The Wenhao system helped me become a killer
Chapter 13 Datong 13
No matter how unhappy Shen Wenjiao was, she no longer had her parents and relatives who were infinitely tolerant of her. Although Shen's grandmother was sincere and dedicated to her, Shen Wenjiao had never received the wholehearted attention of her parents. She still had a gap between her and Shen's grandmother. The most important thing was that Shen Wenjiao felt that the difference between her and Shen's grandmother's thoughts was too big to coexist peacefully. She could only think about taking it slow.
In fact, even the Third Grandma Shen, who is actually in charge of the family affairs, rarely goes out. It is natural that she is very happy to have the First Grandma Shen come to chat with her. When women in this deep mansion get together, there are only so many topics to talk about, except for their husbands and children, clothes and jewelry, or all kinds of gossip about the neighbors.
Obviously, due to Grandma Shen's situation, talking about her husband was not a good topic, and Fang Jie'er happened to come. As a mother, Grandma Shen San naturally focused on Xiu Jie'er.
"Sister-in-law, the foot competition has become stricter over the years. I don't know if my Xiujie can win the first prize in two years. Hey, my Xiujie's feet are bound by the best foot binder! They haven't been loosened up yet. I don't think they will grow much in two years. Three-inch golden lotus will be no problem for sure."
Grandma Shen San was showing off to Grandma Shen Da in a reserved and vague manner.
"Oh, let me see. Sister-in-law, you are such a loving mother. Xiujie's feet are wrapped very well. It seems that in two years I will come to your house with gifts to congratulate you."
Grandma Shen leaned over to take a look at the pair of small feet under Xiujie'er's skirt. Shen Wenjiao also followed her gaze and looked over.
In fact, Shen Wenjiao had been curious about this for a long time, but she was afraid that it would be impolite if she moved too much.
At this age, as long as Xiujie persisted, her feet would basically be bound successfully. Her feet were even smaller and more delicate than Grandma Shen's. They were slender, thin, pointed and narrow, and looked pitiful and cute in the tiny embroidered shoes.
The finely crafted embroidered shoes, worn on Xiujie'er's tiny feet, peeking out from under her skirt, were indeed very beautiful. Shen Wenjiao had no idea of the size of her feet, but when she thought of the size of the shoes she wore when she was a teenager, cold sweat broke out on her back as she looked at Xiujie'er's feet.
The price of this kind of beauty was too high. Thinking of the broken foot bones in the foot binding, Shen Wenjiao shuddered and immediately looked at Xiu Jie'er with the eyes of a warrior, and asked carefully and distressedly, "Third sister, does your foot hurt?"
Xiu Jie'er was stunned by her mother's proud expression when she lifted her feet. She lifted her feet to show Shen Wenjiao, "It's worth it no matter how painful it is. Look, how beautiful they are! Jiao Jie'er, you have to know that you can only marry well if you wrap them beautifully."
How could foot binding not hurt? A pair of bound feet, a tank of tears. This sentence has never been an empty talk. But Xiu Jie'er is already more than ten years old this year, and according to her lunar age, she is twelve years old. In two years, she will have to participate in foot competitions to look for a husband.
She had long understood that foot binding had a bearing on a woman's fate for the rest of her life.
"Jiao Jie'er, you don't have to worry. Your aunt was also the champion of the foot competition. I'm sure you can wrap your feet beautifully too."
Hearing the conversation between the two little sisters, Grandma Shen San could easily hear the resistance in Shen Wenjiao's tone, but she didn't take it to heart, thinking that the child was scared because her feet were not bound properly last time.
"Jiao Jie'er, girls must always bind their feet. But you are still young and there is no rush to delay it two years. You will just have to suffer a lot by then." Grandma Shen San comforted her insincerely. She was not her daughter, and whether she bound her feet well or not would not delay Xiu Jie'er's marriage.
"That's right. I also wanted to wrap the child up earlier, but Jiao Jie had two serious illnesses in a row. She almost died. Fortunately, my Jiao Jie is small, so it's okay for her to stay at night for two years. If Jinlian can't be relied on, Yinlian will be fine! This is how Jiao Jie will be in the future. Fortunately, the child is still here. You will be blessed in the future, my third sister-in-law!"
Shen Wenjiao's body is developing very slowly in this life. It is probably because Li's mother didn't take good care of her in the past! After returning to her biological mother for so long, there has not been much change. Before Shen Wenjiao got the golden finger, she was worried about her future height.
But after taking the health pills, Shen Wenjiao's worries about her health were put to rest, but her worries about her height were still there. After all, Grandma Shen looked like a petite and delicate woman, and without comparison, Shen Wenjiao couldn't be sure if she was 1.6 meters tall.
Shen Wenjiao could only hope that her biological father whom she had never met would be more capable, otherwise she would become a dwarf in the future.
"Don't worry, Jiaojie, you are so cute and you will have a bright future." Xiujie is a kind-hearted sister. She touched Shen Wenjiao's little head and said comfortingly.
It's a pity for this little girl. Her future is uncertain.
Shen Wenjiao's face was full of black lines, and she was very speechless. She was only four years old now~_~ What about the future? This was too far ahead!
In fact, Shen Wenjiao took it for granted. The local custom is that good things should be done early. Girls start to bind their feet at the age of four or five. The elders in the family teach them some needlework. If the family has some skills, they will also add literacy courses. The final sprint stage is reached in the early teens. At the age of thirteen or fourteen, they will participate in foot competitions or follow the elders to various banquets and activities to make a name for themselves.
At this time, the outside world has received a hint from the girl that she is old enough to look for a husband, and those who are interested will start to take action. After that, a series of processes such as matchmaking, engagement, asking for a date, getting married, deciding on dowry, welcoming the bride, worshipping in the hall, etc., basically take two to three years, just when the girl is fifteen or sixteen years old, which is the right time for her to get married.
Of course, not all marriages are so complicated and delayed. Some brides are married at the age of twelve or thirteen because the man requires them to do so. At this time, if a girl is still unmarried at the age of fifteen or sixteen, she will be gossiped about.
There is a Longquan point under the tongue, and the greatest pressure on women often comes from women.
Grandma Shen looked at Xiu Jie'er with a gentle look. As long as she treated her daughter well, her attitude would be good. "Xiu Jie'er is right. In the future, I don't expect Jiao Jie'er to have any great success. It would be good if she could live a peaceful life. But she must find a wealthy family to live with."
Grandma Shen knows that a penny can kill a hero. In her heart, money comes first and her daughter comes second.
Shen Wenjiao and her daughter waited for a while, but in the end, Shen Wenmo, Shen Wenjiao's future classmate, did not come. He was suddenly taken out by Mr. Shen San to play and go shopping.
Shen Wenjiao noticed the envy and desire in Xiujie's eyes when Cuifen came to reply.
