A female supporting character who travels through time and has a spatial ability becomes the darling

Sister Guilan ignored the glib-tongued girl, made a note of the bill, and then chased her away.

Yun Shu didn't mind. She and her best friend Xie Yicheng, who had also exchanged pig's trotters, pig's ears, and pig's intestines, went to the side and each got a portion of the big pot of stew that the team had made that day—pig-killing stew.

The tradition of eating together in a communal pot was very popular in the past, but in recent years it has gradually evolved into a meal only eaten by the whole brigade on important holidays. Like today, the brigade leader arranged for a whole pig to be cooked directly. This doesn't count towards work points, and everyone gets a bowl, calculated per head, even the children.

Many children, after receiving the meat from their large bowls, immediately found a place to eat it, fearing that their parents would not let them eat more or to their heart's content, or that their parents would use the excuse of them sharing the meat to divide it among their older and younger brothers.

This phenomenon is very common among girls.

Even worse, some little girls dare not eat meat at all, because if they take a bite, they will be beaten and verbally abused by their parents, who will accuse them of being "heartless, not knowing how to take care of their younger brother, not giving in to their younger brother, being born a glutton, and acting like dogs seeing shit when they see meat, and crying during the New Year..."

Such things are unbearable to hear.

Girls like Xie Minmin, who are pampered by their families, are rare, not to mention... she may not really be as important as her brothers.

……

As they walked back with their bowls, Yun Shu and her group saw several little girls crying so hard they could hardly breathe, and little boys who had snatched meat from their hands and were happily eating it.

Yun Shu's heart immediately felt heavy, and the good mood she had maintained all day was instantly swept away.

Yun Shu felt very frustrated and wanted to do something, but reason told her that she couldn't change the deep-rooted social atmosphere and reality at all.

Fortunately, a scene relieved Yun Shu's depression: a little girl who looked dark and thin, and seemed to be eleven or twelve years old, punched her younger brother who came to steal her meat. Then, amidst her brother's crying and her parents' scolding, she ate all the meat in the bowl in a few bites, her little mouth so full that she could hardly close it.

The parents scolded even more fiercely, and the younger brother cried even more sincerely, but the little girl didn't care at all.

When her parents scolded her, she grabbed a stick and hit her younger brother. When her parents got angry and tried to hit her, she ran to the brigade leader and the women's director.

The couple, who favored sons over daughters, were clearly all bark and no bite. After being glared at by Director Lin, they immediately stopped shouting that they would beat the little girl to death.

As for whether the little girl will get a beating when she gets home, judging from how skillfully and nimbly she moves around, she probably has her own way of dealing with it.

Seeing this scene, Yun Shu's mood brightened considerably. Chen Ming, who had regained some of his knowledgeable side, also introduced the little girl's situation to Yun Shu and the others.

After learning that the little girl had complained to the brigade leader and Director Lin more than once about the couple abusing their child, not letting her eat or sleep, and even deliberately leading her parents, who were chasing and beating her, to the commune leaders when people from the commune came, causing her parents to be criticized twice and penalized with work points several times, Yun Shu felt more and more that this little girl was definitely going to do great things in the future!

After all, she's fearless. These days, the ruthless are afraid of the reckless, and the reckless are afraid of the reckless.

She had nothing left to lose, and she had never owned anything, so naturally she dared to resist all kinds of injustice.

……

Yun Shu, now a devoted fan, kept turning back to look at the educated youth settlement as she walked. She watched as the girl, relying on the power of the brigade leader and Director Lin, argued with her parents and then suddenly beat her younger brother several times. Every time her brother cried, she would hit him with a stick, and every cry would be followed by another blow. In the end, her brother didn't even dare to cry anymore, but kept shouting that he shouldn't let his parents hit his sister.

He was in even more pain because his parents hit his older sister!

Seeing this, her parents had no choice but to give in. They felt sorry for their son but were also afraid that the brigade leader and Director Lin would punish them again, so they had no choice but to compromise. They gave their son the meat in their bowls and then ignored the little girl as if she didn't exist.

The little girl didn't care about her parents' reaction. The old lady who was serving the food even gave her some more pickled cabbage and hot soup because she felt sorry for her, so she ate her fill and had a hot meal.

The team members had no objections, after all, everyone has a compassionate heart, and besides, it was just some pickled cabbage.

The little girl won a great victory!

Other little girls who had experienced the same thing were extremely envious when they saw this, and their eyes shone with a different kind of light.

Some of the brave boys turned around to look at their older or younger brothers, while those boys who were used to bullying their sisters suddenly felt a chill down their spines.

Some parents, seeing what the team leader and Director Lin had just done, suddenly hesitated and wondered if... they should still give their daughter some food? Otherwise, it wouldn't look good to outsiders.

Ultimately, they know that male chauvinism is not a good thing, and they have no way to argue with those who do not have male chauvinism.

So it was better than nothing, and most of the girls still got a few pieces of meat that were rightfully theirs. Of course, there were also some who were the kind of people who didn't care at all what others thought of their family, treating their daughters like roadside weeds and their sons like treasures.

In this situation... the captain and Director Lin really had no other way to deal with them except to give them a few reprimands.

After all, not everyone has the courage to rebel like that little girl.

Fortunately, as long as there is a glimmer of light, there is a sliver of hope; as long as hope remains, it will always point the way.

Then, like a wildfire, it spread and became a prairie fire.

……

After returning to the educated youth settlement, Yun Shu thought about it and decided to write about this incident in an article and submit it for publication.

Of course, it's not a complete retelling of the facts; it will certainly be embellished to transform the harsh reality into an ironic allegory.

Yun Shu didn't care how much impact her actions would have. After all, her goal was to make more people confront this phenomenon that had been ignored or taken for granted in the past; gender equality couldn't just be empty words.

She has both the ability and the advantage, so she absolutely cannot be less brave than a little girl.

She also wanted to be a spark that ignited a prairie fire.

Without hesitation, Yun Shu, inspired by the story, stayed up all night to write a fable of less than three thousand words, based on the little girl's struggle for her own life.

Yun Shu set the story to an open ending: the pampered boy's tadpole, which he kept in a bottle, suddenly turned into a toad, and he cried and begged his parents to turn him back into a frog; while the excellent but neglected girl's ugly duckling, which she kept in an empty house, eventually transformed into a swan, flew away, and never returned home.
