As soon as Mrs. Yao helped Yao Anxin get out the "story routine outline" that the old lady asked for, she suddenly felt that the love stories between men and women that she had seen before were no longer interesting. The more they read, the more clichéd they became, and the more they looked, the more loopholes they had.
It seems that just by looking at the beginning, you can guess the ending.
The more I read the story, the less interested I became. The more I read it, the more I felt it was not as good as what I had written. Everything I wrote was more logical than it.
"Since Mom dislikes their poor writing, then I'll write one myself."
"Shall I write?" Mrs. Yao was stunned, "That's not quite... okay."
"What's this? Mom wrote it, but she wouldn't show it to others." Yao Anxin looked disapproving.
She also noticed that her mother stayed at home all day long and had no hobbies or interests of her own except being busy with other things.
These stories in the storybooks aroused her mother's interest, otherwise her mother would not have spared time to read the storybooks with her and do the homework assigned by the old lady.
"But..." Mrs. Yao hesitated a little, she always felt that this was not good.
She is the eldest lady of the Yao family, the mistress of the family, but she does something like this... that is not publicity. Wouldn't it be embarrassing if word spread?
"What are you worried about?"
Mrs. Yao was vague, saying that she would understand when her daughter got married, and she would not have the freedom of being a girl after getting married.
In fact, to put it bluntly, Mrs. Yao was worried that she was writing in the room, and if she didn't pay attention and Uncle Yao bumped into her, it would be bad.
After all, she is a woman, but she writes about this kind of love behind her own man's back, which is a bit too much.
Yao Anxin couldn't understand for a moment: "How could it be? The old lady said that you have more freedom when you are married than when you are a girl."
Then, Barabala said what the old lady Gu Qingling said to her.
When I was a girl, my every word and deed was watched by my family. If I didn’t have money, and I wanted to buy something, I had to reach out and ask others for money. But it’s different when I get married. As long as you have money,
If your shop is run properly and you have money, no one can stop you no matter what you want.
Mrs. Yao was speechless, she did not expect that the old lady would tell Yao Anxin this.
"Well, the old lady has said it a long time ago. She said that if a woman wants to have a certain degree of autonomy, she must control economic power. When your economic power reaches a certain level, even men have to listen to you." Yao Anxin said.
He looked proud and gave an example.
This example made Mrs. Yao speechless.
Because Yao Anxin recommended none other than the old lady Gu Qingling.
Although Yao Anxin didn't know what other people's old ladies looked like, Gu Qingling told Yao Anxin that the reason why everyone in the Yao family listened to her was not just because she was an "old lady", but also because she held the secrets of everyone in the Yao family.
Economic power.
Everyone who wants to live a good life is counting on her to have a little leakage between her fingers, so everyone loves her and supports her.
"The old lady said that if I get married in the future, the most important thing is to hold on to the financial power in my hands. No one can touch it, not even my future husband." Yao Anxin said seriously, "He
If I want, I can give him a little, but the premise is that he makes me happy. If I am unhappy, I can't give him a little. Of course, the premise of all this is that I have the ability, so I must study hard now, only
Once I learn the old lady's skills, I won't have to worry about anyone bullying me in the future."
Mrs. Yao: "..."
——My dear!
——Old lady, what exactly did you teach my daughter?!
Although she didn't want to admit it, she had to admit that the old lady was right.
Now, in the Yao family, who doesn’t want the old lady to live their lives?
What is the reason why they are chasing the old lady?
In addition to the fact that the old lady is an old lady, it is more because of her wisdom and the old hen that lays golden eggs in her hand.
"Mom, I don't quite understand why you are worried about others knowing about your writing of stories. Aren't the financial powers of our house in your hands?" At this point, Yao Anxin became confused again and said, "Although dad has a salary,
, but comparing his little salary with the money you earn, it’s like a small bird seeing a big bird. Logically speaking, shouldn’t you be able to do whatever you want?”
Mrs. Yao didn't know what to say for a while. She didn't know how to explain to her daughter. Some things were not as simple as her daughter thought.
There was no other way, Mrs. Yao could only start from the "Girls' Ring" and the family rules, and tell Yao Anxin what "the male is the master outside, the female is the domestic" and what the rules of the daughter's family are.
However, it is a pity that what Mrs. Yao said was somewhat different from what Gu Qingling said.
Although Yao Anxin understood it, she didn't particularly approve of it.
"Mom, the man is the master of the house and the man is the master of the house. This sentence does not mean that everything outside is taken care of by the man and the woman only needs to take care of the family. It means..." Yao Anxin taught Gu Qingling without any hesitation.
The content given to her was explained.
In addition to being the male protagonist, if a man is capable, he can act as the family's protective umbrella and protect the entire family.
Because men are strong enough, women don’t need to worry about external matters. They only need to help men “fill in” the remaining content, that is, take care of the backyard.
But in fact, do women really only need to take care of the backyard?
No!
no.
As a housewife, she must not only take care of the one-third of an acre of land in front of her, she also needs to take care of her family's business and manage her future husband's family's way of making money.
What men are in charge of is actually just their own careers.
"A man only needs to do one thing, which is to do his job well. A woman needs to do more. She not only needs to give birth to children for the man, but also needs to take care of the man's family and run the business...
…”
Yao Anxin told Mrs. Yao one by one, Mrs. Yao was in bad condition.
Although she is not as powerful as the "mother of the house" described by her daughter, in fact, she seems to have done a lot.
For example, if the male leads the outside and the female leads the inside, if that is really the case, does she only need to take care of the Yao family's rear household affairs and have children?
actually not.
She not only needs to take care of the general affairs of the Yao family's back house, but she also needs to manage her mother's shop, as well as the old lady's store, which is officially in her name but actually belongs to their eldest son (that is, Uncle Yao).
Baixiangge (Beijing branch), new construction team, etc.
In addition, she also has to do a good job of "lady diplomacy", dealing with the matrons of various major families, and expanding or maintaining connections for the Yao family.
"Really, mother, is my daughter right?" Yao Anxin blinked and said, "Does dad just need to work hard and study, and get a good name in the exam? Previously, the old lady asked him and his second uncle to be in charge of the Yao family.
The bookstore thing was just to train dad, but as soon as dad had to take the imperial examination, the old lady arranged for someone to take over the job, and she got busy herself."
Mrs. Yao: "..."
"My mother has done many things. If she fails in any one of them, it means that she is not virtuous. But as long as my father does the imperial examination well, he will be a promising and capable man. In this world, women are treated badly.
The requirements are extremely high, just because they are too high, it is difficult for women to achieve this, so there are many heroic men in the world, but few good wives and mothers."
