"Are there really such brave people?" Dong Nianmei asked, asking everything she had always wanted to know.
In this era when women are expected to obey their husbands after marriage, how could there still be women who dare to take the initiative to divorce their husbands?
After the divorce, her natal family did not despise her. She was able to gain a foothold in society through her own efforts and had a good life.
This step, seemingly simple, makes most women afraid to take it, and makes Dong Nianmei hesitate to move forward.
"There really are such people." Qian Chunhua said affirmatively.
Her thoughts couldn't help but drift to the time before she traveled through time, when men and women were equal and women could work and make money.
A man can only marry one wife, but women can go to school, take exams, work, and even become officials.
Qian Chunhua had experienced all of this personally, but now he was describing it to Dong Nianmei.
Qian Chunhua, however, felt that everything in the past was so beautiful, and yet so out of reach for her now.
Dong Nianmei listened to Qian Chunhua's description, her eyes full of hope, "It would be great if we could live in that kind of world."
Qian Chunhua also hopes to live in such a world where men and women are equal.
The two smiled and fell into a brief silence.
"Look at you. You're so young, but you're always so sad. You're almost like an old woman." Qian Chunhua took the initiative to ease the atmosphere and even pinched Dong Nianmei's face.
Yes, a twenty-year-old girl is in the prime of her youth, why should she think so much?
Dong Nianmei sighed, "Sister Chunhua, you don't know, although there are two concubines in the mansion now, they dare not do anything to me.
but……. "
However, when the words came to her lips, Dong Nianmei shut up again.
"But what?" Qian Chunhua was curious.
Dong Nianmei made up her mind. After all, Sister Chunhua was not an outsider, she would definitely understand her. "But yesterday, Fei Ling arranged for someone to go to the capital to pick up her mother.
Hey, Sister Chunhua, you don’t know, my mother-in-law…”
Having said that, Dong Nianmei shook her head and said no more.
Her mother-in-law was afraid that others would say that the Yang family relied on their marriage relationship to live a wealthy life, so she always wanted to control Dong Nianmei inside and outside.
In this way, they wanted to let everyone know that it was not them who rushed to marry the daughter of the Dong family, but that the daughter of the Dong family married Yang Feiling because she was marrying someone above her station.
For the sake of family harmony, Dong Nianmei endured all of this, but what did she get in return for her endless tolerance?
Thinking of the past, Dong Nianmei smiled bitterly and shook her head.
This marriage was actually proposed by the Yang family. On that day, Yang Feiling had not yet graduated from high school, but she also showed extraordinary academic ability.
After proposing to the Yang family, my brother also inquired about the Yang family's situation.
The news was that the Yang family had few members, only a widowed mother raising Yang Feiling. Yang Feiling was a good student and would definitely pursue a career in politics in the future.
The Dong family does not expect their son-in-law to become successful, they just hope that their daughter can marry into a good family.
The Yang family is a simple family, and their daughter will not be subject to much control after marrying into the family.
It doesn’t matter if the Yang family has no money, because the Dong family has.
With this idea in mind, the Dong family agreed to the Yang family's proposal, and Dong Nianmei also married into the Yang family with high hopes for the future.
Unfortunately, the Yang family was small, and with her dowry, he married two concubines in less than a year. Now the family is not small, but they still have no children.
If there is no money, Dong Nianmei will bring some dowry.
Even though she had used everything the Dong family had, Yang's mother was still afraid of what others would say, and she controlled her daughter-in-law to the point of suffocating her.
Dong Nianmei shuddered at the thought that she was about to interfere in her life again.
Qian Chunhua also understood that this was the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law that no woman in ancient or modern times could escape, and she didn't have any good suggestions.
