32. Exchange your daughter for money
The child was born in order to gain the preference of her mother-in-law, and at this moment, Su Qi felt a little sorry for Zhao Xiangling's unborn child. From birth, you have to spend time in the game of two people.
Su Qi listened to Zhao Xiangling's words, and suddenly felt the sadness of rural women, and she couldn't get used to men's superiority, but she had to accept this reality, and in such a reality, they also slowly lost themselves, and they became the kind of people they used to look down on the most.
Su Ji thought that he was different from them, but he was also worried that after a long time, he would be assimilated by them.
From Zhao Xiangling's babbling words, Su Qi and his party arrived at the door of Yan Taisheng's house.
Second Uncle Yan's house is also a newly built house in recent years. In a large courtyard, there are five main houses standing upright. is more magnificent than Yan Fusheng's family,
Yan Taisheng went out for a walk after eating, and everyone else was at home.
Yan Jiajun welcomed people into the door, and the first thing he did was to introduce his daughter-in-law to Su Ji.
Yan Jiajun's daughter-in-law is called Zhou Shu, she is quiet and quiet, and she is bookish, according to others, she used to be Yan Jiajun's classmate, and her family conditions are not bad. But because of the turbulent situation and the middle of the family, in order not to let Zhou Shu suffer, Yan Jiajun married someone back home.
The two have been married for several years, and Zhou Shu has never been on the ground, but Yan Jiajun is as good as ever to her. was not less jealous of the villagers.
When Su Qi admired Yan Jiajun as a good man, Zhao Xiangling was also inquiring and sighed that Zhou Shu had a good life. From time to time, I leaned over to discuss a few sentences with Su Qi, and the words were full of disgust for my mother-in-law.
Yan Shoucheng chatted with others easily, but Su Qi was a little depressed all day because of Zhao Xiangling's words.
At noon, it was a meal at the second uncle's house, and at the dinner table, Yan Jiajun greeted him vigorously to eat, and Su Ji only barely ate two bites, and then put down his chopsticks.
After lunch, Su Ji and the others didn't stay long, and went out with each other.
Yan Shoucheng noticed Su Qi's unhappiness, but he didn't know the bottom in his heart, and waited until he separated from Yan Mingcheng and his wife before he comforted Su Qi: "Today's matter, I have wronged you, starting next year, you don't have to go to your relatives, just let me communicate these favors myself." ”
Su Ji responded with interest.
Yan Shoucheng looked at Su Qi's expression, and he didn't feel a little happy about your own promise. The thing that worries is definitely not this.
Thinking back to what happened today, Yan Shoucheng said tentatively: "The third uncle's family has always been like that, when they can use it, they greet each other with a smile, and if they don't need it, they will be like enemies." Zhao Xiangling's family has a younger sister who is one year younger than Yan Wangchuan. The third uncle has the heart to succeed in this marriage, so today he will be so good to Ming Cheng and his family. However, this marriage is also a blind toss, and the Zhao family is still counting on exchanging their daughter for money, and they can't send their daughter to a home like the third uncle's family. ”
Hearing the word for money, Su Ji looked at Yan Shoucheng and said sarcastically: "You are all people who have read books, and you still treat women as tools?" ”
Yan Shoucheng paused and explained, "No. I ......"
Yan Shoucheng was stunned for a while, and after thinking about it, he still talked about the matter between Yan Mingcheng and Zhao Xiangling.
"The sixth brother and sister have six daughters in the family, and there is only one son, because he was born late, his body is not strong, and he has been in the hospital for more than half a year."
At that time, Mingcheng knew her in the hospital, and Zhao Xiangling was alone in the hospital at that time, taking care of her younger brother. That day, she pushed her younger brother uphill, it was very difficult, she didn't hold it, she slipped straight down and hit Mingcheng. It just so happened that during that time, Ming Cheng also had some physical problems and stayed in the hospital for five days. By the time Ming Cheng was discharged from the hospital, the two were already inseparable. ”
Knowing that Ming Cheng had the idea of marrying her, Zhao Xiangling's family only offered one condition, a bride price of 500 yuan. Mingcheng has no money, but he has a good mother, and he knows that his son's daughter-in-law is almost gone, so he directly took out all the things at the bottom of the box. ”
The Zhao family took the money, and they focused on their son who had surgery, ignoring their daughter's situation, and finally Zhao Xiangling's sister helped her go out. The ceremony was completed, and it didn't become a joke in the eyes of others. ”
After talking about others, Yan Shoucheng affirmed again: "What I just meant is not that I don't think I am a woman, and there is discrimination against women, but in the eyes of rural people, girls are not as good as men, and most of the time, they are just items exchanged for benefits." ”
Su Qi listened and asked himself for a long time: "Why do rural people think that women are inferior to men?" ”
Whether it is in the past life or now, there are many people around Su Ji who are oppressed by patriarchal thinking. Su Qi never found the answer.
"Because of strength, or to put it another way, profit," Yan Shoucheng said.
"Because of the biological differences, men and women are born with different strength. In the countryside, no one sits and eats rice, so when it is time to work, the more energetic can do more. In an era when it is necessary to rely on brute force to survive, strength means that there are interests, and the party with interests is naturally sheltered. ”
The world is bustling, all for profit, the world is bustling, all for profit.
Su Ji relieved the doubts in his heart, but he was still a little unconvinced: "I don't have enough strength, I have time to make up, women are not muddy, they should go to work, and they should go to the ground." It doesn't have to be a man to do less, and there is always no gender issue, which erases the contribution of women. ”
Yan Shoucheng shook his head with a smile: "Farming is a job that depends on the sky to eat, it's not that you can delay it as long as you want, many times, it is harvested in a hurry, which only fuels the expectations and preferences of the people in the village for boys." ”
Su Qi bowed his head silently and didn't speak for a long time.
However, she has an idea in her heart, and this idea, in the years to come, has helped thousands of women find their own value, their own future, and obtain equal treatment for men and women.
The days without entertainment projects are difficult, and Su Qi and Yan Shoucheng, who returned home, stared at each other.
When he secretly looked at it with his peripheral vision, Yan Shoucheng suddenly found that Su Qi seemed to have lost weight.
