Chapter 171: Female Supporting Character in the Period Literature (6)
"Besides, Ruan Tang might not be happy with my meddling in her affairs."
Why did Ruan Tang pursue Lu Shaofeng? Wasn't it because of his background? One was after money and the other was after sex, which was fine. She wouldn't go up and cause trouble for him.
The system said: "When you first met Li Qing, you didn't think like this."
"Could Li Qing's situation be the same as Ruan Tang's? I helped Li Qing because she was surrounded by bad people who had bad intentions towards her. The plot wanted her to live alone, so that she could only rely on the male protagonist and could only escape her original family through marriage. But Ruan Tang is obviously not like that."
Anyone who is kind to Ruan Tang has a relatively high social and family status, while those who oppose her are almost all from the bottom of society.
Ruan Tang has the role of a family darling. She loves her family very much. Even though her sisters-in-law don't get along with her, in the patriarchal society in the book, no matter how capable her sisters-in-law are, they can't get out of the Five Fingers Mountain of their husbands.
For example, Ruan Tang's third sister-in-law became a "troublemaker" in everyone's eyes because of her strong ability to stir up trouble. Ruan Tang's third brother divorced Du Hongmei no matter how she cried, on the grounds that she was restless and could not live a normal life.
Finally, with Ruan Tang's help, her third brother married a female classmate from college who lived in the city. It was the female classmate who pursued this divorced country man with a child.
As for Ruan Hongmei, just a few years after returning to her parents' home, she was sold to an almost 40-year-old widower by her family who favored boys over girls. Perhaps in order to implement the principle of "evil will be punished with evil", the day Ruan Hongmei was tied up and sent to the old widower's house happened to be the day when the third son of the Ruan family married his wife who was eight years younger than him.
Ruan Tang is different from these cannon fodders. She has many choices. Even if she does not choose to be with Lu Shaofeng, her family is willing to support her.
Later, Ruan Tang was admitted to university, which gave her more choices, but she still chose Lu Shaofeng.
The reason is not difficult to guess. Lu Shaofeng is the best man in all aspects among her many choices.
The plot mentions Ruan Tang many times that she is a selfish person. She does not have the same ambitions as the heroines in other eras, such as leading the villagers out of poverty and into prosperity. All she has in her eyes is herself, and her life goal can be summed up in seven words - eat well, drink well, and live well.
Lu Changqing has trypophobia. She is afraid of people with many schemes, and even more afraid of people who never get enough of taking advantage of others.
Lu Changqing discussed with the system all the way about what kind of person Ruan Tang was. When she returned to the village, she met a few children digging wild vegetables with bamboo sticks on the edge of the field.
"Xiaocao, you are picking wild vegetables with your sisters." Lu Changqing greeted the little girl in front.
Ruan Xiaocao showed her white teeth and called out obediently, "Sister Su Yun."
The names of these sisters are very sloppily written, Xiaocao, Xiaohua, Xiaoshan, Xiaoshui, which are obviously the names of passers-by NPCs.
A few big-headed kids behind Ruan Xiaocao also shouted for help.
Lu Changqing took out four pieces of milk candy without the candy wrappers from the space and fed them to the four sisters one by one.
The Infinite World is very tricky. After completing the task in the current task world, the tasker is not allowed to take anything away except for a few special items.
But things bought in the points mall can be used across worlds. For example, the candy that Lu Changqing gave to the children was bought by her in another world a long time ago to bribe other children.
When the four children tasted the candies in their mouths, their eyes lit up. Xiaoshui was the youngest, and his tiny mouth couldn't hold the candy. He drooled and used his black hands to catch the candy that fell out of his mouth.
Lu Changqing couldn't bear to watch it, so he pinched a leaf of wild grass, took the candy out of her mouth and put it on the leaf. Then he took Xiaoshui's hand, took her to squat by the field, and helped her wash her hands.
Although the water in the field was not necessarily very clean, the little girl's hands were really dirty, as if she had just dug coal.
While helping Xiaoshui wash her hands, Lu Changqing also educated the four sisters on hygiene. "When your hands are dirty, don't put them in your mouth, and don't use your hands to receive food, okay? It's easy to get sick."
The three grass sisters stood on the edge of the field somewhat stiffly, like students being taught by a teacher.
Lu Changqing lifted Xiaoshui's hand and swung it in the air. Now he could distinguish the palm and the back of her hand.
Lu Changqing stuffed the candy back into Xiaoshui's mouth. The little girl smiled sweetly at her, held the candy with both hands and began to lick and bite it.
Lu Chang stood up and looked at the wild vegetables in the small straw basket. It was a thin layer, mostly Houttuynia cordata and dandelions.
"How long have you been digging?"
Xiao Cao said, "I just came out of the house."
Lu Changqing looked up at the sun and said, "Let's go home first. It's too hot. Don't get a heat stroke."
Xiao Cao pointed to the row of locust trees by the river not far away and said, "I plan to take my sisters to the river to dig. There are trees there, so it won't be too hot."
Lu Changqing looked around and saw no adults around, so he drove Xiaocao and the others back to the village. "The river is so deep, what should we do if we fall in? If we need to dig, we can go to the mountains."
"Oh."
Several girls turned around and walked towards the village. Xiaohua held Xiaoshui's hand and walked in front. Lu Changqing followed behind. Looking at the skinny backs of the children, he felt uncomfortable.
Ruan Xiaocao's family is an example of a family that wants to have more children the poorer they are. Now they can barely support four daughters, yet they are still thinking about having a son to carry on the family line.
After sending the four sisters to the village and watching them go up the mountain, Lu Changqing turned around and returned to Zqingdian.
As soon as he entered the room, he saw Qin Zhenglian and Ren Liu lying on the bed and sleeping soundly.
Lu Changqing had nothing to do, so he took out a pencil and a notebook from under his bamboo bed and began to draft a business plan for a "chicken farm."
From site selection to nurturing to sales, all these contents need to be written, but not all of them.
Because the captain was not her father, Lu Changqing was cautious and did not dare to write too much detail.
If we remove the summary and various slogans, it might take more than ten pages to write in modern times, but she only used one piece of paper.
Looking at the contents on the paper, Lu Changqing was full of confidence. She was waiting for the team leader to come and give the monthly ideological education class to the young people the day after tomorrow, and then she would take it out in front of everyone to "astonish everyone".
The next day, Lu Changqing was assigned the task of applying fertilizer to the corn field, carrying farmyard manure from the bottom of the mountain to the top of the mountain.
At the end of the day, Lu Changqing was so tired that he didn't want to talk anymore.
Seeing Lu Changqing like this, Qin Zhenglian shook his head and said, "This job is considered easy now. When it comes to breaking corn, it will really be a nightmare."
Lu Changqing (shivering): Thank you, I’m already scared!
