Chapter 205

“Going to make me go to class?” Wang Zhi’e leapt to her feet.

Yang Yuyan found Wang Zhi’e cleaning the girls’ dormitory.

The curtains were taken down, cleaned, repaired and rehung. The painted tabletop was covered with a tablecloth made from an old bed sheet, and the painted head of the bed was covered with a piece of cloth. The clothes and shoes she took to Wang Zhi’e for replacement were repaired and embroidered.

Yang Yuyan and Yang Yucan looked at each other.

Wang Zhi’e was a young woman with an interest in life, and the life she longed for was bound to be more than toiling in a factory reeling silk until her joints were deformed.

“What can I study?” Wang Zhi’e would love to go to school, but she immediately followed up with an inferiority complex: “I …… can’t read or write.”

The Wang family raised their daughters, and surely they would not have bothered to pay for a teacher for them. Wang Zhi’e and her sisters have never read a book, even the Japanese elementary school that Yang Yucan’s student Wu Xiaoping attended, Wang Zhi’e and her sisters have never attended. It was not that the Wang family had no money, but it was not necessary.

The old view that a woman’s lack of talent is a virtue. A woman’s duty is to serve men with her beautiful young body in the first half of her life, and to nurse her children and take care of the household with her milk in the second half of her life. With an average life expectancy of 30 years, a woman really does not need to read and write in her life.

If they do read, they will become restless, and they will speak and act wildly. Just like the newspaper is now everywhere in the report of schoolgirls elope from home, there is an old man said, this is all because of the books, like in the past to keep women in the house, do not let them go out to see the people, there are not so many stories of elopement.

So Wang Zhi’e was given to a certain buyer by her parents when she was at her most beautiful.

Yang Yuchan asked Yang Yuyan before she came, “Have you ever thought that she just reads books and there is a possibility that she won’t change her ambitions.”

Yang Yuyan: “I have thought about it. This is normal. Are all those who read books decent people? Not really. Our father is a villain. It can be seen that reading does not make one a good person.”

But reading does open eyes. It can also change destiny for people whose lives are already at rock bottom.

In the past, Wang Zhi’e’s world was only as big as the Wang family, so her highest goal in life was to be an aunt next to Mrs. Wang, or more daringly, to be a Mrs. Wang!

After her horizons widened, she might be able to imagine herself as the mayor’s aunt.

Yang Yuyan ignores Yang Yucan’s wide-eyed stare and pulls her along to jokingly tell the legend of Mrs. Shao.

“Of course, it’s not quite in line with public order and morals, but it’s undeniable that Mrs. Shao avoided being a living widow for the rest of her life.” Yang Yuyan said.

Mrs. Shao is like Fu Peixian, who did not succeed in escaping from marriage, marrying at the behest of her parents, and then her husband going off to war and dying in battle. According to this society’s expectation of kindness, Mrs. Shao should be devoted to filial piety to her in-laws until she dies of old age. As to whether Mrs. Shao herself can derive happiness from serving her in-laws, this is beyond the concern of society at large.

“When there is not enough reward, society will start to give people high hats and tout the greatness of devotion.” Yang Yuyan, “But instead, I admire Mrs. Shao’s courage even more.”

Yang Yuchan couldn’t agree, she frowned, “Mrs. Shao has no name, it looks good now, when she gets old, could it be that the mayor will still be as good to her as he is now?”

Yang Yuyan: “I don’t think Mrs. Shao is pinning her whole life on the mayor. She was able to walk away from her home, and she must not be someone who is waiting for death with her hands tied when faced with a new predicament.”

“Sister, the biggest difference between me and you is that I don’t get stuck in my family, while you worship your family too much.” It was the first time Yang Yuyan said such nonchalant words to Yang Yucan.

This made Yang Yuchan think while feeling changed.

–Me, worshipping family?

Yang Yuyan took Yang Yucan’s arm as the two sisters continued to walk forward.

It was clear that the two had similar experiences, but she began to distrust families and marriages, while Yang Yuchan was instead more interested in building a perfect family.

This was really strange.

Yang Yuyan knew very well that even if she and Su Chunjun were in love now, she was certain that if one day, Su Chunjun’s love for her disappeared, and the two of them went from being in love to being disgruntled spouses, she wouldn’t necessarily want to keep her marriage intact.

Yang Yuchan, on the other hand, seemed to be the kind of person who would not turn back even if she went all the way to the black.

This made Yang Yuyan have to worry about her even more.

Wang Zhi’e first went to a pre-school class, also called a literacy class. This was a lasting policy of the university. Shi Wuwei had attended this class, and was arrested by Professor Dai after one year.

But the average student wouldn’t go that long, because the class was completely free, and if you didn’t go home at noon, you could still have a meal at school for free. In order to prevent people from specifically coming to cheat on their meals, so the semester was two months.

Geniuses like Shi Wuwei were a minority after all. After opening classes for so long, there was only a handful that could be picked up by the professors to enter the university.

Wang Zhi’e was an ordinary person with a normal IQ, and she didn’t have the willpower to hang her head from a beam. She graduated after two months. The result of her teaching was that she could read pictorials after graduation!

The Wang family also had the magazine Pictorial, which was bought by Wang Wanchuan for Mrs. Wang to read. Even Mrs. Wang, if she wanted to read a fashion magazine like Pictorial, she had to have her son secretly bring it back from outside.

Mrs. Wang’s weekday pastime was playing eight rounds. When the wives played eight rounds, Wang Zhi’e could sit on a small stool behind the screen closet and read the pictorials. At that time, she couldn’t read the words, but only looked at the pictures, and she could read them with great interest.

Now that she could read the pictures, and the school library had pictorials and magazines, Wang Zhi’e went to the library every day to borrow pictures and magazines to read.

She also found a job cleaning for the ladies in the girls’ dormitory.

This was a pleasant surprise.

Wang Zhi’e had an interest in beauty that ordinary cleaning women did not have, and she was able to keep the house clean and beautiful. Although there were not many female students living in the dormitory, it was more convenient to have a maid. Besides, Wang Zhi’e is the person they want to help, really want to push Wang Zhi’e to finish the study to the cruel society, the female students are a bit intolerant, so a few people discuss, jointly pay for her employment, a month a silver dollar.

I don’t know what Wang Zhi’e’s next fate will be, but to this point, everyone has done their best.

After Wang Zhi’e finished her studies and found a job at the same time, Yang Yucan called Ma Tianbao and told him the good news.

Ma Tianbao specially came to the school to visit Wang Zhi’e. After Ma Tianbao saw her, he came to the school to see her.

Wang Zhi’e was very nervous after seeing Ma Tianbao and asked him quickly, “Did my family go looking for me?”

Ma Tianbao shook his head, “No.”

After sending Wang Zhi’e away, the more troublesome thing was what to do in case the Wang family came looking for them.

Su Chunjun told Aunt Ma that if the Wang family dared to come, let them say they didn’t know.

In other words, they will play dumb and not admit that they have seen Wang Zhi’e, let alone admit that Wang Zhi’e’s disappearance has anything to do with them.

In order to prevent further accidents, Su Chunjun told Auntie Ma that this matter was entrusted to her.

But Su Chunjun also said to Yang Yuyan, “I guess the Wang family won’t come.”

The Wang family is even willing to give Su Chunjun their own daughter as a maid to draw him in, where would they come to the door to inquire about the disappearance of a daughter?

This was indeed the case. The Wang family didn’t even look for them, and didn’t seem to publicize that they had lost a daughter at all. During the period Wang Wanchuan also once sent gifts to the Zhu family building want to see Su Chunjun, also did not mention Wang Zhi’e. It seems that this daughter does not exist. As if this daughter had never existed at all.

After helping Wang Zhi’e, the study class officially split into two parts. One part was more interested in spending their energy and time on publicity rather than indeed helping anyone.

“Tell people what we think, what we stand for, so that we can call on more people.”

The other part, however, is willing to help a few more Wang Zhi’e.

“Even if it’s just one person, I’d prefer to see that I actually saved someone rather than being self-absorbed.”

Everyone thought Yang Yuyan would go to the first division, but she stayed in the second division.

The people from the first division even came to advise her, hoping that she would be able to exert her talents in a place where they could be utilized more.

Yang Yuyan herself was fine with it, but everyone in her family advised her to go to the second branch, and she asked Yang Yucan which one she would go to.

Yang Yuchan: “I’ll go to the second branch.”

Yang Yuyan: “Then I’ll go too.”

Yang Yuchan gave Shi Wuwei a victory gesture.

She said to Shi Wuwei, “I knew that Yan Yan would listen to me.”

Shi Wuwei nodded, “You’re right, she’ll definitely listen to you.”

Su Chunjun was relieved to hear that she had decided to go to the second branch.

The second branch was dominated by female students, and they had already decided on a program of action to help women.

He asked Yang Yuyan, “Do you have any goals now?”

They were all female students, so they shouldn’t be doing anything dangerous.

Yang Yuyan: “Yes, we’re going to help prostitutes to become good.”

Su Chunjun: “……”
