Chapter 729: People who have been in a jar for too long will be trapped in the jar for life
Noticing Sang Zhixia's expression, Chen Jing'an quickly explained, "They don't force women of good character into prostitution, nor do they forcibly abduct women. The people in these places are all willing, and most of them don't sell their bodies, they only sell their skills!"
"Shut up."
Xu Yu glared at Chen Jing'an and said, "These places I mentioned are not meant to force them to follow the same path as when they fell into the hands of the Wei family. They are just to temporarily designate a clear destination for them."
"They have the same experience. Staying together for a long time will do more harm than good. It would be better for three or two of them to separate and go to different places first."
"What if we wait till then?"
This was the first time Sang Zhixia had heard Xu Yu talk about this. She paused and said, "After we get there, how will we settle down?"
"It's actually pretty similar to what you're thinking now. Based on each person's different wishes, let them learn things they didn't know before."
After careful consideration, Xu Yu said, "If anyone doesn't want to, they can leave at any time and seek their own survival. If they have nowhere else to go, they can always return to Tingyue Tower."
"If you are willing to stay, you can choose the next step according to your own wishes."
"No matter what, as long as you are in Tingyue Tower, you will always be protected by Tingyue Tower, and no one can force you to do anything you don't want to do."
Although the name of Tingyue Tower sounds nice, it is actually not a good place for women in the world.
Once you enter a brothel, you will have a stigma for the rest of your life.
Even if a prostitute only sells his art and not his body, he will inevitably be looked at strangely when he walks around.
But faced with a group of little girls who have no home to return to, have no sense of autonomy, are afraid of independence, and only want to commit suicide, this seems to be one of the few places left.
At least in Tingyue Tower, you don't have to worry about safety and you can have enough food and clothing.
Sang Zhixia was a little hesitant.
Chen Jing'an smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, most of the people taken in by Tingyue Tower are homeless and unable to protect themselves. They range from orphans and beggars to those sold by their families, and they don't just do the kind of things that are said in the world."
"Once these people are released, their only destination is death. Tingyue Tower is like a place for them to stay. They can come and go freely without any constraints."
"But since the first Tingyue Tower opened until now, we've had over a thousand disciples, and not a single one has left. So, can we rest assured?"
Sang Zhixia couldn't help but whisper, "But are they willing?"
"We are the only ones who know what's going on here. What if a bunch of young girls who haven't experienced anything suddenly hear the name of a brothel and feel like they've just escaped from a tiger's mouth and walked right into a wolf's den?"
Xu Yu looked at Sang Zhixia, who was genuinely worried about these girls, and breathed a sigh of relief with mixed feelings: "Zhizhi, they will definitely agree."
Facing Sang Zhixia's stunned gaze, Xu Yu said helplessly, "They don't really want to die. They just don't know where to go for the time being, and suddenly they've lost their way back."
"What they lack is a real-life backbone they can rely on. They're afraid you'll let them leave and fend for themselves after they finish their studies."
"If there's a place where they can be sure they're always there and can always come back, they won't be so panicked and won't be rejected."
Sang Zhixia really found it difficult to understand the logic that one must rely on something in order to survive, but he really had no idea what to do with those little girls who were determined to commit suicide.
Sang Zhixia was silent for a while, bit her lip and said, "Then let's try it?"
Before Xu Yu could say anything, Sang Zhixia asked, "Is it really as you said after entering Tingyue Tower?"
"You guys really don't do such wicked and frivolous things?"
Xu Yu laughed and said, "No."
“No one dares.”
Xu Yu's guarantee is still very credible.
Sang Zhixia stood up without hesitation: "Okay, wait a minute while I go ask."
Sang Zhixia walked away quickly.
Chen Jing'an played with his folding fan and sighed, "Otherwise, why do you say you're lucky?"
"Marrying a wife is a rare and extraordinary woman."
Chen Jing'an tapped Xu Yu's shoulder and said with emotion, "Even if nothing else, just the fact that my sister-in-law can live on her own without relying on anyone else is already better than many people."
Sangzhixia's tenacity comes from the inside out.
Normally, he is low-key and unnoticeable, but in fact, he makes his own decisions on everything and is not easily disturbed by the outside world.
When Xu Yu was around, Sang Zhixia showed her dependence on him without reservation.
When Xu Yu was not around, Sang Zhixia was like an unshakable pillar that could stabilize the sea.
She and Xu Yu always walked side by side, rather than relying on each other.
Even if Xu Yu had not existed, Sang Zhixia would have become the respected Sang Dongjia sooner or later.
But this is something that most women in the world are not allowed to have.
Obey your father and elder brothers at home; obey your husband and sons after marriage.
The lives of most women are tied to a handful of men. They are used to not choosing and numb to being chosen.
So Sang Zhixia had no idea what to do with these little girls who had lost their support and seemed to be at a dead end.
Because it's hard for her to empathize.
It is also destined to be unsolvable.
Xu Yu slapped Chen Jing'an's claws away in disdain and said with a dull face, "From now on, everything about Tingyue Tower will be your responsibility. I won't interfere."
Chen Jingan: “…”
Chen Jingan was furious: "You think the money I earn is dirty!"
Xu Yu: “…”
"Stop being crazy."
Xu Yu sneered, "I'm just afraid of being caught again and having to complain to my wife."
"Remember to explain clearly to your subordinates what they should and shouldn't do. If anyone breaks the rules..."
"Hey, General, are you still worried?"
Chen Jing'an unfurled his folding fan and curled his lips in a cold smile: "When it comes to methods of torture, I don't need any advice from the general."
"I understand it very well myself."
Xu Yu was too lazy to hit Chen Jing'an from time to time, so he got up and went to wait outside the door.
Half an hour later, Sang Zhixia came out with a complicated expression and said, "They said, go."
With a specific place to go and a guarantee that they will not be forced, they can decide for themselves whether to come or go and get married.
If you don’t want to leave, you can stay in Tingyue Tower forever.
The little girls who had just formed a group to commit suicide have calmed down, stopped crying, and can even muster up the courage to ask questions.
It was obvious that Tingyue Tower was not a good place in the eyes of the world, but they were like drowning people who suddenly grabbed the only piece of driftwood and were unwilling to let go.
Sang Zhixia was amazed: "Is the change so obvious?"
Xu Yu laughed and said, "It's a good thing that you agreed. Can you rest assured now?"
Sang Zhixia hummed with mixed feelings. Before leaving, she couldn't help but look back once more and said softly, "Are they really free?"
Xu Yu was stunned for a moment before he realized what Sang Zhixia was asking. He pinched Sang Zhixia's fingers and said, "At least, your body is free."
As for the soul...
Anyone who is kept in a jar for too long will be trapped in the jar for the rest of their life.
Even if the jar is broken, the person covered in bruises cannot escape from the broken jar.
Sang Zhixia had already helped them break the jar that trapped their feet. As for whether they could get out, that depended on themselves.
Realizing Sang Zhixia's absent-mindedness, Xu Yu whispered, "Zhizhi, do you want to see a dog-eat-dog fight?"
Sang Zhixia looked puzzled: "What do you mean?"
"The head of the Nanxun Chamber of Commerce is dead. Nanxun must be very lively tonight. Do you want to watch the fun?"
Sang Zhixia asked subtly, "Yan Jun is going to die?"
Xu Yu nodded affirmatively: "Yes, tonight."
"On his way to the Jiangnan Governor's Mansion."
Sang Zhixia: "..."
I have to say that the leader of the association is indeed different from others.
The death date was also announced in advance...
It’s amazing!
