When Grandma Xia thought back to the old days, she wished she could slap herself a few times.

What a load of bull that harmony in the family brings prosperity! Their family did prosper, but that prosperity was built on the foundation of women.

Grandma Xia went out, looked at the messy family, pushed Qiu Rong, who was about to go back with her husband's family, back into Jiang Wenhua's house, and then closed the door.

Jiang Wenhua had finished his outburst when he was surprised that Lao Xia would show up at this time. He thought that what he had said that morning was enough to offend Lao Xia, and that she might pretend not to have seen him in the future.

But she still came out, because of his family's feudal dregs.

Mr. Qiu was puzzled by the identity of Old Lady Xia. When he came here a few times before, Old Lady Xia had not yet moved in, so it was not surprising that he had never seen her before.

Grandma Xia: "You've been arguing for so long, but it doesn't seem to be of any use. Xiao Jiang won't let you take his sister away, and you, as Comrade Qiu's biological father, insist on sending your daughter to her death. You've been arguing and at a stalemate, so I came to check on you."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Qiu was furious: "What do you mean I should send my daughter to her death? She's my daughter, how could I not feel heartache?"

Old Mrs. Xia: "Your daughter is so thin that she could scare people at night without even dressing up. She's been abused like this and still says those things. It's hard not to suspect that your son-in-law is your real son and your daughter was adopted."

Mr. Qiu: "Why do you, an old man, only enjoy breaking up other people's happy families?"

Grandma Xia: "I don't see what's so good about your daughter's family. Why don't you tell me?"

Mr. Qiu: "Her husband has a job and is capable."

Grandma Xia: "As a result, he let his wife starve to this terrible state."

Mr. Qiu: "My daughter's parents-in-law are praised by everyone for their good character."

Grandma Xia: "In the end, the girl was perfectly fine when she got married, but she miscarried and had to desperately escape to beg her younger brother for help."

Mr. Qiu: "My son-in-law's family is harmonious and respectful to each other."

Grandma Xia: "He only treats his own brothers as human beings, but treats his wife like an animal."

Mr. Qiu was furious. How could she retort with every word he said, "What business is it of yours, an outsider, about my family affairs? What do you know?"

Grandma Xia: "Because he couldn't argue with me and couldn't provide any evidence of his daughter's happiness, the useless old father could only resort to the all-purpose phrase 'it's none of the business of outsiders.'"

Mr. Qiu, panting heavily, asked, "Wenhua, who is she?"

Jiang Wenhua was moved when Grandma Xia came out to help her. Now, when she heard Qiu's father ask her a question, she replied, "She is the leader of our compound. She is in charge of everything that happens in our compound."

Grandma Xia was bewildered. When did she become a leader? If anyone should be a leader, it should be the women's director. Who would want to be the leader of this troublesome compound? What has she become? The queen of troublemakers?

But Qiu's father clearly believed it. If an ordinary person saw their situation, they would have hidden away to watch the show. Who would be so loyal as to stand up and help? They might not only fail to help but also get themselves into trouble.

"Comrade, this is a matter between my daughter and son-in-law's family, it shouldn't be a matter for this compound." Seeing that Old Lady Xia's face was dark and that she had just retorted to him, Qiu's father knew that she was not someone to be trifled with, so he decided to try to reason with her first.

Grandma Xia suddenly raised her chin, looking arrogant. "Comrade, although your daughter is your family matter, I can't just stand by and watch a perfectly good young woman be pushed into a fire pit by you. To be honest, I really can't believe you're her biological daughter."

Mr. Qiu: "How can I not be her biological son? I can show you the household registration book."

Old Mrs. Xia: "I won't look. Do you know that if your daughter goes back now, she'll be doomed? They've ruined your daughter like this, and even if she goes back, they'll never change their ways."

Qiu Rong's husband suddenly chimed in, indignantly saying, "How could I possibly harm someone? If she didn't have health problems, I wouldn't be without a child all these years."

Grandma Xia looked at the dark circles under his eyes and said, "I think there's something wrong with you. Have you been to the hospital?"

Qiu Rong's husband: "What problems could I, a grown man, possibly have? Having children is a woman's business."

Mr. Qiu also said from the side, "This woman, don't distort the truth. You can't blame the man for not being able to have children. People will laugh at you if they find out."

Grandma Xia rolled her eyes: "Let's go, let's go to the hospital now and hear what the doctor has to say about whether childbirth is related to the man. If it's not related to the man, then she can have a child with anyone, as long as the child takes your family name, it's your child, right?"

Qiu Rong's husband turned green with rage. "You actually want my wife to cheat on me?"

Grandma Xia: "I never said that. You yourselves said it had nothing to do with men. If it has nothing to do with men, then women can give birth on their own, so why should they have marital relations with you?"

Qiu Rong's husband's face turned red again. What was wrong with this old lady? How could she say such things in public? "You're so old, how can you not feel ashamed?"

Grandma Xia: "You young man, you look quite respectable, but how come you're 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 has nothing to do with a man, then you don't need to have sex? Is there a problem with that? So I said that a woman can have a child with anyone, since it has nothing to do with a 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, "That's right, there's absolutely no problem with that."

Grandma Xia rolled her eyes at him.

Qiu's father and Qiu Rong's husband wanted to refute her, but they didn't know how. They felt that there was something wrong with what Grandma Xia said, but they couldn't think of a rebuttal.

Mr. Qiu: "That's nonsense."

Grandma Xia: "You old man, then tell me, does a woman's childbirth have anything to do with her husband?"

After hesitating for a long time, fearing that his daughter might have taken it to heart and actually cheated on her son-in-law, Qiu's father could only say, "It's related."

Grandma Xia: "Since we're related, is there anything wrong with me saying that your son-in-law has a health problem?"

Qiu Rong's husband shouted, "There can't be a problem with me, I'm very vigorous."

Grandma Xia paused for a moment. Just a moment ago she was as shy as a young boy, but now she was speaking with such ferocity. Sure enough, this was a man's Achilles' heel.

"You're so vigorous, how come you can't have a child?"

Qiu Rong's husband said, "I told you, it's my wife's health that's the problem. She's so thin and weak, she definitely can't get pregnant."

Old Mrs. Xia: "She's so thin, and you, as her husband, don't you spend money to nourish her? Was she always this thin since childhood, or was she abused by your family? Either way, it's your problem as the husband. If she's physically weak, then you, as her husband, are mentally unstable for not supporting your wife. If she's physically healthy, and you haven't had children for several years, then it's you who has a physical problem. Have I made myself clear enough?"
