Chapter 473 A Woman's Path to Self-Improvement



As long as there is one person who changed their destiny because of her.

As long as there is one woman who awakens in this feudal society!

After that, millions of women will awaken!

By then, the millions of baby girls in the world's abandoned baby towers will be able to be reborn in peace and enjoy a bright future!

Let's say goodbye to this old lady!

Lin Ru handed one of the two purses in her hand to Wu Ling!

Wu Ling quickly took it, holding it tightly in his hand, looking at it from left to right, his heart filled with joy, his fingers tingling.

He truly wished he could put this woman who had captured his heart into this small purse and carry her with him at all times, so that only he could see her joys and sorrows.

But he only indulged in a small fantasy in his mind.

After all, a person like His Majesty should be admired by everyone and be able to flaunt himself freely. It's already quite good if he can get attention to him even briefly!

He curled the corners of his mouth and carefully fastened the purse to his waist, as if it were a rare treasure.

After hanging it up, I felt even more cheerful as I walked.

They visited several more places.

The stalls were mostly frequented by women!

I inquired whether they were facing any difficulties at present.

It can also be considered as a way to understand the people's conditions.

But Lin Ru never expected that these women's path to self-reliance would proceed even faster than she had imagined.

It's such a pity!

There was not a single girls' school.

Therefore, the only way out for these women now is to start their own businesses.

After all, working for someone else requires certain skills and knowledge!

She decided to open a girls' school after she returned.

Take your time to prepare for the imperial examinations in the future.

Since she was an empress, it was impossible for her to be the only woman in the court.

Every woman in this world should shine in her own field.

Suddenly, a commotion in front of her pulled her from her thoughts.

Lin Ru and her companions walked forward and saw a large crowd of people gathered in front of a restaurant. They pushed through the crowd and walked to the front, where they saw a pitiful woman dressed in coarse linen clothes kneeling at the entrance of the restaurant. On the steps of the restaurant stood a richly dressed, pot-bellied middle-aged man.

"Stop kneeling here. If so many people see this, they'll think I'm bullying you. If you continue to act so unreasonably, I'll have to call the officials over to judge the matter."

Upon hearing this, the woman immediately wiped away her tears and stood up, straightening her back.

"Manager Liu! My young master has worked for you for five months, but you have only paid him half of his wages. Every time he wants the other half, you have all sorts of excuses to refuse. Now my young master is sick and needs money. He wants to get his wages back. Why is this considered unreasonable?"

"I've been pleading here for so long, and you still show no mercy. Fine! Then let's go to the authorities and have a word with them."

The local people, unaware of the whole story, initially thought this young woman had come from somewhere to freeload.

Many people criticized the woman, accusing her of being greedy!

I never imagined there was such a hidden story behind this.

Upon seeing this, Manager Liu's face immediately darkened.

"How dare you speak like that, little girl? What proof do you have that I didn't give your young master money?"

"She's just a little maid. Does your young master have to tell you everything he does?"

"Besides, the Jing Kingdom has long since perished! You keep calling me 'Young Master,' are you still thinking about the old days?"

The woman said neither humbly nor arrogantly, "We are naturally not thinking about the old days, but you are now acting in the same way as before. Aren't you afraid that Her Majesty the Empress will find out?"

"Furthermore, Her Majesty the Queen has already issued a proclamation that all workers must sign a contract, and this contract must be registered with the government. If no contract is signed, the workers have the right to demand payment from the government! In that case, you will have to pay three times the wages."

"Furthermore, someone like you who defaults on wages and fires workers without cause should pay five times the wages in compensation, and the length of your prison sentence will be determined based on the amount owed!"

Manager Liu narrowed his eyes slightly.

His eyes were like those of a venomous snake.

"You little brat, you know a lot."

"But I'll say it again, how can you prove he worked for me?"

"I'd like to see who dares to testify for you!"

"You have no idea who my backer is!"

“Let me tell you, no matter how dynasties are updated and how many new laws are established, as long as my backer is still here, you have no way to deal with it.”

Upon hearing this, the young girl involuntarily took a few steps back. She knew that Manager Liu had powerful backers, but she did not expect that Manager Liu would dare to say such things in public. It seemed that he had no memory of the past or that he had people in the government.

However, she kept thinking of her young master lying on his deathbed.

Suddenly, I felt an overwhelming surge of courage.

I don't care who your backer is.

"As long as Her Majesty the Queen reigns, this law will exist for as long as she reigns."

"Then you should follow the rules!"

"I refuse to believe that your backer is any more powerful than Her Majesty the Empress."

The shopkeeper Liu sneered, "Her Majesty the Empress is naturally greater than anyone else, but don't you know the saying, 'The emperor is far away and the heavens are high'?"

"Besides, Her Majesty the Empress is only focused on building the palace; how could she possibly care about you?"

Who do you think you are?

"She's nothing but a lowly slave."

"Since you're so arrogant, don't blame me for being impolite."

As soon as he finished speaking, he waved to the people behind him.

"Guards, take this lowly slave away!"

The onlookers, seeing this, all felt indignant on his behalf.

But he was also well aware of the immense power behind Manager Liu.

They had the will, but were powerless to do so.

After all, these people all have families. Even if they feel sorry for this little girl, there's nothing they can do, for fear of implicating their own families.

The little girl saw the large hand approaching her step by step, her eyes filled with determination!

If her life could be used to gain the attention of the authorities, then all the kindness the lady had shown her before would not have been in vain.

It's such a pity! She can no longer serve the young master.

Thinking of this, tears welled up in her eyes uncontrollably.

"Then come on, you'd better kill me."

"Anyway, I'm not afraid of you."

"One day Her Majesty the Queen will see the ugly faces of you people."

"She avenged me and the young master!"

"Come on! You lackeys!"

After she finished speaking, she casually picked up a stone from the ground and prepared to fight those people to the death.

But her body was far too thin.
