Chapter 285: An Age Where Everything Is Possible
Chapter 285: An Age Where Everything Is Possible
"For example, my parents support me in my divorce, I can intervene in my family's business as I please, and I can go home as a matter of course after the divorce without having to look at anyone's face."
"Although my parents always say that they didn't give me a brother, so I was bullied."
Zhao Wan looked at Su Yan and smiled bitterly, "But sometimes I am really grateful to my parents for not giving me a brother. Only without a brother, my mother's family is my home."
"Only then can I be treated as the heir at home, be carefully nurtured by my family, and exercise my rights as an heir."
"These are things that girls with brothers at home can never ask for in their lifetime."
Su Yan was silent, looking at Zhao Wan with heartache, not knowing what to say to comfort her.
She awakened to ideas that did not belong to this era, but she still had to watch women like her continue to sink in the vortex.
"Hey? Why am I crying?" Zhao Wan wiped her face unexpectedly, only to realize that her tears had fallen without her noticing.
"Actually, I didn't want to cry." She continued, wiping her tears.
"Why should I cry? I'm already so lucky."
But the tears couldn't stop falling, dripping, one after another, and could not be wiped away.
"I've been so...lucky."
Su Yan stood up, walked silently behind her and hugged her, without saying anything or comforting her.
Just holding her in silence.
Zhao Wan seemed to be unable to hold back any longer and burst into tears, "You... you know? I... I originally... just wanted to see... what would happen to He Jiu."
"Seeing...he got...his retribution, I am...very happy...very happy, but...but...you know what?"
“It’s… so scary… so scary… so scary…”
Zhao Wan murmured "How terrible" for a long time and was unable to continue.
She lay in Su Yan's arms with lifeless eyes, and stopped crying. She just stared aimlessly at a spot on the floor, not knowing what she was thinking.
Su Yan didn't disturb her, but just patted her back to comfort her.
After an unknown amount of time, a muffled voice came from Su Yan's arms.
"She has a brother who came to support her and took away part of the He family's property."
Su Yan knew who she was.
"But these should have been given to her. She is the victim. She married into such a family, met such a person, and was harmed to have a premature birth."
"She has to continue to live in this hell for the rest of her life. This should be compensation for her. Do you understand, Yanyan? She is the one who is suffering."
Zhao Wan was already a little excited by the end of her speech, and she grabbed Su Yan's hand tightly, leaving a mark.
"I know, I know..." Su Yan ignored the pain in his hand and continued to pat her back with his other hand.
Zhao Wan: "But...but...do you know how ridiculous this is? In the end, her brother took half of the compensation!"
"That should have been her support! That's her family! That's her brothers and her parents!"
"In the end, he actually took away half of what she exchanged for with her blood and flesh. How is this...how is this...what's the difference between this and sucking my sister's blood?"
"And they were the ones who didn't support the divorce in the end. Everyone tried to persuade Qian Ru to hold back and think about the child, even her most trusted family members."
"You know what? I feel like everyone thinks she's not a person, but just... just an object."
"She has to consider her family's reputation, her children, and her husband's family, but she can't consider herself."
"In the end, the He family, which did not suffer, suppressed the matter, and the Qian family, which did not suffer, got the property."
"Qian Ru, the only one who suffered, has to continue to suffer in the He family for the sake of her children."
Su Yan: “…” She continued to move her hands, but she could no longer utter a word.
She was also a little crazy and missed modern life more than ever.
Although there were people who favored boys over girls in that era, most people were good people.
And everyone can go out and get the due rewards through their own efforts.
"I figured it out." Su Yan said.
Zhao Wan, who was still immersed in her thoughts, looked up in confusion and asked with tears in her eyes, "What?"
Su Yan looked at her and asked, "What should I write in my next book?"
Zhao Wan: “Hmm?”
Su Yan: "I want to write about people being able to go up to the sky, into the ground, and into the sea, about skyscrapers rising from the ground, about mobile phones transmitting sound over thousands of miles, about video calls breaking the distance between people, about men and women having equal rights to education, I want to write..."
“I want to write about a great era!”
As Zhao Wan listened, she sat up straight.
I listened to Su Yan's words in disbelief, but it seemed as if I could see a completely different world through her words.
That belongs to everyone.
A world where men and women stand together and fight side by side, rather than one being an assistant to whom or a vassal to whom.
"Is there really such a world?" Zhao Wan stared at her with wide eyes, looking at her in disbelief.
But her eyes were sparkling, not a look of doubt, but a look of affirmation.
Su Yan nodded vigorously, "It will definitely happen. After hundreds or thousands of years, after the baptism of blood and tears, everyone will stand on the same starting line again."
"At that time, it didn't matter what one's status was, it didn't matter what one's gender was, it was only about ability. The capable ones would rise to the top and the mediocre ones would fall to the bottom, that's all."
Zhao Wan murmured, "...What kind of era would that be."
Su Yan: "A time when... everything is possible!"
Su Yan: "By the way, you can also try to write."
Zhao Wan was confused. "Me? What should I write?"
Su Yan: "Just write about your era, and the foolish filial piety of this era."
Father Su would rather let his wife and children suffer in order to be filial to his parents and be friendly to his brothers.
"Write about the fatherly and motherly love of this era."
Zhao's parents were determined to pull their daughter out of the fire pit despite being ridiculed by the upper class people in the entire county.
"Write about the righteousness of this era."
Dao Er, with his own efforts, provides so many brothers with a relatively stable life.
"You can also write about some biased parents in this era."
He An's parents and He Chunsheng's parents used the blood of one son to feed the other.
“Finally, I must write about the marginalized little people and women trapped by this era.
The people who are busy all their lives just to survive and the women of this era who are struggling to make a living.
Su Yan smiled and said, "Perhaps, thousands of years from now, historians can rely on your book to understand this era."
"In this way, these unknown people and neglected women who lived in this era may be able to leave their own marks in the long river of history."
Zhao Wan was silent for a while, as if thinking about something. After a while, she raised her head and said firmly, "I'll write it!"
