Back to the 60s: The Struggle Career of a Charmed Wife
Chapter 624 - 0624 Establishing School 8_1

Feng Qingxue gently touched Jin Zhaodi’s head, feeling a little pity for this thin, pale girl with thinning, straw-colored hair. "Sister Jiu, our leaders have said that women hold up half the sky. We are now in an era of equality. They have liberated the vast number of women who were shackled by feudalism. Women comrades can also work and contribute, there’s no such thing as a ’financial burden’. Your mind is filled with old feudal thoughts, how does that reflect on Director Jin? How can a director of the political department’s family favor boys over girls? How can he set an example in the army? How can he command the respect of others?"

"Exactly, Zhaodi, daughters are as comforting as a cotton jacket. You can’t keep calling her a ’financial burden’. We’re all women, and like us, have suffered the injustice of male superiority, so why, in the new era after liberation, in the new China, are you letting your child suffer the same injustice that we’ve suffered?" Huang Xiuzhi speaks up, full of emotional concern. "Isn’t every child carried by its mother for ten months before it’s born? It’s like a piece of your own flesh falling off your body, how could you bear to scold and beat her every morning and evening?"

"You all have sons, it’s easy for you to stand there and lecture. I’m not talking to you anymore!" Lu Zhaodi rushed over and pulled away Jin Zhaodi. Feng Qingxue hurriedly stepped aside, not wanting her to touch her.

In that brief moment when Qingxue dodged, Lu Zhaodi had already dragged Jin Zhaodi far away.

She threw Jin Zhaodi to the ground. Jin Zhaodi cried out, and immediately received a few slaps from her, frightening the other girls into trembling.

"Zhaodi’s mum is so scary!"

"Zhaodi got hit again, sigh, yesterday when she came out to play, she still had shoe print marks on her face."

"I can hear Zhaodi’s mum scolding her every day, calling her a financial burden and stuff."

"My mum always calls me her little cotton jacket. If I had Zhaodi’s mum, I would be doomed. I would definitely be a poor kid who can’t even get a meal!"

"Zhaodi is so pitiful!"

After witnessing such an event, the girls were too scared to continue playing, they all ran home. In particular, the girl who was previously grumbling about her brothers getting candy while she got none looked terrified...

Xibao chased them for a few steps without catching up and unhappily went back to his mom.

"Mom, let’s go!" she declared, wanting to play with her sister and eat candy, but no one would play with him, how awful!

Feng Qingxue was also affected and said to Huang Xiuzhi, "Sister-in-law, I’m going to take Xibao home first."

"Go ahead, it’s time to go home, Little Stone is old enough to play by himself." Huang Xiuzhi sighed, "I’ll tell Penzi, oh, no, I mean Little Stone’s father, Wu Lei. I’ll ask Wu Lei to talk to Director Jin. It’s too obvious that Lu Zhaodi favors boys and always beats her child. What kind of example is that? It definitely has a negative influence on the troops."

Feng Qingxue gave an acknowledging grunt, her heart heavily burdened.

Mostly, it’s women who make life hardest for women in a world that favors boys. As a woman, why would she look down on women?

"It’s time to talk to Director Jin. As the head of a family, if he doesn’t favor boys over girls, then Lu Zhaodi wouldn’t be beating her daughter or constantly wanting a son. Often, the preference for boys stems from the influence of the parents and the family’s partners. As long as Director Jin tells Lu Zhaodi that he does not care about the child’s gender, that boys and girls are the same to him, I don’t believe Lu Zhaodi will still be unreasonable." Even if she continues to favor boys over girls, it won’t be as extreme.
