The Wenhao system helped me become a killer
Chapter 7 Datong 7
After all, Shen Wenjiao is now in the body of a four-year-old child. It has taken up too much of her energy to hold on to understand the system in the middle of the night.
Shen Wenjiao climbed out of the quilt, lay down decisively and stopped making things difficult for herself. She swallowed the intelligence-enhancing pill and the health-preserving pill in one gulp, closed her eyes and went to sleep. She would talk about it tomorrow if there was anything!
Just when Shen Wenjiao was nervously observing her own mother's movements and racking her brains to find a solution every day, foot binding finally felt like a turning point.
As usual, when the weather was good during the day, Grandma Shen was doing some embroidery in the yard, watching Shen Wenjiao running around in the small yard under the leadership of Shuang'er.
Seeing that Shen Wenjiao had been fed well for such a long time but still hadn't gained weight, Grandma Shen put down the embroidery thread in her hand, and without caring about the outside, she curled her lips and complained to Lu Ma who was making shoes next to her, "Where did all those good things go to, Sister Jiao! She hasn't gained a few pounds in such a long time. The kitchen is really a jerk, and the food I give to her is often short of weight. The money is really getting more and more expensive. Sister Jiao has been sick twice, and I have worked for two years in embroidery for nothing!"
Grandma Shen's family, the Feng family, has been in decline for many years, so naturally Grandma Shen's dowry is very limited. The old lady is also very tight-fisted and doesn't pay much attention to Grandma Shen, so naturally there is no reward for her. On weekdays, in addition to the monthly allowance, she relies on doing some embroidery to make money.
Grandma Shen thought that when she was in the Feng family, she was carefully brought up. She could read and understand the account books, had good handicrafts, and could even sing a few songs.
Shen Wenjiao can testify that her own mother's singing of that little ditty is very nice. At least Shen Wenjiao privately feels that her mother's singing is better than that of some modern celebrities.
Mother Lu smiled and comforted her, "Don't worry too much, grandma. Children grow quickly. If she eats well and moves more, she will definitely get well. Our little girl is pretty. When she comes back, she will have her feet wrapped beautifully. With the support of the Shen family, she will have a bright future!"
Shen Wenjiao turned her back to Grandma Shen, looking depressed, "Mother Lu, can't you not mention this? This is too depressing."
Grandma Shen proudly lifted up her three-inch golden lotus to take a look, then she felt depressed when she saw the frail body of her own daughter Jiao.
"Mother Lu, do you think Jiao Jieer can bear the pain of foot binding? I was in so much pain at the time! Alas~"
Mother Lu didn't quite understand why Grandma Shen was hesitating. You know, some people want such an opportunity but don't have it yet! In Datong, where feet are more important than face and life, only a pair of extremely beautiful three-inch golden lotus feet can have a chance to knock on the door of a wealthy family.
Slaves like them don't have such an opportunity yet!
"Grandma, you must not be soft-hearted. Whether to bind feet or not is not our business. The whole Shen family is watching! If it affects the reputation of other branches, the old lady will definitely have an opinion. Then our stable life will be over."
"Only those who endure the most hardships can become superior people. There is no distinction between men and women if feet are not bound. Only by binding our feet can our little sister have a bright future."
After all, Lu Ma still felt sorry for Shen Wenjiao. She advised her for a while and finally said, "But our sister Jiao is small and young, so it's not too late for her to bind her feet for a while at night."
Shen Wenjiao heaved a sigh of relief when she heard this. Tomorrow after tomorrow, there are so many tomorrows. As long as she put it off, she might be able to come up with a good idea someday.
"That's right. I'll spend a little more money to find the best foot-binding woman here to bind Jiao'er's feet. She will definitely be beautiful by then. It doesn't matter if it's a year or two later."
Grandma Shen only has one daughter, Shen Wenjiao, and now all her hopes are placed on her! It is better to focus on the health of the child. Shen Wenjiao's two consecutive illnesses before obviously scared her.
Although Grandma Shen didn't say it out loud, she was definitely afraid and terrified in her heart.
Shen Wenjiao was relieved and started playing shuttlecock seriously with Shuang'er. No matter what the future holds, she needs to exercise now, because the body is the capital of revolution. To put it bluntly, if she really wants to escape in the future, she must have a healthy body to run fast!
The courtyard was peaceful and tranquil. Two children were playing shuttlecocks, and occasionally one or two children's laughter could be heard. Two women were sitting under the shade of a tree, each doing their own needlework and occasionally chatting, with bright smiles on their faces.
At this time, Aunt Wang rushed in with a panic-stricken look on her face, and immediately broke the peaceful atmosphere in the yard.
"Grandma, Sister Fang from the fourth room is gone. Grandma and Master got into a fight~"
"What? Isn't Fang Jie'er about the same age as our Jiao Jie'er? I haven't heard that she was sick recently! How could such a healthy child suddenly pass away?" Grandma Shen was so shocked that she stood up suddenly. Since Fang Jie'er was born in the same year as her own Jiao Jie'er, she usually paid more attention to her.
Sometimes when I paid my respects to the old lady, I saw Fang Jie'er, who was healthier than my own children, with rosy cheeks. How could she pass away suddenly?
Mother Lu also quickly stood up and supported Grandma Shen, who was standing unsteadily due to her bound feet. She had some guesses in her mind and said in a panic, "I heard that Sister Fang started to bind her feet at the same time as our Sister Jiao. Could it be that..."
Lu Ma's guess was confirmed by Wang Ma's heavy nod. Fang Jie'er and Shen Wenjiao from the fourth room started to bind their feet together. Shen Wenjiao's side came over and she had a fever that wouldn't go away, so she could only let go of her feet and wait for the next opportunity.
But Fang Jie'er had her biological mother watching over her. For the sake of her daughter's future, the fourth grandmother cruelly ignored her daughter's cries and just wanted to wrap it tighter and tighter so that it would look good.
As a result, Fang Jie'er got a fever when she wasn't paying attention. Since she was a fragile girl, Fourth Grandma hesitated for a moment. Fang Jie'er didn't hold on and left.
"The fourth master was so angry that he wanted to beat the fourth grandma! The fourth master said that the newspapers in Peking had said that women should no longer bind their feet. It was the fourth grandma's stubbornness that killed her daughter."
Grandma Shen was literate and able to read accounts, but she had little interest in newspapers and did not pay much attention to this kind of news.
"What the Fourth Master said is like stabbing the Fourth Mistress in the heart! The newspapers said foot binding is prohibited, but they have to publicize one wife in the newspapers! Doesn't the Fourth Master still have three concubines?"
Lu Ma has always disagreed with what is publicized in the newspapers. She thought that these were things that the masters above cared about, so what did they have to do with servants like them!
