Back to the 60s: The Struggle Career of a Charmed Wife

Lu Zhaodi stared with a pair of dull and lifeless eyes, her lips quivered several times but no words came out. 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."
