She pulled Qin Yunxiang aside and tried to persuade her.
“I know you’ve suffered, and you can empathize with Sister Yun Duo. You want to save her from her suffering, but her situation is different from yours.
You have already mentioned this matter. Sister Yun Duo doesn't want to get divorced. This is her choice.
The last time I mentioned divorce to you, you thought about it, which means you had considered this issue subconsciously. My words only made the seed in your heart break through the ground.
But Sister Yunduo is different. She has not thought about this problem. She does not agree with your idea and is unwilling to divorce.
If you keep imposing your own ideas on her and want her to get a divorce like you, in your opinion you are helping her out of her misery, but in her opinion that may not be the case.
If you keep talking like this in front of her, she will complain sooner or later, so why bother?
Qin Yunxiang was silent for a moment, then said, "But it's too pitiful for her to be beaten every day like this."
"Second sister, take your time. This matter concerns a lifetime. You have to let her think it through clearly. Only then will she be able to struggle and save herself."
"What you said is really mysterious."
Shen Anyian smiled at her and said, "Second sister, you should go and get busy first. We need to hurry up and get the goods."
Lin Yunduo cannot be blamed for this matter. Everyone around her has endured it this way, and she thinks she can endure it too.
She spends every day around the stove, her husband and children, and has no way of getting information from the outside world. She doesn't know that there is another way for women to live.
Shen Anyian was originally a bit lazy and didn't want to take everything on himself, so he gave the task of teaching Qin's father and mother to read to Shen Anyui.
Now it seems that she is too lazy to steal at all.
Reading can make people wise, so she wants to teach them how to read and write.
Maybe there is not much she can do, but she can open a window for them and let them see the outside world.
Shen Anyian told her father Qin about her idea. Although her father supported her, he also told her some of his concerns.
Everyone is already very tired after working in the fields all day, especially the women. When they get home, they have to take care of their husbands and children, and may not have time to study with everyone.
His concern was also within Shen Annian's expectations.
It is indeed difficult to set up literacy classes.
But she can't not do it just because it's difficult.
"The literacy class is voluntary. There's no need to force them. As long as there's someone willing to come and learn, I'll teach."
"That's more than one person. It's me, your mother, your eldest brother, his wife, and your second son. We all have to support your work."
As the team leader, he naturally knew the importance of culture, otherwise he would not have gritted his teeth and sent all his children to school.
What's more, the third son's wife graduated from high school and her level is higher than that of the commune teachers.
People have to pay tuition to go to elementary school, but he doesn't have to pay a penny. If he doesn't come to class, wouldn't he be losing out?
Shen Annian laughed, "Dad, since you support my work so much, can you help me find a suitable place to open our literacy class?"
"There are still a few empty houses in the village. When you are free, go over and take a look. Is there any suitable place?"
"Okay, then I'll go and see it tomorrow when I'm free. Dad, when the time comes, tell the villagers to count the number of people so I can order tables and chairs for them."
"We don't need to order tables and chairs. The brigade warehouse still has tables and chairs. Although they are used for eating, it won't be a problem to use them for studying.
When the time comes, I'll have the boss and the others move it out, and your mother can just clean it up and use it."
Song Annian was very satisfied with his arrangement.
This way you can save some money, which you can use to buy newspapers.
Listening to the radio and reading newspapers are the most convenient ways to obtain information in this era.
There is no electricity in the village, so they cannot listen to the radio, but they can still subscribe to newspapers.
After returning home, Shen Annian went to find Qin Laosi and asked her to help him subscribe to a newspaper.
She works in the village and it is impossible for her to go to town to get the newspaper every day.
It just so happened that Qin Laosi worked in the commune, and he could bring newspapers back for her every day after get off work.
Qin Laosi agreed readily.
Going to the post office to get a newspaper doesn't take much time.
After Shen Annian left, the fourth brother's wife complained to Qin Laosi, "Why are you helping her? You're just looking for trouble for yourself."
"The newspaper isn't heavy, so I'll just bring it back with me. It's just a matter of convenience."
But my fourth brother’s wife doesn’t think so.
She was still upset that they were able to work in the factory while she had to stay at home.
Although she is not so eager to go to the factory now, she can choose not to go, but if they don't let her go, that's another matter.
"She's hanging out with my eldest sister-in-law and second sister right now. They're all whispering to each other all day long. I wonder if they're saying bad things about me."
"Impossible, you are the only one who can imagine this."
Qin Laosi didn't believe her at all.
He may not understand the tempers of his eldest and third sisters-in-law, but he knows his second sister's temper too well. She is not the type to speak ill of others behind their backs.
Although her temper had changed a little over the years since she married into the Zhao family, it had almost returned to normal after she returned home.
If she doesn't like someone, she will point it out to their face and never say bad things about them behind their back.
The fourth brother's wife had no idea what Qin Laosi was thinking, and she started making a fuss again when she heard what he said.
"What's impossible? I'm your wife. Do you believe them or me?"
"Are you trying to make trouble again? They work in a food factory. Why haven't you considered that they're discussing factory matters?
