After crossing, I surrounded the capital from the countryside

Counting? Making money?

Her fingers were scratching on the hoe, and she looked around with her bright eyes. She thought of the figure she saw at the beginning, which was also a girl...

The next second, her mind flashed back to what her parents had said.

"You're a money-loser!"

"What are you eating? You're wasting food! These are for your brother!"

"Get lost, you're just like your mother!"

……

Thinking of this, the girl's eyes flickered. Can I really learn it? Am I... am I worthy of it?

"Xiao Ya is smart! Xiao Ya can definitely do it!"

Hearing her name, the girl looked up.

She saw a short woman with rough skin and a few strands of white hair looking at her with determination in her eyes.

It was as if he had already seen that she would be one of the people who would follow Xu Qingqing out to make money.

"Aunt Guihua, can I really do this?" The little girl hesitated.

The woman called Aunt Guihua stretched out her rough hand and gently stroked the little girl's head.

"How do you know if you don't try? Besides, our Xiao Ya is so smart, I believe in you." Aunt Guihua squatted down and looked into Xiao Ya's eyes with a serious look and encouragement in her eyes.

Feeling Aunt Guihua's encouragement, Xiao Ya's mind flashed with the image of Xu Qingqing standing on the high platform and the words she said that day.

An impulse surged in her heart, and she also wanted to become a girl like the sect leader.

"Yes!" She nodded heavily: "Aunt Guihua, I will definitely work hard!"

"Good~"

Looking at the two people here, the others on the side couldn't help but sigh.

This can be considered a gift from fate, allowing these two unfortunate people to meet at each other's most desperate moment.

Xiaoya, the poor child abandoned by her biological parents on the road of fleeing famine, almost lost her life in hunger and helplessness. Fortunately, she met Aunt Guihua.

Aunt Guihua, a woman who lost her family and was alone, was filled with despair and sadness.

Their meeting seemed like a redemption arranged by God.

Aunt Guihua used her kindness and maternal love to give Xiaoya a warm home and taught her how to live and how to face difficulties.

Xiaoya's innocence and strength also brought hope and courage to Aunt Guihua. They relied on each other and went through many difficult times together.

It was not until the two were accepted by Yijie Mountain that their days of wandering came to an end.

"A little girl, how shameless! So eager to show up in public?"

A discordant voice rang out, and in an instant, a group of people's heads turned along with the voice, everyone wanted to see who said such words.

A man with a slightly mean face was stared at by everyone and was a little annoyed: "Am I wrong? It would be easier for a little girl to learn arithmetic when she goes home to learn housework."

Everyone: Stare (each one).

A three-year-old girl in the crowd looked at everyone curiously: "Can't little girls learn arithmetic?"

Her soft voice sounded, but everyone didn't know how to answer her.

After that man started talking, several people in the crowd started to question: "Even if a girl goes to school, won't she still have to get married in the future?"

"That's right, it's a thankless job. I learn so much, but in the end, I still end up with someone else's."

They had just started talking when a man standing nearby rolled up his sleeves and said, "Damn it, why didn't I notice your faces before?! Ugh!"

"If you want to learn outside, you have to spend money. Now the sect leader is teaching for free. What are you talking about? Besides, what's wrong with a girl? A girl is not your child? A girl is not a human being?"

"I just want to learn, why are you talking nonsense here?"

"Little girl, don't listen to their nonsense. Just go and learn! If you learn well, you can bring honor to us!"

"Let these people see that girls are not necessarily worse than boys!"

"That's right! Who says women are inferior to men!" Xu Qingqing had just walked into the reclaimed land when she heard these words and hurriedly stepped forward to speak.

"The arithmetic class that Xiaoyao Sect is holding this time is just to select talented craftsmen to follow me out of the mountains this time. No matter if you are male or female, old or young, you can all go and learn. After you learn well, follow me to go out and make money!"

"Everyone, although our Xiaoyao Sect is still small and everything is in ruins, I firmly believe that as long as we work together, we will be able to grow stronger in the future!"

"When the development is good in the future, we can even open a formal school in Xiaoyao Sect! At that time, I will also invite people who are proficient in various courses to teach everyone. Similarly, it will be open to everyone. As long as they want to learn, everyone can come and listen!"

Everyone's blood boiled after hearing this. Xu Qingqing smiled slightly, and her tone became serious. She glanced at the few people who had previously discouraged the girl from studying.

"Perhaps in some people's minds, girls are inferior to boys. But I want to tell you how narrow-minded and ignorant this idea is!"

"Don't forget, those boys you like were all born from women's bellies! Don't think that being a boy is so great, and don't underestimate the women of our Xiaoyao Sect!"

"Here, I hope everyone can abandon worldly prejudices and achieve equality between men and women. Whether you are a man or a woman, as long as you are willing to work hard and make progress, Xiaoyao Sect will provide you with equal opportunities and resources!"

As soon as these words were spoken, there was applause and cheers from the audience.

Some women were so excited that their eyes were filled with tears. Perhaps they had never thought that they would receive such equal treatment in Xiaoyao Sect.

How many girls have been taught since childhood that girls are money-losing goods?

But now, Xu Qingqing told them that men and women are equal in Xiaoyao Sect, and men also came out of women's bellies.

Yes, isn't that the case?

The few people who were touched by Xu Qingqing's words looked a little unhappy, but they didn't say anything in the end.

Xu Qingqing looked at the little girl in Aunt Guihua's arms and said to her with a smile: "Little girl, right? I'll wait for you tomorrow."

The little girl looked at Xu Qingqing, who was smiling brightly and was not as tall as her, and nodded with bright eyes: "Yeah."

Xu Qingqing: Hello, hey, are you polite?

Of course, Xu Qingqing didn’t know what Xiao Ya was thinking, otherwise she would really be furious.

Early the next morning, Aunt Guihua got up at Xiaoya's urging and helped her tie a new hairstyle. Seeing Xiaoya's excitement, Aunt Guihua also smiled and lovingly inserted a small flower into her hair.

"Our little girl looks so beautiful today." Aunt Guihua sighed as she helped the little girl tidy up her hair.

Xiaoya was a little shy, but still said firmly: "Aunt, I must study hard and go out with the Sect Master to see the world!"

"We must surprise those who look down on baby girls!"
