Seeing Chen Wan get into the rickshaw, Yao Rong and Ye Heqi walked back home slowly.

took off the padded jacket on his body, Yao Rong wore a close-fitting white sweater, leaned on the sofa, picked up the newspaper on the table and continued to look through it, and even asked Ye Heqi which article in it was better to write.

Ye Heqi: "......"

Ye Heqi felt that her mother was too chic.

Anyway, she definitely can't do it so lightly.

Yao Rong caught a glimpse of her appearance of wanting to speak and stopped, and immediately understood what she was thinking, and chuckled: "If you think they are wrong, you can also write an article to refute them." ”

Ye Heqi sighed.

She also thought of it.

It's just that she also said before that her writing is not good, her accumulation is not deep enough, and she can't write any exquisite articles.

Yao Rong reasoned with the facts: "No matter how bad your writing is, it must be better than mine." But Editor-in-Chief Chen not only made an appointment with me, but also said that he would publish my article on the front page. ”

Oh yes. Ye Heqi was woken up by Yao Rong, and pondered: "Editor-in-Chief Chen will be so excited, firstly, you are one of the parties to the incident, and secondly, the arguments you put forward are refreshing. ”

Yao Rong nodded: "Editor-in-Chief Chen must know that I can't write any flowery articles, so what she wants is not a well-written article." ”

"In this time, there are enough articles of this type."

"What she wants is for me to write an essay that is genuine and at the same time has a fresh point of view."

Yao Rong's words almost told Ye Heqi all the ideas for answering the questions.

Ye Heqi was instantly full of confidence: "I understand!" ”

What other author can be more genuine than the person concerned.

And the novel point of view?

Hmph, she didn't cross for nothing, okay.

That's what she's good at!

Yao Rongwaner: "That's right, then our mother and daughter can write articles together." ”

"I also want to ask Teacher Ye for more advice."

Ye Heqi waved his hand and said modestly: "Don't dare to give advice, we call it progress together." ”

Yao Rong shook his head and smiled, and continued to read the newspaper.

Ye Heqi glanced at the sky outside, got up and went to the kitchen to make dinner, and pondered his article by the way.

"There it is!"

After thinking about it all night, Ye Heqi finally thought of a good and bad idea before going to bed.

The notice was published on the seventh day.

Just when the heat of this scolding war gradually faded, Beiping's "Women's Daily" and Shanghai's "Women's Times" began to serialize "Fire Phoenix" at the same time.

The banners of the newspaper are-

"The first person to report a divorce in the Republic of China"

"The first shot of divorce for women in the Republic of China"

"Listen to the parties' account of the mental process of publishing the divorce notice"

"From the old-fashioned woman to the progressive woman, what did she really go through"

"The parties Yao Rong and Ye Heqi adapted their real experiences to restore the most real contemporary women's marriage dilemma"

……

On the streets of Beiping and Shanghai, children selling newspapers carried a thick stack of newspapers on their backs and kept chanting these slogans.

From time to time, someone called the newsboy and bought a newspaper from them.

The sensation caused by a divorce notice of two or three hundred words is definitely not as good as the sensation caused by a 100,000-word divorce notice.

In the past, the scolding war was limited to the cultural circles, and people who usually didn't pay much attention to newspapers had never heard of it.

But now that it's out, there are all kinds of "first shots", "first people", and "female divorces", and many people will buy a newspaper even if they want to see the excitement.

To use a more modern phrase, it is: this matter was originally only circulated in the circle, but now it is slowly starting to break the circle! The audience has expanded!

After all, this matter has both a high level of thought and a plot that the public likes to see. That is, one man and two women, emotional entanglement, family blood, and wealthy families.

Elegant and vulgar.

No matter what kind of audience you are, you can see what you are interested in.

And the expansion of the audience group has also made the scolding war that had gradually stopped set off again in a more intense way.

The previous scolding war was more limited to newspapers, but this article brought this matter into the eyes of more young students.

Compared with many conservative literati, the young students are undoubtedly more progressive and radical in their thinking.

Several major universities in Peking jointly held a debate to discuss whether this matter was right or wrong.

And the vast majority of young students believe that this is the right thing.

"Some people think that Ms. Yao's approach is too extreme."

"Some people have also put forward the argument that Ms. Yao should have reached a private agreement with the man before advertising it."

"But if you look closely, think about what kind of situation Ms. Yao faced at that time. Trapped in the back house, what qualifications does she have to negotiate with the man on an equal footing? ”

"Maybe as soon as she filed for divorce, she and her daughter would be locked up in the ancestral hall and subjected to clan law."

"Therefore, without the qualifications to negotiate on an equal footing, it is the most correct and wise thing to run away and then publish in the newspaper and seek the support of public opinion!"

"Sometimes a few people have to stand up and kick the door in exchange for the majority having the power to open the window."

At the end of the debate, a student leader stood up and presented his or her opinion.

And his words also helped their debate team successfully win the final victory of this debate competition.

In addition to holding debate competitions, these passionate young students also wrote articles for newspapers, and even organized donations to Yao Rong's mother and daughter, fearing that they would have difficulties in life after escaping from Yefu.

After Chen Wan heard these rumors, she couldn't laugh or cry, and specially published a statement in the next issue of the newspaper, to the effect that:

Yao Rong's mother and daughter's life after escaping from Yefu was very peaceful and smooth, and there was a description of the relevant content at the end, so everyone didn't need to worry about their future lives.

After seeing this statement, the young students stopped donating money, and instead wrote letters from readers, and then sent letters from readers to the newspaper.

Chen Wan became more and more crying and laughing, and planned to wait for the serialization to be completed, and then send the received letter to the Shanghai market.

Yao Rong and Ye Heqi couldn't see the letter from the readers in Beiping for the time being, but they saw the letters from the readers in Shanghai first.

It was sent by the Women's Times.

It was a full carton.

Ye Heqi sat at the desk, like opening a blind box, and randomly pulled out a letter from it to read.

There are many different types of letters.

There are special ones sent to scold Ye Heqi and Yao Rong.

During this time, Ye Heqi's mentality has been practiced, and she just laughed at the scolding her, and even had the heart to comment: "The scolding is not at all level." ”

But more than that, it's encouraging them.

Or maybe I was inspired by it.

There was even a girl who wrote to ask Ye Heqi if she could publish those literacy stories into a book, and she also wanted to buy a copy for her mother.

This proposal made Ye Heqi a little moved.

She handed the letter to Yao Rong and asked for Yao Rong's opinion.

Yao Rong thought for a while and said, "I think it's very good, you can ask Editor-in-Chief Chen or Editor-in-Chief Bei to see if they are willing to publish." ”

"If they want to, they can print and sell while the heat is still there."

Ye Heqi rubbed his hands, with obvious excitement on his face: "I think they should be happy." Popularizing Chinese characters and allowing more people to learn to read and write is what they have always wanted to do. ”

And publishing is also a good thing for her.

If it can be published, she will have another amount of manuscript fees.

Yao Rong smiled: "That's right, both of us have written our manuscripts." Tian sent the article to the newspaper office, and by the way, asked the editor-in-chief Bei in person. ”

This is the first time that Yao Rong and Ye Heqi have visited the editorial office of Women's Times.

Somewhat surprisingly, the staff of the Women's Times are all women.

After hearing the names of Yao Rong and Ye Heqi, the staff in charge of entertaining them said warmly: "I'm going to call Editor-in-Chief Bei." ”

"You sit on the couch for a while, and if you get bored, you can flip through the newspapers hanging on the shelf."

After a while, Bei Lian walked out, still holding two cups of freshly poured tea in his hands: "Drink some water first, why did you come here, did you hear about the newspaper?" ”

Yao Rong and Ye Heqi glanced at each other.

Ye Heqi said with concern: "Is something wrong?" ”

"Looks like you don't know yet." Pei Lian's expression was solemn, and he took out today's copy of "Shanghai Daily" from the newspaper shelf, "Ye Fuguang wrote an article and published it on the front page of "Shanghai Daily". ”

"I just contacted Chen Wan, and Chen Wan said that the front page of Qiming Daily also had this article."

"In the supplements of "Shanghai Daily" and "Qiming Daily", there is also an article written by Ye Fuguang's friend Zhang Nianzhao."

Zhang's article corroborates Ye Fuguang's rhetoric.

Speaking of this, Bei Lian twisted his eyebrows and said: "Originally, it was serialized until now, and public opinion has basically favored you, but these two articles by Ye Fuguang and Zhang Nianzhao are likely to reverse public opinion again." ”

Yao Rong took the newspaper, lowered his eyes and swept his eyes, and was immediately happy.

Ye Fuguang's article is very interesting.

It goes something like this:

If the Ye family hadn't taken Yao Rong in back then, how could Yao Rong have enjoyed the life of a young grandmother for twenty years?

He and Yao Rong's marriage, maybe he owes Yao Rong, but the Ye family definitely never owes Yao Rong.

However, Yao Rong and Ye Heqi's running away from home, as well as their divorce in the newspaper, and even publishing all kinds of private affairs in the newspaper caused great harm to the Ye family.

His mother-in-law fell ill as a result.

His grandmother, too, suffered a stroke and was paralyzed because she couldn't stand such a big blow.

"Why should the matter between you and me cause trouble to my family?"

"Maybe in your mind, my family is no longer your family. But they are also Tsurusu's grandmother and great-grandmother. ”

"Where did you place Tsurusu when you did these things?"

"If something happens to Heqi's grandmother and great-grandmother, how do you want Heqi to deal with himself from now on?"

……

After Ye Heqi also finished reading this article, Yao Rong turned back to the next page, and sure enough, he saw Zhang Nianzhao's article.

Zhang Nianzhao said in the article that he had been to Yefu twice.

The first time was on the day of the announcement.

Mrs. Ye had a stroke and fainted that day.

The second time was the tenth day of the announcement, and the fourth day of serialization.

Old Madam Ye said in person that since Yao Rong and Ye Heqi escaped, she has been lingering on the sickbed.

Then after hearing about the notice, I had a stroke without coming up in one breath.

At this point, the old lady struggled to lift her left hand, which was not very sensitive because of the stroke, and trembled and wiped her tears.

She told the author that she didn't ask for anything else, but only asked Yao Rong and Ye Heqi to return to Ye's house to admit their mistakes, so that she could feel the happiness of Chenghuan's knees again. She will definitely forgive them regardless of her previous suspicions. ”

"Why should such an innocent old man suffer such pain that he should not have suffered?"

……

After reading the two articles, Yao Rong: "......"

really underestimated Ye Fuguang.

A divorce notice and an article made public opinion almost tilt towards her and Ye Heqi.

But Ye Fuguang avoided talking about his pile of, and directly started a new topic and accused Yao Rong from a moral level.

Public opinion has always been sympathetic to the vulnerable.

In the face of Ye Fuguang, Yao Rong and Ye Heqi are vulnerable groups.

But in the face of Yao Rong and Ye Heqi, Mrs. Ye, who was weak and had a stroke and hemiplegia, seemed to have become a vulnerable group.

If Yao Rong hadn't heard about the farce of the Ye Mansion from the system, it would have been possible for Ye Fuguang to get around.

"Shameless! These two people are so shameless! ”

Soon, Ye Heqi also finished reading Zhang Nianzhao's article, and scolded angrily.

Bei Lian sighed: "This trick is very vicious...... But with my knowledge of newspaper opinion, this trick will be very useful. Chinese people have always valued filial piety. ”

After all, Mrs. Ye didn't have a stroke early or late, but she had a stroke at this time......

Ye Heqi gritted his teeth: "No wonder Ye Fuguang hasn't written an article to respond before, it turns out that he is waiting here." ”

"Are you going to respond?" Bei Lian's gaze fell from Ye Heqi to Yao Rong.

From reading the article to the present, Yao Rong has never said a word.

Yao Rong shook his head: "Don't rush to respond." I'm going to go back to Beiping. ”

Although he didn't know why Yao Rong suddenly returned to Beiping, Ye Heqi immediately said, "Mother, I'll go back with you." ”

"Okay."

Yao Rong looked at Bei Lian and said softly: "Editor-in-Chief Bei, the next "Women's Times" will continue to be serialized. ”

"I'll respond to this on the day it ends."

Seeing that Yao Rongcheng was in his chest, Bei Lian didn't ask in detail, but said: "No problem, if there is anything you need my help with, you just have to say." ”

Yao Rong: "There are really two things about our purpose today. ”

Bei Lian patted his forehead and said in annoyance: "Yes, yes, yes, I patronized to tell you about the newspaper, and I forgot to ask why you came here suddenly." ”

Yao Rong handed over the article written by her and Ye Heqi to Bei Lian, and told Bei Lian about the publication of the literacy story.

"I hope to wait for my response before publishing these two articles."

Bei Lian should take a bite.

In the afternoon of the same day, Yao Rong and Ye Heqi got on the train to Beiping.

They bought second-class carriages.

As the year approached, even the second-class carriages were full.

Opposite Yao Rong and Ye Heqi were two brightly dressed men.

The journey was long, so many people brought books and newspapers to pass the time, and what the two men were reading happened to be today's issue of "Shanghai Daily".

"Alas, I am very supportive of the pursuit of freedom and progress in divorce. But because of the pursuit of freedom and progress, my ex-husband's mother and grandmother fell ill, which is too undeserved. ”

"Who's to say it isn't. No matter how the Ye family is, they also provide them with food, shelter and clothing, and the two old ladies are also their relatives. ”

The views of these two people actually represent the views of the vast majority of people.

Ye Heqi heard their speeches and wanted to say something, glanced at Yao Rong, and swallowed it back.

Yao Rong picked up a piece of osmanthus cake, handed it to Ye Heqi's mouth, and coaxed with a smile: "Come on, come on, eat a piece of cake to cushion your stomach." ”

Ye Heqi couldn't cry or laugh, so he had to open his mouth and take a big bite.

She puffed out her cheeks, swallowed the pastry in her mouth with difficulty, leaned into Yao Rong's ear, and said in a breathy voice: "Mother, why aren't you in a hurry at all?" ”

Yao Rong replied in the same volume: "It's useless to be in a hurry." ”

Ye Heqi was stunned, and then puffed up again: "That's right, but I'm still angry." ”

Yao Rong pinched Ye Heqi's cheek: "Then you wait, then my mother will help you get out of this evil breath." ”

"You've always been showing off your powers before, this time, let my mother come."

Ye Fuguang dared to let Ye Heqi bear the infamy of unfilial piety?

Originally, she hadn't wanted to do that much.

After all, if you don't look at the monk's face, you also look at the Buddha's face, and Old Man Ye has always taken good care of her.

But Ye Fuguang did things first, so she can't be blamed for fighting back.

As soon as I left the train station, a cold wind blew in my face.

Yao Rong helped Ye Heqi put on a scarf, and was about to find a hotel nearby to cope with the night, when he heard a familiar voice not far away.

"Sister Yao, Sister Yao! Here! ”

Zhou Qihuai stood outside the crowd, beckoning to Yao Rong and Ye Heqi while trying to tiptoe.

"It's Miss Zhou." Ye Heqi saw Zhou Qihuai for the first time.

Yao Rong took Ye Heqi and walked over: "Miss Zhou, why are you here?" ”

Zhou Qihuai was carrying a briefcase in his hand, obviously rushing to the train station directly from the newspaper.

"Editor-in-chief Bei sent a telegram to our newspaper, saying that you are coming to Beiping, and I will count the time and come to pick you up."

"Editor-in-Chief Chen has to deal with the affairs of the newspaper, otherwise he will come with me."

Zhou Qihuai helped carry a bag of luggage: "Let's go, I'll take you to where I live, don't waste that money to stay in a hotel." ”

Yao Rong smiled and thanked Zhou Qihuai.

She owes Zhou Qihuai a lot of favors, and she owes a lot, so it's not bad this time.

Zhou Qihuai's house happens to be two bedrooms and one living room.

After arriving at the destination, Zhou Qihuai pointed to the guest bedroom and introduced: "The bedding has been changed in advance, do you see if there is anything missing?" ”

Yao Rong said: "No, we have brought everything else." ”

Zhou Qihuai put down his luggage and untied the red scarf wrapped around his neck: "Then let's take a rest and go out for dinner." ”

"Okay, do you have anything you want to eat, I'm in for a treat." Yao Rongdao.

Zhou Qihuai: "I still owe you and Heqi a meal." ”

Yao Rong also recalled the scene when they first met, and said with a smile: "There will be opportunities in the future." ”

When he went out, Yao Rong asked Zhou Qihuai about the public opinion in the newspaper in the past two days.

Zhou Qihuai shook his head: "It's not very good." ”

"That's it." Yao Rong nodded and said to Zhou Qihuai, "After eating in a while, I plan to go to someone to ask about some information." ”

Ye Heqi jumped out from behind: "Who are you looking for?" ”

Zhou Qihuai also asked, "Can I go with me?" ”

Yao Rong nodded: "Of course you can, the person I'm looking for has something to do with the article Ye Fuguang wrote." ”

The first person Yao Rong wanted to find was Wang Ma, who had served her for many years, and then denounced her.

After denunciating Yao Rong, Mrs. Ye promised Wang Ma that she would transfer Wang Ma to serve by her side.

But the tone was adjusted, and Mrs. Ye did not give Wang Ma any reward, nor did she give Wang Ma a salary increase.

In other words, Wang Ma did not get any benefit from it.

Even because she had just arrived at Mrs. Ye's yard, she didn't have any regular job, and she was often called to wipe Mrs. Ye's body.

Old Madam Ye was not a good person to serve, and after the stroke, Old Madam Ye's temper became more and more eccentric.

Ye Fuguang and Ye Yaozu couldn't please too much in front of her, and Wang Ma, a servant, couldn't please much.

After a period of time, Wang Ma was really distressed.

On this day, Wang's mother dragged her tired body back home, and was about to go to the kitchen to make a fire to cook, when she heard a knock at the door.

Wang's mother thought that her husband had forgotten to bring the key, and walked to open the door while complaining.

As a result, as soon as the door opened, when she saw the people standing outside the door, Wang Ma showed a ghost-like look on her face: "Mrs. Fufu! When will you be back! ”

Yao Rong said: "I made a special trip back to Beiping to find you. ”

This truth almost frightened Wang's mother into a big change: "Madam, I really didn't expect that you would cause such a big mess...... I regret it these days too......"

Yao Rong looked at Wang Ma and said lightly: "After reporting me, you should have a bad life." ”

If you have a good life, how can you regret it.

She didn't need to do anything to Wang Ma, Wang Ma had already paid the price for this matter.

Wang Ma's face was bitter, and she said cautiously: "What did the lady come to me for?" ”

Yao Rong didn't bother to correct the title of Wang Ma, and said straight to the point: "I want you to tell me what happened to Ye Mansion after I left Ye Mansion." and who was so angry that Mrs. Ye had a stroke. ”

Wang's mother's face changed greatly, and she was about to close the door with her backhand.

Zhou Qihuai saw Wang Ma's reaction, what else did she not know, and immediately stepped forward and blocked the door with her body.

Wang's mother was so anxious that she wanted to reach out and push Zhou Qihuai.

Yao Rong said: "Didn't you denounce me just for money?" The previous thing is in the past. This time, if you are willing to disclose the news to me, I can give you the corresponding money according to the level of your revelation. ”

Since Wang Ma came to serve her, she has never treated Wang Ma badly.

After all, with the original character, it is impossible to beat and scold Wang Ma.

But Wang's mother still denounced her for the sake of profit.

Then this time, Wang Ma can naturally report the Ye family for the sake of profit.

Sure enough, after Yao Rong's words fell, Wang Ma's face was filled with a smile for a moment: "Madam, Miss, and this girl, come in quickly, it's so windy outside, don't stand on the outlet." ”：，，
