She became a god

The brick and tile house is great in every way, except there are too many neighbors nearby.

During the brief standoff between Wen Xichun and Chen Xiaocao, a considerable number of villagers had already gathered around to watch the spectacle.

Wang Zhaodi couldn't help but praise, "This little grass is such a good sister! You scoundrel, if you treat Guangzong even a tenth as well as Xiaocao treats Yaozu, I'll be completely satisfied."

The little girl standing next to her said coldly, "I'm not called a slut. My aunt said my name is Sheng Sheng."

Wang Zhaodi's long face immediately fell. Her sister-in-law was really a piece of trash. She was a money-loser who was unwilling to give any of her earnings to her family. When she came home, she didn't know how to support her brother and sister-in-law. All she did was instigate that wretched girl to argue with her.

When her sister-in-law comes home next time, she'll definitely marry off this troublemaker.

Wang Zhaodi's husband's surname is Li. Her husband, Li Sanniu, has two older brothers, a younger brother, and a younger sister.

Wang Zhaodi disliked her husband's younger sister, Li Baozhu, the most. Li Baozhu always took advantage of her young age to avoid doing any farm work or housework.

The elderly couple were also biased. When Li Baozhu was thirteen years old, they used their connections to send her to work as an embroiderer in the town's embroidery workshop. She could earn 600 coins a month, but they would only give 200 coins to her family.

What's the point of having so much money if you're a money-loser?

She's so rich, yet she refuses to buy meat for her son, Guangzong. No wonder she's still unmarried at eighteen.

Thinking this way, Wang Zhaodi's anger subsided considerably.

Li Shengsheng silently moved away from Wang Zhaodi and looked at the thin and helpless Chen Xiaocao.

Xiaocao is pitiful, but Li Shengsheng only thinks she's stupid.

Perhaps because she was nearly drowned by Wang Zhaodi shortly after birth, or perhaps because her birth mother called her a "bastard" every day, Li Shengsheng had no affection for her younger brother.

We're all human, so why should the younger brother always have a better life than the older sister?

We're all human, so why should the older sister obediently give everything for her younger brother?

In a few days, her aunt will be going home, and Li Shengsheng wants to ask her aunt for some silk thread.

If I could also embroider, I could stay in town and work as an embroiderer like my aunt, and have my own little savings.

Li Shengsheng didn't like this family at all. Although there were many people in the family and it was very lively, her heart was cold.

Sometimes, she really envied and admired Wen Xichun.

I envy Wenxi Chun for being all alone and doing whatever she wants.

I admire Wen Xichun for being able to hunt, support himself, and even buy a house.

Everyone in the village said that Wen Xichun was pitiful and all alone, but Li Shengsheng felt that this kind of life was the life of a god.

No one will hit or scold you, no one will urge you to work before dawn, no one will take away your food rations and ask you to give them to your younger brother, and no one will say that if you continue like this, you will never be able to get married.

Chen Xiaocao eventually left in a sorry state. Wang Zhaodi sighed, "That Rakshasa woman is so heartless. I think she's just afraid that Xiaocao has a younger brother and someone to rely on, and she can't stand seeing Xiaocao and her brother doing well."

Li Shengsheng sneered inwardly. What kind of support was her younger brother? It would be good enough if he didn't drain his sister of all her blood.

Wang Zhaodi and her three sisters only had one younger brother over the years.

Li Shengsheng had only ever seen Wang Zhaodi give her uncle food and money, but she had never seen her uncle give Wang Zhaodi money and food.

A normal person wouldn't do this kind of money-losing business twice.

Wang Zhaodi, however, was smug and thought that she was a good older sister for being able to help her younger brother.

She also said that no matter how hard or tiring it was, as long as she thought about how her younger brother could have a better life, she would be full of energy.

Li Shengsheng simply couldn't understand Wang Zhaodi's thoughts, and she was too lazy to understand them either.

Wang Zhaodi looked at her taciturn daughter and felt very displeased.

How could she give birth to such an unfilial child?

Every time her sister-in-law comes back, she gives that wretched girl special treatment.

That vile woman ate all the good things she got herself, without even leaving anything for herself, her husband, or Emperor Guangzong.

Normally, if you ask her to wash some clothes, she'll give you a cold look. In the village, which girl can wash clothes at the age of ten?

This wretched girl, on the other hand, has followed her sister-in-law around since she was little, and has learned all of her sister-in-law Li Baozhu's lazy and greedy bad habits. Sometimes even her own mother can hardly get her to do anything.

[Sigh! The human world is really strange!]

The red panda, whose memories are only from the age of five, had only a few sentences in a book for its initial understanding of the human world.

But when the red panda actually came into contact with the human world, she found that the human world was even stranger than described in the books, and even made her feel disgusted.

The book says that men are superior to women in the human world, but Little Panda didn't expect that not only men prefer men to women, but women also prefer men to women.

While the villagers who were watching the commotion were chatting, Little Panda heard many women's names like "Zhao Di," "Pan Di," "Yin Di," "Lai Di," "Jian Nv," and "Sao Nv."

The little panda couldn't understand why these women could so naturally accept being given such insulting names.

Don't they know how to resist?

Or are they deliberately degrading themselves?

So the little panda asked Wenxi Chun, "Why do the women here, despite living such miserable lives, never think of escaping or rebelling?"

Wen Xichun said, "They have always been like this: pitiful but cowardly, tragic but ignorant, always complaining but never making any real changes."

The little panda concluded, "They're asking for trouble."

Knowing full well that such a life is bitter, yet not changing it, isn't that just self-degradation and willingly suffering?

People like this are simply hopeless!

But the little panda still had a glimmer of hope: "Do you think that one day in the future, these women might rebel against the suffering inflicted upon them and create a new world for themselves with their own hands?"

Wen Xichun was bewildered. After a long while, she answered truthfully, "I don't know."

The red panda laughed. "I don't know either. Actually, it's normal that we don't know."

Because this is their own life, aside from fate, whether a woman lives a good or bad life is entirely up to her own choices and actions.

Thinking of this, the little panda also quoted a line from a poem included in "Essential Poems for Children in the Demon Realm": "We cannot see the true face of Mount Lu, because we are in the mountain ourselves."

Those of us outside of Mount Lu can naturally see its true face clearly.

But those women struggling in Mount Lu may never leave Mount Lu in their lifetime.

Wen Xichun refuted the red panda for the first time, saying, "Mount Lu is not far away. It's not that they can't get out, but that they don't want to."

After a long silence, the little panda sighed. "Perhaps they didn't know they had the ability to leave Mount Lu."
