Chapter 216 Training the granddaughter
In this matter, there is no absolute "right" or "wrong", there is only complex "game" and "competition".
Considering from different perspectives will lead to different results.
Different ways of thinking will also have different impacts on the final result.
For example, if Gu Qingling had not intervened, would Mrs. Yao be willing to share the interests of Mrs. Yao?
For example, if Mrs. Yao can obtain more information, would she be willing to give her the second wife only a little?
No one will know about these.
Even Gu Qingling didn't know, she said: "Human nature is the most complex thing. No one dares to be 100% sure what a person looks like. Even for ourselves, at different times and places, the choices we make will become different. So, this is a question without answers, and only choices and the consequences of this choice."
"What if it was the old lady, what would the old lady do?" Yao Anhong raised his head, looked at Gu Qingling and asked.
Gu Qingling smiled softly, with a wisp of hair curled up at the corner of her mouth, and she said, "I... haven't I made a choice?"
Yao Anhong was stunned for a moment.
"I gave the prescription to your mother and gave the choice to your mother. Then what kind of arrangement will your mother make in the end be the consequences I have to bear. I am not the worm in your mother's belly, nor is she my pawn. There is no one who listens to anyone. I just hope that the choice she makes can be within the scope of my acceptance. If it is not there, either I will find a way to change it or I can only accept it."
Yao Anhong was silent for a while and said, "If my mother doesn't want to give it to my aunt, don't you think my mother is too selfish?"
"It's really selfish."
Yao Anhong's heart tightened.
"But isn't your mother good to you, your sister, and your father? She tried so hard to snatch things into her pocket, and finally fell into whose pocket? After all, everything your mother did was just for your "second house", right?" Gu Qingling smiled, "You said just now. If you look at it from this perspective, your mother is not wrong. She just has selfish intentions and wants you brother and sister to live a better life."
"But, this is a bit unfair to my mother." Yao Anxin bit her lip and finally mustered up the courage to say it.
"It's really unfair. Your mother is the head of the Yao family and your father is the eldest son. Even if they do nothing, they naturally have a lot of resources. For example, your grandfather's title, 70% of the Yao family's products represent the Yao family's invisible connections..."
Yao Anxin opened her mouth, feeling a little confused.
It turns out that as the eldest son, does her father have so many things?
And her mother, because she married her father, the eldest son, also had many - as the mistress of the family, Mrs. Yao had the right to control all the resources of the Yao family.
They are obviously the same parents, but her second uncle and second aunt can only inherit the remaining quarter of the Yao family and have to share it with other concubines. That's all, once the family spends money, unless her second uncle's family has special abilities, otherwise...
Gu Qingling said: "If you are the eldest son, then these futures are yours. It's a pity that you are a girl, so you have nothing left. This is unfair to you. They are all children of parents, but because of the same gender, everything in the Yao family has nothing to do with you. If you marry someone, you will belong to someone else's..."
"But I'm a girl."
"Yes, because you are a girl, but compared to boys, what are you missing than them? Didn't you give birth to a father or a mother, or did you not be given the surname Yao?"
Yao Anxin: “…”
She really thought about this question.
When she was still young, she also asked, "It's all the children of her parents, why do you have to have a boy?" She is a girl, so can't it?"
They told her: No, it must be a boy.
Yao Anxin was silent and gradually agreed with their ideas - because she was a girl and she had no brother or younger brother, so their big house was about to die.
Like everyone else, she hoped that her mother would give birth to a boy, because only then could the big house have a future.
"Look, this world has never been 'fair'." Gu Qingling said in her eyes.
At that moment, for some reason, Yao Anxin's eyes turned red.
It was like a person who had suffered a huge grievance and felt sad in an instant.
Gu Qingling sighed and stretched out her hand to wave.
Yao Anxin approached her, leaned on her knees, and shed tears involuntarily.
Gu Qingling touched Yao Anxin's head and said softly: "Every woman has experienced now is something that every woman has experienced. This is unfairness to women. In the face of this injustice, we can only do two things. The first is that when your power is not strong enough and you cannot change this unfair rule, you can only adapt to it, understand it, and then use its 'rules' to achieve your own purpose."
"Of course, if you can become the second type and have the power that is strong enough to change the regulations, then you can break the rules and make the rules you want."
“But for most of us, what we can do is the first one.”
"Whether it's your mother or your second aunt, what they are doing is the first kind."
...
"Can girls have the same rights as boys?" This is something that Yao Anxin has never heard of before, and it simply broke her previous cognition.
She raised her head and looked at Gu Qingling with red eyes, a little unbelievable, and a little...
It seemed that something was gradually getting angry in her heart.
But at this moment, she didn't realize it.
Gu Qingling smiled and said, "Why can't you? How bad are you worse than boys? Are you not as good as theirs? Or are you not as smart as theirs? Or do you think... without men, you can't be able to support yourself?"
Yao Anxin:...She dared not answer this.
Can she support herself?
She has been raised by her family since she was born, and has not made a penny yet. She never thought that one day she would have to consider the issue of supporting herself.
She shouldn't have taken some shops and farms from her mother when she grew up, and then got married...
"I'll tell you what the secret to snatch the right to speak from a man?" Gu Qingling said, leaning into Yao Anxin's ear and started to speak softly.
Yao Anhong was listening with his ears pricked up: "..."
——Old Mrs., are you sure you are doing this?
——I am your eldest grandson!
——And, why do I feel like you teach your granddaughter these things in front of your eldest grandson...
Yao Anxin widened her eyes: "Really?!"
Gu Qingling nodded: "Of course it's true. If you don't believe it, you can observe it carefully after you go back today. There are so many women in our family. If she wants to live a happy life, you will understand what characteristics she has."
Yao Anxin nodded.
After being trained by Gu Qingling for so long, she has learned three important steps: "asking questions", "finding clues", and then "solving problems".
