"Haha, that's it! Mrs. Peng downstairs has been complaining about it all day~" Ms. Feng Ya seemed to have thought of something funny, she picked up the handkerchief in her hand, covered her mouth with it and laughed happily.

Mrs. Peng downstairs is an interesting person. Mr. Peng goes to school every day and seems to be busier than Mr. Tian and Mr. Qu who work normally. She is rarely at home even on Sundays. I heard that she went to attend some literary gathering.

The couple had no children and their family sent money every month. Compared with the Tian and Qu families who had to support their parents and children, the Peng couple should have had the best time. But in reality, Mrs. Peng liked to play cards and gamble for a little money, and Mr. Peng seemed to spend a lot outside, so they always had to wait for money from their family every month.

This would naturally mean a delay of a few days' rent, and Miss Xu was not the kind of person who would do good things with a good temper, so she was naturally unhappy! Moreover, since she had occasionally met Mr. Peng at some literary banquets, the two of them had only chatted briefly.

I don’t know if Mr. Peng said something when he went back, but ever since then Mrs. Peng has looked down on Miss Xu and has been very rude when she gossips about Miss Xu among the neighbors on the second floor.

As for Madam Tian and Madam Qu, it was even simpler. They were polite in front of Miss Xu, after all, she was the landlord's daughter. But they were not much polite when gossiping with Madam Peng in private. In short, Miss Xu, who was prettier, richer and better off than them, was not a decent person.

Shen Wenjiao sometimes couldn't help but sigh, there were only a few people in this building, including adults and children, and yet it was so lively day after day.

"It's none of our business, we just listen for fun~" Ms. Feng Ya concluded.

Shen Wenjiao (¬_¬) mother, I can see clearly the fake neighborly relationship between you two!

"Oh, right, Mom. I asked Doctor Jian for you! If you want to have your foot fixed, you'll have to have surgery if you want to recover properly. If you really want to have your foot fixed, I'll make an appointment with Jian for you as soon as possible. Doctors are also very busy~"

Shen Wenjiao also explained the precautions she had recorded to her mother in detail. Compared to Ms. Feng Ya, the person involved, Feng's mother listened more seriously than she did, asking questions from time to time.

"That's about it. Freeing your feet isn't much easier than binding them. Mom, you need to think about this carefully~"

Shen Wenjiao left the decision to Ms. Feng Ya. She could make any decision she wanted.

Ms. Feng Ya looked at her palm-sized feet with a half-smile on her face, recalling everything that had happened in the past. She then thought of what she had seen and heard after arriving in Shanghai, and her determination became even stronger.

But~

"Jiaojiao, do you want your mother to unbind your feet?" Ms. Feng Ya looked at Shen Wenjiao with eyes longing for approval. Although she had made up her mind to a certain extent, she was still a little scared when she thought of the pain of foot binding.

"Madam, why don't we just forget about it? Anyway, there are rickshaws to go out." When Feng Ma heard that unbinding feet would be a more painful process than foot binding, especially having to operate on the feet, she felt sorry for Ms. Feng Ya and was about to back out! When Madam bound her feet, she was with her from beginning to end, and she saw how much pain Madam suffered.

"Qingye, I know what's going on. Jiaojiao, what do you think?" Ms. Feng Ya asked Shen Wenjiao again. She had been used to relying on others all her life. Before she got married, she relied on her parents' family. After she got married, she relied on her husband's family. Now she can live such a comfortable and leisurely life thanks to her daughter.

Ms. Feng Ya naturally cared very much about Shen Wenjiao's thoughts.

"Mom, you ask me! I don't care whether you have big feet or small feet, you are my mom anyway! Without your protection when I was a child, I wouldn't have been able to grow up smoothly. It's up to you whether you want to let go of your feet or not!"

When Shen Wenjiao first arrived as a child, she had no idea how much effort it took for a mother who was not valued by her husband's family to raise a child safely. At that time, she even had the mind to complain that her mother was not good enough to her.

Shen Wenjiao now understands more, and sometimes laughs at her own hypocrisy and self-righteousness from the bottom of her heart, so when she came to Shanghai, she also brought her mother with her! She is also very filial to her mother on weekdays.

"Mom, I hope you can follow your heart. I have never disliked your small feet. I just feel sorry for you. It must have been painful to have your feet bound!"

Shen Wenjiao squatted down and carefully described her mother's three-inch golden lotus feet, which were now smaller than hers. She could still vaguely remember her mother's proud look when she showed off to her. She didn't expect that the world had changed and her mother actually wanted to unbind her feet.

Shen Wenjiao's words of sympathy made Ms. Feng Ya burst into tears. Ms. Feng Ya touched her daughter's little head squatting in front of her. The luckiest thing in her life was raising a good daughter.

At the beginning, the Shen family was attracted by her well-bound feet, and the master did not say anything but was very supportive. As a result, they lived a good life, and the master went out to study and made progress. As a woman, she didn't know what the master had learned and where he had improved.

But the result of her years of waiting, respecting her parents-in-law and managing the household business was that her former pride was despised.

Haha, Ms. Feng Ya now thinks that her insistence seems ridiculous. The masters never disliked bound feet, but her wife who was arranged by her parents and matchmaker!

"Mom wants to untie her feet. It doesn't matter how painful it is. I also want to go out shopping and buy groceries, and not have to take a rickshaw every time I can't walk for long."

Ms. Feng Ya said firmly that this time it was her own choice, and she would no longer have to worry about the opinions of men! Reading novels written by women, women can also be emperors, no worse than men. When she was managing the Shen family, the family's income was much more than when Master Shen Wu was in charge!

"Okay, as long as you're not afraid. I'll schedule an operation for you. Doctor Jian upstairs can do it. There's nothing to be afraid of with a minor operation. I'll accompany you through your rehabilitation. After you're well, I'll take you to eat delicious food, go shopping, watch a play, and drink tea. You can have fun however you want~"

Shen Wenjiao clapped her hands, obviously very happy with her mother's choice. The most important thing was her mother's own request rather than considering other people's opinions.

"Alas, Madam!" Seeing this, Aunt Feng couldn't stop the one who had already agreed, so she could only sigh deeply and help Ms. Feng Ya prepare! Even though she was afraid of having a knife on her own lady's foot, she didn't say anything else.
