Chapter 213: The Agreement

Chapter 213

Elder Princess and Gu Sang agreed to meet in ancient times on the day of the city attack.

With that, their call ended.

Gu Sang looked outside and saw that night had fallen. She got up to prepare dinner.

The mission was complete, and the system had revived her grandmother, saying they could meet soon. But there had been no movement yet, which left Gu Sang feeling concerned.

As Gu Sang was cooking and lost in thought:

"Ding!"

"Connection established!"

The next second, a virtual screen appeared floating half a meter in front of her.

Gu Sang looked up. On the screen was a dilapidated room, the faint glow casting a greenish light on two faces.

At first glance, it made Gu Sang's heart skip a beat.

Looking closer, she could see that she was connected to a mother and daughter, huddled in the darkness. The only light source was the faint glow from the screen.

The woman placed her daughter on the ground and knelt down to Gu Sang, her expression urgent and excited.

"Goddess... no, Miss Gu, you really answered our prayers. I thought my daughter and I would die here."

"Thank goodness, Miss Gu. Did heaven send you to save my daughter?"

Since leaving her ex-husband's home, the woman had learned much about the Divine Lady known as Miss Gu, who was high above and unreachable.

Using this form of address made her feel closer.

Seeing the mother and daughter with tears in their eyes, Gu Sang stopped chopping vegetables. She washed her hands and asked, "What happened?"

The woman choked up as she spoke: "Miss Gu, after watching your livestream, I could no longer tolerate the mockery from my in-laws."

"What I can't forgive is that when I gave birth to my eldest daughter, they took advantage of my postpartum confinement and abandoned her."

"I usually endured as much as I could, but they often cursed me as a hen that couldn't lay eggs, and they beat and scolded my younger daughter."

"After seeing the little girls from the future, my heart became resolute. I wanted to take my daughter and leave them."

"But I think I oversimplified everything. I thought that as long as I had hands and feet to work, we wouldn't starve. But when potential employers saw I had a daughter, their attitudes changed completely. They wouldn't give me any work opportunities."

A divorced woman was so shameful!

But... deep down, another frightening thought emerged.

What if?

What if many women also wanted to escape such terrible marriages? What if it was just that no one had ever tried before, so they were unwilling to see others attempt it?

Having seemingly made a decision, determination flashed in the woman's eyes. She nodded eagerly: "Yes, I'm willing. For my daughter's future, I'll do it."

"Miss Gu, you're right. Many women don't dare to take this step, but I have!"

"I'm willing to be the first to change all of this!"

"If married women can hear my story and no longer endure in silence as before, I want to tell them that if they're beaten and cursed at home every day, driven to suicide by jumping in the river, they should have the courage to take this step instead."

"After seeing life in the future, I suddenly understood. Rather than living in a daze waiting to die, being beaten, cursed, and humiliated, it's better to take a gamble. Between a lifetime of suffering worse than death and a slim chance of survival, I choose that slim chance!"

"I also want to tell unmarried women to keep their eyes open before marriage. Don't let your parents make all the decisions. Sometimes you need to have your own opinions, or else it will be a lifelong tragedy."

"My ex-husband never gave me happiness. He only brought me suffering!"

Gu Sang's face showed a gratified expression, her eyes softening.

This was wonderful!

Women were finally rising up!

They truly were the most lovable people!

Whether they were young girls or mature women, deep down they were always kind-hearted, struggling upwards, always striving for change.

Giving their all just to shine!

Not like that overconfident man of high status, who just sat waiting for Gu Sang to come up with solutions while he hoped to reap the benefits.

Gu Sang knew it was embarrassing to share one's shameful past with others, but this woman had agreed. Although it was to save her daughter and ensure their future survival.

Still, the woman's actions filled Gu Sang with respect. A woman who could bend and stretch would surely have a better life in the future.

Gu Sang nodded encouragingly:

"Then I can help you choose a few towns, or broadcast to all of central China. If you need to continue living in this town, shall I help you choose this town?"
