Under Yan Luoluodi's order, the robbers dutifully handed the money to Xia Xia.
Xia Xia stood up straight for the first time. There was no abuse or beating, only Ji Wuxuan's encouragement and Yan Luoluo's satisfied eyes.
It turns out that you won’t get beaten if you stand up straight!
Xia Xia was a little happy, and a smile appeared on her lips unconsciously.
She has been beaten and scolded as long as she can remember. Her mother said that she was a loser and it was her who caused her mother to be punished by her grandmother.
Daddy said she was a money loser and only knew how to eat all day long, but she never had enough to eat.
She didn't understand what it meant to be full or not, but after meeting Yan Luoluo, she realized that it was possible to eat until you couldn't eat anymore.
She has been working since she could walk. It was obvious that she couldn't do anything at such a young age, and if she didn't do it, she would be beaten severely.
Every morning, she gets up the earliest to make breakfast for her family of five. She can only sit in the kitchen and eat cold steamed buns.
The five members of the family do not include her, but her grandparents, parents, and the whole family's baby brother.
Then she needs to wash clothes, clean, feed chickens and pigs, and after doing this she has to work in the fields...
When it was time to go to bed, she had to wash everyone's feet and clean the house before she could go back to the kitchen and sleep next to the stove.
She thought that all girls were like this, until she saw the village chief's sister playing in the village wearing a beautiful dress, and she realized that she was the only one who was like this.
She also begged her parents to let her go out to play, but what she got was an even more terrifying storm.
From then on, she accepted her fate and worked hard just to avoid being beaten and scolded.
But those people were still dissatisfied and felt that she did too little work.
More than once, she fainted in the fields from hunger and exhaustion. Her parents said she was trying to be lazy, and then they beat her severely.
When bandits looted the village, her parents sent her into the hands of the bandits in order to survive.
At the bandit's place, she felt another kind of pain, which was much more uncomfortable than being hit on her body.
She didn't even understand what the bandits were doing, nor why other girls were crying, nor why some girls wanted to hurt themselves.
Girls who hurt themselves ended up lying on the ground motionless, and the other girls would drag them to a corner and cry even harder.
Later she discovered that as long as she huddled in a corner and was not seen by the bandits, they would not drag her out.
When they beat her, as long as she didn't resist, the bandits would find it boring and make her less painful.
She curled up like this and didn't say a word no matter how painful it was, so that she could be beaten less often.
Her only wish is not to be beaten.
What a simple but heart-wrenching wish, but it was something she had been dreaming of for ten years.
Because she was not beaten, Xia Xia was finally willing to speak.
After cleaning up the group of robbers, Yan Luoluo and his party continued on their way.
Lingling still held her and communicated with her for a long time, finally understanding her past from her stammering words.
Not to mention flesh-and-blood people like Yan Luoluo and Ji Wuxuan, even robots like Lingling felt "heartbroken" towards her.
Xia Xia's voice was very low and her speech was not very clear.
But Yan Luoluo and his party are all capable, and everyone present heard Xia Xia's words.
Even the weakest Ji Wuxuan is a martial arts master with profound internal strength and a person with sharp ears and eyesight.
Qin Yuhan tugged at Yan Luoluo's clothes: "Sir, let's not send her away. She is already miserable enough."
Yan Luoluo actually changed her mind, but she still said what she said, she didn't need useless people around her.
She asked Qin Yuhan: "Can you read?"
Qin Yuhan's face was confused: "Ah? Yes!"
Yan Luoluo asked Chun'er again: "Can you read?"
The child Xia Xia's experience was much worse than that of Chun'er, who was currently holding a ball of yin energy and twitching.
It's a pity that ghosts don't have tears, so she can't cry.
Upon hearing Master Pluto's question, Chun'er quickly responded: "No, I won't."
Completely expected answer.
Yan Luoluo: "From today on, Qin Yuhan will be responsible for teaching Chun'er and Xia Xia how to read and write, so that they can master basic reading as soon as possible."
Qin Yuhan didn't understand why, but she didn't need to know the reason to accept this work arrangement honestly.
Ji Wuxuan was thoughtful: "What book do you want them to read?"
Yan Luoluo: "All kinds of books. Reading makes people wise. When they know more, their thoughts will change accordingly."
Ji Wuxuan couldn't help but shudder when he thought of those scholars who considered themselves noble: "None of the scholars I have met are very wise."
Yan Luoluo glanced at him, took out a few books and threw them into his arms.
Ji Wuxuan opened the first book. It was a short and medium-length novel, telling the story of how a weak princess survived in the turbulent royal family and successfully ascended the throne.
Where in this world have people ever seen a woman become emperor?
Ji Wuxuan was shocked when he saw it, but the plots of the novel were intertwined and everything was so natural. It was just that the gender of the successful person had changed, which he couldn't accept.
But he had to admit that the heroine of this book was confident, wise, and full of feminine charm.
After such a comparison, the princesses in the palace are vastly different from them.
Even he himself is not as good as this heroine.
Seeing Ji Wuxuan's unpredictable expression, Yan Luoluo raised her lips in a good mood: Sample, I have a lot of heroine articles here, are you afraid that I won't be able to cure your patriarchal mentality?
If one book is not enough, use two books; if two books are not enough, use three books.
In addition to major female protagonists, there are also various philosophical documents and ideological emancipation books based on female characters.
When her friends helped her prepare supplies, they collected 50% of Earth Star's books. Now she is Yan·Mobile Library·Luoluo!
Originally, these books were used to kill her time, but now they can be of great help to her. Ah, praise for the foresight of the child Yao Shimin.
Qin Yuhan picked up a book that taught women to be confident, self-reliant and self-reliant. His eyes were filled with brilliance and he understood what Yan Luoluo was thinking.
Even if these books cannot change the social status quo of the entire world, they can at least let women know that women are not the vassals of men, allowing those women who are in dire straits to rise up and resist.
Ji Wuxuan could imagine how much uproar these books would cause if they were circulated.
Yan Luoluo was not naive enough to think that just a few books could change deep-rooted thoughts. Even in Earth Star, there were still many places where boys were preferred over girls.
But it doesn't matter, all she has to do is plant a seed for the majority of female friends.
When the seeds take root and sprout one day in the future and grow into towering trees, this deformed social concept will no longer be able to make waves.
