? Even the best-tempered people have their limits!
Don't say it has nothing to do with other people. Are the people there so easy to deal with? They are like hyenas, following the scent. How could they be willing to leave unless they are fed?
So if everyone was just annoyed at her targeting a little girl before, now their attitude had turned into anger. The incident had also shifted from being just Pan Ning to being closely related to someone else.
So everyone opened fire and criticized the gossipy old lady to pieces.
