Ancient women awaken: loving yourself is the way to go

One man couldn't bear to hear what Shen Xingxi said and retorted: "We provide them with food and clothing, and let them enjoy a good life at home. Shouldn't they put us first in everything?"

"But have they enjoyed their blessings?" Shen Xingxi sneered, using a little inner strength to make his voice more widely heard. "They need to take care of their mother-in-law, serve you, manage the household, bear children for you, and take care of your children. Aren't they busier than the housekeepers of the major mansions?

Go ask how much money those housekeepers earn each month. Can you earn that much a month? Not to mention how much pocket money you can give them after deducting household expenses?

It's obviously you who are taking advantage!

In most families, wives would secretly do private work to supplement the household income.

And you always think that they should do these things because they married you, but have you ever thought about their hard work?

It's hard to be outside in the wind and sun, but aren't you tiring to be busy at home?

They have worked hard all their lives, their faces have turned yellow, but how many of them have ever been thanked for their hard work? "

Shen Xingxi's words made many women cry. The grievances came from their hearts, and when they were exposed, tears burst out.

It was a rare occasion that someone spoke up for them, and they also wanted to talk about it.

"My family couldn't afford servants, so I took care of the child by myself. I was still in confinement at the time, and the child would cry if I wasn't holding him. My husband would only blame me for not taking good care of the child and why he kept crying. I had no choice but to hold him every day, and now my arms are so weak.

But I still have to fetch water and cook. He always says that he is busy all day just to support the family, but he can’t even have a hot meal when he goes home, and he says I am useless.”

"Your situation is considered good. I have to take care of the children and my mother-in-law. My mother-in-law is bedridden. I wipe her body, wash her feet, and feed her every day. My mother-in-law has a bad temper and is very troublesome. The children are also young, so I have to do everything myself. I have to take time out for meals every day. Once he saw me eating, he actually said that I was lazy and gluttonous."

"..."

Most of the men lowered their heads after hearing these words, feeling guilty.

It's because they are incapable of giving their wives a good life, so why shouldn't they treat their wives well?

Some men were indifferent. They murmured, "Isn't it just doing some housework? What's so tiring about it?"

Shen Xingxi narrowed her eyes, thinking that it would be possible to play a game of gender swapping.

She looked at the lady who had just spoken, "Auntie, I have a question. If you were kidnapped by the kidnappers and had a chance to escape, would you be able to commit suicide directly? After all, the kidnappers met you when they were kidnapping you."

The old lady was stumped by the question. She wanted to say that she would also defend her innocence, but who would be willing to die?

Besides, she didn't do anything wrong at all.

Shen Xingxi sighed: "Auntie, there is another situation. You tried your best to escape in order to stay alive. Because of your misfortune, your friends, sisters and family members accused you of hanging yourself to defend your innocence. How would you feel?

It is obvious that the kidnappers are the perpetrators and you are the victim! In the end, the kidnappers are at large, but you have to lose your life because of it. Don’t you think it’s sad?”

Her voice was filled with helplessness and desolation: "Auntie, you are also a woman. This world has always been harsh on women, why are you still joining in the attack on women?

Have you ever thought that if someone could stand up and tell her when such a tragedy happened, it was not her fault that she was kidnapped, and that innocence is far less important than life, that the woman could already do business and support herself, and that getting married is not the only way out.

That could save a life!"

She glanced at everyone and said, “Men present here, if your wives encountered such a situation, you would definitely despise them for being unclean, right?

Why is innocence more important than human life in this world?

Tell me, what is going on in this world?

Should women be so harshly criticized? "

"Ladies, are you willing to live your whole life like this? You may have been in chaos in your previous life, but you can still love yourself well in your next life! So many paths have been opened up, such as business, imperial examinations, and the women's college that will soon be opened. Why should you leave your fate to others?

Taking someone else's meager income, taking care of the whole family, enduring curses and contempt, is it worth it? Isn't it tiring? Can't you think about yourself a little bit?"

After saying that, she closed her eyes, took Mo Hongyun's hand and turned to leave.

The people who stayed there looked at their backs, unable to calm down for a long time.

They never thought that one day someone would want them to think about them.

They are not asked to take care of their younger brothers, send money to their parents' home, take care of children, serve their husbands, or take care of their elders.

Most of them have been asked to do things all their lives, but have never been told to do anything for themselves.

The lady wiped her tears and shouted, "I'm sorry, young lady! Human life is indeed more important than innocence, you are right! The world is so harsh to women, how can I add fuel to the fire?

Wrong, all wrong. "

Some men were also moved. The women clearly had other options, but they were willing to marry them and choose to rely on them. What reason did they have not to treat their wives well? How could they have the nerve to scold them at will?

Mo Hongyun was also thinking about Xingxi's words.

Since when did innocence become more important than life?

Why hadn't he noticed anything was wrong before?

He seemed to have been instilled with the idea that a woman who has lost her virginity is unclean and that she should give it to her husband the first time.

Just like he never thought that there was anything wrong with his father not being able to accept that his mother was not a virgin.

Even her mother felt that it was normal to be tortured and humiliated because she was not a virgin.

Although it was sad to hear that a woman whose innocence was ruined hanged herself, it was hard to feel any waves in my heart.

It’s like no one would compare innocence with life, people live according to their own thinking and rules, step by step.

He was thinking all the way, and when he came to his senses, he found that he had entered a restaurant.

Shen Xingxi poured a cup of tea for Mo Hongyun and asked, "Have you figured it out?"

"Well, I feel like my mind is constrained." Mo Hongyun also poured a cup of tea for Xingxi, "I think if innocence is not important, father and mother may have a good ending."

"Hongyun, I have always had a question. The body belongs to the woman, so why don't women have the right to fully control it? And why do men demand that women must be innocent?

Why do women not even have the right to have their husbands stay with them forever?" Shen Xingxi's voice was calm, but chilling.
