Chapter 738 Women’s Difficulties (2)
"This is too tragic." Ji Xiaowu frowned. Such a life was too painful for a woman. After getting married, she looked forward to spending the rest of her life with her husband. However, on the wedding day, her vision for the future turned into confusion about it.
"You all like to say that it's fate, but I don't think so. If I had accepted my fate at the beginning, would I be who I am now?" Aunt Ji looked at Aunt Li and disagreed.
Aunt Li rubbed Ji Xiaowu's hair and said gently, "Do you know that you have become a legend in the eyes of women? You have gone from being a penniless abandoned woman who was divorced and kicked out of the house to today. You have successfully remarried, and married a famous and powerful general in a sedan chair. You own your own land and even opened an embroidery workshop. Let's not talk about other things. These alone have already surprised them."
"Generally, even if a divorced woman returns to her parents' home, her family will not take her in for too long unless she is the only child in the family. Her son will not say anything, but her daughter-in-law will definitely not welcome a married woman to live in her parents' home." Aunt Li sighed, "I should have been at home, but when I returned home, I found that my former room had become someone else's."
"Without support, they can't stay in their parents' home for long. Where else can they go? In the end, they can only return to their husband's home in despair, and be laughed at again. They endure humiliation and beg to stay and work like a slave, but no one cares about them." Aunt Li's words were full of sadness. "Some women were better off. They were accepted by their parents' homes, but in the blink of an eye, their parents' homes found them widowers and they were married off again."
Ji Xiaowu looked at Aunt Li solemnly. "Why isn't there a good one?"
"If you can remarry, and the new husband knows how to love you, then that's good," Aunt Li replied. "It's hard to explain what's good. The first man was good but didn't treat her well, and the second man treated her well but his conditions were average or worse. Do you think this is a good or bad marriage?"
"…It's really hard to say whether this is good or bad!" said Ji Xiaomu depressedly, unable to summarize it in one sentence.
"They are the ones who are living their lives, and only they know how hard it is, so it's hard for others to help." Aunt Li grabbed Ji Xiao's hand, her eyes full of kindness. "I know you are kind and want to help them, but every family has its own problems, and some things can't be explained in a few words. This is a thankless task, and you can't change it by your own strength."
Ji Xiaowu understood what Aunt Li meant. This was different from opening an embroidery workshop. Opening an embroidery workshop could help those girls who were neglected by their families learn skills and become self-reliant.
But if you want to help those women who are not living well in their husband's family, it is not something that can be solved simply by doing something.
To fundamentally solve the problem is not something that can be accomplished overnight. It will take a lot of time and energy, and may even be thankless. Therefore, Aunt Li does not agree with Ji Xiaomu to do this.
"Mom, I will think about it carefully." Aunt Ji nodded and smiled at Aunt Li.
"Just don't blame me for being cruel." Aunt Li heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that Ji Xiaomu finally understood.
"Mother, you are doing this for my own good. I know." Aunt Ji smiled at Aunt Li and said, "Mother, why do you know so much about this?"
