Literary Heroes of the Republic of China

Some people in modern times don't understand why some novels about women cheating or pursuing love become world famous. It's because they know too little about this era.

In an environment where women are oppressed, writing about women pursuing love is actually quite a feat.

Many enlightenment novels on feminism are related to love.

Marriage autonomy is what many women have struggled for all their lives, and it is only slowly won by modern women.

Axiu in "Metamorphosis" disguises herself as a man to teach in school, and her life is very difficult. At the same time, no matter how much she dresses up, there are still flaws.

One of her colleagues discovered her secret.

This is a very gentle male teacher, he helps Axiu cover up, and also teaches Axiu to read.

Axiu studies hard and acquires all kinds of knowledge. At the same time, she also falls in love with the male teacher.

Axiu was married and had a child, but she didn't love her husband. Now that she is with this male teacher, she knows what love is.

She is always thinking about the other party, even if they look at each other inadvertently, it can make her happy for a long time.

And for the first time, she was valued and loved by others.

This male teacher would help Axiu carry books, would bring her a bowl of wontons when she was too busy to eat, and would stand up to speak for her when she was being targeted.

The two got closer and closer, but when Axiu fell in love with this male teacher, she was also very rational. She knew very well that she was inferior to this male teacher in every aspect.

But she didn't shrink back, didn't feel sorry for herself, but tried to make herself better.

She started to write articles to make money, and she started to learn English, making herself better and better little by little.

However, things couldn't be smooth sailing. The male teacher's family already had a wife, and his wife came here with a child from thousands of miles away.

Axiu is struck by lightning, she is reluctant to give up her love, but she clearly realizes that if she stays with the one she loves, she will hurt another woman.

At this moment, Axiu was glad that she didn't reveal the matter between herself and the male teacher—she decided to suppress her feelings.

And the male teacher was also struggling in pain.

On the other hand, the male teacher's wife didn't know anything, and only thought that Axiu was her husband's colleague. Seeing that Axiu was a "big man" living a difficult life with the child, she offered to help take care of the child.

Axiu is very grateful to her, and at the same time, she also finds that the male teacher's wife is the same person as her former lady.They are virtuous and kind, and regard their husbands as heaven, but because of this, they can't talk to their husbands.

Axiu gritted her teeth, and told the male teacher's wife that she was a woman. She said that after she lost her husband, she had no choice but to teach here, and asked the male teacher's wife to study with her.

The male teacher's wife was shocked. She felt that Axiu was deviant, and because of this, she realized that her husband had unusual feelings for Axiu. She was very angry and did not want to see Axiu again.

Axiu was disappointed, but she still found the male teacher's wife and had a long talk with her: "I know you are very guarded against me, afraid that I will take your husband away, but the more you are like this, the more you should make yourself stronger stand up."

"You can only keep up with your husband if you change yourself."

"Of course, you should become stronger not just to keep up with your husband's footsteps, but for yourself."

"When you are strong enough and have a strong mind, you don't even need to depend on your husband."

"Women should not worry about gains and losses for a man all their lives."

……

Axiu said a lot, but the male teacher's wife didn't agree with her. Some deeply ingrained opinions cannot be changed overnight.

Axiu, on the other hand, became more and more determined.

She vowed that she would never fall into such a situation in her whole life, and she was unwilling to be suspicious and guard against the women around her to snatch her husband away every day.

The male teacher's wife did not agree with Axiu's words, but she was very kind and did not do anything to Axiu.

She even started to make some changes and tried to learn, but unfortunately it was not an easy task. She had to do housework and take care of the children, so she didn't have much time to study.

When Axiu discovered this, she couldn't help sighing, but soon, she didn't have time to think about these things—her husband found her.This man is not doing well now. At first he tried to coax Axiu into giving him all the money he earned, but Axiu was unwilling. In his anger, he simply publicized the fact that Axiu is a woman. Come.

Ahxiu loses her school job and her novel is boycotted for being a woman, while her husband triumphantly takes her home.

With the help of a male teacher, Axiu escaped from her husband's clutches and reported for divorce. In the end, she went to another place by boat and decided to start over.

She finally told herself: "I don't know what my future will be. I just hope that I am free and that I belong to myself and not others."

Axiu's future is full of uncertainties, but she is persevering and has a strong heart. She has learned a lot of knowledge, and as long as there are no accidents, she can always live her life well.

This ending is actually different from what Mu Qiong thought at the beginning. At the beginning, he wanted to give Ah Xiu a happy love, but at the end of writing, he felt that women must rely on marriage to get happiness. The thing itself is pretty sad.

There are very few novels in this era with women as protagonists.

There are very few novels that analyze women's psychology in this way and write a woman's struggle history from a woman's perspective.

Not only that, compared with the previous novels, this novel is more respectful of women's self-improvement and self-reliance.

In a middle school for girls, a female student couldn't help but shed tears after watching "Metamorphosis".

Such a novel will really touch women too much.

"I really envy Axiu."

"If only I could marry someone I like."

"I originally planned to get married after graduation and not work, but now... Even if I get married, I should work."

"We need to make ourselves stronger, and don't pin all our happiness on men."

……

Some people feel this way, but most people really just watch the show.

"The teacher who likes Axiu is very nice, why isn't Axiu with him?"

"How can this story just disappear like this? It should continue to be written!"

"Axiu can find someone else who likes her."

……

For a while, there were all kinds of comments, and some people jumped up and down to criticize Mu Qiong.

But Mu Qiong didn't care about those at all.

It is impossible for his works to please everyone, and he has known this for a long time.

The boatman sent Mu Qiong and others to Shanghai, took the boat money, and left happily. Mu Qiong took Fang Tianfang and Fei Kangyu to the house Jiang Xinchun gave him, and let them live there temporarily.

After going out for a while, whether it is Mu Qiong or Fu Yun'an, there are many things to do.

So that night, Fu Yun'an went to deal with various affairs at hand, and as for Mu Qiong, he discussed with Huo Anni about running the school.

The classroom and dormitory building built by Mu Qiong is only four floors high, and the foundation needs to be laid, but it is by no means as troublesome as building a modern house. In addition, because he gave generous money and hired many workers, the house is almost built now .

However, the windows, doors, etc. have not been installed yet, but even so, it can be done in two months.

In other words, this summer, these three schools will be able to start enrolling students.

Mu Qiong was very satisfied with this progress. In order to be free to recruit students, he didn't even write a new book after the serialization of "Metamorphosis".

After time travel, he has been writing novels uninterruptedly. Even though he is young, he is a little tired. He wants to take a break.

"Tomorrow, I'll go to the construction site with you, and then we'll recruit some teachers and give them some training before recruiting students." Mu Qiong said to Huo Anni.

Huo Anni nodded: "It should be like this! Brother Mu, I know some people, I can ask for you to see if anyone is willing to be a teacher."

"Okay." Mu Qiong agreed.

Mu Qiong and Huo Anni were talking about things at the dining place where Fu Yun'an lived, and they were talking when Fu Huai'an came back.

As soon as Fu Huai'an saw Mu Qiong, his expression couldn't help but twisted a little.

"What's wrong with you?" Mu Qiong looked at Fu Huai'an amusedly.

Fu Huai'an wanted to say "nothing", but he didn't hold back: "Mu... Teacher Mu, what is your relationship with my third brother?"

"Partnership." Mu Qiong said.

"But both of you are men!" Fu Huai'an said.

"The beauty of Longyang has existed since ancient times." Mu Qiong said again.

Mu Qiong looked very calm, Fu Huai'an couldn't help being puzzled seeing Mu Qiong like this.

Is this common?Would he... make a big fuss?

"You are still young, and you don't know many things. You will know when you grow up." Mu Qiong patted Fu Huai'an on the shoulder.

Fu Huai'an immediately exploded: "I'm so young! I can get married at this age! My mother is already helping me find my match!"

Mu Qiong: "..." I'm only in junior high school, but I'm already looking for a partner...

Huo Anni: "..." Dad failed to force her to marry him, and he actually went after Fu Huai'an, that's amazing!

At the same time, the Huo family in Shanxi.

Huo Dashuai has been very busy these days, and went to fight with people.

He won this battle, not only that, but also got some good things, Marshal Huo was very happy.

After returning, he was even happier after seeing the letter sent from Shanghai.

This letter was sent to him by someone he arranged in Shanghai, and the letter said nothing but one thing——Huo Anni and Mu Qiong got very close.

The letter described in detail about Huo Anni and Mu Qiong running the school together, and also said that Mu Qiong and Huo Anni always went in and out together, and now in Shanghai, many people regard them as a couple.

Huo Dashuai smiled happily.

Marshal Huo had also heard about this Mu Qiong, and the first time he heard about it was from Fu Huai'an's letter.

When Fu Huai'an praised Mu Qiong in his letter, he had a very good impression of Mu Qiong - Mu Qiong didn't know Fu Huai'an's identity at the time, but he was still willing to teach Fu Huai'an carefully and let Fu Huai'an publish an article in the monthly education magazine , this is definitely a good guy!

Later, seeing that Mu Qiong wrote more and more books, his impression of Mu Qiong became even better.

Huo Dashuai himself has no culture, so what he likes most are people of culture.Of course, he only likes those educated people who have no airs, and those who look down on him because of their culture will go as far as they can!

Marshal Huo admired Mu Qiong very much, and he was thinking at the time that he could invite Mu Qiong to Shanxi to sit down and take a photo with Mu Qiong, but at that time, he hadn't thought about anything else.

Now, someone actually told him that Mu Qiong was very close to his daughter.

As expected of his daughter, she has really good eyesight!

This Mu Qiong is educated himself, and the head of the family is small, it is very simple, his daughter will marry, life must be easy!

Although when Huo Anni was in Shanxi before, Huo Dashuai clamored to recruit Huo Anni, but it was just talking, he has an excellent eldest son, and he has grandchildren, even if the second and third sons really want to die, There is no need for her daughter to recruit a man to come back and stand up for the family.

Of course, it would be nice if you could get a wife... If your daughter is kept under her nose, she won't be able to stand being bullied.

Thinking of this, Huo Dashuai took the letter to find Mrs. Huo.

When Mrs. Huo returned to China, Marshal Huo also went to sleep in Mrs. Huo's room, but every time he went, he broke up with his wife and gradually stopped going.

There are several concubines in his backyard, and when he goes outside, there are always beautiful young women serving him, so he is naturally unwilling to go to his wife to make him feel uncomfortable.

When Marshal Huo went to Mrs. Huo's place, Mrs. Huo had already gone to bed, but when she heard that Marshal Huo was coming, she immediately got up.

"Sir, you're here." Mrs. Huo looked at Dashuai Huo happily.

Mrs. Huo is in her 40s, and she already has many wrinkles on her face. However, Marshal Huo is in the military camp on weekdays, and he has seen ugly people. He doesn't care much about his wife's appearance, so he smiled at this moment: "Yes. Ah, here I am, I have good news for you."

"What good news?" Mrs. Huo asked.

"Xiaoxi talked to someone in Shanghai." Huo Dashuai said.

Mrs. Huo was not very happy, and asked about the details of Marshal Huo.

Huo Dashuai said immediately.

At this moment, if the people in front of Marshal Huo were his aunts and wives, they would definitely praise Mu Qiong according to Marshal Huo's wishes, but Mrs. Huo has never been someone who would please Marshal Huo: "That Mu Qiong's family background is not worthy of Annie?"

Huo Dashuai was taken aback, Mu Qiong's family was indeed not prominent, and now he doesn't even have a clan, but to be honest, he was born with mud legs, so Mu Qiong came from a scholarly family anyway.

Moreover, Mu Qiong can write books and is proficient in English and French, which is really not bad.

"How can Annie marry such a person? I think Annie really wants to marry, and she also wants to marry someone like Young Marshal Lin!" Madam Huo said again.

Huo Dashuai frowned immediately: "What nonsense are you talking about! Can that kid surnamed Lin marry?" Although Huo Dashuai has a lot of women, when it's his daughter's turn, he is unwilling to marry her For those philandering men.

What's more, these warlords, no matter how much they call themselves brothers on the surface, they are not very good in private, and they may start fighting anytime soon.

In this case, if you marry your daughter, isn't that causing trouble for yourself and letting your daughter jump into the fire pit?

"Why not? The two families are rightly matched..." Mrs. Huo said.

"The bullshit is the right family, Xiaoxi can't marry that kind of person."

"Do you look down on our mothers? Do you think Xiaoxi is not good enough for others?"

"Is it worthwhile for me to look down on my seed?"

"Then why do you want to marry Xiaoxi to someone who was kicked out by the family and has nothing?" Mrs. Huo was extremely wronged. Even if Mu Qiong is famous, even if he can make money writing novels, he can have tens of thousands of property. Their family is definitely incomparable. No matter what, she is unwilling to let her daughter live a hard life.

Huo Dashuai couldn't stand his wife like this, he was too lazy to talk to his wife, so he just said: "Anyway, if Annie likes it, it's settled!"

After he finished speaking, he left without looking back.

Seeing this, Mrs. Huo became anxious and hurried to catch up, but Marshal Huo was determined to leave, so how could he come back?

Huo Dashuai finally went to the youngest concubine's room, causing Mrs. Huo to drop several vases.

Huo Yong also heard some of this movement in the room.

"Mother is a little angry, should we go and have a look?" Huo Yong's wife said.

"No need." Huo Yong said, he also took care of it when he was a child, because his father had a concubine and made a lot of noise, but now it has stopped.

He just felt that it was troublesome for his father to make such a fuss.

If it were him, since he already had a wife, he would definitely not create trouble for himself with a few concubines.

A woman, she looks like that when she doesn't sleep much?

And if there is only one woman, they will definitely not lose their temper with him, so much trouble!

On the other side, in the courtyard where the second aunt who was once the most favored lived, the second aunt didn't sleep.

"Second Aunt, Ma'am is quarreling with the Commander again! She is so good at making troubles that the Commander and the children don't like her." A little girl next to the Second Concubine gloated.

She felt that the lady was a bit stupid.

The young marshal attaches great importance to the young lady, and she insists on finding trouble with the young lady. Everyone knows that the second young master is most jealous of others talking about his disability, and she always wants to bring it up, let alone the third young master. She always complains that the third young master is raised by others and doesn't kiss her...

"Shut up!" Second Aunt said: "You can arrange Ma'am?"

The maid suddenly didn't dare to speak.

The second aunt said again: "In fact, my wife is also a poor person. The more nobody pays attention to her, the more she loves to toss... But in this world, which woman is not pitiful? If you want to live a good life, you can only fight for it yourself." fight."

As the second aunt spoke, she turned her eyes to the Dazhong newspaper spread out in front of her. On it was the serialized "Metamorphosis".

Her son admired Lou Yuyu very much, so she took Lou Yuyu's article and read it again and again. After reading it, she felt suddenly enlightened.

Then he looked down on Marshal Huo a little bit.

She should take good care of her son!Her son has already written a book and published it at a young age, and he may be even better than that Lou Yuyu in the future!

And she is always better than Zhu Wanwan.

One night passed, and the next day, the sun rose as usual, and the Huo family was still noisy.

Huo Dashuai had breakfast, and suddenly learned that Lin Dashuai had sent him a telegram.

Okay, why did Marshal Lin send him a telegram?Huo Dashuai was a little puzzled, and immediately asked someone to bring it over.

"How close is Huo Sanshao accompanying Mu Qiong to Suzhou tomb-sweeping in the Qingming Dynasty?" Huo Dashuai looked at the telegram a little puzzled: "What does the surname Lin suddenly send me such a telegram? He can't write a few more words." ?” Although at this time many people sent a few words in order to save money, but they are not short of money!It's so endless, what the hell!

Huo Yong's hands froze.

Huo Dashuai said angrily again: "These bastards are really capable! It's fine if you don't come back after Qingming, and you will accompany others to visit the grave!"

Huo Yong: "..."

"By the way, Da Hai, I heard that your little sister is very close to that Mu Qiong, does she have a crush on Mu Qiong?" Marshal Huo asked again.

"..." Huo Yong: "Father, this is nothing."

"Really? Hasn't the news spread all over the place?" Huo Dashuai said.

"Really not." Huo Yong said: "Father, let's go to the study to discuss in detail."

Marshal Lin probably saw something when he sent the telegram.

Of course, even if they can see it, they won't do anything. This kind of thing is not a big deal.

It's just that other people have sent telegrams... He must communicate with his father about his third brother and Mu Qiong.
