Chapter 214
The woman remained silent for a few seconds and then shook her head decisively.
"I want the entire central region to witness this, since I've chosen to go live, I won't worry about how many people see me in my dire state."
"My parents, my cruel mother-in-law, my unreasonable in-laws, even if they ridicule me, I won't hear it, I'll let them laugh."
"All I want is for my daughter to get well, and then we can go live in Wencheng together."
"I'll take care of my daughter, watch her grow up into an adult!"
"I do not intend to stay in this town. My final destination is Wencheng. So, Miss Gu, please help me go live to the entire central region."
Gu Sang opened her mouth slightly, amazed at the woman's clarity.
She suddenly felt that her endeavor to go live to the past was entirely worthwhile.
To be able to change the fate of so many people!
To have an accepting and equal Wencheng.
It might not be mature yet, but it's enough, enough for these women who dare not step into the realm of freedom, to take the bravest step!
"Alright, think carefully about what you want to say tomorrow. It's getting late today, make sure to rest well."
The woman nodded firmly, her gaze fixed on the disappearing screen.
She once cared so much about her reputation, for the sake of being a 'good wife', for praises from her husband and mother-in-law, she gave up everything.
Before her marriage, her mother told her that marrying well, having children, keeping her husband happy, were the best — that all honor rested on her husband's shoulders.
But, at the end of it all, she realized that happiness is not something given by a man.
The woman placed her hand on her daughter Niu Niu's forehead with anxiety and anticipation, trying to soothe her fever, "Niu Niu, we just need to make it through tonight."
"I believe in Miss Gu, and I also believe that there are many women like me in the world, with no other choice."
"I believe that people will empathize!"
The next day.
Gu Sang woke up early in the morning. When she started the live broadcast, it was already noon on the other side, when the sun was scorching hot. for new novels
Once the live broadcast began, numerous people spotted the sky and hurriedly left their homes to take a better look.
Street vendors occasionally looked up at the sky, and then back at their goods.
Farmers working in the fields glanced up once, and then returned to their work.
After all, the voice from the sky was so loud, they could hear it just fine.
Only the children had the leisure to make noise while looking up at the sky.
"This isn't like modern times. How can a woman who's been divorced get married again!"
At the moment when parents were indifferent and even showed disgust to their own daughter...
The woman began to speak.
She first spoke about following her parents’ orders to get married, then about the time her eldest daughter was abandoned by her mother-in-law.
Hearing this, the mother-in-law immediately yelled from beneath the celestial screen:
"You shameless fox, keep on talking and I'll tear your mouth apart."
"You gave birth to a daughter first, clearly you didn’t want her, asked me to find her a good family, and now you accuse me?"
Others in the village, with neutral faces, advised: "Forget it, calm down, teach her a good lesson when she comes back."
People in the village have more or less done similar things.
In these times birth control was unheard of.
You gave birth and raised them. If they didn't survive, they died.
Especially for daughters, too many were given away or drowned at birth.
Seeing the neighbors on her side, the mother-in-law immediately cried:
"Why did I let a woman like this into my family, and now she's left with another man."
People comforted her with understanding, but whether there was schadenfreude in this comfort was unknown.
In any case, the woman couldn’t hear these false accusations.
The woman quickly got to the topic, the day she took her daughter and left.
Some women, who were originally thinking the same thing, when they heard that the woman dared to take her child and leave alone without her parents' support...
Didn't she fear to meet bad people?
Didn't she fear...
When the women admired and longed for the woman to live better with her children than before, the woman’s topic took a dramatic turn.
Living on the streets with her child, struggling to keep them both fed.
No one would hire her because of her child.
Her child fell ill...
As the story unfolded, many women silently dabbed at their tears.
From the woman's tales, they could foresee the terrible circumstances they would face if they dared to leave their paternal homes.
