[Gone with the Wind] Miss Margot

Margo looked at her sister, then at her sister, and decided to divert Scarlett's attention.

The South lost so many outstanding young men in the war, that every family in the South had unmarried girls, some lost their fiancés in the war, and some lost their sweethearts in the war. Karin was not the first one. Not the last one.Moreover, as an older sister, Marge doesn't mind raising her younger sister for the rest of her life, not to mention that Karin's quality is not low, so she can work to support herself.

In Marg's view, working as an accountant, assistant, and secretary in banks and foundations is completely difficult for Karin.

Scarlett said: "I really didn't expect that Mom and Dad would agree..."

Karin's eyes immediately became subtle: "Agree to what?"

"Of course it's to replace Suellen and work with us." This is actually the most puzzling part of Scarlett.Scarlett knows how many constraints unmarried girls have in this society.She even knew that if Margot hadn't chosen a flash marriage and quickly married George Clark to become Mrs. Clark, Margot would never have had the chance to grow up to this point, let alone become a big man who influences the fate of the entire South!

Karin said: "The times are different! Scarlett! Parents are always going to grow old, and one day we will have to face this world by ourselves. In this war, how many families have all their sons died? What if Don't let the girls go to work, who will take care of them after their parents die? Marg's proposal to put women in the work and give women the right to vote is helping women! Don't look at Mrs. Whiting and they keep saying this It's against tradition, but in fact, as long as there are daughters in the family, there are really few objections."

This is what Karin appreciates most about Margot and Suellen.She knew that if the two sisters hadn't insisted and personally lobbied those old-fashioned people, she would not be able to sit here today.

It's not that Karin doesn't appreciate Scarlett. Scarlett is responsible for the step-by-step implementation of this proposal. It's just that Scarlett's temper is too bad. The comments are not high, if Scarlett is allowed to lobby those wives, the effect may be counterproductive.

By the way, Karin is now Suellen's secretary, and now that Suellen is on maternity leave, Karin takes over her job, with Marg looking after her.

Scarlett muttered, "Those old-fashioned ones!"

Scarlett obviously also thought of her few lobbying efforts, almost all of which ended in failure, and the only two successes were also because of Melanie's presence and helping to speak good words.

This is where Scarlett is most depressed.She hates Melanie!Hate it all the time!So Melanie's maintenance of her is a great shame to her!Unexpectedly, Melanie herself can't feel it!

Scarlett knew that Melanie believed that she was her sister-in-law from the bottom of her heart, so she defended her everywhere.But Scarlett was just unhappy!

However, Margot still didn't open any pot, and said to her, "Scarlett, dear, I think you need a secretary too. What do you think of Melanie?"

Scarlett almost jumped up. "Why her? Margot? You have more work? You need a secretary more, don't you?"

Margot said: "But I think you and Melanie are a perfect match. One is strong and the other is soft. If you work together, you will definitely get twice the result with half the effort."

Scarlett flatly refused: "Forget it. That little thing! She is more suitable to be a housewife at home!"

Margot said: "Oh, Scarlett, Melanie is a good girl, it's not very polite of you to say that."

"Of course, of course, she is a good girl, a model of a lady in the old days, with a heart of gold," Scarlett shrugged, and said, "I have heard these many times. But you have to admit, with them This kind of person is more suitable for families."

Karin suddenly said: "Scarlett, mother is also a role model for the older generation. However, I don't think mother is more suitable for the family. I think it is because the family needs them more that they stay at home. Scarlett, you're spoiled by Melanie!"

Spoiled by Melanie!

These are words that Scarlett absolutely cannot accept. For the rest of this afternoon tea, Scarlett used an extremely firm attitude and expressed in countless firm words that she definitely paid more at Hamilton's house.

Karin listened, nodding from time to time, but looking back, she still said: "I think in the Hamilton family, Scarlett is the father and Melanie is the mother. As for Charles and Aunt Pittpat, they and Xiao Wei Like Bo, they are all babies."

It's almost impossible to look directly at it!

Scarlett was furious, but that night, when she finished her day's work and returned to the red brick house of Hamilton's house, she saw Melanie standing at the door smiling and welcoming her, and looking at her eagerly at the entrance. Her Charles, Aunt Pittpat and her son Beau, she suddenly felt that Karin really hit the nail on the head!

How can it be broken if the sense of sight is too strong!

She dare not look directly at this house!

For the first time, Scarlett was having a fit.And it’s different from the past. In the past, Scarlet’s temper was definitely like a storm, sweeping the entire Hamilton family, spraying everyone in the Hamilton family like quail in a storm, and even Charles had to hide outside. go.

But this time, Scarlett didn't get angry, but just looked at everyone at the Hamilton family's dinner table with very strange eyes.

This time, Melanie was still the first to discover that something was wrong with Scarlett, and Charles was the second.

Charles thought that Scarlett was worried about the relocation of the Peachtree District, and even said publicly: "Scarlett, is there a problem with Mrs. Clark's cash flow? If there is a problem, we can wait, no If necessary, we will move this year.”

Seeing such an innocent Charles, Scarlett rolled his eyes.Eventually, though, she decided to tell her husband the truth:

"Don't worry, Peachtree Street is close to the train station. Margot has said long ago that the housing prices in this kind of transportation hub will never fall. It's just that it's not suitable for living. The pollution is too serious. For the sake of everyone's quality of life, we have to relocate It’s for sure, everyone can still use the money in their hands, and they will have money in whatever they invest in in the future.”

rich?

Aunt Pittpat was most concerned about this, and even Uncle Peter, the old Negro housekeeper of the Hamiltons, pricked up his ears.
