Chapter 60
When the bookstore owner saw her holding the newspaper and reading it, he couldn't help but stop her: "I said, girl, if you want to read it, you can buy it back. What's wrong with you reading here for free?"
He murmured He said to himself, "If everyone is like this, can I still do business?"
For a while, he said that it was difficult to do business and there were few people buying books. For a moment, he muttered that the bookseller was evil and the price of the books was not cheap. For a time, many people came to read the book in vain because they were too old to sell it.
is upset, but that's just a matter of complaining.
He didn't stop complaining until Rong put down the newspaper.
I really don’t care about him, but for livelihood, her stepfather Zhao Peng is also in business, so she can understand this.
She and Qin Mu each picked three or two books, and the prices were not cheap. When the shopkeeper saw them, his expression changed from gloomy to sunny, and now he became amiable. He wrapped the schoolbag with waste paper and tied it into a strong bundle, very carefully and thoughtfully.
When the two of them left, he was still smiling: "I'll buy it next time. I have many complete books here, but I don't have any at the moment. If you ask, I can come back."
Mutual humility, but not Worth laughing at. Many people in this world would probably be kind and kind if they didn't have the responsibility to support their families.
But the heavy pressure of life at a high level forces them to be "fierce" and vulgar.
Rongzhen instantly forgot about the turmoil in the bookstore. When she got home, she sat at her desk, unfolded a piece of letter paper, and began to write four words - husband and wife.
This is the new novel she is going to write.
saw Mei Shuang, Nothing and Xiao Cui today. She felt relieved and always found it difficult to calm down.
Why is the only way for girls to get married and have children to serve their parents-in-law and husband?
Even women who don’t choose this path are aliens, monsters, and a disgrace to the family!
If a woman does not want to get married and wants to be self-reliant, countless people will scold her, because the man is the master of the outside and the woman is the master of the house. This has been the case throughout the ages! Absolutely true!
But what day and place is this?
Aren’t these lies originally written to domesticate women?
Don't lie too much, can it become the truth?
For thousands of years, "truth" has finally excluded women from the entire society, so that they can only live in that small place.
This world is wrong.
The pen tip cuts across the paper, leaving lines of writing, and a story slowly takes shape.
There is a famous family in a certain place. The owner's surname is Mei and her name is Sister Qing. His wife's surname is Fang and her name is Huimin.
After his family gave birth to four beautiful daughters, he got a precious son.
The four daughters are elder sister Xiangyu, second elder sister Lan Yu, third elder sister Wanyu and fourth elder sister Chunyu. The baby son was not among the rankings of his sisters, so he had a name - Mei Honghui, which was what his parents wanted.
In this family, the eldest sister and the second sister are both married, and they have married into the right families. They live a prosperous life, but they don't live well.
The eldest sister Xiang Yu is a traditional woman who loves her husband and raises her children. She serves her husband wholeheartedly, is filial to her parents-in-law, and takes care of her family conscientiously.
However, because she gave birth to two daughters one after another, her parents-in-law did not like this "hen that does not lay eggs", and neither her parents-in-law nor her husband looked down upon her.
Especially her husband, one after another, brought home all the dirty and smelly things, but having a bunch of Yingying and Miss Yan Yan was not enough, and they wandered around for the rest of their lives.
In the end, he accidentally contracted a disease and passed it on to his wives and concubines when he returned home.
The culprit is a man, who can endure the shame and go to the doctor, but the woman in the backyard is hiding it and has no time, dares to go to the doctor? No one is willing to treat this disease for them, even if it is embarrassing.
There is nothing I can do. As a woman, I either endure it or hide it, and ask my wife about so-called folk remedies in the back room.
After taking several folk remedies, Xiangyu's illness not only did not improve, but worsened.
My second sister Lan Yu married slightly less than Xiang Yu, but she also came from a scholarly family.She didn't want to be a wife and daughter-in-law stuck in the backyard for the rest of her life.
She has studied, is literate, can write and do math, and has a job as a middle school teacher, so she still has to work after marriage and rely on her skills to support herself.
For this reason, she was insulted by her parents-in-law, opposed by her family, and pointed out by some busybodies, but she resisted everything and refused to give in.
Just like that, she made up her mind, but in the end she was defeated by motherhood. She was pregnant with a child, her body was getting heavier and heavier, and her innate motherhood made her give up on being herself.
She also studied, and her well-educated husband said proudly: "Women, no matter how much you dance, as long as you get pregnant, you can't make any trouble."
After hearing this, she shed tears silently.
Mei·Lanyu did not become Mei·Lanyu after all. She became a wife, daughter-in-law and mother, but she could not be Mei Lanyu!
Because of the rebellion of the second daughter, Mei Qingjie learned a lesson and did not let the third and fourth sisters read too many books, saying: "Girls who read too many books will become wild."
In terms of nature, Wan Yu and Chun Yudu is eager to learn. They secretly read their sister's books, and their younger brother tried to listen with one ear when he was studying with his tutor.
Just like that, when they reached the marriageable age, the two girls refused to get married because of their sister's experience. Master Mei was furious and locked up his two daughters, trying to get them to submit.
Sister Chunyu is very smart, and Yuyu came up with an idea that night. After two days of confinement, she pretended to be obedient and coaxed her father to let the sisters come out. However, they packed their bags and left home that night, setting out on their own path.
Rong does not set a cliched ending - let the two sisters become famous and return to China after hard work.
In fact, although San Wanyu also had the difficulties of breaking the sky, she only knew how to act recklessly. In this world controlled by men, she suffered a lot and suffered a lot. If a younger sister hadn't pulled him out, there would have been no good ending.
Chunyu is not only willing to fight, but also has a heart, a brain, and a wit. After working ten times harder than ordinary people, she finally gained a foothold in a society that refused to accept women.
has her own intention in writing this. Although she does not agree with women staying in the back room and their only value is to marry their son, she cannot blindly advocate that women who go out to work must be able to appreciate the scenery just because of her own views.
It should be noted that words are powerful, and what is written will definitely be seen by many people. If a few people see this novel and are moved, they will fight it with their blood so that they can gain a foothold in society.
In this era, there is often no so-called fairness for women. If you want to get ahead, you have to work harder and be smarter than men. Otherwise, you'd better retreat to stay safe.
Rongzhen writes very slowly, but after writing more than two thousand words, the night is already very deep.
She put down her pen and rubbed her eyes. When she was getting ready to go to bed, she saw the newspaper she had bought while buying books today.
She picked up the newspaper and read it again.
There is no need to read "Extracting Oil" written by herself. After all, she had revised it many times and read it thousands of times, which prompted her to buy back the newspaper. It was written by Lady Anna.
That’s a really great article. Although it only describes the disputes between a dozen concubines over family property, it depicts the image of each person in detail, and the writing is smooth and flowing without any stagnation.
Rong initially speculated whether Ms. Anna was a foreigner. It can be seen that she chose her words so carefully, so she overturned this guess. After all, even locals who have studied for several years are not as good as her.
Nowadays, it is very common in China to take a foreign pen name due to the influence of Western ideas.
She really wanted to meet this great elder. As a woman, she would definitely resonate with him a lot.
She read thousands of words in the newspaper over and over again. The more she read, the more she wanted to get to know Ms. Anna, but she felt sad that she didn't have her contact information.
Suddenly, Rong thought that after he published "Extracting Oil", a reader wrote a letter and sent it to the newspaper, and the newspaper editor sent it to her.
She figured it out.
She quickly flipped through the letter paper, which she bought specially when she received letters from readers and replied to some of them. It's thick and clean and writes very smoothly.
Unconsciously, the new sleepiness dissipated, and she began to write a letter to Ms. Anna.
At the beginning, she couldn't help but praise "Madame". From the structure to the writing style to the content, everything was exquisite. Then, she sincerely and eagerly expressed her desire to make friends, nervously asked whether she was qualified to receive guidance from her seniors, and finally ended with a bunch of questions and words of admiration.
Thousands of words, more than the novel she wrote tonight. She wanted to write more sentences, but she was afraid that others would think she was long-winded. Just think about it and forget about it. After
finished writing, Rong read the letter several times and had the urge to rewrite it again. Sometimes she felt that her handwriting was not beautiful, sometimes she felt that her logic was not fluent, sometimes she felt that the questions she asked were from east to west, sometimes she felt that her questions were too simple and silly, and she could not be satisfied with them.
Just when she was about to rewrite a copy, the window was knocked on.
Qin Mu whispered outside the window, "It's very late. It's time to turn off the lights and take a rest. Don't stay up late."
He had just finished his work and got up to wash up and prepare to go to bed, but found that Rong next door was still there, so he couldn't help but remind him I.
Rongzhen replied: "I understand, it's time for you to go to bed."
She put the letter into the manuscript and did not plan to write any more. When she was ready to submit her article, she handed it to the editorial department and asked Ms. Anna's editor to forward it to her.
However, at this moment, she didn't know that the real Anna was different from what she imagined.
