The Wenhao system helped me become a killer

No matter what calculations and deals were made between the adults, Shen Wenjiao, a four-year-old child, could do nothing about it, not even able to watch it happen.

That day, Master Shen appeared in front of Shen Wenjiao like a flash in the pan, and there was no news of him after that.

Grandma Shen sent Lu Ma away completely within a few days, leaving only Wang Ma and her daughter to serve. Shen Wenjiao looked at her mother who was obviously in a good mood and endured the grievance in her heart.

"Mom, why did you let Lu Ma go?" Shen Wenjiao couldn't help asking as she flipped through the Three Character Classic that Grandma Shen had found.

Grandma Shen glanced at the book in Shen Wenjiao's hand and said in a good mood, "Mother Lu has to pay her for taking care of us. Mother doesn't have much money, so she should save as much as possible. It's better for mother Wang and her daughter. Shuang'er doesn't need to be paid, as long as she is well fed."

Mr. Shen might have some thoughts in his mind. It was obvious that he gave a lot of money to Mrs. Shen this time. Mrs. Shen has been in a good mood recently.

Shen Wenjiao nodded as if it was a matter of fact, and the little braid on her head kept swinging.

"What about my father?" You know, Master Shen was the hero who saved Shen Wenjiao's little feet! Shen Wenjiao had a good impression of this father whom she had only met once.

Especially the conversation between Grandma Shen and Master Shen that night, Shen Wenjiao also heard it. After all, her father paid attention to her studies and gave her a considerable amount of child support.

After a few days of self-adjustment, Shen Wenjiao has come to terms with her grandmother's behavior of using Shen Wenjiao as a condition to get benefits from her father. After all, no one can ask parents to give all their emotions and money to their children!

It is better for people to be a little confused. If they ask for too much, they will not be able to live.

"Oh, you remembered it after just meeting your father once! You biased little girl, have you forgotten that it is your mother who usually takes care of you? Your father left a long time ago, and he has only been back for two or three days. I heard that he had a quarrel with the old man."

"We'd better not show up at the old lady's place recently. If she gets angry with us, we'll suffer a great loss!"

With the large sum of money given by Mr. Shen, Grandma Shen felt more at ease. There was a way to live without a son. Anyway, as long as she was not kicked out of the Shen family, her natal family, the Feng family, could not control her.

Shen Wenjiao was a little dumbfounded when she heard Grandma Shen's rambling. Was her father going home for a short trip? It's only been a few days! He left too quickly and without making any noise~

However, looking at the high-spirited Grandma Shen, Shen Wenjiao silently gave her a thumbs up in her heart. If her mother hadn't been prepared, her father would have come back and left again, and the mother and daughter probably wouldn't have known.

"I heard that it seems to be related to the study of the men in our Shen family. It seems that the requirements for the imperial examination have been changed. The young masters in the family have to go to new-style schools to learn. The old master intends to let your father take the younger generation of the family to Peking. Your father seems reluctant~"

With money in hand and confidence in her heart, Grandma Shen is now in the mood to gossip. No one knows where the news came from, but she is happily whispering to Shen Wenjiao!

Sometimes Shen Wenjiao especially admired Grandma Shen's ability to collect information. They were together almost every day now. Where did she get so much information? Could it be when she was taking a nap?

You have to know that in this era, the discipline of women in Datong was very strict. For a respectable family like the Shen family, it was not easy for women to go out. At most, they would stay in the inner house. Otherwise, how could foot binding be so popular that foot competitions were held every year!

"Your father was a famous talent in our area. He passed the imperial examination and became a scholar at a young age. He even got the first place at that time! Who could have thought that the situation would change later? Foot binding was not allowed in Peking anymore!" When talking about this, Grandma Shen felt unbalanced and resentful.

Master Shen's trip back was not in vain, as he brought a lot of new news from Peking. Xu Bijun's obvious big feet caused a big stir in this self-enclosed place. However, whether to bind feet or not was a small matter, and the abolition of the imperial examination system was the major concern of the masters.

The masters in the family are discussing this matter now!

"Mom, Dad has said it! Don't bind my feet!!!" Shen Wenjiao didn't care at all whether to take the imperial examination or not. Anyway, she had no intention of dressing up as a man to take the exam. What's more, there were church schools in the Republic of China at that time, and they were all girls!

Shen Wenjiao emphasized in a low voice that she didn't want to break her feet and have them tied into three-inch golden lotus shapes. She was very satisfied with her chubby little feet.

"I know, I know. I remember what your father told me to do. You are such a short-sighted girl. My feet are not much prettier than Xu Bijun's. I think you are just afraid of pain. Only those who endure hardships can become successful. What's the point of having a pretty face? Without a pair of good feet, you are just a half-bodied Guanyin. What will you do when you grow up?"

Grandma Shen is now proudly showing off her feet. She just made a pair of new embroidered shoes and they look good on her feet! The first place in the foot competition was the most glorious time for Grandma Shen. Her feet are her belief and her self-confidence.

Shen Wenjiao didn't want to argue with her mother about the disadvantages of bound feet. It was useless. Her mother grew up in an environment where bound feet were considered beautiful. It was useless for Shen Wenjiao, a four-year-old child, to speak.

Shen Wenjiao's words are useless, but the words of Master Shen, the breadwinner of both mother and daughter, are useful!

"Dad said no. I'll listen to Dad~" Shen Wenjiao puffed out her chubby little cheeks and emphasized again, she wanted to jump on the ground a few times.

Grandma Shen had no choice but to hold her in her arms, tapping her little head and saying in a scolding tone, "Just remember this, bad girl. Forget it, forget it, you're going to Peking with your father anyway, and they like big feet over there. What a bunch of weirdos~"

Shen Wenjiao thought to herself, you guys have a weird aesthetic, don't you? I wonder which pervert came up with the idea of ​​foot binding in the first place, it's really harmful to people. What's so good about these little pointed feet that are the size of a palm? They are so thick that they are not afraid of foot odor~

"It's getting late. Go back and have a good rest. Go find Mo Ge'er tomorrow and learn to read together! I heard that the one teaching you is a student. If it weren't for your father, he wouldn't be willing to teach you, a girl."

Shen Wenjiao looked at Grandma Shen who was speaking in surprise. No, mother! Didn't her father leave money for her education? Why did she have to go to Third Aunt's house to take lessons? Besides, they only gave her an extra girl to teach because of her father. Wasn't it Third Aunt's tuition that paid for her?

"Mom, where are my paper, pen, inkstone and everything else? Have you prepared them?" Shen Wenjiao remembered that her mother didn't seem to let Wang Ma bring them back!
