Chapter 2846 Unravel
In Xiangling Book Apartment, she persisted very hard.
The sisters around started planning very early on how to climb up to a high-ranking official in the future, strive to be their concubine, exchange skills on how to please men, how to get along with future big women, and so on.
For all of this, Pan Suyi instinctively disliked it. Just imagining that she was embraced by a man in his fifties or sixties with a pot belly and a disgusting smile, she felt nauseated. If the future is always like this, She might as well be dead.
It's just that her morality made her have to admit that it was because of the existence of Xiangling Shuyu that she survived in this troubled world, wore silk and satin, and lived a life of rich clothes and fine food.
So Pan Suyi was extremely contradictory. Previously, such thoughts had been piled up in her heart. She didn't speak out until she met Li Yun.
"Su Yi, your thinking like this is wrong." Li Yun smiled slightly.
"... Su Yi is willing to listen to the young master's words."
Pan Suyi's beautiful eyes wandered around, waiting expectantly for his solution.
"How old were you when you signed the contract of sale?"
"Six years old, I just remembered something."
"That's right, many people have long forgotten their memories of when they were six years old and just entered elementary school. For a child, the so-called contract of sale was signed voluntarily even for you at the time, but this voluntary , is based on mental insufficiency and inability to obtain the items needed to survive, and is not really completely voluntary."
Pan Suyi tried her best to understand what the young master said.
primary school? Is it a private school?
Ten years ago, girls didn't go to private schools, but now there are some girls' schools.
"What the young master said...is different from what I imagined."
Pan Suyi said very seriously: "Young master, what you mean is that as children, we can't freely choose whether to sell ourselves or not, so the contract of sale cannot be established? But... the government also recognizes the contract of sale."
"Government? The Qing Dynasty has perished."
Li Yun shook his head, "In the words of progressive youths, the deeds of prostitution, brothels, compradors, government offices, etc. are all remnants of feudal society and need to be swept into the dustbin of history.
Judging from the social concepts of later generations, that is, a hundred years later, a contract of sale is absolutely impossible to be recognized.
Everyone is born free, and no one can limit your freedom unless you break the law. "
Pan Suyi frowned.
"Back to you, Su Yi," Li Yun continued, "Xiang Ling Shuyu used unequal conditions to force you to sign a contract of sale, forcing you to pay a price far beyond your ability to buy freedom when you grow up. Not a fair thing."
"If the so-called contract of sale really needs to be established, in terms of the reciprocal relationship between rights and obligations in the West, you don't have to pay such a big price, you only need to return enough money to Shuyu when you are an adult, and you can restore your freedom Body!"
Pan Suyi's eyes became brighter and brighter.
She knew the concept of rights and obligations, but when she saw it in the newspaper, she didn't understand it because the reasoning was too profound.
Now that the young master said this, she immediately understood what rights and obligations are.
"Another way of saying it."
Li Yun lifted her clean chin, and said with a smile: "My lord, ten thousand silver dollars is enough to repay Xiangling Shuyu's training for you...Su Yi, you are not so extravagant that you spent ten thousand silver dollars in fourteen years, right? "
