Gu Ning has heard and seen a lot of such things.

When she first learned about it, she felt that these girls were pitiful and very sad.

But after listening to and seeing too much, Gu Ning felt that he was a little numb and would no longer have such big mood swings.

Because she was used to it.

When something becomes the norm, people won’t be surprised about it, and most people won’t think it’s wrong.

This is the limitation of the times.

Gu Ning nodded and said:

"Yes, I have seen many like this before. When I was in junior high school, some female classmates started school late, so they were older. Halfway through school, their parents asked her to drop out of school and go back to get married, because the bride price was relatively high. "

"Ugh……"

Jin Jiayin sighed,

"I don't know what to say. I can only say that fortunately my parents are not very patriarchal. Although they do pay more attention to the boys in the family, they also love me more. They usually have the same food and clothing expenses, and I was allowed to continue in high school.”

"You have to know that the peers I know who are about the same age as me have to either work or get married. Originally, I graduated from junior high school with good grades. I could be assigned a good job and have an iron rice bowl, and I would be given money when the time comes. Give it to the family.”

"But my parents did not choose to do this. Instead, they asked me to continue studying. They said that after high school, I could find a better job and have a better life in the future."

Liao Shuyi nodded and said:

"My parents also said the same, let me study hard and provide a better iron rice bowl in the future. In fact, we are relatively lucky. The girls in my hometown don't even talk about studying. They don't even have enough to eat. You have to work every day. When you are a little older, you get married and pay back the bride price to your family."

Gu Ning nodded, which reminded her of Gu Pan and the girls she saw in the brigade.

Gu Pan is the one Gu Ning has the most contact with because they live together.

Although he has very few memories of being over one year old, Gu Ning can still recall a few scenes of Zhang Pandi beating and scolding Gu Pan, giving all the delicious food to Gu Jiabao, and letting Gu Pan go to work.

In fact, Gu Ning didn't see many such things. The main reason was that Zhang Pandi didn't dare to go too far due to the majesty of He Chunlan, her mother-in-law.

Even if he wanted to curse, he would usually do it secretly in the house.

But even so, it left a deep impression on Gu Ning.

After all, none of the other girls in the family are like this, only Gu Pan.

Although the family also favors sons over daughters, they do not deliberately abuse their daughters, and they usually treat them well.

They will pay more attention to boys and leave the family's property to them, but their daily expenses for food and clothing will be similar.

Only Gu Pan, Zhang Pandi and Gu Lin have not allowed her to go to school, so she did not go to school until she was already a little older.

Of course, compared to the girls in the same team, Gu Pan was already pretty good, but living with Gu Ning made Gu Ning feel more deeply.

You must know that the girls in the same brigade have to start working as soon as they reach the age where they can work. Many of them do housework from morning to night.

But this is not the case for the boys at home. They can stop doing housework and play everywhere.

Moreover, if there is any delicious food at home, it must be left to the boys to eat first. Whatever good things there are, they are given to the boys in the family.

The girl really had nothing and had to come back in exchange for a betrothal gift.

Some families are unethical and it is common for them to be beaten and scolded every day.

Gu Ning sometimes wants to change, but she will not directly help these girls because it is useless. What needs to be changed is the world.

Why do you say that?

Just look at Gu Pan.

It's not like Gu Ning has never seen Gu Xiu secretly feed Gu Pan delicious food.

Every time he gave her food, Gu Xiu would watch her finish it outside and would not let her take it back.

Because she brought them back, she couldn't eat these things.

In the same way, the same goes for those girls.

It is impossible for them to leave this family, so even if the things are given to them, they will not be able to reach them.

Unless one day they can leave the family and be their own masters, this will be a relief.

It is better to teach people how to fish than to teach people how to fish.

This topic was really heavy, and everyone fell silent for a while.

As girls, they feel sad.

Although they are relatively lucky, it does not mean that everyone is as lucky as them.

After a moment of silence, Liao Shuyi spoke again:

"This world is really difficult for girls. It is said that in the new era, marriage is free, women have the right to divorce, and the Women's Federation will help women. But what I see is that many women swallow their anger because they have to face the consequences of divorce. Gossip.”

"I have a cousin whose husband hangs out every day and beats people, but she still hasn't divorced her. Because she has two children, if she gets divorced, not only her, but her two children will also be affected. So she I just kept swallowing my anger.”

"That man never pays money to the family. He spends all his money on eating, drinking, and gambling. Sometimes he even asks my cousin for money. The whole family is supported by my cousin."

Jin Jiayin covered her mouth in surprise:

"Isn't it? Your cousin-in-law still dares to break shoes outside? Aren't you afraid of being caught and eating the wooden buns?"

Liao Shuyi shook his head and replied:

"You think too simplistically. Although we are cracking down on broken shoes now, someone still needs to report them. My cousin-in-law is a bastard, and his family is not easy to mess with. Who wants to make a fuss about his neighbors? "

"And he doesn't have any competitors. Many of the people who were reported for breaking shoes were people who hated them and went out of their way to report them."

Jin Jiayin was discouraged:

"Yes, who wants to get involved with such a person and cause a mess. I have never heard of people around me who don't support their families and go out to eat, drink, whore and gamble every day. Maybe they just didn't let me know. Your cousin is too unjust. This is true. It’s hard to choose.”

Speaking of this matter, Gu Ning thought of Gu Jinhua.

She nodded and said:

"It's difficult, but it's possible to be ruthless. My grandfather's cousin is like this. Her husband had an affair with the widow of the brigade a few years ago, and then she found out, so she chose to divorce."

Liao Shuyi's eyes widened slightly:

"Isn't it right? Doesn't she have children? Does her parents agree with this? Doesn't anyone in the brigade say anything about her? I remember that reputation in rural areas is much more serious than in cities."

Gu Ning nodded and replied:

"She has children. She has a son who was born after more than ten years of marriage. Her son supports her very much, and my grandfather's cousins ​​also support her. She has been living with her parents' family after the divorce, and she can do some work every day. To support herself. And her son also sends some things from time to time."
