1671 Mutual Salvation

At the dining table, Lynch watched Catherine complain about the busy work during this period, but he did not see the disgust that those complaints deserved in her eyes.

There is just a...like joy of sharing.

Sometimes, busy work is also a kind of joy.

This suddenly reminded Lynch of a description

Look!

There is light in this man's eyes!

She seemed to notice a change in Lynch's smile. Of course, it might be that they had lived together for too long, or it might just be because she was very sensitive. She suddenly asked, "What's wrong? You don't like hearing this?"

Lynch waved his hands repeatedly, "No, of course not, I'm just happy that you found the direction you wanted!"

Catherine was stunned for a moment, but she did not admit it directly. She just sat upright and looked at Lynch with a smile.

After a while, she said "thank you"!

"I'm very grateful to you. If it weren't for you, I might be like most women, now married to a man I don't like, and then watching TV series alone every day when he goes to work."

"Every day is a repetitive routine of cooking, washing clothes, tidying up, cleaning, and taking care of the children."

"You gave me new life, Lynch!"

In the process of following Ms. Tracey in the cause of women's rights, Catherine met so many women in need and got to know their families!

At first Catherine was shocked and sympathetic to what happened to these women.

For example, the first woman she received who came to seek help was thirty-seven years old and already a mother of six children.

But her husband still had no control over their marital life, and would abuse and beat her in the process.

She endured it for sixteen years. When she was twenty-one, she married this man who everyone said was good, and no one asked her what she thought.

She thought life might be like this, but she soon discovered that life was not good at all.

That man would beat her because the food she cooked was not delicious, he would beat her because she did not clean the dust in the cracks of the floor at home, he would beat her because she suppressed certain impulses in their married life...

In short, he had many reasons to hit her, but she never considered leaving this man or doing anything.

Because everyone told her that life has to go on. You are already married and have several children. What will you do if you get divorced?

These people will even say good things for that man. They will say that he actually has a lot of pressure, pressure from work, pressure from life, and pressure to support his wife and children.

She remained silent for so many years under the constant persuasion and self-explanation of others, until she could no longer satisfy her husband's increasingly perverted demands.

Ms. Tracey and Catherine found her a lawyer and applied for various legal aids to get her away from that bastard.

But that woman would not live a very happy life because of this. She had six children.

Without the help of a man, it was difficult for her to support her six children.

This society does not give women many opportunities to work, and even if she finds a suitable job, she cannot do it.

Because some of the children are still young and cannot live without people, it is impossible for her to leave all the children at home. This will only lead to new tragedies.

After a period of relief, she became independent.

Later, when Catherine paid a return visit, she discovered that she had jumped from one tragedy to another.

She began to do skin care work in the community. In fact, there are many such people in the Federation. There are always families with families who are unable to work. This may be their only source of livelihood!

The women would be in the outside room receiving guests, and the children would be in the inside room watching TV, maybe curious, maybe not.

No one cares about their psychological condition, including their mothers.

She just hopes that these children can grow up as soon as possible and that life can become better...

This is not an isolated case.

In fact, in this era, such things happen almost every day, in some corner, in some unknown place.

Because people's eyes can't see it, people just pretend it didn't happen.

Catherine has dealt with many similar situations while working on women's rights, and she has increasingly understood how valuable her current life is.

When she wears high-end clothing to attend formal occasions, when people show respect to her, these are what women in this country desire most!

If it weren't for Lynch, maybe she would have become one of these people, and would have had a less than perfect family, and even had a husband who beat her.

Everything she enjoys now, these gazes, these things, all come from Lynch, and she needs to thank Lynch!

Some people are shy to thank others, but Catherine is obviously not such a girl, otherwise it would be difficult for her to defeat the female cousins ​​in school.

Lin Qi smiled and listened to her words of thanks, tilting his head slightly, "We once agreed that if we were able to do something for each other..."

He and Catherine had talked about this when they graduated from high school. If it were possible, one person's efforts could give another person the opportunity to realize their ideals, and they would both try hard.

Lynch is just fulfilling some promises. Although these promises are not made by him, he needs to bear this responsibility.

Catherine didn't say anything else. She picked up the wine glass and clinked it with Lynch.

There was a crisp sound of clinking glasses and the ripples of wine in the glass caused by the vibration of the glass wall, exuding an intoxicating fragrance. The two sipped some, and then put down the glass.

"I came here this time just to run for mayor, Catherine."

"The greater a person's power, the greater the responsibility!"

"When we were just ordinary students, we couldn't even change some things around us, let alone change the society and move the world!"

"But when we have a certain amount of power, we can try to provide some help within our capabilities for ourselves, for this country, and for those who used to be us and those who need help!"

These words are in line with the spirit and cognition of the Federation people. Just like in this war, the military has selected a group of soldiers as the subjects of the report.

As soon as they open their eyes, people will know from newspapers and TV news whether these "heroes" have broken their previous records and how many enemies and their equipment and facilities they have killed!

In an era when everyone is rapidly turning from conservative to radical, what people need is this kind of spirit, but at present people are still confused.

They don't know how to do it. At this time, the birth of a hero plays a key role!

The federal military used some "hero soldiers" to tell society what they would do and what to do.

In society, here, Catherine is actually a hero. She will also show her abilities to society and take on these responsibilities.

In fact, Lynch is doing the same thing. As his wealth increases, he has to take on more and more things.

Perhaps many people think that capitalists only have an evil side, and few people talk about the fact that the existence of capitalists and factories gives them the opportunity to feed their families.

Not everyone knows how to be grateful, but you still have to do what you should do.

Catherine also has some feelings. Although she has not been a city councilor for too long, she has accumulated a lot of work experience.

Also know what the people at the bottom need!

This will help her find the right direction after becoming mayor.

Some people always want to maliciously vilify politics. In fact, it is just high-level politics, and there may be some problems in those places.

But at the bottom of society, apart from the problems of the politicians themselves, most politicians still try their best to do work for the people.

The reason is very simple, just like the mayor of a city, they are the leaders closest to the people at the bottom.

Once their interests are separated from those of the people, the people will no longer vote for the mayor!

Under the direct election system at the bottom, a mayor who is not loved and supported by people can only appear in film and television works, but cannot appear in the real world!

If there really was a guy like that in the real world, he might not last more than half a year before he would be unlucky!

The angry, uneducated lower-class people don't care at all about whether they are breaking the law or not when they are angry!

As the chef delivered today's dishes, the conversation between the two about work came to an end.

During this period, some people dining around noticed Catherine and Lynch. They just watched from a distance and did not come to disturb them.

This is also an interesting phenomenon in the Federation.

In most restaurants, there are no "private rooms" and everyone sits in the lobby to eat.

Regardless of whether it is a company director or a security guard in front of the gate, everyone will basically maintain a well-established dining order.

If someone doesn't behave, they will be kicked out.

A hearty, delicious dinner!

It wasn't until the meal was over and the two had left the restaurant that someone came over and encouraged Catherine with a smile, hoping that she could defeat the other candidates and bring some changes to the city...

A night of silence.

The next morning, Catherine gave a campaign speech, right in the park, with Lynch in the front row as a special guest.

When Lynch and Catherine appeared together, the city voters who came to the scene burst into cheers.

It’s not that they like Lynch very much, they are too far away from Lynch’s world.

The reason why they cheered for Lynch was entirely because many of the things Catherine promised the people needed Lynch's help.

For example, establish a university in this state or even this city that most people can attend!

This is also the main reason why everyone supports Catherine!

After all, the desire to change social class is buried deep in everyone's bones!
