Chapter 258 Traveling back from the modern times to the 13th year of the Republic of China

The more Ye Heqi thought about it, the more excited she became. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that this matter was very feasible.

After all, what she said was all true.

And in her memory, in the early days of the Republic of China, most of those who published divorce announcements were men with higher education. Since the first person who published a divorce in the newspaper, publishing engagement, marriage and divorce announcements in newspapers has become a very common form. Since

this trend is destined to come, her mother can be the first person to try it.

Maybe it will be criticized, maybe it will cause controversy, but compared with the gains, it is not worth mentioning at all.

However, this matter still depends on the wishes of the parties involved.

So Ye Heqi racked her brains and told Yao Rong all the pros and cons. At the end, she said, "Mom, just follow your true thoughts and don't force yourself. It doesn't matter what you choose."

Yao Rong didn't expect Ye Heqi to have such a big imagination.

... At the beginning, she really just wanted Ye Heqi to write a novel and earn some royalties.

But it must be said that Yao Rong liked this plan too much!

"No problem, I'll do as you say, I will definitely cooperate with you."

Ye Heqi's eyes curved, and he climbed from his bed to Yao Rong's bed, holding her hand tightly: "Don't worry, mother, no matter what happens, I will be by your side, and face it with you."

To complete this plan, the first step is to write letters to Chen Wan and Zhou Qihuai, waiting for their replies; the second step is to write the novel.

But before that, Ye Heqi decided to take her mother to the department store first, and then buy clothes, vanishing cream, lipstick, and buy everything that she wanted to buy but couldn't buy before and everything that was searched by Old Madam Ye!

Yao Rong certainly couldn't dampen her daughter's interest when she was willing to spend money on buying things for herself, but she couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you feeling sorry for the money? Why are you spending all this money?"

"No, no, no, it's not a waste of money. This is all my obsession!" Ye Heqi shook his fingers, "Besides, don't we already have a way to make money? Just think of it as an advance overdraft."

Yao Rong laughed, "This consumption concept is not good."

"Then I will be responsible for making money from now on, and you will be responsible for managing the money, so that I won't spend

it recklessly again." Ye Heqi put one hand on his waist, held his head high, and said righteously, "But today, you have to listen to me!" Then he pulled Yao Rong into the tailor shop and asked the tailor to make a set of clothes for Yao Rong.

"Make one for you too." Yao Rong said to Ye Heqi.

Ye Heqi shook her head and refused. She was not particular about dressing up, and she would bring her mother to the tailor shop specifically because she wanted to customize a long dress for her mother.

If you want to transform a person, you must not only change your thoughts from the inside, but also change your image from the outside. The change of image has a significant effect on improving a person's temperament and mentality.

Ye Heqi hoped to use this method to gradually wash away the marks of the old society left on her mother.

Yao Rong did not persuade her any more.

But after the tailor measured the size and agreed with Yao Rong on the time to pick up the clothes, she immediately pulled Ye Heqi out: "Have you bought almost all the things you wanted to buy for me?"

Ye Heqi thought for a moment and nodded: "Almost, there should be nothing missing."

"Then let's go, now it's my turn to buy things for you." Yao Rong said directly.

Ye Heqi's eyes widened, this time it was her turn to say that Yao Rong was wasting money: "Mom, I don't lack anything, the clothes I brought out are still in good condition."

Ye Heqi has his reasons, and Yao Rong certainly has her reasons.

"Just think of it as buying New Year's goods in advance. Don't worry, I can still afford to buy you two sets of clothes."

"And what else? When you left, you only brought the pen I gave you. You didn't bring paper or ink. You also need letter paper and notebooks for writing novels. You will definitely need these things."

Listening to Yao Rong's inventory, Ye Heqi found that she really needed to buy a lot of things.

Forget it, I just arrived in Shanghai, so I have to splurge a little.

Thinking of this, Ye Heqi's steps became lighter and lighter.

"Shanghai Daily" newspaper office.

As one of the largest newspapers in Shanghai, the newspaper office is located in a western-style building in the International Settlement.

Early in the morning, Ye Fuguang came to the newspaper office with his briefcase as usual. After greeting several colleagues, he walked into his independent office with freshly brewed coffee. He

was busy until the end of the work day, and then Ye Fuguang packed up and went home.

The villa he and Wen Cui rented was located in the best area of ​​the International Settlement. The monthly rent was 120 yuan. A few minutes away, there were not only the most famous Western restaurants in Shanghai, but also cinemas, dance halls, theaters and department stores.

When Ye Fuguang got home, Wen Cui was lying on the sofa in silk pajamas, applying cucumber.

"You're back?" Wen Cui said with a smile.

"Well, where's Yaozu?" Ye Fuguang asked when he didn't see his son.

"He said he was going to see a play with his classmates after school and would go home after the show."

Ye Fuguang frowned: "He asked you for money again? This is the nth time this month."

Wen Cui didn't care: "It's normal for a child of his age to like to play and make trouble. Besides, do you know who asked him to go to the play? It's the nephew of the deputy mayor of Shanghai. It won't do Yaozu any harm to have a good relationship with him."

Upon hearing this, Ye Fuguang's face looked a little better.

"Okay, okay, why are you angry with the child?" Wen Cui walked behind Ye Fuguang and helped him take off his Zhongshan jacket. "I want to eat steak. That brat is not here. Let's go to the western restaurant together. It's been a long time since we went out to eat alone."

Ye Fuguang nodded: "Okay, then you go upstairs to change clothes. We will go over when you are ready."

Wen Cui smiled with satisfaction and went upstairs. When she was about to reach the third floor, she suddenly remembered something and turned back to Ye Fuguang and said: "There is a letter from the Ye family. I haven't opened it yet. I put it next to the radio."

Ye Fuguang turned his eyes and saw the letter that Wen Cui mentioned.

He picked it up casually, tore it open and took out the letter inside.

At a glance, Ye Fuguang's face became completely gloomy.

Wen Cui washed off the cucumber and sat in front of the dressing mirror. Just as she was about to put on makeup, Ye Fuguang suddenly rushed into the room.

Wen Cui was startled, her hands trembled, and her eyebrows were drawn crookedly.

"It's killing me..." she complained.

"Don't put on makeup, you don't have to go out for dinner tonight." Ye Fuguang's face was as gloomy as water.

Wen Cui put down the eyebrow pencil in her hand: "What's wrong? Did something happen at home?"

Ye Fuguang opened and closed his lips and teeth several times, but no sound came out.

Even to Wen Cui, the person next to him, he felt embarrassed to open his teeth.

"Oh, you're making me so anxious, what happened?" Wen Cui stamped her feet and snatched the letter from Ye Fuguang's hand. After reading the beginning of the letter, her expression suddenly became very interesting. "How...how could this be? Yao Rong actually has such courage?"

"How should I know?" Ye Fuguang said unhappily, "Pack your things quickly, we will return to Beiping tomorrow morning."

"I'm going back too?" Wen Cui frowned subconsciously. She was living well in Shanghai and could do whatever she wanted. Why did she have to go back to Beiping to suffer

? "Grandmother was sick because of Yao Rong's escape. If you, the granddaughter-in-law, don't go back, do you want to anger her to death?"

Seeing that Ye Fuguang was angry, Wen Cui didn't dare to say anything else and agreed reluctantly.

***

On the day when Ye Fuguang and his family rushed from Shanghai to Beijing, the editorial department of Women's Newspaper also received a letter from Shanghai.

The recipient of the letter was Zhou Qihuai, and the sender was - Ye Heqi?

When Zhou Qihuai saw the sender's name clearly, he was immediately surprised.

"What's wrong?" Chen Wan, who was also picking letters at the side, said.

"Heqi wrote me a letter."

"He wrote a letter, what's so strange about that?" Chen Wan smiled, her eyes fell on the envelope, and immediately showed an expression similar to Zhou Qihuai, "Why would the letter be sent from the Shanghai Concession? Hurry up and open it and take a look."

Zhou Qihuai quickly tore open the envelope and took out the stack of letter paper inside.

Although she hadn't seen the contents of the letter yet, looking at the thickness of the letter paper, Chen Wan smiled and said, "It seems nothing serious has happened." The

fact that Ye Heqi had time to write such a long letter at least showed that the environment he was in was safe.

"No, it's really something serious!" Zhou Qihuai read the beginning of the letter paper, suddenly pressed the letter to her chest, and suppressed her screams, "It's a big happy event ah ah ah ah ah!"

The other three colleagues around also gathered around. After working together for so long, it was the first time they saw Zhou Qihuai so excited and out of control.

"I'm so excited. Wait a minute. I'll read it to you with deep emotion. Don't stop me. Don't stop me."

Seeing Zhou Qihuai, who was so excited that he was incoherent, Chen Wan felt both amused and curious: "Okay, read it. I'll pour you a glass of water. It will take a while to read this letter."

Zhou Qihuai didn't care about Chen Wan's teasing. He jumped onto a chair and began to read it.

When she heard the sentence "My mother and I have safely escaped from Ye's house and arrived in Shanghai", Chen Wan's body trembled violently. She didn't even notice that the water in the cup was already full and overflowing.

"Editor-in-Chief Chen." Zhou Qihuai quickly reminded, "Shuishuishui, did you get your hands burned?!"

Chen Wan came back to her senses and quickly put down the cup: "It's okay, the water is warm."

"Editor-in-Chief Chen, are you happy?" Zhou Qihuai smiled, "Heqi said that Madam Ye... Oh, no, Ms. Yao completed her awakening after reading our "Women's Newspaper."

Chen Wan turned away, not wanting Zhou Qihuai and the others to see her slightly red eyes: "I am indeed very happy."

Happy for Yao Rong and her daughter.

Also happy that the cause they have persisted in for several years has finally borne fruit.

Taking a deep breath to calm herself, Chen Wan handed Zhou Qihuai the water cup and said, "Okay, you just read half of the letter, why don't you read the second half and see what they said in the second half of the letter and whether they encountered any difficulties in life?"

Zhou Qihuai drank some water to moisten her throat and turned to the next page.

She was so shocked that she couldn't read any more after reading half of the letter.

She published a divorce statement in Shanghai and Beijing newspapers, making Yao Rong the first person to publish a divorce in the newspaper in the Republic of China?

She also wrote a novel based on the mother and daughter and serialized it in Women's News?

She also said, "If you don't read Women's News, you won't understand awakening"? ? ?

This, this, this...

Zhou Qihuai only had one sentence in her mind: This overwhelming wealth, one day, will fall into the hands of "Women's Newspaper"!

If this overwhelming wealth is caught, the sales of "Women's Newspaper" will definitely skyrocket, and it will become one of the most famous women's newspapers in the industry.

"I want to go to Shanghai!"

"I must meet Yao Rong and Ye Heqi in person!"

Zhou Qihuai and Chen Wan's voices rang at the same time.

The two smiled at each other. It seems that they have thought of the same thing.

"Editor-in-Chief Chen, you have a wide network of contacts. You go to Shanghai, and I will stay in Beiping and wait for you to bring back good news." Zhou Qihuai said straightforwardly.

"Okay. Then I'll pack up and leave tonight, and I'll be in Shanghai early tomorrow morning."

"So urgent?" Zhou Qihuai said, "Then I'll ask for leave from you this afternoon."

Asking for leave was of course no problem, but Chen Wan was curious: "What are you in such a hurry to do?"

"You'll know later." Zhou Qihuai's voice came from the gate of the courtyard.

Chen Wan shook her head helplessly and immediately went back to the office to pack up.

***

It has been more than half a month since Yao Rong and Ye Heqi moved to Shanghai.

Except for the first few days when they went out, Yao Rong and Ye Heqi stayed in the rental house for the rest of the time.

Yao Rong couldn't help Ye Heqi write novels, so he helped her conceive the plot of the novel and embellish the psychology of the characters.

With Yao Rong's embellishment, the novel's writing style may still be lacking, but the emotions are extremely rich.

"Mom, you are too amazing." Ye Heqi gave Yao Rong a thumbs up.

Yao Rong said modestly: "You are amazing, I just expressed my own thoughts."

Ye Heqi picked up the pen again and was about to continue writing when he heard a knock on the door.

"Hey, someone knocking on the door?" Ye Heqi looked towards the door.

"You sit here, I'll go and take a look."

Originally thought the person was the landlord or something, but when the door opened and saw the dusty woman standing outside with bags, Yao Rong was very surprised: "Editor-in-Chief Chen, why did you come in person?"

Chen Wan looked Yao Rong up and down, and saw that she was in good spirits, and a slight smile appeared on her face: "We received the letter you sent. How can I not come here in person to keep an eye on such a big thing?"

"Please come in." Yao Rong reached out to take the things on Chen Wan's body.

The two sides briefly reminisced about the past, and after confirming that Yao Rong and Ye Heqi were both doing well, Chen Wan pointed to the largest package and said, "This is a gift from Qihuai to you."

Yao Rong opened the package and only then could she see clearly what was inside.

It was two new and beautiful winter long skirts.

"This is..."

Chen Wan held a water cup and introduced in a gentle voice, "The light blue one is for you, Ms. Yao; the goose yellow one is for Heqi."

Yao Rong and Zhou Qihuai have similar figures.

Some time ago, Zhou Qihuai ordered this light blue skirt at Su's tailor shop. Before she had time to pick it up, she heard about Yao Rong's situation. She hurriedly asked for leave and ran to the tailor shop to pick up the skirt, and asked Chen Wan to deliver the skirt to Yao Rong.

The goose-yellow skirt was a new sample made by Tailor Su. It was originally to be hung up to attract customers, but Zhou Qihuai bought it directly.

"Qi Huai said that the place where she first saw you was in Su's tailor shop."

"At that time, she sincerely hoped that you would all have the opportunity to wear clothes from Su's tailor shop, so it was very appropriate to use Su's tailor shop's clothes as a gift to celebrate your escape from the sea of ​​suffering."

Yao Rong stroked her skirt and said with a smile, "Thank you very much, Miss Zhou."

"You're welcome. We should be the ones thanking you." Chen Wan smiled bitterly, "If I hadn't received your letter, I might have stopped publishing "Women's Newspaper" next year because I couldn't afford the money."

Yao Rong and Ye Heqi both knew that the business of "Women's Newspaper" was not good, but they didn't expect it to be so bad.

Yao Rong did not ask any further questions, but smiled and changed the subject: "Editor-in-Chief Chen, you came at the right time. Heqi has been busy writing a novel these days, and has already reached the part where she and I escaped from the Ye Mansion. We would like to ask you to give us a review."

Chen Wan was shocked, and all the fatigue seemed to be swept away with the good news: "I have already written so much."

Yao Rong: "It is better to do it sooner rather than later. It would be best if we can finish it before the New Year."

Her consistent principle is that if we can finish everything before the New Year, we should not delay it until after the New Year.

Chen Wan spent a full hour reading all the contents.

She closed the manuscript and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Editor-in-Chief Chen, what do you think?" Ye Heqi asked nervously.

Although her mother has been praising her all the time, and she also thinks that she writes well, she still has to listen to what professionals say.

Chen Wan looked at the uneasy Ye Heqi and smiled, "The emotions are so touching. Seeing you successfully escape from the Ye Mansion and escape to Shanghai, I just feel refreshed and all the depression in my heart has disappeared."

She originally thought that Ye Heqi's plan was only 80% likely.

Now after reading this novel that is completely based on reality and adapted from reality, Chen Wan feels that the plan has a 100% chance of success!

With such a plan, she doesn't know how to lose!

"I have many old friends in the Shanghai newspaper industry. I will contact them immediately and ask them to help publish the divorce statement." Chen Wan quickly finalized the next course of action.
