Chapter 1619: The Greater the Ability, the Greater the Harm

Mengyu was speaking as she looked at a few of the old men of the Ou Family.

Sure enough, there was a look in the old men’s eyes that said, "How do you know?" which made her realize: she had guessed correctly.

She could even see that they were relieved she was not a woman of the Ou Family; otherwise, the Ou Family would be in trouble again.

Don’t ask her how she could tell; she just could.

The Old Madam was stunned; was that really the reason?

Her actions not only didn’t help change the Ou Family’s ancestral teachings but even made the men more determined to enforce them.

"Aren’t you thinking, if that’s the case, they could just marry a woman less intelligent than they are, so why marry a smart woman and suppress her?

It’s because they need the genes of a smart woman to pass on intelligence to their offspring. On one hand, they don’t acknowledge that a child forms from a woman’s seed, only believing it’s their seed growing into a child in a woman’s uterus, so the child belongs solely to them.

On the other hand, they understand deep down that a woman’s intelligence can be inherited by the child. So, they can only marry smart women, but to limit the harm a smart woman might bring to the family with her abilities, they restrict her power. Afraid the child might become a tool of the mother, they sever mother and child.

But marrying a smart woman also makes them guard against the family’s property flowing out of the Ou Family and diluting their interests. That’s why they can only limit a woman’s power.

They do this not just because of past hurts from intelligent women but also because your intelligence hurts their male pride!"

The Old Madam gaped in shock; she had faintly felt this but never wanted to acknowledge it, so she had never seen it so clearly.

"Yes, you’re very smart, but what did you do? You started a company, but you shouldn’t have secretly taken my mother-in-law Ou Xue’s dividends. If you had no money, you should have openly proposed to the head of the Ou Family that you wanted to use Ou Xue’s dividends to start a company.

Because my mother-in-law’s dividends do not touch their interests, I believe you would have been able to persuade them, given your intelligence.

But you chose to hide it. You chose underhanded means, using your debt of gratitude with Uncle Fu to ask him to help you, to take Ou Xue’s dividends to start a company for you.

I understand you hid it only because you didn’t want the Ou Family men to block you, so I can comprehend that. But I cannot understand why you would attempt to murder us when we arrived?

If, after knowing Ou Xue was found, you had immediately approached her and openly discussed using her dividends to start your company, knowing your difficulties, Ou Xue would have certainly understood your actions and even joined you in building Jinhui Group.

But what did you do? You bribed people from Ba Long Gang to kill Ou Xue, even personally sent a car to murder us, once, twice, three times!

You say the Ou Family men don’t treat you as human, but do they treat us as humans?

All just to keep Jinhui Group, afraid you would make wedding clothes for others, you didn’t dare let Ou Xue return home, so you repeatedly tried to murder her, and even now, you remain defiant, believing she only survived because she had a capable daughter-in-law!

By doing this, don’t you think instead of winning glory for women, you’re being shameless, being vicious?

So, your actions only prove the smarter you are, the more you show your talents, even surpassing the Ou Family’s men, who can only admire their ancestors’ idea: the greater a woman’s ability, the greater the harm!

Do you think your actions could change the Ou Family’s traditions?"
