[Gone with the Wind] Miss Margot

Although the marriages of the older three sisters of the O'Hara family are more or less facing a crisis, the outside affairs are still rolling forward according to a fixed route.Just as Margo guessed, from the end of May, returning Southern soldiers began to appear in Atlanta one after another.

The South surrendered, Lincoln was assassinated and died, and the successor President Johnson really issued an order for the release of the southern prisoners. These soldiers of the Confederate government were finally going home.Like the blacks who fled to Barton Manor and Rose Manor during the war, these southern soldiers walked back slowly along the railway, and most of those who could walk home were healthy people with sound limbs.

That's right, disabled people can't walk fast.

Ashley, George and Charles both have healthy limbs, and because someone took care of them secretly, the three of them didn't suffer too much in Rock Island. Therefore, they came back smoothly...

Uh, maybe the word Shun Shun Li should not be said.Ashley and George were better. Not only were they older, they liked to read, and they were both good thinkers.And both of them are very aware of Margot's ability, so the acceptance is pretty good.On the contrary, Charles, in essence, even though Charles is married, he is still a big boy-his maturity is because he matured because of Scarlett's bad temper after he married Scarlett, and It's not really the maturity after experiencing the storm-so the closer to Atlanta, the more he feels the prestige of Margot and Suellen, the more dreamy Charles feels.

Along the way, he kept saying this:

"Oh, did I hear you right? It's just like the legend. Margot and Suellen became the lords of Atlanta, and most of Atlanta is their land! Oh, this is too exaggerated!"

"What? Margot and Suellen turned out to be the main doctors in Atlanta Hospital?"

"What? Fire on Peachtree Street? The red brick house of the Hamilton house across from the Clark house lost a floor? What about the Clark house? What? The Clark house had iron bars embedded in the roof so only part of the decorative wall was destroyed The soldier who fired at the spire of Clark's house was punished?"

Charles Hamilton, Ashley Wilkes, and George Clark became more concerned when they heard that Peachtree Street had also been shelled.

Among other things, the wives of Charles and Ashley are both in the red brick house, and Ashley is better. After all, Melanie was not pregnant when he left, so he only needs to worry about his wife. But Charles also worried about his son Wade Jr.

As for George, he had no doubts about his wife's ability. He even knew that a large part of the special treatment he received in Rock Island was due to his wife.At this moment, hearing that Clark's house was almost under fire from the war, he wished he could grow wings like an angel and fly to his wife and son immediately.

Then, in suburban Atlanta, they heard about Frank's affair.

Although the matter has passed for almost a month, the matter has not stopped. After all, consultation is not available in this era, and most black people have no education, and most of them are illiterate. The way they can get consultation is oral According to word of mouth, in addition to housing funds, marriage funds, childbirth funds and other benefits that Margot is willing to provide them, what they care about is all kinds of gossip.

Naturally, as one of the two kindest wives in Atlanta, Suellen's marriage received a great deal of attention.

A lot of people, especially black people, say things like, "I hear Mrs. Kennedy and Mr. Kennedy have separated."

"Are they going to get a divorce?"

"How is it possible? Southern traditions do not allow divorce."

"Then Mrs. Kennedy is going to be abandoned? It's really pitiful. Such a good wife."

Someone said: "If Mrs. Kennedy is abandoned, will Mr. Kennedy continue to give us such high benefits?"

"This, this, it should be."

People who say this don't have much confidence.

"Think about it, how many years has the Rose Manor been in the hands of Mr. Kennedy, has Mr. Kennedy given such benefits to the black people below?"

"Then what do you mean?"

"We should fight for Mrs. Kennedy's rights! That's right, that's it! We should support Mrs. Kennedy's divorce from Mr. Kennedy instead of allowing Mrs. Kennedy to be abandoned! That's not fair to Mrs. Kennedy! Moreover, the rose estate is in the hands of Mr. Kennedy It was only a little bit big at the time, but now, more than half of Jonesboro, and almost 30.00% of Atlanta’s industry, these are all managed by Mrs. Kennedy in the past few years. I think it should be owned by Mrs. Kennedy. And derailed It is Mr. Kennedy who should compensate Mrs. Kennedy. Mrs. Kennedy also gave birth to a young master. In view of Mr. Kennedy’s behavior of betraying his wife, he must be an irresponsible person and not suitable for raising children, so the child should belong to Mrs. Kennedy, In addition, Mr. Kennedy should recognize the child's inheritance rights, and pay child support and education fees..."

The black man who said this must be a person with a very flexible mind, and his views were quickly accepted by the people around him, leaving Ashley and the others stunned.

It was the first time for the three of them to hear about this scandal, and they were all stunned.

Charles couldn't accept this.

"How is that possible? Frank, I mean, Mr. Kennedy is a gentleman..."

The black man immediately said: "Sir, he may be a gentleman in other places, but he is a bit cruel to his wife. I know a black man who used to be a manservant in Clayton County. It is said that Mr. Kennedy and Kennedy When wives are dating, they still don’t forget to flatter other women..."

Neither Charles Ashley nor George spoke.Although Ashley was busy getting in touch with his fiancée at the time, both Charles and George were involved. George saw Frank Kennedy abandon his girlfriend who had been dating for a long time to flatter Scarlett, and Charles remembered it very well. Clearly, Frank was one of the men he was competing with in front of Scarlett at the time.

In the end, Scarlet chose himself, and Charles was always very proud, because he won the other six men.

But thinking about it now, what a disservice it was for Frank to flirt with Scarlett while being with Suellen!

Scarlett was Suellen's own sister!

How cruel Frank was to Suellen!
