Li Rui gave Jiang Nian a thumbs up, then turned to Ye Zhiqiu and said, "What your teacher said makes sense. People still need to study more. Don't listen to those people who say that studying is useless. Money can't be wasted. Knowledge in your head will be useful at any time. Just like this matter, if I don't have any ability, the article I wrote won't be accepted by the newspaper."
Ye Zhiqiu nodded, "I know, I will definitely study hard and let those stinky men know that women are no worse than them."
Even if he can't make money, he's still trying to save face. Ye Zhiqiu wants to save face.
Li Rui was a little embarrassed. "Hey, be careful with your words. There's a man in front of you. I'm different from other men. I've never looked down on lesbians. Jiang Nian can prove it for me. Please give me some face."
Ye Zhiqiu smiled embarrassedly, "I'm not talking about you. Brother Rui is naturally different from other stinky men. You are a good man, I know."
Li Rui then continued to brag, "You have good taste."
"By the way, did you know about that bastard's application to build a school?"
Jiang Nian knew who he was referring to without even thinking, but was a little surprised. "So soon? Building a school is not like building a house here. Can they get the application?"
"If it were someone else, I'm not sure. But I heard that Director Yan of our cooperative is a very knowledgeable person. He must know the benefits of letting the children go to school. I'm not sure whether it will succeed."
Building a school is definitely a good thing that will benefit the whole village, and he should be happy for the children. However, when he thought about his achievements being taken away by others, Li Rui couldn't help but feel angry.
He angrily made a request: "You are on my side anyway. If those two guys come to ask you for help, you are not allowed to help them."
Jiang Nian just looked at him without saying anything.
Li Rui was defeated. "Okay, I know I shouldn't do this. Zhao Heping is a bastard, and the children are innocent. If the school fails this time, they will have no chance to go to school. I shouldn't have such thoughts just because I'm angry."
But it was really infuriating, he was about to explode with anger.
"Actually, I think you don't need to target Zhao Heping. He snatched your opportunity just to make achievements or achieve other goals. You just need to do the task at hand well. As long as you are better than him, he will naturally fall behind, and your efforts will be in vain, right?" Jiang Nian said.
"Of course I want to say it. If it weren't for this, I really don't want to go to the Women's Federation's speech." He said with a bitter face, "You don't know, I, Li Rui, have become famous now. I am not only a friend of women, but also a public enemy of men. My goodness, I am really afraid that some bastard will put me in a sack when I go out one day."
Although he complained, he really didn't regret writing the article.
It was because of the in-depth understanding during this period that he realized how insecure the living conditions of rural women were.
They have absolutely no chance to be independent and have to either rely on their own parents' family or their husband's family. Society is always harsh on women and is far less tolerant than it is on men.
So over the years, there are quite a few women who have hanged themselves from the beams or jumped into the river and drowned. Zhou Xiaoju's mother is not the only one who has suffered such a great injustice.
