Chapter 1876 Women's Lives Are Worse than Animals
Mi Aiyu has a cousin who is so miserable, because she gave birth to three daughters in a row, and she was beaten by her cousin's husband every day. People who are twenty-four or five years old are older than forty or fifty years old, but no one in the village said that the cousin's husband was wrong. It is said that the cousin is dishonest and deserves to be beaten.
Even her uncle and aunt, the cousin's own parents, didn't speak up for the cousin, only let the cousin bear it, and even blamed her for not having a son, which cut off the family's incense, no wonder the cousin's husband was angry.
Mi Aiyu was in high school at the time, so she told her uncle and aunt that it was not her cousin's fault that she couldn't have a son, it was a man's problem, and that women just had to give birth, and what they couldn't have had to be determined by the man's chromosomes. She read it all from the book.
But no one believed Mi Aiyu's words, they all thought she was talking nonsense and asked her to keep her mind off her own business.
Mi Aiyu went to tell her cousin, but she didn't believe it. She felt that it was her fault, that she had committed a serious crime and deserved to die. She is willing to fight, and one is willing to suffer, so she can't say anything.
She told her cousin's story, and Tang Xiaonan and the others shook their heads. It's the 1990s now, how can there be such ignorance?
"How is your cousin now?" Tang Xiaonan asked with concern.
Mi Aiyu sighed, her expression became sad, "He died two years ago."
Everyone was taken aback, Qi Qi asked, "Did you get beaten to death by that cousin-in-law of yours?"
Mi Aiyu shook her head, "The child died of bleeding after giving birth. My cousin was malnourished for a long time, she had to work and take care of the child, and she had to be beaten by her cousin's husband. She collapsed early, but she still wanted to have a son, so she desperately conceived." The child, in the end, the cousin-in-law’s family couldn’t bear to spend money to go to the hospital and gave birth at home. My cousin couldn’t make it through, she died twice, and the child was not saved, it was a son.”
She sneered and mocked: "This is retribution. My cousin's husband beats my cousin every day to give birth to a son. After finally having a son, he killed his own son because of his family's abuse."
Tang Xiaonan and the others sighed, and the atmosphere was a bit heavy. They really didn't expect that after so many years of liberation, there would be such an ignorant and backward place, where women still live a life that is not as good as animals.
"There are many such things over there?" Xin Gan asked in a low voice.
Mi Aiyu nodded, "A lot, not only in my hometown, but also in our neighboring counties. In fact, this is the case in poor places. Your Jiangnan side is rich, which may not be the case, but it is basically the case in remote mountain villages. The poorer you are, the more you live. , getting poorer and poorer, no matter how promising a daughter is, it is not as important as a useless son."
Zheng Xiaohong sighed, "Actually, think about why women get married. It's better to be single. Women are financially independent, and they should be happier not getting married than being married."
"It also depends on the situation. If you meet a man who truly loves you, marriage will naturally be a happy one. You can't give up eating because of choking, because a scumbag thinks that men in the world are not good. If you meet a suitable man, you will get married. If you don't, you will be single." So, when women are economically independent, they have more freedom of choice, and they don't have to be forced to marry, let alone marry just for the sake of marriage." Lin Xuejian concluded.
Everyone couldn't help clapping their hands. This couldn't be more true.
Mi Aiyu was also refreshed and made up her mind, "I will go to the private school for an interview in the afternoon. No matter how difficult it is, I will stay in the capital to develop. When I earn money, I will pay for my sister to go to school and let her go to school." Get it out."
