At the Wedding, My Relatives All Laughed at Me for Being Useless Until I Received a Text Message

A work that has undergone "refinement" is more like real life What impressed me most about this novel was not the slap in the face, but the process of deliberation. As a reader, I saw it published on the platform, tweaked, modified, and ultimately safely approved. Those changes - the word "scold" in the title was replaced by "laughing", and the third aunt's sentence "a woman's lack of talent is a virtue" was replaced by "a girl can find a good home" - these subtle adjustments removed the risk of misreading the story, and also made me think of a truth: real creation is not about expressing emotions directly, but finding the precise landing point between rules and expressions. The ridicule, contempt, and silence endured are more clearly reflected in the revised text. The conversation between mother and daughter - "As long as I am happy, I don't need to let them know" - is almost a footnote to the relationship between women of an entire generation. They don't need to prove anything, they just need to live a good life, see the flowers bloom, and keep a steady path. If this work will be read by more people, I hope it will be more than just "cool". It is more like a mirror, allowing everyone who has been underestimated at the dinner table or silenced in the family group to see the journey they have taken. Writing is long and honest. This thoughtful work deserves to be taken seriously.
