Chapter 1451: Honest Woman 34
Moreover, there is a well at the doorstep of her house. People always go to the well to fetch water and wash clothes and vegetables by the well all day long. There is a spacious space next to the well and there is a century-old tree. Many elderly people will bring small stools from home and sit under the tree by the well to chat.
There are also many children playing under the tree.
In short, there were always people outside her house during the day, and there were always people who would curiously peek into her yard, only to see Yuanchun either working in the yard or hiding in the house.
Yuanchun seldom went out. She would go out once every four or five days to go to the library to hand in translation manuscripts and pick up foreign books. On the way back, she would buy a bag of vegetables to show to outsiders.
Otherwise, if she never buys groceries, people would easily suspect her of something.
Because she was so famous in that generation, it was easy for Shi's mother to find her when she came.
But after knocking on the door for a long time, no one came to open it, so Shi's mother sat on the ground, slapped her thigh and cried that she was unfilial, divorced, took the money, and didn't want her natal family anymore.
When she heard that the house was bought by Yuanchun, Shi's mother cried even more pitifully, "My two brothers have no money to marry, and this heartless girl only cares about living a good life for herself. She watched her two brothers remain single. Oh, I am so sad. Why am I so miserable? I gave birth to such a heartless and ungrateful daughter who doesn't recognize her relatives. My life is so miserable."
Thus, the news that Yuanchun was a divorced woman spread throughout the entire slum area in an instant.
She is heartless and heartless, and doesn't care about her relatives, and everyone knows it.
Everyone accused her of being heartless and ungrateful, not caring about her brothers from her natal family and only caring about living a good life for herself.
But some people with a positive outlook said, "She just got divorced and is pregnant. If she doesn't buy a house and settle down, how can she have a good life back home?"
"That old lady is obviously a son-loving person. Her daughter got divorced, but she didn't care at all. She just scolded her daughter for being heartless and even wanted her daughter's money to marry her son."
"That money is earned by selling one's job. After the baby is born, mother and daughter will rely on this money to live. If all the money is given to her parents, how will she live?"
"That's right. Can my mother's family support me and my son for the rest of our lives?"
"When she has no money, she will definitely be despised by her family."
"Her family might even resent her for ruining their reputation."
"That's it."
"Once she marries my sister-in-law, she won't be able to stay in her parents' home any longer. She will be penniless, jobless, and without income, and she will be driven away by her parents' family. That will be her real dead end."
So, everyone split into two camps. One camp scolded Yuanchun for being an ungrateful and unfilial woman who didn't recognize her relatives. The other camp supported her and thought that what she did was right.
Even if they get divorced, she doesn't have to go back to her parents' home. She can live on her own. Besides, that's the money she earned from working, so why should she give it to her parents? The responsibility of marrying off her two brothers is her parents', not hers.
Once a daughter is married, she is like water spilled on the ground. Why should she care about her two brothers' marriages?
It's impossible that the mother and daughter would die and devote everything to her parents' home to be considered as having a conscience. Then, can parents be considered as having a conscience if they treat their daughter like this?
When Shi's mother came again, she was scolded by a group of people so badly that she couldn't even raise her head.
Everyone said that she was biased towards boys and treated her daughter too harshly. She even wanted her daughter's living money and wanted to force her to die.
