There is no absolute "right" or "wrong" in this matter, but only complicated "games" and "competitions."
Thinking from different angles, there will be different results.
Different ways of thinking will also have different impacts on the final results.
For example, if Gu Qingling hadn't intervened, would Mrs. Yao Er be willing to share Mrs. Yao's interests?
For example, if Mrs. Yao could get more information, would she be willing to let Mrs. Yao only give her a little?
No one will know these.
Even Gu Qingling didn't know. She said: "Human nature is the most complicated thing. No one dares to be 100% sure what a person is like. Even ourselves, at different times and in different places, what we know
The choices you make will also become different. Therefore, this is a question with no answer, there are only choices and the consequences of this choice."
"What if it was the old lady? What would the old lady do?" Yao Anhong raised his head, looked at Gu Qingling and asked.
Gu Qingling smiled softly, with a hint of surprise at the corner of her mouth, and she said: "I...haven't I already made my choice?"
Yao Anhong was stunned for a moment.
"I gave your mother the recipe and the choice. So what kind of arrangements your mother will make in the end are the consequences that I must bear. I am not the roundworm in your mother's belly, and neither is she.
My chess piece does not listen to whom, I just hope that the choice she makes will be within the scope of my acceptance. If not, either I will find a way to change it, or I will have to accept it."
Yao Anhong was silent for a while and said: "If my mother is not willing to give it to my eldest aunt, don't you think my mother is too selfish?"
"It's really selfish."
Yao Anhong's heart tightened.
"But didn't your mother treat you, your sister, and your father badly? She worked so hard to put things in her pocket, but whose pocket did it end up in? After all, everything your mother did,
It's just for the sake of your little family, 'second wife', isn't it?" Gu Qingling smiled and said, "You just said that, if you look at it from this perspective, your mother is not wrong, she just has selfish motives and wants to make you two brothers and sisters happy.
It’s just that people can live a better life.”
"But, this is a bit unfair to my mother." Yao Anxin bit her lip and finally plucked up the courage to speak out.
"It's really unfair. Your mother is the matriarch of the Yao family and your father is the eldest son. Even if they do nothing, they naturally have many resources. For example, your grandfather's title and 70% of the Yao family's products
, represents the invisible connections of the Yao family..."
Yao Anxin opened her mouth, feeling a little confused.
It turns out that as the eldest son, does her father have so many things?
And her mother, because she married her father, who was the eldest son, also had a lot - as the head mother of the family, Mrs. Yao had the right to control all the resources of the Yao family.
Obviously they have the same parents, but her second uncle and second aunt can only inherit the remaining quarter of the Yao family, and they have to share it with the other concubines. Forget it like this, once the family expenses are divided, unless her second uncle
One family has special abilities, otherwise...
Gu Qingling said: "If you are the eldest son, then these futures are also yours. Unfortunately, you are a girl, so you don't have them. This is unfair to you. They are all children of parents, but because of one
Regardless of gender, everything in the Yao family has nothing to do with you. Once you marry someone else, you belong to someone else’s family..."
"But I'm a girl."
"Yes, because you are a girl, but compared with boys, what do you lack compared to them? Are you not born from the same father or mother, or are you not given the surname Yao?"
Yao Anxin: "..."
She really thought about this question.
When she was still young, she once asked, since they are both the children of their parents, why do they have to have boys? Since she is a girl, is it not okay?
They told her: No, it must be a boy.
Yao Anxin was silent, and gradually agreed with their thinking - because she was a girl, she had no elder brother or younger brother, so their eldest family would have no heirs.
Like everyone else, she longed for her mother to give birth to a boy, because only then would the big family have a future.
"You see, this world has never been 'fair'." Gu Qingling looked into her eyes and said.
At that moment, Yao Anxin's eyes turned red for some unknown reason.
It was like someone who had been greatly wronged, and his heart instantly became sad.
Gu Qingling sighed and stretched out his hand to wave to her.
Yao Anxin approached her, fell on her knees, and shed tears involuntarily.
Gu Qingling touched the top of Yao Anxin's hair and said softly: "What you are going through now has been experienced by every woman. This is unfair to women. Faced with this unfairness, we can only do two things.
The first thing is that when you are not strong enough to change this unfair rule, you can only adapt to it, understand it, and then use its 'rules' to achieve your own goals.
"
"Of course, if you can become the second type and have the power to change the rules, then you can break the rules and make the rules you want."
"It's just that for most of us, all we can do is the first one."
"Whether it's your mother or your second aunt, what they are doing is the first type."
…
"Can girls also have the same rights as boys?" This was something Yao Anxin had never heard of before, and it simply broke her previous understanding.
She raised her head and looked at Gu Qingling with red eyes, a little unbelievable and a little...
Something seemed to be getting angry in her heart.
It's just that she didn't realize it at the moment.
Gu Qingling smiled and said: "Why not? How are you worse than boys? Is it because you are not as good at reading as they are, or because your brain is not as smart as theirs, or because you feel...without a man, you can't be self-reliant and support yourself?"
?”
Yao Anxin: ...she wouldn’t dare to accept this.
Can she support herself?
She has been supported by her family since she was born and has never earned a penny. She never thought that one day, she would have to consider the issue of supporting herself.
She shouldn't have grown up, taken over some shops and Zhuangzi from her mother, and then gotten married...
"How about I tell you a secret to seizing the right to speak from a man?" Gu Qingling said, leaning into Yao Anxin's ear and speaking softly.
Yao Anhong, who was listening with open ears: "..."
——Old lady, are you sure this is okay for you?
——I am your eldest grandson!
——Furthermore, you are teaching your granddaughter these things in front of your eldest grandson. How do I feel about it...
Yao Anxin's eyes widened: "Really?!"
Gu Qingling nodded: "Of course it's true. If you don't believe it, you can take a closer look after you go back today. There are so many women in our family. If she wants to live a smooth life, what characteristics do she have when she gets married?
, you will understand.”
Yao Anxin nodded.
Being trained by Gu Qingling for so long, she has learned the three important steps of "asking questions", "looking for clues", and then "solving problems".
Since the old lady has given her such an important "hint", Yao Anxin believes that she will soon find out whether what the old lady said is true.
