Just when Chen Xuanxuan was worried about the marriage of her two daughters, her father-in-law Gu Yu'an came in with a frown on his face.
The current family conditions of the Gu family are much better than before. Back then, the Gu family relied on the Chen family and got a lot of benefits when they leased official land.
In the past, they couldn't even afford to eat, but now, old man Gu Yu'an can smoke and drink every day.
Gu Yu'an, with a red drunken face, picked up the long cigarette and took a deep puff.
After puffing for a while, Gu Yu'an, who was sitting there, sighed and told Chen Xuanxuan.
"Daughter-in-law, don't be so stupid and stubborn!"
"The innocence of our two eldest granddaughters has long been gone. They have been touched and bumped by men. Their pants were torn to shreds. Tell me, what kind of good family can such daughters marry into?!"
"Let me put it bluntly. Even if you spend money to give these two impure girls to others for free, those men may not want them!"
Chen Xuanxuan's two cheap daughters, one named Daya and the other named Xiaoya, were sitting in their bedrooms eating persimmon cakes at this time!
At this time, they suddenly heard their own grandfather say such words in a loud voice. Suddenly, their eyes turned red and they cried out.
Whenever they thought about how their little sisters, who they had grown up with, would look at them with strange eyes after they left the house, and that the uncles and aunts they met would only point fingers at them, saying that they were dirty and not innocent..., they felt particularly painful and pathetic.
Sometimes they even felt that they did not deserve to live in this world...
Daya was crying at this time, and she could not help but tell her sister what was in her heart.
"Sister, sometimes I really think that women like us are better off dead!"
"They are obviously good families with clean and innocent people, but they suddenly encountered such a thing. Can we get married in the future?"
Gu Xiaoya is two years younger than her sister.
Although there is only a two-year age difference, she has been brought up by Chen Xuanxuan herself for nearly ten years.
No matter what, Chen Xuanxuan is a person who has been deeply influenced by the nine-year compulsory education, and she has also attended a university before. In addition, her original living environment is relatively open.
Therefore, Gu Xiaoya was unconsciously influenced by her. Her three views gradually moved towards Chen Xuanxuan unconsciously.
Gu Xiaoya is a person who likes to think.
Although she felt surprised, angry, and painful when she heard her grandfather say that at the beginning.
But when she suddenly heard her sister say that, she immediately fell into thinking.
"Sister, some of this doesn't seem right?"
"If we are dirty if men touch us, why should we get married in the future?"
Gu Daya couldn't help but frowned after hearing this, "Sister, what do you mean by this? I don't understand..."
Gu Xiaoya replied, "Didn't they say that if we women are touched by men, we are dirty? If we get married, we will definitely touch men, and we will still become dirty. ... So, I think, if a woman wants to stay pure, she should never get married."
Gu Daya suddenly fell into deep thought after hearing this.
That's right.
A woman should stay clean, not be touched by men, and never get married in her life.
When she thought of this, Gu Daya suddenly felt that the things her grandfather had said to her recently seemed to be contradictory.
If being touched by a man means being dirty, then being touched by a man after marriage, wouldn't it be even dirtier?
After sorting out this logical relationship, Gu Daya actually stopped crying.
For the first time, she began to think deeply about why she wanted to get married in her life.
When she thought of those matchmakers saying, "A woman should find an honest man who knows how to live in this life," Gu Daya couldn't help but tell her sister what was in her heart.
"Sister, if we really listened to those people and married such an honest man, then we would be like those poor women in the village, doing laundry, cooking, cleaning, working in the fields, and then giving birth to eight or ten sons. If the parents-in-law are not satisfied, they will scold us. If the husband is not satisfied, they will beat us. Not only will we have to live by others' faces every day, but we will also have to worry about whether we will be sold by them... Sister, do you still remember Xiaolan from our village?"
Gu Xiaoya nodded, "I remember! Why don't I remember it?"
"After she got married, her husband sold her to the dock in the county town and said she was a whore. If it weren't for our village's uncle Da Zhuangzi who went there to have sex last month, I don't think anyone in our village would know about it!"
Gu Daya couldn't help but ponder after hearing this, "Sister, I suddenly realized that some of what our mother said really makes sense."
"Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for women from wealthy families to be taken to brothels by their men to sell themselves. After all, those wealthy families care about face. But those poor families care about practicality and real money! It is the real benefits!"
Gu Xiaoya nodded, "Sister, let me tell you the truth, I will never marry those men who are not good-looking and have no money. Others say that those men are honest and know how to live, but I don't believe it."
"No matter what, I still want to find a family with better conditions so that I don't have to live a hard life."
"I don't want to pick up manure, and I don't want to farm. I don't want to be busy from morning to night all day, 365 days a year."
"..."
Gu Xiaoya was in the room, describing to her sister the life she wanted to live in the future.
In the main room on the other side, Chen Xuanxuan, who suddenly heard what Gu Yu'an said, was really furious.
She now has her biological father as a backer. County Magistrate Gao has already taken office and came here several times with his entourage last month.
Therefore, she was really confident when she scolded her father-in-law.
"Beast! You are really an old beast!"
"Those two are your granddaughters! Not only did you push them into the fire pit yourself, but you also said these frivolous words there? I tell you, don't think I don't know who led those Wangs here!"
"..."
Gu Yu'an couldn't help but turn his eyes away when he heard this.
"Daughter-in-law, what do you mean by that?"
