It turns out that Carrie's mother is really difficult to deal with. To be honest, if Kay hadn't learned that her mother knew about Carrie's peculiarities, he would have taken out the handcuffs and taken the woman back on suspicion of abusing a minor.
.
Her mother, Margaret White, had a strong and decisive personality, and she and her daughter Carrie were dependent on each other, but perhaps she cared too much about Carrie. She strictly prohibited her daughter from participating in all social activities, because in Margaret's view, this was
The best way to protect your daughter.
But this severity even reaches a level of harshness!
When she saw Carrie returning with a man, Margaret White almost went crazy, and she even planned to use violence against Carrie!
Fortunately Kai stopped her.
After Kai took control of Margaret, his first reaction was to call 911, and then deprived the woman of custody rights over Carrie on the grounds of mental disorder and abuse of a minor! But Carrie jumped on her mother and did not allow Kai to do this
Do.
Perhaps it was Carrie's act of protecting her that made Margaret sober up a little. Only then did Kay have the opportunity to talk to Margaret about Carrie's situation.
"No! Your daughter is not a witch, let alone a demon. She is just... gifted. This is a gift from God and an evolution! It is definitely not a bad thing!"
Margaret is religious, but the sect she believes in... how should I say? A little-known small sect. The doctrine is very conservative, even more conservative than the Catholic Church before the Reformation. It not only strictly prohibits violations of Catholic dogma, but is also full of
Various terms that discriminate against women, such as a girl's aunt, are considered a symbol of uncleanness in the teachings of this sect and must be purified. There are also requirements for women's clothing. In the teachings of this sect,
Women were required to remain chaste, and wearing makeup and sexy clothes were considered signs of impurity.
It is hard to imagine that a girl’s mother actually believes in such an ignorant sect. Doesn’t she know that it is just a natural physiological phenomenon of girls?
Of course, this sect is not at the level of a cult, it is just full of patriarchal contempt for women and all kinds of repressive nature.
When Margaret heard Kai's words, she didn't know what to do for a moment. Although she was strict, she was a mother after all. Did she really not love her daughter? If that were the case, she wouldn't
I have been together with Jiali for seventeen years.
But she was still unable to give a reasonable explanation for Jiali's peculiarities, so she turned to religion. After all, her special abilities were indeed easily associated with religious myths. She prayed devoutly and strictly abided by them.
Teachings, hoping that one day God will be merciful and let his daughter become normal.
Of course, it was of no use. Seventeen years had passed. Gary's power became stronger and stronger, so much so that Margaret began to be afraid.
But now, someone told her that it was not a curse, but an innate talent of Jiali!
It's a gift from God!
Margaret didn't believe Kay, but in her heart, she hoped that what Kay said was true!
Margaret still doesn't believe it.
Kai then said: "Mr. White..."
"My surname is White." Margaret emphasized.
"Oh, sorry. Ms. White." Kai felt keenly that Margaret seemed to hate Kai calling her Mrs. There are only two situations when this situation occurs. One, that is, this woman wants to date Kai! So she
Her marital status is a stumbling block. Ke Kai feels that she has thought too much. After all, this woman is still wary of him until now. At the same time, this woman is a complete ascetic. She even thinks that her aunt is filthy, and even more so.
Not to mention having sex.
The second possibility is that she is very taboo about her past.
But why, she clearly gave birth to Jiali. Why should she avoid the title of madam.
Unless...that man abandoned her and Carrie.
Even given her religious views, it's probably worse.
But this is not important for now.
"Ma'am, have you ever heard of mutants?"
Although Margaret's life was a typical traditional Puritan, she did not resist modernization as completely as the Amish. (The Amish are a group of Protestant Anabaptist Mennonites in the United States and Ontario, Canada.
Also known as the Amishites, they refuse to use modern technology and live in the most traditional way)
So Margaret still reads TV and newspapers.
"I've heard that, but isn't that an urban legend?"
The legend of mutants is actually widely circulated in modern society, but the official has always denied it, just like the official has always denied the existence of Area 51 and aliens. Only a few groups firmly believe that mutants exist.
"I can tell you, that's true. I've experienced it myself."
Margaret quickly reacted: "You mean Carrie too..."
"That's right!" Kai said with certainty.
Margaret did not feel comforted. After all, mutants were in the propaganda of many people...it was hard to describe, and there was also government handiwork involved.
"You seem to have some misunderstandings about mutants." Kai saw Margaret's disappointment, so he immediately continued to deceive. After all, this woman can even believe in a religion that obviously persecutes women. From this point of view, she is indeed
A very easy target to deceive. "There is no doubt that mutants are pure-bred humans! They are still the people of God. This can be seen from the fact that many of their parents and daughters are normal people.
"
"Their innate abilities are not special. They are just controlled by a dominant expression in the body called the X gene. I don't know much about genetic factors, but I swear, they are human beings.
Many people even believe that they are the future of mankind! Because of this, many people are afraid of them, because they are afraid that mutants will replace current humans just like the ancestors of mankind, Homo sapiens, replaced Neanderthals."
After that, Kay probably spent about two hours lobbying Margaret to convince her that there was nothing wrong with Carrie, let alone being cursed by God. She just had a talent, and this talent just required
People guide.
"Jiali has this talent, just like a person holding a weapon. What the weapon looks like is secondary. The important thing is that Jiali needs guidance. What kind of talent she will become is the most important." Kai has already said
My mouth is dry.
Fortunately, it still has some effect, at least Margaret has accepted most of what Kay said.
For example, on the good side of Jiali, she finally let go of most of her worries, such as her daughter being a witch.
This is good.
But she is stubborn and still doesn't trust Kai.
Very simple...
She's not stupid.
She knew how the government people dealt with mutants in the legend.
Even without these, she has watched movies like Frankenstein. What if Kai captures her daughter for experiments?
