Born as a space beast, Shi Chu possessed a strong sense of self-preservation and was inherently selfish. She revelled in luxury, indulging in fine food and clothing. She rejected phrases like “su...
Chapter 946: The female protagonist of the sad drama (1)
"Shi Chu, you need to control your temper. As women, we should consider men's face when we are outside. How can you beat and scold him in front of everyone? You even poured wine on his head. How can he hold his head up in front of his colleagues in the future?" A gentle female voice persuaded him in a soft and gentle voice.
When Shi Chu turned around, she saw a gentle-looking young woman holding her arm, frowning and speaking to her with a look of disapproval.
"When you go back, apologize to Changfan sincerely. Don't be stubborn. One of the husband and wife must give in. If you don't change your hot temper, Changfan will be even less willing to go home in the future... Don't be unhappy. I'm doing this for your own good. Otherwise, you and your wife will quarrel every now and then, and it will hurt your relationship..." The young woman continued to persuade him earnestly.
"He doesn't go home to help with housework and take care of the children after work, but runs out to drink with others. Does he think he's right? He still wants me to give in and admit my mistake to him? Ning Guoyun, is there something wrong with your brain?" Shi Chu spoke smoothly and said it without thinking at all.
Ning Guoyun opened her eyes wide in shock when she heard her words: "Shichu, doing housework and taking care of children are our women's jobs, how can we trouble men?"
"Get out of here! The more I hear you talk, the angrier I get." Shi Chu shook off Ning Guoyun's hand, snorted, and walked back home without looking back.
While on the road, Shi Chu received the original owner's memories.
The original owner was Qiao Shichu and her husband Yu Changfan, who were employees of Fucai Flour Mill. They had been married for three years and gave birth to a son two years ago. The couple was in a free love relationship and had a good relationship, but Yu Changfan loved to play and had made many friends, so he was often away from home. The children and housework were left to the original owner alone. Over time, the original owner became irritable and often pulled her husband back from drinking to work.
Ning Guoyun and the original owner were also employees of the flour mill. They had been married for three years, but she gave birth to a daughter at the beginning. Her in-laws and husband favored boys over girls, so she avoided the family planning officials, secretly returned to her hometown in the countryside, and secretly gave birth to another daughter. She even lost her job at the flour mill because of this. She originally wanted to have more children, but the street family planning officials had been evaded by her once, so naturally they would not give her another chance, so they forced her to go to the hospital for a sterilization operation.
Ning Guoyun felt very guilty for giving birth to two money-losing children, which had cut off her husband's family line. So she became more and more humble in her husband's family and worked hard for her husband without complaint, just to let outsiders see that although she could not give birth to a son for her man, she was indeed a virtuous and capable daughter-in-law.
If she did this just by herself, no one would be able to control her, but not only did she do this herself, she also persuaded other women around her to be gentle, virtuous, hardworking and "be a good woman behind a man."
The original owner was unlucky enough to become her neighbor, and was often "educated" and "persuaded" by her. The original owner had a hot temper. Because she was spoiled at her mother's house, she would not bear any grievances. If her husband offended her, she would never tolerate it and would scold him. If her husband wanted to be lazy and go out to have fun? That was not allowed. She would drag him back to share the housework...
Ning Guoyun was therefore very disgusted with the original owner's behavior and felt that she was not virtuous at all. Not only was she not gentle and obedient to her husband, she even cursed and fought with him. It was simply outrageous and unbelievable.
The original owner didn't care about her theories about virtuous women, such as the three obediences and four virtues and respecting the husband as the heaven? Impossible!
As the heroine of the tragic drama, Ning Guoyun's life hardships were certainly not limited to not giving birth to a son. Because of having more children than allowed, she and her husband Xue Yanzong were both fired from the flour mill. In order to make a living, Xue Yanzong had to learn how to do business. Unexpectedly, he had a talent for business and soon became very successful and made a lot of money.
However, it is inevitable that men will become bad when they have money, so Xue Yanzong began to hang around with other women outside. After Ning Guoyun found out, she cried all day long and was in great pain. She also went to the original owner to complain. The original owner advised her to either beat Xue Yanzong up and warn him to break up with the women outside; or just divorce and divide the money and leave with her two daughters.
But Ning Guoyun didn't choose either of the two options, and even defended Xue Yanzong, saying that it was understandable that he had a woman outside, because she didn't give birth to a son for him, causing his family to be cut off? He also went to other women to relieve his depression, and there was also a business scene in it, which was not taken seriously. He was just playing with the women outside. Only Ning Guoyun herself was Xue Yanzong's legitimate wife, and the original wife who could be buried with him a hundred years later...
When the original owner saw her like this, he asked her what she wanted.
Ning Guoyun said that he wanted to ask the original owner and Yu Changfan to persuade Xue Yanzong to calm down and return to his family...
The original owner just thought she was unreasonable, rolled her eyes and ignored her.
Yu Changfan did try to persuade Xue Yanzong, but Xue Yanzong was full of energy and had made a lot of money from his business, so how could he listen to his advice? So instead of returning to his family, he became even worse, and even had an illegitimate child with a dancer.
The original owner thought Ning Guoyun would give up and divorce, right? However, she didn't. Ning Guoyun didn't hate or reject this illegitimate child. Instead, she was overjoyed and asked Xue Yanzong to take the child home and let her raise him. She said that it was a great sin for her to not give birth to a son for the Xue family. Now that her husband finally had a son, how could she not want him? So she wanted to atone for her sins, personally raise and teach him, and let the Xue family's incense grow strong and strong...
So she really treated the illegitimate son as her own, and her two biological daughters were ranked behind him. Seeing that she was so reasonable, tolerant and generous, Xue Yanzong rarely had a good face towards her, and Ning Guoyun felt more and more that she had done the right thing.
But the good times did not last long. Xue Yanzong's business offended a very powerful man, and he went bankrupt and owed huge debts. Xue Yanzong did not want to take responsibility, so he abandoned his wife and children and ran away, and no news was ever heard from again.
Ning Guoyun was shocked when she heard the news, but after the pain, she wiped away her tears and decided to take responsibility for her husband. She worked three or four jobs outside, no matter how hard or tiring the work was, just to earn money to support her family and repay her debts.
As for the illegitimate son, she did not vent her anger on him or give up on him, but continued to raise him. She said that her husband would come back one day, and she could not abandon his son when he was away. She had to support the family for him, and then when he came back, she could proudly say: I have not let you down.
