The Fat Wife of the 1980s Awakens

Chapter 126 Holding Up Half the Sky

Although Xu Xiufang was dissatisfied in her heart, she also understood that in this era where both rule of law and humanity are given equal importance, every step of the procedure is necessary.

However, to her, her sister had made up her mind and any form of mediation seemed unnecessary.

She thought to herself, her sister was determined to leave that violent environment, so what could mediation change?

So she expressed her opinion directly to the staff: "Comrades, hello, I think it is best for my sister and brother-in-law to divorce directly. After all, he used violence in the marriage and has no sense of responsibility for the family."

The staff looked embarrassed, and one of them patiently explained: "We certainly support the decision to divorce, but have you ever considered that your sister has no stable source of income. Once she leaves the house with two children, and her parents' family cannot provide enough support, as her younger sister, have you ever thought about how difficult her future life will be? Not to mention that she will have to raise two children alone."

There is some truth in what he said. Reality is always so cruel and real that it forces people to re-weigh the pros and cons.

The staff member continued, "Comrade, we understand your concern for your sister. We will make regular follow-up visits, and Mr. Xu has also promised to correct his mistakes and ensure that he will not repeat them."

Xu Xiufang felt a strong sense of uneasiness when she heard this. She would never allow Xu Xiaohua to step into that potentially hurtful family again.

"I insist that my sister should get a divorce. Once domestic violence happens, it is hard to guarantee that it won't happen again. Besides, my sister's financial situation is not as bad as you think."

Seeing this, Guo Shunqiang's face was so gloomy that it seemed like water could drip out of it, and his tone was full of accusations: "What are you talking about? As the saying goes, it is better to destroy ten temples than to ruin a marriage. Don't you think you are too cruel?"

Xu Xiufang was dismissive of Guo Shunqiang's accusations. Her expression was full of contempt: "In a marriage full of violence and injustice like this, it is truly immoral to persuade people to reconcile. "

Xu Xiufang's words were so powerful that the faces of the two staff members present changed slightly. Obviously, they felt the silent criticism from Xu Xiufang.

Realizing the subtle change in the atmosphere, Xu Xiufang quickly adjusted her tone and turned to the staff with a warm smile: "I don't mean anything else, I just want to say that my sister now has a formal job. If she needs documents such as a work certificate, I can help her get it."

After these words came out, the two staff members looked at each other in surprise. "

But, this lady just said she didn’t have a job…”

Xu Xiufang chuckled and explained, "My newly opened store is still in the renovation stage, so she mistakenly thought that she was currently unemployed."

The two staff members turned their gazes to Xu Xiaohua, their eyes full of disbelief.

Is that true? "

Xu Xiaohua nodded quickly, her movements quick and firm, "It's absolutely true. I have never lied to the organization."

Xu Xiufang chuckled, but in her heart she found Guo Shunqiang's ignorance amusing.

Guo Shunqiang was furious and asked, "How dare you lie? What can you sell? Do you know how to run a business?"

In his opinion, Xu Xiaohua was just a narrow-minded country girl who knew nothing about business, let alone gaining a foothold in a prosperous city.

Xu Xiufang glared at Guo Shunqiang fiercely, her words full of disdain: "What do you know? If you have the ability, go find a job yourself and try!"

Then, she turned to the staff and said firmly and confidently: "I have the ability to help my sister. I have planned to help her rent a house in the city, and when I save enough money in the future, I will buy her a house of her own."

"The women's liberation we advocate is to enable women to be self-reliant and strong, right? We women can also hold up half the sky and support a family independently."

Xu Xiufang's words are full of the pride and confidence of a woman of her time.

"I think my sister's divorce should be clean and without any regrets."

After Xu Xiufang's impassioned speech, the two staff members couldn't help but show a trace of shame on their faces. "

Today, our country is in the midst of a great tide of reform and opening up. If we still cling to old ideas, how can we keep up with the times? Sooner or later, we will be left far behind.”

Xu Xiufang's words are not only a struggle against her personal destiny, but also a call for progress for the entire society.

"Since you two are here and have witnessed and understood my sister's current situation and experience, I believe that divorce is the most rational and legitimate choice."

Xu Xiufang's words were firm and clear, and there was an unquestionable power in her words. The two staff members present were almost dizzy with her resolute attitude, and they found it difficult to refute for a while.

Guo Shunqiang stood aside. No matter how hard he shouted, trying to stop the conversation, the staff seemed to be isolated by the wall built by Xu Xiufang's words and pretended not to hear him.

Xu Xiufang spared no effort, and every word she spoke was brilliant. She never stopped expounding on her views. Her tenacity and logical rigor made everyone present nod in agreement and gradually assimilated into her position.

"Okay, in that case, I will handle the divorce procedures for you now. As representatives of the Women's Federation, it is our unshirkable responsibility to protect the legitimate rights and interests of women."

The staff member finally compromised, with a bit of helplessness in his tone, but more of a commitment to his duties.

Upon hearing this, Guo Shunqiang's anger instantly broke through the restraints of reason. He pointed his finger at the staff with a trembling hand and almost roared, "Just try! No one can walk out of this door today!"

However, his threats seemed pale and powerless.

Xie Yi stood aside, gently shook his head, stood still, folded his hands across his chest, and said in a calm tone, but with a strength that could not be ignored: "You can try."

For the staff, this sentence was undoubtedly a direct denial of Guo Shunqiang's behavior, and also a silent support for their position.

After hearing this, the staff were shocked, but they also realized that this was a blatant provocation to public power.

"We will not only issue this divorce certificate in accordance with the law, but also, in view of your threatening behavior, you will need to accompany us to the relevant department for investigation. We serve the people. If you threaten us, you are threatening the interests of the people and challenging the authority of the party. This is absolutely intolerable and must be dealt with accordingly."

Their voices were firm and unquestionable.

Upon hearing this, Guo Shunqiang's legs began to tremble uncontrollably, and he almost collapsed to his knees.

OK, OK, I agree, I agree to the divorce right now."

When Guo Shunqiang thought about the possible punishment he might face, his fear surged like a tide and he almost collapsed.
