pawn wife

Dong Li was surprised, "Xiao Tao, why do you think so?" This idea was too rebellious, and her eyes were full of disapproval.

Xiaotao smiled indifferently, "Last year, someone brought the skin and meat business to the market in front of our workshop. How many men from our workshop have visited? When they came to the workshop, they were reprimanded by Xie Baye, so they didn't dare to make trouble in the workshop. Later, Mrs. Chang found out about it, and ordered to expel those shameless things, and they were not allowed to do anything at the entrance of the workshop. Business, this unhealthy trend is barely stopped."

Then she smiled sarcastically, "Do you think you can really stop? I heard that they are now wandering around the villages looking for business. Many women in the workshops are sad when they come to work, and some people complain that how much money they make is not enough for the men at home. Carefree, some are even worse, preventing a man from being beaten once, tsk tsk, I feel sorry for her when I see it, so what good do you say about getting married? You are being manipulated everywhere, and you can't even keep your hard-earned money live."

The more she saw, the less hopeful she was about the marriage. Of course, she gained a foothold in the workshop by virtue of her ability, and she was free. There were many people who were interested in her, and even many matchmakers came to her to be matchmakers. But she refused all of them.

Dongli also felt a little panic when he heard that, marrying an inappropriate person can kill someone, but, "It's unrealistic not to marry for a lifetime. In the future, when we die, we will all be lonely souls without a master. Offer incense." Thinking about it is scary.

Xiaotao raised her eyebrows and looked at Dongli, who was always smarter than her, "Sister Dongli, it's strange to be silent, and Mrs. Chang also said that you can't believe these ghosts and gods. Why do you still believe it?"

When Xiaotao said this, Dong Li's face turned red, "That's what I said, after all, everyone said that."

"Whether there are ghosts after death or not? Have you seen ghosts or have I seen them? None of us have seen them, but everyone is keen to say so, but no one has seen them?" Xiaotao said on this issue. Her position is very firm, and no one can use this set to pinpoint her.

Dongli couldn't say anything to Xiaotao on this issue, so he gave her another cup of scented tea, and calmed down. She used to have a sense of superiority in front of Xiaotao, but now she found that she was living more and more, and sighed , "Then you decided not to marry?"

"Who says not to marry?"

"Then you still say that?"

Dongli was a little unhappy, thinking that Xiaotao was just perfunctory her.

Xiaotao leaned on her elbow and looked at Dongli on the opposite side, "Marry when you meet a good one. Mrs. Chang said that there are good men in this world. If you meet one, grab it. If you don't meet one, don't be in a hurry. You can't be in a hurry." Yes, Sister Dongli, if you are in a hurry, your mind will be confused, and your eyes will go black when you are confused, how can you find a good man?"

Sisters, she still wants to wake up Dongli, and can't be led by the nose by public opinion, we have to have our own opinions.

Dongli hit her head with such a stick, and only now did she realize that she was looking good. If she hadn't had such a chat with Xiaotao, she would have been cornered. Thinking of what would happen if she married an inappropriate person, she shuddered all over her body. , that day is probably worse than death.

While Xiaotao was still thinking about how to persuade Dongli, Dongli grabbed Xiaotao's hand and said gratefully, "Xiaotao, thank you, after hearing what you said, I suddenly realized that I was wrong before."

"Ah, think about it, that's good." Xiaotao was really happy for Dongli.

Although Dong Li's parents now regard her as a cash cow, but with Mrs. Chang around, her parents would not dare to go too far, at least they would not dare to accept the dowry indiscriminately and promise their daughter out, otherwise Mrs. Chang's temperament would definitely make them Drink a jug.

After separating from Xiaotao, Dongli ran to find Chang Xi, and didn't bother to let Caifeng pass the news, so she pushed away Chang Xi's office, ignoring the other people in the office, she panted and said, " Miss Chang, I agree to go to the newly built spinning workshop."

Chang Xi was a little taken aback, he was hesitant before, why did he change his mind in the blink of an eye?But she wasn't entangled in this issue. Seeing that she had figured it out, she nodded and said, "Okay, I see."

Only then did Dongli realize that Xie Ming and Fang Guanshi were also there, and his face was full of embarrassment, "Then, then I'll go back to work first." After speaking, before Chang Xi could speak, he rarely ran away.

In the end, Steward Fang said with a smile, "Young people are full of energy." Then he half-jokingly said, "The girls under Mrs. Chang's subordinates are all very capable, which I really admire. Wake up laughing."

Xie Ming glanced sideways at Fang Guanshi, there was something in his words, obviously he was trying to test Chang Xi's attitude and wanted to protect the media, but he was not the one who should protect the media, after all, Fang Guanshi himself was not young.

Chang Xi spread his hands towards Steward Fang and said, "I won't interfere in their marriage, as long as they like it, but the premise is that they are a good boy, if anyone wants to cheat them, I won't obey."

Be obedient and listen to the sound, the last word is the key point, Fang Guanshi knew it in his heart, he immediately laughed and echoed a few words, and there was no more to say.

I wanted to get a matchmaker for my nephew, but my nephew is too mediocre and I can't do anything, that's all, don't anger Chang Xi because of this, otherwise I will definitely not have good fruit for myself.

Afterwards, Chang Xi found out about the conversation between Dongli and Xiaotao. She didn't expect Xiaotao to grow faster than Dongli now, but she thought that Dongli had a native family, and that environment would affect her to some extent, so she didn't think that she would grow up faster than Dongli. Strange.

And Xiaotao was sold to Jiefu when she was very young. Instead, she was not influenced by her native family. She was more concerned about herself.

So as soon as they left the big environment of Jiefu, there was a clear difference in the growth of the two people's moods.

Because of this, she thought that there were too many women in the workshop, especially in the spinning workshop, where unmarried women accounted for a large proportion. A lesson should be taught to let them establish a correct view of marriage and values. Of course, radical remarks cannot be made. But some of the current dross can be eliminated.

For this reason, she specially asked the well-connected Bai family to find some female teachers with a good reputation, decent style and not pedantic, and asked them to teach this class.

The school at the workshop is actually very famous in Yiyang City. After all, the classes are attended by a group of mud-legged people who can’t read big characters. Many famous masters don’t bother to come to this class. Most of the masters failed to pass the entrance examination and were forced to teach literacy due to the pressure of life.

It's impossible to talk about this with these people, and it will cause a lifetime of trouble.

It didn't take long for Bai's family to find a young female wife.

As soon as we met, this hearty female wife smiled at Chang Xi, "I came here for the name, I didn't expect Mrs. Chang to be such a lady. I agree with your thoughts very much. Our girl's family can't be raped by men. That set of theories led me by the nose..."

Chang Xi greeted each other with a smile, but after the conversation, she politely declined the female wife's self-recommendation. Afterwards, she and Bai said, "The remarks are too radical. We are still in the initial stage, and there is no need to attract all parties. verbal criticism."

And it's not a good thing to instill radical speech into the minds of young girls.

After Mrs. Bai understood Chang Xi's request, the female wife she found was much more peaceful. Of course, she also had her own views on marriage and did not follow the crowd, so Chang Xi nodded.

Not long after that, all unmarried women in the workshop had to attend the marriage class, which made the unmarried women blush when they heard the name of the class, but this is the rule of the workshop, and they have to attend the class no matter how shy they are , As for those who are married, they can choose to listen or not. Of course, those who choose to listen to the class will get extra points. Now everyone flocks to listen to this new class.

Chang Xi went to listen to the first class. According to later generations, the female teacher’s remarks are still old-fashioned at first, but they are all private goods when she thinks carefully. She cleverly explained the correct concept of marriage bit by bit. It was transmitted out in a timely manner, and the words were humorous and interesting, which made everyone think deeply after laughing.

"This person has some skills, and her salary is equal to that of those male husbands."

Mrs. Bo said worriedly, "Equal pay for equal work, what if those male masters find out and start a fight?"

Chang Xi said coldly, "Then fire them and hire them again."

The salary she gave was generous, and she didn't believe that these people would be willing to give up this job. You must know that even if you are not a child, it is difficult to find a decent job outside with the ink in your stomach.

Only then did Bai's worries dispel, and he followed what Chang Xi said.

Sure enough, those male masters really started to make a fuss. They felt that Chang Xi's behavior was insulting to the gentlemen. They were only teaching mud-legged people, and they also taught women how to read. They already felt that they had been wronged, and now they came Female wives are equal to them, why?
"Just because she has as much ink in her belly as you do." Chang Xi responded directly, "Here, knowledge is power, otherwise why would I invite you to teach?"

The men were speechless for a moment, after all, after listening to the lady's class, they could tell that she was very good at quoting scriptures, some of them had never even heard of it, the ink in their stomachs was indeed inferior to hers, and at the same time, she was not as strong Chang Xi, then he can only pinch his nose and admit this.

But this matter still attracted the attention of some scholars in Yiyang City. They began to write articles to criticize this matter, thinking that women should obey the three virtues and act according to the "Women's Commandments", and they should not have their own thoughts, otherwise the world will be in chaos. In short, it is very sensational .

With the support of Chang Xi, the female teacher also wrote articles to fight back, but her articles were the same as her lectures, with beautiful rhetoric and strong readability.

Master Xie Si is the head of the Datong Academy. After reading the female master's counterattack article, he couldn't help admiring a few words, and finally said, "Women can read and write, although they can't get into official positions through scientific examinations, they can benefit future generations. This is a good deed.”

Now the voice of criticism gradually dissipated, but the women's wife's class unexpectedly became popular. The women in the workshop went to the class whenever they had free time. Many people gradually had their own opinions on marriage, and no longer let their parents marry at will.

Of course, the word filial piety is still on the head, but Yamen is not a place that everyone wants to visit. There are not many people who really sue their children for being unfilial. In the end, they can only sulk if they can’t handle their daughters, but that’s for another story .

A new chapter will be added around twelve noon.
