As soon as Jiang Yilu finished speaking, the whole audience fell silent, as if no one had expected him to give such an answer.
"Xiao, Xiaobao."
Jiang Wencheng glanced at Jiang Yilu with a hint of worry. Although he agreed with what he said in his heart, with so many people paying attention to this matter, if Xiaobao refused to answer Fu Yunsheng's question so rudely and directly, it might give people the impression that he was guilty.
Fu Yunsheng obviously thought the same as Jiang Wencheng. His anger and anxiety disappeared immediately, as if he had grasped a huge handle. He looked at Jiang Yiliu confidently and said, "You don't answer. Do you not dare or can't?"
He looked around at the students who were watching silently and said, "I didn't mean to make such a big fuss, but he is so arrogant and licentious at such a young age. He refuses to admit his mistakes. I'm afraid he will become a cancer to the country when he enters society."
After saying this, he looked at Jiang Yiliu with a sad face and said, "Student Jiang, if you don't give us all a satisfactory answer, I will have to report this matter to the teacher and ask the teacher to give you a thorough ideological education."
Fu Yunsheng said this with great righteousness. Jiang Yilu sneered in his heart. He thought it was still the year before last. The Gang of Four had died long ago.
"Why are you making so many big claims? I'm just having a meal. Am I spending your money or eating your rice?"
Jiang Yiliu's expression did not change at all, as if Fu Yunsheng's accusation was insignificant. "Don't say that you and I have no relationship at all. Even if we do, my parents want me to eat well and dress well. That's their business. When is it your turn to make decisions for them? And according to your logic, as long as I am still a rural hukou, I must eat steamed buns for three meals a day and wear tattered clothes all year round. This is in line with your idea of the life attitude that rural people should have."
"You're nosy. Do you live by the sea?"
Phew! Jiang Yilu's sharp but funny answer made the people around him burst into laughter. It was the first time for them to hear such a sarcastic but vivid sentence.
But now after hearing what Jiang Yilu said, everyone started to think about it. It seems that it is understandable that parents are willing to give money to their children so that they can eat better. Nowadays, some people in the university are already married and have children. Once they have children, they can naturally understand the feelings of their parents.
And what Jiang Yiliu said also made sense. Who said that rural people must not be able to afford food? As long as the family members work hard, they can still live a prosperous life. Fu Yunsheng's words just now sounded reasonable, but as Jiang Yiliu refuted, it seemed that he felt from the bottom of his heart that people from the countryside could not live a good life.
Many students who just agreed with Fu Yunsheng and who were from the countryside were silent. Although they were still a little jealous of Jiang Yiliu, they could not really let Fu Yunsheng's words take effect. They worked hard to come out of the countryside, not for a bright future, so that their parents and siblings in their hometown could live a good life. If, as Fu Yunsheng said, they made a lot of money in the future, but their relatives and children still had to eat poorly and wear shabby clothes because of their rural household registration, then what was the point of them scrambling to go to college?
This was the first time Fu Yunsheng had seen such a sharp-tongued child. He had always thought that he was the smartest person around him, and with his brain, he had helped his parents gain a lot of advantages over the years. But even though he had always been successful, he was now cornered by a 14-year-old kid. The situation was reversed in an instant.
"Student Jiang, I apologize for my accusations against you just now. I just want to know, is it true that your fourth sister was forced to drop out of school in order to support your schooling as Student Fu said? If this is true, then I will never take back my criticism of you just now."
A heroic girl walked out of the crowd, stood in front of Jiang Yilu and questioned him.
Jiang Yilu recognized the person. She was Yu Yin, a junior student in the Journalism Department of Huaqing University and also the president of the Literature Society. She was a tenacious and legendary woman.
Yu Ying's grandparents were the first people in China to engage in news broadcasting. They were born in Haicheng and were reporters for the most famous newspaper in Haicheng, Shenbao. Her parents met each other while studying in the United States. Like their fathers, they devoted themselves to news as soon as they returned to China. In the most turbulent years, they wandered among the gunfire just to obtain the latest battlefield intelligence and pass it to the rear. Many times, they almost died under stray bullets. Even so, neither of them thought of leaving this beloved land and returning to the more stable United States.
Yu Ying is their only daughter, and she is the daughter they finally had when they were in their forties, when the country was finally stable and they had put down their burdens.
Since childhood, Yu Ying has received education in journalism from her parents and has lived an affluent and fulfilling life.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Yu's father was appointed editor-in-chief of Haicheng Newspaper because of his past achievements. During an ideological liberation activity, he was reported to have passed a manuscript that contained reactionary information. Yu's father had no way to argue, so he was kidnapped and criticized by the Red Guards and finally sent to Xinjiang Province for labor reform.
Yu's father had been shot on the battlefield in his early years. Due to limited medical conditions, there were still many shell fragments in his body. In addition, he was old and weak, so he passed away within a few years of going to Xinjiang.
Because Yu's mother gave birth to a daughter at an advanced age, she bid farewell to her beloved journalism job not long after giving birth to Yu Yin and became a housewife. She was lucky to escape the disaster.
During those years, the only thing that kept her alive was her first-class and third-class merit medals, which could barely help her daughter to eliminate the harm caused by her father being a reactionary. However, the early death of her beloved husband brought unspeakable pain to Yu's mother. Not long after watching her daughter's wedding, he died.
Wedding! That’s right, this heroic-looking woman with short, middle-parted hair had been married a long time ago and was now a mother of a child.
Her legend also came from this.
Yu Ying's husband was her classmate, and his family and the Yu family were also old friends. Even after Yu's father's accident, the exchanges between the two families did not decrease much. At that time, Yu Ying was grieving the loss of her father. The care and consideration of the other party made Yu Ying want to entrust her life to him. Not long after the other party proposed, the two held a wedding under the consultation of their elders.
Who knows, you can never judge a person by his appearance, the seemingly considerate and kind parents-in-law, and the seemingly affectionate and loyal husband, are actually extremely patriarchal in nature.
As the only daughter in the family, Yu Ying has been carefully cared for by her parents since she was a child, and has never really felt the feeling of being favored over girls. At the beginning of her pregnancy, she only vaguely felt that her parents-in-law wanted a grandson, and even her husband called her belly a son in daily conversation.
These were not enough to stir Yu Ying's sensitive heart. After she was eight months pregnant, the most infuriating thing happened.
Once, after drinking a bowl of nourishing chicken soup brought by her mother-in-law, her stomach began to cramp, and then she saw a large pool of blood under her body. Finally, Yu Ying was sent to the hospital by her panicked in-laws, and barely gave birth to a baby girl with little blood and purple bruises. If it weren't for Yu Ying's careful care day and night, I'm afraid the child would not have survived.
At first, Yu Ying thought it was just an accident. However, when she got up in the middle of the night to feed her daughter, she overheard the conversation between her mother-in-law and father-in-law. It turned out that the bowl of chicken soup was added with a secret recipe that her mother-in-law got from somewhere, claiming that as long as she drank it, she would give birth to a boy.
Yu Ying was so angry that she almost fainted. She didn't understand how her mother-in-law, who had studied abroad and received higher education, could have such ignorant and foolish ideas and almost killed her own flesh and blood.
Yu Ying, who was of a straightforward temper, could not help herself and started making a scene. To her disappointment, her husband, the father of her daughter, did not think that there was anything wrong with his mother's behavior and even urged Yu Ying to apologize to his mother.
Yu Ying wanted to divorce at that time, but no matter how strong a woman was, she couldn't make up her mind at that moment. The child still needed the father, that's how Yu Ying comforted herself at that time.
Because Yu Ying's daughter was born prematurely, her health has always been poor. She has to go to the hospital every few days, and it is common for her to wake up and cry three or five times in the middle of the night.
As time went by, Yu Ying's mother-in-law's guilt faded, and she began to force Yu Ying to give birth to a grandson as soon as possible, and she became more and more disgusted with her granddaughter who kept crying. She even told Yu Ying to give up treatment and give birth to a healthy baby with her son as soon as possible when her granddaughter had a high fever.
That time, Yu Yingcai was truly heartbroken.
After her daughter's condition stabilized, Yu Ying filed for divorce without hesitation and demanded custody of the child. She had no intention of arguing with that cold-blooded family. After paying the price of a house, she completely broke off relations with that family with her daughter.
That house was the only one in the Yu family that had not been confiscated. Yu Ying thought at the time that the man was willing to marry her because of the house.
Some people laughed at her for being silly, some people laughed at her for being pretentious, but Yu Ying did not regret it at all. She lost her house, but gained the most precious little angel in her life.
Perhaps because of her personal experience, Yu Ying began to pay attention to the women around her who suffered from the preference for boys over girls, and devoted herself to the movement for gender equality. With the secret support of her parents' old friends, Yu Ying came to Huaqing University and enrolled in her parents' journalism major. While taking care of her daughter, she frequently spoke up for women in news magazines, hoping to use her weak power to change this old custom.
This is why Yu Ying cares so much about what Fu Yunsheng just said.
She looked at the immature yet mature boy in front of her. Immature in appearance, mature in heart, a strange and contradictory feeling. Yu Ying really appreciated what Jiang Yiliu said just now. If he was not a person who squeezed her sister's blood and tears, she would be happy to accept this child into the literature club as an exception.
Among all the clubs in the university nowadays, the most popular one is the Literature Club. Similarly, the recruitment of members to the Literature Club is also the most stringent. Currently, there are only 20 members in the Literature Club, and each of them is a prominent figure in Huaqing.
When Fu Yunsheng saw Yu Ying appear, his eyes lit up, and he said to Yu Ying without thinking: "Senior Yu, what I said is true. Jiang's fourth sister couldn't go to college because of him."
But his grandmother said that this was what they heard when they were at the Bai family's old house. Someone who was traveling with them asked Jiang Yilu's mother why she didn't let her fourth daughter go to college when her grades were obviously good enough. Jiang Yilu's mother replied that it was she who didn't allow her to go, and she persuaded the elders in the family to delay his fourth sister's study.
This was said by his mother herself. Would a mother discredit her own son? Fu Yunsheng was confident about this.
But even so, he still felt a little annoyed. He regretted making trouble in the cafeteria. He had always dreamed of joining the literature club. Now, the scene of him being suppressed by Jiang Yilu was seen by Senior Sister Yu. Would she think that he was useless and reject his application to join the club? For a moment, Fu Yunsheng felt a little uneasy and annoyed.
“Nonsense!”
Jiang Wensheng refuted Jiang Yiliu without him saying anything: "Yiliu's second sister is now studying at Huaguo Medical University, and her third sister is studying at Huaguo Business University. It's pure bullshit that you said Yiliu exploited her sisters to live a better life."
Jiang Wen cursed angrily.
"They are all college students!" The people around exclaimed, and looked at Jiang Yilu differently, especially those students who also came from rural areas.
It is not easy to support a college student nowadays. The Jiang family has three of them at once, and they are all admitted to such excellent universities. Not to mention the Jiang family's efforts, the fact that they are willing to let their daughter, who will get married sooner or later, go to college shows that they are definitely not the family that Fu Yunsheng mentioned, who exploits their daughter to support their son.
Of course, they didn't guess that the Jiang family really favored sons over daughters, and the reason they trained several granddaughters was to gain greater value from them. Now Mrs. Miao is happy in her hometown, thinking about how much benefit her granddaughters can bring to her baby Xiaobao after they start working.
However, whether her baby wants this benefit is not something the old lady can control.
