Chapter 372 That's also your Jiang Shu's Jiang Family
"My mother was already pregnant with me before, and I was lucky enough not to be aborted by the drug." Jiang Shu's eyes were red, "He suspected that my mother was unfaithful and brought back a bastard from someone else. He waited for the day when my mother gave birth, and then cruelly took her life, saying to the public that she died of hemorrhage. Naturally, he used his hatred for his deceased wife to abandon me in a deserted yard and ignored me for more than ten years! How ridiculous is that?"
She took a deep breath and smiled sarcastically, "If you want to ask him why he remarried, of course it was for the future of his descendants. Now this old lady comes from a famous family and is of great help to the Jiang family. But he didn't expect that this woman was much smarter than the previous two and pulled herself out of the whirlpool early, so she didn't get sucked dry."
Yuan Qing recalled the description of Mr. Jiang in the original book.
Deep friendship and loyalty.
Just four words tell the story of his character.
Deep love is for his three wives.
Every year he would bring his son to the mountain to pay tribute to his first two wives. Although the last one was no longer in the mansion, she had never lacked food and clothing, and he often sent greetings to her.
With this kind of behavior, who wouldn't sigh when seeing it?
The character of Yizhong is that he went into the jungle alone and saved his best friend who was demoted from the jaws of a tiger, nearly losing his life as a result.
Although he was reprimanded by Emperor Yuan Heng afterwards, he won praise from many people.
He did both of these things flawlessly, no wonder no one could see through him.
Yuan Qing told Jiang Shu in detail what had happened in the Jiang family recently.
This included the fact that Jiang Chengfeng was tempted by beauty and accidentally killed his personal maid, his parents were bribed by Jiang's relatives, the government cried out for injustice, and made Jiang Qisheng bear the blame, thus alienating them as father and son, and grandfather and grandson.
There is also a series of inside stories, including Jiang Qisheng being injured, A Xian revealing his identity, Chen Xingwei and Jiang Chengfeng colluding, and old man Jiang killing someone.
These events are closely connected, and any one of them alone is enough to bring ruin to the Jiang family.
Jiang Shu was silent for a long time before he asked, "You are not just telling stories when you say this, right?"
Yuan Qing admitted frankly: "I am indeed not here to tell you a story. My purpose has been clear from the beginning, which is to get your attitude."
Jiang Shu was slightly surprised, "Are you going to attack the Jiang family?"
"It's not that I want to attack the Jiang family, it's that Jiang Chengfeng can't be kept."
The worst thing about the Jiang family is Jiang Chengfeng.
If we dig him out, we can survive for a while.
Although Mr. Jiang is ruthless, he truly protects the Jiang family. When it comes to major issues, no matter how reluctant he is, he will not ignore the overall situation.
As for the rest, they were like grasshoppers with broken legs. As long as you pressed them down, they could not jump up.
Jiang Qisheng couldn't stand such a thing, nor could he do it.
Jiang Shu didn't have much affection for the Jiang family, and even had some hatred towards them.
"That's not only Jiang Chengfeng's Jiang family, but also your Jiang Shu's Jiang family. Do you really want to hand over this right that originally belonged to you to that scumbag brother? As children of the Jiang family, why do you have to hide and not even have a place to stay?"
Jiang Shu was shocked.
Yes, why should she live like a mouse in the dark?
How come Jiang Chengfeng, who has done so many bad things, is still protected by the Jiang family and remains safe until now?
"Jiang Shu, it is not shameful for women to have ambitions and want to climb up. For thousands of years, men have trapped women in the courtyard, isolating them from all possibilities of competing with them, and only giving them a small space to display their talents, such as wives and concubines fighting with each other, and sisters killing each other. But these are all false powers given by men. The real power is in their hands."
Yuan Qing slowly walked to the window.
There is a large barren mountain behind the store, with almost no grass growing.
"They are like 'gods', looking down at the women's comings and goings. When they are in a good mood, they grant them some insignificant favors. When they are disgusted, they can send them to hell with just a few words.
They control the power of life and death. They fight to the point of bloodshed just to win their attention. The winners are smug and seek favor. They are so happy. If all people in the world are divided into different levels from top to bottom, then the poor women, not the poor men, must be at the bottom. "
Jiang Shu was shocked once again.
She had never heard such bold, yet heart-stirring words.
Although it was completely opposite to what she usually heard, even unorthodox, she just felt that these words really touched her heart.
"Men's intrigues can be praised and celebrated, but women's intrigues are considered despicable and are spit upon. People say that they are restless and that beauty is the root of trouble. There are pages and pages of history books about this, word by word. Isn't it enough?"
Yuan Qing turned sideways and looked at Jiang Shu, his eyes clear and firm.
"Women are no worse than men, and they should have their say and place in this world. If being a wife and mother is no longer the only way out for women, they can choose to farm, work, study, do business, teach, practice medicine, join the army, or even serve as officials in the court. They will no longer be restricted or oppressed. They can be sincere, write books, help the country and the people, and worry about the world. What men can do, they can do as well.
I know it is difficult to realize such an idea, but the road is paved by people step by step. If one generation fails, ten generations will succeed. If ten generations fail, a hundred generations will succeed. With millions of women devoting themselves to it, we will eventually see that day come.”
After listening to this, Jiang Shu was unable to come back to his senses for a long time.
She finally understood why she had to get involved.
The emergence of General Shen in the court had already made the great Confucian scholars dissatisfied. They shouted every day that the general would no longer exist and the country would be in turmoil. The words of denunciation and scolding were flying everywhere, almost drowning the entire Yuan capital.
Although Shen Chi became a general, everyone knew that it was the late emperor who sent her to serve under the King of War in order to divide the military power of the Yan family, the Marquis of Cheng'en.
A woman cannot even inherit the family business and can only bear the stigma and support her younger brother.
So what if she became a general? She was always a guard in front of the King of War's tent. She had never been on the battlefield and had no merits. She only had the empty title of a general. Which of her soldiers would obey her?
Although she admired it at the time, she found it difficult to understand.
Now she met someone again, and she still didn't understand what she thought and did.
But what she just heard was an epiphany.
She, and Shen Chi, are both among those millions of women.
"My plan is all here." Seeing that she had figured it out, Yuan Qing handed the prepared paper to her, "I'm leaving the shop in Xuzhou in your hands because I want to see how far your abilities and ideas can go. Jiang Shu, you really didn't disappoint me. I see suppressed desires and ambitions in you. You just lack an opportunity."
