Chapter 180 Letting Go
Chapter 180 Letting Go
Shen Wenjiao looked thoughtfully in the direction of Dr. Jian's house upstairs, and thought of the telegram that Fu Jiuyue had sent back.
My uncle is trustworthy.
Fu Jiuyue: I just thought that my uncle met Jiaojiao and revealed his identity. My good sister didn’t believe it and sent her a telegram to confirm it. I didn’t expect that my uncle would drag his little sister to do something dangerous!
To be honest, Shen Wenjiao was not really a silly and naive girl. Although she escaped successfully after being kidnapped, it left a deep mark in her heart. Girls must be careful when going out.
Otherwise, why did Shen Wenjiao go to famous stores when she went to Shanghai to explore stores? The most important reason is that famous stores are expensive and the streets around them are safe!
"Aunt Feng, I have too many books! They are affecting our daily life a little bit~" Shen Wenjiao's sudden turn caught Aunt Feng off guard, but when it came to the daily trivialities of life at home, Aunt Feng's mind instantly shifted.
"Yes! Miss, you always like to buy a few books when you have nothing to do. There are too many!" Feng Ma is now able to read the short stories in the newspaper occasionally under the guidance of Ms. Feng Ya and others. But she still prefers to listen to Madam's stories. It is more interesting for the two of them to chat.
"Miss, you'd better buy less! Aren't you supposed to save money to buy a house?" Aunt Feng said this in a low voice. She felt from the bottom of her heart that it was not comfortable to rent someone else's house. Only if they had their own house would their life be stable!
By then, even if the young lady gets married, she and the lady will have a place to stay, and the young lady won't have to bother with other people's opinions for them.
"It doesn't matter. Increasing income is more important than reducing expenditure." Shen Wenjiao was not anxious at all when she thought of the money robbed from the three Japanese in the space.
Hehe, if she didn't have a suitable reason and was worried about being targeted, the money she had would have been enough to buy a small house in the concession!
"Auntie Feng, let me go upstairs to discuss this with Doctor Jian! There seems to be a storage room upstairs, and Doctor Jian may not need so much space since he lives alone upstairs. I'll send some cakes and see if I can negotiate with him to borrow some space."
Shen Wenjiao had no other choice. Why would a little girl like her go to a doctor when she was fine? This was the best reason she could think of.
Alas, she has it so hard!
"Doctor Jane!? Miss, you should go to see Doctor Jane upstairs! That's great. The lady's bound feet are always inconvenient on weekdays, and sometimes they hurt a lot. Can you ask Doctor Jane if the lady's feet can be freed?"
Feng Ma and Ms. Feng Ya had a long-standing relationship, and she would take seriously everything she mentioned. Every time she went out shopping, her wife would look at her feet with obvious envy.
Ms. Feng Ya also wanted to go out freely. After seeing the prosperous and bustling Shanghai, how could she feel comfortable confining herself to her small home as she did in the past!
Shen Wenjiao=???=????(●???● |||)
"Really? Isn't her mother the one who loves her feet the most? When she was a child, she often told me about her glory in the foot competition. Is she really willing to unbind her feet? And even if she unbinds her feet now, she will probably suffer a lot!" Thinking of the issue of bound feet, Shen Wenjiao felt a little resentful. No one can stand the nagging of the wheel! Ms. Feng Ya was so persistent about bound feet at the beginning. Although she didn't bind her feet according to her father's request, she kept complaining at home all day, which really annoyed Shen Wenjiao.
Shen Wenjiao, who is now considered to be well-informed, knows that she cannot be blamed on her mother. All the education her mother received in the first half of her life was that a woman's feet are equivalent to a second life, and without a pair of beautifully bound feet, no good family would want her in the future.
"If you have a nice face and big feet, you won't be able to find a husband. If you have an ugly face and small feet, you can still find a good husband. A small foot will flatter your body, and small feet are beautiful."
"When you marry a wife, first look at her feet. The one with smaller feet is the prettier one."
"If a woman binds her feet and marries a scholar, she will eat white membranes and eat meat vegetables; if a woman binds her feet and marries a blind man, she will eat bran bread and eat spicy food."
At the beginning, such words were almost always mentioned in Shen Wenjiao's ears. Thinking carefully, it seemed that the Shen family mansion was filled with such contemptuous eyes. Her biggest fault was that she did not bind her feet~
"Why are you reluctant to leave? It will also save the ladies on the second floor from laughing at you, Madam!"
Aunt Feng also felt sorry for her wife. If her wife hadn't supported her and never abandoned her, she wouldn't be able to live such a good life now.
"Okay, I'll ask you about this. But, Aunt Feng, please remind my mother that unbinding her feet might be more difficult than binding her feet. If it really doesn't work, you can persuade her to just not unbind her feet! I hope it's her own choice. Anyway, no matter whether she has big feet or small feet, she's still my mother."
Shen Wenjiao knew it was not easy to untie the three-inch golden lotus that had already been shaped. She was not worried about anything else but the fact that untying her feet rashly would affect her mother's health.
"I'll tell the Madam. In fact, it's best if you tell the Madam. There's no such thing as an overnight grudge between a mother and daughter!"
Feng Ma was a bystander. Although her daughter was generous with household expenses and cared about her wife, she saw clearly that her daughter only regarded them, especially her wife, as her responsibility, and there was still a sense of distance between them.
Shen Wenjiao looked at Feng Ma's expectant eyes and nodded indifferently, "Okay." Now that she thought about it, her mother had always been very kind to her. When she was a child, she seemed a little hypocritical for asking for so much!
"Well, I'm going upstairs. Don't look back. It will be inconvenient if Dr. Jian goes to work~"
Shen Wenjiao picked up a bag of unopened snacks from the side and was about to go upstairs, but was stopped by Feng Ma, who was displeased.
"Oh, my young lady, how come you come to my house like this? The snacks you brought are not suitable!" Aunt Feng stopped Shen Wenjiao who was about to go upstairs immediately. Her young lady's temper was becoming more and more impetuous.
I really can't wait a moment to do anything.
Shen Wenjiao was pushed into the house by Feng Ma and changed into more decent clothes. She was holding two bags of obviously repackaged pastries in her hands, and in a basket beside her were fresh meat patties made by Feng Ma herself, which were steaming and smelled delicious!
When Shen Wenjiao carried her things upstairs, she really felt like she was visiting her neighbor's house!
Shen Wenjiao came to the fourth floor, where only Doctor Jian lived. She knocked on the door without any courtesy. After a while, Doctor Jian opened the door from inside. He looked at Shen Wenjiao and did not seem surprised at all.
