After comforting the female student, the teacher looked at Gu Sang and asked, "Student Gu, is there something wrong?"
"Teacher, when you suggested I transfer, you said it was easier to take leave for film and television majors. Can I take leave now?"
"I just received an invitation to a TV series, and I need to go to participate in military exercises and training. As for how long the invitation will last, it depends on the time."
A hint of shock flashed in the eyes of the teacher from the Academic Affairs Office.
Isn’t it said that it’s difficult to get roles in TV dramas?
It's only been a few days, and this student has already received another production? And it requires rehearsals and training, so it's obviously a production with a significant investment!
"Okay, fill out this leave application first."
Gu Sang took the leave application but hadn't started writing yet.
Just then.
A rural couple in simple clothes rushed in from outside. Their hands and feet were rough, obviously they often did farm work.
The man was about fifty years old, and his face showed the suffering he had endured at the hands of life.
As soon as he walked in, he impatiently yelled at the crying girl: "Why are you taking so long?! It's been a while, and you haven't even finished the withdrawal procedures."
"Are you done? If you're any later you'll miss the train."
After hearing this, Gu Sang put down the pen in his hand.
He frowned and looked at the rural couple and the girl.
The ancient people in the live broadcast room also stopped expressing their feelings and discussions about the modern times and stared at the screen.
The girl sat on the sofa, twisting her school uniform with her hands. Her red eyes showed her resistance and struggle to drop out of school.
“Mom and Dad…”
The girl lowered her head tightly, mustered up her courage and said tremblingly, "I...I want to study. I don't want to drop out of school, and I don't want to get married so early."
"I will never marry someone from another place. I will be a good boy. When I start working and earning money, I will help my brother and younger brother to get the down payment."
"Dad, I don't want to marry that man..."
However!
The girl made up her mind to speak out her true feelings.
The man didn't show any emotion. Anger showed on his face. He took a step towards the girl, raised his calloused hand and slapped her!
Snap——
When the slap landed, the whole place fell silent.
The concubines who were watching the live broadcast were all heartbroken. They looked at the female student whose face was half red and swollen, and the light in their eyes dimmed.
"You're just a money-loser! What the hell are you studying for? You've ruined your brain with all that schooling, haven't you?"
The rural man grabbed the girl's wrist and cursed.
He dragged her down from the sofa forcefully: "What's the point of a woman reading so many books? She still has to get married in the end, and it will only benefit the man's family."
"Don't think you can fly high just because you attended a crappy university. I'm your father, and I can't control you!"
"In the countryside, people your age already have two children. I've already negotiated the bride price. You must come back with me today! Otherwise, you'll study too much and become wild-minded, and then you'll be desperate to marry someone from another place."
“.......”
Nowadays, many poor rural parents are afraid that their children will be out of their control, so they marry their girls off early.
They think.
Girls, you all have to get married in the end, and finding a man with good conditions is the real victory.
After all, many college graduates only make a few thousand yuan a month. It’s better for them to marry a man and have children early. The final outcome will be the same!
Compared to Gu Sang, the teacher's expressions changed slightly.
However, the common people and court officials who were watching the live broadcast could not agree more.
Everyone smiled and agreed, "That's right! I've been watching the live broadcast for so many days, and it finally showed its flaws."
"My Lady, this is the correct rule in your world, right?"
"The old farmer is right. It's useless for women to read so many books except to become heretics. In my opinion, women should just read the Women's Rules."
"That's right, don't women have to serve their husbands in the end? You should learn more about the Three Obediences and Four Virtues!"
"This is the downside of supporting women's education. Look at that girl, she even dared to rebel against her father. Our country's long-standing filial piety has been lost just like that!"
This scene seemed to have been discovered by those high-ranking ministers.
They began to accuse and scold the girl for being unfilial.
They started out gloating and mocking about gender equality, but in the end it was still the same rules as in ancient times!
Look.
This is the most real reaction!
What Gu Sang created before was all a fake!
Compared with the support of the ministers and the people, the Xuyang Palace on the other side was gloomy and worried, as if the light that had finally shone into their lives had suddenly been withdrawn.
At this moment, the concubines and palace maids seemed to think of their own fate.
Is it... that we can never fight against patriarchy?
"Could it be that in the world two thousand years from now, women will also be discriminated against and suppressed for studying?"
"Haha, all parents in the world are the same. Even parents two thousand years from now are still so pedantic, believing that women are inferior to men."
"If the purpose of studying is to get married and serve a husband, then studying... maybe it really won't change anything."
All the concubines curled their lips bitterly and lowered their eyes.
At this moment, the girl was forcibly dragged out of the office door by her father.
She shook his hand off with all her might, looking frightened and not knowing what to do, tears streaming down her face.
The teacher had only heard the girl say that she wanted to drop out of school, so he patiently advised her not to give up and to tell her parents if she had any difficulties. He didn't expect the result!
Do the difficulties come from parents?
