As a member of the working class, Lin Jingyu, a cargo registrar at a port, transmigrated to the early 1970s during her lunch break.
She unexpectedly discovered that she had entered a chronicl...
The next day.
Several women had already moved their betrothal gifts and dowry back to their parents' home.
This action shocked their family.
When these parents heard Lin Jingyu's words, they were all stunned.
They never dreamed that the other person's personal behavior would affect their precious daughter.
then……
Lin Jingyu's "shocking words" quickly spread.
Everyone was stunned by these words.
That makes some sense.
Especially for people who have both sons and daughters.
Whether you're speaking from the perspective of a mother-in-law or a mother-in-law.
They all felt that Lin Jingyu's words made no mistake.
Of course, there were some things they were dissatisfied with, but they didn't dare to stand up and refute them.
Many daughters felt ashamed and, even if they couldn't openly bring betrothal gifts back to their parents' home, they would still secretly give their parents a sum of money for their old age.
The same goes for Wen Yunwei.
"Jingyu, you really dare to say anything."
Looking at her sister-in-law, Wen Yunwei shook her head helplessly, "Aren't you afraid people will scold you?"
Lin Jingyu looked completely innocent. "What did you say to me?"
"What do you mean by 'freeloading from one's in-laws'..."
Wen Yunwei was a little embarrassed to continue.
"Big sister, are you angry when you hear that?"
Lin Jingyu asked instead of answering, "When I said that that day, none of them were angry."
I'm not angry.
Wen Yunwei paused for a moment, then replied somewhat helplessly, "It makes people feel ashamed and embarrassed, but we have to admit that what you said, though harsh, is true."
"Since no one is angry, why can't I say it?"
Lin Jingyu smiled and said, "Besides, when they brought up the topic of betrothal gifts and dowry, I was just telling the truth."
As for what other people think, I really don't care.
Whether people agree or disagree, it doesn't matter.
I was simply following my own opinion.
"Perhaps it is this different way of thinking that makes you capable of becoming an economic leader."
"You flatter me, elder sister. I'm hardly a leader."
"You are too modest."
...
That night.
Guo Ruozhi took out a check and said with a wry smile, "This is what Wei'er brought back today. She said it's for our retirement money."
"One million?"
Wen Jianguo glanced at it and chuckled, "Looks like this girl got her betrothal money back."
"Once Jingyu's words get out, even if a married daughter doesn't want to care, she won't be able to ignore them."
Guo Ruozhi found it somewhat amusing. "To be honest, I've never thought about this before. After all, it's a tacit rule that betrothal gifts and dowries are given to daughters as part of their dowry."
Who would have thought this girl's thoughts were different from everyone else's, revealing such an embarrassing and shameful 'truth'?
"She was never an ordinary woman."
Wen Jianguo responded, "Her abilities and talents are comparable to those of men. If she had the same mindset as other women, she wouldn't have achieved what she has."
"That's true."
Guo Ruozhi nodded upon hearing this, "I hope her words won't attract any gossip."
"Aren't there enough rumors about her already? Do you think she would care about that?"
"This matter is neither a big deal nor a small deal; who knows what kind of consequences it will cause?"
"Whatever the consequences, can't we solve them?"
...
An office!
"This girl is really..."
When Mr. Jun heard these words, he was both amused and exasperated.
He looked at Grandpa Qingfeng and said, "Your junior sister, aren't you afraid of causing a stir?"
Although her views are somewhat novel, they do have some merit.
After this, her reputation soared even higher.
"This pressure is nothing."
Grandpa Qingfeng didn't take the matter to heart. "If someone really dares to stir up trouble, she definitely has the ability to suppress it."
"Everyone's mindset has changed somewhat, so perhaps everyone will be able to accept it more readily."
The old man remained calm, saying, "As for some stubborn people, they can't stir up any trouble."
As time goes by, this matter will calm down.
By the way, how is that girl doing?
How are she and the baby in her belly?
The situation in Russia is getting worse; I'm afraid this kid will have to make another trip.
"Go if you should."
Grandpa Qingfeng frowned slightly, "With a few of us keeping an eye on Jingyu, nothing will happen to her. Young people should contribute to our country."
"Yes, our country can only rely on these young people."
Old Jun sighed, "I really hope time will pass quickly. Our country started too late. I hope they can all catch up with the changes of the times."
...
The minor commotion caused by Lin Jingyu's words quickly subsided.
It should be said that it didn't cause much of a stir, since the main character in this incident was the woman.
Women in this era are quite good at managing their husbands.
Even if a man has a problem, his wife will suppress it. Some people just laugh it off and don't take it to heart at all.
Many people thought it would cause some trouble, but in the end, not a ripple appeared at all.
During these peaceful days, Lin Jingyu's belly grew bigger and bigger over time.
Before I knew it, I was about eight months pregnant.
It was already the end of the year.
When her mother-in-law, Guo Ruozhi, and her own mother, Zhang Yuxuan, saw her enormous belly, they were both quite alarmed and unsure whether they should take her to the hospital.
"Jingyu doesn't feel uncomfortable, so it's more convenient for her to stay at home for now."
