Chapter 48
Because Huang Liju's boyfriend saw that some boys' girlfriends performed on stage in dramas and were very prestigious among their classmates, so he also wanted her to perform on stage to satisfy his vanity.
That's why Huangli Ju was determined to get on stage at all costs.
Although there are many young female characters in this story, Huang Liju's role is the only aristocratic girl who appears. The others are all girls from the lower class. If she played their roles, she would not have the opportunity to wear beautiful clothes. That is why she chose this role, so that she could have the opportunity to stun everyone and win face for her boyfriend.
The drama club's props were all hand-me-downs, so everyone just made do with what they wore. Huang Liju had rented a set of high-end costumes.
Her gorgeous outfit, compared to the others' old costumes, was too conspicuous. A supporting role, even more high-profile than the main character, would have been condemned elsewhere. Fortunately, the atmosphere in their club was relatively positive, and everyone knew her reasons, so they didn't talk about her.
"If it were Lai Xiujing and the others, they would drink it!" Wang Jiazhi said to herself.
The script had been roughly finalized, and Wang Jiazhi finally didn't have to stay up late to revise it. Just as she was about to go to bed after finishing up for the day, someone knocked on the door and said, "Wang Jiazhi, there's something I don't understand. Can you teach me?"
Xiaoshuang and Wang Jiazhi smiled at each other and shook their heads helplessly.
Huang Liju came in with the script and asked for a while before leaving. Before leaving, she apologized, "I'm sorry to always bother you."
"It's nothing, it's not a bother at all."
After turning off the lights and lying down, Xiaoshuang and Wang Jiazhi started a bedside chat, chatting about gossip for a while.
Wang Jiazhi asked carefully, "You didn't come back yesterday. Where did you go to play?"
"We went to a late-night movie and watched several shows in a row. He fell asleep during the last one and didn't even know what he was watching. He said he was busy with rehearsals recently and didn't have time to go out with us. He was going to come back after watching a few shows, but I thought I might as well watch all night and see how many shows I could see."
"Is that so?" Wang Jiazhi paused and continued, "You two are really good. But you've only been dating for less than a year."
Xiao Shuang smiled and said, "Don't worry, I understand what you mean. We are both innocent now and have done nothing out of line."
Wang Jiazhi said, "I don't mean that anymore."
"That's clearly what you mean. I know you're worried about me and thinking about me. I understand. Although we're advocating for new women and the pursuit of freedom, a girl's reputation is still more important than anything else. I wouldn't be that foolish." Then he said mischievously, "Unless, over time, I fall completely and utterly in love with him, then we'll talk about it another time. And if they're not married, for a man to take a girl's virginity is incredibly irresponsible and doesn't show any genuine love for her."
Wang Jiazhi fell into deep thought. If it were Xiaoshuang, she wouldn't be as stupid as herself.
Yes, a girl's chastity is very important. She didn't regret losing her virginity before getting married. But being with the person she loves is not a loss. But she was confused...
Old Yi must have found out in the end, and he would also think that she was an unclean person.
There's a story in "Sanyan Erpai" about a girl who was betrothed to her father at a young age. Later, the man's family fell on hard times, and there was no news of him. Her father, heartbroken, wanted to find another man, but the girl told her mother that a good woman should not marry two men and must remain faithful to her husband. The search finally led to the man's return, and they arranged a date to meet.
The man was too poor to wear any clothes that were worn by others, so he told his neighbor about his situation and asked to borrow some clothes.
The neighbor was an ugly, shameless scoundrel who pretended to be a man to meet the girl. The girl and her mother had never seen the man before and thought he was the scoundrel. The girl's mother felt that although they were not married, her daughter was his for life and that they should not live in the same room together, so she walked away. The girl willingly accepted the scoundrel's insults.
When her real fiancé showed up a few days later, the girl was so disheartened that she couldn't face him and hanged herself.
The matter was reported to the government, and the ruffian was beheaded. To make amends to the man, the county magistrate married the ruffian's wife to him. The ruffian's wife was a virtuous and beautiful woman who had always been at odds with the ruffian. Marrying the scholar was a happy ending after all the hardships.
They all slept with the same man, and the girl deserved death for being insulted once, while the scoundrel's wife had slept with him for many years, yet she could marry him legally and retain her chastity. The scoundrel's wife certainly had no fault, but she was too unworthy of the girl.
The book is written by a man, who uses the man's psychology to create the ideal woman in the patriarchal world.
Two people who had never even met each other were determined to marry him. After meeting him, he turned out to be an ugly and wretched man, but they were still willing to be defiled by him.
Do you really think women are chaste and without any feelings?
If you have a status, you will be clean even if you are defiled by some shameless person. If you don't have a status, even if you are forced to do so and are defiled even once, you will be guilty of a thousand deaths.
If he were really a married woman, he wouldn't think she was dirty.
"I'm just stupid!" she thought to herself.
Xiao Shuang listened to her silence for a long time and asked, "Are you asleep?"
Wang Jiazhi quickly dispelled her thoughts and said, "No."
Xiao Shuang laughed and said, "You say, Huang Liju is so obsessed, isn't it that she has long been..."
Wang Jiazhi said, "Her boyfriend doesn't seem like a decent person. He's so greedy for her money, is he going to let go of something bigger?"
Xiao Shuang said, "If one day he lets Huang Liju down, I hope Huang Liju will still love him forever. That way she won't be so miserable."
Wang Jiazhi said, "That's right. If you keep stubbornly insisting on doing it, you won't regret it. If one day you really feel it's not worth it, it will only make you more miserable."
Just like how she felt towards Kuang Yumin, now she didn't even have hatred for him, only disgust. She herself hadn't thought that one day she would actually hate him so much. If it were Meng Shunying, she would definitely not treat her like that, but then she thought, Meng Shunying would never do such a ridiculous thing.
Xiao Shuang said, "But I think even if Huang Liju wants to break up, her boyfriend won't. He's eager to make it a done deal so that Huang Liju can't marry anyone else. The gap between our two families is too big. Huang Liju hasn't told her family about her relationship yet because she knows her parents won't agree."
Wang Jiazhi said: "Men are more realistic than women."
In the past, she believed that all men should be like Zhou Minlin: regardless of their abilities, they must be responsible, self-reliant, and independent. She was too naive, like Kuang Yumin, who was all talk and no action, appearing fair, just, and concerned for the country and its people. In reality, he was calculating, scheming how to exploit others to achieve his own success while he reaps the benefits.
If she hadn't asked Lao Yi to leave, and Lao Yi really died, they would be celebrating and getting promoted, so what would they do to her?
If she lived, they would ask her to continue to do the same thing as a prostitute. If she died, they would not feel the slightest bit of guilt.
As Ouyang said, "Everyone is here on a voluntary basis, and we can't just target Kuang Yumin."
That's right, it was all voluntary. She deserved to die and shouldn't blame anyone.
She even wondered if, even if she survived, they would deliberately fake an accidental killing. With her death, Kuang Yumin would have achieved his revenge, and no one would know about his despicable past. Lai Xiujin would also be happy. Huang Lei and Ouyang would also lament that unclean people deserved death.
Since childhood, she has believed that her lover should be gentle and considerate, and would love and care for her.
When they first got together, he just treated her as a plaything. But when he saw her unhappy, he would comfort her, even if it was insincere. This was the first time she felt it.
"Are your parents very loving? That's why you are so likable." Wang Jiazhi suddenly asked.
Xiao Shuang laughed and said, "Well, how should I put it? In the eyes of young people, they're of course an old married couple. But they do seem a little…" Xiao Shuang couldn't help laughing and said, "When my mom goes to my grandma's house for a day or two to take care of her, my dad calls at least twice a day. If he doesn't, my mom will definitely call. And really, the topics of conversation aren't anything romantic or romantic, but rather what they had for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, whether the beans are overcooked, whether the steamed buns are soft, and all that kind of boring gossip."
Wang Jiazhi also laughed.
It's true that people tend to overlook the things around them. She should have realized long ago that her father was also a man, and that men aren't always as idealized as they seem. For example, her father was selfish and cold-blooded. If she had realized this earlier and had fewer illusions, she would have been able to see through Kuang Yumin and wouldn't have suffered such a huge loss.
