After Yan Yuying left, Ren Xiuzhen and Tao Siqi did not go out for a stroll. Ren Xiuzhen had to clean the room and put things in place, and Tao Siqi came to help her like a hardworking little bee.
Ren Xiuzhen was a little uncomfortable with such enthusiastic people. In her previous world, everyone stayed still if possible, and no one liked to work.
Tao Siqi was very sensible. He helped sweep the floor and wipe the dust. After he was done, he went to the public study to read, leaving her complete personal space to pack her things.
Ren Xiuzhen made the bedding, took out the daily necessities and arranged them, then sat on the edge of the bed and started thinking again.
What she saw today had a huge impact on her.
She went to the countryside on the third day after coming to this world. She knew very little about this world. The original owner was a person who worked hard and lived a low-key life. She didn't pay much attention to current affairs or social changes. She only focused on the palm-sized area in front of her.
Her understanding of this world was based on the original owner's memories and some information she learned in her previous life. Now it seemed a bit biased. She still needed to read the newspaper and interact with people before she could make a correct judgment.
She'd originally thought of going to the countryside first to get away from her family, then seeing what opportunities presented themselves. She'd traveled through time, so who knew what opportunities might arise? It was like those period novels she'd read: "The Pampered Young Educated Youth," "Traveling Through Time, Marrying the Strongest and Most Rough Man in the Village," and "The Military Compound, the Doting Soldier's Domineering Love."
Maybe in the countryside, there will be a rough man, a soldier, or a cold-blooded educated youth waiting for her.
Although marriage has risks, once a man becomes successful, he may abandon the woman who has accompanied him through the lows, or even simply be fickle. However, she is not love-brained, nor is she the kind of woman who cannot live without a man. She will not let herself be bogged down in marriage and love. She will soberly enjoy the benefits brought by the man and keep the money in her own hands. Even if the man changes his mind, she can divorce him and become a single rich woman with a lot of money, which is also good.
As long as she doesn't get tempted, it's fine. Men are just tools for her to live a good life.
She has read many period novels, and this is the heroine character she has summarized as the most popular among readers: clear-headed, unwilling to suffer, sophisticated and selfish, and focused on living a good life. Even if she is selfish and has bad intentions, it's okay. People still like to read about villains.
Even relying on men is okay. People scold the spoiled wives, but they don’t scold the heroines who rely on men to live a good life.
She used to be confused about this and didn't understand what the difference between the two was. Later, she surfed the Internet for a long time and studied this issue specifically. She roughly figured it out. Simply put, the difference between the two is that one is selfish, putting herself first, and the most important thing is to live a happy life; the other is a man-sucking person, putting men first, putting herself in a real subordinate position, and losing herself.
In reality, the former will also act like a "man-fawning" woman, but this is not sincere and is just a performance for men to see. Otherwise, men will most likely not let her get close to them.
However, in novels, such a clear-headed heroine is usually paired with a love-brained hero, who loves her super much no matter what.
Ren Xiuzhen had read many novels like this. She knew she shouldn't think this way, but she also had a faint hope in her heart. Since she had traveled through time, would the time travel master give her a love-sick husband? Would he make her life simpler?
It doesn't matter if she is not matched with someone, as long as she keeps a clear head and doesn't fall.
She must always be vigilant against several red flags: love-brainedness, the demon of worshipping her brother (brother), a heart of a saint, feeling sorry for men, being a slave to society, and female competition...
These are all things she is determined to get rid of!!!
As long as she avoids these points, she will be a sober heroine and a pioneer of the times.
She had good intentions, but she never expected that the people here seemed to be sober and had implemented late marriage so thoroughly.
When the original owner was in the city, everyone around him... No, the people around him didn't get married so early. The original owner's eldest sister was 25 years old and still not married. It's just that the eldest sister was more favored than the original owner, and her job was a formal job, so she was not asked to give it to her younger brother.
The lesbians in Liushutun all marry so late. She is only 21. If she gets married now, wouldn’t it be too outrageous?
She is a woman from later generations, who has received higher education and been influenced by awakening thoughts. She considers herself a person with advanced ideas. Is she not as good as the indigenous lesbians in the 1970s?
The lesbians here didn't get married early and didn't confine themselves at home. Many of them lived out their own style. How could she not compare to them?
How could that be? Even if others didn't know, she couldn't get over it in her heart.
Forget it, let’s wait and see.
If you can't rely on men, you should be able to rely on yourself.
After Ren Xiuzhen finished thinking, she got up and left the house to find Tao Siqi in the study.
"I'm going to the dealership to buy a lock. Will you come with me?"
"Go. It's a good time to go out and take a look."
Tao Siqi closed the book in her hand and put a homemade bookmark in it so that she could continue reading next time. Then she turned around and put the book back on the bookshelf.
Ren Xiuzhen said, "This bookshelf is pretty good."
"This is the practice work of Xu Liumei, the one Sister Yuying mentioned. There's a description on the side of the bookshelf: 'In December 1972, Xu Liumei completed her first bookshelf. Xu Liumei's first carpentry work.' It's quite interesting. I'll ask Liumei if she has anything else she hasn't done yet, and then I'll add a 'first work' to her list."
