Chapter Thirteen Power and Internal Conflict
"Hmph, now I know you're scared?" Qin Huairu sneered in her heart, and ignored Jia Zhang's family. The more Qin Huairu ignored Jia Zhang's family, the more scared Jia Zhang's family became.
Outside the house, Lou Xiaoe asked in disbelief: "They started fighting for one dollar?"
"They fought for one dollar on the surface, but in fact they were fighting for power." Yang Mu pulled Lou Xiaoe back to the house and said slowly.
"For the sake of power?" Lou Xiaoe felt that his head was not easy to use. Qin Huairu and Jia Zhang obviously fought for one dollar, so why did her husband insist that they fought for power?
The deaf old lady smiled aside, wanting to hear Yang Mu's opinions.
"Yes, for the sake of power. First of all, we need to figure out what power is and what power is? Power is by no means a position that can make you honor and disgrace and promote you with just one official document, nor is it a kind of behavioral pleasure that can enable you to realize the value of life. The essence of power depends on how much you control and influence the spiritual life of others and even the entire society."
"For the Qin Huairu family, this kind of power struggle is more extreme. They are fighting for dominance, and more cruelly, it is slavery. Whoever controls absolute power can control the other party and even enslave the other party. Previously, Jia Zhang used filial piety to suppress Qin Huairu, making Qin Huairu dare not have a double heart. It is said that filial piety is actually an exchange of power. Jia Zhang used his son's right to work to exchange for the power to be respected. This job not only represents work, but also represents Qin Huairu's right to survive."
"Qin Huairu dares not lose this job. Losing this job means she has to go home to earn work points. It's better to be alone, even if she is divorced, it's better. The bad thing is that Qin Huairu has a son and two daughters. Qin Huairu loves her children very much, which makes it impossible for Qin Huairu to lose her job. Jia Zhang took Qin Huairu just because Qin Huairu did not dare to leave the Jia family.
Qin Huairu also saw this. Qin Huairu did not dare to leave the Jia family, but Jia Zhang did not dare to leave Qin Huairu. As soon as Qin Huairu left, Jia Zhang lost his source of life. Similarly, she had to go back to her hometown to earn work points, which created a situation where no one could leave each other. Therefore, this family rarely maintains a relatively equal balance of power. Their family can suck the blood of the fool's pillar, maintain a livelihood, and live a good life."
"But, when people go to high places and water flows to low places, no one will think that the money is small. Today, Qin Huairu makes 150 cents easily. Don't underestimate this 50 cents. Today is one 50 cents, and tomorrow is three yuan. The day after tomorrow may be more. This small 50 cents breaks the originally fragile balance between the two sides. Jia Zhang is afraid that Qin Huairu will destroy it tightly if she has other means and skills to make a living, because once Qin Huairu has other means and skills to make a living, she is likely to get rid of herself."
"How to destroy it? First, we will not let Qin Huairu sell popcorn, but no one thinks the money is too low, and Jia Zhang is no exception. Therefore, Jia Zhang cannot stop Qin Huairu from going, and she cannot stop it; second, we will not let Qin Huairu have money."
"So, they seem to be fighting for money, but in fact they are fighting for power. I understand what I say?" Yang Mu asked.
Lou Xiaoe was stunned and said she didn't understand very much. The deaf old lady had bright eyes. It seemed that she could understand. The deaf old lady was originally clear and she could see very brightly without Yang Mu's words.
"It doesn't matter if you don't understand. You will gradually understand over time. In short, remember, there are no good people in the entire courtyard. Just stay away from moths as much as possible." Yang Mu said and glanced at the deaf old lady.
Although the deaf old lady is a rare sensible person in Siheyuan, the deaf old lady also has selfish intentions. When Lou Xiaoe left, the deaf old lady even tricked Lou Xiaoe into being pregnant with Sha Zhu's child and cheated Lou Xiaoe for life, so that the beasts who came to Siheyuan later sucked Sha Zhu's blood and indirectly sucked Lou Xiaoe's blood.
However, now that Yang Mu has pushed Xu Damao, nothing can happen between Lou Xiaoe and Sha Zhu again.
"Will the third uncle really drive Jia Zhang away?" Lou Xiaoge asked.
"No! That's what Qin Huairu scared Jia Zhang. The third uncle figured it out. It would not be a matter of time to drive Jia Zhang away. Now the third uncle is busy making money, so he has no time to do anything. Moreover, the third uncle has clearly determined that the huge profit period of popcorn will be at most two weeks, so the third uncle won't waste these two weeks. Time is money for the third uncle. The third uncle can't stop Qin Huairu from selling goods, and at most he will find a way to make Qin Huairu sell less goods." Yang Mu said.
"Also, the third uncle's family is not peaceful either. Yan Jiecheng of the third uncle's family and Yan Jiefang are not a good-looking lamp. Look, when they come back, the third uncle's family will have to start a fuss first." Yang Mu smiled.
"What's their family making trouble?" Lou Xiaoe asked.
"The dirt is uneven. Do you think Yan Jiecheng has worked hard all night and earned six yuan. How much should he pay?" Yang Mu asked.
"Does this still need to be handed over? Isn't it just a spend? If I earn money by myself, my parents will definitely not want it." Lou Xiaoge said.
"That's your family. It would be strange if the third uncle didn't let Yan Jiecheng pay five yuan. What do you think Yan Jiecheng is doing? Isn't this a bit of contradiction?" Yang Mu smiled.
"The essence of the internal strife of the three uncles is also a struggle for power?" Lou Xiaoe asked speechlessly.
"It's not wrong to understand this way, but it's not as extreme as the Qin Huai Ru family. They are fighting for their own choices in life. After all, with more money, there will be more choices." Yang Mu said.
In fact, in this era, it is not wrong for the third uncle to live a life so carefully, but this is in China. You cannot quantify your relationship and count it into money and make it carefully. The third uncle is that he only focuses on life and ignores his investment in relationships. Perhaps the third uncle thinks that it is good to survive. What is the relationship? Can it be eaten?
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Not long after, the third uncle and his family returned to the courtyard one after another. Yan Jiedi immediately ran home and told the third uncle about Jia Zhang's beating her. As Yang Mu said, the third uncle had internal conflicts first, and he didn't care about Yan Jiedi's beating. Besides, the Jia Zhang's beating cannot be blamed for Yan Jiedi, after all, it was the third uncle who took the first damage.
Jia Zhang was waiting with fear. She had already figured out dozens of ways to deal with the third uncle, but unexpectedly, the third uncle and his family did not cause trouble for her at all. Her family had an internal strife first. Jia Zhang was so happy that she wanted to spread the whole yard, but this was just thinking about it, and she didn't dare to.
The third uncle's family had been arguing for no reason. Yan Jiecheng and Yan Jiefang rushed out of the house angrily and headed straight for Yang Mu's house. As soon as they entered the door, Yan Jiecheng and Yan Jiefang said, "Brother Damao, we two want to do it ourselves."
Lou Xiaoe looked at Yang Mu in surprise, and Yang Mu was right. For this little money, no, for the so-called right to choose life, the two brothers were about to leave the third uncle and go alone.
"Jiecheng, Jiefang, your brothers are not authentic. Just throw away the third uncle and work alone. Aren't you afraid of hurting the fragile and sensitive heart of the third uncle?" Yang Mu asked teasingly.
