Chapter 119: How can I find a place to live without a man?
Hearing this, Wang Chunmei pursed her lips and smiled, "This is all thanks to Ranran. I have studied with her for a while, and I have some knowledge in my head. Should I pretend to be good and show off to everyone?"
As soon as this joke was made, the military wives present burst into laughter.
"In my opinion, you are more than just a little bit stained with ink, it's like you have been reborn, Ranran, did you give her some magic medicine?"
Zhong Juhua also joked along.
However, Wang Chunmei has indeed changed a lot. Not only has her skin become whiter, but she also has an indescribable temperament, which makes her appearance, which was only 6 points, improve to 8 points.
Now, she stands out in the family compound.
"I don't have any magic formula. It's all because of Chunmei's hard work. She's either studying or on her way to study every day."
Wang Chunmei was a smart girl and learned pinyin in a short time. Su Ranran gave her a Xinhua Dictionary, and she became completely obsessed with learning it.
Upon hearing this, the military wives also remembered that Wang Chunmei had not been with them for a long time.
The last time they saw her was when she was asking everyone how to catch the sea.
The rest of the time she came and went in a hurry, and they hardly saw her.
I originally thought that she had become her timid self again, but I didn't expect that she was actually studying secretly.
"Chunmei, you are so amazing. If it were me, I would definitely fall asleep as soon as I got the book."
Zhong Juhua said admiringly.
Although I envy Wang Chunmei's improved temperament, not everyone is cut out for study.
She even felt that studying was more tiring than farming.
Although she doesn't like studying, she still admires others who are willing to study and learn.
The others were similar, all of them were envious and admiring.
"If you want to learn, I don't mind taking a few more students. With more people, we can open a class."
Su Ranran joked.
Upon hearing this, the faces of several military wives changed and they shook their heads and waved their hands.
"No, my dad beat me with a stick and I didn't go to school."
"Let me study, I would rather plant several fields."
…
I don’t know if they were afraid that Su Ranran would catch them studying or they didn’t want to disturb Wang Chunmei, but after talking to each other for a few minutes, they said goodbye and left.
Su Ranran and Wang Chunmei were the only ones left in the yard.
Because she had the Xinhua Dictionary, Wang Chunmei was able to learn on her own most of the time, and would only come to ask Su Ranran for help when she occasionally did not understand something.
"What problems did you encounter today?"
Su Ranran led people to the living room familiarly.
"I have a question I want to ask you."
After the other military wives left, Wang Chunmei's face also showed a hint of worry.
Seeing that she didn't look like she was stumped by the book, Su Ranran felt a little strange.
"What's the problem?"
Since discovering that she might be a person from ancient times, Su Ranran has confirmed her guesses one by one in their daily interactions.
She was happy to help a female comrade who came from a feudal society but was willing to strive for self-improvement.
Wang Chunmei smiled bitterly.
Since she started studying with Su Ranran, she has devoted all her energy to studying.
Not only did he learn it himself, he also taught Zhang Xiaohua.
The mother and daughter worked and studied every day, and Zhang Xinrong, the head of the family, was completely ignored.
Wang Chunmei knew that he was waiting for her to admit her mistake, so she had a gloomy face every day.
But she didn't want to bow to him. If she did, it would mean that some sacrifices would be inevitable.
Zhang Xinrong was probably so angry that he stopped giving her any household allowance.
Wang Chunmei now has only two yuan left in her hand.
But she didn't want to beg him, and her self-esteem wouldn't allow her to do so.
However, Wang Chunmei was not completely unprepared. Since the day she rejected Zhang Xinrong, she took Zhang Xiaohua to go fishing and farm every day.
There was no sea in the original owner's hometown, and Wang Chunmei herself was a lady from a wealthy family who never left her house. How could she know how to chase the sea?
In the end, it was other military wives who taught her, and she asked Su Ranran for advice on farming.
Sweet potatoes are planted at the South Island base, and water spinach is planted at home.
She only eats a small portion of the seafood she catches every day, and hides the rest in the sun. Now she can’t finish all the water spinach in one meal.
Wang Chunmei planned that if Zhang Xinrong didn't give her any more household expenses, she would stop cooking for him.
Anyway, the mother and daughter can get by by eating some seafood and vegetables. Once the sweet potatoes grow, life will be better.
But if it really comes to that, their relationship will inevitably deteriorate further.
"I was thinking, how can a woman find a place to live after leaving a man?"
During these ten days, she studied very hard and finally learned a lot of words and also learned how to read.
She will never forget the shock she felt the first time Su Ranran explained the world map to her.
It turns out that the world is so big, and she was trapped in a small yard all her life until her death.
Hearing this, Su Ranran was a little surprised but also felt it was reasonable.
At that time, the dispute between Zhang Xinrong and Wang Chunmei was known to everyone in the family compound.
It was no secret that Zhang Xinrong was not kind to the mother and daughter.
She originally thought that Wang Chunmei studied so hard partly in order to improve her relationship with Zhang Xinrong.
I didn't expect that they have already started to think about the issue of independent survival.
Looking at the determined woman in front of her, Su Ranran felt a little more admiration in her heart.
"It's not that hard to settle down and make a living, but it's not that easy either."
Although it is already a new era, the President still says that women hold up half the sky.
But the reality is that women still have to suffer a lot of prejudice and contempt in their society.
The reason why he was able to implement his ideas so quickly was actually due to Shen He's identity.
If she were alone, it would never have been so smooth.
"To survive independently, you must first have a job. But jobs are so scarce these days that it's not easy to find one."
Upon hearing this, Wang Chunmei's eyes dimmed.
But she didn't give up. "How can I find a job?"
"There is a machinery factory in the county, but the educational requirements are a bit high, and you have to take an exam to get in."
Only factories with high requirements like this have any chance; other places have already been filled up.
Logically speaking, an illiterate person like Wang Chunmei would not even be qualified to take the exam.
But she is a military wife, and if her education level is high enough, it will not be difficult for her to qualify for the exam.
After all, not all workers in a machinery factory are skilled workers; there are other types of workers as well.
When she heard that there was not no way out, Wang Chunmei's originally gloomy eyes suddenly brightened.
"So what should I learn?"
Su Ranran didn't want to discourage her enthusiasm, but she still said seriously: "In addition to learning Chinese, you also have to learn math, physics and chemistry."
