Succubus' Manor

"Yaheng, it's time to go to work!"

The neighbor yelled at the door of Yaheng's house. After shouting, Yaheng came out of the house for a long time. Yaheng was a tall man who married very early. Since he married his wife, he has become a decent person. , even if they still wear sackcloth, they are always meticulous. His wife is good at housework and knows where to spend money, so even if Yaheng's family doesn't have much money, they live better than single men with the same income.

The neighbors have always envied him.

But today Yaheng surprised the neighbors when he came out.

Yaheng's clothes were full of pressure marks, the neckline was dirty, and so were the cuffs. He was still holding a piece of bread in his hand, and it seemed that he was going to eat it while walking.

The neighbor asked strangely, "Why are you dressed like this today?"

Yaheng waved his hand and sighed: "Daisy went to work, she left earlier than me."

Neighbor: "Your wife is working? Why is she working? It's not like you can't support your family."

Yaheng said depressedly: "She said that all the women around her have gone to work. If she doesn't go, she will be different from them."

"I also said that Your Majesty said that women can work too. She doesn't want to stay at home all day and look at me, saying that she is getting tired of seeing my face."

The neighbor pouted: "Women nowadays are not as good as women before."

Yaheng looked around in fright, and quickly said: "Shut up, Aiwen! If someone hears it, Daisy will definitely quarrel with me when she comes back."

"What are you afraid of her doing?" Ai Wen sneered, "If she doesn't listen to you, you will divorce her, and you can find a younger woman."

Yaheng touched his forehead and broke out in a cold sweat. He took Aiwen to the factory and said as he walked, "Do you know how much she earns a month now?"

Ai Wen: "Then can you earn more than you?"

Yaheng: "Five hundred copper coins!"

Ai Wen took a step back, his eyes widened: "So many!"

Yaheng: "She is working in a printing factory now."

Ai Wen swallowed: "Five hundred copper coins... are almost more than you."

Yaheng sighed: "Now I also have to do housework, luckily the child is grown."

Ai Wen said seriously: "If I get married in the future, my wife can earn [-] copper coins a month, and I will also be willing to do housework."

"Five hundred copper coins! How much more meat can our family eat?! Just think about it!"

"The nursery only pays [-] copper coins a month!" Aiwen has already begun to imagine the beautiful life after marriage, "When I get married in the future, my wife earns the same salary as me, and we will be able to change to a big one in a few years." house."

Yaheng frowned: "Then you'll only know when you're married. Daisy never yelled at me or called me lazy before, but now she's working and calls me lazy every day."

Aiwen: "Then you have to bear it. Daisy is capable and beautiful, and she can earn so much money. Not to mention that she earns [-] copper coins a month, my wife earns [-]. I can be crazy about it."

Yaheng complained: "You don't know, she quarreled with me last night, saying that if I don't care about the children in the future, she will divorce me. She wouldn't say such things before."

Ai Wen: "Then tell her not to work. They were obedient when they were not working."

Yaheng whimpered and said: "She doesn't listen to me now, I told her not to go to work, she asked me if I was going to fight against His Majesty, and also asked me if I thought His Majesty was wrong, and she would put His Majesty on everything. Move out!"

The two of them were chatting enthusiastically, and the young girl came out from the door on the street, and a basin of water was almost poured on their heads.

Yaheng and Aiwen quickly stepped aside.

The girl was holding a water basin, and she stared at them: "Don't you think His Majesty is wrong?"

Yaheng and Aiwen glanced at each other, and quickly said: "How is it possible! Your Majesty can't make mistakes!"

The girl snorted and said to Yaheng: "When Daisy comes back, I will tell her what you said!"

Yaheng was in a hurry, and quickly signaled Aiwen with his eyes, Aiwen shouted: "Dina! You can't say that! You talk nonsense so much, be careful that you won't get married in the future, no man wants you!"

The girl scolded viciously: "You thought it was before! I have to work soon, and my teacher said that my grades are good, and I can go to work in the street after graduation! I don't need a man!"

Girl: "Ivan, you are the one, you should still worry about whether a woman will want you!"

The girl lifted her chin and walked home.

It’s different now. Women used to not be able to live alone—they couldn’t find a job, they had no source of income, and even if they had a source of income, it was shady. They couldn’t buy a house or land in their own name, that’s aristocratic Only women have the privilege. These ordinary women can only marry a man, otherwise they can only become prostitutes.

Jobs such as cooks are passed down from generation to generation. If my mother is not a cook, I can't be a cook.

Unless the cook takes an apprentice, but the cook also picks a girl from relatives and friends, and it's not their turn.

So they must find a husband at the best age, a husband who can feed them and clothe them warmly.

But it's different now. They can earn money without relying on men. Dina also thought that she would find a husband when she was fifteen or sixteen years old, but since she went to school, her whole person is different.

She learned a lot, not only literacy, the teacher also taught them history, and the teacher taught them ideology and politics - I heard that it was a book compiled by His Majesty.

She knew a truth: "The economic base determines the superstructure."

They used to have no economic foundation, so they could be bought and sold, like cattle and sheep, not as expensive as cattle.

Because to their "masters", they are slaves who can't do much work, and they have nothing to lose by taking them out for exchange.

And they dare not leave their "master", even if they escape, they can only become prostitutes, which is similar to the end of being sold by their husbands.

They can only pray that they can marry a good man, don't beat them, it's okay to beat them, don't beat them too badly, and don't take them out for exchange.

Dina was able to study because the people on the street ordered her parents to send her to study, otherwise her parents would be arrested and paraded in the streets.

In desperation, her parents sent her to study.

But even after sending her to study, every time she goes home, her parents will tell her that no matter what she learns in school, she must always keep her identity in mind, and tell her not to associate with those inferior people, In case you can't find a good husband in the future.

Before Dina told her parents that she was going to the street soon, she glared at Aiwen and Yaheng again, then turned and returned to her home.

Aiwen and Yaheng looked at each other, and Aiwen complained in a low voice: "They shouldn't be given jobs. I really don't know what His Majesty thinks. Women are disobedient when they have jobs!"

Yaheng touched his neck: "Let's go, work is about to start, I don't want to deduct wages."

After the two left, Dina, who was standing by the window, returned to her room. She was going to organize her bookcase. Books are now very cheap compared to before. They used to be made of parchment, which was expensive. The only collection of books at home was her father. The few books handed down from the family are not paper books like now, and she can buy a lot of them with her scholarship. Many of these books are books about history, and there are some.

Dina likes to read the most, especially one of "The World After a Thousand Years".

"Dina! Breakfast!" came the mother's voice from the dining room.

Dina put away her books and went downstairs to breakfast.

Her father is a small businessman, but he has already settled down in the Holy City, rented a few shops, and stopped running the business. The family's life is much more stable.

Dina also has two younger brothers, and the younger brothers are still studying, in elementary school.

Because the school was far away, the father didn't want his son to always take a tricycle back and forth, which would cost too much money, so he let them live in the school and paid living expenses every month, so only Dina and his parents ate breakfast.

Sitting at the dining table, Dina's father said, "My old friend, your Uncle Joe has found you a good man. Now he works in the street and can earn 1000 or [-] yuan a month." Copper Coin, sometimes you can see His Majesty, he is a rare good man, he will come to visit our house tomorrow, and then you can say a few more words."

Dina's complexion is not very good: "Dad, I don't want to get married so early."

The father said seriously: "Aren't you going to live at home all the time if you don't get married?!"

Dina: "Why can't I live at home?!"

The father patted the table and said, "Which family's daughter still lives at home at this age?!"

Dina was furious: "Then I'll move out! Anyway, I'm not getting married!"

Dina's mother persuaded: "Dina, don't talk to your father like this, he is doing it for your own good. If you are a few years later, you will not find a good man, and you move out... Where did you get the money? move?"

Dina: "Why do I have no money? I still have unspent scholarships! And I'm graduating soon. The teacher said that my grades are excellent, and the school will assign me a job!"

Her parents fell silent.

My father quickly asked, "What job did the school assign you?"

Mother also stared at Dina intently.

Dina originally wanted to give her parents a surprise, but now she was very upset and said in a muffled voice: "The teacher told me that if I want to go to the street, you can arrange for me to go to the street, and if I don't want to, you can also arrange I went to the factory as a treasurer."

Dina's father's excited eyes lit up!

Contrary to his tough attitude just now, he grabbed Dina's hand and said, "My baby! You are really amazing!"

"If you go to the street, my God! I bet no one will dare to trouble me again!"

He proudly said: "I will tell them at that time that my daughter works in the street. If they come to trouble me again and slander my goods for problems, my daughter can arrest them."

Dina's mother was also very excited, and the couple had good ideas for the future.

Only then did Dina ask again: "Father, do you still want me to get married now?"

Dina's father was taken aback, and changed his face faster than anyone else: "Why marry?! You are my daughter, and you are the same if you don't get married. Let's talk about it when you are older. After you enter the street, You have to put your whole body and mind into your work, you have to climb up, don’t be like those mediocre people who think that everything will be fine once you enter the street, maybe you can enter the palace and become an executive officer in the future!”

Dina's father stood up, patted his chest and said, "Fortunately, fortunately, I sent you to study at that time."

Dina's mother also said: "I knew this idea must be right!"

Dad was still excited: "Your Majesty's order is better! I don't think her two younger brothers are as good as her in grades. Maybe they can only come back to help me look after the shop after graduation."

The problem that had troubled Dina for more than a year was solved immediately because she was about to be assigned a job.

Dad also said: "You should study hard and do things well in the future. Don't worry, your mother and I are in charge of the family."

"If you need money, just tell me, Dina, let me tell you, don't save money, as long as I can get it out, I'll give it to you."

"You have to be willing to spend your money. Remember to bring gifts to your colleagues on the first day you go to work."

Dina: "..."

That's not what you said when I asked you for money for books.

This world is too magical.
