This is where the role of sowing discord comes in.

Old Madam Ye knew that Yao Rong was sowing discord, but it was one thing to know that it was one thing, and it was another thing to be miscalculated.

Especially after Yao Rong, the granddaughter-in-law, escaped, Old Madam Ye couldn't tolerate Wen Cui continuing to challenge her authority.

While the housekeeper was writing with a kerosene lamp, Yao Rong and Ye Heqi were sitting under the electric lamp flipping through the newspaper.

This is a newspaper she bought from a hotel waitress with rental information.

After browsing all the rental information in the newspaper, Ye Heqi couldn't help but gasp, and suddenly suspected that his decision to come to Shanghai was wrong.

What is the salary level like in this era?

A very famous librarian at Peking University has a salary of eight yuan a month, and he is still owed wages.

Ordinary staff members of foreign banks earn more than 10 yuan a month, and those who are higher can earn 20 yuan.

The income of the manager of the foreign bank will be higher, and there will be other bonuses and subsidies in addition to the basic salary, but the average monthly income is only 50 yuan.

However, in the Shanghai concession, a one-bedroom house with a bathroom and kitchen is not the kind with a particularly good location, and how much does it cost for a month?

Twenty dollars.

According to Ye Heqi's memory, the current price is relatively normal.

In the thirties, after Japan launched the war of aggression against China, countless people poured into the Shanghai market from other places in order to escape the war, causing the rents in the Shanghai market, especially in the concession area, to rise again and again.

"I thought that the rent in Shanghai was at most one or two yuan more expensive than Beiping......" Ye Heqi covered his face and fell on the bed, wailing, "This is too expensive." ”

Yao Rong smiled and said, "It's okay, we don't have much cash in hand, but I brought out a lot of jewelry." ”

Old Mrs. Ye and Ye Fuguang would definitely not give her any valuable jewelry, but when she married Ye Fuguang, Old Man Ye was still in charge.

Old Man Ye knew the attitude of other people in Ye Mansion towards her, so he gave her a lot of good things to accompany her, so that she could live a little more confidently in Ye Mansion.

Of course, Yao Rong said this to comfort Ye Heqi, she would definitely not let herself get mixed up with pawning things.

"No, we must not get to the point of living as things."

As soon as he heard this, Ye Heqi sat up suddenly, his right hand clenched tightly into a fist, and he looked like he was covered in chicken blood.

Yao Rong: "It's all here, let's spend the New Year in Shanghai first." Wait until the beginning of spring next year, if we don't have a stable income, let's think about the next step. ”

Ye Heqi nodded.

Indeed, it's all coming.

"Mother, then let's go see this set tomorrow." Ye Heqi pointed to a certain house above.

This house is located in the public concession, the location is not good, far from the bustling area of the concession; Of course, it's not biased.

One bedroom with room for two single beds, bathroom and kitchen.

The rent for a month is twenty oceans.

Yao Rong nodded indifferently: "Okay." ”

The two tossed for a day and a night, and their spirits were always in a highly tense state, and after finalizing the matter of renting a house, they barely supported the washing, and then fell asleep on the bed one after another, and slept directly until the next day when they were about to check out before waking up.

After checking out, Ye Heqi pointed to the tram not far away and said to Yao Rong: "Mother, let's go take the tram, this tram can go to the public concession." ”

After getting on the tram, Yao Rong and Ye Heqi found a place to sit down and watched the scenery flow outside the window.

Half an hour later, the tram arrived at the Public Concession.

Yao Rong and Ye Heqi got off the tram, took the map they had just bought, and searched for a long time all the way before they found the person in charge of renting the house.

After a brief exchange, the landlord led them to see the property.

"The bed, wardrobe, table and chairs are all large pieces of furniture."

"This room was rented to a teacher who was hired by Nanjing University and moved out. She left behind a lot of things, and you can use them if you can use them. ”

"And the twenty yuan is the rent, and the water and electricity have to be calculated separately, do you think it's okay?"

The environment of the house was better than Yao Rong imagined, but Yao Rong did not make a decision easily, and asked some other things, and only paid the money after making sure that it was correct.

The landlord handed them the keys and left.

Yao Rong rolled up his sleeves and said to Ye Heqi: "Heqi, let's hurry up and clean up the house." ”

"Okay." Ye Heqi replied crisply.

The two worked together, one was responsible for sweeping and tidying up things, and the other was responsible for wiping the dust, and they were busy for more than an hour to finally clean the house.

After resting for a while, Yao Rong said, "Let's go out to eat something, and then go buy some daily necessities." ”

There is no hurry, but mattresses, quilts, pillows and toiletries still have to be bought quickly.

Ye Heqi nodded, she remembered that when she came, she saw a grocery store, and the shop sold a lot of things.

After buying back and forth twice, the two of them bought everything, Yao Rong rubbed his shoulders and said to Ye Heqi, "Can we eat noodles tonight?" ”

Ye Heqi walked over to help Yao Rong pinch his shoulder: "Mother, let's go out to eat today, rest for a day or two and then cook by ourselves." When the time comes, you make lunch, and I'll make dinner. ”

"What about breakfast?"

"Hehe, breakfast is the cheapest, you can go out."

Yao Rong smiled and asked, "When did you learn to cook?" ”

Ye Heqi was weak-hearted: "What's so difficult about cooking." If I really can't do it, I can learn from my mother. ”

That night, Ye Heqi lay on the bed, looked at the moonlight that spilled into the house, and suddenly smiled.

This room is not as spacious as her room in Ye Mansion, but it is much more comfortable to live in than Ye Mansion.

No one will force her to do what she doesn't like, and no one will point fingers at her in her ear, saying "how women shouldn't be".

There will be no more interference with her mother's freedom to dress. Her mother no longer needs to be trapped in the back house for life because a man doesn't love her, withering in the best years.

She never knew why she became the "lucky one" and traveled to the Republic of China after dying in a car accident.

But now, she seems to know the meaning of her crossing.

Maybe her crossing can't change the general trend of history, but she has rewritten the trajectory of the fate of the person she loves the most.

"Mother, have you slept?"

Ye Heqi turned over, lay on the bed, pillow on the side of his face, and turned his head to look at Yao Rong in the next bed.

"Not yet, what's wrong?"

"Ahem, I would like to interview this beautiful lady, how are you feeling now?"

This question, in fact, has been very much wanted to ask since she knew that her mother was going to take her out of Ye Mansion.

It's just that in the past two days, there have been too many things and too tired, and it wasn't until now that he has completely settled down, and Ye Heqi found a chance to ask.

Yao Rong said: "Before answering this question from Miss Reporter, I have to correct one thing. You are calling me wrong, and you can't call me Mrs. Ye anymore. ”

"Miss Yao? Or Ms. Yao? ”

"Ms. Yao, of course. My daughters are the same age as you, Miss Reporter. ”

Ye Heqi couldn't hold back his laughter: "Okay, Ms. Yao." ”

Yao Rong learned Ye Heqi's posture and also turned his head to look at her: "My mood now is a little strange. At the beginning, in order to be able to live well, I found the Ye family all the way from my hometown; Now I have come here from the Ye family again in order to live well for myself and you. ”

"Will there be a moment when you feel hesitation and regret?"

"The moment I made the decision, I was in a relaxed mood. It's just a pity that there is one thing. Yao Rong sighed, "I forgot to take the article you wrote to the Women's Daily." ”

Ye Heqi thought something was wrong, she smiled: "My article was not well written." My writing is not wonderful enough, and my accumulation is not deep enough, and writing prose is undoubtedly an axe in front of everyone. ”

Yao Rong disagreed: "The little stories you made up to teach me literacy are very interesting." You're too young to write prose for a while, so why don't you write stories? It's like the "Flower in the Mirror" serialized in "Women's Daily". ”

Ye Heqi was stunned for a moment, lowered his eyes and pondered, and then found ......

It's really feasible!

At this time, the cultural community strongly advocated writing in the vernacular, but most of the vernacular was a bit half-literate and half-white.

If she writes a big vernacular, even if the content is not particularly exciting, for the sake of the style, maybe there are really newspapers willing to publish her article.

However, what exactly to write has to be considered.

"By the way, Heqi, let's send a letter to Miss Zhou and Editor-in-Chief Chen then." Yao Rong proposed, "If they knew about us, they would be very happy for us." ”

Ye Heqi nodded in response.

"Hey, I suddenly had an idea." Yao Rong sat up from the bed.

"What's the idea?" Ye Heqi was curious.

"Do you remember why Editor-in-Chief Chen asked you for a manuscript?"

"Because I repeated what I persuaded my mother."

"Yes, that's the point. If I'm not mistaken, Editor-in-Chief Chen's assessment is: For the vast majority of women who are deeply troubled in marriage, those words can be called deafening. You say, if you write an article about the two of us and post it in the Women's Daily, can you inspire more women? ”

"Shhh

Boy.

Really nice guys.

Her mother's idea is too trendy!

But I have to say that this proposal made Ye Heqi too excited.

Yao Rong hesitated a little and said, "...... But in this way, after the people of Ye Mansion saw the newspaper, would they go to the "Women's Daily" to find trouble with Editor-in-Chief Chen and Miss Zhou, and then try to ask the whereabouts of the two of us from Editor-in-Chief Chen and Miss Zhou. ”

Ye Heqi also sat up from the bed suddenly, and she suddenly thought of the various Republic of China gossip that the teacher liked to talk about the most when she was in junior high school.

"Mother, have you and Ye Fuguang received a certificate?"

Yao Rong shook his head: "There is only a marriage certificate." I took the marriage certificate with me when I ran away. ”

Ye Heqi rubbed his hands excitedly: "Since we have to write our deeds, why don't we do more." ”

"Do what?" Yao Rong asked, but he probably guessed Ye Heqi's thoughts in his heart.

"Unilaterally published a divorce statement in the newspaper, broke off from the Ye family, and divorced Ye Fuguang!"

"This ...... But I've never heard of someone getting away from me through the newspaper. ”

"No one has done this before, but that doesn't mean it can't be done." Ye Heqi sneered, "Didn't Ye Fuguang work in the Shanghai newspaper, and then we will publish the divorce statement in the Shanghai and Beiping newspapers at the same time, so that everyone knows what Ye Fuguang has done as a bastard - it's not that Ye Fuguang abandoned you, but you, took the initiative to kick him away, and chose to embrace a new and free life." ”

Yao Rong whispered: "Divorce is disgraceful to women, but for men, it's just a romantic affair." ”

"No, it won't." Ye Heqi's eyes showed a touch of cunning, "If my mother chooses to report divorce, you will be the first person to report divorce in the Republic of China, an anti-feudal fighter, and a pioneer of women's emancipation consciousness." And Ye Fuguang will only become the laughing stock of everyone. ”

Every melon I ate on the Internet back then did not disappoint her.

Isn't it marketing!

Isn't it just hype!

Her mother can be a role model.

She has thought of marketing strategies -

Yao Rong, an ordinary woman who was oppressed by feudalism, completed the awakening of consciousness and the rise of personality after reading "Women's Daily" with her daughter for a month, and finally took her daughter to rebel against the feudal patriarch, escape from feudal oppression, and welcome the new world of freedom.

It's touching, it's so touching.

Excited, so excited.

Any progressive who is interested in the awakening of the people's minds should have a copy of the "Women's Newspaper" in their hands, and they should take a look at the book adapted from a true story.

And the slogan is called-

If you don't read "Women's Daily", you don't understand awakening! ：，，
