The Zhang family went from being a group of women and children, whom everyone could bully, to a powerful family that everyone admired.
Through her own efforts, she was admitted to Rende Academy and graduated in a short period of time, becoming a temporary teacher at the academy.
The reason she wasn't formally employed was because Zhenniangzi said that she would be allowed to run a girls' school in the future to help women in impoverished mountainous areas escape their current situation and leave the mountains.
Zhang Congrong was very interested in the grand promise Zhen Wanwan made, and had even begun to plan for a future girls' school, ready to be implemented once the world was settled.
The more Zhang Congrong thought about it, the more she regretted it. Why couldn't she have been so foolish as to get married?
How can she still wholeheartedly serve Sister Wanwan after getting married?
There are so many girls waiting for her to save them!
Suddenly, Zhang Congrong's pre-wedding anxiety disappeared, and she wanted to go to Yu Xin to cancel the engagement and not get married.
Meanwhile, Yu Xin was completely unaware that his newlywed wife wanted to call off the wedding before it even took place!
He grinned every day as he prepared for his wedding, and more than once, his own sister, Yu Lingling, mistook him for someone who had gone mad.
These words even reached the ears of every resident of Guangling County. As a result, the old lady of the Zhang family and Madam Wang went to the Yu family's door with the betrothal letter in hand, intending to break off the engagement.
Yu Xin then realized that his younger sister had spread rumors about him and almost lost his wife, which angered him so much that he cut off his sister's financial support.
Yu Lingling caused a scene at home for a month because she didn't have the money to raise a puppy or spend money on her idol.
In the end, it was Zhang Congrong who mediated, and the two siblings reconciled. From then on, Yu Lingling was extremely satisfied with her future sister-in-law.
After countless conflicts with her second brother, she would always come to Zhang Congrong to complain, and even her own mother had to back down!
Who can blame them when the second brother is now in charge of the Yu family, and he listens to his wife the most?
If she wants to continue her foolish ways, she'll have to please her second sister-in-law. As for her parents, they have no say in her life!
Zhang Congrong, who appeared gentle and quiet, actually loved Yu Lingling the most, who was lively and unrestrained.
As long as she acts cute, she can have any money she wants, and the little puppy can keep as many sugar daddies as he likes!
Even Yu Lingling, a singer with some fame, had a romantic relationship with him.
When Zhen Wanwan first met Yu Lingling, she felt that this girl was just like the arrogant and domineering villain in the novel.
But after getting to know her, she realized that this girl was short-tempered, obsessed with looks, had a thing for men, and was completely naive.
Ironically, he's the most incompetent person, yet the most daring.
On one occasion, when she attended a banquet, she saw Yu Lingling accompanied by a handsome male concubine. Upon seeing her, Yu Lingling acted ingratiatingly and immediately offered to give the male concubine to her.
After this news got out, Zhu Yuan was so angry that he wanted to throw Yu Lingling out of Anqing Prefecture, but Yu Xin sacrificed most of his wealth to save her.
Zhen Wanwan also mediated between them and assured Zhu Yuan that she would never get involved with other women, which put Zhu Yuan at ease. However, she also forbade Yu Lingling from hanging around in front of her again.
She was afraid that when she went out to fight, Yu Lingling would offer her male concubines again.
Thinking of Yu Lingling, such a lively character, Zhen Wanwan couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Zhang Congrong was unaware and thought Zhen Wanwan was laughing at her pre-wedding anxiety.
"Sister Wanwan, why are you making fun of me too!"
When her mother and sisters found out, they all said that she was overthinking things. After all, Yu Xin was so henpecked that he would treat her words as gospel, so how could he possibly try to stop her as she thought?
"Huh?" Zhen Wanwan didn't react for a moment, but when she saw Zhang Congrong's worried face, she suppressed her smile.
"Rongrong, if you ask me, getting married might be more convenient for you."
"Given the Second Young Master Yu's feelings for you, once you marry into the Yu family, you will be in charge. You will also be less constrained when going out to handle affairs, and you will not be criticized for being unmarried."
"When you join forces with Young Master Yu, it will surely bring glory to the Yu family and make them the richest family in the country. It will only be a matter of time."
Zhang Congrong nodded slightly. That was indeed the case. Although the status of women in Anqing Prefecture had improved, she still had to wear a veil outside of Anqing Prefecture for convenience.
If she gets married, she can go out with her husband without wearing a veil, and she can also learn more about local customs, which will be very helpful for her to establish a women's college in the future.
Furthermore, education requires money, and with the family's wealth, once she takes charge of the household, she can have as much money as she wants!
Furthermore, she genuinely likes Yu Xin; their feelings for each other are undeniable.
After figuring this out, Zhang Congrong's worries subsided, and a smile returned to her face: "Sister Wanwan, I understand!"
Zhen Wanwan nodded. Over the past few years, she had been intentionally or unintentionally influencing Zhang Congrong's views and instilling in her the idea of gender equality.
The reason was to have someone work with her, because she had too few people under her. A-Yue was good at fighting, Da-Ni didn't have much talent in studying but wanted to start a business, and Er-Ni was good at studying but was too young.
After much thought, I realized that there are very few girls who are of suitable age and have independent thinking.
Zhang Congrong was the one she carefully selected. She was not only intelligent and capable, but also resourceful, and the two of them always got along well.
If Zhen Wanwan hadn't known she was a local, she would have really thought the girl was from Sichuan.
That idea resonates with modern independent women.
She doesn't believe that being an independent woman means being unmarried or averse to marriage. In her view, women should dare to love, hate, fight, and take risks.
Don't be afraid to try and make mistakes. As long as you have enough confidence, are financially and mentally independent, what does it matter if you marry the wrong person?
If all else fails, I can just turn around and leave gracefully.
After spending a long time with her, Zhang Congrong thoroughly embraced this motto: if you like someone, date them; if you want to get married, get married; but your career must never stagnate.
She had considered her decision to get married carefully, and for her, the advantages outweighed the disadvantages!
Zhen Wanwan waited until just before dinner before getting up to take her baby and sweet baby home.
Zhang Qinghuai held onto Tianbao's hand reluctantly, refusing to let go. The little rascal looked exasperated; this kid was getting bolder and bolder.
He used to be a gentleman, but now that he sees his younger cousin clinging to Tianbao, he's become clingy too.
With a blank expression, Guai Bao pulled Tian Bao away. He was already troubled about how to stop these lecherous men from coveting his little sister when she got a bit older!
Sweetie didn't think so much. In her eyes, these were all her friends, and Brother Huai was handsome and kind to her!
She doesn't eat anything else, she only eats gentle and considerate people!
Sweetie thought to herself, if she were to grow up and get married, she would definitely choose someone gentle, considerate, and someone who could play with her and pamper her!
In the end, Tianbao managed to appease Zhang Qinghuai and went home with her brother and mother.
Zhen Wanwan felt distressed watching this scene.
Her original plan was to groom Zhou'er to be her future son-in-law, but now...
Zhang Qinghuai, Fang Kang'an, Xiao Yizhi, and the two Xu brothers...
