General, the lady escaped again

The men here have such feudal ideas, she has already suffered a lot from them. If she hadn't stood up now, she would often run into male villagers who looked down on her in the village. The way they looked at her was as if they were telling her, how can a divorced woman still have the nerve to walk around...

"Are you worried that I will lock you up in the backyard because of other people's gossip?" Fang Chen looked at Ji Xiaomu, who nodded truthfully, "You are also a man, you should understand all men's thoughts, right?"

"I don't deny it, but not all men are like this. As for me, I will never stop you." Fang Chen said with a smile. "You don't have to worry about the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, because I am alone and have always been..."

"Besides, I don't think it's shameful for women to work outside. If they hadn't had any money at home, why would they take the initiative to come out and earn money? They can't even afford to eat, so why should they care about their face? Face can neither feed their children nor make money. Why should they care about it?" When Fang Chen said this, that sad face involuntarily emerged in his mind.

He lost his parents when he was young and could only wander around the streets hungry, drinking water to survive. When he reached the entrance of an alley, a pair of weather-beaten hands pulled him, asked him to sit behind a stall, took a cake from the stall and gave it to him, then touched his head and ignored him, continuing to sell her sesame cakes.

That day, he felt full for the first time. She didn't say anything, just touched his head and told him to come to her if he was hungry. She would sell sesame cakes at this place every three days. Later, he went there twice. When she saw him, she would pull him to the back of the beach and give him a cake. She never said a word. He looked at her back and would remember it for the rest of his life.

Later, people in the village also began to help him. He ate at many houses and never felt hungry, but he would still come to see her. Until one day, he just walked to the entrance of the alley and heard her screams. He rushed over and squeezed into the crowd. He heard others say that her husband had made a big scene at her stall, saying that she was a shameless woman who showed up in public all day long and that he was not allowed to set up the stall anymore, otherwise he would divorce her. He rushed forward to protect her, but she held him and shook her head, packed up her things and followed the man away. Before leaving, she touched his head, said sorry, and said she would not give him cakes anymore.

When he grew up and returned, he found her, but discovered that she was not living well. Her husband's family refused to let her sell sesame cakes for the sake of their reputation. The family was poor and the husband had no ability to make money, so he could only make a living by copying books for others. She had skills but was trapped at home. When he found her, she was only thirty years old, but she looked as haggard as an old woman, with a miserable face, doing the dirty and tiring work at home. He learned that her two children had starved to death because the family had no money and food.

Back then, he didn't understand and was even more angry. Why did her husband, with such a good skill, who could have sold sesame cakes to support the family, insist on trapping her at home for the sake of face? His own child even starved to death. Didn't he feel sorry for her at all?

He had a big quarrel with the man. The man believed that women should stay at home and not show up in public. It was his incompetence that the child starved to death. However, he just couldn't allow women to sell sesame cakes outside or go out to work.

The woman pushed him out of her house apologetically, and before closing the door, she secretly put a pancake in his hand, and then told him to stop caring about her and not to come again...
