The Emperor of Qin gave six handsome men

Chapter 283 The Awakening of Ordinary People

He sat quietly at the table, staring at the bright light above his head, holding a book in his hand, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised slightly, revealing a satisfied smile. "Not bad!" He whispered to himself, as if he was satisfied with everything in front of him, but was he praising the article in his hand or the light that brought him light?

Overnight, the topics of conversation among the people in Xianyang City changed. They were no longer keen on discussing trivial matters, and even the first princess who was demoted was no longer the focus. Instead, a new and exciting thing took its place - electric lights.

On a busy street, a group of women gathered together to chat. One of them, a plump lady, was mending clothes skillfully when she asked curiously, "Were the lights on at home last night? My lights are very bright, so I don't even have to look hard when I sew clothes at night."

A thin but energetic young woman next to him smiled and replied, "Of course it is bright! Last night my child was much more active than usual when doing his homework. He always complained that reading hurt his eyes."

At this time, another pregnant woman sat nearby, concentrating on sewing the soles of shoes. With a happy smile on her face, she said, "Life is getting better and better nowadays. My mother-in-law always says that our generation is so lucky to have caught up with a good era."

"That's right. Hey, I remember that my family almost starved to death. Fortunately, the men in my family were brave enough to follow the government to plant those seeds. Now, we can't finish eating them every year. I'm getting fatter and fatter."

The plump white lady was originally very thin, her whole body was just skin and bones, and she couldn't even keep the child. She had the child when her family's life gradually improved, but she seemed unable to lose any more weight.

"You look so good, you are so blessed. My husband always says that I eat a lot but never gain weight, it doesn't bring him good luck, and it's a waste of food."

It turned out that the thin woman's family was better off than hers. The two had known each other since childhood. It turned out that her family was inferior to hers in every way. However, after marriage, their family became better and better, while the man she married only complained about this and that every day.

Being praised, she was naturally very happy, and the plump lady couldn't suppress the smile on her face.

"This is all nonsense. Look at the adults. They haven't gained weight in all these years. Now they have the figure of a little girl. They are rich and talented. I just ate too much. I went to see a doctor to see if there was anything wrong. The doctor said that I can't gain weight anymore. If I don't control it, I will die of obesity."

The thin woman felt better and thought: That's right, the master is not fat, and he is a role model for all women.

"Sister Bai, the doctor is right. You should be more careful. There was a person in my mother's family. His family was very poor before. Later, when he became rich, he kept eating. He became fat and had difficulty walking. The doctor said that it would affect his lifespan. But, Sister Li, when we were in school, the teacher once said, 'He who neglects his wife will never make any money, while he who loves his wife will prosper.' So, don't take those people's words to heart. Besides, if you have the ability, you can support your family. Why bother about what others say? As long as you have a broad mind, you will naturally gain weight."

As she spoke, the pregnant woman lowered her head and bit off the thread with her teeth.

Hearing this, the thin woman lowered her eyes and thought. The fat white woman patted the pregnant woman on the shoulder and said softly: "Huang family, this is their family affairs, don't talk nonsense." After all, it's not the turn of outsiders to interfere in other people's family affairs. This girl's words are too direct, which is a bit hurtful. Everyone should know it.

At this time, the pregnant woman snorted and said dissatisfiedly: "Hmph! If my husband dares to treat me badly in the future, just wait and see how I will deal with him! Well, I have to go back to cook, and I won't chat with my sisters-in-law." After that, she turned and left.

After packing up her things, she went back to her home. The man of the Li family was idle, ambitious, and not hardworking at all. Sister-in-law Li was exhausted like a cow all day, and she, an outsider, couldn't stand it anymore.

That's true. If a family is like this, how can it get better? The man is not capable, but he puts the blame on his wife. How can he be a real man? Wait until the pregnant woman leaves.

Several other women came to comfort her, saying that they had all been through this, that most of their lives had already passed, and that they would just have to keep making do with their lives. The thin woman smiled bitterly, said goodbye to them, and returned home.

When she walked into the house, she saw her husband still lying in bed. She was immediately furious and immediately picked up a basin of water and poured it on him without hesitation. "Who on earth did it?"

The sleeping man was suddenly awakened by the cold water. He jumped out of the bed and looked carefully. He found that it was his own hag. Anger rose in his heart.

"You bitch, are you itching again? How dare you throw water at me!" "Li Da, you are just a useless waste! Look at the Bai family, they were so poor that they couldn't even get enough food before, but now they live such a comfortable life! Look at our family, you are idle all day long, and you are still lying in bed and not looking for work. Are you going to starve to death?"

Seeing that other families were getting better and better, while his family was always in decline, didn't he want to make his family better? But he was very proud. He said with disdain: "Don't compare those merchants with me. I am the grandson of Li Xin, and my status is so noble."

Hearing this, the wife cursed angrily: "Bah, my family was really blind to marry me to you. Everyone in your family is useless. I tell you, you either need to find a job and support this family, or we can get divorced. I will raise the child by myself and you get out of here immediately!"

The wife of the Li family really couldn't stand it anymore. She, a woman, worked hard to support the whole family, but they all relied on their noble status and were unwilling to work. Now the family was almost poor and could not even afford to eat, but they still thought they were descendants of the nobility.

The man responded angrily: "You ignorant woman, you are just a lunatic! One day, I will be able to bring honor to my family again."

"How can you bring glory to your family? Are you lying in bed daydreaming every day? The Zhang family in the front street has a prime minister, and they are driving the carriage well now. What about you? I finally gave you a job, but you can't even introduce yourself well. It's really embarrassing."

The woman was so disappointed in him that she pointed at him and scolded him, but the man thought that those people were blind and did not recognize his great talent.

"What kind of a job is that? We are all a bunch of ignorant people. One day, His Majesty will remember us."

The woman was extremely disappointed and left without saying a word. Instead of pinning her hopes on others, she should save herself! She wanted a divorce.
