The Literary Hero of the Republic of China (民国之文豪) [MTL]

Chapter 184

　　Mu Qiong doesn't expect to change the status of women by writing a novel.

　　Not to mention women in this era, even men, if they have no money at home, have no status and will be killed if they are not careful. In this case, it is too difficult for women to fight for some rights for themselves.

　　But even so, he still had to write.

　　Someone always needs to start, to make changes little by little.

　　Just say that in the West... In fact, in the West today, the status of women is also very low. The Bronte sisters who wrote "Jane Eyre" and "Wuthering Heights" had to publish their works under male pseudonyms after they wrote their works in the 19th century.

　　And their works, such as "Jane Eyre", created a female image who dared to resist. Such female images abound in modern novels, but in that era, they were very rare, even deviant.

　　And it is this kind of work that makes some women wake up.

　　Mu Qiong hopes that his own works can also become such seeds.

　　He has written quite a few more novels of "Metamorphosis".

　　Axiu's serving lady was afraid that Axiu would seduce her husband, so she married Axiu to the steward's son.

　　Miss and Axiu grew up together, and they still have feelings for Axiu. The son she chose for Axiu to be in charge is not bad. Therefore, everyone around Axiu thinks that Axiu is lucky and wishes Axiu well.

　　But Axiu didn't like the son who was in charge, and she even became confused because of this.

　　Why should her life be in the hands of others.

　　Why can her parents sell her, and why is she going to marry when the young lady asks her to marry?

　　Axiu has many thoughts that are incompatible with this society, but she has no conditions to resist, she is still married after all.

　　After marriage, Axiu and her husband had conflicts in various aspects.

　　His husband hopes that she will take care of her husband and children at home, and when she sees her reading books and newspapers, he will make sarcastic remarks. At the same time, this man obviously has no skills, but he always feels that he is very powerful, and he looks down on Axiu even more.

　　He never cared about Axiu's mood, let alone Axiu's thoughts. To him, Axiu was a child-bearing object.

　　As for Axiu's father-in-law, this man has been in charge for a long time, and he cannot allow his family members to disobey him. He must be the absolute authority in the family.

　　And the mother-in-law... Axiu's mother-in-law only knows how to dedicate herself to her husband and her son. She treats herself harshly, and also treats Axiu harshly.

　　The life of their family will not be stretched, and it can even be called good. Axiu is still working as a servant, and his father-in-law and husband also have salaries, but if the man in the family is away, Axiu's mother-in-law is not even willing to cook, and it would be a waste of firewood to burn a sweet potato.

　　So, when Axiu's father-in-law and husband were out drinking and eating meat, Axiu and her mother-in-law ate raw sweet potatoes at home.

　　After Axiu became pregnant, her in-laws treated her better, but her husband had another woman outside. When Axiu gave birth to a daughter, her in-laws immediately turned against her.

　　Axiu felt very painful, but the people around felt that it was her fault that she couldn't give birth to a son, and she should blame herself for it.
