Ancient women awaken: loving yourself is the way to go

Chapter 127 1 Everything is getting better

Looking back to when I was young, I gave birth to a daughter as my first child. At that time, I suffered from the bullying of my mother-in-law and the cold eyes of my husband.

Their attitude made me deeply feel that only with a son can a family have a foothold.

So, I tried my best and gave birth to three sons in a row, and finally became a daughter-in-law who had many children and was envied by everyone.

I have poured all my love and care into my sons, and I have tried my best to meet their every request.

Whenever there is meat at home, I will put it into my sons' bowls without hesitation.

However, I always had a grudge against my daughter, thinking that she was not a boy, which caused me to suffer so much cold stares.

Therefore, she could only eat leftovers and suffer all kinds of grievances.

However, when I was seriously ill, my sons' indifference and callousness made me completely desperate. Not only did they refuse to pay for my medical expenses, they also teamed up to kick me out of the house.

My daughter, the one I once neglected, ran around for my illness and tried her best to find medicine for me. She ignored her own fatigue and hard work, just to make me recover.

After my rebirth, I know my mistakes and regrets. I swear that in this life, I will love my daughter well and never let her suffer any grievances. If anyone dares to bully her, I will make him pay a heavy price!

Seeing my mother-in-law was about to take the only bowl of meat to her sons' room and let them enjoy it alone, I felt a strong sense of anger and unwillingness. I stood up suddenly, walked forward quickly, and snatched the bowl of meat.

Then he turned and walked towards his daughter and placed the bowl of meat in front of her.

I looked at my daughter's surprised and slightly frightened eyes and said softly, "Daughter, you eat."

This time, I will not be harsh and indifferent to her like I was in the past. I want to let her know that she is a member of this family and she has the right to enjoy the same treatment and care as her brothers.

However, to my surprise, my daughter did not reach out to pick up the meat, but cried, "Mom, I don't want to eat it. I don't want to be spanked." At that moment, my heart was broken.

In the past, in order to prevent my daughter from snatching food from my son, I put meat in front of my daughter many times like this. Whenever she tried to pick up her chopsticks, I would beat and scold her...

After listening to this, Xinghuo wiped the tears from her eyes and said, "My Lady, this story is so realistic. It's so sad to hear it."

Shen Xingxi patted Xinghuo on the shoulder, "God has mercy on the grass, and the world values ​​the late sunshine. Let's look forward to the future together!"

Xinghuo nodded heavily and left with the record book.

She wants to collect similar true stories, expose the tragedy, tear apart the darkness and welcome the light!

With the help of money, the book was soon published. Xinghuo hired a storyteller to tell the story in a vivid and emotional way in teahouses and other places.

In order to let more people hear the content of the book, she also organized an audio book event, where anyone who could answer three questions correctly could participate in a lottery.

There are five first prize winners, each with a prize of ten taels of silver; there are three second prize winners, each with a prize of five taels of silver; and the rest of the participants in the lottery will each receive one penny of silver.

As soon as this activity was launched, people came out in droves. They thought it would be a good opportunity not to miss out on taking advantage of it. If they answered correctly, they could get a penny. What's more, what if they won ten taels of silver?

But they didn't expect that the titles of these three questions were: Please recall what happened to the mother in the story and tell a similar story you have heard.

Think back to what happened to the daughter in the story and tell me a similar story you have heard.

Please comment on whether there was anything wrong with the mother’s actions after her rebirth?

Taking into account that many people are illiterate, there are ten lottery venues for oral answers.

The questions were not difficult, especially the first two, which I answered almost without difficulty. It was only the last question that made me a little hesitant.

The idea that it is better to rely on a daughter than a son is still a little difficult for them to accept, but they have to admit that since they have met the future in their previous life, the mother did nothing wrong.

But after answering the questions, everyone unexpectedly discovered that the first two questions many people answered were not made up, but real.

With so many realities before their eyes, it was hard for them not to be shaken, and their daughter's importance in their hearts also increased a little.

And it was not only Shen Xingxi's people who were taking action in the capital. The Women's College received a donation of 1,000 taels in five months. The Business College added courses such as wood carving and mechanical engineering. Several shops were opened in the capital to recruit women...

The fighting among women has visibly decreased, and the women's bent spines have become more proud.

Of course, struggle is inevitable, but they try to maintain healthy competition.

For example, Mrs. Zhuo, who had given the shop to her concubine, was competing with her concubine for the same order. When the fight came to a head, she made a bet with her husband that whoever lost would have to refuse to sleep with her for half a month.

Only then did the men realize that their status in the mansion had dropped dramatically.

They used to enjoy the tranquility of the backyard, but now they suddenly missed the days when there was competition.

In March, when spring comes and everything comes back to life, the much-anticipated imperial examination begins.

Shen Xingxi had confidence in Mrs. Zhao and her people, and she came to the academy to teach as usual.

Listening to the students discussing the imperial examination, she smiled and wrote the word "menstruation" on the slate.

"Students, I wonder if this topic can help you regain your focus?"

The girls blushed. Is this something they can say openly?

Shen Xingxi narrowed her eyes: "I see that most people are blushing, can you tell me why?"

Seeing no one answered, she looked at Miss Luo, who had the thickest skin.

"Luo Qingchuan, stand up and answer."

Miss Luo stood up, her voice not as spoiled as usual, but with a girl's shyness: "Sir, this is too difficult to say."

Shen Xingxi sneered, "Then let me ask you, do all healthy women have their periods?"

She raised her voice and said, "So menstruation means that you have grown up and can have children. It is a gift from God that is different from men. Why is it so difficult to talk about it?"

The students who knew each other looked at each other, and one of them stood up and said, "Mr. Yan, I agree with you, but I still can't bring myself to talk about my period in public. I've seen my cousin get her pants soiled because of her sudden period, and she was chased and laughed at by others."

"Many people's periods come suddenly, and they can easily stain their pants." Shen Xingxi wrote the word "resistance" on the slate.

“Students, I know your families have taught you to be tactful in dealing with people, but there is truth in the world and true love in the world.

If you leave the academy, I agree that you should stay out of things that do not concern you and protect yourself first. But now I hope that you can resist bravely. As long as you stand on the side of justice, the academy professor and the queen are willing to protect you!

So now you have enough confidence to uphold justice in your heart, and I hope that when you see others being laughed at again, you can help them if you can.”

Miss Zuo stood up and said, "Sir, I saw someone get it on his pants. I used clothes to cover it up, but I was scolded for being shameless."

She dropped her eyes, "I really don't dare to help anymore."

"Let me tell you the correct way to resist when you encounter someone rude."
