Chapter 701 Xiangyang Subdistrict Office Must Bear Full Responsibility
Little Cangcang shook his tiny head.
[They didn't actually start arguing, but she got so angry she cried, then refused to mediate and ran away. Sister Tong didn't think much of it and chased after her. Then Granny Wang shoved her eldest daughter-in-law and called her an idiot with a sharp tongue. Wang Daming's wife dodged, and Granny Wang lost her balance and fell, hitting her head on the cement platform. She's in the hospital now...]
Lu Qiaoge: ...
How is Granny Wang doing?
The doctor said it might be a concussion because Granny Wang kept complaining of nausea and headaches. I observed her for a moment, and it seems she wasn't actually nauseous; she was faking it...
Because of its unique nature, Xiao Cangcang has been to the most places and seen the widest range of things.
The old tortoise said that the current Little Cangcang is almost like a demon.
Now Wang Daming's wife has gone to the neighborhood office to find Lao Hu, saying that if Duan Jingmin hadn't thrown a tantrum, her mother-in-law wouldn't have scolded her and tried to push her.
She's not stupid; why didn't she dodge when her mother-in-law pushed her?
Who would have thought he would fall so unexpectedly?
Originally, she hoped that the neighborhood committee could help mediate the conflict in her family and also teach her biased mother-in-law a lesson.
Who would have thought that such a small matter would escalate into such a big deal?
If she had known this would happen, she wouldn't have sought mediation from the subdistrict office. Therefore, the Xiangyang subdistrict office bears full responsibility.
Of course, she also admitted that she spoke without thinking, comparing Lu Qiaoge and Duan Jingmin, which upset Duan Jingmin, so she apologized to her.
"What did Duan Jingmin say?" Lu Qiaoge asked.
She felt wronged because she believed she hadn't said anything wrong.
Lu Qiaoge asked thoughtfully, "Do you know what kind of dispute Wang Daming's wife and her mother-in-law have?"
Years ago, Wang Daming made a gold ring for his mother, and later a pair of silver bracelets. Now that Wang Daming's younger brother is getting married, the old lady has given both the gold ring and the silver bracelets to her youngest daughter-in-law.
At this moment, Wang Daming's wife was crying and complaining to Lao Hu at the neighborhood office.
"I was originally in the right, but after all this, I have no right at all."
The gold ring and silver bracelet were gifts my husband arranged for my mother-in-law. However, my husband and I were already married at the time, and half of my salary was used to purchase them.
They said they would give all of this to me later.
Who would have thought that just a week ago, she gave all of these to her youngest daughter-in-law without even asking me?
How could I not be angry?
This shows they don't take me seriously.
All these years, I've taken good care of her and haven't gotten any credit in return.
On the contrary, it's much better not to live together. Distance makes things better, closeness makes things worse. He secretly gives me things and tells my sister-in-law not to tell anyone, and not to let me know.
Wang Daming's wife, Sister Zhu, became increasingly upset as she spoke.
Duan Jingmin on the other side kept her head down and remained silent.
Before going, she and Sister Tong learned that Granny Wang and her eldest daughter-in-law had been arguing for several days over a pair of silver bracelets and a gold ring.
Then, when she and Sister Tong entered the room, both of them looked unwell.
Granny Wang, despite her advanced age, was crying so pitifully, tears streaming down her face, while Wang Daming's wife stood with her hands on her hips, looking smug and unforgiving. Even when the two women entered, she remained angry and gave them a cold shoulder.
Is it her fault?
Moreover, she only said something casually, which shouldn't be taken seriously. So why did this woman mention Lu Qiaoge?
Duan Jingmin clenched her handkerchief, her eyes red-rimmed. This was the first time she had resolved a dispute, and it had happened like this. She was really unlucky.
I thought being a mediator would be easy, but I never imagined it would be so tedious and stressful.
Duan Jingmin deeply regretted choosing this position.
Suddenly, I thought of Lu Qiaoge. What would she do if she encountered a dispute like this?
But at this point, all she could say to Wang Daming's wife was, "Sister Zhu, I'm sorry. Please don't blame the neighborhood committee. It's all my fault. I apologize to you. I shouldn't have said those things without investigating."
Most people are actually kind.
The initially aggressive Sister Zhu couldn't continue the stalemate, but she still said, "They say you have to fight for your pride, not just for the money. I'm taking back the bracelet and gold ring. They're mine, why should they be given to my sister-in-law?"
Old Hu really misses Qiao Ge. With her around, this little thing is no big deal.
But Qiao Ge can't stay in the neighborhood office forever; the work will continue as before.
We need to give young people opportunities.
So Lao Hu said, "We understand your situation. No matter what, your mother-in-law is in the hospital, so you have to go and see her. How to resolve this matter can only be done when the three of you—your mother-in-law, your sister-in-law, and yourself—are together. What do you think?"
There's nothing wrong with that.
This isn't stolen; you can just report it to the police. Since this was a gift between family members, it's best to figure out a solution when everyone is together.
Sister Zhu came here wanting to clarify things. She was quite straightforward and said to Duan Jingmin, whose eyes were red, "Xiao Duan, I was in a bad mood today and my temper was a bit short. So I took it all out on you. I shouldn't have compared you to Lu Qiaoge."
At this point, Sister Zhu paused for a moment. She originally wanted to say that the two of you were not the same kind of people at all, but then she thought that this mediator surnamed Duan was too fragile and delicate, so she decided not to say that.
Then Sister Zhu continued, "I was also at fault today. I'm sorry to have disturbed your work. I need to go to the hospital to see my mother-in-law."
Before leaving, he said to Lao Hu, "Now that I've already gone to the street office about this matter, I hope they can give me justice. If you think this is rightfully mine, then I'll go and ask for it. If you think it's not rightfully mine, then I'll accept it. Anyway, things are already like this, I just need the organization to give me an explanation. Otherwise, I won't feel comfortable!"
Old Hu nodded on the other end: "Okay!"
Sister Zhu left in a hurry.
Old Hu glanced at Duan Jingmin, whose face was flushed, and said in a calm tone, "That's how it is at the grassroots level. You encounter all sorts of people with different levels of education and different qualities. Some will greet you with a smile, while others will mock you."
Some people will even start hurling insults at you before you can even say a word. It doesn't matter if they're right or wrong; they just want to yell at you, and you have to listen.
He'll stop swearing, then you can try to solve the problem.
Duan, it's normal that you're not used to it yet since you've just started this job.
However, as a mediator, you need to have a broad mind.
When you have a broad mind, you will have more room and space to solve the various problems you face...
Old Hu rambled on for a long time before returning to his office.
These are the problems that grassroots mediators are already facing.
It's just that Lu Qiaoge is different from others, so she finds this kind of work particularly easy.
But in reality, the work of a mediator is by no means easy.
