Chapter 431 Future Sister-in-Law 1 I have her photo, please send it to your third brother...

Gossip is a wildfire that grows wherever there is wind.

Even if the parties involved remain tight-lipped and refuse to say anything, there will always be people they know who will leak the information.

Unfortunately, there happened to be someone in the class who had a bad relationship with Lu Yihong, and he also happened to have a way to know about Lu Yihong's family affairs.

So after class, when the classmates gathered around the on-again-off-again couple and couldn't ask anything, Ji Dongqi, who was sitting by the window in the last row of the classroom, spoke up.

"What's so strange about this? Just think about it. If a college student around you suddenly dropped out and went home, would you ask why? And think about it, if anyone knew what Zhou Xiaoxiao was doing at school, what kind of man would she marry? With all the rumors, would the Zhou family really let it go?"

The students looked at each other in bewilderment. That was definitely not possible. They had to ask the Lu family for an explanation, right?

As for the Lu family, since they have relatives who are soldiers, they must be doing well themselves, so the matter will be easy - for the sake of the Lu family's reputation, they must either make compensation or take responsibility for the girl.

As for how the Zhou family negotiated with the Lu family on this matter, it no longer matters.

The important thing is, are Zhou Xiaoxiao and Lu Yihong really going to be locked together for life?

That's quite interesting. Just like a dog will always eat shit, Lu Yihong, who has his cake and eats it too, will sooner or later get into big trouble. Even if Zhou Xiaoxiao is willing to go back to him, there's no hope for her.

The students gossiped and walked to the classroom for the next class.

During this time, Zhu Mingmei and Yao Zhizhi whispered a few words, both of them felt sorry for Zhou Xiaoxiao and were angry at her for not fighting back.

But there is no way. New China has only been established for a few decades, and the education of just a few decades cannot compete with the residual power of thousands of years of feudal brainwashing. In the minds of many elders and young people, being faithful to one man is the best ending for a woman - even if the man is the perpetrator who raped the woman, even if the man is the unfaithful man who betrayed the woman and caused her to have a miscarriage.

It’s as if a woman has been labeled “unopened” from the moment she is born. The upbringing of her parents, the teaching of the school, and the cultivation of society are just to help add a more perfect and attractive packaging to this product. The ultimate goal is to sell her body, her womb, and even her soul.

In short, women are a commodity, a commodity shaped by thousands of years of feudal culture, which does not allow for the existence of subjective consciousness or independent personality.

Therefore, once this product is opened, touched or bumped by someone, it depreciates in value and can only be sold at a lower price as quickly as possible - sold to the culprit who first opened it. Even if the other party does not want to buy this product at all, it is better than becoming a slow-selling product, left in a corner gathering dust, or even being forgotten.

This is an extremely sad and ironic reality.

While coveting women's reproductive value, they put all kinds of harsh shackles on women, just to make them behave like obedient commodities waiting to be bought, commodities that dare not walk out on their own even if the window is opened.

And such products will exist even in the end times.

Yao Zhizhi still remembers that when she first fought her way out, she briefly traveled with a group of survivors.

The captain of that team was a scumbag who was promiscuous, and around him were four or five women who were devoted to him.

It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the "local tyrant of the last days".

Yao Zhizhi couldn't stand the environment where several girls were competing for the favor of a man, so she tried hard to show her strength, hoping to impress them and persuade them to go with her. After all, the world is so big out there, and there's really no need to tie herself to the belt of a scumbag.

Unfortunately, in the end she only succeeded in taking one woman away. Less than half a month after leaving the man, the woman began to have morning sickness. In the end, she left Yao Zhizhi's team and went to find the man without looking back.

It was from that time that Yao Zhizhi felt endless sadness and anger in her heart - since she couldn't save him, then she wouldn't save him, let's just love him to death.

Fortunately, God is not so cruel, because soon, Yao Zhizhi met a woman who dared to kill her husband - a woman who had also suffered betrayal, but had to endure humiliation in an orderly social environment, restricted by the legal and social evaluation system, and restricted by the political review background of protecting her children.

When the end of the world comes, when all laws and order are broken, when the new order is based only on the law of the jungle, the woman raises her axe and chops off the scumbag's head.

Yao Zhizhi was chasing a small zombie leader that day. When she rushed through the narrow alleys that twisted and turned, when she killed one bloody zombie after another, when she came to the dead end where the small leader was at the end of his road, waiting there was not only the small zombie leader, but also a woman holding an axe who had just chopped off a man's head, and her daughter whose eyes she had blindfolded with knotted socks.

Unfortunately, the woman was not strong enough and the axe got stuck in the man's cervical vertebrae and could not be pulled out.

Seeing that the zombie leader was about to rush over and eat the mother and daughter, Yao Zhizhi took action.

Blood splattered three feet!

Afterwards, she dissected out the crystal core of the zombie leader, sat on the pile of bricks left by the collapsed wall next to her, and listened to a story about a person who would develop breast hyperplasia but would also quickly relieve the liver and anger, and make the breast ducts unobstructed.

In the end, she left the crystal core to the mother and daughter.

She also invited the mother and daughter to go with her, but they still had to go to the far north to find the child's grandmother, the mother's mother.

Yao Zhizhi then gave them some more supplies and said goodbye.

So you see, even in the ruins of doomsday, flowers of freedom can bloom and greet the dawn of hope.

At this moment, facing Zhu Mingmei's emotion, Yao Zhizhi could only smile and comfort her: "Don't worry, some stubborn people are like this. They won't turn back until they have completely lost their way. Just wait and see. Who can predict what will happen in the future?"

Maybe in the future Zhou Xiaoxiao will be the cowardly girl who ran back home while pregnant. Maybe in the future Zhou Xiaoxiao will be the brave girl who has the courage to raise an axe and chop off the scumbag’s head.

The road to enlightenment is never achieved overnight. The remnants of thousands of years of feudalism must take hundreds of years to slowly eliminate, right?

During this period, one will inevitably experience pain, fluctuations, and repetitions.

But it doesn’t matter. As long as the oppressed women have glimpsed the light of freedom, they will never be willing to return to the era of bondage, and they will not let down the present and future that the martyrs fought for them.

Even if there are still some diehards and retro-styled people, it doesn’t matter. As long as there is a woman alive, as long as the fire of freedom burns in this woman’s heart, progress will not stop.

Time flies and it’s the end of the year.

Yao Zhizhi has done almost nothing remarkable this semester.

Every day I go to class and go home after class. Occasionally I visit the crew to see how her movie is going. Sometimes I also receive sample books from the publishing house, which require me to sign hundreds or thousands of names.

This is not surprising.

The strange thing is that this semester, Lu Yihong has been surprisingly honest and decent, and there has been no bloody love triangle news with Zhou Xiaoxiao. It seems that this man has really turned over a new leaf.

But how is this possible? If a dog can change its habit of eating feces, then a sow can probably climb a tree.

Yao Zhizhi watched his back as he ran out of the school dragging his luggage, guessing that this bastard must be in trouble again, but this time, he learned to fight in a different place - wouldn't it be better if the two women didn't meet?

Look at this kind of man, he is so cunning and smart.

Unfortunately, Yao Zhizhi didn't have time to gossip, and she knew that gossiping would only make things thankless, so she didn't know what to do.

Before the holiday, she visited the crew again and found that the filming was nearing its end and was expected to be finished by the first month of next year. However, the post-production editing, dubbing, and music still needed to be dealt with, and it would take until the end of next year before the film was released.

Yao Zhizhi is not in a hurry, good things are worth waiting for.

She passed by the famous screenwriter and saw a script thrown in the trash can. She asked the screenwriter's assistant and learned that it was a plot that was abandoned after the crew temporarily replaced it. It was of no use, so she took it away.

The feeling of stealing someone's skills is so wonderful. Yao Zhizhi read the hundreds of pages of the script again and again, and she finally gained something. But she just doesn't know what kind of changes the crew made to the plot.

Forget it. She doesn't have any say in the crew for now. Let's wait and see. Anyway, no one stipulates that a novel can only be sold to one crew. At worst, she can reshoot it later when she has more power.

The day we returned to Yicheng, it was snowing heavily.

Living in a small Western-style building in such weather is a bit of a torture. Not only is the river wind biting, but it is also very humid.

The damp cold was like little frozen thorns, drilling straight into people's bones.

So this time when I came back, there was no suspense at all - I lived in the hutong.

The small courtyard beside the Jade Lake was soon covered in silver. Yao Zhizhi got up early in the morning, breathed in the hot white mist, and drank a bowl of hot millet porridge. This day was as happy as that of a god.

Just when I was having fun, the phone rang.

It was Zhu Mingmei who called. She kept the conversation a secret: "Xiao Yao, I have good news for you. Guess what it is?"

"Are you completely cured?"

"Ah, it's indeed healed, but that's not important. It's another piece of good news. Guess what?"

"Have you and Cheng Che made a fortune?"

"Haha, I thought so. No, guess again."

"I can't guess, Lao Zhu, tell me quickly."

"Didn't you ask me to help you find any young women of marriageable age when school started?"

"Oh, look at me. I was so busy with the exam that I almost forgot about it. How's it going? Any progress?"

"I sent you a registered letter with her photo inside. Please send it to your third brother to see if he likes her. If he does, please tell him about her family background."

"Good old Zhu, you're keeping me in suspense. Tell me quickly, what does the other person do? What's his name? Where is his home?"

"Oh, don't worry, wait until you see the photos. It should arrive in the next two days. Call me back then."

"Hello, wait a minute, hello!" Before Yao Zhizhi could ask clearly, Zhu Mingmei had already hung up the phone.

Yao Zhizhi was so angry that she immediately cursed her, saying, "You gained three pounds in one winter vacation! The more the better!"
