When Mrs. Lu saw Ruan Huizhen come in, she immediately had a headache. She just cared about questioning her son, but forgot to avoid her daughter-in-law.

Hurriedly said, "Huizhen, don't worry, I'll call the shots for you in this matter." ”

"No, mother, did Canwen really raise the outer room?" Ruan Huizhen looked incredulous, she glanced at Mrs. Lu, and then turned to Lu Canwen, "That Miss Lin, is it the woman you raised outside?" ”

"It's not!" Lu Canwen was in a state of confusion, he didn't even understand how things had developed into the current situation.

"Xiuran is my legal wife, and we are married."

"What about me, I am also your legal wife, we are still three media and six hires, and we have worshiped heaven and earth." Ruan Huizhen said excitedly.

Xiao San still wants to be legal, heh, I'll talk about it after I pass this level.

"Huizhen is right, this woman is not even a concubine, and she has not been approved by the elders in the family, she is an unsightly outer room. Canwen, I don't agree with such a woman entering the door, you hurry up and separate from her. ”

Although Mrs. Lu loves her son, she also chooses to stand on her daughter-in-law's side at this time.

To be honest, she really doesn't like that Miss Lin very much. A woman, just show her head, look at the clothes, wear more elaborate than her. Giving yourself a gift and giving such a precious silk scarf didn't cost Canwen money in the end.

The old lady is relieved now, and when she remembers that when she and her daughter-in-law were living a hard life in the countryside, this woman followed her son to live such a nourishing life, and she felt sick in her heart. She can't stand such a daughter-in-law.

"I would never agree with this woman anyway." Mrs. Lu's tone was firm.

"Mother......" Lu Canwen's face was full of helplessness. He really couldn't figure it out, obviously Xiuran was so good, why didn't his mother like Xiuran.

Ruan Huizhen saw Lu Canwen's painful face, and she was secretly happy in her heart, and said sadly on her face, "If you have to let this woman enter the door, then we will divorce." I've heard that it's the Republic of China now, and you can get a divorce. ”

When divorce was still popular in Lujiazhen, there were already divorce cases here in Shanghai.

Lu Canwen naturally knew this, although he also thought about divorcing Ruan Huizhen in his heart, he also knew that it was impossible. Mother would not agree. So he dismissed the idea. has even done a good job of supporting Ruan Huizhen for a lifetime. As for Xiuran's side, he wouldn't mind this arrangement.

However, when he heard Ruan Huizhen's mention at this time, his heart moved, and he felt a similar surprise.

Before he could be pleasantly surprised, a basin of cold water was splashed down. Mrs. Lu shouted, "I don't agree, what divorce is not divorced, you are a good husband and wife, why do you want to divorce." Our Lu family can't afford to lose such a person. You're going to get a divorce unless I'm dead! ”

Seeing the old lady's resolute attitude, Lu Canwen didn't dare to think about the divorce anymore, just looked at Ruan Huizhen and said, "Don't think about it." I will not divorce you, you are also my wife, and my mother agreed. In the future, you and your mother will live a good life, and I will give you living expenses and support you for a lifetime. In the future, Xiuran and I will have children, and the children will also raise you. ”

"You're still going to be with that woman?" Mrs. Lu shouted first.

"Mother, I'm sorry, Xiuran and I are really together. She suffered a lot for me and took care of me all the time. She and I share the same interests, are like-minded partners, and are the best partners in life. ”

When he said this, Lu Canwen's handsome face was a little soft.

When Mrs. Lu saw his look, she was even more angry. "You, you're so angry with me!"

"Lu Canwen, do you still have a conscience? Over the years, you have ignored your family, and it is me who has worked hard to take care of my mother. My mother and I ate and slept in the open, starved, and in the end even let you raise a woman outside, you ruthless, unrighteous, irresponsible coward, I must divorce you! ”

Lu Canwen was ashamed, "I'm sorry Huizhen, I, I know I'm sorry for you." But I really love Xiuran. ”

"Then let's get a divorce! We are divorced, and you go to find your lover yourself. ”

Ruan Huizhen said righteously.

Lu Canwen didn't take it seriously, and he couldn't do anything about abandoning his wife. Since he married his daughter-in-law, he will be responsible to the end. I can't give her love in this life, and I will support her. "Huizhen, don't worry, I won't divorce you. Xiuran has a good temperament, and she will not reject your storage zài. We will take care of you for the rest of your life. ”

Hearing Lu Canwen's shameless remarks, Ruan Huizhen was almost stunned.

What woman wants to be raised by a junior for the rest of her life? Lu Canwen also took it for granted.

She was about to speak, but Mrs. Lu turned around and persuaded her, "Huizhen, let's discuss this matter carefully, don't mention the divorce." As long as I am in one day, this marriage cannot be divorced. You will always be the daughter-in-law of our Lu family.

Ruan Huizhen looked at the mother and son with a sad and angry face, turned around and rushed back to the room.

After returning to the room, Ruan Huizhen lay down on the bed and went around her own space.

When the time came out, Mrs. Lu was already knocking on the door outside.

Ruan Huizhen opened the door and looked at Mrs. Lu, whose eyes were swollen from crying. She also rubbed her red eyes, "Mother, Canwen is gone?" ”

"Hey, it's useless for me to be a mother." Mrs. Lu also sighed.

For the first time in so many years, Lu Canwen has resisted her as a mother so resolutely, which is even stronger than when she was forced to get married. There's nothing she can do about it.

Ruan Huizhen was silent for a long time, and suddenly said resolutely, "Mother, I want a divorce, I must divorce!" Over the years, I have asked myself if I am sorry for the Lu family, and even used Huixian's money to pay off my debts. But Canwen has already raised women outside, and I can't accept it. Mother, I feel really uncomfortable. ”

When Mrs. Lu heard that Ruan Huizhen was going to divorce again, she panicked, and hurriedly held her arm, "Don't be excited, Huizhen, Canwen is just confused for a while, I will persuade him." I'm not going to let that woman in. ”

Hearing Mrs. Lu say this, Ruan Huizhen knew that the old lady wanted to calm things down.

Maybe the old lady really doesn't like Lin Xiuran very much, but the old lady is not ready to make too much trouble with her son for these things.

She didn't let Lin Xiuran enter the door, and Lin Xiuran was not ready to enter the door, just like living with Lu Canwen now.

Regarding the old lady's attitude, Ruan Huizhen once again was not worthy of the original owner.

The old lady is so peaceful, if the original owner is really resigned to fate, then the next fate is that the original owner will spend the rest of his life with Mrs. Lu in this small courtyard. After Mrs. Lu left, she lived by taking the subsidies given by Lin Xiuran and Lu Canwen, and she was happy to be accompanied by the cat and dog.

As a little daughter-in-law from Lujia Town, she doesn't know the people outside, and after coming here, she won't go anywhere except for this small courtyard. Not even a friend.

Even if others know about her existence, they may praise Lin Xiuran for her generosity and praise Lu Canwen for being responsible.

After Mrs. Lu returned to the room, Ruan Huizhen closed the door and began to think about her future plans.

At first, she planned to file for divorce under the pretext that Lu Canwen had another woman, and go back to the provincial capital as soon as possible to start a new life. But now, she doesn't want to be cheap Lu Canwen and Lin Xiuran.

Why did he, the original partner, leave the Lu family in disgrace. Have all these years been in vain? When she meets an acquaintance in the future, how will others speculate about the reason for her divorce?

Lu Canwen is a well-known literati in this era, and how will others talk about his original wife in the future. Obviously, no one will say that Lu Canwen is not, but will try their best to belittle her as the original partner. Lu Canwen's shadow will always be with her.

Ruan Huizhen thought very well, she will develop her career in the future, and maybe get married. She must not let Lu Canwen's marriage affect her future life.

Whether it is to breathe a sigh of relief, or to be innocent in the future, and to stand generously in front of the world, she must not admit this loss.

She not only wants to divorce, but also wants to divorce vigorously, letting everyone know that it is not that she Ruan Huizhen is bad, but that Lu Canwen is ruthless and unjust, and Lin Xiuran seduces a married man regardless of shame.

As a woman who had been battered, Nguyen Huizhen locked herself in her room for a few days, and when she came out again, her face was pale.

After all, she was ashamed of her daughter-in-law, and Mrs. Lu didn't say anything about her, but just persuaded her not to mention the divorce.

"Let's talk about these things later, mother, I want to go out."

Ruan Huizhen said sullenly.

"It's okay to go out for a walk, or I'll accompany you." The old lady looked at her daughter-in-law worriedly.

Ruan Huizhen shook her head, "No need, I'll go out by myself." I just looked in the mirror and realized that I was indeed not as beautiful as Miss Lin. I want to go out and buy two clothes. ”

"Okay, it's good to buy clothes." Seeing that Ruan Huizhen wanted to open, Mrs. Lu finally relieved, "You go out for a walk, just come back early." ”

Ruan Huizhen replied and left without looking back.

Anyway, she is a woman who has suffered a huge blow now, and any change is reasonable. So she doesn't want to pretend to be the original owner anymore.

After going out, Ruan Huizhen happily called a rickshaw, "Find the best barber shop." ”

At this time, the barbershop was not as open as it was later. It's also good to cut your hair, though.

Ruan Huizhen has very long hair, and she usually wears an old-fashioned bun next to her, which looks a little old. She had long felt that it was too much trouble, so she would simply ask the barber to cut her a popular student's head. With her delicate face, she suddenly became several years younger.

After coming out of the barber shop, she found a clothing store and bought two simple and elegant cheongsams, and the colors were also elegant beige and light blue. Of course, these two clothes are not as delicate as Lin Xiuran. After all, she is now playing a weak little daughter-in-law who was robbed of her husband by the mistress and was mistreated.

Looking at herself in the mirror with a little bit of the current student-like appearance, Ruan Huizhen touched her hair with satisfaction.

Well, it's finally a bit pleasing to the eye.

After changing her image, Ruan Huizhen regained the feeling of her previous life.

After buying a copy of the Shanghai Literary Newspaper in the hands of the newsboy, and buying a pen and paper, Ruan Huizhen walked home relaxed.

She's ready to write a novel.

The name of this novel has been thought of - "Women Don't Cry"

The subject matter is also ready-made, and it starts with the life of the original owner and his mother-in-law over the years. In the first chapter at the beginning, Ruan Huizhen also thought about it, and the beginning was "His back is getting farther and farther away, and I have been standing at the intersection and watching, waiting for him to turn back...... Over the years, I have often wondered when he will come back. My mother-in-law and I have been waiting for him. During the Spring Festival this year, he didn't come back, and there was no rice at home, so I took the bracelet left by my mother to exchange it for money......"

That's right! She plans to write an article about the original owner's experience and publish it in the newspaper. Of course, some of these details have to be rendered and the names have to be changed. Just a rough process of retention.

Although Ruan Huizhen does not have outstanding literary talent, thanks to Ms. Ailing, she can read a lot of novels written by female writers during the Republic of China. And she doesn't plan to write with others, she just wants to publish this story.

As for how well it sold, she didn't care. When she and Lu Canwen divorce, this newspaper will have an unexpected effect.

When she returned home, Mrs. Lu was surprised to see Ruan Huizhen's body change, and then she was very happy, "Canwen will definitely like you when she sees you like this." Huizhen, I knew you would want to open it. Women still have to fight. ”

Who is rare? Ruan Huizhen pursed her lips and remained silent without speaking.

In the next few days, Ruan Huizhen began to work behind closed doors, writing novels all day long.

Mrs. Lu also saw her changes, but she was also full of helplessness.

A few days later, the manuscripts for the first few chapters had been sent.

Ruan Huizhen specially inquired about the submission rules of this era, and at this time, the manuscript also had to be screened. So Ruan Huizhen voted for several newspapers at the same time. The Shanghai Literary Newspaper she most wanted to publish did not ask her about her manuscript, but a newly opened newspaper wrote to her to inform her that the manuscript had been completed and sent her the manuscript fee. The cost is not much, an ocean.

Then, the next day, Ruan Huizhen found her article in this newspaper. And it's on the front page.

After reading this newspaper, Ruan Huizhen finally knew why other newspapers did not have a copy of her manuscript, only this newspaper had a copy of guò. It turned out that this edition of the newspaper was aimed at women. Newspapers are generally filled with sentimental novels. Ruan Huizhen's article is also the first novel in the newspaper to narrate the life of the daughter-in-law of the house in the first person. Although it is not romantic, it is very contagious. The editor-in-chief of the newspaper is also a new woman, and when she saw this article, she was immediately chosen.

"We are a women's newspaper, for such women in the old society who are deeply persecuted by feudalism, we must let the majority of women see it, take it as a warning, and help them at the same time." That's what the newspaper's editor-in-chief, Huang, said.

Xu Chunlai, the editor in charge of this edition, asked, "Editor-in-chief, is this story true?" Is the treasure in this really stored zài? How could there be such a stupid woman. If the man never returns, she should leave and find her own happiness. ”

"I don't know if there is a Zhenzhen deposit, but I do know that in our country, there are still thousands of traditional daughters-in-law like Zhenzhen. Those men are merry and happy outside, but they abandon their wives at home, which is the sadness of the times. Editor-in-chief Huang said with emotion on his face.

Xu Chunlai knew that Editor-in-Chief Huang was once the daughter-in-law of a wealthy Shanghai family, but unfortunately her husband found a few aunts. In the end, he left the wealthy family with his children and lived alone.

Xu Chunlai said, "I hope that Zhenzhen's husband will get ahead as much as possible and come back to pick up Zhenzhen and them to live a good life." ”

Young women are still dreaming about good things at this time.

Of course, this is also a fantasy in the minds of many female readers who see the story.

They have now begun to imagine that the end of the story must be that handsome and talented husband, who worked alone outside and became famous, and then was moved by Zhenzhen's virtuous kindness, and finally took Zhenzhen and her mother-in-law to live in a big city together, and the two loved each other and lived a perfect life.

The story written by Nguyen Huizhen is not too long.

By the time the story was serialized in the third issue, it was already the hostess Zhenzhen who rummaged through all the places where things were put in the house, and finally turned out two sweet potatoes and boiled a bowl of sweet potato soup for her mother-in-law. Then the hostess Zhenzhen herself, but because she was reluctant to eat, fainted in the kitchen.

This is where the story comes to an abrupt end, and soon the newspaper receives many letters from readers. There is abuse, saying that the author is ruthless. There are also requests for Zhenzhen to live. Some people are even imagining the next development of the story, maybe it was Zhenzhen's husband who suddenly returned and saved Zhenzhen. Some people even asked for Zhenzhen's address, saying that they could provide material help.

The newspaper forwarded the letters to Nguyen Hoi Jin. Ruan Huizhen flipped through it casually and continued to write the next story.

Of course Zhenzhen did not die, she was sure that her husband would definitely come back, she was worried about her husband, she was not worried about her mother-in-law, and finally survived. The mother-in-law gave her a bite of sweet potato soup and she survived. And in the big winter, I wash people's clothes to earn living expenses.

When I saw Zhenzhen couldn't hold on in the heavy snow and fell into the snow, it once again caused many people to cry.

Fortunately, this time the story is not interrupted, Zhenzhen wakes up, and meets a good employer, gives her food, and allows her and her mother-in-law to spend the New Year safely.

This year, the husband still hasn't come back.

Looking at this, readers began to speculate that Zhenzhen's husband must be dead, otherwise he would not have been heard from in the past few years.

But at this point in the story, it doesn't matter whether Zhenzhen's husband comes back or not. They are more concerned about what kind of fate Zhenzhen, a weak and strong silly woman, will have, and will she survive?

"Editor-in-chief, I didn't expect that the story "Women Don't Cry" would be so popular. Obviously, at the beginning, no one paid much attention, but I didn't expect these issues to attract so much attention, and now most of the letters sent by readers are addressed to this author. ”

Editor-in-Chief Huang took a sip of coffee and said with a smile, "Women are emotional animals, and the same emotional stories can no longer impress them." A miserable woman is more capable of arousing their overflowing sympathy. ”

Xu Chun looked at the manuscript paper, "Zhenzhen is so stupid, when she almost starved to death before, she didn't sell her parents' relics." Now in order to pay off her husband's debts, she has taken away all the relics of her parents. This chapter will surely lead to many more topics. ”

"It's a good thing that there's attention before there is a topic." Editor-in-Chief Huang was very happy. She liked this story very much, in fact, she had already guessed the development of the story, judging from her years of life experience and knowledge, Zhenzhen, a handsome husband, must have married a new love. It's a pity that there are still so many women who are expecting Zhenzhen's husband to turn into a hero and come back to save this poor woman.

Hey, woman, I just love to dream too much.

At Shanghai Women's University, during recess, teachers began to gather around to read the newspaper again.

One of the Chinese teachers, while watching, wiped his tears with a handkerchief, and said in a nasal voice, "The things left by my parents were sold like this, Zhenzhen must be very sad." Hey, my mom left me a necklace that I still keep. ”

An English teacher next to him also came around, "You're also reading this story." I'm also watching, hey, I think this woman is so stupid, if only we wouldn't wait for such a man. ”

The female Mandarin teacher said, "Maybe she's waiting for her husband to come back." ”

"I haven't been back for so many years. Hey, I'd rather this man die now, so Zhenzhen won't wait for nothing. If he is still alive, it is impossible to think about it. ”

The English teacher looked back at Lin Xiuran, who was reading a book, "Xiuran, what will happen if you tell a story?" ”

Lin Xiuran raised her head from the book and smiled confusedly, "What story did you say?" ”

"It's this Zhenzhen's story, "Women Don't Cry", which has been very popular recently."

Lin Xiuran suddenly came over, "Oh, I only read the previous issue of this story, and I didn't read it." There's nothing to see, this Zhenzhen's husband doesn't love her in the first place, and there's no point in waiting any longer. ”

She usually reads some literary works, and she doesn't have the heart to read these newspapers. The reason why I saw this story was that a student in the class was reading the newspaper during class, and she found out, and after taking the newspaper, she glanced at it a few times.

When the two female teachers heard this, their faces were a little complicated, and the English teacher said, "You can't say that, if you really don't want to, just don't get married." Maybe Zhenzhen can marry an ordinary man and have children, and it doesn't have to be so hard. ”

The Mandarin teacher also nodded. From a woman's point of view, she also felt that Zhenzhen might as well marry an ordinary man.

Lin Xiuran said indifferently, "Isn't it written above, it was set by feudal parents, and feudal thinking is harmful." That's why now we have to learn new ideas and not be oppressed by feudalism. Anyway, I think this husband is also a victim. ”

After speaking, he stood up with his book, "Okay, I still have class, let's talk later." ”

When Lin Xiuran left, the faces of the Chinese teacher and the English teacher were not very good-looking. It's a bit of a feeling that the three views have been refreshed. Is it really appropriate to blame all these tragedies on feudal ideology?

In fact, the manuscript in Ruan Huizhen's hand has already been completed.

The end of this story is only to stop at the moment when the husband's other wife appears. However, Ruan Huizhen was not in a hurry to send it out, and still sent manuscripts to the newspaper issue by issue.

The layout has been completed, and Nguyen Huizhen is back on the streets.

Lin Xiuran hasn't come to the door again for a while, only Lu Canwen has come twice, and Ruan Huizhen didn't come out to see him in the room. However, when she heard the movement outside, Mrs. Lu had to argue with him every time she broke up.

She only needs to wait for the results of the Lu family's affairs, and she doesn't want to waste her free time, so she walks around Shanghai all day.

The more she comes into contact with this era, the more she has a sense of belonging to this era. She used to be just a spectator, but now she feels like she's one of them.

Thinking about this era, even people like Lu Canwen are promoting emerging culture and awakening the people, not to mention those people with lofty ideals who have been in the past, are working hard for the rejuvenation of the motherland.

In such times, how could she retreat.

Ruan Huizhen made up her mind, and after returning to the provincial capital to gain a foothold, she began to develop industry. Supporting the development of domestic industry can also accumulate some property, and after the outbreak of the war in the future, you can donate to the anti-war team.

After buying an up-to-date newspaper, Ruan Huizhen took the car home.

In the car, she casually flipped through her latest story, but found that the front page of her story turned out to be a missing notice, to be exact, it should be a revelation for medicine.

After reading this news, Ruan Huizhen definitely felt that this news was probably published in every chapter of the newspaper in Shanghai, and it was all on the front page.

Because the person who sent this news was the largest gang in Shanghai, the Qing Gang.
